But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目地) and leave no mark.Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully equipped campsite(野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access:walking in makes a real adventure.Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy(隐秘) and minimum(最小的) influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward(迎风的) side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.【1】You needn’t ask for permission when campi ng in________.A.national parks in EnglandB.most parts of ScotlandC.crowded lowland BritainD.most parts of England【2】The author thinks that a good campsite is one________.A.with easy access B.used previously(以前)C.with modern conveniences D.far away from beaches【3】The last paragraph mainly deals with________.A.protecting animalsB.building a campfireC.camping in woodlandD.finding a campsite with privacy【4】The passage is mainly about________.A.the protection of campsitesB.the importance of wild campingC.the human influence on campsitesD.the dos and don’ts of wild camping2.American researchers have discovered that human brains and sleep patterns are confused by devices(装置) that give out bright lights. Electronics, such as laptops, mislead our minds into thinking that it is still daytime, preventing sleep and increasing the risk of insomnia.Sleep experts say human's natural body clock begins to rest and relax from the day between 9 and 10 pm but the use of computers confuses it.A person's brain biologically becomes awake when the sun is out because bright light after dark causes the brain to stop producing the hormone (荷尔蒙) called melatonin that makes us sleepy.Researchers say blue light from devices such as iPads, which is expected to become a popular reading tool when it comes out later this month, is particularly disruptive (干扰的)during the night when the brain thinks it should be dark.Experts say a good book is a far better way of resting the brain and ensuring a good night's sleep because the bedside lamp(灯) light doesn't affect the brain as it does not look straight into a person's eyes.“Potentially, yes, if you're using an iPad or a laptop close to bedtime... that light can be stimulating (刺激) to the brain to make it more awake and delay your ability to sleep,” Phyllis Zee, a professor at Northwestern University and director of the school's Centre for Sleep & Circadian Biology, told CNN.“And I think more importantly, it could also be enough to affect your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm. This is the clock in your brain that determines when you sleep and when you wake up. ”Alon Avidan, associate director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of California Los Angeles, added, “I wish people would just take a boring book — an old-fashioned book —and read by a lamp.”【1】The underlined word “insomnia” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.A.being unable to eat properlyB.brain injuryC.being unable to fall sleepD.lack of energy【2】Melatonin is the hormone that ________.A.makes us sleepyB.helps us relaxedC.prevents us from waking upD.makes us excited【3】The bedside lamp light doesn't affect the brain because ________.A.it doesn't give out blue lightB.it's not as bright as your laptopC.it doesn't enter your eyes directlyD.it is adjustable【4】We can conclude from the passage that ________.A.one who uses his laptop often before bedtime can have his body clock disturbedB.using a laptop before bedtime is more harmful than using an iPadC.we'd better not do anything before going to bedD.the best time to go to bed is before 9 pm3.Who hasn't found themselves reaching for the closest food available when they're tired and stressed? More and more research is proving that this isn't all in our mind. Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods (心情).Carbohydrate (碳水化合物) for calmThis is how some people medicate(治疗) themselves with food — by reaching for cookies or pasta(意大利面食) whenever they're upset. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work. You must eat a meal consisting of 100% carbohydrate, on an empty stomach, to obtain the serotonin (血清素) increase so that you have a good mood. To get the wished-for effect, you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate. Dry cereal (谷类食品), a piece of bread with jam, or a potato should do_the_trick.Protein (蛋白质) for powerOf course, sometimes we don't need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration, so this is when it's important to mix protein and carbohydrate. The protein will prevent the tryptophan (色氨酸) from flooding your brain,and the rise in serotonin(血清素) won't occur.Why dessert makes us happyFat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins (内啡肽), which send pleasure signals throughout the body. This would be fine, except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.Timing your meals for energyBlood sugar drops after four hours of going without food, causing a decrease(减少) in energy. Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes, but don't suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy. When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat. If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals, rethink your schedule and plan ahead.【1】The underlined phrase“do_the_trick”in the third paragraph means ________.A.be extremely smartB.intend to cheat someoneC.bring about the desired resultD.do something to amuse people【2】The function of protein is ________.A.to help you keep calm and sleepyB.to make you feel energeticC.to lead you to slownessD.to increase serotonin in your brain【3】We can infer from the last two parts that ________.A.fat and sugar can greatly help people feel happyB.we humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakesC.the more we eat, the faster we will gain energyD.what we eat is more important than when we eat【4】The main idea of the passage is ________.A.eating for a better moodB.eating to make you calmC.eating for more proteinD.eating to make us strong4.Goldie's SecretShe turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air(样子) of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous(以前的) owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless(焦躁不安的). Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. 'I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.【1】 How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?A.Shocked.B.Sympathetic.C.Annoyed.D.Upset.【2】 In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .A.I felt worried B.was angryC.ate a little D.sat by the fire【3】Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .A.saw her puppiesB.heard familiar barkingC.wanted to leave the authorD.found her way to her old home【4】The passage is organized in order of .A.time B.effectiveness(效果)C.importance D.complexity(复杂性)5.In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (秃的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary(疲倦的) eyes.Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic(电子) keyboard, a microphone and speakers(扬声器). Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125young patients write and record songs. As a composer(作曲家) and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “Bu t they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always r emember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.【1】Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A.most of her hair had fallen outB.she was receiving treatment for cancerC.she felt depressed(沮丧的) and quit from schoolD.she was suffering from a pain in her back【2】What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A.It helps young patients record songs.B.It is supported by singers and patients.C.It aims to replace the medical treatment.D.It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.【3】What does the case(实例) of a 12-year-old boy suggest?A.Most children are naturally fond of music.B.He was brave enough to put up performance.C.The project has positive effect on young patients.D.Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?A.Purple Songs Can FlyB.Singing Can Improve HealthC.A Shining Moment in LifeD.A Kind Woman—Anita Kruse四、语法填空阅读下面短文,根据下列提示:1)汉语提示,2)首字母提示,3)语境提示,在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词,并将该词完整地写在试题下方相对应的横线上。

And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood."I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie—is always all around.【1】Which of the following is NOT true about the two children?A.They were the only two child stars in the movie, Slum dog Millionaire.B.They had been having a difficult life in India.C.They were interviewed before they went back home.D.They were both excited about receiving the award.【2】What can we infer from the text?A.The two children have played in other movies before.B.Rubina may not get used to the American food.C.Rinoms’s mother also went to the Hollywood.D.They will travel to other countries before returning home.【3】What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A.They will go back to the miserable life.B.They will play in movies as famous actors.C.They will have a better education.D.They will leave school to learn acting.【4】According to the author, the value of the movie is that ________.A.it has been given an Oscar AwardB.it has made the two children famousC.its central theme has become known to the publicD.it has become popular all over the world3.At East China University of Science and Technology, students will get a coupon(优惠券)if they eat up their food. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.“It's been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”The measure is part of a national "eat-up" campaign(行动)which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average(平均).The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country. “The aim of the campa ign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it."I'm glad that we've reduced food waste since ‘eat-up’ campaign began. But if we call on students to wa ste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that the student will get a coupon____________.A.when they eat school food B.after they exchange giftsC.if they collect the waste D.if they finish all their food【2】The underlined word “motivation" in Paragraph 2 means____________ in Chinese.A.动力B.机会C.试验D.条件【3】The "eat-up" campaign is carried out on campuses because____________.A.students get a good education B.schools offer small giftsC.students waste too much food D.school food is more delicious【4】The purpose of the campaign is mainly to____________.A.improve the school food standardB.encourage a greener and healthier lifestyleC.receive attention from the societyD.further improve the service in universities4.I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China? The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was make public.

The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was hero in the Second World War. It happened that they graduated from the same school--West Point Military Academy(西点军校).One may be surprised to learn that both of them didn't do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined(punished to pay money) because he broke the rules of the school.The jobs of the U.S. presidents are tiring.

His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布) tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.When I told my parents what I wanted to do they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket ... into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”“Go away!” he shouted.“Sir,” I repeated.“Go away!” he shouted.“Why?” I asked him.He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.“Merry Christmas!” I said.“Why are you doing this?” he asked.“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold.

The bruise led to a doctor’s visit. The doctor said his daughter was suffering from leukemia (白血病).Steve said that in a moment his life changed from what restaurant he was going to take his clients (客户) to lunch to whether his daughter Katie was ever going to see her fourth birthday.For three years Katie received a lot of treatment at the Nemours Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware and with the help of wonderful doctors, kind nurses, whom Steve and his wife Michelle called heroes, Katie’s leukemia was cured (治愈).Forever changed by the experience and encouraged by the heroes at Nemours who saved his daughter’s life, Steve felt he couldn’t go back to business as usual. He felt there was something else he was meant to do and that something else led him to join the Nemours Foundation(基金会)at the age of 28. The job change came with a 65% pay cut from what he was making as a lawyer, but Steve thought he was right and it was more important to help those who need help. Steve is glad to have made such a choice.Katie is now a healthy 20-year-old college student and Steve is one of the leaders of the Nemours Foundation. In three weeks Steve will have a party for Katie’s 21st birthday, and give big thanks to the Nemours by riding his bicycle from Nemours in Jack-sonville, Florida to Wilmington, Delaware.

A program called Kids Café is helping some of these children by providing free nutritious (有营养的) snacks and meals during after-school programs.At a community (社区) center in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., children make a snack as part of their afterschool program. “The snack is very healthy for your body, but the main thing is that it tastes really, really good,” Keith Clements tells them. He runs the Kids Café program.The children are between the ages of 5 and 11 and are from several local schools. About half have parents from Ethiopia. Many of the children eat their traditional food at home. Kids Café, with food offered free by a food bank, gives them an opportunity to try different types of food.“It’s good,” says one girl. But Rebecca Nance, whose parents are from the US, is not so sure. “The taste is weird.” Her mother, Daffany Nance has two children in the program. She’s glad her kids ar e getting nutritious food. “Even in my house we don’t have much junk food,” she says, “so it’s very important that it’s healthy and continues to help them grow better.”The charity (慈善机构), Feeding America, started the national Kids Café program in 1993. The charity says more than 16 million children in the United States do not have enough healthy food to eat.Kids Café became part of the afterschool program at this community center five years ago. Lori McFail heads the afterschool program. She says some children do not eat good evening meals because their parents work late or cannot afford healthy food.

The computer of the future will continue to increase in value and performance while decreasing in cost. It will become smaller, but faster and more powerful.It is possible to make some guesses about what the future of the computer will look like, based upon the types of technologies that are being developed now. A lot of progress has already been made in some of these new technologies, but some are still in their earliest stages and may not be ready for use for years. Two of the most interesting areas of computing that are currently being developed are quantum computing (量子计算) and nanotechnology (纳米技术).Quantum computing is one possibility for the future of the computer that could make computers run far faster than even the quickest computers do today. Quantum computers could be able to do what modern supercomputers are unable to do by using transistors that are able to take on many states at the same time. Nanotechnology could also change the face of computing, by creating computers that could be very powerful, though they are tiny in size. These computers could be incorporated (并入) into everyday objects, including electrical appliances (电器), clothes and even the human body. We will be able to use computers in new and unimaginable ways. They will become a part of our lives rather than simply being a box that is used only for specific purposes, such as work.Quantum computing and nanotechnology will be able to play new roles, which will make us live greener lives, as well as enjoy better health and happier lives.【1】Which of the following can NOT describe the computer of the future properly?A.Much smaller.B.Much faster.C.More powerful.D.Less valuable.【2】According to the text, quantum computing _____.A.has been put in use so farB.can make computers run by themselvesC.can reduce the cost of computersD.will work by using transistors【3】We can learn from the text that nanotechnology will _____.A.create much smaller computersB.be used in electrical appliances and clothingC.change the structure of computersD.make computers just serve specific purposes【4】The text is mainly about _____.A.what nanotechnology isB.what quantum computing isC.what the future of the computer isD.what future computers can bring us5.This fourth of July I moved into a new house with my wife, Nicole. Nicole and I met through a series of coincidences that would be unlikely without some unbelievable force causing them to happen.The day Nicole and I met, we talked about the Yankees. In the restaurant where we sat, the first game between the Yanks and Tampa Bay was being shown on television. Nicole was happy I was a baseball fan, and she told me that was an important reason when she considered dating (约会) me. “My dad wouldn’t like me dating anyone who isn’t,” she said.Nicole’s dad, Ira, used to be a coach for the Yankees. Many years ago, a colleague (同事) of his was leaving and packing up his office. The only thing left unpacked was a photo on the wall. It was a picture of Sparky Lyle, a famous baseball player. Sparky had signed the photo on the bottom.“You’re not taking that?” Ira asked. “You want it?” his colleague offered. “Sure!” Ira said. He jumped at the chance to have a signed photo from a great player who had helped the team win two World Series.Ira told me the story after the movers had gone. He then said to me, “Adam, when I first learned who was datingmy daughter, that photo came into my mind,” he said. “But by now, I know for sure you’re meant to have it.” He then presented me with a box. I tore it open. Inside was the signed photo of Sparky Lyle which I had lost years ago.“To Adam, Best Wishes, Sparky Lyle”. It was picked up by Nicole’s dad years before I’d even met her. The perfect gift — a sign only making me believe what I already knew ... I was meant for Nicole and her family all along.【1】What does the underlined word “coincidences” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.New things.B.Important things.C.Things that happened long ago.D.Things that happened by chance.【2】A big reason why Nicole agreed to be Adam’s girlfriend was that _____.A.he was ableB.he was a baseball fanC.he got a new houseD.they had much in common【3】Ira got the photo of Sparky Lyle from _____.A.Sparky Lyle B.NicoleC.his colleague D.Adam【4】We can infer from the text that _____.A.Adam did not like the giftB.Nicole found the lost pictureC.Adam and Nicole will love each other foreverD.the picture of Sparky Lyle was first owned by Adam四、语法填空When I was in junior high school, darkness began filling my mind.

"In a digital world dominated(支配)by shallow forms of reading,Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content," he said.Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds,Lire,and Next App.The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.8. How does Bionic Reading work?______A. Users can read faster with less thinking.B. Users keep their brains much less active.C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.D. Users guess the meanings of some key words.9. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia?______A. Selecting suitable reading contents.B. Keeping up with reading contents.C. Limiting reading time.D. Reducing stress from reading.10. What can we learn about Bionic Reading?______A. It has not been put into use so far.B. It has already been fully developed.C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking.D. It helps users skip the new words in reading.11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?______A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online ReadingB. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People's BrainC. Spending Time On Online Reading Is WorthwhileD. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be ImprovedDFor Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue,N.Y.,today is speech day,and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes,he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he's nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld," a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher,Thomas Whaley,is next to him,whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some ,Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants,Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains,"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,'I don't know,but I want to know.'"Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves."Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities," Whaley says,"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."12. What made Chris nervous______A. Telling a story.B. Making a speech.C. Taking a test.D. Answering a question.13. What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to?______A. Improper pauses.B. Bad manners.C. Spelling mistakes.D. Silly jokes.14. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to ______ .A. help students see their own strengthsB. assess students' public speaking skillsC. prepare students for their future jobsD. inspire students' love for politics15. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?______A. Humorous.B. Ambitious.C. Caring.D. Demanding.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Using Healthy Cooking Methods Is Important Eating healthier meals is a big part of taking good care of yourself and your family, but eating healthier meals doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite food. (1)______Boil vegetables and meats without using any oils or fats. (2)______ . It's not only healthier than using lots of fats, but also it keeps the nutrients(营养素)of the foods. All you need to boil food is a large pot, water, and a little bit of salt. Carrots, cabbages, potatoes, chicken and beef are just a few choices for food you can boil.Steam vegetables and fish to keep all the nutrients unbroken. You can place a steaming basket over a pot of boiling water and place them in the steamer basket to contain all the juices. Simply bring a pot of water to boil. (3)______ . Add your food to the basket. Add some salt or lemon juice to your steamed vegetables or fish for some extra flavor.(4)______ . Barbecue is great from a certain point of view because it makes your meat soft and tasty while also letting the fat drip away from it, which is healthier for you. It also passes on a nice flavor to meats and vegetable.

Long ago,there was a merchant in the village whose only son was born in his forties.The son's name was Chandra which stands for "wish fulfilled".Then Chandra became a young man who never lacked anything in life,so his outlook towards lifewas very different from his hardworking father.Obviously,Chandra didn't know the importance of fruits from hard work.Even after the merchant asked his son to join his business and work with him,his son would never go to work.The father decided that he himself would teach Chandra a lesson.He called his son and all family members in center hall of his home.Then he said to Chandra seriously,"You have not contributed to my business at all and from now on you will be given food in this house only when you can give money for that food." And he reminded all family members not to help Chandra or offer him any food without money.Some family members didn't like the merchant's decision.But the merchant was determined for the sake of his son's future.The first day Chandra turned to one of his family members for money and gave that money to his father to get food.In their house there was a well.When Chandra told his father that he had brought money for food,the merchant asked him to throw that money in the well.Chandra found it strange but still he threw that money in the well without hesitation and happily ate his food.Then the merchant learnt what happened.He clearly forbade everyone to provide Chandra with money or food.Now Chandra had no one to turn to.Chandra was going from place to place to ask for money.One old man in the village saw this.He stopped Chandra and asked him what happened.Chandra told him,"I need some money."注意:1.续写词数为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。

1. A Chinese MasterZhang Daqian, born in 1899 in Sichuan Province, was one of China's most brilliant and popular artists. Not only was he extremely productive﹣it is said that he created an averageof 500 paintings a year﹣but he was also able to master a variety of painting styles, ranging from detailed portraits(人像) to expressive landscapes.Born into an artistic family, Zhang Daqian was first taught how to paint by his mother and siblings. He also travelled in a widespread way, improving his craft: from learning colouring techniques in Japan to studying Buddhist mural(墙壁的) paintings in Dunhuang. However, traditional Chinese painting remained one of the great passions of his life, and he always considered himself part of that tradition.A Spanish PioneerPablo Picasso was one of the most influential European artists of the first half of the 20th century. He pioneered Cubism(立体主义) and also influenced Symbolism and Surrealism. He was a painter and a sculptor who moved between many diverse styles.Picasso was born in 1881, into a creative family in the Spanish city of Malaga. His father was a painter and he encouraged and taught young Pablo. Picasso's mother famously claimed that his first word was "pencil". When he was young, his family would visit Madrid to see works by the old Spanish masters.________In 1956, Zhang Daqian visited Picasso at his home in Nice, France. It is said that the two artists admired each other. At that meeting, they gave each other some artworks. Picasso gave Zhang 600 works in total, all of which were his imitations of Chinese paintings. He asked Zhang to teach him how to draw bamboo. Following this meeting, the two artists became friends and exchanged letters after Zhang's return to China.The two artists had more in common than mutual admiration. Both were incredibly diverse in their styles, much admired, influential and very productive. In 2011, Zhang Daqian pushed his friend Picasso off the top of the list of best﹣selling artists in the world.(1)Why was Zhangdaqian considered as a master?________A He gained much knowledge of detailed portraits.B He created over 500 paintings in his life.C He had a good command of landscapes.D He mastered a variety of painting styles..(2)Why did Zhang Daqian travel to different places?________A To enjoy the beautiful landscape.B To develop his painting skills.C To learn colouring techniques.D To study Buddhist mural paintings..(3)What style of painting did Pablo Picasso first develop?________A Symbolism.B Cubism.C Surrealism.D Impressionism..(4)Which of the following best describes the two artists?________A Modest.B Considerate.C Productive.D Flexible..(5)What does the underlined subtitle "East Meets West" mean?________A Art has no border.B Art reflects reality.C Art creates atmosphere.D Art conveys emotion..2. People across Western Europe are experiencing a heat wave this week, with the worst still to come on Thursday. Officials sounded high﹣temperature health warnings on Wednesday, mindful that some heat waves before had caused thousands of deaths across an area where people are not used to such weather and few homes have air conditioning.Rene Pierron, 51, a street cleaner at Paris City Hall, was not lucky, and said it was difficult to work outdoors under such conditions. "The buildings and roads here take the heat in during the day and act like radiators (散热器)﹣it's unbearable, " he said while taking a break near the Avenue des Champs﹣Elysees.Kate Simmonds, also 51, who works in a restaurant in central London, could commiserate (同情)."It's so hot﹣we can't work like this, " she said on Wednesday. But she said business was good this week, with plenty of people buying cold drinks and ice cream. Nation after nation have given health﹣related warning for people becoming tired and weak in the heat. Belgium gave its highest warning since its weather warning system was put in place 20 years ago, and Germany placed the whole country under a heat warning.Britain's weather service, the Met Office, placed five of England's nine areas, including London, on a "Level Three" heat health watch, one level short of a national emergency.Liz Bentley, the chief executive of Britain's Royal Meteorological Society, warned: "While a country like Britain is not used to heat waves, they could become more common because of the changing climate. If you live in a Mediterranean(地中海) country, the population adapts to these temperatures. But we'll see the number of deaths go up in the next coming days."(1)What did Rene Pierron think of the weather?________A It created some business chances.B It made his work more difficult.C It might cause people to die.D It would end sooner or later..(2)How did Germany deal with the heat wave?________A It provided air conditioning for poor people.B It suggested people stay away from work.C It has carried out many helpful actions.D It warned the whole country of the heat..(3)On which level is a heat national emergency in Britain?________A Two.B Three.C Four.D Five..(4)Which of the following did Liz Bentley agree with?________A Such weather will appear less frequently.B The danger of the weather have been gradually realized.C People from Mediterranean countries adjust to theweather. D Fewer people from Britain have been influenced by the weather..(5)Which of the following can be the best title for the text?________A Heat Wave Spreads across Western EuropeB Heat Wave Makes Things Bad for Human BeingsC Europe Tries to Find Ways to Deal with Heat WaveD Heat Wave Reminds People to Protect the Environment.3. Fertile Sichuan has long been one of China's major tea﹣ producing regions. Chengdu had been noted for its teahouses by the Tang dynasty﹣as early as the ninth century. For centuries, teahouses were places for entertainment as well as tea, with performances of storytelling, music, and Sichuan opera in particular. That is a fading art these days, but Yuelai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theater still hosts opera every Saturday afternoon.You will find most of Chengdu's old﹣school teahouses in parks and temple compounds (大院). Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park buzzes with morning retirees, lunchtime office workers, and afternoon visitors. All of them sit under red lanterns by a lotus pond. When the loud confused noise gets too much, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park.________ are older and quieter. They bring songbirds on outings, hanging their cages in the branches of willow trees, and play mahjong in a pavilion covered with moss. In more recent years, however, increasingly elaborate(精致的) teahouses have opened to appeal to the younger generation. They tend to have a taste for superior teas in a more contemporary style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city's most fashionable retail(零售) district.As in all teahouses, the tea comes in individual packets with a thermos of water. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, south of Chengdu, is the traditional favorite. Shake the loose leaves into your palm﹣sized cup. The cup usually comes with a saucer and a lid that both functions to strain surface﹣floating leaves and to keep the tea warm. Don't let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bitterness from the tea leaves is concentrated at the bottom. You can top up your tea all afternoon and needn't buy anything else.(1)What aspects of Chengdu's teahouses does the first paragraph mainly focus on?________A Art & history.B Art & popularity.C Function & popularity.D History & function..(2)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "regulars" underlined in Paragraph 2?________A Tourists.B Owners.C Customers.D Waiters..(3)Which of the following teahouses would be your best choice if you wished to be left in peace for a while?________A Yuelai Teahouse.B Mi Xun Teahouse.C Heming Teahouse.D Shaocheng Teahouse..(4)What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?________A Some useful tips for readers who want to visit Chengdu's teahouses.B Some interesting facts the author found in books on Chengdu's teahouses.C Some painfullessons the author learned from his trip to Chengdu's teahouses. D Some basic rules readers have to follow if they want to visit Chengdu's teahouses..(5)What is the purpose of the text?________A To experience Chengdu's everyday life.B To introduce Chengdu's teahouseculture. C To stress the advantages of a slower pace. D To inspire readers to travel to Sichuang..第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解1.Monthly active users of WeChat, a popular social networking App run by Internet Tencent Holdings Ltd, rose to 889 million last year, up 28 percent year-on-year, according to a report on Thursday.The report said the number of active WeChat users last year helped directly drive 174.3 billion yuan of information-sector(信息产业)spending, an increase of 26.2 percent on the previous year.The government has urged to expand consumption to create new sources(来源)of economic growth and to help drive industry upgrading.The report added that the popular message App, which provides a wide range of services, created jobs for 18.81 million people in 2016, up 7.7 percent year-on-year.It found that the percentage of older WeChat users gradually increasing. Those aged over 55 using voice messages accounted for 22 percent of the total, while their average length of time spent on audio and video calling service reached 82 minutes, higher than other groups of users.The report also found that WeChat has quickened the transmission(传送) of information, changed people’s paying habits because they only need to take their mobile phones when going out to shop, and create the channels with which people get information.Ma Shicong, an analyst at Beijing-based Internet Consultancy Analysis, said: “WeChat has accumulated a large number of faithful users by providing various services, from instant messaging, information to mobile payments. WeChat helps make lives easier and more convenient.”The report also showed the WeChat official accounts were favored by users, with 36.1 percent of them following or subscribing to accounts related to in news and information.【1】What’s the desire of the government according to the text?A.To expand consumption.B.To create more jobs.C.To support WeChat App.D.To balance spending.【2】Who uses voice messages most frequently?A.The youths.B.The analysts.C.Shop owners.D.The aged.【3】How does WeChat win its faithful users?A.By subscribing to the official accounts.B.By creating mobile payments.C.By offering varieties of services.D.By sending in news and information.2.In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey(调查) of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have beenbywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children."Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity(繁荣) hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."【1】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Big holidays.B.Time-honored brands.C.The respondents.D.The older generations.【2】What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals?A.He runs several shops selling traditional goods.B.He shops traditional brands for his family.C.He misses the things of the past very much.D.He buys various sweeties and drinks.【3】What can be learned about the time-honored brands?A.They are not trusted in quality and competition.B.Many disappeared and never made comebacks.C.They enjoy a long time of popularity.D.They are the childhood stories of the aged.【4】What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going?A.China’s prosperity.B.Historic influence.C.Certain rare natural ingredients.D.Bywords for older generations.3.Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting and great fun? Certainly, it isa new experience, one that brings the opportunity(机会) to discover amazing things and a feeling of freedom. But do remember that there are also some challenges you will meet, for your views may disagree with the different beliefs, norms(社会准则), values and traditions of different countries. This is called “culture shock”. The following are the stages of adjusting.T he first stage is called ”the honeymoon”, where you are excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fantastic.Eventually, however, the second stage of culture shock appears, “the hostility stage”. You begin to notice that not everything that seemed so wonderful initially is now awful, making you feel distressed and tired. Usually at this point, you use some defense mechanisms(机制) to help you cope(应付) and to protect yourself against the effects of culture shock. Two of them are “repression”, which happens when you pretend that everything is acceptable and that nothing bothers you, and “regression”, when you start to act like a child, sometimes careless and irresponsible. The third kind is “isolation”. You don’t want to communicate w ith anybody, cutting yourself off the world. The last type is “rejection”, where you think you don’t need anybody, feeling you are coping fine alone. After you deal with your hostile feelings, next comes the stage, “recovery”, when you begin to see things of a different culture you can learn to appreciate.The last stage is “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you are able to understand the new culture.Culture shock is not something you can avoid in a foreign country. Actually, you learn how to interact with otherpeople, and you learn a considerable amount about life in a new culture. Eventually, you learn more-about yourself.【1】How many stages of culture shock does the text mention?A.4.B.6.C.7.D.8.【2】Which mechanism does a person apply if he pretends to accept everything in a new culture? A.Repression.B.Regression.C.Isolation.D.Rejection.【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards culture shock?A.Serious.B.Positive.C.Cautious.D.Scared.【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A New ExperienceB.Stages of adjustmentC.Culture ShockD.Defense Mechanisms4.Kitchen waste refers to deserted or uneaten refuse produced by household kitchens. It is heavy in weight and can not easily be disposed(处理)of like other garbage due to dampness.Separating kitchen waste from other waste can help to reduce organic matter in landfills, reducing smell and waste liquid and protecting disposal equipment. It is therefore necessary to perform garbage classification when disposing of kitchen waste.There are special garbage trucks to process kitchen waste. Labeled “Kitchen Waste”, the beds of the trucks are covered in a hermetic(密封的) metal topper to contain the smell of the rotting organic waste. There are two sizes of the trucks—the smaller ones are designed to move through narrow streets, especially in the old-fashioned hutong, the larger ones are for wider streets.Everyday, they stop at the residential(居住的) communities in Xicheng district, pick up their kitchen waste and carry it to the kitchen waste transfer buildings nearby. And Fengrongyuan residential community is one of them. It has 10 residential buildings and 606 families. In the afternoon. Two garbage trucks arrive at the community to collect its kitchen waste. The community now has 31 sets of garbage cans. Every set has three cans in different colors, green for kitchen waste, blue for recyclable waste and grey for other garbage.Yang Kun, an official of Financial Street office, said that if residents in the community can respect the waste regulations and make it a standard practice in their daily life, they could be rewarded for their efforts.After the two trucks are loaded with kitchen waste at Fengronfyuan, they will leave for the Xibianmen garbage storage building, where they are weighed before driving to an area to unload. The building has six big boxes to contain the kitchen waste.To save resources and promote the disposal of household waste, the first step is garbage classification as conducted by residents.【1】What can be learned about kitchen waste from Paragraph1?A.It is too damp and heavy to easily dispose of.B.It can be as easily disposed of as other garbage.C.It helps to reduce organic matter in landfills.D.It is necessary for garbage classification.【2】What is needed to prevent the organic waste letting out smell?A.Trucks with a hermetic metal popper.B.Trucks labeled “Kitchen Waste”.C.Wider streets for garbage trucks.D.Waste transfer buildings nearby.【3】Where is the kitchen waste weighed before being unloaded?A.Old-fashion hutong.B.Xicheng district.C.Fengrongyuan residential community.D.The Xibianmen garbage storage building.【4】What’s the main idea of the text?A.Kitchen waste does harm to the disposal equipment.B.It’s a practice to respect the waste sorting regulations.C.The disposal of kitchen waste is aimed to save resources.D.The disposal of household waste begins with garbage classification.二、其他How to Draw a Mind MapMind mapping relates to writing down a central idea and thinking up new and relevant ideas which radiate out from the center.Look for relationshipsUse lines, colors, arrows, branches or other ways of showing connections between ideas on your mind map.【1】. Personalizing the map with your own symbols and designs will assist in your recall and understanding.【2】All of these things promote linear(线性的)thinking while the idea of mind mapping is to think creatively andin anon-linear manner. There will be plenty of time for polishing the information later on. But at this stage, the most important thing is to get every possibility into the mind map that may be the key to your knowledge of a topic.Write down key ideasSome students find that using capital letters encourages them to get down only the key points.【3】.You may, however, wish to write down some explanatory notes in lower cases. Some students do this when they revisit the mind map at a later date while others write such things as assessment criteria in this way. Put the main idea in the centerMost students find it useful to turn their page on the side and do a mind map in “landscape” style. They put the main idea or topic in the middle of the page.【4】.Leave lots of space【5】.After the initial drawing of the mind map you may wish to highlight things, add related information or questions right up.A.Capitals are also easier to read in a diagramB.Make a list all your ideas you needC.This helps them assess the related informationD.Draw quickly without pausing, judging or editingE.This gives the maximum space for other ideas to radiateF.Some most useful mind maps are those adds over a period of timeG.These relationships may be important in understanding new information三、完形填空For over 30 years my father has been serving as a senior minister in several churches.

福建高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名:___________ 分数:___________一、阅读理解1.No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation”(解读) of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. But those who do teach poetry must keep in minda few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.【1】To have a better understanding of a poem, one should________.A.discuss it with others B.analyze it by oneselfC.copy it down in a notebook D.practise reading it aloud【2】According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students________.A.to understand life.B.to enjoy poetry.C.to become teachers.D.to become poets【3】What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A.More importance should be attached to the teaching of poetry.B.Poetry is more important than any other subject.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetryD.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses2.There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believ e that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight --- I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habitsof eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). If fact, although fat people consume more energy that slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do Yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gain.Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but when your body adapts to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.【1】What does the author think about being fat?A.It is the family genes that make people fat.B.People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.D.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.【2】According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A.By taking varied exercise.B.By choosing simple exercise.C.By doing regular exercise.D.By sticking to outdoor exercise.【3】What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.B.Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.C.Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D.Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.【4】What is the purpose of the passage?A.To argue the importance of keeping fit.B.To prove some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.C.To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D.To inform readers of some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise.3.In recent years some extreme weather events have arisen from global warming because of human activities, with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future. Scientists were certain that global warming is being caused mostly by increasing concentrations ofgreenhouse gasesand otherhumanactivities.Its effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels and expansion of deserts in the subtropics(亚热带). Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing loss of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall with floods, heavy snowfall and species extinction due to great change of temperature. Bad effects on humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of populated(住人的) areas because of rising sea levels.Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放), adaptation to its effects, building systems resilient to its effects, and possible future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC), whose objective is to prevent dangerous climate change. It has adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. It is agreed that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.On 12 November 2015, NASA scientists reported that human-made carbon dioxide continues to increase above levels that have not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years: currently, about half of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere and is not absorbed by vegetation and the oceans.【1】What does the underlined word “resilient” mean?A.be easily damaged B.be able to recover easilyC.can be bent easily D.be difficult to change【2】Which of following is NOT mentioned as an effect of global warming?A.rising sea levelsand expansion of desertsB.more frequent extreme weather eventsC.species extinctionD.increasing crop yields【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. It is likely for us to deal with global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to its effects and climate engineering.B. There is no solution to too much carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.C. It is common that human-made carbon dioxide keeps on increasing greatly in the previous several centuries.D. Future global warming should be limited to below 3.6 °C.二、其他阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological(心理的) first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed a way unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t want to disturb this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others’ presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.【1】Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A.He built shelters for them.B.He came to stay with them.C.He gave immediate first aid to them.D.He brought mental health professionals.【2】What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away?A.He decided not to disturb.B.He went to his friends’ at once.C.He knew what to do instantly.D.He hesitated over whether to go.【3】What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Heavy but warm.B.A little sad but comfortable.C.Relaxing and delightful.D.Very serious and unhappy.【4】What has the author learned from his experience?A.Being present can make a big difference.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.D.Being a volunteer can make one’s life more significant.3.It’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to adjust its core temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise. Heart attacks, stroke, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust(尾气), and go early in the morning before rush hour. But staying inside onsmoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.【1】How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B.They can take in more calories.C.Their hearts can function harder.D.Their body temperature can get lower.【2】How does summer affect runners?A.It builds up their energy quickly.B.It makes runners tired easily.C.It lessens runners’ stress.D.It causes heart attack.【3】What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A.Stop driving cars.B.Do more exercise.C.Avoid outdoor exercise.D.Run late in the morning.4.Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird(怪异的),” says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges (徽章) with the words “Tube chat?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says. Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Dunne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.【1】In what way did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?A.By putting up posters on the tube.B.By offering passengers special badges.C.By advocating his idea on the media.D.By starting a dialogue with passengers.【2】How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?A.Most passengers have refused to accept it.B.It has become a worldwide campaign.C.It has caught international attention.D.Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.【3】According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?A.Hand in their feedback in time.B.Walk up and talk to strangers.C.Stop using public transport.D.Enjoy the peace quietly.【4】What can be the best title for the text?A.Tube Chat or NotB.Lonely Travel in the London TubeC.Silence on the TubeD.Tube Passengers Wearing Badges二、其他Everyone makes mistakes. 【1】. Making a mistake at work, however, can be more serious. It may cause problems for your employer and even affect the company’s bottom line. Evil consequences will finally come down to you. Simply correcting your mistake and moving on may not be an option. When you make a mistake at work, your career may depend on what you do next.Admit your mistake.Tell your boss about your mistake immediately. The only exception is that you make an insignificant error that will not affect anyone. Otherwise, don’t try to hide your mistake.【2】.Present your boss with a plan to fix your mistake.When you go to your boss to admit your mistake, you must have a plan for correcting it. Present your plan clearly. Tell your boss how long it will take to carry out your plan and if there are any costs involved.Don’t blame anyone else for your mistake.【3】. Encourage those who may share responsibility to follow your lead in admitting to your boss.【4】.There’s a big difference between admitting your mistake and beating yourse lf up about it. Take responsibilitybut don’t blame yourself for making it, especially in public.Correct your mistake on your own time.If you have to spend extra hours at work to correct your mistake, don’t expect to be paid for that time.【5】.A.You can use your lunch hour or come into work earlyB.You will look terrible if someone else discovers itC.Apologize for your mistake but don’t beat yourself upD.Pointing fingers won’t help you if you make a mistakeE. Strengthen your friendship with your bossF. You’ll feel ashamed if your colleague takes the responsibility for youG.

I looked at the flowers, not knowing 41 to say, and then answered, “I see something soft and 42 , grandpa.”He pulled me 43 . “It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy.

Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影响) on the world of music .Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said,” Jazz and I grew up together.”Armstrong showed a great talent (天赋) for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a b oy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong began. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz styl e (风格) and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.【1】Armstrong was called Pops because he _______________.A.looked like a musician B.traveled to play modern musicC.showed an interest in music D.was a musician of much influence【2】The third paragraph is developed ________________.A.by time B.by examples C.by space D.by comparison 【3】Which statement about Armstrong is true?A.His tale began in New Orleans.B.His music was popular with his listeners.C.He was born before jazz was invented.D.He learned popular music at a boy’s home.【4】Which would be the best title for the text?A.The Father of the Jazz Style B.The Making of a MusicianC.The Spread of Popular Music D.The Invention of the Jazz Music2.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);Someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter— a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors(祖先) of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.【1】Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A.Places where people lived.B.People’s occupations.C.Talents that people possessed.D.People’s characters.【2】According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A.owned or drove a cartB.made things with metalsC.built houses and furnitureD.made kitchen tools or contains【3】Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A.Donald Greenwood B.Leonard CarterC.George Longstreet D.Beatrice Smith【4】The underlined wor d “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _______.A.later sponsors B.later generationsC.friends and relatives D.colleagues and partners3.Winners Club---You choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

Linking to each other both literally and figuratively, many of us connect through cell phones, email, instant messaging, blogs, and networking web sites, yet we may be less connected to each other than we think.According to a study, Americans are becoming increasingly socially isolated(孤立的). The study suggests, for example, that one quarter of Americans say that they have no one to discuss important personal issues with, and that the number of close friends that Americans have has dropped from three to two. Meanwhile, the Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less education, people of color, and older Americans. Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well educated tend to have stronger social networks.From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends, family, and colleagues. One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group who lives hundreds of miles away from me. We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular electronic correspondence and cell phone calls maintain our close friendship. And, speaking of blogging, my blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important friendships. On the other hand, I recently saw a scene unfold that proved to me how deeply disconnected we as Americans have become. I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy (治疗) center.As I was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family therapist. After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began loud conversations with whoever was on the other end. I walked out behind them to the parking lot to my car. They both jumped into their cars, and, as I saw them drive off, they were still talking on their cell phones but not to each other.【1】What does the passage lead you to believe?A.Americans are more socially isolated today.B.Americans are more socially connected today.C.Americans don’t make good use of technology.D.Technology plays a bigger role in American society.【2】Which of the following has nothing to do with the isolation among Americans?A.Sex.B.Education.C.Skin color.D.Age.【3】What is true about the mother and son in the passage?A.They came for therapy in the same car.B.They were quite close to each other.C.There was not much communication between them.D.They preferred talking to each other on cell phones.【4】What can we learn from the passage?A.The writer is totally against the modern technology.B.The mother and the son have finished their family therapist and get a better relationship.C.As far as the writer is concerned, he has benefited a lot from the modern technology.D.Those black and well-educated people have stronger social network than aged white people.5.April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons(视野)and raise their self-confidence.For many years p eople have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in north of London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. "I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial." she said.Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's really strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and tel ling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.【1】The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to ______.A.tell how the special day for girls came into be.B.show us the girls can do as well as boys.C.introduce a special day for girls to us.D.broaden girls’ view and raise their confidence.【2】According to the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, ______.A.girls can do as well as boys in any field.B.girls need more opportunities in society compared to boys.C.girls will follow their parents’ jobs after watching them work.D.girls will be more confident than boys due to the special day.【3】A particular mention of Zarina’s story ______.A.tells what a woman lawyer’s dai ly work is likeB.serves as an example of how the Day works.C.shows a successful mother’s effect on the daughter.D.explains why a girl should go to see mum's office rather than dad.【4】In the text the writer especially suggests the importance of ______.A.parents’ job.B.support from society.C.understanding of the parents.D.girls’ self-confidence.四、其他1.完成下列句子。

Some of them do not trouble people and can even add beauty to the natural environment. Other insects can harm the environment or humans. The population of these insects seems to stay large and healthy.But scientists say this does not appear to be true for some flying insects that serve an important purpose. There is growing evidence that these insects are decreasing across the world.One researcher looking into the present insect population is Doug Tallamy, a professor at the University of Delaware. He remembers walking through Washington D. C., in the past when it was "alive with insects, especially butterflies". Now, he said, "The flying insects are actually gone." Wilson said this point seemed to be proved during a drive he made last year from Boston to Vermont. He was surprised that, during his trip, he counted only one insect that had hit the car's front window. Several other scientists have carried out similar tests by checking how many insects hit their cars while traveling.While researchers admit this method is not scientific, they say it can still help them understand the changing flying insect population. There have not been many studies done on the flying insect populations covering large areas. However, some international research suggests a downward turn. In 2006, a group of studies showed that there had been a 14-percent drop in ladybugs(瓢虫) in the United States and Canada from 1987 to 2006. In Germany, a 2017 study found an 82-percent drop in the number of flying insects compared to levels recorded in 1990.After the German study, other countries also started looking into the problem. David Wagner of the University of Connecticut says other evidence leads him to believe the findings of the 2017 study are "clearly not a German thing".(1)The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _________.A. The insects cause trouble to people.B. The insects harm the environment.C. The insects are numerous and healthy.D. The insects love staying indoors.(2)How does Wilson try to prove the flying insects are gone?A. By making some comparisons.B. By using his personal experience.C. By listing research results.D. By studying the causes.(3)What does David Wagner think of the 2017 German study?A. He considers the study isn't done in German ways.B. He thinks it's less believable than other evidence.C. He considers the German study is a good start.D. He thinks other places also have the problem.(4)In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A. Nature.B. Education.C. Entertainment.D. Health.参考答案:(1)C(2)B(3)D(4)A【考点】推理判断题,细节理解题,科普环保类,说明文【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一些”好“的昆虫的消失。

A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her She had raised her eyebrows, which in Micronesia means "yes".Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do, you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing~ He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is fromto understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".24. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.A. should go abroad for vacationsB. needed to learn foreign languagesC. should often discuss their experiencesD. had problems with communications25. Tom misunderstood his class at first because ______.A. he did not know much about Indian cultureB. he didn't explain everything clearly enoughC. some students didn't understand his questionsD. he didn't know where the students came from26. Which of the following is TRUE according to(根据) this passage?A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means no.B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island.C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage.D. In India, only shaking heads means "YES".27. The passage is mainly about _____.A. body language in foreign restaurantsB. class discussion in Indian schoolsC. miscommunication in different culturesD. English teaching in other countries\CNot long ago, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕的) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (设备) in the mouth of the new born baby. The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story againand again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity (体恤) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression (抑郁).The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people. The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children. Children did better when their mothers were caring, even when they suffered from depression.28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the factor that influences intelligence development in babies?A. The environment.B. Mother’s sensitivity.C. Their movement.D.

These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passingcar lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy " would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.32.
