The group’s aim is to ensure that students have food in their stomachs so they can better fix their attention on the study in class.MacFarlane-Barrow, who runs Mary’s Meals on his father’s farm, told CNN that the entire operation started with a conversation he had with a teen living in a poor state. He said, “In 2002, I was in Malawi during a year of terribly short of food, and I met this family—the father had died, and the mother was dying with her six children around her. I began talking to her oldest child, Edward, who was about 14, and asked him, ‘What are your hopes?’ And he said, ‘I’d like to have enough food to eat, and I’d like to go to school one day’ ”And that was it.In its first year, the group fed 200 children in need. Since that time, it has made rapid progress. Last month, Mary’s Meals fed more than I million children every school day. That was 5 million meals every week. “The million is this amazingly important, but we are far from satisfied. Our work’s just beginning. We’v e proven that this works, and now we’v e just thinking about the next child,” said MacFarl ane-Barrow.He and the group recently celebrated the achievement (成就) in Malawi, where the program began. So far, the program has had very good results. In Malawi, schools that carried out the Mary’s Meals program saw a 24 percent increase in the number of new students within the first six months.24. Why did MacFarlane-Barrow found Mary’s Meals?A. He hoped to provide free food for poor families.B. He expected to teach children how to help others.C. He wanted to make children free of hunger in class.D. He wished to become well-known by helping others.25. What made MacFarlane-Barrow have the idea to start Mary’s Meals?A. I he conversation with a poor child.B. The terribly short of food in Malawi.C. The poor living conditions of schools.D. The success of helping a needy kid.26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. Schools in Malawi are popular.B. No children suffer from hunger now.C. Mary’s M eals program has been very successful.D. MacFarlane-Barrow is satisfied with the present result.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Edward’s Dream Came into RealityB. Mary’s Meals Program Shocked the WorldC. Malawi Gets Away from Being Short of FoodD. A Farmer Feeds I Million Kids Every School DayCLast year I realized I hadn’t spo ken to anyone but my family members in days.When I left my job in my late twenties to write a novel, I felt very happy. No more forcing myself awake at the early hours of the morning and worrying what to wear, no more braving the subway during rush hour. I could wake up when I felt like it and enjoy my coffee as I worked on my book.At first it was like being in heaven. But months later I began to feel lonely. It was just me, my work, and the Internet. I spent hours looking through the website instead of writing. I thought I was still connected to everyone around me but in fact I was more lonely than ever. As a result, I became more afraid of being out in the world. I warned to step away from the lonely life I had brought to myself and have a normal schedule again. Iconsidered renting an office but I realized I would still be lonely. What I had in mind something Td had all those years ago—big shared table filled with people I really liked.I phoned a friend who worked at home too and asked if she would be interested in getting an office together. She’d been feeling just as lonely as I had, so she jumped at opportunity. I asked another friend to join us, and together we found a beautiful space in my favorite part of town. Others soon heard about our office and asked if they could join. There are nine of us here now. Each of us has found that we now love the routine (日常规律) of going to work again, and we are happier than before. Now, we tire needed by other people too.In my twenties, it felt like I was going to work every day with my best friends, and for the first time in years, I feel that way again. The loneliness has gone—I finally feel like I belong again.28.

I feel pity because I am actually skilled in the technology field. While I appreciate all the ways that technology has made our lives better, it comes at an environment cost.Electronic waste, also known as “e-waste”, is the term used to describe the rapidly I wing stream of waste from useless electronics. These items include anything from computers, TVs and phones to washing machines and refrigerators. Most of these electronics are often not rubbish, but simply given up for the latest version (版本) on the market.Findings show that we produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste all over the world in 2014. Even more surprisingly, it is believed that less than one-sixth is properly recycled or reused. While the bad influence of e-waste is big and growing, most people probably don’t realize its reach. The lack (缺乏) of proper recycling leads to harmful materials going into the environment. Harmful materials cause all sorts of health problems.Maybe the worst part of this problem is that most e-waste from developed countries is exported (出口) to developing countries, which is picked over by locals who want to mine useful materials from it. The improper recovery methods are often performed by local women and children. Many survive on mining these products, but with poor practices and regulations, it comesat a much higher cost—the health of the planetand its people.32. What does the author possibly do?A. A new reporter.B. A law student.C. A technical engineer.D. An environment professor.33. E-waste refers to electronic products that _________.A. are out of dateB. are actually rubbish.C. fail to be used againD. sell badly on the market.34. According to the text, how does the public see e-waster?A. They try to avoid it.B. They think nothing of it.C. They try to make use of it.D. They make lots of research on it.55. Why do some developing countries bring in e-waste?A. To earn money.B. To study it carefully.C. To get it reused properly.D. To help take it apart.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

For several 32 all I could do was to 33 there and looked down at him. My first thought was he must need 34 with his homework or he was trying to 35 me for some news.Finally I asked. “What was that all about?”“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should 36 our parents that we lovethem and see what t hey say. It’s 37 .”The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 38 .“Basically, most of the fathers had the 39 reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first 40 we try this”, I aske d the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. “The 41 is,” the teacher explained. “feeling loved is an important part of 42 . It’s something all human beings 43 . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too 44 we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 45 to tell his dad that he loves him.”The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 46 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for 47 second. And just before he 48 away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.

Researchers found that kangaroos communicated with humans“on purpose”--a behavior that was thought to only belong to domesticated(驯养的)animals,like dogs,horses or goats.Experts from London's University of Roehampton and the University of Sydney set up a task.This task was known as“the unsolvable problem task”・During the task,they presented kangaroos with food trapped inside a plastic container.After trying,and failing,to open the boxes,the kangaroos turned their gaze(注视)on a nearby human-and sometimes even pushed or scratched(抓)them to ask for help,researchers said.“Their gaze was pretty powerful,co-author Alexandra Green said."We've previously thought only domesticated animals try to ask for help with a problem.But kangaroos do it too.If they can't open the box,they look at the human and back to the container.Some of them use their nose to push the human and some get close to the human and start scratching at him asking for assistance.,,Based on these new findings,the team believe kangaroos-considered social animals,like dogs and goats--may be able to change their behavior to interact with humans.“Through this study,we are able to see that communication between animals can be learnt and that the behaviour of gazing at humans to get food is not related to domestication lead author Alan McElligott said.“Indeed,kangaroos showed a very similar pattern of behaviour we have seen in dogs,horses and even goats when put to the same test,“McElligott added.12.What have the researchers found about kangaroos?A.Kangaroos can become domestic animals.B.Kangaroos can communicate with humans.C.Kangaroos can learn from domestic animals.D.Kangaroos have the same habits as domestic animals.13.What does the underlined word“trapped“mean in Paragraph2?A.Removed.B.Hidden.C.Kept.D.Saved.14.What are the researchers’findings based on?A.Observations.B.Previous data.C.Making comparison.D.Making a survey.15.In which part of a newspaper is this text most probably taken from?A.Travel.B.Education.C.Technology.D.Science.二、七选五Do you sometimes hesitate(犹豫)before asking others for things?As the saying goes,“He who hesitates is lost."Don't hesitate.You can't control how other people will act.16.Here are four things you can do to get other people to say“yes”:17.If you don't care about what the other party wants or needs,it is unlikely they will say"yes”.Most people are,as Wharton professor and organizational psychologist Adam Grant calls them,“matchmakers”---people who help if you help them.Few are“givers”---people who help without seeking anything in return.Make the person feel comfortable.It is not so difficult to think about what the other person wants.18.If you want them to feel comfortable,they need to trust you.If you want the other person to say“yes”to your request, think about the other person.Be silent.Still,you can make the person feel briefly uncomfortable.You do not have to immediately respond. Pause.Be silent.19.It can make the other person want to fill the emptiness,start talking and give in to what you want.Let the person say"no”first.20.Chris Voss argues that getting the other person to say“no”is a strategy for making the person feel comfortable.A.Silence causes discomfort.B.Be smart in how you sell your idea.C.But it is very hard to get them to trust you.D.Think about what the other person wants or needs.E.They are more likely to say“yes"if you make it a win-win scene.F.Sometimes,you need the other person to say“no"before they will say"yes".G.But you can control your actions in a way that can increase the chances of a favorable result.三、完形填空A few years ago,my father arranged to send me a mail-order fruitcake at Christmastime.Although I had a21job and owned an apartment in Manhattan,he always22my refrigerator might be empty.He23me to have a particular brand of fruitcake.Made in Texas,it was famous among fruitcake 24.“It makes me25my mother’s,”he told me in a phone call.Ordering the fruitcake was his26of trying to take care of me from afar.27I was middle-aged,I was still his son.The first week of December passed with no28of his fruitcake.Delayed(耽搁)by holiday mail,I thought,or a backlog of orders.The day before my flight to California,the fruitcake still had not29.January,February,and March came and went30no fruitcake.Though my father31to ask about it,I never once considered32and telling him yes,the fruitcake had33arrived and was 34.Instead I said,“That35is orbiting earth,and sooner or later it will36.”“That’s a good one!”he37.Early last December,nearly a year after my father died from a failing heart,I got a(an)38from a staffer at the front desk of my apartment building.“You39a package(包裹),”he said.I went downstairs to40it up.The brown box had a FedEx label with a return address in Texas. 21.A.poorly-paid B.good C.new D.interesting 22.A.believed B.hoped C.feared D.guessed23.A.forced B.encouraged C.asked D.wanted24.A.lovers B.sellers C.markets D.shops25.A.think over B.think of C.look for D.look around 26.A.suggestion B.experience C.attitude D.idea27.A.Because B.Even though C.Whenever D.Before28.A.sign B.call C.mail D.taste29.A.sold B.gone C.arrived D.stayed30.A.out B.for C.with D.off31.A.continued B.forgot C.waited D.refused 32.A.replying B.keeping C.believing D.lying33.A.quickly B.finally C.suddenly D.slowly 34.A.delicious B.broken C.ready D.famous35.A.flight B.cake C.man D.box36.A.leave B.disappear C.land D.fly37.A.shouted B.cried C.answered D.said38.A.message B.letter C.email D.call39.A.have B.send C.make D.order40.A.give B.look C.pick D.take四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

四川省成都市2022-2023学年高一上学期期末调研考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解We are King’s College London (KCL) Students’ Union!We have a huge range of events!1.What is special about Anatomy Museum Tour?A.It will be held in the afternoon.B.It is only for students of certain majors.C.There is no limit to the number of participants.D.Students from other schools should pay to attend it.2.How much will you pay if you donate 2 shirts and take 2 coats at Clothes Exchange?

I remember the days when we had a quick meal in the car after work and tried to figure out which soccer game, basketball game, or family event we were driving towards. We just intentionally created family time to connect with each other.One day when I finished a playhouse for the kids, three-year-old Matthew came and asked to help. “Sorry, kid, but I’m all done, ” I replied. “Oh no...”, cried Matthew. Now, any three-year-old crying after missing a project with their dad would be sweet. Crying Matthew looked like a newborn cat, melting a heart of stone. But what could I do? I had finished the project and now I had to disappoint the little boy. Suddenly I realized, “he just wants to do any project with me. Just make one up!”I caught two pieces of useless wood, “You see this wood here? I need these two pieces of wood to be held together really tight. Can you help me?”A slight smile was on his face, “Yes!”The result was a pleased little boy whose heart was full. What I saw was two pieces of junk wood. What he saw was the connection with his father. He saw companionship, priority, worth and a place to belong to.Parents always think, “I’ll create family time next Saturday. ” But you don’t always have to do big things to fill children’s hearts. In fact, the simple act of being present means the world to little hearts. Look at that face! Those are the eyes of a little one who received nothing. And everything.4.Why did the family eat in the car after work?A.To avoid heavy traffic jams.B.To have extra basketball classes.C.To remove the trouble of cooking.D.To have more time with family members.5.What do we know about Matthew in Paragraph 2?A.He wanted to do projects with his dad.B.He was disappointed with the playhouse.C.He wanted to build the playhouse independently.D.He was sad for missing the project assigned by school.6.Which of the following words can best describe the author?A.Thoughtful and caring.B.Educated and strict.C.Open-minded and generous.D.Efficient and patient.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Looking After Kids Is Easy B.A Role Model for Kids Counts C.Family Events Bring Us Together D.Balancing Work and Family Is ImportantIt might not surprise the average Floridian to find a baby turtle on a sidewalk, but to my teenage eyes it appeared to be something unusual.One morning, when my mother and I were jogging outside our neighborhood, from a distance I spotted an object about the size of a quarter moving on the sidewalk. When my mother and I were close enough, we realized the quarter was a baby turtle. It looked as though it was on a journey. Yet I wondered if it really knew where it was going because it was heading straight for the road. I told my Mum that if we didn’t take this baby turtle home it would become roadkill. She finally agreed to save it and told me turtles represented good luck. We carried it home, named it Morton and cared for it the best way we could.We first placed Morton in mother’s bathroom sink (槽) and then an amphibian tank (两栖动物水箱). Slowly Morton grew from a quarter, to a dollar, a chocolate cookie, then eventually a disk.I knew that people kept turtles like Morton as pets. However, one day it occurred to me that Morton wasn’t a domesticated turtle in a pet store. He was a wild turtle taken from nature and forced into the tank. I was trying to protect him like an overprotective parent by not setting him free. Suddenly, my heart broke into pieces. Slowly I picked up Morton and transported him to his original amphibian tank. It was time.I will never forget the day I set Morton free. I walked to the neighborhood lake and carefully placed him on the shore. Morton didn’t hesitate to swim into the lake and that was the last time I had seen him.8.Why did the author take Morton home?A.To keep it as a pet.B.To protect it from danger.C.To make it a lucky symbol.D.To give it medical treatment.9.What can we learn about Morton?A.It is rare in the region.B.It has overprotective parents.C.It has been raised in a pet store.D.It grew in size after being brought home. 10.What do the underlined words “his original amphibian tank” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.A pet store.B.A new tank.C.Mother Nature.D.Mother’s bathroom sink.11.Which statement will the author probably agree with?A.Love me and let me go.B.Love me and love my turtle. C.Animals are humans’ best pets.D.Distance makes the heart grow fonder.The San Diego County Water Authority has an unusual plan to use the city’s San Vicente Reservoir(水库)to store solar power. The project could help unlock America’s clean energy future.Perhaps ten years from now, large underground pipes will connect the lake to a new reservoir built about 1100 feet higher. When the sun is high in the sky, California’s rich solar power will pump (泵水) water into that upper reservoir. When the sun goes down, the force of water would produce 500 megawatts (百万千瓦)of electricity for up to eight hours. “It’s a water battery!” says Neena Kuzmich, director of engineering for the water authority.The technology that San Diego puts forward is already in use at more than 40 sites in the US. Some of them were built during the 1970s to store electricity produced by nuclear power plants. Now, the need to store power from renewable sources is bringing this old technology back.Water batteries have many competitors, when it comes to storing energy. However, they have their own advantages. Water batteries are a proven way to store large amounts of power. The San Vicente project would store about as much electricity as the batteries in 50, 000 of Tesla’s Model 3 cars. They also don’t require hard-to-find battery materials. The biggest problem with them is that it is hard to find places to build them. They need a great deal of water, land to build two reservoirs and permission to damage the landscape.Kelly Catlett, director of an environmental organization, says, “We won’t support projects that build new damns on rivers and damage ecosystems. But San Diego’s plan looks like something different, because it uses an existing reservoir and doesn’t damage any streams.”12.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.What a water battery is.B.How the project will work.C.Why reservoirs are needed.D.What the clean energy future is. 13.What is the advantage of water batteries over their competitors?A.They can power Tesla’s cars.B.They can store renewable sources.C.The battery materials are easy to get.D.The technology applied is a new breakthrough.14.What is the biggest challenge for water batteries?A.Damage caused to nature.B.The shortage of solar power. C.Limited ability to store energy.D.Proper places for construction. 15.What is Kelly Catlett’s attitude towards the project?A.Unconcerned.B.Worried.C.Supportive.D.Doubtful.二、七选五English family names or surnames as we know today weren’t widely used until the Norman conquest (征服)of 1066. Before that time there weren’t enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. ____16____people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family, passed down from one generation to the next.Occupational(职业性的)Surnames. ____17____ Two common English surname, Smith and Wright, are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “-man” usually suggests a trade name, as in Chapman (shopkeeper).Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual, descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual’s appearance, like size, color or physical shape, for example, Little or Armstrong. ____18____ Goodchild or Wise are good examples of this.Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived, and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans, many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. ____19____ County names in Great Britain, such as Kent and Devon, have been commonly adopted as surnames.Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. ____20____A.As the country’s population grew,B.As a person entered under one surname,C.A rare name can tell you the family’s origin.D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush.E.They may also refer to an individual’s personal character.F.Many English surnames developed from a person’s job or trade.G.Thus, many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county.三、完形填空When I first met Sarah, all I noticed was her drool (口水) running from the corner of her mouth.

Over the next few days,Alberto and Mimi often found one or the other or both of their new neighbours walking around their own garden. It was terrible. To show how they felt, Alberto and Mimi went into their neighbours’ garden at night and broke all the flowers.The next morning one of the neighbours came to talk to Alberto. “Hey!” he said* “You came into our garden last night and broke all the flowers!” Alberto didn’t say anything but gave his neighbour a dirty look. “Now V m in trouble!” continued his neighbour. u They think I did it!” “Who are they?” asked Alberto. “My owners,of course,” replied the neighbour. “Owners!” said Alberto. “You have owners?”Alberto went to tell Mimi that the neighbours didn’t have staff but owners. “That explains everything,” said Mimi. “That’s why they’re so noisy and smellyand stupid We need to make their owners become staff.

In addition to this, less than one in fifteenshoppers are now regularly taking single-use carrier bags at the checkout Before the charge,only one in four shoppers took this bag while checking out. According to the researchers,the study showed that the charge made shoppers stop and think whether they really need to use a single-use plastic bag for their shopping.The results come from the very first study to examine the attitude and behaviour of the English population since the single-use carrier bag charge was first introduced almost a year ago. Results also showed an increase in support in England for the carrier bag charge since it was introduced,rising from 51% to 62%,as well as an increase in support for other possible waste reduction charges such as a charge on plastic water bottles.9Andy Cummins, a researcher of the study,said:“This study shows how the bag charge has greatly changed both public behaviour and attitude towards single-use bags. The report concludes with a valuable message for government and industry by confirming the public would be open to further economic measures (措施)to help reduce littering,such as deposit return systems to ensure bottles and cans remain in the recycling economy rather than the environment. ”28.What do most people think of the bag charge?A.

They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for HealthinBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs.

Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsCSam, I say to myself as I start across the bridge, you must stop these thoughts and start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon, Frightful.Life, my friend Ban do once said, is meeting problems and solving them whether you are an amoeba or a space traveller. I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they don't provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison now, I can't always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only road kill from in front of Mrs Strawberry's farm.I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades down the south face of the mountain range I'm on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corm and squash, bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I can't do that anymore.I'm back where I started from.Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the red-tailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, Cree, Cree, Cree, Car-ree.Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines at the university. “But it's the law,” he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception of Alice and me. That won't work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States when he took office.I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet.When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.8. What does this excerpt main describe?A. Delicate mental activities.B. Unique story environment.C. Everchanging story events.D. Complicated character relationship.9. What is Sam's first worry?A. How to get back quicklyB.

It's no surprise that her recognition can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year on her "Favorite Things" show. There's even a term for it: the Oprah Effect.Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 years old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people's stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world. She was on television by the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first.TIME magazine wrote, "People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding. Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah's eye. They, in turn, often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience.""I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are likely to fall if you' re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you' re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction" as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30.12. What does the Oprah Effect refer to in the first paragraph?A. the influence on talk show hostsB. the power of Oprah's opinions.C. the effect on a business.D. the audience of Oprah's talk show.13. What can be inferred about Oprah's television career?A. She must have been challenged a lotB. She gained fame as planned.C. It lives up to her parents' expectation.D. She once gave up on her choice.14. What message did Oprah give to Harvard graduates?A. Success comes after failure.B. Pushing physical limits makes no senseC. Aiming higher hurtsD. Failure is part of life.15. Which of the following best describes Oprah Winfrey?A. Friendly.B. HumorousC. Determined.D. Patient第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

In spite of a weekend of warnings,more than 50 000 computers at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus,computer security experts said on Monday.The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly on Monday by making computers fire off dozens of infected(被传染的)e-mails. Although the virus causes no serious damage to a computer,its effect was far reaching.To make matters worse,a similar virus called “Papa” was discovered on Monday. Papa is programmed to send out even more infected e-mails than Melissa.The Melissa virus comes in the form of an e-mail,usually containing the subject line“Important Message”. It appears to be from a friend. The body of the e-mail message says,“Here is that document you asked for...,don’t show it to anyone else.” Attached(附)to the message is a document file.Once the user opens that file,the virus digs into the user’s address book and sends infected documents to the first 50 addresses. E-mails from the Papa virus include an attached spreadsheet(电子数据文件)file. When the user opens that file,the virus sends 60 infected e-mails.The reason why this is spreading so fast is that you are getting it from people you know. You should never open documents or attachments from people you don’t know. People who get an unexpected e-mail with the “important message” subject line should delete it immediately and not open the message.【1】Thousands of computers were attacked by the Melissa virus _______________.A.covered with an important messageB.under cover of a message needing immediate attentionC.under the clothes of an important e-mailD.with a beautiful coat【2】The Melissa virus made a computer _____________________.A.receive tens of bad e-mailsB.fire at many sick e-mail messagesC.send out scores of infected messagesD.burn with a fire because of many infected e-mails【3】After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer ________________.A.was slightly damagedB.became entirely out of orderC.could not send out any e-mail any longerD.would have to be thrown away【4】If you opened an infected file by Melissa virus,the virus would ______________.A.damage the user’s address book at onceB.soon spread through the user’s list of addressC.let the first 50 addresses go out of the computerD.change the user’s address book in the computer4.Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds andsea spray. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out of doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hai r. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”“What’s that?” asked Norah.“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently,’ I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But...”【1】The underlined word “cycle” can be replaced by_______________.A.ride by bike B.driveC.walk D.go by ship【2】We can infer that________________.A.a lot of friends came to visit them in winterB.few friends came to visit them in winterC.friends came to visit them only for drinks and mealsD.Norah was a good cook【3】Which of the following is the best title ?A.A Good Place of Enjoying the SeaB.A Warm-hearted CoupleC.A Clever Way of EscapingD.A Visit to Norah【4】What is the hairdresser likely to continue to say in the end?A.If I am tired, I say, “Sorry, can you come next time?”B.If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How lucky! I’ve just come in!”C.If it’s someone I like to see, I say, “How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I’ve changed my mind.”D.If it is fine that day, I say, “I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place, anyhow.”二、其他1.When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in.

Ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. As timewent on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. In time, the group developed into five regulars: Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Robinson and Carlos Suarez.“In the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place,"says Michael, Ripton’s father. Thingsthen began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn't have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,”Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television ever day.Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr Jenkins, the family dog.The boys’ own families were puzzled by what was happening. “My mom didn’t believe me when I told her about the penthouse,”says Kindu.“She thought I was involved with something bad.”Juan Carlos’ mother, Esther Ruiz,wondered,"Why would the Rosens be doing this?"But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was getting responsible. The Rosens are the best".5. The Rosens bought Carlos some clothes so that .A. he would study harderB. he would feel comfortableC. he could go to schoolD. he could serve the family6. The underlined words “other needs”in Paragraph 2 probably refer to the needof .A. knowledgeB. textbooksC. cataloguesD.paperwork7. We learn from the passage that the Rosens .A. devoted themselves to fighting discriminationB. knew a lot about how to encourage childrenC. regarded friendship as the most important thingD. treated the black boys with great kindness8. The passage is constructed to confirm the fact that .A. parents are expected to treat other children as generously as possibleB. children ought to be encouraged to make friends with each otherC. all men are created equal, and there should be no racial divisionD. everyone is likely to be grateful for whatever kindness others have shownCIn some ways, the United States has made some progress. Fires no longer destroy 18,000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, or kill half a town of 2,400 people, as they did the sa me night in Peshtigo, Wisc onsin. Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977, it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire.But even with such successes, the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough.American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped. They have to be. The United States has twice Japan's population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in large numbers in fires but who, against popular beliefs, start very few of them.Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment.In the United States, most education dollars are spent in elementary schools. But, the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people; just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches.The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure. There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes. Some local building laws now require home sprinklers (喷水装置). New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped.9. The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that _____.A. they took no interest in new technologyB. they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC. they showed indifference to fighting firesD. they did not spend enough money on fire equipment10. It can be inferred from the passage that______.A. fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC. Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD. America's large population leads to more fires11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate.B. There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate.C. There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate.D. The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed.DThere are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on.Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber driver, or for that matter, taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.Dangerously wrong.A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, HusseinKanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in thedriver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people one Uber driver desc ribed as “generally negative”, watch out.Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyo ne weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. It is a welcome competitor here because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.Everyone, behave.12. In general, people think of Uber drivers as people who ______.A. they can take advantage ofB. they don’t have to be nice toC. are required to be on their best behaviorD. need better treatment from customers13. Negative driver-generated ratings mean that ______.A. customers have to wait for a longer time when using Uber carsB. drivers are too slow to pick up customersC.
