I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money fo r my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.【1】Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.【2】Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A．ended all their programs B．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercials D．showed all-night movies【3】How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.【4】How does the author sound when telling the story?A．Curious B．AnxiousC．Cautious D．Humorous2.More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left overto Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.【1】What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A．It is flexible in length.B．It is a time for relaxationC．It is increasingly popularD．It is required by universities【2】According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.A．are better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities【3】How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A．He’s puzzled B．He’s worriedC．He’s surprised D．He’s annoyed【4】What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A．Attend additional courses.B．Make plans for the new termC．Earn money for their educationD．Prepare for their graduate studies3.Choose Your One-Day-Tours!Tour A - Bath &Stonehenge: including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge -￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum, Stonehenge is one of the world's most famous prehistoric monuments dating back over 5,000 years.Tour B - Oxford & Stratford including entrance fees to the University St Mary's Church Tower and Anne Hathaway's -￡32 until 12 March and ￡36 thereafter.Oxford: Includes a guided tour of England's oldest university city and colleges.

辽宁省2021-2022高二英语上学期月考试题命题范围：外研版高中英语选修七和选修八考试时间：100分钟试卷满分：120分本试卷分第I卷（客观题）和第II卷（主观题）两部分第I卷第一部分听力（略）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)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading othersigns. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me som e more coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French.I meant that I would like some more. However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘No, thank you.’21.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car22.“NO VACANCIES” in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays23.If you see a road sign that says ‘Diversion’, you will ______.A. fall into a holeB. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselfC. have to take a different roadD. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people24.When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French,I ______.A didn’t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. hadn’t finished drinking my coffeeD. really wanted some more c offeeB(A) For SaleChinese-made bicycle Good conditionZhang Ying 306, dormitory(寝室)4(B) Needed25-year-old woman 900 yuan a month speak good EnglishLan Fleming 422-389506(C) Roommate WantedMale---English native(本地的) speaker wanted to share A 2-bedroom apartment near campus, washer, dryer, kitchenCall Li Ming, 228-940605Any evening after 5(D) LostBlack briefcase (公文包) with 3 books on physicsCall: John Smith 843-316065(E)Wanted to RentOne-bedroom apartment from Feb.1 through June, better near campusCall Robert Waller 843-429065(F) FoundBrown briefcase with some moneySee: Joseph Hofman in Chemistry Dept (系)25.

Robert Waller wishes to rent a room _____________ .A. near the schoolB. far away from the schoolC. inside the schoolD. outside the cityCAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been shown that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(维生素) to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a sweet smell was added to the vitamins – enriched water, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were changed to the clear water. In time（最后）, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In classic experiments, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a room, with a wide choice of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to choose a well –balanced diet.So in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Obviously, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lo se. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by old habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how many they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going around them.29．In the experiment on rats, a sweet smell was added to the rats’ drinking water to ______.A．encourage rats to drink vitamins – enriched waterB．find out rats’ preference in flavour(口味)C．test whether rats know which drink is good for themD．show the vitamins are tasteless30．Talking about their eating habits , babies and rats are similar in that ______.A．both prefer flavoured food and drinkB．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietC．both have the same eating patternsD．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavours31．In the classic experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were ______. A．provided with various kinds of baby food B．given many choices of drinks C．placed and fed in a cafeteria D．trained to select a balanced diet 32．According to the passage, adults’ eating habits differ from those of babies because ______.A．adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their health B．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods.C．adults’ eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs D．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsDWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better;sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy —emotional response.33. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesn’t give the reason.34. It can be inferred from the text that ______.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. crying does more good to health than laughingC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health35. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD. A New Scientific Discovery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。

He told her not to open it until her birthday. She knew her mother wou ldn’t tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki’s father passed away; besides, Vicki didn’t want Uncle Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn’t want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll.All the day, Vicki couldn’t stop thinking about the gift while her teacher was giving a lecture. Vicki sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home. Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to leave it alone?” Vicki sobbed and said, “Mommy, you don’t understand.”“Don’t cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn’t wait,” Mrs. Black accused. “What will Uncle Tom think now?”“Uncle Tom gave me nothing,” Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. “He played a trick on me.”Mrs. Black said doubtfully, “Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it.”Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He looked at the empty box. “You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday.”“You didn’t give me a gift.” Fresh tears filled her eyes.“I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson. If you open it on birthday, I see you learn.

It is also one of the most visited places in the world. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.Th e bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait, which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific OceanPlanning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries. Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934.Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes. A special safety net was suspended under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water. The total length is 2737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.【1】What was the Golden Gate Bridge named after?A．The Strait it crosses B．The color of a paintC．The local climate D．Its natural surroundings【2】How did people cross the Golden Gate Strait before the bridge was built?A．By plane.B．By train.C．By road.D．By boat.【3】Why was a special safety net suspended under the bridge?A．Because it can protect the environmentB．Because it can prevent workers from fallingC．Because it can make construction easierD．Because it can save building materials from falling【4】What do we know about Joseph Strauss?A．He built the first suspension bridge in the world.B．His safety measures were not of practical value.C．He attached importance to the workers' safety.D．He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.4.A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood wi th pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger c onversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.In keep with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Y asunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.【1】The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.A．fear B．boredomC．excitement D．sleepiness【2】According to the text, Pod can ___________.A．rank the restaurant nearby B．test the driver’s driving skillsC．have a conversation with drivers D．recommend a song to passenger【3】If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.A．the Led panel turns redB．the tail rises at the back of the carC．the front light turn blue and look like tearsD．the car stops and shake with loud music【4】What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Pessimistic.D．Tolerant.二、信息匹配Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing. 【1】 Read on for some techniques worth trying.1.【2】People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.【3】Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.2. Go for a walkMildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.【4】3. Learn something newTake a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.【5】Or go dancing with your friends.A．Focus on the future.B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.C．It should be something like learning gardening.D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.三、完形填空Columbus returned home with the news of his discovery of “Indian” as Columbu s called it.

2018——2019学年度下高二5月份联考英语试题第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIf you’re still pressing a switch to turn your lights on and off, you’re a bit behind the times. As the rest of your home gets smarter, why shouldn’t your lights? The smart light switch can let you turn your lights on and off from almost anywhere with your smart phone.Lutron CasetaThe Lutron Caseta comes with a convenient remote control and combines perfectly with most major smart home services. It is an all-around option. Whether your device is Apple HomeKit, Amazon Echo, Google Home, Nest, or IFTTT, you can use the Lutron Caseta fluently, which makes it stand out from its competitors.WeMo Smart SwitchThe WeMo smart switch can be used to control the brightness in a room just by running your finger in the center of the switch. What makes it stand out, though, is its Long Press feature, which allows you to start another smart device by holding the switch for two seconds. For example, you can link it to your robot cleaner, which will start cleaning after you press the button.TP—LINK KasaLike other smart models, the TP—Link Kasa is equipped with plenty of practical features, including timers and voice controls from Amazon Alexa or Google Home. It has an “Away Mode”that randomly turns the lights off and on to give the false idea that you are at home when you’re not, to prevent potential thieves. All in all, it’s an affordable and reliable option you’ll love. Philips Hue Smart Dinner(调光器) SwitchThe Hue allows you dim your bulbs, set schedules, and control the lights with your voice. Best of all, it offers incredibly easy installation—with no wiring necessary.21. Compared with its competitors, the Lutron Caseta ______________.A. can apply to many kinds of devicesB. can just be used to control lightsC. has a price advantageD. is easy to install22. The “Away Mode” of the TP—LINK Kasa is intended to _____________>A. be equipped with more practical featuresB. guard the house against possible burglarC. turn the lights off and on when you are awayD. control an app remotely23. What’s the writing purpose of the text?A. To ask people to catch up with times.B. To advise some smart light switches.C. To introduce a new lifestyle.D. To compare some smart light switches.BScientists in Mexico say they may have found a way to cut the production of methane, a gas linked to rising temperatures on the Earth’s surface. The scientists say their method may help reduce the methane released by cows, one of the main producers of the gas.When talking about global warming, many people think of carbon dioxide, another heat-trapping gas. Methane is an even more powerful heat-trapping gas. Cows are known to produce high levels of methane when they eat and process food.Researchers at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico are studying how a cow’s diet affects the production of methane. The researchers are using a specially designed machine to measure the effect. The scientists use the machine to try to capture the animal’s breathing to examine the methane released.Most of the gas is released when cows belch. The digestive bacteria in a cow’s stomach causes the animal to send out the gas through its mouth. There are an estimated 1.3 to 1.5 billion cows in the world. Each animal releases as much as 120 kilograms of methane per year. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that, whenever measured in pounds, the effect of methane on climate change is more than 25 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.As it is difficult to capture the gas released by cows for use as energy, one way to lessen its release is to change their diet. Scientists in some countries are looking for ways to decrease cow methane. But while they are trying different plants and chemical compounds, those products would be too costly and difficult to bring to Mexico.24.How harmful is the gas sent off by cows?A.It is more difficult to control its amount.B.It takes up most of human-caused methane.C.It is the key factor to prevent globe warming.D.It is more harmful than carbon dioxide.25.How is the harmful gas produced by cows?A.When they digest food in their stomachs.B.When their gas meets with air.C.When their gas is being sent out.D.When they breathe in air through mouths.26.What can scientists in some countries do to settle the problem caused by cows?A.Limit the number of cows.B.Change what they eat.C.Fix machines on their mouths.e their gases as energy.27.What may be the best title for the text?A.We Had a Better Method of Raising CowsB.Cows Are Much More Harmful than CarsC.Researchers Found a Way to Reduce Methane from cowsD.Two Gases Are Causing the Warming of the PlanetCMany people have excuses for not learning a foreign language. One of the common ones is that they don’t have a gift for language learning. The excuse that one has no talent for learning a certain skill is a tragedy in itself, and this common excuse has possibly discouraged millions of people from accomplishing great things.Many experts and scholars, such as K. Ander Ericsson, one of the world’s leading theoretical(理论的) and experimental researchers, have proposed the theory that skill is mostly a matter of large amounts of deliberate practice. Books such as The Talent Code have helped popularize it. While I do not personally believe that we all learn at the same pace or that we are all born the same, I certainly believe that we can all achieve amazing results beyond our imagination, simply through motivation and hard work. To be specific, anything can be learned, unless of course, you start with the belief that you are not talented.The truth is that if you think you are not talented in languages, it probably has something to do with your track record in language classes at school. This isn’t surprising because the curriculum of language classes is made so that it teaches languages in one way, whereas we all learn differently. It might be good at this point to mention that doing interesting stuff does significantly help with the acquisition(获得) of a foreign language. For most of us, this excludes(排除) grammar and drills to a large extent.In my interview with polyglot—speaking or using many languages—and author Susanna Zaraysky, Susanna said that her teacher in high school once told her that she should probably look for another subject to focus her efforts on instead of languages. Susanna now speaks nine languages, has written a book entitled Language is Music , and has traveled to exciting places all over the world. Benny Lewis, probably one of the best known language learners and bloggers on the Internet, has a strikingly similar story, and he now speaks over 12 languages. Not “talented”, eh?28. What is the excuse for language learning mentioned in the text?A. I cannot learn languages well.B. I have no genius for learning language.C. I’m not fond of learning languages.D. I don’t consider foreign languages vital.29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book named The Talent Code.B. A great deal of purposeful practice.C. The idea that a new language is a new skill.D. The theory that practice helps one gain a skill.30. Which of the following statements might the author probably agree with?A. Language classes aren’t suitable for everyone.B. Schools usually try to make language classes interesting.C. Grammar and drills are the least important in language learning.D. The talent for languages makes you interested in learning them.31. How does the author explain his idea in the last paragraph?A. By telling stories.B. By explaining facts.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparison.DIt is National Sleep Awareness Week and reflecting on the importance of this basic act is timely. As a preventive cardiologist(心脏病医生), I work with patients who want to improve their health and lengthen their lives. Many of them have major risk factors for heart disease; othersalready have heart disease or have experienced a heart attack.Traditionally, patients who want to improve their heart health have received four main suggestions from their doctors: eat a healthy diet, get more exercise, quit smoking, and enjoy proper amounts of alcohol. Plenty of research backs up these four pieces of advice: Large studies have found that making improvements in these four areas lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 67 percent.But lately, researchers are starting to recognize that there should be five recommendations on that list, not just four. They are discovering that getting enough sleep is a powerful health protector as well. When researchers include enough sleep in their studies as a fifth cardio-preventive behavior change, they find that it lowers the chance of dying of heart disease even more: adding a good seven hours of sleep a night in addition to making positive changes in diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol intake lowers the chance of dying of heart disease by 83 percent.When that news started coming out, doctors began tagging sleep onto their list of recommended health behavior changes. But I don’t think sleep belongs at the bottom of the list. I think it should be at the top! I believe that getting enough sleep---at least seven to eight hours per night for most people--- is the most important health behavior change you can make to improve the health of your heart and your overall health.Sure, I’d prefer that everyone make all of the big five lifestyle changes, but if I could only choose one, I’d pick sleep because when you are well- rested, you have more power to make the right choices about what you eat and drink, and you have more energy to exercise and you have the resilience you need to kick bad habits such as smoking and overeating. But when you’re exhausted, everything in life is more difficult.32.What does plenty of research show about the 4 common suggestions?A.They are the best ways found so far.B.They are not as helpful as expected.C.They help improve people’s health.D.They should be considered.33.What does the latest research show?A.Seven hours’ sleep is most important to the heart.B.Various factors lead to good heart health.C.The chance of dying of heart disease has dropped.D.Enough sleep contributes to good heart health.34.What was the doctors’ reaction to the news on sleep?A.They discussed it publicly.B.They thought it made sense.C.They tried to ignore it.D.They totally changed their mind.35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Why different factors need to work together.B.Why the author makes sleep his No. 1 suggestion.C.What the importance of a healthy lifestyle is.D.What prevents people from living healthily.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。

It is very convenient for people to express their feeling instantly at any time. Besides, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress. By showing their heart­f elt emotions on the micro­blog, their friends may also know about their condition and can offer timely response. However, micro­blog can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people's privacy and other significant information. And sometimes it is a total waste of time. In my opinion, micro­blog provides us with some concerns as well as emotional comfort and large quantities of information, so we should be careful while using it.Text1M:I′ll take this jacket and that red tie.W:Ok.The total comes to ＄68.75. How would you like to pay?M:Gredit card.Text2W:You′re not traveling anywhere or doing anything fun?M:Not traveling doesn′t mean we won′t have fun. We have a lot of interesting things to do.

It must look really cool flying high in the sky!M:So,are you up for it?W:Okay…But where can we fly a kite in such a big city?M:We can just go down the street, at the parking lot near the Workers Stadium.Text9W:How much is the insurance?M:It′s an extra ＄30.

As soon as I enter your information, I′ll give you the keys and a copy of the rental agreement.Text10Rock climbing might seem extremely dangerous, but most climbers know what they′re doing. Over the years, climbers have developed knowledge and techniques that allow them to conquer rocks safely. There are different kinds of rock climbing, and it′s mainly based on the equipment used. The two main categories are aid climbing and free climbing. Aid climbing usesequipment, such as screws inserts into rocks, to help climbers pull themselves to the top. In free climbing, most climbers use equipment only to protect themselves from falling; they don′t use any tools to help them up the rock. In free climbing, it′s all about skill and knowledge.You might think that muscles are the most important factors in this extreme sport. Not so, you can′t muscle your way through climbing no matter how hard you try. More important factors are balance, accuracy, and the ability to make your body tense, which helps climbers pull themselves up. Lower-body strength is actually more important than upper-body strength.Rock climbing seems to be different and dangerous, but most people can do it if they are brave enough. Beginners can start with climbing small rocks three to five meters tall, so that falling won′t result in serious injury.制卷人：打自企；成别使；而都那。

To get me from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Albany’s frozen Hudson, Peter piled me 42 jackets and sweaters, scarves and gloves, even a hat with earflaps. The gift of Sorel boots——comfortably warm at Canada’s 30 below, was a 43 meaning getting serious.That first winter together, living in upstate New York, I thought I’d 44 . My boots were good below freezing, but my fingers could 45 tie them. Physical adaptation is real, but it came slowly. And there is also emotional 46 to cold. Some days I tell myself that I have enough beach memories to stick to on 47 days and other days I am reminded that living cold does indeed build 48 .49 , having a warm house is important. After my first marriage ended, for years I 50 went on a second date witha man whose response to my “I’m cold.” was, “Put on a sweater.” Now I’m married to a man who 51 that cold hands do not mean a warm heart, and that a big oil bill is better than roses. But surprisingly, I’ve grown, too. Iam 52 , in this new life and climate, to go and look for that cost-saving sweater.The word comfortable did not 53 refer to being satisfied. It’s from Latin, comfortare, meaning to strengthen. The Holy Spirit is Comforter；not to make us comfortable, but to make us 54 .

But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncom mon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.【1】“The door to his room is always shut” in the first paragraph suggests that the son______.A．is always busy with his studiesB．doesn’t want to be disturbedC．keeps himself away from his parentsD．begins to dislike his parents【2】What troubles Tina and Mark most is that______.A．their daughter isn’t as lovely as beforeB．they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactlyC．they don’t know what to say to their daughterD．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help【3】Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.【4】What can be learned from the passage?A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.4.Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money．One of the most important taxes is income-tax which aperson pays according to the amount of his income-tax．Whether he is a businessman, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else．This is called a “direct” tax, because it i s paid in money direct to the government．Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewellery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops．We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper．People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on the things thatthey and their families need．We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid．Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it．Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided．We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements, but there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue．So we have no real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the goodof ourselves and for our fellow-citizens．【1】Indirect tax means _______．A．tax that one pays direct to the governmentB．tax that is not paid directly to the governmentC．tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goodsD．Both B and C【2】Which of the following is right?A．Taxes are paid to the sellers．B．Income-tax is an indirect tax．C．The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government．D．Tax is amount of money that you have to pay to the government so that it can pay for public services．【3】People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because _______．A．some shopkeepers are very richB．they need money to buy goods from abroadC．their children need educationD．the money is spent on the things that they and their families need四、信息匹配根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know.When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I wa s really sad. I wished I’d known about it earlier.Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school.There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there.Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders(活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.【1】What was the writer sad?A．He was late for schoolB．He didn’t know anyoneC．American students looked down upon himD．He missed the trip at the beginning of school【2】Students go to the basement of the teaching building to .A．have fun B．attend classC．meet teachers D．share a classroom【3】How do teachers in the US teach the students?A．They use bricksB．However they want toC．They always teach as requiredD．Some use textbooks; some teach freely【4】According to the passage, in American high schools, .A．students care much about the grades they getB．you are likely to be kicked out if you cheatC．students are better at school work than Chinese studentsD．you’ll be punished if you do not finis h your homework3.When you choke, you can’t breathe properly or can’t get enough air into your lungs because there is something in your throat. Choking can make the person unable to breathe, talk, or even make noise. Worse still, because the body needs o xygen to stay alive, when oxygen can’t reach the lungs and the brain, a person can become unconscious(失去知觉), suffer from brain damage, and even die within minutes. That is what makes choking such a serious emergency.Choking is a serious thing. If you think someone is choking, shout for help and have somebody call 911 right away. If you can do it properly and safely, meanwhile you can give him or her first aid. In other words, you can get behind the choking person and then give a certain kind of quick squeeze(挤压) in the middle of the stomach. This squeeze sends a quick, powerful burst of air from the person’s lungs upward, removing the problem food or object and often sending it flying out of the person’s mouth.Choking is sometimes dangerous. Luckily, something can be done to prevent it. For example, be extra careful when you’re eating certain foods that are easy to choke on. They include things like hot dogs, nuts, grapes, raw carrots, popcorn, and hard candy. Check food labels to make sure that the food is n’t the kind that can lead to choking . Also you can sit down, take small bites and don’t talk or laugh when your mouth is filled with food!In addition, look out for the little guys and girls. Babies and young children love to put things in their mouths, so help keep them safe by picking up anything off the floor that might be risky to swallow-like pen caps and coins. Keep toys with small parts in some place young children can’t get to, and never share your food or candy with a baby.【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A．Examples of choking B．Signs of chokingC．Harms of choking D．Causes of choking【2】What first aid should be given to a choking sufferer?A．Pouring some water into his mouthB．Gently pressing him on the backC．Asking the people present for helpD．Trying to clear the thing of his throat【3】Waht should we do to keep choking from happening to kids?A．Offer them toys with small partsB．Talk to them while we are feeding themC．Keep dangerous things out of their reachD．Forbid them from eating too many candies【4】Where is the text probably taken from?A．An advertisementB．A work reportC．An interesting storyD．A magazine on nursing4.A baby saved his parents and himself from almost certain death in a landslide(泥石流) that buried about 120 people in Southwest China on Saturday morning, Chengdu Economic Daily reported. Xiao Yanchun and her husband, Qiao Dashuai, both 26, live in Xinmo village, Maoxian county, in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture(自治州) of Sichuan province. At about 5:40 am, their 38-day-old son was crying, so Xiao got up to change his diaper(尿布).When she was about to go back to bed after taking care of her baby, she heard a strange sound outside the door and felt the earth quaking. Seeing stones, water and mud flooding into the room, she grabbed the baby and struggled to get out. She and her husband simply swarm through the moving mud as they attempted to get out, and were finally able to run to a safe area as the whole village was engulfed.At about 9 am, the family was sent to Maoxian County People's Hospital. "Mud is all over our bodies," Xiao said. She said her baby had swallowed(吞下) some mud. The three remained in the hospital for treatment on Saturday evening, but their injuries are not life-threatening, the report said.However, the fate of Xiao’s grandmother, parents and 3-year-old daughter, who were in a different house, is still unknown, according to media outlet The Paper.【1】What can be the best title for the news report?A．Parents saved by their baby’s cries at dawnB．Three survivors remain in the hospital for treatmentC．Xiao felt the earth shaking when landslide happenedD．Landslide buried about 120 people in Southwest China【2】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “engulfed” in Para. 2?A．Kept under controlB．Completely surrounded or coveredC．Separated into two or more partsD．Disappeared below the surface of a mass of water【3】How did Xiao Yanchun and her husband get out?A．They simply swarm through the moving mudB．They were helped to get out by other villagersC．They went out before mud flooding into the roomD．They managed to get out before rocks blocked their way【4】What can we infer from the passage?A．Qiao Dashuai was badly injured in the landslideB．The family was sent to hospital by their neighboursC．Xiao’s 3-year-old daughter might have died in the landsliteD．Before looking after Xiao’s baby, the landslide had happened二、其他How to Become More ConfidentOur confidence plays an important role in ability to achieve success and happiness. It affects our mental thought patterns, the way we speak and act, and the decisions we make in all areas of our lives. Confident people take more action, perform better, and are more likely to achieve their goals.【1】Lucky for us, confidence can be built and strengthened until it becomes natural, just as any other habit. It simply takes a little time, some effort, and a bit of attention.Fail more often. The more challenges y ou take on, the more failures you’ll have, but learning that you can recover, get up and push forward builds confidence.【2】Keep a list of successes, big and small. It’ll help you to see your abilities in a more positive and realistic light.Start a conv ersation. When you find yourself in a social situation, don’t always turn to those people you’re comfortable with.【3】Eventually getting to know new people will become easier.Don’t compare. Stop measuring yourself against others.【4】Making comparisons is a damaging and an inaccurate measure of success anyway.Confidence helps you to be more secure in your abilities and more positive in your attitude. It also encourages you to be more assertive(坚定自信的) to take on more challenges, and to improve your skills.【5】The end result is a better outlook, more success, and a higher quality of life in all areas.A．List your super abilitiesB．It may only do harm to themC．Track your accomplishmentsD．The result you get isn’t always realE. Talk to someone you don’t know very wellF. As an added benefit, you’ll attract like-minded peopleG. What’s more, confident people can take more joy from their accomplishments三、完形填空Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892. Her family was______.

Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.One of us was always in Ollie's hospital room--either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, "Go home. You should be with Gwen. " Gwen was Bruce's wife. They had beenmarried for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild."I don't want to leave you, dad," Bruce said. Ollie repeated, "You should be with Gwen. " Reluctantly, Bruce left. "When the baby es," he promised Ollie, "you will be the first to know. " A few days later, around 2 p. m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. "The baby is ing now. It's a boy," he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. "Bruce called," she said, a smile lighting her face. " Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o' clock.

The plan is to get rid of textbooks and replace them with digital learning materials stored in a central database, which students would get into with PCs. Though some digital education programs have been tried in the U.S. and other countries, few can match the South Korean plan. While it will certainly be interesting to spread out, a pletely paperlessschool system will surely stand for other countries to follow. Perhaps the digital learning revolution will have its start in Seoul.The digital developments have improved our personal lives. It was a matter of time before they would finally have an effect on other fields. It's an exciting time in education--whether you're a CEO setting plans for growth, an IT expert making new technology decisions or an educator giving lively courses. All of us are connected by the movement of a more digital campus. Today's generation has integrated web-based technology into their daily lives. Expectations are forming: lively content-anytime, anywhere and on any equipment. And those expectations aren't just for fun--they're spreading into the educational space as well. Expanding our digital footprint isn't just an excitement-it's a necessity. And CEOs and IT experts aren't the only ones feeling the pressure to improve--educators are as well.More and more studies report a change from teaching to learning--moving away from giving lectures of facts to encouraging skills of self-study, analysis and learning paths ; from courses built using a single textbook to numbers of available publisher materials ; and from dull content to lively digital advantages that connect the learners, providing real-time response. Students aren't the only ones benefiting from this change. Educators can now easily buildlively online courses while increasing student outes.45. Why does the author take the South Korean's decision for example?A. To introduce digital education's role and value.B. To prove even a small country has a great dream.C. To call on all the countries to carry out digital education.D. To persuade American government to carry out digital education.46. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Digital developments have nothing to do with our daily life.B. CEOs and IT experts have more pressure to make work plans.C. Educators should use digital techniques to make classes exciting.D. Digital education will sooner or later be carried out across the world.47. The underlined word "integrated" is closest in meaning to ________A. directB. adviseC. bineD. admit48. The use of digital technology in education is _________A. a success for teachers and students to make friendsB. a revolution of teaching to learning with many advantagesC. an advance to attract more students to learn IT knowledgeD. an improvement in making more panies to support schoolsCBurns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.49. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph proba bly means “______”.A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriouslyB. They range from slight burns to deadly onesC. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyD. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly50. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.A. what kind of treatment they needB. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedC. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isD. which layer of skin is burned51. From the passage we learn that _______.A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentB. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatmentC. burns without pains can be treated at homeD. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is52. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeB. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aidC. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is brokenD. you shouldn’t place any wet towels on the burned areaDFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop thewind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks pared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind pletely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.53. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.54. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.第二节七选五（满分10分）Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 56 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. Theygathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money.57 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.58 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the worl d’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” sa ys Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”59 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they bee millionaires. 60 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to plain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they plain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.第三部分写作(共两节, 满分30分)第一节语法填空(每空1分，满分10分)One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.
