His teacher said he showed little hope because of his boring eyes. To improve this, he exercised them day after day. Thanks to his efforts, he managed to change his dull eyes into a pair of bright and expressive eyes and win national fame before the age of 20.In over 50 years on the stage, Mei Lanfang played no less than100 different characters in the performance. He also wrote many new plays, designing the dances himself. The many dances he created form part of the great treasure that he left to PekingOpera. In 1930, Mei Lanfang started on a successful US tour. There his brilliant performances impressed the audience, making them realize thatPeking Opera was a theatrical form of great value.56.

Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants 'life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough for most plants.The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(not lived by people). People also live outside oases( 绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on thedesert plants and do not need much water. The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, pat them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.59. According to the passage, deserts are mostly made up ofA. clayB. rockC. stonesD. sand60.

However, none of them come even close to Holi, India 's most colorful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the full moon, this year 's festival happens to be on March 19th.As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe —Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to beimmune(免疫的) to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with her inside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika is burned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to clean the air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil. So what 'sso great about this day? While there are some fun parades(游行) and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing(泼洒) people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody is fair game, no matter how old or how young.At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and awell-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.64. Why does the king dislike his son Prahlada?A. Because Prahladadoesn 't love him.B. Because Prahlada is rude to Holika.C. Because Prahlada loves Lord Vishnu.D.

The underlined phrase “fair game ”in Paragraph 3 refers to a person who _________ .A. fights against others fairlyB. enjoys splashing peopleC. plays a trick on othersD. is the aim of splashing water67. After the fun activities, people living close to oceans or rivers often take a bath because _____________ .A. they have got dirty with dry colors and colored waterB. going home with colored water means bad luckC. they believe clean water will bring good luckD. taking a bath shows their true love for Lord VishnuDBelow is adapted from an English dictionary.

At 13 ,my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgement and I begged my parents to let me go.We have never been rich ,but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed.I imagined being signed by some famous model companies.

I was devastated (极度不安的).Years later ,I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn't actually love modeling ,just the idea of it.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with chi pmunks — small American animals similar to squirrels with bl ack lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent si x months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the park’s phone and radio system from a room in the baseme nt.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the susp ended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the oppo site direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tail s, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a s hadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,” a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.”After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accusto med to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the w orkplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviorsprovided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other acro ss our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light pa nels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phon e as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just intime to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the d esk.

In their study published o n Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found th at rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on th eir backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they disco vered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made t his feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickle d to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain w here tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump li ke rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly ground-breaking,” said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwest ern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of e motion to a new level.”Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of ani mal ticklin g. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the lat e 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experi encing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats rep eatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab wher e Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds w hile playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab sai d, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.” They quickly found that thos e cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous,” said Daniel O’Co nnor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studie s touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different whenyou are stressed out?” he said. “This is the first step towards answering that question.

My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in a nd he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Ni ne months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me. The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two y ears when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's f ace was inches from mine.“What are you doing?” I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He rea ched down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,” he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been be side me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confiden t woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced(刺穿) my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richar d how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15. When the author looked into the mirror, she found herself ______.A. beautifulB. confidentC. untidyD. unusual16. Why did the author’s mother and her two children have to move?A. Because their house was too small.B. Because they we re not well treated by the husband.C. Because they were expecting another baby.D. Because her mother’s husband wanted them to move.17.

My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 the holidays.” Then she gave th e cashier food stamps.My heart 34 . I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to 35 her groceries or ask for her husband’s situation?36 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart.

It wasn’t a handful of cash or an 3 7 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life 38 .My heart beat faster as I 39 the woman. “Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I co uldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier.

As was often the 11 , we had to pack our belongings(财物)into boxes and 12 those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again standing at the pier (码头) 13 good-bye to my father as his ship pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of 14 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of 15 in the new environment again.Throughout the years of changing 16 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my 17 and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while 18 some type of part-time job. Leaving a 19 career is just one of the sacrifices(牺牲) which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. 20 she had to deal with only a small budget(预算), my mother, 21 , managed to make each house the very home that is safe and 22 .This probably sounds like a disappointing way to live, 23 with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to 24 her career or set up a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this 25 into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to 26 another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a 27 to rearrange furniture, make curtains and 28 pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a 29 attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so 30 all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.11.

That’s when we saw our first raccoon (浣熊). Quite at home in the big city, he paid us no attention, concentrating only on finding a 32 (taste) lunch. He sorted through a few options before coming out with a wrapped sandwich 33 (hold) between his paws.34 (surprise), rather than run away, he jumped down and walked casually to a spot on the path, not a metre from 35 we sat. The children were spellbound, the raccoon providing better 36 (entertain) than any museum. He glanced at us, perhaps checking to see 37 we were about to steal his lunch.38 delicate fingers, he peeled back the layers of plastic wrap until the half- eaten sandwich 39 (uncover).Then he surprised us all. Instead of starting his food, he turned to a nearby pool of water and 40 (dip) his paws in. With a casual air, he rubbed his paws together underwater for a moment, brushed his fur, then started gracefully picking at his meal.四、阅读理解I recently came in contact with celebrity magazines. My family isn’t one to give money for pictures of skinny, drunk celebrities with paragraphs about their relationships and shopping cart times. Thus, I was excited to finally get a chance to rea d about other people’s attractive yet troubled lives.Right away I noticed how each magazine seemed to be a copy of the other. They had headlines and pictures that were almost the same. Still, the pictures of perfectly constructed faces with cute designers outfits going on with their daily lives made me read on.Wait, celebrities taking their dogs for walk? Spending an afternoon at a park? All of these things seemed so ordinary — things my own family and I do together often. I suddenly realized how unextraordinary the people in these magazines were. They are simply normal people who happen to have a cool job and much money. For some reason, pictures of them doing things like buying milk at the store appeal to millions of readers. Then, when these regular people mess up, their mistakes is painted onto hundreds of newspapers and internet sites.What if every time we made a mistake, it was made public? Have you ever failed a test? Imagine seeing pictures of you on the front of a newspaper with headlines like, “Regular Schooling Isn’t Enough”. You’d be embarrassed. Now, I’m not necessarily taking the celebrity’s side. I’m more realizing the fact that these people we were crazyabout are just ordinary human beings with many photographs following them around. Role models? I’d think not. Personally, I’d rather look up to people in any community who have accomplished a lot instead of an ordinary person walking his dog in Berverly Hills.41.

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练15(实验班)第I 卷(100分)阅读理解AA sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write s killfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift” rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They fe el that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. S uch people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simpl y do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and whe n they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chie fly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talen t” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probabl y will not learn how to write effectively.A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that wri ting is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to l earn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensiv ely.Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a ch allenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings from one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing—and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writi ng comes from hard work—from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know.21. Why do some people think writing is difficult?A. They have no time to practice writing.B. They believe fe w people can write well.C. They have no good teachers to help them.D. They don’t t hink writing can be learned.22. It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ________.A. “natural gift” is the determining factor in one’s successB. diligence can result in successC. a person without “natural gift” is sure to fail in writingD. attitude determines what one will be23. What is the topic of the passage?A. Why writing is important.B. Whether writing is a born gift.C. Benefits of essay writing.D. How to improve writing skills.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants t hat beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens are healt hy for the environment and the people living and working near by.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It i s just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower th an the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and stor m water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms an d letting it soak (浸入) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants inthe rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby st reams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a sim ple, attractive, and ecofriendly “green” way to treat storm wate r.What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution an d improve the environment. Without using expensive machine ry and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in t he rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reachin g streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because the y are more used to the local climate, soil, and water condition s. They may attract localwildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediat ely after planting and once a week, unless you have had at le ast an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establi sh the necessary root system, they will require little care. Often, local governments and private businesses develop larg e rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to i mprove the environment and solve flooding problems. Howev er, you don’t need to be a professionally environmentalengineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re ecoconsc ious homeowners, you can help the environment by building s maller rain gardens in your yards.24. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.C. They can beautify the community.D. They improve the environment.25. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.B. They can keep the rain and storm water.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.26. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommen ded is that ________.A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to comeC. they require little care from the local gardenerD. they are more used to the local growing conditions27. What do we know about rain gardens?A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos fr om Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the pho ne owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Appl e’s case, developers can also obtain the location information f or each photo.Senator (参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his offi ce had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Mon day.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having acces s to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendl y and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to theFederal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Cl audia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agen cy had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even p osted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his let ter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to t his kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to cl ose it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an a greement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take t he issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his offi ce to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed wi thout any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll tu rn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider le gislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant (警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to priv acy.28. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _______.A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private info rmation.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking phot os.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for ea ch photo.29. Which of the following statements is True?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.30. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the te chnology to open the door to privacy invasion _______.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.B. can be used if permitted.C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal in formation.D. causes personal information to be posted online without pe rmission.31. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.DA sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend—a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to sheph erd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in , uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infan cy (NEHI) when she was just eight months old. Her rare condi tion has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout t he world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxy gen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida an d her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the you ngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a t ube following her all the time. The couple found out about “ser vice dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained t o help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally fou nd help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.32. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B.

The research, conducted by , shows that different parents ha ve different approaches to these problems. 38 For exam ple, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness , but later clean the room for them, have fewer chances of cha nging their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.39 Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. 40 It is only by listening to and understanding each other that p roblems between parents and children can be settled.A.

What can be enjoyed in Phillip Island Nature Park? .A. Fierce wildlife.B. Charming beaches.C. Outdoor swimming spots.D. Various modem buildings.2. According to the passage,Penguin Parade .A. opens at 10 a.m.every dayB. is opened to us all year aroundC. is the most popular wildlife attractionD. provides the chance to see wild penguins3. In the Koala Conservation Centre and Churchill Island Heritage Farm we can appreciate .A. wild koalas and penguinsB. water views and penguins' holesC. wild koalas and lovely gardensD. wild penguins and ancient buildings4. If you buy a 3 Parks Pass online, .A. you must use it within a yearB. you must print it out in 60 minutesC. you can have it delivered to your houseD. you can take your family along to the parkBWhat is success?I am not going to try to define success.I think a precise definition is impossible!Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winningWimbledon,or being awarded a Nobel Prize?What else?I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition.Who is more successful?A millionaire who is unhappy,or an unnoticed person,who has led a simple,quiet,sincere and happy life?The simplest definition of success,I think,is "to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it".The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力)you choose may be the goal of life;because it gives you freedom from worry.Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us.Some people believe it is measured in financial terms,others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves.However,most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition.How many people are really happy?How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives?Incidentally,the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all,I believe success is a matter of personal growth.If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter,I believe one is successful.Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I've got a very long way to go then!Finally,always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.It's the journey that really matters.Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.5. What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognition.B. Being an unhappy millionaire.C. Something impossible to define simply.D. Succeeding in doing what you want.6. Which plays an important role in your success?A. Intelligence.B. Confidence.C. Wealth.D. Kindness.7. According to the text,humans are different from animals in .A. beliefB. freedomC. imaginationD. success8. What can be the best title for the text?A. What is success?B. No true successC. How to be successfulD.

What is the text mainly about?A. The concept of the cataract.B. A new cataract treatment with stem cells.C. Bad effects of post-operation in the cataract.D. The reasons why the cataract comes into being.13. Which of the following best describe the new cataract treatment according to the passage?A. Convenient.B. Comfortable.C. Cheap.D. Safe.14. What can we learn about the new cataract treatment?A. It has more risks.B. It may be used widely.C. It has been put into practice.D. It can only restore Vision in babies.15. What does the underlined word "congenital" in the fourth paragraph mean?A. Born.B. Strange.C. Serious.D. Dangerous.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。
