ADuring the Second World War, an old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s hometown.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”1. The old man’s sons joined the army because _______.A. they were all strongB. they had to doC. they wanted to be fullD. So they loved their country2. Which of the following is true?A. The old policeman would send the old man into prison.B. The old policeman thought Hitler was better than pigs.C. The old policeman hated Hitler, too.D. The old man found a friend at the police station.3. The policeman thought _______.A. Hitler was more foolish than pigsB. the old man insulted(侮辱) their hometownC. the old man had to say sorry to himD. the old man had to fight with HitlerBIn a village, the people were not rich. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a be tter future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4 . From paragraph I, we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD.were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. the frogs were easy moneyB. They needs money to buy medicineC. they wanted to please the visitorsD. the frogs made too much noise6. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. the crops didn’t do wellB.the pesticides were overusedC. the visits brought in diseasesD. there were too many insects7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB. Health is more important than moneyC. The harmony between man and nature is importantD. good old day will never be forgottenCWhat do women really want their Mr. Right in Britain. He should be good-looking, clean-shaven and drive a silver Mercedes. And, most important of all, he should be more than 178cm.Height is apparently more important than looks to women looking for Mr. Right, a survey claims. With blue eyes, short dark-brown hair and medium build, the ideal candidatewould appear to be the film star Jake Gyllenhaal. Looks aside, the perfect partner must also love pets and appreciate fine wine, theaters and nice restaurants. Coupled with this he should have a “wacky” sense of humor, accordin g to the study of 40,000 women by UK . Mr. Right wears smart jeans and a T-shirt, weighs exactly 80.5 kilos and is a doctor or a lawyer who owns a home in a good location.He has had three serious relationships, no more than six sexual partners, h as never been married and doesn’t have children.Also important is a university education: many women specify a man with a BA degree.Smokers and football fans were not popular.Only 1 percent of women questioned would date a man who hates pets. The majority ---66 percent ---want to find a partner who is fit. Even more---68 percent---are looking for a “wacky” sense of humor.David Brown, managing director of UK said, “ The female daters on our websites certainly know what they want and the y are not afraid to let the man know.”Fortunately for imperfect men, however, not all women go for the Gyllenhaal ideal. “ Cuddly lovers” were favored by 21 percent, while 16 percent would like to find a balding gent like Bruce Willis. Another 11 percent said their Mr. Right would be ginger, while 18 percent said they would prefer a man with grey hair. And 28 percent claimed they would not care how much a man would earn. Facial hair proved surprisingly popular: 28 percent of those surveyed admitted they like a goatee and 21 percent said they would like to meet a man with a moustache. Only 2 percent of women, however, said they wouldn’t mind dating someone who was less than 152 cm tall.8. In the eyes of British women, what is the most important for Mr. Right.A. sense of humorB. AppearanceC. heightD. job9. Which of the following is not considered the standard of Mr. RightA. Love for sportsB.MoneyC. AppearanceD.Good education10. In women’s eyes, Mr. Right should be .A. a lawyerB. a teacherC. a bossD. a clerk11. From the passage we know that .A. most women like “ cuddly lovers”B. all the women like the film star Jake Gyllenhaal.C. ordinary men seem to have no chance to find lovers.D. most women like men with a sense of humor.DWhen you were very young can you remember any of the bad habits you used to have? Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck your thumb(拇指). Of course, you do not do that any more, but yo u can surely remember your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older we get other bad habits. We can’t give them up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting; in our teens, it’s smoking; in middle-age, it’s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.12. Generally speaking, a child likes ______.A. sucking thumbsB.smokingC. biting nailsD. eating too much13. According to the passage, now we have good habits such as personal cleanliness, for which we benefit from _______.A. the social conditionsB. our mothers’ early trainingC. our friends’ kind helpD. some strict rules14. At the end of the story the writer says "And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all". Here what do you suppose the worst habit is?A. Reading.B. Playing.C. Lying.D. Walking15.Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?A. It is very difficult to get rid of our habits.B. At different ages people have different bad habits.C. Giving up smoking is as difficult as giving up other bad habits.D. Sucking thumbs is a young chil d’s bad habit第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

2015~2016学年度第二学期模块测试高一英语第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AChristmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. ―Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!‖ ―I can’t wait,‖ I said.The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.―Mom, may I talk to you for a second?‖―Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?‖ she asked.And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.―Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!‖ she said with a smile.―Then what am I getting?‖ I asked.She just smiled. ―You’ll have to wait and see.‖The next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...My camera! ―Thank you!‖ I said to both Dad and Mom.Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera —my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.1. The underlined phrase ―dropping hints‖ in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. talking oftenB. suggesting indirectlyC. sending presentsD. taking pictures2. Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.C. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.D. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gi ft for hers.3. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointmentB. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas EveC. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old cameraD. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Christmas gift as wished.B. Love is more important than gifts.C. A wonderful Christmas.D. Love can not be bought.BWhat are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious? Hoping that you’ll learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and you’re not really into it —or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you just went through a breakup.Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what we’re experiencing and help us know how to react. We sense our emotions from the time we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions with facial expressions or with actions like laughing orcrying. They feel and show emotions, but they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting like little kids do, we can identify（定义）what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want! It helps us build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts（冲突）better, and move past difficult feelings more easily.Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes pract ice. But it’s worth the effort.Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence, a skill that can help people succeed in life.5. How do young children react to emotions?A. With laughter and shouts.B. With signs and expressions.C. With facial expressions and actions.D. With gestures of different kinds.6. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _________.A. enables us to live in society more easilyB. lets people understand others betterC. brings about conflicts between peopleD. smooths away difficulties in our life7. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A science fiction.B. An advertisement.C. A science magazine.D. A television show.CEnglish is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. ―The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,‖ he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. ―All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before.‖ he said.8．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.A．remain widespread and importantB．be more important than any other languageC．lose its dominant positionD．die away in the near future9．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.A．more and more language users will choose EnglishB．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the pastC．English language will soon drop in dominanceD．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls10．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.11．What should be the best title for the passage?A．English Remaining in the Dominant PositionB．The Future of English? Who Knows?C．Opinions from Different ExpertsD．The English Language Snowball Rolling DownDInternational students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. But the business must directly provide a service for students. You could work at the bookstore, for example, but not for a company that is building something at the school. Also, a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.International students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. You can work until you finish your studies.International students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their school. But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. Examples include large medical bills, the shortage of financial (财政上的) aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.Students must also meet other conditions (条件). They must have studied at their American school for at least one year. Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus (校外的) job.International students who will be studying at graduate school can apply (申请) for some jobs before they come to the United States. A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.Some schools pay their assistants. Others provide free education in return. Many do both. Graduate assistants might teach, give tests, grade work, help with research and clean the offices. Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English. Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.International student offices at schools have to provide information on students each term for the Department of Homeland Security. Students who violate visa (签证) rules —for example, by working off-campus without permission —could be sent home.12. What can we learn according to the passage?A. All the international students can work for large companies.B. International students are able to work whenever they like.C. International students may be allowed to work outside the school when having financial trouble.D. International students must have studied at their American school for less than a year to get ajob.13. We may infer from the passage that ____.A. international students could apply for some jobs before coming to the USB. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for themC. international students cannot take their jobs before having language trainingD. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobs14. The under lined word ―violate‖ in the last paragraph probably means ____.A. ask forB. go againstC. forgetD. obey15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The rules about getting a job while studying in the US for international students.B. The reason why international students like studying in the United States.C. What international students should do while working in the United States.D. How international students could find jobs while studying in the US.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。

I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Okiahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register（收款台）,I said hello to an old couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, andwhen I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon after, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning, In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly ford shop-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment; so when I got home; I wrotethem a note to say thanks, I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.

2015—2016学年度第二学期高一英语中期考试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共40分）一．阅读理解根据短文内容选择最佳答案（每小题2分，共30分）AThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business w as to provide goods to the local people. He would open his sh op at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his s hop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his sho p while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m . and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pre tend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that ti me. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper r eturned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man w ho could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.1. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.C. He was too busy to have lunch every day.D. He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop.2. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A. Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop.B. Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then.C. Because the shop was closed at that time.D. Because he thought he could buy cheap things then.3. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _____ __.A. everything in his shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fighting in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop4. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. an honest man will be responsible for his actionC. you can’t believe in a dishonest man foreverD. trust can change a thief into an honest manBSunnyNowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we ha ve learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But tea chers have started to give too much homework. Anything in e xcess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of givi ng students a practice and not to overwork them.JaneWhat’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothin g else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at hom e will just make them memorize things but not put them into u se. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get i nterested to understand what they learn. The same trend cont inues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an i nterview.SallyIt is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be f ree in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired a nd we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.JohnsonIt is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do th at though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.5. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to stude nts’ physical and mental health?A. Sunny.B. Jane.C. Sally.D. Johnson.6. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give stud ents homework?A. Because they care more about student s’ metal health.B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.C. Because they will be punished if they don’t give homework.D. Because they want students to get interested in their studie s.7. What problem do the speakers talk about?A. Whether students should be punished without doing home work.B. What kind of homework should be given to students.C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.CA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to wor k for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three gro ups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group , and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at lea st one food from all four main groups. With all these food toge ther, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your bre akfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not hav e time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supp er with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tire d in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy andstrong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you e at more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Havi ng a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your h ealth.8. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D.

The underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. the shop that sells milk and buttera farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.DIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or wo rk well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you ru n a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and l ungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funn y story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very i ll. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and se rious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In otherwords, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleas ure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t sm oke more than one cigar ette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and sa id that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”11. The writer thinks that.health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC.medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money12.

From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the manb efore the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarett e a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn’t smoke so muchC. didn’t smokeD. began to learn to smoke15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a per son is ill.B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.C. The man thanked the doctor.D. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.二．七选五（每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

浙江省高一下学期期中考试英语试卷(带答案解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解With summer behind us and the fall and winter holidays just around the corner, now it seems as good a time as any to start planning the next family vacation.

Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in theUK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.4．How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?A．By analyzing satellites images.B．By keeping track of tiger sharks.C．By using a 360-degree camera.D．By carrying out restoration projects.5．What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?A．Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.B．Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.C．Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.D．Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.6．What is the main message conveyed in the passage?A．Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.B．Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.C．Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.D．Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.7．What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows? A．Concerned. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren’t very interesting, you’re thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could bethe difference between life and death.One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’t until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.“How times change!” Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book, exclaimed.“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”“Yet they aren’t perfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery.”“I’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added, “I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn’t easy to know if we’ve chosen the best one.Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!8．What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Signposts. B．Abilities. C．Settlements. D．Shelters. 9．What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?A．The market trade. B．The act passed in 1697.C．The discovery of the sandstone. D．The appearance of the Loyal Mail. 10．What does Lucy think of signposts?A．Popular. B．Outdated. C．Imperfect. D．Helpful.11．What does the author learn from signposts?A．To choose right tracks. B．To live a colorful life.C．To have a grateful mind. D．To offer practical choices.A study offers even more evidence of the harmful health effects of sugar. The research, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that diets higher in free sugars –a category that includes sugar added to processed foods and sodas, as well as that found in fruit juice and syrups—raise one’s risk of heart disease and stroke.The study relied on data about the eating habits of more than 110,000 people aged 37 to 73 in the United Kingdom, whose health outcomes were then tracked over about nine years. An author of the study, Cody Watling said sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables are not considered “free sugars” and were excluded from the analysis. The researchers estimated participants’carbohydrate(碳水化合物) intakes and then further broke that down by type of carbohydrate to focus on free sugars.Then the authors compared that to the participants’possibility of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. The people who were found to have the highest risk of heart disease or stroke consumed about 95 grams of free sugar per day, which accounts for 18% of their daily energy intake, Watling said.“Avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages is probably the single most important thing we can do,” said Walter Willett. He added that although there are some health benefits to drinking a small glass of orange juice occasionally, its sugar content means “a glass of fruit juice is the same thing as Coke.”Cody Watling said the study demonstrates that the types of carbohydrates people choose to eat may matter more than the total amount. “What’s really important for overall general health and well-being is that we’re consuming carbohydrates that are rich in whole grains,”he said, while “minimizing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.”12．What can we learn from the text?A．Free sugar refers to the sugar added to processed foods.B．Walting didn’t research sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables.C．The free sugar accounts for 18%of people’s daily sugar intake.D．Walting suggested us avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages.13．What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean in paragraph 2? A．Classify. B．Destroy. C．Analyze. D．Confirm. 14．Which section of a magazine is this text taken from?A．Health and life. B．Food and Culture.C．Science and Technology. D．Medicine Science.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To encourage people to refuse fruit juice.B．To ask people to say no to free sugar.C．To advise people to consume more types of carbohydrates.D．To warn people against diets with higher free sugars.二、七选五Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation; do they focus on the positives(a half- full glass)well-being.Why is thinking positively good for you?Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer. According to Professor Tali Sharot, being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful. 17Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.“ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says childpsychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.19Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you. 20 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.A．Learn to think positively.B．Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.C．The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.D．Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.E．However, no matter your starting point, everyone can learn to become more optimistic.F．Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism.G．This’s because you believe your goals are achievable, which encourages you to work towards them.三、完形填空Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age.

Without company, Agatha walked home along the quiet street. Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building, a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran ou t at her. “Good morning, lady,” the man said in a low voice, “I don't think you wish to die here!”“What do you want?” Agatha asked.“Your earrings (耳环). Take them off!”Agatha suddenly had a bright idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar (衣领) of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings, and then she quickly threw them on the ground.“Take them and let me go.” she said. The robber was uncertain. He saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace. He realized the necklace would cost more, so he said, “Give me your necklace.”“Oh, sir. It's not worth much. Please let me keep it.”“Stop talking rubbish. Quick!”With shaky hands, Agatha took off her necklace. As soon as the robber disappeared, she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to her home.The earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds ten shillings (先令).21. 【小题1】Agatha will never forget the night because ________.A. she was robbed of her earringsB. she was robbed but she fooled the robberC. she had such a nice time at the partyD. it is dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night22. 【小题2】Why did she try to protect her necklace? ________.A.

But wherever I go on the streets, I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations, waiters wearing Christmas hats; I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast;I get mess ages of Christmas’s best wishes from friends.I just got quite confused again, since when have Chinese beguncelebrating Christmas Day? What do these people celebrate it for, the birth of Chris? But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians, they don’t even know the origin of Christmas Day, and they celebrate it for no reason.I don’t celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since I’m not a Christian and nor am I a westerner. I don’t know what Christmas really means. Anyway I can’t get reasonable answers from my friends. Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival. Some of them think I’m an old-fashioned girl, a bigot who doesn’t appreciate the s pirit of Chinese cultural tolerance(宽容) and understanding of other cultures. Well, if it is about cultural tolerance, why don’t we ever celebrate the month of Muharram, or festivals of colours in India, or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico?I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations, but I don’t think this is what it’s about. People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones.Is it part of globalization(全球化)？Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas?24.【小题1】It can be inferred from the passage that the writer _________.A. is an old-fashioned girlB. doesn’t like festivals at allC. prefers western festivals to Chinese festivalsD. prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals25. 【小题2】According to the writer, many Chinese people celebrate Christmas _________.A. for no reasonB. for the birth of ChrisC. because most of them are ChristiansD. because they don’t like Chinese festivals26. 【小题3】The underlined word “bigot” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. a very brave personB. a very stubborn personC. a very careful personD. a very popular person27.【小题4】We can learn from the passage that _________.A. more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals nowB. Chinese people pay enough attention to our own festivalsC. no Christmas celebration means one lacks cultural toleranceD. the writer doesn’t like cultural exchanges and communications with other countries3.The biggest hamburger restaurant chain(连锁) in the world is McDonald’s. It started in 1955 with just one restaurant, but now has more than 20000 worldwide. There are more than 12000 McDonald’s restaurants only in the US. You can find them in 100 countries on six continents. There isn’t a McDonald’s in Antarctica, but I don’t suppose they eat hamburger s at the South Pole. When you eat at a McDonald’s restaurant you are joining the 35 million people who eat and drink at McDonald’s every day, and there are more than one million people who work there. McDonald’s has sold 100 billion hamburgers since it opened, and it sells more than 6.8 million pounds of French Fries every day.How do you like your hamburger restaurant? There are old McDonald’s ---- part of one restaurant in England is 600 years old. There are elegant(高雅的) McDonald’s ---- there is one on the Champs Elysees in Paris. There are cool McDonald’s ---- there is one in Hollywood. There are McDonald’s restaurants on ships and trains, in hospitals and zoos, in airports and in colleges.Clearly many people like the speed, hygiene(卫生) and cheapness of fast food restaurants. However, not everyone likes fast food. Some peoplequestion the nutritional value of the food; some people think the fast food causes too much waste and pollution. So the fast food business gives us plenty of food for thought, as well as convenient, affordable meals.28.【小题1】There are ________ McDonald’s restaurants outside the US now.A. about 20000B. about 8000C. about 12000D. about 3200029. 【小题2】How many people does each McDonald’s e mployees serve on average every day? _______A. About 35 billionB. About 100 billionC. About 35 millionD. About 600 million30. 【小题3】From the passage we can infer that ________.A. there are McDonald’s of different styles to meet different customersB. the writer encourage more people to eat hamburgersC. the writer thinks people should stop eating hamburgersD. hamburgers are of great nutritional value31. 【小题4】The underlined phrase“plenty of food for thought”in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. a lot of delicious foodB. a lot of food you can affordC. a lot of things to think aboutD. a lot of convenient food4.There are many people who say Thomas Edison invented the twentieth century. Although there are those who may disagree, yet Edison was one of the greatest inventors in America.Born in 1847 in Ohio, Thomas Edison attended school for only three months. After his teacher said that he could not learn, Edison’s mother decided to teach him at home. There he was allowed to study the subjects that most interested him. By age ten, Edison had built a science laboratory of his own.Edison got his first job at age twelve on the railway selling candy and newspapers. There he once saved a boy whose father was the boss of the railway station. In return the boss helped him a lot.In his late twenties, Edison built an “invention factory” where he and his business partners could devote all their time to inventing. After improving upon the telephone, Edison created the phonograph(留声机). Although Edison did not actually invent the light bulb, he did create an electric lighting system which led to its widespread use.Edison set up the first central electric power station in 1882, so New York became the first city in the world to have electric lights. This was the beginning of the modern world in which electricity became a way of life.The following year, one of Edison’s engineers discovered electrons(电子), which at last led to electronics. Without electronics, we might not have radio, TV, computers, or space travel. The rest of Edison’s l ife was spent making and improving inventions.Thomas Edison died at the age of eighty-four in 1931. Three days later, much of America dimmed(使暗淡) its lights in honor of the inventor—a man who had more impact (影响)on the development of present-day civilization than anyone else in history.32.【小题1】The passage tells us that ________.A. Edison didn’t like to study at schoolB. Edison invented the light bulb in his late twentiesC. even without electronics, we might have radio, TV, computers, or space travelD. New York was the first city in the world to have electric lights33. 【小题2】From the passage, we can infer that _________.A. Edison’s teacher thought Edison was not worth teachingB. Edison’s mother stopped Edison studying at schoolC. Edison didn’t invent many things in all his lifeD. Edison didn’t spend his life working on these inventions when he was old34.【小题3】Why did many Americans dim their lights when Edison died? ________.A. Americans wanted to save more energy.B. Americans were used to dimming their lights.C. Americans dimmed their lights in memory of the great inventor.D. Americans were made to dim their lights.35. 【小题4】The best title for this passage is ________.A. Edison, a Poor ManB. Edison, a Great InventorC. Edison Died at 84D. Edison and His Childhood二、未分类(共2题)1.Summer is the season of family travel. 36 Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds:How Far They Can Go —37 For young children, you should set a rule of always holding a parent’s hand. For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule.To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. What’s more, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily find them.How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the place you‘re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach? 38 Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.What to say —39 Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked (恐慌), so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens.Their Personal Information —Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address. 40A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places.C. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you?D. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down!E. It can be hard for people to help a lost child.F. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.G. It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.2.Once upon a time, there was a mother who lived alone with her son. They worked very hard all year round 61 they sti ll couldn’t live a comfortable life. They really looked forward to making their life better, but didn’t know how.One year, a merchant came to the village. He needed 62 (spend )some weeks there. The merchant was so kind-hearted that he made a 63 (decide) to help the poor mother and her son. He gave 64 some money from time to time. Because they 65 (help) by the merchant, they lived a 66 (good) life than before.But one day, the woman talked to her son, “The mer chant will leave sooner or later. After he leaves, we’ll live67 (poor) again. Since he lives alone and isn’t always at home, we can go and get all his money.” But the son 68 (immediate) refused to do so, saying, “Oh, no, Mom! We should never do that. He helps us a lot! We should be grateful to him instead of 69 (rob) him.” Having heard her son’s words, the woman gave up her terrible idea. When the merchant left, he took the son with him and taught him how to do business. And the son returned as70 successful merchant.三、完型填空(共1题)1.A“blogger” is a person who writes on an Internet website called a “blog”.

Painters(画家) can use it to draw beautiful pictures. If you like talking, you can talk to people from far away on the computer. You can watch movies and listen to music. Many children like playing games. Computers can help you.In the shop, someone buys something from you. You can put in the information about the sale. Then the computer can work on the information and tell you a report about shopping. In research (在研究领域), if you want to know about the moon, you can ask the computer and the computer can answer on the screen. In some large factories, you can’t see many people. Why not? Robots can do most of work instead of (代替) people. How does the robot work? The computer tells it what to do. This is our computer. Perhaps one day the computer can think and feel. Then it will make our life better and better.( ) 1.We can on the computer_______.A. not play gamesB. get real fruitsC. talk to people far awayD. find no information( ) 2.You can’t see many people in some large factories because_______.A. computers cannot do anythingB. some robots help themC. people all stay in the roomD. people work on the computer( )3.

Talk about the film or song with your friends, and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, ‚Our school has a foreign teacher. But I'm shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?‛When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, ‚Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?‛ These are good questions to start a talk. Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui wrote, ‚I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?‛Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day.

But on Thursday night she was told that she had to go to an important meeting the next day at the same time. ‚No one can be in two places at the same time. What shall I do?‛ she thought. But soon, she had an idea. At five to three on Friday afternoon, Miss Evans went to the lecture room. There were twenty students waiting there for her. ‚I'm sorry,‛ she told them, ‚I won't be able to give my lecture today.‛The students looked surprised. Miss Evans explained that she had an important meeting. ‚However,‛ she went on, ‚though I can't be with you myself, my voice can.‛Then she put a small tape recorder (录音机) on the desk, ‚You see, I've recorded my lecture and you can listen to it without me.‛ Miss Evans turned on the recorder and left..The meeting ended a little early. Miss Evans decided to go back to her students. She stood for a moment outside the lecture room, listening to her own voice. Then quickly, she opened the door. To her surprise, the room was empty. As she looked around, she saw a number of small recorders ‚listening‛ to her lecture!‚Well,‛ she thought, ‚If I can be in two places at the same time, why can't they?‛( )9.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it." Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other outer factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same things cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary(临时的) setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively（积极地）; you also have to act positively.If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.( )13. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _______.A. doesn't need improvingB. couldn't be improvedC. will be better some dayD. Will be worse in the future( )14. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.B. Your luck can be changed by your hard work.C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.( )15. The text is mainly written to advise you to _______.A. understand yourselfB. improve your lifeC. believe in yourselfD. change your normal way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空白处的最佳选项。
