学2020-2021学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题考试时间100分钟一、阅读选择AUndergroundThe world's first subway was built in in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems i n the city of . The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of and travel easily to wor k each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that th ey could depend on to go to and from work, they would reloca te their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems, the idea of the London Underg round, the first subway system, was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several probl ems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in Janu ary 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast undergr ound track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30, 000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treat ed to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was movi ng was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunn els later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. E ven with its problems, riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.1．What led the British government to build the London Unde rground?A．Traffic jams and pollution. B．Population and pollut ion.C．Overcrowding and traffic jams. D．The poverty and s ubway problems.2．How did the London Underground solve the smoke proble m?A．It made the tunnels larger. B．It put fans in the tu nnels.C．It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.D．It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train. 3．The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “_ _______”.A．be troublesome B．become popular and fash ionableC．keep up with D．seize4．Which of the following is TRUE?A．To relocate the workers’ homes outside London, the gover nment built the subway.B．There were so many problems and delays that in 18th cen tury the first subway opened.C．The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic. D．There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.BIf Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his s pecial day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't eve n remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confuc ius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners mu st cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of Chin a.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in m ore than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese lang uage and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usuall y include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should ta ke advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for t he drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with th e United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in C hina are reading books about Confucius to understand their C hinese customers.So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture t o the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people i n the West, even if his birthday is.5．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________. A．provide some key facts about ConfuciusB．attract the readers' interest in the subjectC．show great respect for the ancient thinkerD．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations 6．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students __ ______.A．have a great interest in studying ChineseB．take an active part in Chinese competitionsC．try to get high scores in Chinese examsD．fight for a chance to learn Chinese7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Old Thinker wit h a Big Future8．The passage is likely to appear in ________.A．a biography B．a history paper C．a newspaperD．a philosophy textbook二、七选五Parents are often frightened to talk to their kids about money. In fact kids need to understand how to save and manage thei r money. Proper preparation for your children, even at a youn g age, can start them down the path of a successful financial l ife. 9．Talk early and often.Children start learning about money long before their first savi ngs account, job or credit card.10． Avoiding the subject until your child needs a bank accou nt can make the conversation confusing.Everyday activities are teachable moments.11． An ATM stop offers a chance to explain that money doe sn’t actually come from a machine. You can discuss earned in come，investment (投资) returns and even inheritance. Opening bills is a chance to talk about payment for services, credit card debt and interest r ates. Children need to be taught about debt, specifically loans and credit cards.Talk about giving.Children should learn that money doesn’t always need to be u sed for them. 12．Don’t just write the charitable check. Get t he kids involved in the process by asking them to pick and ch eck charities.Websites like www. charitynavigator. org and www. guide. sta r. org provide information and ratings.13．If they open a savings account, they can place their savings in the bank to earn a small amount of interest. Besides, they ca n learn about fees, account maintenance (维护) and even interest. It can provide a motivation (动机) for them to save money. You can offer them a prize if they put the money into savings.A．It can also provide help for others.B．Open a checking and savings account.C．Children are eager to know about money.D．Parents should help their children know how to use mone y.E.Here are some tips that might help you teach your kids abo ut money.F.A trip to the grocery store is a good time to explain price comparison and value.G.Begin the conversation even before they’re in school by talk ing about work and money.三、完形填空The True Story of Treasure IslandIt was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson’s imagination. 14 , recent researc h has found the true story of this exciting work.Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 15 for many years.

AFlorence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so”, she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen —and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.1. When she was a child, Florence _______.A. loved to travel very muchB. knew what her duty in life wasC. loved to help the sick peopleD. want to learn music and drawing in the future2. During the Crimean War in 1854, Florence served in the front hospital where _______.A. she earned a little moneyB. work was very difficultC. few soldiers died because of her workD. she didn’t have enough food or clothes3. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.B. She wrote a book on public health.C. She worked as a nurse all her life.D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.4. The passage can best be described as _______.A. the life story of a famous womanB. a description of the nursing workC. an example of successful educationD. the history of nursing in EnglandBA new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn."Even if panies are marketing them as educational, they're not teaching the babies anything at this time," said Anna Sosa the study's author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers pared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks, or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys.Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names and descriptions of the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants’ play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. "Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only cognitive(认知的) skills, but social and developmental skills," she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just "make believe" activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.5. What’s Anna Sosa’s attitude towards panies claiming that their toys are educational?A. supportiveB. indifferentC. uninterestedD. doubtful6. We can learn from the text that babies in the research __________.A. liked traditional toys better than electronic toysB. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysC. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toysD. listened to audio recordings of their parents7. Children develop language more quickly when their parents __________.A. read them picture books oftenB. teach them how to speakC. buy them a lot of toysD. throw away their electronic toys8. According to Adrienne Appell, playing __________.A. can’t take the place of learningB. shouldn’t take most of children’s timeC. is good to children’s overall developmentD. can’t develop children’s cognitive skillsThere was a time,not so long ago, when I was busy,busy.At least I thought I was.I told people I worked 60 hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a night.As I plained to anyone stuck next to me at parties, I was basically too busy to breathe.Now I work 45 hours a week and sleep close to eight hours a night.But I’m not getting any less done.My secret?I started keeping track of how I spent my time,recording how many hours and minutes I devoted to different activities,sleep and chores.I soon realized I’d been lying to myself about where the time was going.What I thought was a 60-hours workweek wasn’t even close.I would have guessed I spent hours doing dishes when in fact I spent minutes.I spent much time lost on the Internet or hanging about,unsure exactly what I was doing.I’m not alone in this time fog.If you believe results from some studies, plenty of people have false impressions of how they spend time in our “too-rushed-to-breath”world.We all have the same 168 hours per week-a number of people think it over even as they talk about “24-7”with abandon--but since time passes whether we admit it or not.We seldom think through exactly how we’re spending our hours.We also live in a petitive society, and so by plaining about our overwork,we show that we devoted to our jobs and our families.Being “busy”and “starved for time”is a way to show we matter.Put another way,it makes us feel important.But if you think about it,plaining about a very long to-do list is not only boring,it’s sad excuse for one’s self-esteem(自尊).Owning up to how we spend our hours gives us more control of our time, and finally,of our lives.9.What does the author mainly talk about in the first two paragraphs?A.He was made so busy all by himself.B.He was once terribly busy every day.C.He has a good six-hour sleep a night.D.He was too busy to stand his daily life.10.The expression “24-7”(in Para.6)mos t probably means______.A.7 hours a day for rest or sleepB.7days a week and 24 hours a day.C.7 hours taken away from 24 hoursD.work hours decreased from 24to7.11.To settle our “time fog”,the author thinks,we should first_______.A.build up self-confidence in our daily lifeB.B.give up plaining about our lengthy to-do list.C.know that it’s important to own enough available timeD.make it clear how much time we have improperly used.12.What will the author most probably talk about next?A.Why you are so busy.B.Where your time goes.C.How to control your time.D.How to evaluate work time.DMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has bee an area of study in modern life.13.. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The bear.B. The fox.C. The small bird.D. The white butterfly.14.When , certain animals change their choosing of food.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells15.We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy diet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。

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二上学期英语月考测试10月满分（150）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man.I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21.

Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23.

We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostlybecause .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will become much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your community27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how mu ch does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid becoming wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacksto .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions. DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studied used his or her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their incoming messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not havea habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones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。

AWhy should I teach my children history？ That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.The second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less （更不必说） try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio （录音机） tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.1 . In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________.A. it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB. it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC. it helps us understand why things are the way they areD. it helps people accept the present situation where they live2. Some historical figures（人物） are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________.A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB. people may also learn from bad historical figuresC. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD. today’s people can also achieve what they achieved3. What would be talked about in the following paragraph？A. How to teach history effectively.B. Some negative reasons for studying history.C. How to get more people to study history.D. Some bad historical figures.4. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.A. inspire the parents to teach their children historyB. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study historyD. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history,BPut your car keys away and forget about your travel pass --- it’s time to do a bit of walking. National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets, an organization that campaigns for the rights and the needs of pedestrians, so the organization is previously known as the Pedestrians’ Association. The association’s aim is to make streets safe, attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people （rather than vehicles）first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles; the delight of local discoveries --- seeing more of your local areas on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking --- walking can clear your head. Walk to School Week, 18 to 22 May, is part of the month’s activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 11 to 15 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a goodway to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, after having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!5.What’s the purpose of Living Streets？A. T o let people keep away from vehicles.B. To build safer walkways for pedestrians.C. T o help people enjoy walking in the street and enjoy life.D. T o make people aware of environmental pollution.6.Paragraph 3 is intended to show that walking is __________.A. so interestingB. very relaxingC. perfectly safeD. highly beneficial7.What can we learn from Walk to School Week？A. It is organized by the government.B. It is held before Walk to Work Week.C. It has developed rapidly over the last 20 years.D. It encourages students to walk to school alone.8.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph？A. An introduction to Walk to Work Week.B. A nationwide health movement.C. The influence of working day.D. National Walking Month’s history.CWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of ourlives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps （处于沮丧中）, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store？I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy （礼貌） to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke？Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.9. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people' s spiritsC. it can help rid the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others10. The phrase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life12. What is the author' s attitude towards the present world？A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Satisfied.D. Indifferent.DAmazon. com has received a patent（专利） right to send its products to customers by drone planes. The company is the largest US-based online seller of products by mail and other services. Now, the company has received a patent for its planned drone delivery system.In March, federal officials allowed Amazon to test its drone delivery plan. But even with a patent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear the company will put its new delivery system in place any time soon.The US Patent Office published the document, which describes Amazon’s plans to use GPS to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are. The drone will use a customer’s mobile device --- usually a smartphone ---to avoid hitting people or buildings and to find a secure area to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes after people order them on its website.However, the Federal Aviation Administration （FAA） is worried about the safety. Although itallowed Amazon to test the system, the agency said the operators must be able to see the planes. That greatly limits the delivery area.Loretta Alkalay is a professor at the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. Although Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery, Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. She says there are worries that the drones will hit buildings or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or damaged by people on purpose. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “However, it is possible that homes will one day have special area on their roofs designed to receive product deliveries,” she adds.13.What is special about the new delivery system？A. It can deliver heavy products by plane.B. It uses planes without human operators.C. It can delivery many products at a time.D. It is much safer than other delivery ways.14. The underlined word “secure” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”.A. safeB. largeC. specialD. empty15.After reading the passage, we can infer that FAA__________A. doesn’t really like AmazonB. totally support the drone delivery systemC. doesn’t think Amazon should get the patentD. doubts about the drone delivery system 第二节（共5小题；毎小题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。

How to get along well with othersCSoldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status.But in the business worl d everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower tha n another.So how do people in the business world show their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two resear chers using a series of silent films.They had two actors play th e parts of an executive(经理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time.The scene had one man at his des k playing the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.The audience watching the films was asked to rate the execut ive and the visitor in terms of status.A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings.The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the do or to talk across the room to the seated man.He was consider ed to have more status when he walked halfway up to the des k，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front Of the seated executive. Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive，his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering.The quicker the visitor entered the room ，the more status he had.The longer the executive took to answ er，the more status he had.9.The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at fi nding out ___A.how business is conducted by all executive and a visitorB how to tell the differences between an executive and a visit orC.how to tell businessmen at a glanceD.how businessmen indicate status10 Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor.itary people wear uniforms but the businessmen do notC.A study revealing a set of rules about the status of business men.D .It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research .11.The longer the seated man was in answering the knock，_____A.the higher his statusB.the less it affected his statusC.the lower his status D the more it affected his status12.Which statement is NOT true?A Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one cal l tell their status at a glance.B.In the experiment.one actor played the executive while the other played the seated manC.Business people wear similar suits.D. The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status.DCheaters called “pirates” often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some shar e them for free.“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies,” says 15-year-old Hadaia. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of t housands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater o wners and their employees.Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie pirac y. Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible to the human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owne rs could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. T he lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It wo uld, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen insid e. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole i n the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine d ifferent types of cameras. These included the types foun d in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests , she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave o ut infrared light.Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd strip es or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. I t might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and tim e on the movie screen. The information would then appe ar in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might us e the information to track down the pirates.Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the re al movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten film s now produced aren’t profitable. They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers fro m producing anything but the types expected to become blo ckbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.13.From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _ ______.A. most people spend less money on pirates movesB. the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie ticketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD. she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater14.Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _______.A. adjust the brightness of the movie screensB. make sure the images of movies are darkC. make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to seeD. protect the eyesight of viewers in the darkness15.What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?a. She projected pictures on the screen.b. She used camera s to record the pictures.c. She turned on the LEDs placed b ehind the screen.d. She made a special box with a movie s creen inside.A. d c a bB. d b a cC. b a c dD. b c a d二、七选五Ways to save money when you are shoppingSmart shopping is important for a low budget（预算）.The following tips will help you shop smarter．•Make a shopping list．Before you go shopping，make a list of everything you plan on buying．__16___ It will help avoid your impulse（冲动） shopping．•Only bring the cash you need．_17___Before you go out put a small amount of cash in your p urse tocover all the buying you plan on doing．If the cash runs out y our shopping time is over for the day．•When it comes to clothes，just buy the basics．__18___ Chances are you are better off with a small number o f basicpieces that you can make unique（独特的） every day with accessories．•When in doubt leave the store．Have no idea about whether or not to buy something？__19___If you decide later that you really really want it，then you can go back and buy it tomorrow．But chances are ，you will be happy when you save your money．•__20___Not all shopping friends are created equal．Some of them lov e it whenyou spend money because it makes them feel better about th eir ownpurchases （购买）．Instead of going shopping with those friends，call up some friends who will give you their honest opinions and won'tpersuade you into buying anything．A．Try not to stop when you are bored．．B．Put it down and leave the store．C．Pick your shopping friends wisely．D．You can't spend money you don't have．E．Buying used is better for the environment and cheaper tha n buyingnew．F．Before you buy something ask yourself how often you will actuallywear it．G．The rule is：you are not allowed to buy anything unless it is alreadyon your list．三．完形填空A few years ago, an elderly woman entered my video store, a long with her daughter.

AIt was the middle of third grade and I was not sure what had got into me. I lied about many things—I lied that I had eaten all my dinner，when in fact I buried it in the trash can. I lied that I had made my bed，when clearly I had not. My lies were not hurting anyone，but for some reason I felt the need to tell lies on an impulse (冲动) that didn't feel like my own. I was labeled a liar.One day my sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved it. She spoiled us with her time. And she was an amazing artist. She had cool pencils, erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to get her hands on. Then it happened...someone took one of Aunt Kim's good art erasers and rubbed it across the entire top of the TV. The eraser ruined the shiny finish on the TV's casing. All the three of us were called into the TV room and asked to admit. Nobody did！Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was.The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on their way to picking me up. It had to be me! I was the liar. I argued，but no one listened. And then before dinner there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turned out my younger sister finally felt guilty! She admitted that she was the one who rubbed the eraser on the TV.I was invited back!A lie may take care of the present，but it has no future.

CGrowing up in China as a kid, my childhood smelled like instant noodles.It is no secret that many Asians love eating instant noodles. It is a dried noodle block; all you need to do is to pour hot water over the par-cooked noodles, add the flavoring powder and some seasoning oil, wait for 2-3 minutes, and then it is ready. It usually comes with a strong smell that fills up the whole house.It was invented by a Japanese man in 1958 during the food shortages in the post-war period. Thanks to its convenience and taste, this quick and easy meal soon became a global food.China is the world’s most instant noodle-loving nation. It is also the biggest consumer with people eating over 40 billion packs of instant noodles a year, about ha lf of the world’s total, according to a report in The Jakarta Post last year.One of the reasons why so many Chinese people love it is because it is cheap. Back in the early 1990s, one pack of huafeng, a local Chinese instant noodle, cost only half a yuan ($0.07). It was so cheap that even a kid could afford it with his or her pocket money.In my memory, the train in China smells like instant noodles too because almost everyone eats it on the train. "The first bite is the best," my childhood friend, who is obsessed with instant noodles, told me. "The strong smell from the just-made instant noodles is so good."But not everyone thinks the same way. Earlier this year, instant noodles were banned from being sold on trains because the authorities said the smell is so strong that it affects the air quality inside the trains. It is not forbidden to eat it on the train though. For me, instant noodles are also banned at home because my mother sees it as junk food with no nutritional value.29．Why did the Japanese man invent instant noodles?A．Because Japan was short of food.B．Because instant noodles is convenient..C．Because instant noodles is delicious.D．Because Japanese people like different kinds of food.30．How many packs of instant noodles are eaten all over the world a year? A．40 billion B．80 billion C. 20 billion D. 60 billion 31．Which of the following is right?A．The smell has no effect on the air quality inside the trains. B．Eating instant noodles is forbidden on the train.C．I can often eat instant noodles.D．Selling instant noodles is forbidden on the train.DIn my life I've been told that teamwork is golden. There is no “i” in “team”．And for many years it is true. Living alone gets a bad rap (受到责备) in our society. But I've found that living alone can be a positive experience.I'm not the first person to notice the appeal of being our own roommate—31 million people are living alone in the US, making up 28 percent of the total population, according to a survey. In NYC，the number jumps to 1 in paring that number to the 9 percent of people who lived alone in 1950，we know we have a trend on our hands.In my opinion，many people are afraid of being totally alone. But I've learned to really enjoy my own company. When I first started living alone，I found that I could go anywhere without using my voice. Sometimes I would stop at a grocery store and buy something I didn't need just to test that I could say “thank you” to the cashier.But then I discovered something far easier—I started talking to myself.Living alone isn't the same thing as living lonely. When I'm feeling a need for communication，I reach out for it. Or I can pick up the phone to call my family or those roommates. When the time is right，I hope to live with a partner and even raise children. In the meantime，it's just me and me.32．From the text we know the author________．A．refuses teamworkB．suffers lonelinessC．is the first person to value living aloneD．experiences living alone positively33．What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The trend in 1950.B．The appeal of having no roommate.C．The way of being our own roommate.D．The rising number of people living alone.34．Why did the author sometimes buy what he didn't need?A．To see whether he could speak.B．To discover something new.C．To show he was wealthy.D．To enjoy others' company.35．By saying the underlined sentence，the author means________．A．he can tell exactly “alone” from “lonely”B．he feels it necessary to live in a familyC．he doesn't feel lonely though living aloneD．he sometimes communicates with others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。
