Not a dollhouse, but a livable space with bed, kitchen, storage-everything you’d need to live.Why did I decide to build a house? I hoped it would give me skills that really matter in life, such as using tools for construction. And in building the house, I would understand how much labor goes into a home and trulyappreciate what I am living in.But this past year, life gave me a heavy hit: My father, one of my best friends and my tiny house construction partner, died in a traffic accident.This is where my enthusiasm conics from now: the desire to finish my house for my father. Because of this decision, I now have some life experiences that some adults don’t have. I can relate not only to people who want to build a house, but also to people who have lost a parent. And to all of them, I can say that giving up is not a choice.Still, without the help of my friends and family. I would probably stop my project. My friend Luke came to help the week after my father died; he knew I needed to get my walls up. The guidance from fellow tiny house builders and their families has been helpful. Putting windows in is no easy. And installing electricity is not something you do in your dreams. Ten hours of stabbing your fingers with metal string and getting shocked a couple times is not ideal.Sometimes when people get a hard knock, they stay down. I didn’t. I didn’t only want to show that anyone can build their own house; I also wanted to show that when I was handed lemons. I not only made lemonade. I made a delicious lemon cake.（1）One reason why the author decided to build a house was to .A . save some moneyB . learn some life skillsC . realize her father’s dreamD . improve her living conditions（2）After her father’s death, the author .A . lives on her ownB . decided to give up her planC . still looks at lifepositivelyD . has helped many needy families（3）When doing her construction work, the author .A . got a lot of help from other peopleB . decided to lower her expectationsC . had to leave things unfinishedD . found it less challenging （4）The underlined part “gel a hard knock” in the last paragraph probably means .A . get knocked downB . do a challenging taskC . experience something newD . have an unpleasant experience3. 阅读理解Sound travels very well through water-much better, in fact, than it does through air. So it shouldn’t be surprising that many ocean animals make noise. They use sound to communicate and hunt. As biologist Brandon Southall says, “Their whole world is related to sound.”Dolphins whistle, organizing hunts. Lovesick whales sing so loudly they can be heard hundreds of miles away. But these days they aren’t the only ones sounding off. They have more and more competition from human machines.Every day, thousands of huge containe r ships sail across the world’s oceans. On top of the engine noise, the ships’ propeller make a loud noise all the time. All that can make it hard for ocean animals trying to listen out for friends, or dinner. Animals swimming nearby a ship can be deafened or even killed.Underwater construction can also be dangerously loud. Whenconstruction machines called pile drivers were used during repairs to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, dead fish appeared.Geologist pound on the seafloor too, trying to find oil wells and map Earth’s surface. The results are useful lo science, but all that hammering probably gives ocean animal a headache.As people realize how important sound is to ocean animals, they are looking for ways to reduce human noise. Ships could get quieter just by slowing down. Engineers are also trying to find quieter propeller ships.Now some companies are using a simple invention called a bubble curtain, which makes sound waves passing through it lose energy and gel quieter. It seems to work - when bubble curtains were fixed on the San Francisco bridge project fish deaths dropped.We still have a lot to learn about sound in the oceans, but together we can help keep the sea a quieter place.（1）Dolphins and whales arc mentioned to show .A . sound travels very well through waterB . they are surprisingly noisy in the seaC . the ocean is filled with soundD . ocean noise is a big problem （2）What is happening to ocean animals these days?A . Human noise is causing danger to their safety.B . There is less food in the ocean for them.C . They are being killed in large numbers.D . They are losing their hearing.（3）During the first repair to the bridge, some fish .A . started to dieB . were attracted to itC . got quiet underwaterD . sufferedfrom headaches（4）Bubble curtains are used to .A . research on fishes underwaterB . build the San Francisco bridgeC . stop noisy machines workingD . reduce construction noise4. 阅读理解The vast majority of people can buy pretty much anything they need. Not anything they want, necessarily, but anything they need to achieve a satisfactory degree of creature comfort: clothing, water, shoes and food.During my childhood, a Michael Pollan book would have been the prize of my year, were I to find it waiting under my Christmas tree or open it upon my birthday. I also used to be thrilled at receiving necessary things, like simple socks or gloves, as present. Nowadays I have too many gloves. I purchase leather gloves online that appear to be a good deal or just because I like their look.Prosperity is a good thing, right? Yes, of course. But for me, I find that the greater ease with which such a generous gift is purchased, the less significance it has when given. This is why I try harder at gifts.My first line of dealing with this problem is simply understanding the effect of a little time spent. Even writing out a thoughtful or funny card goes a lot further than a “cute top” purchased from a popular shopping website.Need help? Go to your printer. There’s paper in there. Fold one sheet in half and draw a heart on the front. Open it up and fill the card with a poem or a few words of your own. Not only is it obvious that you took the time to selectyour words and write them down, but now you force the reader to stop for a short time and consider what you were trying to accomplish with them. The effort made by the two of you is the gift.No matter how you decide to spend a little more time on your giving, the point is just quite simply that you do. You don’t have to give a pe rson a handmade paper boat to get a reaction. But you won’t be sorry if you do.（1）What does the author think of his childhood gifts?A . They weren’t what he wanted.B . They weren’t easy to get.C . They looked good.D . They were useful.（2）What does the u nderlined part “this problem” in paragraph 4 refer to?A . How to make a good deal.B . How to choose a popular gift.C . How little a bought gift matters.D . I low long the time spent on gifts is.（3）A handmade card appears to be more significant because .A . certain information is deliveredB . it provides a sense of achievement.C . it takes the giver some time to finish it.D . both the giver and the receiver are making an effort.（4）The author writes the text mainly to .A . encourage readers to make giftsB . advise readers to buy helpful giftsC . inform readers of the importance of givingD . persuade readers to make reasonable purchase二、完形填空5. 完形填空More and more people around the world are taking a look at urban farming.

All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden.Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess.I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail（栏杆） at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder（驾雪橇者）, I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a supersta r he was, but I do remember the ride well.I was wrapped heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.4.

The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To look back on his childhood with adventures.B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C. To express how much he misses Leonhard.D. To show off his pride in making trouble.CAre morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions when I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was always higher. So I set out to become an early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy(策略)was wrong. The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.There are two main schools of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.8.Why did the author want to become an early riser?A. Because he found that the productivity was higher.B. Because he wanted to do morning exercise.C. Because he wanted to test which school is better.D. Because he wanted to have more sleep time.9. The author experienced all the following EXCEPT _________.A. going to bed after midnightB. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsC. getting up early occasionallyD. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping10. According to the passage, the underlined “an early riser” phrase refers to _________.A. A person who stays up late until the next morningB. A person who feels sleepy in the morningC. A person whose productivity is the highest in the morningD. A person who gets up early in the morning11.The passage is mainly about _________.A. main schools of thought on sleep patternsB. how to have a good sleepC. wrong strategies for getting up earlyD. how to become an early riserDDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example:“The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (对等物）for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.12. Mirror neurons can explain _____.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late13. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “____”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up14. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

凤冈二中2018-2019学年度第二学期第一次月考试题高二英语学科（卷面总分：120分考试时间：100分钟）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AIn the mornings Alain Pepin works in a surveying office, doing clerical (文书的) work, but in the afternoons and at weekends he does something much moreexciting — he is an underwater stuntman (特技演员). In this week’s article he tells us what a summer day in his life is like.What time do you get up?A summer day for me starts around 7 am. I have breakfast and ride my bike to work.I start to work at 8 am. I spend all morning in front of my network computer working until lunchtime.What do you do after work?Well, I leave the office at 1 pm and have lunch. If the weather is fine, I pack my equipment and set off to the location of the stunt（绝技）. When I get there, I set up the equipment and get into the water. This is when the fun starts. I move about in and under the water in a wetsuit and helmet (潜水服和头盔) performing tricks. It’s quite tiring though, because each stunt is different and takes a different length of time. A photo shoot usually takes a long time to complete because everything has to be perfect.What do you do when you are not diving?I enjoy water-skiing, kayaking and snorkelling (带呼吸管潜泳). I spend most of my spare time, however, planning, practicing and training for my stunts.How do you like working underwater?I love it. It can be a bit boring in the winter, though, when the weather is cold. It is difficult to get a swimming pool all to myself so I can practice. But when I’m diving, I really enjoy it. Every time I come home after work, I feel full of energy and I have a great sense of achievement.1. The clerical work Alain Pepin does _____.A. is about sportsB. pays very wellC. is a full-time jobD. has to be finished online2. According to Alain Pepin, working underwater is _____.A. fairly easyB. full of dangerC. quite interestingD. perfect for everyone3. We can say that Alain Pepin _____.A. leads a double lifeB. should choose a better jobC. needs to plan for the futureD. is always ready to help othersBIn the U.S speaking more than one language fluently is not very common — except in Los Angeles, California. The city has one of the largest populations in the U.S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. More than half of them in Los Angeles are bilingual (会说两种语言的).Maria Elena Burgos, a mother of two American-born daughters, is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children. “We want to keep Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.” Ms. Burgos thinks being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.Ms. Burgos' daughters both want to know their family's culture. “We are doing this in order to go back to our roots because that's part of who we are,” they say.The U.S. Census Bureau (人口普查局) says more than half the adults in the Los Angeles area between 18 and 34 years old speak a language other than English at home. For the whole country, the number of bilingual adults is only 25 percent. The number of bilingual speakers has gone up since the 1990s.University of California Los Angeles professor Raul Hinojosa says that in the past, the children and grandchildren of immigrants (移民) did not continue to speak the parents' native language. But now the opposite is true.In the last ten years, more immigrant parents say they want their children to keep speaking their native language. Mr. Hinojosa calls their choice the “path of pride”. The decision to keep a native language is clear in Los Angeles now. And, as the number of minorities in the U.S. continues to grow, he thinks bilingualism will spread to the rest of the country.4. Ms. Burgos hopes her two daughters can _____.A. have a healthy dietB. become true AmericansC. develop many good habitsD. have a competitive advantage5. What's the attitude of Ms. Burgos' daughters towards speaking Spanish?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Interested.D. Surprised.6. From the last three paragraphs, we can learn that more people in the U.S. _____.A. are proud of their new countryB. speak English very fluentlyC. are learning a second languageD. are forgetting their parents' native language7. Mr. Hinojosa is sure that _____.A. more people will immigrate to the U.S.B. the U.S. is on the path to bilingualismC. the population of Los Angeles will dropD. more minorities will be accepted by the U.SCWhen I was four years old, I got stung by a bee twice in one week! After that, I had a fear of bees. That’s when my parents s uggested that I learn about bees instead of being frightened. I read picture books and watched videos about bees, and I learned that bees help make the food we eat because of their pollination. Take pizza, for example. If we didn’t have bees to pollinate t omato plants, we wouldn’t have tomatoes for sauce. And we wouldn’t have cheese without pollination, either.The bad news is that bees are struggling to survive. Many are dying. Some scientists think it might be because of chemicals that are used to kill other insects. What would happen if there were no more bees? I wanted to help. I thought, “What if I make lemonade, sell it, and raise money to help bees? I talked to my grandmother, Helen. She gave me her recipe for lemonade. It came from a cookbook from 1940.I added honey to her old recipe. That way, I could sell the lemonade and donate some oft the money to groups that are helping to save bees. I could also support local beekeepers by using their honey in my product. And I would be educating others on the importance of bees and helping to save them.My dad showed me how to work out what supplies I needed to buy. At first, I sold lemonade at a stand at a kids’ business event. But I wanted to help bees all year round. We talked to a pizza place near where I live. They said they wanted to sell it. Now more than 30 stores sell it, too. This year we sold about 140,000 bottles. I love helping to save bees. It’s the sweetest feeling ever.8.After learning about bees, the author_______A.discovered their importance to peopleB. developed an interest in insectsC. knew how to deal with themD. became afraid of them9.

From lemon to lemonade.B. A kid and her bees.C. A healthy heart.D.A sweet heart.DDear Mr / Ms,I would like to suggest that the starting time is changed at our school. Classes at Sebastian Valley Middle School simply start too early in the morning. Getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night is almost impossible when classes begin at 7:30 am. In order to shower, dress, get organized, eat a quick breakfast, and meet the school bus by 6:45, I would have to get up at 5:45.Early in the morning, students are too sleepy to learn well. Without enough sleep, young people cannot think clearly or enjoy learning. According to a report called “Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?” from Sebastian Valley Times, “Sleepiness disturbs concentration, reduces short-term memory, and causes bad feelings.”Researchers have learned that teens normally fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Teens who stay up late at night have trouble getting up early in the morning. Studies show that some schools have already adjusted school hours to better match the teen sleep cycle (周期); as a result, students in these schools are learning better on the new schedule.Some of my classmates argue that starting school an hour later will prevent them from taking part in after-school athletic programs. A solution would be to carry out these programs before school instead of after school. The students who are involved in sports and clubs would continue to arrive at the usual time. The rest of the student body could get a little more sleep and arrive an hour later.Teens usually have a later sleep cycle, and learn and behave better when rested. So I would like to suggest that we have a meeting to discuss the problem and listen to all the students’ voice.Thank you for considering this request!Tom Sullivan, Grade 812. In Tom’s opinion, classes should begin at _____.A. 6:45B. 7:30C. 8:00D. 8:3013. A report from Sebastian Valley Times was mentioned in Paragraph2 toshow_______.A. the popularity of Tom’s schoolB. the disadvantages of lacking sleepC. the importance of athletic programsD. the characteristics of the teen sleep cycle14.

Tom wrote the letter mainly to _____.A. put forward a suggestionB. send his congratulationsC. make an apologyD. express thanks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空白处的最佳选项。

But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because they were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s note providing that they are at a healthy weight.So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23% less.People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models1 thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies, whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-esteem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means. It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. Iam glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor’s notes from the models, it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.（1）One of Gucci’s ads was banned mainly because .A . its models are much too thinB . none of its models had a doctor’s noteC . models didn’t act according to the rulesD . its models were dancing in an unhealthy way（2）The numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 showed that .A . many women are on a diet to become modelsB . people don’t know why models weigh lessC . models are becoming thinner with time going byD . the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided（3）What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?A . The negative effects of models’ images.B . People’s attitudes towards mo dels’ images.C . The benefits of becoming thin figures.D . The changes in the standard of beauty.（4）The possible purpose of the ASA’s measures is to .A . change the future models are faced with.B . set up new standards of models’ body imagesC . criticize the traditional standards for modelsD . encourage more people to live a life like models（5）What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?A . Critical.B . Humorous.C . Hopeful.D . Objective.19. 阅读理解I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive 阅读理解People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but theyalso recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as wha t you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.l apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”（1）Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .A . more fruits are offered at lower pricesB . normal-looking produce is banned thereC . imperfect produce is sold at lower prices thereD . only apples and potatoes are sold every day（2）According t o Paragraph 3, Branson’s program .A . prevents people from wasting their foodB . happens to be a win-win arrangementC . teaches food producers how to growD . enables consumers to eat more fresh produce（3）What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A . The ugly food lineB . The food to be wastedC . The abnormal harvestD . All the produce（4）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A . Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.B . Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.C . Loblaws intends to improvecustomers’ quality of life.D . Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws.（5）What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?A . We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.B . The world is usually full of imperfect things.C . Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.D . The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.四、任务型阅读21. 任务型阅读As our family are getting ready for the annual holiday of Thanksgiving, w hich is probably the most important holiday in the U.S because it’s celebrated by people of all faiths. I think back to a cold November day more than twenty years ago. It was a day when my husband and I, married just about three months, got stuck on I -89 in Vermont when our car broke down.We had just visited my husband’s parents in Vermont, and with a huge turkey they gave us slowly thawing , and drove us all the way to Boston that day.So as we sit down to dinner and think of all the things we can be thankful for tonight, I want to say “thank you” to the strangers on I -89 some twenty years ago for giving a young couple a ride when their car with a frozen turkey in the trunk broke down.Never underestimate the difference you can make to the lives of others by one small act of kindness. Step forward, reach out and help. This week,reach to someone that might need a lift.（1）How long has the author been married until now?（2）What did the author and her husband plan to do in Boston?（3）Why didn’t the author and her husband call for help the moment their car broke down?（4）Which word can replace the underlined word “Fortuitously” in Paragraph 3?（5）What do you think about helping others?五、书面表达22. 假如你是晨光中学的学生会主席李华。

2018届高三第一次月考英语试卷I、听力部分：无II、阅读理解(本大题共15小题，共30.0分)ANoad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girl but expected t o marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything – h e would wed a distant relation and bring the two families close r together. Noad had two choices. He could either marry the g irl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parent s and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another ch oice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friend s found him slumped in a comma on his bed after he had con sumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradi se where a strong culture and sense of community protect its i nhabitants from the rigors of the modern world.Itis an image s upported by many millions of dollars from the international hot el community which provides luxury accommodation and facili ties for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annuallyto the holiday island.Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story – one which exists in stark contrast to the sun, sand and sea “dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are o ften marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate(侨民) resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting company which provides day trips to tourists. “S ometimes I have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” The husband’s father, unfamiliar with Western support systems, combats his son’s behavior by call ing in the dukun, a spiritual “healer” who makes offerings to th e “bad” spirits at play in his mind.21.You would expect to find this passage in _______________ _.A . an advertisementB .a newspaperC .a travel brochureD .a book22.It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that the third choice th at Noad’s family failed to foresee is that ____________.A. he fell into sleepB .he went against their wishes and left homeC .he started to take drugsD .he committed suicide23.In paragraph 2 “it” refers to ______.A .strong cultureB .sense of communityC . the modern worldD .heavenly paradiseBIncreasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by g oing online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health te sts or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical c are, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alco hol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fe ar what they might learn about their health, or they distrust ph ysicians because of negative experiences in the past. But pla ying doctor can also be a deadly game.Every day, more than six million Americans turn to the Interne t for medical answers – most of them aren’t nearly skeptical e nough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. The y shouldn’t. Look up “headache”, and the chances of finding r eliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brow n Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as “high quality”. Recent studies found f aulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one rese arch team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccura te and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.The problem is most people don’t know the safe way to surf th e Web. “They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that’s risky, because almost an ybody can put up a site that looks authoritative(权威的), so it’d hard to know if what you’re reading is reasonable o r not,” says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.24.According to the text, an increasing number of American _ ____.A . turn to Internet pharmacies for helpB . are suffering from mental disordersC .like to play deadly games with doctorsD .are skeptical about surfing medical websites25.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they __ ___.A .find medical devices easy to operateB .prefer to be diagnosed online by doctorsC .are afraid to misuse their health insuranceD .are afraid to face the truth of their health26.According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______.A .more than 6 million Americans distrust doctorsB .only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profitC .72percentof health websites offer incomplete and faulty fac tsD .about 10 percent of the websites surveyed are of high quali ty27.Which of the following is the author’s main argument?A .It’s cheap to self-treat your own illness.B .It’s embarrassing to discuss your bad habits.C. It’s dangerous to be your own doctorD .It’s .reasonable to put up a medical websiteCThe Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technolog y known as drip irrigation weren’t trying to solve one of the wo rld’s most urgent problems．They were just trying to survive ．They lived in the desert，and they didn’t have enough water to grow their crops．In its simplest form, it was little more than a pipe with holes in it. But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the right amount of water. Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots, the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants, getting a bigger harvest while usin g a very small amount of the water．Over time, the farmers improved upon the technology, perfecti ng the drippers that regulated the flow of water, and connectin g the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when．If the global population kept growing, the rest of the world wou ld increasingly resemble their little community in the desert. S o they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of t he world，eventually expanding to more than 110 countries. Netafirm, th e company says it’s lifting people out of poverty and conservin g water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer．The mass adoption of drip irrigation won’t save the world by it self. To avoid the coming catastrophe, nearly everybody will, i n some way, have to do more with less, perhaps through acce pting and using other new technologies. Otherwise, it’s going t o get ugly．28.Why is drip irrigation called “the revolutionary technology”?A .It saves the world all by itself．B .It can be sold to other countries．C .It provides deserts with water．D .It makes irrigation more effective．29.What does “one of the wor ld’s most urgent problems ”in Pa ragraph l refer to?A .Misusing irrigation．B .．Lacking waterC .Growing population．D .Expanding desert．30.How did farmers improve upon the drip irrigation technolog y?A. By drilling holes on the pipes．B .By placing pipes just above roots.C. By connecting pipe lines to computers．D .By snaking pipes along the crops.31.Which of the following will be the best slogan (口号) for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?A .New technology; New world．B . Less water; More har vest．C .More grain；Less starvation．D .Water saving；World surviving．DYou donˈt need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our live s, such as the way we shop．Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist．Letˈs see whatˈs in store for your future shopping．Try it on, virtually．Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeg lasses?
