The information in the table is mainly for students to _______.A. choose teachersB. do their homeworkC. take classesD. organize hobby groupsBRaised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hoursMonday8 —10 a. m. TECHNOLOGY Information Technology (IT)—Using the InternetIn this lesson, students learn how to surf the internet safely and effectively. There will also be information about using different search engines.10:00 a. m. DRAMAStudents learn the play that the teacher gave before class.

If the weather is good, the lesson may take place outdoors.2 — 4 p. m.SPORTSStudents learn about the skills in a certain sport by watching video to see real action from past games. And then, students will play a short match lasting 45 minutes.

(about 20 minutes)Drama –students have to learn a part for the next lesson (about 40 minutes).in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”4. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Spoke unhappily.C. Agreed willingly.D. Explained clearly.5. What made the author feel upset was ______.A. the feeling of being less than valuedB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the tiredness after long hours in labsD. the loneliness of riding the bus home6. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ______.A. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he was concerned about his son’s safetyD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My College Life.B. My Fa ther’s Secret.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. Riding Bus Alone.CAt home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine.I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dish es with strange names. As anexperiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence –“crossing over the bridge noodles”.I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal?8. How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?A. Confusing but amusing.B. Easy to understand.C. Boring and annoying.D. Accurate and helpful.9. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably mea ns ______.A. tasteB. lookC. stepD. risk10. The passage mainly deals with ______.A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishesB. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurantC. a comparison between Western food and Chinese foodD. the correct way to tr anslate the names of Chinese dishes into English11. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.A. examples and statementsB. comparison and conclusionC. causes and effectsD. time and descriptionDA cellphone is one of the few things that we hold close to our faces all the time, and yet it could possibly explode - this is what made the recent Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smart-phone accidents so shocking.According to technology news website The Verge, flawed（有瑕疵的）phone batteries might be to blame.Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it iscommon sense that the anode (the negative（负的）end of the battery) and the cathode (the positive end) should never touch. If they do, the battery will short-circuit（短路）, causing a powerful electrical reaction that can destroy the battery and cause a fire.This is why all lithium-ion（锂离子）batteries - the kind that can be found in many of our devices like tablets and cameras - have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phones broke, causing explosions.Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be able to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Samsung phones.The two “somehows”may sound random（随机的）and hard to explain. But they actually both come from the fact that phone producers have been pushing the limits of batteries to meet customers’demand for a longer battery life.According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell University, US, we have already achieved 90 percent of the battery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers’ demand that their devices get thinner has also given producers little choice but to try to put more power into thinner batteries.“The more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous it’s going to be,” Billy Wu, a lecturer at Imperial College London, told The Guardian.A thinner battery also means producers have to use thinner material for separators, and thinner material has more chance of breaking. 12. A separator layer is put in lithium-ion batteries in order to___________.A.ensure a longer battery lifeB.prevent a battery from short circuitingC.connect the anode and the cathodeD.reduce a certain electrical reaction13. What are the direct reasons for the Samsung phone explosions?A.Short circuiting and overheatingB.Pushing the limits of batteriesC.Overcharging and thinner batteriesD.Automatic charging and broken separators14. Lynden Archer’s comments indicate that ___________.A.demands for thinner cellphones are unreasonableB.lithium-ion batteries can’t hold much more power than that theydo nowC.producers can use 10 percent of a lithium-ion batteryD.new material for batteries is needed to meet consumers’ demands15. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the article?A.To describe problems facing cellphone producersB.To explain the reasons for the Samsung phone explosionsC.To teach us common sense when it comes to batteriesD.To warn us about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries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。

高二一月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.（10分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.（7.5分）From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物）sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员）more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时）, the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 31. _______ Yes, evenstudents of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 32._______ It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have enough time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.3. 33._______ Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.4. Study regularly. 34._______ Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performances on test.5. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 35. _______A. Be volunteer to raise questions.B. Make good use of your time in class.C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.E. They also let you know what you need to spend more time studying on.F. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.G. This is not necessary the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to.三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分）It was Mother’s Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson.

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二上学期英语月考测试10月满分（150）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man.I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the serva nt to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would become famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostlybecause .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will become much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your community27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how mu ch does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid becoming wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacksto .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions. DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studied used his or her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their incoming messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not havea habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones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。

After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same,” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”4．Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation?A．To share her home-grown fruit.B．To show hardship her parents faced.C．To better illustrate her speech’s topic.D．To explain the importance of motivators.5．What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success?A．Help from her teacher.B．Her life experience.C．Her native culture.D．Support from her parents.6．How did Brenda feel about the viewers’ response online?A．Proud.B．Sympathetic.C．Awkward.D．Moved. 7．What did Brenda convey to the young?A．Life is what you make it.B．Every cloud has a silver lining.C．Everyone deserves a good life story.D．Resources in hand decide your future.Are you patient? Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer? Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it’s becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins (企鹅) from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag (加标签于) photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies (群). They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, “citizen scientists” marked more images than the research team did in five years.Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, “When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do.”The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. Volunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, “We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers.”But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation? Dr. Simpson isn’t worried. “We get lots of people looking at the samethings, ”he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there’s no fooling the scientists.And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every “citizen scientist” will be credited.8．According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists?A．An engineer who works in a company.B．A university student who likes science.C．A businessman who invests in a new project.D．A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.9．What is a volunteer required to do?A．Publish his observation data by himself.B．Observe pictures and record his observation.C．Discuss his observation with other volunteers.D．Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.10．How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation?A．By working with volunteers.B．By using their own data.C．By identifying pictures and photos.D．By going through a peer review. 11．What’s Dr. Simpson’s attitude towards the volunteers’ observation?A．Objective B．Supportive.C．Negative.D．Doubtful.Five years ago, French navy officer Jérôme Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jiguet from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (标签) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who couldthen follow the birds—waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海啸). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龙卷风) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”12．Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Strange.B．Boring.C．Frequent.D．Dangerous.13．What is the function of the tags?A．Tracking natural disasters.B．Distinguishing bird species.C．Guiding researchers to islands.D．Reporting the birds’ locations. 14．Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To prove an assumption.B．To clarify a concept.C．To present a new topic.D．To make comparisons.15．What might be the best title for the text?A．How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters?B．Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters?C．How Does a Warning System Function?D．Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research?There are several kinds of workouts (锻炼) that are available to you, but it doesn’t mean that every workout is important. Depending on how you are living your life, certain workouts can prove to be more beneficial to you than others. 16 .Always warm up and cool down.Exercising safely means always spending a few minutes warming up at the start, and a few minutes warming down as you bring your exercise session to an end.

However, if you set yourself a target of running a marathon in six months, you could gradually build up your fitness so you'd be ready to run and you’d be ready to cross the finishing line.Stay hydrated (保持水分).There are many benefits of drinking plenty of fluids, but the key benefits when it comes to your fitness are: keeping your body at peak performance, delivering nutrients to your body and regulating your body temperature.

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校会考模拟英语（本试卷分第I卷和第II卷，考试时间90分钟，满分100分）第I卷（选择题满分60分）第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed.A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions, for nowadays there are stuntgirls too！1. Stuntmen are those who ______.A. often dress up asactors B. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives2. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumpingfrom fast moving trains3. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life isendangered D. his safety is generally all right4. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.5. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of goodquality. D. The cliff is too high.BA young man was getting ready to finish school. For a long time he had looked forward to getting a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well afford it, so he told him that was all he wanted. Then on the morning of his graduation , his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. Surprised, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements(安排), he received a phone telling him his father had passed away. He had to come home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him.When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌) dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret filled his heart.6. The underlined word “that” in P aragraph 1 means _____ .A. a carB. a boxC. a BibleD. a phone7. The young man was angry on the morning of his graduation because _____ .A. his father couldn’t afford a carB. he had to stay in his studyC. he thought he only got a BibleD. his father spent all the money8. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the last but one paragraph?A. The young man succeeded in his business.B. The young man lived with his father all the time.C. The young man decided to see his father.D. The young man set up his own family.9. Which word is the best to describe the young man’s feeling?A. boredB. regretfulC. determinedD. encouraged10. It can be seen from the passage that the young man _____ .A. came to know the truth at lastB. had to pay for the car himselfC. became interested in the BibleD. got angry with his father againCI spent three months volunteering with Volunteer Bolivia. It was at times annoying，scary and difficult，but also life-changing，satisfying and amazing. Because I had studied Spanish for a couple of years before I went out，I had just one week of classes at Volunteer Bolivia.Living with a family also helped my Spanish greatly and I felt immediately like one of their daughters. They were good friends from the beginning of my time there and I was looked after very well. I still had a lot of independence. The Volunteer Bolivia centre，with its café bar and cultural talks，was a meeting place for all the volunteers and I met some wonderful people from all over the world who were doing the same as me—giving something of themselves to a country which needs so much.My placement was in a caring centre for prisoners’ children from the Cochabamba prisons and from the very start I felt welcomed and needed. There I met some inspiring members who put so much of their heart into caring for those children who maybe had no one else to love them. The work itself was not only very hard but at times emotionally demanding，especially sending a group of two-year-olds back into the prison at the end of the day. Despite all this，I learnt a lot through the experience and now I’m more aware of the problems faced daily by many people in South America. The centre has very limited funding so they rely heavily on the work of volunteers，and any time people give is very valuable to them. Since returning to Britain I have kept in touch with the peopleI worked with and I’m trying to support them as much as possible. Volunteering through Volunteer Bolivia has changed my life and is an experience I will never forget.11．We can infer that the official language of Bolivia is most probably________.A．English B．SpanishC．French D．Italian12．Where did the author stay when she was in Bolivia?A．In a hotel.

D．The author’s experience in Bolivia had a great effect on her.DEven if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.1. Take picturesOne of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like, I can email it to you”. This c an be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event, email your new contacts to let them know about it.2. Eat alone in publicYou might feel uncomfortable eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less uncomfortable). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.3. Join a class, sports team, or clubYoga, dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one! These are all great places to meet new people, mainly because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.Tips:* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan, you can drop yours and join them. This will help you become a person who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!16. ______ can give you an excuse to start new connections.A. Eating by yourself in publicB. Taking pictures of othersC. Reading interesting booksD. Joining group activities17. When having meals, you’d better ____ if you want to make new friends.A. sit on your own in public placesB. start a conversation with those who have friends asideC. invite others to your apartment to eat togetherD. approach others to show friendliness18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joininga class?A. It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.B. It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.C. It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.D. It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.19. Which is the tip taken from the passage?A. Always ask for plans from your friends.B. Don’t give a negative response to any request.C. Never turn down an invitation from your new friends.D. Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.20. By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ____.A. why you should change when you move to a new cityB. why you should make new friends in a new cityC. how you can make new friends in a new cityD. how you can keep in touch with strangers第二部分英语知识运用（共两节；满分35分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

AAfrican SafariEssential information you need to know before booking your African Safari in Southern Africa –These tips will enhance the experience that you have.Things to Consider Before Booking an African Safari1) Book in AdvanceAfrican Safaris are now hugely popular and good safari camps often get booked out more than a year in advance, especially during the high season from July through to October.2) Choosing which game parkDifferent parks have different topography and weather patterns –this greatly affects animal movements at different times of the year. If you want to target certain species of animals, then some parks are better than others for certain species.3）Choosing which lodge or safari campA typical safari camp has between 10 and 20 beds, it is an intimate safari experience and very personalized. However, there are also hotels in some places, either inside or just outside a national park, which can sleep anything up to 300 people.4）GuidingThe quality, experience and knowledge of the game at any Safari camp is almost the most important factor to consider. Good guides can transform your experience from ordinary to exceptional.5）What’s the Best Time of Year to go on SafariUnderstandably as the seasons change so does the safari experience. It is highly advisable to find out the best time of year for the safari area that you are intending to visit. Prices will change dramaticallybetween the high and the low season, so good deals are to be had in the low season but it is important to know the difference, as your experience will be vastly different.6）The PriceGoing on safari is not cheap whichever way you do it, but the price range can be enormous. Unfortunately, safaris in most cases are a case of “you pay for what you get”.7）Fly-in safari or notUsing small charter planes is sometimes an absolute necessity for camps in remote areas, where road transfers are just not practical or viable. These flights can increase the overall cost of the safari substantially but generally they are worth it and allow you the flexibility to visit a variety of safari camps in different locations.8）Use an AgentAs you can see from all the information and options detailed above, there is great deal to understand and unless you go on safari several times a year it is impossible to know all this stuff.CONTACT US NOW TO HELP PLAN YOUR SAFARIWe are qualified travel agents who know this area intimately!Click on the below buttons for some fantastic safari ideas1. Which is a determining factor in choosing a Safari camp?A. Means of transport.B. Weather patterns.C. Game guides.D. Accommodation.2.Which of the following is FALSE about African Safari?A. The more money you pay, the b etter experience you’ll get.B. You can have a good price but same experience if you travel in low season.C. If you visit different camps in remote areas, flights may be unavoidable.D. All the parks don’t have the same species of animals.BHow many things can you see in the night sky? A lot! On a clear night you might see the Moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars.You can see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky. And you can see those objects in more and more detail.But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them with the biggest telescope in the world, on the clearest night of the year.That’s because they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious d ead stars called black holes.You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sunis a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat. But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.As the star cools, the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center. The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball. If the star was very small, the star ends up as a cold, dark ball called a black dwarf. If the star was very big, it keeps squashing inward until it’s packed together tighter than anything in the universe.Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble. That’s how tightly this dead star, a black hole, is packed. What pulls the star in toward its center with such power? It’s the same force that pulls you down when you jump – the force called gravity. A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything –even light. The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness.So the next time you stare up at the night sky, r emember: there’s more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes – the great mystery of space.3. According to the article, what causes a star to die?A. As it gets hotter and hotter, it explodes.B. It collides with other stars.C. It can only live for about a million years.D. As its gases run out, it cools down.4. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?A. Black holes are dead stars.B. There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.C. Black holes are invisible.D. Black holes have gravity.5.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A. It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.B. It is dark.C. It is smaller in size than a common star.D. It is cold.6. Why can’t y ou see light when you look at a black hole?A. For most black holes are so far away.B. As the star’s gases burn, it stops giving off heat and light.C. As a star cools, its outer layers pull in toward its center.D. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.CIn life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes,and still get sick.The bottom line is that life is not fair.That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life’s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.For example, my first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would.I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married. I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life. So I did n’t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage. But that wouldn’t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.When we are faced with life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.7. We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ______.A. life doe sn’t often turn out the way we expectB. the author thinks life should reward us for our effortsC. unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enoughD. people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes8. The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage to ______.A. complain about the unfairness of her life and marriageB. tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily marriedC. express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from lifeD. show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals9. When we encounter unfairness in life, the author suggests we ______.a. do nothing but accept themb. be confident with ourselvesc. keep doing what we should dod. find out what has gone wrongA. abB. adC. bcD. cd10. The author wrote the article mainly to ______.A. share her experiences of unfairness in lifeB. tell us how to deal with life’s seeming unfairnessC. tell us that life has beautiful blessings in store for usD. explain why life seems neither fair nor straightforwardDAmericans are not famous for self-deprivation(剥夺), but experts say we consistently fail to get a good night's sleep. The recommended daily requirements should sound familiar: eight hours of sleep a night for adults and at least an hour more for adolescents. Yet 71 % of American adults and 85% of teens do not get the suggested amount. “Sleep is sort of like food.” says Robert Stickgold, a cognitive (认知的）neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School But, he adds，there's one important difference: “You can be quite starved and still alive, and I think we appreciate how horrible that must be. But many of us live on the edge of sleep starvation and just accept it”Part of the problem is that we are so used to being sleep deprived and coping with that condition that we no longer notice how exhausted we really are. In 2003, sleep expert David Dinges at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine tested the effects of restricting sleep to eight, six, or four hours a night for two weeks. During the first few days, subjects sleeping less than eight hours admitted to being tired and lacking alertness. But by Day 4, most people had adapted to their new baseline sleepiness and reported feeling fine— even as their cognitive performance continued to decline- Over time, they became so exhausted that they had difficulty concentrating on even the simplest tasks. “The human brai n works only capable of about sixteen hours of wakefulness a day，” says Dinges. “When you get beyond that, it can't function as efficiently accurately or well.”In the real worlds people overcome their sleepiness by drinking coffee or taking a walk. But then they find themselves nodding off in meetings or worse, behind the wheel, Those short snatches of unconsciousness are what researchers call microsleep, a sure sign of sleep deprivation, “If people are falling asleep because ‘the office was hot' or ‘the meeting was boring,'that's not coping with sleep loss.I would argue that they're affecting their productive capability, says Dinges.What most people don't realize is that the purpose of sleep may be more to rest the mind than to rest the body. Sleep helps strengthen memory, improve judgment, promote learning and concentration, boost mood, speed reaction time and sharpen problem solving and accuracy. According to Sonia Ancoli-Israel, a psychologist at the University of California who’s done extensive studies in the aging population, lack of sleep mayeven resemble the symptoms of dementia (痴呆). In recent findings, she was able to improve cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's simply by treating their sleep disorder. “The need for sleep does not change a lot with age,” says Ancoli-Israel, but often because of illnesses and the medications, “the ability to sleep does.”If you lack sleep, there’s plenty you can do to pay back your sleep debt. For starters，take your mom's advice, and get to bed early. If you can’t manage to sleep longer at night, try to squeeze in a midday nap. Timothy Roehrs, director of research at the sleep Disorders and Research Center at Henry Ford Hospital advises against oversleeping on weekend mornings to make up for a workweek of deprivation; later rising can make it even harder later to get a full night s rest.According to Dinges, the most common reason we deprive ourselves of sleep is work. But consider that in giving up two hours of bedtime to do more work, you are losing a quarter of your recommended nightly sleep and gaining just 12% more time during the day. What if you could be 12% more productive instead? If mental sharpness is your goal, the answer is clear: stop depriving yourself, and get a good night's sleep.11. We can learn from Dinges' experiment that .A. people tend to ignore the decline in mental sharpnessB. people get easily used to lack of sleep in less than 4 daysC. sleeping less than 8 hours won't cause physical discomfortD. people can keep themselves awake for only sixteen hours12. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that a person who is sleep deprived .A. remains productive by drinking coffee or taking a walkB. fails to cope with sleep loss through nodding offC. engages in microsleep to maintain productivityD. fells asleep due to the high temperature and boredom13. According to psychologist Sonia Ancoli-Israel, .A. the elderly don't need as much sleep as they used toB. the ability to sleep is not affected by medicationsC. sleep deprivation may look like the symptoms of dementiaD. people with Alzheimer’s cannot be treated for sleep d isorders14. What's the author's attitude to people’s acceptance of sleep deprivation?A. Supportive.B. AmbiguousC. CautiousD. Worried15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?A. To explain the reasons why people accept sleep starvation.B. To urge people to catch up on lost time for a good night's sleep.C. To show the common phenomenon of sleep loss in America,D. To raise people’s awareness of the hidden sleep deprivation.第二节（共5小题；每题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。

AThe Boy Made It!One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t los e too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lost.B. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyesD.He caught a cold.22. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing.D. He built a snow cave.23. On Tuesday, Nicholas ______.A. returned to his shelter safelyB. was saved by a searcherC. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was24. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ______.A. did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls’ TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was veryhard-working【答案】21.A22.D23.B24.A23.B细节理解题。

ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better p lan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means“______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails • You always take your phone to the bathroom with you• You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购；订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all –still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full ofjokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C.

According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife". I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home？How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your familyhave been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"？A. Satisfied．B. Proud．C. Regretful．D.
