Her pose was somehow strange — she knelt (跪) on the ground like a person who was worshiping (祷告); her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. However, the cold and stiff body told them that she had passed away for sure.The rescuers left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reason, the team leader was driven by a strong force to go back to the ruined house. Again, he knelt down to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “A child! There is a child!”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made great sacrifice in order to save her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.A doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cellphone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said, “If you can sur vive, you must remember that I love you.” Everybody that read the message cried.1. Why did the young woman kneel on the ground?A. To protect herself from the earthquake.B. To show respect for God.C. To ask God for help.D. To protect her baby.2. After reading the text message, everyone felt quite .A. shockedB. excitedC. movedD. afraid3. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To prove that a cat has nine lives.B. To show the power of a mother’s love.C. To express his thanks to the rescuers.D. To give advice on how to rescue others.BWhat kind of pets do people have in your country? Dogs? Cats? How about a duck, hippo or lion? Here are two cases of animal owners with unusual pets.Barrie Hayman has a pet duck called Star. Barrie adopted (领养) him after his brothers and sisters stayed away from him at birth. Barrie, a duck breeder, realized the little duck needed special attention. So he began taking Star with him everywhere he went. “I would put him in my pocket while I did my shopping,” said Barrie. Now, at five months, Star is too big for Barrie’s pocket, but the two are still inseparable. They watch sports together and even share a drink together. Barrie said, “He is one fantastic duck. I’ve never known any like him.” Star even has his own Facebook page, with more than 2,000 Facebook friends.Then there’s the case of Tonie and Shirley Joubert in South Africa. They live with their pet hippo, Jessica. Tonie saved Jessica from floodwaters when she was only a day old. Jessica lives outside their riverside house, but she knows how to open the kitchen door, and often goes there for a snack. Tonie recently said, “I don’t know whether Jessica sees me as a hippo or whether she sees herself as a human.” Shirley is m ore certain, “Jessica sees herself as our child and I see Jessica as my daughter. I can’t imagine my life without Jessica.” Jessica is free to leave, and often visits wild hippos that live nearby. But she always returns home at night. Jessica’s website not es that she has three hippo boyfriends, but one in particular, Fred, is her favorite. They often go grazing (吃青草) together and Fred has recently moved onto the Jouberts’ house as well.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Some websites are set up to protect pets.B.

Barrie took Star everywhere he went because .A. he had never seen a duck like StarB. he set up a Facebook page for StarC. he wanted to care more about StarD. he needed Star to drink with him7. We can learn from the passage that Jessica .A. came to the Jouberts’ home when she was 5 months oldB. loves eating in the Jouberts’ kitchenC. doesn’t see herself as a human beingD. has more than three boyfriendsCLe Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)It’s in the grounds of a medieval house. There’s a swimming pool, a river and a pizza restaurant. The scenery (景色) around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A week’s stay will cost you about €280.For more information please go to .Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)This must be one of the best campsites (野营地) in the world. Instead of tents, there are “canvas cabins (帆布船舱)”. And there’s a gourmet restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 of cabins to rent so you’ll have to book early. The campsite can only be reached by river boat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, it isn’t cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about €1,500!For more information please go to /goldentriangle.Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)The Three Cliffs Bay is in a beautiful part of the country, and it won’t cost you much either: a family tent (2 adults, 2 children) is about €28 a day. There’s a camp shop where you can buy food and drinks, and there are pubs and restaurants nearby so you won’t even have to cook. You can water-ski from the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way.For more information please go to .Longitude 131, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Australia)Situated in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, near the massive (巨大的) red rock formerly known as Ayer’s Rock, this is more like a hotel than a campsite. There’s a restaurant, a pool and even a library. The only problem is that it’s a bit expensive — aroun d €1,500 a night.For more information please go to .au.8. If a couple want to stay in Le Val de Cantobre for two days, they will have to pay about .A. €56B. €280C. €160D. €809.

It is a real hotel.DIt just may be the world’s most costly vacuum cleaner (吸尘器). The price of CleanSpace One is eleven million dollars. But yet, it has a big job to do. Recently, researchers in Switzerland said they planned to build this new cleaning machine.CleanSpace One will not be for use in homes or businesses. It will be shot into space to help removethousands of pieces of space junk floating around up there.Last year, we reported on the problem of space junk. Over time, many unused spacecraft have hit each other far above the Earth. Big pieces break into thousands of small pieces. Sometimes they fall back into the atmosphere (大气层) and burn up. But when they do not, it creates big problems.Scientists fear that if something is not done to remove these objects, it may soon become too dangerous to send people and machines into space. There is a large chance that they might hit some of this junk. So that is why the Swiss researchers are developing the new machine.CleanSpace One is not really a vacuum cleaner. It will not be used to take away space junk. But scientists plan to move it close to an old satellite that is no longer being used. Then a claw-like instrument will catch the satellite, and force it back through the atmosphere. There, the satellite will be destroyed by the heat of friction (摩擦) with the air.Researchers say that all they need to do is slow down the speed of some of these unwanted objects. Once they begin to move more slowly, they will fall back to the Earth. There is little chance that they will fall through the atmosphere and harm the people or things below.12. Space junk is created when .A. unused spacecraft hit each otherB. people in space throw away rubbishC. a new spaceship is sent upD. an old spaceship creates friction with the air13. What’s the danger of space junk?A. It will pollute space.B. It will hurt people on the Earth.C. It will hit a spaceship.D. It will burn in the atmosphere.14. Unwanted objects will fall back to the Earth when .A. they are made to move slowlyB. they meet other objects in spaceC. they are not used for yearsD. they are near the atmosphere15. The passage is most probably a .A. science research paperB. science fiction storyC. newspaper adD. science news report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。

People behind us were older;their children were in their late teens, and we didn’t see them or hear from them much.Time passed and a younger family moved in. While at first we thought this would be fun for the kids, it quickly became a pain. If one of our children had a birthday party the neighbors would line up their children along the back fence to watch. We would have invited their children if they had been of the same age. While our older children had parties the neighbor’s little kids would shout through the fence the entire time; we knew it was time to get a new fence.When we built our fence next to the old one, they not only paid nothing for it, but watched us have it built. After we built our fence the mother of the house would call over and ask who was jumping on our trampoline (蹦床). She could only see the tops of their heads and couldn’t figure out who it was. Good people, just too much interest in us. Years later they rebuilt their houses and built a pretty fence between the houses next to the old one. They were not surprised that we didn’t want to pay for it. I have to admit their fence is much prettier than our wooden one.Our yard is next to four other homes; each of the families has had his own home with a strong fence. We have left ours in place. While we love all our neighbors we are glad we have fences between each of us. Only in this way can we protect our little privacy (隐私), as fences certainly do make good neighbors.36. When the author’s older children had a party, .A. his neighbor’s children also had a party as they didB. they would invite his neighbor’s children to attend itC. his neighbor’s children would shout behind the fenceD. his neighbor’s children would watch it through the window37. Why did the author’s home have a wooden fence built?A. The wooden fence looked more beautiful.B. With the fence his home could become safer.C. They didn’t want their little privacy to be known.D. The author’s family didn’t like their new neighbor.38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author’s neighbors all have built strong fences.B. Old people living behind liked children very much.C. The young neighbors wanted the author to pay for the fence.D. The young neighbors were very angry about the author’s ugly fence.39. We can guess from the passage that .A. the young mother of the house was interested in other families’ lifeB. the neighbor of the author started to live there when the author was very youngC. the author thinks that the fences destroy the friendship between the neighborsD. the author’s family was not a big one when the younger family moved hereBDuring an earthquake, you should need to know a thing or two on what to do. If the earthquake strikes while you’re inside a house, you should lie on the floor and take cover under a strong table or other furniture. If there is no furniture you can cover your head with your arms and keep still in the corner of the room. You should remain away from windows, glass walls, or anything that can fall.If you are in bed, stay still. Hold firmly onto your bed and make use of a pillow (枕头) to safeguard your head. You may use a doorway or shelter but only when it is close to you. It should also be considered whether it is strong enough to deal with the load. Do not use lifts, even when they work. Electricity may go out at any time. Many injuries happen when people try to rush out. This means you ought to stay still in your house or perhaps wherever you are.When you are outdoors, you should be far away from buildings, power wires or lights. You should be in the open until the quake stops. Remember that many earthquake deaths outside the house come from debris (碎片), falling walls, flying glass and other falling objects. If an earthquake strikes and you are driving, you pull up to the side of the highway and stop as quickly as possible. You ought not to stop under trees, buildings or power wires. Don’t stop in the middle of the street since it could trouble others.When trapped, you shouldn’t move. Your mouth should be covered with a piece of clothing or handkerchief. Do not shout whenever possible. Shouting should be employed at last to get help from rescuers. This is because it is possible for you to breathe some dirty dust.40. If there is no furniture in the room you should stay .A. near the windowB. far from the doorC. in the center of the roomD. in the corner of the room41. What are you advised to do if you are in bed?A. We should get up quickly and ask for help.B. We should stay in bed with a pillow protecting our head.C. We should get up quickly and rush out of the bedroom.D. We should get up quickly and find something to protect ourselves.42. Why are you advised not to use a lift?A. The lift usually doesn’t work.B. We will probably be trapped in it.C. Too many people are using the lift.D. The building probably will fall down.43. We can learn from this passage that .A. some people may be attacked by debris or falling objectsB. when trapped we should shout for help loudlyC. during an earthquake we should stop our car in the middle of the streetD. if an earthquake strikes we should cover our head with a piece of clothingCNo one could accuse (指责) them of not trying to make it work.After incredible 115 years together two giant turtles at an Austrian zoo have gone their separate ways —refusing to share a cage any longer.The falling-out, which has baffled (使迷惑) the officials of the zoo, marks the end of the world’s oldest animal “marriage”.“We get the feeling that they can’t stand the sight of each other anymore,” said Helga Happ, zoo boss.Bibi and Poldi have got along quite well at the Austrian zoo in Klagenfurt for 36 years, having moved together from the Basel zoo in Switzerland.Both are 115 years old. The pair grew up together and finally became an attraction of the zoo.Back on the singles market: zoo officials are not clear about why the turtles have fallen out but they say that Bibi, the female, starts attacking her partner, biting off part of his shell.“But for no reason that anyone can discover they seem to have fallen out, they just can’t stand each other,” added Happ.It seems that it was Bibi, the female, who started the break-up.According to the newspaper The Austrian Times, staff at the zoo realized all was not well when Bibi attacked Poldi — biting off a chunk (厚片) of his shell. She launched further attacks on her partner until her partner was moved to a different location.The zoo even called in animal experts to try and reunite the couple with counseling but, so far, to no avail. In order to get them in a more loving mood, the experts tried to put some fun back into the relationship by getting them to play games together, but it has not worked.Happ told the newspaper, “It is very rare for animals who are a pair to fall apart after such a long per iod. We hope we can bring a reconciliation (和解) around,” she added.Keeping the animals apart is important as weighing in at 100 kilos each — if they wanted they could kill the other.Giant turtles have no teeth but instead have a horn-rimmed mouth and a powerful jaw which can cause serious damage.44. Why did the two giant turtles get separated?A. They attacked each other.B. They were too large for the cage.C. They couldn’t stand each other.D. The exact reason is unknown.45. What do we know about the two giant turtles?A. They used to fight a lot.B. They came from different zoos.C. They were of different ages.D. They used to live in peace.46. What can we infer from Happ’s words?A. It’s common for animals to break up.B. The two giant turtles will reunite.C. Animals that live long together seldom fall apart.D. The zoo officials will put the two giant turtles into a cage.DAnthony Marc Robles is a college wrestler (摔跤选手) that many people recognize. This summer he was a featured guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Robles was honored on the 2011 ESPY Awards broadcast with not one but two awards: The Jimmy V Award for Perseverance — named for the late college basketbal l coach Jim Valvano, and given to a “member of the sporting world who has overcome great difficulties through physical perseverance and determination,” according to ESPN — and Best Male Athlete with a Disability.Robles did all this, despite having been born without his right leg. Growing up in Mesa, Arizona, Robles was first introduced to wrestling in ninth grade. Despite having a difficult start — with more losses than wins in his first year — Robles set a 129-15 overall record at Mesa High School, winning two Arizona state titles.Robles said, “I didn’t get into the sport for the attention. I wrestle because I love wrestling. Wrestling helped me to mature. I got so much self-confidence from the sport. I love the sport. But from here on my wrestling compe tition days are over, and I’ll be focusing on my next goal, which is to be an enthusiastic speaker. I’ll be around wrestling all my life. I love it so much.”The 22-year-old Robles was even more calm when presented with his Jimmy V Award at the ESPY: “Ever y soul who comes to the earth with a leg or two at birth must wrestle his opponents (对手), knowing it’s not what is, it’s what can be that measures worth. Do it hard, just make it possible, and I’ll not complain about the pain I have experienced. My spirit is unconquerable (不可征服的). Fearless, I will face each opponent, forI know I am capable. Although there is blood, sweat and tears, I am unstoppable.”47. From the first paragraph, we can know Robles _______.A. was a member of ESPNB. does very well in his college subjectsC. must have struggled a lot to get these achievementsD. got many awards on the 2011 ESPY Awards broadcast48.

ⅢReading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.APushing children too hard is a really big social problem that seems to be getting worse.Now we have 6-month-olds in music classes and swimming classes.Parents fear that if other children are attending these classes,they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll,too.The other extreme,simply taking a laissez-faire approach and letting children do—or refuse to do—whatever they want,is not the answer either,of course.Dr Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for the children,not what is best for themselves.If children understand that an activity is in their best interests,then they will accept it,he finds.Dr Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespreadsocial change.“The force of our popular culture,driven by money and superficial(表面上的) values,cannot be resisted,” he says.But change can take place at a“microlevel”,in families and schools.When changes do occur,the rewards can benefit everyone in the family.One mother supporting this new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut back on activities.“The biggest thing is that si nce we have done this,we are rested,” she says.“Not only are our kids rested,because they're not in a ton of stuff,but my husband and I are rested,because we're not driving them everywhere.We weren't living in the moment when we were always busy.We were living by the schedule.The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous.”56.One of the reasons why parents push children so hard is that they______.A.believe in early development in childrenB.are too busy to take care of their childrenC.don't want their children to lag behindD.want to repeat what their parents did to them57.The phrase“a laissezfaire approach”(in Line 1,Paragraph 2)most probably refers to ______.A.denying them what they need B.controlling children in a flexible way C.developing a keen interest in children D.letting children do whatever they want 58.The best way to encourage children to work hard is______.A.to make them believe it's in their best interestsB.to consider the matter from parents' standpointC.to emphasize the importance of hard work from time to timeD.to make it interesting and enjoyable to them59.What the author doesn't approve of in the essay is ______.A.achieving a balance between pushing the children too hard and leaving them aloneB.going from one extreme of pushing children too hard to the other of leaving them alone C.involving children in activity that will probably contribute to their developmentD.pushing children based on what is best for them60.The new approach toward parenting mentioned in the passage most likely refers to ______.A.relieving children's hard work and unnecessary activitiesB.resisting the superficial values of pop cultureC.reducing more activity off their school scheduleD.spending more time with their childrenBSpending time together is very important for a family.Parents can use this time to really get to know their children,and children love spending time together with their parents.Whether it is breakfast,lunch or dinner,families can always come together at the table.Meal time can feed more than just the baby alone,and family relations can be promoted as well.Eating breakfast together is a great way to start the day.Eating dinner together every night allows families to share the happening of the day and plan for tomorrow.Everyone loves a good movie.Break out a bowl of popcorn and gather on the couch togetherfor a family movie night once a week.After a week or two,families begin to really look forward to this relaxing and quiet family time.Pack up your tent and head for the hills.Going camping is a great way for families to have some of that special time together,and a great way to have a holiday too!Games are fun for both kids and adults.There are so many games to choose from!This is a wonderful way to bring families together as games make family time so fun!Gather your family together for a story.Kids just love bedtime stories.This allows parents to spend a bit of time with their kids,too.Children will fall asleep much easier after having a story read to them.This little bit of family time is beneficial in a lot of ways.Enjoy your family time and have fun with it.You'll remember the special time for the rest of your lives.61.The author thinks playing games is a good way to bring family together because ______.A.family time is always a fun gameB.both parents and children like gamesC.there are so many games for childrenD.games are to children what movies are to parents62.The author seems to believe that ______.A.eating dinner together is to prepare for tomorrowB.parents should treat children as readersC.children need parents to read to themD.watching movies is always special63.The author implies that ______.A.watching a movie with popcorn is a practiceB.there is little time for a family to read togetherC.meal time can help to strengthen family tiesD.camping is a good way to stay away from stress64.By writing the passage,the author intends to ______.A.tell readers why it's necessary to spend family time togetherB.show people like spending family time togetherC.express his appreciation of the time his family spent is importantD.explain why reading to children before they go to sleep is important65.The main purpose of the text is to ______.A.give advice B.provide factsC.tell a story D.compare opinionsCPerhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 when I was in high school.The test was the final for a course.I remember waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr.Right passed out our papers one by one.It was a rather difficult test.I heard my classmates groaning,and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren't looking good.Mr.Right put my paper on my desk.There in big red numbers,circled to draw attention,was my score,55!I lowered my head,and covered the score up quickly.A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.“The scores were not very good,none of you passed,” Mr.Right said.“The highest score in the class was a 55.”A 55.That's me!Suddenly my sad look didn't look so bad.I had the highest score.I felt a lot better.I walked home alone that day with the low but high score.My father knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home,“How did you do in your test?”“I made a 55,” I said.A frown(皱眉)now stood on my father's face.I knew I had to explain immediately,“But Dad,I had the highest score in the class,” I proudly stated.I thought that explanation would make a difference.“You failed!” my father replied.“But it's the highest!” I insisted.“I don't care what s cores others had,but you failed.What matters is what you do!” my father firmly said.For years,my father was always that way.It didn't matter what others did,it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.We often don't understand the wisdom(智慧)of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents' shoes.My father's words have carried me throughout life.66.The word “groaning” is the closest in meaning to ______.A.singing B.laughing C.complaining D.quarreling 67.In class,to hide

2020年秋高一新牛津译林版必修一第二单元综合测评(注:本试卷满分120分,考试时间100分钟)一、阅读理解(每题2.5分,共40分)ARegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy (哲学). Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a priv ate school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm (韵律).John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.1. John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of .A. his early education from schoolB. the deaths of his parentsC. Edmund Spenser’s poetryD. the criticism of a magazine2. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A. They read many books.B. They had a bad childhood.C. They died of the same disease.D. They showed strong interest in poetry.3. While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet first, John Keats was .A.determinedB.experiencedC.knowledgeableD. impatient4. What do we know from the passage?A. Keats received little education at schoolB. Endymion was about a real love story.C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.BAre billionaires good with exams as well as their money? Or are they more likely to have escaped school at the first opportunity and worked their way up to make their fortunes?A study of the education al background of some of the world’s wealthiest people shows that they are much more likely to have gone to university, and they are more likely to have a postgraduate degree(硕士或博士研究生学位) than no degree at all.It doesn’t give much support for the image of self-taught entrepreneurs (企业家), who rely on their own wisdom rather than higher education.The study, by insurance company GoCompare, examined the educational background of people appearing in the top 1 00 billionaire lists by Forbes magazine over the past 20 years.It shows that 76 percent of these billionaires have a degree. Forty-seven percent of them have a bachelor’s (学士) degree, 23 percent a master’s (文/理科硕士) degree and 6 percent a doctorate(博士学位). The most popular subjects were the ones related to economics and engineering. There were many more studying sciences than arts.The school attended by the global super rich are also much more likely to be world-class universities, rather than local ones. Harvard University is the single most likely name to be found on the resume(履历) of a billionaire, though one of the most famous names on the rich list, Bill Gates, dropped out of Harvard before finishing.Stanford University in California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have become the launchpads for a rising number of tech billionaires. Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both postgraduates at Stanford. Borthers Charles and David Koch, who are among the world’s biggest oil tycoons, both got their bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT.Among U.K. universities, the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Cambridge have the most multi-billionaires on the Forbes list, while Oxford has produced Rupert Murdoch.5. The study has found all of the following EXCEPT .A. most billionaires are not self-taught geniusesB. billionaires are much more likely to have received higher educationC. nearly half of those on Forbes’ top 100 billionaire lists have a bachelor’s degreeD. there are more billionair es without degree at all than those with a master’s degree6. Of the following subjects, what is the most likely to have been a college major of a billionaire?A. Computer science.B. Art history.C. English literature.D. Law.7. What does the underlined word “launchpads” in Paragraph 7 mean?A. Favorite places of famous people.B. Effective starting points for a career.C. Places on the Internet that help you find information.D. Places where rockets and other spacecraft are sent into space.8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A. The study was carried out by Forbes magazine.B. A high percentage of the world’s richest people have a doctorate.C. Rupert Murdoch went to the London School of Economics and Political Science.D. Harvard University has produced more billionaires on the Forbes list than any otheruniversity.CMusic is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”,but it's not that at all.Music plays a very important part in our education.Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes “modes(调式)”,which were used in churches during the development of music.They are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So much of ourculture is in music and has been for centuries.Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”,which is about how music is produced by vibration(颤动)and why.Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages,including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music.Students learn a huge amount of coordination(协调)through music,so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art.Some famous pieces were written about important works of art,and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better?How do this music and these different parts fit together?).Students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times.In that way,it develops teamwork.As one can see,music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.9.Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT________.A.sciencenguageC.politicsD.history10.Students who learn music have to translate songs________.A.because they are learning the languageB.because they must understand what they are singing aboutC.because the songs are ancient onesD.because they are famous poems11.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Modes are still used in modern music.B.Different kinds of music show different cultures.C.It's easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument.D.A good musician should know the importance of teamwork.12.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of music.B.The importance of music education.C.Ways to learn music well.D.Skills music students should have.DAs a Fulbright(富布莱特法案基金)scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside. At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role o f the professor in the class. The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: “this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful.” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making comments on students’ performances, the professor usually said:” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discusse d earlier this semester.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.13. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.A. argue with their studentsB. be more sure about their answersC. express their ideas more clearlyD. develop their students’ own way of thinking14. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s idea?A. Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question.B. American professors are not responsible since they don’t give students answers.C. American education produces aggressive students.D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students’ creativity.15. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A. Comparison and contrast.B. Cause and effect.C. Giving examples.D. Description.16. What is the author’s attitude towards education in U.S.?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. NeutralD. Unsure二、完形填空(每小题1.5分,共30分)Are you a man or a mouse?

The chemical is called adrenalin. 31 adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 32 to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this 33 , the muscles become very hard and you find you 34 move at all. You are then paralyzed (使无能为力)with fear. This is 35 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”.

car and drove around in it for several weeks.They always slept in big hotels in towns at night,but then there was something wrong with their car.They took it to a garage,and the men there repaired it,but it took a long time,and the Spaniard and his wife were very late after that.They did not reach a town that evening,but came to a small village in the middle of the night.They were very tired,and the next town was forty miles away.They got out of their car and looked for a hotel in the small streets.They walked around the village for a quarter of an hour,and then they found a small hotel.There were not any others in the village.There were no lights in the hotel,but the Spaniard went to the door and knocked at it.Hewaited for a minute,but nobody came to the door.He knocked again and waited another minute,but again no one came.Then he found a bell and rang it.He rang it for several minutes,and then a window at the top of the hotel opened.An old man looked out of the window and said,“What do you want?”“Good evening,” the Spaniard said.“Have you got any free rooms?We're very tired.”It was very dark in the street,and the old man said,“Who are you?”The Spaniard said,“We are Don Ramon Roberto Nanuel Claudio Rodriguez Rafael Eduardo de Salas and Dona Maria Conchita Diana Marcelina Roberta Mercedes M anuela de Salas.”The old man did not speak for a few seconds,and then he said,“There are a lot of you.This is a small hotel,and we haven't got more than two free rooms.”Then he closed the window.36.The Spaniards did not reach a town that evening because ______.A.they had

Lots of kids have moved here and made new friends,” my new teacher told me. “Oh, and don’t be concerned about your braces (矫正器). Almost everyone has them here.”Even my new teacher thought I was a nerd (弱者), and he hadn’t even known me for f ive minutes. If my teacher thought that, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of class were going to think.I wondered what kind of speech he gave them about me, “The new girl.” He probably made it sound like I was a nerd whose dad just died and everyone should be nice to me.I wish I was back with my friends at my old school, where everyone knew me.The bell rang, and the class poured in. Maybe if I didn’t move, they wouldn’t see me. Oh, well, it was a nice try. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of alien (外星人).At that moment, a beautiful girl walked in and said with a sweet smile, “Hi, my name is Alicia.”“Um, I’m Annie,” I said.She made a face and said, “Hi, Annie. You can sit with us at lunch today if you want.”“Maybe this new school wouldn’t be so bad after all,” I thought.1. How did the writer feel when she first came to this school?A. Excited.B. Proud.C.

One afternoon mydaughter asked David to go to the local shop to buy something. He rode his bicycle, but foolishly left it outside the shop without putting on the lock. When David came out of the shop, it was gone. He walked home in tears and then, together with his exasperated mother, went to the local police station.Imagine their joy when they arrived at the station: David’s bike was there. The driver told my daughter how he’d seen a group of kids go for the bike once my grandson had gone inside the shop. The driver, in his late teens, had called out to them to leave the bike alone. Despite this, one of the kids in the group had jumped on the bicycle and ridden it away while the others followed.The teen got into his car, drove after them and demanded the stolen bike back. He was happy to be able to return it to my grandson together with a lecture about the folly of failing to use the bike lock. Then, in all the excitement, he walked away without even giving his name or telephone number.4.

Although it sounds far away, it was actually only about 5 hours by plane from New York City.Day 1Today we walked around the capital city of Iceland. Reykjavik is a European city filled with lots of history, shopping, and good restaurants. One famous place in Reykjavik is the big church in the city center. The famous film Die Another Day was shot here in 2002.Day 2We took the bus to go through the beautiful National Park, and then we went to Golden Waterfall in the highlands and the geysers (间歇泉).There were several active geysers that we were able to stand right near. The geysers threw up hot water every ten minutes and it was a sight to see. Hot water from the geysers is one of Icela nd’s greatest treasures. Not only is it used to heat houses and produce electricity (电) but it is also wonderful to just sit in it.We also went to see several waterfalls and were even able to walk behind one of the waterfalls. It is unusual to be able to touch a waterfall in nature. It was a very exciting day.Day 3Tired and exhausted from all the excitement of this wonderful country, we took a taxi to the airport. Goodbye, Iceland. I am really looking forward to our return.8. What do we know about the capital city of Iceland?A. It’s a new European city.B. It’s a good place to visit.C.

We can learn from the passage that the writer .A. knew little about Iceland before he visited itB. had an enjoyable trip with his family in IcelandC. went to Iceland by plane but returned by taxiD. decided not to take a vacation once again in IcelandDI turned away from the piano. After an hour of practicing, I still couldn’t play Mozart’s piece well. It was frustrating to have spent such a long time on a piano song and still be unable to play the piece well. To me, the piece had at first seemed very easy, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t play it c orrectly.I decided to take a break, and come back to the piece later. For the most part, after a little bit of work, I could usually learn the song quickly. However, it was always that song, which might have appeared simple but was difficult. These types of songs always made me upset.After having dinner, I decided to come back to the piano. I chose to play the piece slowly and carefully, paying attention to the correct notes instead of trying to play the piece quickly. Using this new method of practicing, I focused on how I could improve myself little by little.I didn’t even get the rhythm (节奏) right until a week later. But I learned an important lesson —sometimes, baby steps are really important. I’m the person who likes to do things quickly. But in t he case of the piano, I couldn’t move forward and improve until I slowed down, and took one step at a time.12. The writer at first thought that playing Mozart’s piece .A. would be rather difficultB. might waste a lot of timeC. needed much practiceD. was really a piece of cake13. What do we know about the writer from the third paragraph?A. She had difficulty in reading the notes.B. She changed her attitude towards playing the piano.C. She liked to play a piece of music slowly.D. She paid attention to improving herself in the past.14. The writer finally improved herself by .A. reading the notes carefullyB. choosing to play a simple pieceC. practicing the piano in a slow wayD. asking her teacher for help15. What did the writer learn at last?A. Teachers are important to pianists.B. Calm down or you can’t enjoy Mozart’s piece.C. Playing the piano needs a lot of practice.D. Go step by step and you will succeed.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。

高一新牛津译林版必修一第二单元综合测评(注:本试卷满分120分,考试时间100分钟)一、阅读理解(每题2.5分,共40分)ARegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy (哲学). Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private sc hool, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due t o tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized (批评) by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm (韵律).John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.1. John Keats’ attitude towards life changed because of .A. his early education from schoolB. the deaths of his parentsC. Edmund Spenser’s poetryD. the criticism of a magazine2. What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A. They read many books.B. They had a bad childhood.C. They died of the same disease.D. They showed strong interest in poetry.3. While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet first, John Keats was .A.determinedB.experiencedC.knowledgeableD. impatient4. What do we know from the passage?A. Keats received little education at schoolB. Endymion was about a real love story.C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.D. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.BAre billionaires good with exams as well as their money? Or are they more likely to have escaped school at the first opportunity and worked their way up to make their fortunes?A study of the educational bac kground of some of the world’s wealthiest people shows that they are much more likely to have gone to university, and they are more likely to have a postgraduate degree(硕士或博士研究生学位) than no degree at all.It doesn’t give much support for the image of self-taught entrepreneurs (企业家), who rely on their own wisdom rather than higher education.The study, by insurance company GoCompare, examined the educational background of people appearing in the top 1 00 billionaire lists by Forbes magazine over the past 20 years.It shows that 76 percent of these billionaires have a degree. Forty-seven percent of them have a bachelor’s (学士) degree, 23 percent a master’s (文/理科硕士) degree and 6 percent a doctorate(博士学位). The most popular subjects were the ones related to economics and engineering. There were many more studying sciences than arts.The school attended by the global super rich are also much more likely to be world-class universities, rather than local ones. Harvard University is the single most likely name to be found on the resume(履历) of a billionaire, though one of the most famous names on the rich list, Bill Gates, dropped out of Harvard before finishing.Stanford University in California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have become the launchpads for a rising number of tech billionaires. Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both postgraduates at Stanford.

At first, I was too polite to get their help. Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society. I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted. I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class. The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs-far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said: “this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong. It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day.” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful.” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” When making comments on students’ performances, the professor usually said:” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earl ier this semester.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it. That is why they make far more certain statement than American students. That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas.13. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______.A. argue with their studentsB. be more sure about their answersC. express their ideas more clearlyD. develop their students’ own way of thinking14.

American professors are not responsible since they don’t give students answers.C. American education produces aggressive students.D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students’ creativity.15. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article?A. Comparison and contrast.B.
