I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now. Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going,unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners-people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing. I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice. As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I'm afraid. The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because hewas always alone. 41. The writer doesn't like London because she ______. A. is not used to the life there now B. has lived there for seventeen years C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there 42. Where do people usually meet their friends in England? A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant. C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub. 43. The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______. A. a taxi B. the money C. a bomb D. public transport 44. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he______. A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France C. was from a typical French family D. didn't like the British idea of family。

Some think that it is a stage to show their talents of art, contributing to their social experience and build up their confidence. What’s more, it’s good for their overall development.However, other students hold the different opinion / view that the teenagers are just imitating others rather than showing somethng original and that they don’t have their own style. Besides, some are too lost in pursuing stars to concentrate on their studies and some of them are in danger of being cheated by others.读写任务:One possible version:A kind man cut a cocoon open in order to lessen/ ease/ relieve the pain of a butterfly when he saw it struggling out of the coccon, only to find that it could never fly because of his help.The story sets me thinking a lot. Our life is more or less like this. Sometimes, struggles or obstacles in our life are a must for our growth. It is these struggles or hardships that increase our willpower and contribute to our success. Without these trials, we could never achieve our life goal just as the butterfly did in the story.Nowadays, with only one child in most families, parents do whatever they can to satisfy the child’s needs and even do for him what should be done on his own. Consequently, the child is unable to look after himself without his parents’ presence. Too much care from parents rids children of their chances to grow strong by conquering obstacles. Just as a saying goes, “Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm”,If I were a parent, I would first keep him well informed that life is never easy and that he should be ready to face any challenges. Besides, I would expose him to the hardships in life instead of protecting him from difficulties, providing them with chancesto fight for his own bright future by overcoming difficulties.。

AA girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere, unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”But the doctor knew that her family was well off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.”Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.高二英语第1页共8页1. If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?A.Patients with a lot of money. B.Patients suffering from cancer.C.Patients without many days left. D.Patients living alone.2. What can we learn from the passage?A.The doctor told the old man the truth.B.The old man’s children were wealthy.C.The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.D.The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.3. What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?A.The girl’s love and great care.B.The pleasure of helping people in need. C.The doctor’s medical treatment D.His children’s progress in life.BWe know the famous ones--the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells --but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn't we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented "what" , however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to Mclean, "When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. "Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention," said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major. "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive." Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?4. By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper", the author indicates that countless inventions are_______.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous高二英语第2页共8页5. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to _____.A. add color and variety to students' campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper's inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention6. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was .A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producerB. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures7. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built —in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?CDisease, poverty, hate, love-Charles Dickens’ stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens’ legacy(遗产)was far greater than just “great-literature”.February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer’s birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Let’s take a look at two of them.A White ChristmasDickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas” — not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day—unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.Many people believe that Dickens’ popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”.In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”“Dickens” poverty(贫穷)Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London. He helped popularize the term “red tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”.高二英语第3页共8页8. The article is mainly about____________A. a brief introduction to Charles DickensB. Charles Dickens’ influence on the worldC. the characters in Charles Dickens’ storiesD. Charles Dickens’ achievements in literature9. Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”?A. Because he created both religious and culture festival.B. Because all his novels have something to do with Christmas.C. Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.D. Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.10. According to the article, the phrase “red tape” refers to _______.A. rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a taskB. a situation in which poor members of society are hurt.C. conflict between people in power and weaker peopleD. pointlessly time-consuming official procedures11. We can learn from the passage that______.A. Dickensian is widely used to describe the ChristmasB. Charles Dickens’ novels reflect th e true life at his ageC. Every person can take three days off for ChristmasD. The theme of Charles Dickens’ stories is about povertyDHybrid cars (混合动力车)are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery electric motor to provide electric power.There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don’t have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.12. Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars .A. have large engines to deal with acceleratingB. have conventional brakes to slow down the carC. have electric power to assist when neededD. have no energy consumption when stopping高二英语第4页共8页13. In regenerative braking, .A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the batteryB. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the carC. the battery charges itself when the car is acceleratingD. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically14.

Some people think the reason is clear-----they eat too much. But the scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910.We can find that people were thinner than today, but they ate more food than us. In those days people worked harder, walked more, used machines less and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies, such as a study of 3545 London office workers in 1979, report that fat people eat less than thin people.Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:The more the men run, the more their body fat lost.The more they run, the more food they need.Those who run the most eat the more, and lose the most body fat.6)What kind of problem do many adult Americans have?(C)A They are too thinB They work too hardC They are too fatD They lose too much body fat7) According to the passage, how many of them will have weight problem?(D)A 30B 50C 100D 1508)Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weightproblem”?(C)A Yes, there is so much evidence.B Of course there is some evidence to show it is true.C There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this idea.D We don't know because the information is not given.9) The Americans of 1910_____.(A)A ate more food and had more activities.B ate less food but had more activities.C ate less food and had less physical exercise.D had more weight problems.10) What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us?(A)A Fat people eat less food and are less active.B Fat people eat more food than thin people and are more active.C Fat people eat more food than thin people but are less active.D Thin people run less, and have need less food to eat.Passage 3What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother’s blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill insurgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.11. Which of the following statements is not true? (B)A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D. There are no connection between mother’s nervous systems and her unborn child’s.12. A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that ____.(A)A. she is emotionally shockedB. she has a good knowledge of inheritanceC. she takes part in all kind of activitiesD. she sticks to studying13. According to the passage, a child may inherit____.(C)A. everything from his motherB. a knowledge of mathematicsC. a rather general ability that we call intelligenceD. her mother’s musical ability14. If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will ____.(D)A. surely become musicianB. mostly become a poetC. possibly become a teacherD. become a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?(A)A. Role of Inheritance.B. An Unborn Child.C. Function of instincts.D. Inherited Talents.Passage 4The Enlightenment and the romantic movement of modern European culture stimulated interest in myth,both through theories about myth and through new academic disciplines. Although the Enlightenment emphasized the rationality of human beings, it directed attention to all humanexpressions, including religion and mythology. Enlightenment scholars tried to make sense of the seemingly irrational and fantastic mythic stories. Their explanations included historical evolutionary theories—that human culture evolved from an early state of ignorance and irrationality to the modern culture of rationality—with myths seen as products of the early ages of ignorance and irrationality. Myths were also thought to result from euhemerism, that is, the divinizing of the heroic virtues of a human being. More important than any one theory of mythology, however, was the development of systematic disciplines devoted to the study of mythology. In new fields such as social and cultural anthropology and the history of religions, scholars were forced to come to terms with myths from earlier historical periods outside the Western tradition, and they began to relate the study of myth to a broader understanding of culture and history.The Romantic Movement turned to the older Indo European myths as intellectual and cultural resources. Romantic scholars tended to view myth as an irreducible form of human expression: For them, myth, as a mode of thinking and perception, possessed prestige equal to or sometimes greater than the rational grasp of reality.Myth had always been part of classical and theological studies in the West, but during and after the Enlightenment, the concern for myth, revived with new intensity, could be detected in almost all the newer university disciplines—anthropology, history, psychology, history of religions, political science, structural linguistics. Most current theories of myth emerged from one or more of these disciplines.16. In the first sentence,the word“discipline”is closest in meaning to the word_____.(A)A. subjectB. ruleC. studyD. research17. Which of the following is characteristic of the Enlightenment?(B)A. Attention to all human expression.B. Rational thinking.C. Systematic study of human culture.D. Broad understanding of culture and history.18. According to historical evolutionary theory,_____.(B)A. myths reflect an age of ignorance and irrationalityB. myths are irreducible form of human expressionC.myths possess prestige equal to the rational grasp of realityD.myths are based on stories though se emingly irrational19. When scholars began to study myths from other cultures,_____.(A)A. they found myths were rational storiesB. they got a better understanding of mythsC. they found they were better than Western mythsD. they began to understand human culture and history20. Before the Enlightenment, the study of myths was closely related with_____.(D)A. anthropologyB. psychologyC. mythologyD. theologyIV Note-writing (共10分)Write on the ANSWER SHEET a note accompanying a present in no less than 60 words based on the following situation:Next Saturday is your friend Peter’s birthday.

Some people think the reason is clear-----they eat too much. But the scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910.We can find that people were thinner than today, but they ate more food than us. In those days people worked harder, walked more, used machines less and didn't watch TV.Several modern studies, such as a study of 3545 London office workers in 1979, report that fat people eat less than thin people.Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:The more the men run, the more their body fat lost.The more they run, the more food they need.Those who run the most eat the more, and lose the most body fat.6)What kind of problem do many adult Americans have?(C)A They are too thinB They work too hardC They are too fatD They lose too much body fat7) According to the passage, how many of them will have weight problem?(D)A 30B 50C 100D 1508)Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weightproblem”?(C)A Yes, there is so much evidence.B Of course there is some evidence to show it is true.C There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this idea.D We don't know because the information is not given.9) The Americans of 1910_____.(A)A ate more food and had more activities.B ate less food but had more activities.C ate less food and had less physical exercise.D had more weight problems.10) What has modern medical and scientific research reported to us?(A)A Fat people eat less food and are less active.B Fat people eat more food than thin people and are more active.C Fat people eat more food than thin people but are less active.D Thin people run less, and have need less food to eat.Passage 3What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible. How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems. Even the blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotional shock to the mother will affect her child, because it changes the activity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Any chemical change in the mother’s blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not see how a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. It is certain that no one inherits a knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiar structure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make it comparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorous emotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. The same factors, in other circumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skill insurgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill. Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.11. Which of the following statements is not true? (B)A. Some mothers try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects during their pregnancy.B. It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C. The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D.

Although the Enlightenment emphasized the rationality of human beings, it directed attention to all humanexpressions, including religion and mythology. Enlightenment scholars tried to make sense of the seemingly irrational and fantastic mythic stories. Their explanations included historical evolutionary theories—that human culture evolved from an early state of ignorance and irrationality to the modern culture of rationality—with myths seen as products of the early ages of ignorance and irrationality. Myths were also thought to result from euhemerism, that is, the divinizing of the heroic virtues of a human being. More important than any one theory of mythology, however, was the development of systematic disciplines devoted to the study of mythology. In new fields such as social and cultural anthropology and the history of religions, scholars were forced to come to terms with myths from earlier historical periods outside the Western tradition, and they began to relate the study of myth to a broader understanding of culture and history.The Romantic Movement turned to the older Indo European myths as intellectual and cultural resources. Romantic scholars tended to view myth as an irreducible form of human expression: For them, myth, as a mode of thinking and perception, possessed prestige equal to or sometimes greater than the rational grasp of reality.Myth had always been part of classical and theological studies in the West, but during and after the Enlightenment, the concern for myth, revived with new intensity, could be detected in almost all the newer university disciplines—anthropology, history, psychology, history of religions, political science, structural linguistics. Most current theories of myth emerged from one or more of these disciplines.16.
