I wan t to steal it when he is asleep.”“No,no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has t he food, he will forget to take his bag away.”“How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He wok e his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool!

She follows a special raw die t and only drinks rainwater.She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughte r, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special d iet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts gr own in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. Th e woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked. And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the reside nts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifest yle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband us ed to own a meat factory way back inthe 1960s. It was then that she decided tochange her eating habits forever. And what a great decision t hat was. I mean, just look at her!When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated ()that she would look lik e a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eati ng raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey t o Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her exampl e, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers fr om diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure.

Larkins wanted to become young by following his wife’s diet.D.Mrs, Larkins owned a meat factory in the 1960sD“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and t hink about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fi ght against their mothers. The images have created heated d ebate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are alway s scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to de al with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be a shamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Ea ch skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. T he creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yan gtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once rece ived a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daug hter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s fathe r, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Mon day, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.“The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu disc overed that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school studen ts hate being urged to do thingsby their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurryin g them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ig nored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feeli ngs within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show of f his daughter’s cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children freque ntly.D. How to blame children needs parents’ further study of carto ons34.What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?A. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.B. It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.C. It is intended for primary school teachers.D. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.35. Where would you probably find this passage?A. An advertisement.B. A textbook.C. A newspaper.D. A novel.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）七选五，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2019年春期高二第二次周考英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每题2分，共30分）AMost students spend their school days sitting at desks learning. Aurelious Woolfolk, however, does a lot more than sit at a desk when he is in school. He scrambles up high ladders, walks down the sides of buildings, and rides in a fire engine. He is learning to be a firefighter at the New Haven Fire Academy.Woolfolk and 28 other students are currently learning what it takes to becomea firefighter. Classes at the fire academy, which is in Connecticut, last for about22 weeks. For two days each week, the students sit in a classroom to learn science, math, and emergency medicine. They learn the science of fires, how to calculate water pressure, and how to treat medical emergencies. During the other three days, the students go outside and learn how to hook hoses to fire hydrants(消防栓), climb buildings, rescue people trapped in burning buildings, and many other things.“Firefighters have to know lots of different things,” said Pablo Menendez, an i nstructor at the school. “We have to treat medical emergencies, know how to handle dangerous chemicals, and rescue people who have fallen from cliffs.”Teamwork is one of the most important lessons students learn at the school. “Working together saves lives,” said Capt. William Seward, the director of the academy. “Students need to learn that they are part of a team.”Fighting fires is not easy. The suits and equipment a firefighter wears weigh about 40 pounds.Firefighters are very busy. In New Haven, they respond to 32,000 emergency calls a year Each time firefighters go out, they know they might not come back. Across the United States about 100 firefighters die each year. “That’s why the lessons learned here at the academy are so important,” said Seward. “What they learn here can save their lives.”Firefighters know how dangerous their jobs are. Their training helps them overcome their heights and fires. “When you’re up there on the ladder looking down, it’s scary,” said one student. “To do this job, you’ve got to wipe out the fear.” Firefighters overcome their fear for one reason. “I wanted to help other people,” said Leah Harwin. “I think it is important to help other people whenever you can.”21．According to the passage, which activity must a student at the Fire Academy complete?A. handling dangerous chemicalsB. swimming under pressureC. jumping from a buildingD. sitting in the classroom22．Why is it important for students at the Fire Academy to have lessons inside and outside the classroom?A. Firefighters need to practice emotional skills to calm people down.B. Firefighters need to practice mental and physical skills to succeed.C. Firefighters need to practice wearing heavy gear to get used to the weight.D. Firefighters need to practice climbing a ladder to overcome a fear of height 23．What is the purpose of the passage?A. to describe the activities at the New Haven Fire AcademyB. to inform the reader of the dangers of being a firefighterC .to compare the New Haven Fire Academy to public schoolD. to force students to attend the New Haven Fire AcademyBSome colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical(临床的)depression(沮丧). That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals(个人) who live or work in low levels of light overnight(整夜) can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light.After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness(不安) at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He say s there’s a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.24．Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because __________.A.they are similar to humans in dealing with colorsB.they are easy to observe and studyC.they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD.they are active at night and sleep during the day25．What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A.They drink less sugary water.B.They don’t sleep well.C.Their eyesight becomes worse.D.Their energy level becomes low.26．__________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.A.Dim lightB.Red lightC.Blue lightD.Darkness27．What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?A.Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.B.Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.C.Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D.Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.CAlmost all theme park accidents can be prevented. Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them how they should behave. They are depending upon you to keep them safe. Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle. Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too. And never put a crying child on a ride. If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed. Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do.Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park. Let them take plenty of breaks.“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four. “Tired kids make parents even more tired. And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds. “You will see cran ky families havinga miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”28. The second paragraph tells readers that ________.A. children should be trained to be more independentB. adults should tell children some safety rules firstlyC. adults should set a good example to behave well in a theme parkD. there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park29. Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?A. They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.B. They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.C. They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.D. Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.30. If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________.A. tell him to be relaxedB. make him share your interestC. give up the present activityD. encourage him to be brave31.

It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the p oor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.32. What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. produceB. holdC. preventD. copy33.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used toproduce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA．c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b34.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process35.The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poorD．an invention copying photosynthesis第二节七选五（共5题每题2分共10分）How to FocusImproving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. 361. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. 37 It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.2. Meditate.Meditating is more than a great way to relax. 38 When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.3. Read more.39 Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.4. Multi-task less. 40 However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you’ll see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half.A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus.B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly.F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook?G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.第三部分第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分）Disneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and instantly became the world’s most recognizable and popular theme park.

From the text we may learn that Kamura is_________.A. an instructorB. a waitressC. a cookD. an artistBDear James,It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bikeride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am stil l fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It’s my birth day in two weeks’ time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear gran dson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some tim e ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it i s to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and be came addicted to cigarettes.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physi cally addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of che micals in cigarettes, This means that after a while your body b ecomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you becom e addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thi ng over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastl y, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happie r and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to thin k that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted inall three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally m anage.When I was young, I didn’t know much about the harmful eff ects of smoking. I didn’t know, for example, that it could do ter rible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more diffic ult for smoking couples to become pregnant(怀孕）. I certainly di dn’t know their babies may have a smaller b irth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I kn ow that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend tho ught I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, an d that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow. She told me that she wouldn’t go out with me again unless I stopped! I als o noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn’t e njoying sport as much, When I was taken off the school footb all team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smokin g.I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It mig ht help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have. Love fromGrandad24.The first paragraph shows James’ grandad .has nothing to do at home B.lives a healthy lifeC.is tired when returning from a long bike tripD.likes sitting in the garden25.The phrase “withdrawal symptoms” in para3 probably mea ns _______.分离症状 B.撤退现象 C.断瘾症状D.戒毒反应26.

According to the letter, James’ grandad .A. didn’t give up smokingB. used to be a member of the sc hool football teamC. is lonelyD. wrote down the advice from his experienceCTeenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitn ess. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “ First, you need to find out your present level of fitness, Then you can design a program me that will help you become healthier.”Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels d fitness that n eed a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight proble m. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many phy sical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers t o people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep ac tive to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Ina ctive teenager should do similar activities, but add some bend ing and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can t ake a little more exercise than overweight people because the ir bodies are stronger.” said Dr, Lopez. The same principle ap plies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are r eally important in order to prevent in jures.” Dr. Lopez said. So me weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.28. What can we learn from the passage ?A. Active people always have a high fitness level.B. Overweight people always take more exercise.C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweightD. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.29. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important ?A. It can make the teenagers grow taller.B. It can help teena gers become healthier.C. It can help to burn up calories.D. It can make bodies stro ng.30. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some_________ ___exercises.A. WalkingB. stretching and bendingC. RidingD. weig hting--training31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Doing ExerciseB. Teenagers’ FitnessC. Different LifestylesD. Overweight TeenagersDA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles i n Western art havechanged many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would beimpossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Conseq uently, this text willdescribe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to repre sent religiousthemes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical pi cture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that i deas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Gi otto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more real istic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually re placed those held in the Middle Ages. People began to conce ntrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanisticattitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to posses s their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb pala ces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictur es of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as th eir activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first us ed by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realis tic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at t his time, which made the colors used in paintings look richer a nd deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for wh ich this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many p eople moved from the countryside to the new cities. There we re many new inventions and social changes also led to new p ainting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived a nd worked in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. T hey were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light chan ges so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their p aintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At fir st, many people disliked this style of painting and became ver y angry about it. They said that the painters were careless an d their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings w ere controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginnin g of what we call “modern art”. This is because the Impressio nists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new w ays. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Imp ressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On t he one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eye s, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, us ing colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other ha nd, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they loo k like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can pre dict what painting styles there will be in the future?32. In the Renaissance, painters__________________.A. painted religious scenes in a more realistic styleB. focused more on religion than on humansC. began to paint outdoorsD. returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art33. Many people hate the impressionists’ style of painting at fi rst because their paintings _____.A. very abstractB. very realisticC. the same as traditional style of paintingD. very ridicul ous34. ____ discovered how to make paintings look more real by using perspective.A. Giotto di Bondone.B. Masaccio.C. Claude Monet.D. Pablo Picasso35. When did people focus more on people and less on religio n?A. From 5th to 15th century AD.B. From 15th to 16th century.C. From late 19th to early 20th century.D. From 20th cent ury to today.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Which can be a suitable title for the text______A. Solutions to pollution problems.B. Some questions about cars.C. Solutions to problems caused by cars.D. Bans on cars' emissions.CThere is no way they just drove into that water，thought Corion.The 16-year-old was hanging out with friends in a parking area under a Moss Point，Mississippi，highway in July when a car with three teenage girls inside fell into the Pascagoula River.It came to rest some 20 feet from land，then sank.Corion would learn the driver had blindly followed erroneous directions from her GPS.It was around 2：30 a.m.by the time Corion and brothers Karon and Caleb Bradley got to the river's edge.In the darkness，they could hardly make out the girls sticking to the roof，the only part of the car still above water.But they could hear screaming.Corion took off his shirt and shoes，then dived into the river.He helped the first girl he saw and，keeping her head above water，led her ashore.Just then，Police Officer Garry Mercer had arrived.He dived into the river to help another of the girls.But halfway back to shore，she painieked and went underwater，pullingMercer down with her.Corion jumped back into the water and helped them until they could stand."If he hadn't been there，who knows？"Mercer told the Washington Post.There was still one girl，Cora Watson，19，in the water.She was swallowing water，scared，struggling to float but fail."I heard Cora screaming Help！and I thought she was done，"Caleb told WLOX in Biloxi."I just knew my last breath was coming，"Watson said，"My mind said，You're slowly losing yourself."She began to go under water."Corion had grabbed me."The three girls and Officer Mercer were taken to the hospital and released.They're alive because Corion risked his life to save them.They're alive，says his mother，Marquita Evans.8.

AHaving a large collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. They may be got from your father and your father’s father or they can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.From my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. For example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field; yo u can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that.Reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what life will be like in the future.Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too.In short, I would like to say that reading is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be an erudite person.1．In the writer’s opinion, some people have many books at home only to.A.make their houses look more beautifulB. show that their fathers are wealthyC. impresses others with the fact that they love reading very muchD. show that they are rich enough to have such a large collection of books2．We can learn from the fourth paragraph that .A. people in stories are always unbelievableB. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeC. writers are good at dealing with problems in lifeD. writers often have different experiences in life3．The underlined word "erudite" in the last paragraph probably means " ".A. learnedB. enthusiasticC. smartD. creative4.

In her poem, Elizabeth tells a story about how she desperately loves someone but must behave as if she does not. These actions cause her great pain and confusion. After a while she becomes resistant to her feelings until she discovers she can no longer hide them. She is faced with denying her duty or denying her heart. As she talks through her feelings, I have the impression of someone dealing with the death of a loved one. At first, she is in denial and then becomes somewhat angry. Through the second stanza (节)she moves on to feelings of sadness and regret. Finally, in the third stanza she completes this cycle of copy by resigning herself to her feelings. In her hopes of finding closure, she ends by pleading, "Or let me live with some more sweet content, /or die, and so forget what love e’er meant."In On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader discovers a woman who is apparently distraught (发狂的)over her feelings for a lover she cannot get. Due to Elizabeth’s royal position as queen and the dutiesthat she must uphold, it is no wonder that she would not be permitted to choose any suitor of her liking. She must choose according to what will be suitable to her position on the throne. Elizabeth has to put the concerns of her government and the people she rules ahead of her own wishes. This must have been a terrible burden on her and must have brought on a feeling of isolation (孤独)as well. She did try to find some small escape from these pressures and personal conflicts (冲突)by writing poetry. Through reading On Monsieur’s Departure, the reader is able to grasp the inner struggle Elizabeth has over her feelings for this lover and the knowledge that she cannot have him.8．Why does the author of On Monsieur’s Departure feel sad and regretted?A. She loses the one she loves.B. She is shouldering a heavy burden and is too busy.C. She can’t choose the one she loves.D. She is turned down by her lover.9．Which of the following is true about Elizabeth?A. She hates her royal position as queen.B. She must put her duty above her love.C. She is not suitable to be queen.D. She prefers love to power.10．Elizabeth wrote poetry probably to .A. escape from her pressures and troubled feelingsB. sing praise for true loveC. enrich her personal lifeD. express her love for someone11．The passage is probably taken from .A.a personal journalB.a newspaper storyC.a research paperD.a poetry reviewDI moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas，I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I know. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lives down the street from me.I meet her every morning walking to work as I drive down the street. She always smiles to me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in. I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbor’s front porches(门廊)on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards：“Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.”I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call，and a couple even came by to thank me. This morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply：Resident，5104 Northumberland Road.The thank—you card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the message，“Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady’s basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry，but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr. Kelly was meant to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not get to receive a fruit basket on Christmas，but I believe if she knew what had happened，she would be happy. I feel pleased to have helped Richard Kelly’s last days be more cheerful.12．How many Christmas gifts did the author intend to send?A. Nine.B. Eight.C. Ten.D. Eleven.13．Where did the friendly lady live?A. She lived at the end of Northumberland Road.B. Her address was 5104 Northumberland Road.C. She was thought to share a house with Mr. Kelly.D. The author was not sure about her address at all.14．How did the author’s neighbors respond to his gifts?A. They liked the gifts wry much and were thankful.B. They were thankful and wanted to learn how to make baskets.C. T hey all made phone calls to say” Thank You".D. They all visited him by person to show gratitude.15．What does the author mean in the last paragraph?A. He was regretful that the nice lady didn’t receive his gift.B. He was glad to have made Mr. Kelly’s life more pleasant.C. He thought Richard Kelly deserved to receive that basket.D. The old lady was happy to sacrifice to make Kelly happy.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
