They can't do what they don't want their children to do．CHuman beings have used tools for a very long time. In some parts of the world you can still find tools that people used more than two million years ago. They made these tools by hitting one stone against another. Inthis way, they broke off pieces from one ofthe stones. These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side. People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood. Human beings needed to use tools because they did not have sharp teeth like other meat eating animals, such as lions and tigers. Tools helped people to get food more easily.Working with tools also helped to develop human intelligence. The human brain grew bigger, and human beings began to invent more and more tools and machines. The stone chip was one of the first tools that people used, and perhaps it is the most important. Some scientists say that it was the key to success of mankind.Since 1960 a new kind of tool has appeared. This is the silicon chip (硅芯片). It is smaller than a finger nail, but it can store lots of information. It is an electronic brain. Every year these chips get cleverer, but their size gets smaller, and their cost gets less. They are used in watches, calculators and intelligent machines that we can use in many ways. In the future we will not need to work with tools in the old way. Machines will do everything for us. People will have plenty of spare time. But what will they do with it?Human beings used stone chips for more than two million years, but human life changed very little in that time. We have used silicon chips for only a few years, but life is changing faster every day. What will life be like twenty years from now? What will the world be like two million years from now?7. From paragraph 1, we can know ________.A. why early human beings cut skin from dead animalsB. how early human beings discovered the toolsC. what early human beings used the tools forD. what food early human beings stored8. The stone chip is thought to be the most important tool because it ________.A. was very important to the development of mankindB. led to the invention of machines in the early timeC. developed cooking abilities of mankindD. was one of the first tools of mankind9. The silicon chip is mentioned in the passage to ________.A. show the changes of toolsB. introduce a new kind of toolC. give an example of using toolsD. compare the effects of two kinds of tools10. At the end of the passage the author seems to suggest that life in future is ________.A. out of orderB. less colorfulC. hard to predictD. full of meanings二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Sometimes even though you're paying attention in class， studying for tests， and doing your homework， certain classes seem toohard． Although you may hope that things will get easier， most of the time this doesn't happen．What does happen for many people is that they work hard as they fall further behind．___11___If you need extra help， the most important thing to know is that there's noghint embarrassing about it． No one is expected to understand everything， and people have very different learning styles．___12___He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly． But what if you don't feelcomfortable with your teacher？ If so，you can speak to other teachers directly．___13___You might also be able to get some help from other students． If there's a good student， think about asking that person if you can study together．___14___However，keep in mind that this might not get you the results you need．Another option for extra help is a tutor， either on weekends， or in the evenings．You'll need to tell your parents about this because it costs money to hire a tutor． Tutors sometimes come to your home， but there are also tutoring centers across the country．___15___Tutors help review and further explain things taught in the classroom． The advantage of having a tutor is that it gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly and work at your own pace．A．Naturally， this makes them hate a class and everything to do with it．B．Working hard means you can succeed．C．The first place to turn for help is your teacher．D．This might help because you'll hear the information from your peers．E．However， you may be refused in most cases as no one wants to help you．F．Sometimes it just helps to have someone new explain something in a different way．G．A tutor may have broad knowledge of many things or may be trained in just one subject．then， I remembered the____33____woman． I ran as fast as I could until I finally crossed that finish line． I had just____34____my first race!

The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案：C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案：C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案：C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案：C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

In the past, communication was limited to face-to-face interactions or letters. Now, with the advent of the internet and social media, we can connect with people across the globe in an instant. This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives. Spending toomuch time online can lead to social isolation, as people may prefer virtual interactions to real-life ones. Additionally, the constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.Another issue is the potential for online fraud and cybercrimes. With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks. They believe that with proper education and awareness, we can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.Here is an example of how technology has transformed our daily lives:munication: Before the internet, if you wanted to talk to someone in another country, you would have to wait days for a letter to arrive.

People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before.

After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming; your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply.

Sometimes the cars can hardly move for a long time. The terr ible traffic is caused by poor road and the government’s ability to deal with so many cars on the road at the same time.With more Chinese people buying cars every day, the problem seems to only be getting worse. But a design company called Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment has a possible solution: the super bus.The super bus will carry up to 1,400 people. It’ll travel on a rail system that will be raised above the roads, so cars can drive under it. The bus will run on electricity and solar power, creating far less pollution than that from the cars.Beijing authorities(当局) haven’t decided whether to create railway for the super bus all over the city. But they are willing to give it a test the super bus with passengers.According to the government, Beijing might have had five million cars on the road by the end of 2010. So it seems to be necessary to start taking the super bus instead soon.( )36. What cause the terrible traffic in Beijing?A. The busesB. The roadsC. The polution( )37.

The fourth paragraph mainly talks about_______.A. the problems of the super busB. the test drive of the super busC. the reasons of the terrible traffic( )40. The passage mainly talks about ______ in Beijing.A.the trafficB. the driversC.the roadBThe cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time or money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.A visit to doctor’s office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. For some people it is impossible to pay for the medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are over-paid. Most doctors however, disagree. They say that they are required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition（学费）. Because this money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need a lot of money for their work. So, they charge people high prices for medical care.Therefore, it is possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low cost tuition.( )41. Some people do not have their medical care they need because_______.A. they don’t want to spend much money on it.B. they don’t thinks it necess ary to have medical careC. they have n’t got enough money to pay for it( )42.

One way to lower the cost of medical care would be ________.A. not to see a doctorB. to pay doctors less moneyC. to let medical students have free or partly free medical education( )44. The main idea of the article is that______.A. a visit to a doctor’s office may cost as much as $15to $50 in USAB. the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medicalcareC. medical care in USA costs a lot of money because doctors want to be rich( )45. The cost of medical care in the USA is very high. What does the writer think about it?A. He agrees that doctors are overpaid.B. He thinks it a big problem and suggests a way to settle it.C.

高中英语学习材料madeofjingetieji第一学期高一年级英语期中考试试卷第一部分：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）ALife without friends is like life without the sun. It is very common for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana . she is a rich and proud girl . She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless."Never mind," Vivien said, "I'm used to it."After school, I tried to catch up With Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, "Go and join your 'dear' Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones."For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, "I'm really sorry about what I did. I'm a spoiled (宠坏的) girl, but I also need good friends just like you. Would you please forgive (原谅) me?" Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled. From then on, Diana, Vivien and I have been best friends.1. The writer was angry with Diana ______.A. because she was too good for anyoneB. so Diana walked awayC. though she asked the writer to forgiveD. when Diana refused Vivien's sandwich2. According to the passage, it is clear that ______.A. Diana didn't like sandwichesB. Diana and the writer had been good friendsC. Vivien didn't want to make new friends at allD. the writer forgot her old friends after she had new ones3. Vivien's saying "I'm used to it" shows that ______.A. she liked to be refusedB. Vivien used to be rude to othersC. someone refused to give her thingsD. some people were rude to her before4. Diana asked Vivien and the writer to forgive because ______.A. she realized she was wrongB. they didn't spend much time with herC.

The reading is mainly about ______.A. the mistake among the three friendsB. three friends at a schoolC. two best friends at a schoolD. the trouble between Diana and VivienBWelcome to Death Valley. The very name of this national park in eastern California might fill some people with dread, but you’re not afraid. You’re just out enjoying the desert sunshine. Besides, there’s nothing out here but some rocks.Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And in the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail (痕迹), as if the rock had been pushed along in the dirt.So who is moving the rocks? Nobody. It was nearly 100 years ago when these unusual “sailing stones” were first reported. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. One early explanation was that winds were moving the stones. Other explanations have included animals, and, of course, aliens (外星人).Until the 1990s, one widely held theory was that the rocks were stuck in sheets (片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. (Death Valley does get cold enough for ice to form on some winter nights.) However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley — but not that strong.Then, in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz came up with a new theory. He suggested that in the winter, thick ice forms around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw (解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along, leaving trails behind them. Lorenz put his theory to the test in his own kitchen. He dropped a rock into a dish, added a little water, and stuck the dish in his fridge. Later, he took out the rock and placed it in a dish of water with sand at the bottom. Sure enough, with just a breath, Lorenz was able to send the rock moving across the water —leaving a trail in the sand as it moved.Has Lorenz solved the mystery of the sailing stones at last? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anyone else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe aliens are responsible after all.6. The underlined word “dread” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_____”.A. angerB. fearC. surpriseD. excitement7. According to the theory in the late 20th century, the rocks were probably moved by _____.A. the iceB. animalsC. aliensD. the wind8. What did Ralph Lorenz find?A. Water helped the rocks in Death Valley move.B. The rocks in Death Valley couldn’t move by themselves.C. Death Valley could get cold enough for ice to form.D. The wind in Death Valley could reach a speed of 100 mph.CHow do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience? At a time when more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, some are turning to fairy tales (童话).It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the stories, they learn to care about others' feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In The Princess and the Pea (《豌豆公主》), a poorly dressed girl, who insists she is a princess, is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In Pinocchio, a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.Teaching values is the reason most often given for encouraging children to read stories. These fairy tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that are accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.9. Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children?A. Fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.B. Fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.C. Good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.D. They can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.10. The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children _____.A. are given a difficult testB. are going to lie to their parentsC. wish to be a princess or princeD. make friends with foreigners11. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. introduce some fairy talesB. show how fairy tales help children shape valuesC. discuss how to improve human relationshipsD. talk about the history of fairy talesDSequoyah was born in the 1770s and grew up in the Cherokee village of Tuskeegee, Tennessee. He was skilled at working with silver jewelry (首饰). One day Sequoyah was advised to put his name on the silver jewelry he made. However, he could not write his name because Cherokee was only a spoken language. Sequoyah decided to learn how to write his name, so he asked one of his customers (顾客) to teach him, who knew English very well. From that time on, Sequoyah signed (签名) his work in English.Then Sequoyah realized that a written language was necessary for his people. In 1809, he started by making small drawings, and then he experimented with creating a letter for each sound in the Cherokee language. First, Sequoyah picked out all the sounds in the Cherokee language. Then he gave each sound a symbol. Unlike English, however, no two sounds shared the same symbol.Sequoyah's work was difficult and took him a lot of time. Worse, those around Sequoyah didn't understand what he was doing with all those strange symbols. Some raised doubts about his work. However, Sequoyah didn't stop working. In 1821, Sequoyah completed his alphabet (字母表). Each symbol in the alphabet symbolized one of the eighty-five sounds in the Cherokee language. By saying the name of each symbol, a person could read the spoken word.Sequoyah taught the symbols to his six-year-old daughter, Ayoka. One day, they went to visit the elders of the Cherokee Nation. Sequoyah asked Ayoka to leave while he wrote down what the elders said. When Ayoka returned, she read out loud what Sequoyah had written. The elders were stunned. Ayoka was able to repeat their words without being present! Sequoyah's alphabet was soon accepted as the written language of the Cherokee Nation.12. Sequoyah learned to sign his work _____.A. so that he would become famousB. when he moved to a Cherokee villageC. with the help of one of his customersD. in order to save the Cherokee language13. What can we learn about Sequoyah's alphabet?A. It was the same as the English alphabet at first.B. It uses at least two letters to symbolize a sound.C. It was created in the early eighteenth century.D. It is made up of eighty-five letters.14. The underlined wo rd “stunned” in the last paragraph probably means “_____”.A. surprisedB. thankfulC. regretfulD. worried15. What would be the best title for the text?A. The Cherokee NationB. A gift beyond priceC. A popular languageD. Fine silver jewelry第二节:七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Ways to make a great first impressionYou’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.● 16Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 17● Be on timeWhen meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 18 It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.● Introduce yourself and ask for namesMake sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. 19 This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up w hen greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.● Make good conversationTo get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. 20 A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).A.

In order to be 25 in achieving a short- or long-term wish or goal, you must place your focus on the 26 result and train your mind on either a moment-to-moment, day-to-day,month-to-month, or year-to-year level.For example, 27 a farmer is to plow (耕地) a straight line, he must keep his eye on a faraway point.

If this very same runner was to set a goal to run 26 miles and keep his mind on the completion of this long 37 , not only wouldn’t he be sweating, but most likely he wouldn’t even be out of breath as he ran by the 38 mark.Long-term goals, 39 , can’t be achieved without first achieving 40 goals.

That's changed since I come here.Another time some months ago, I happened to upstairs when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs after the window had to be shutted. The dark rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entire in the power. It was the first time in a year and a half that I have seen the night face to face.Sadly, I can only look at the nature through the windows. It is no pleasure to look through these any longer, because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.第二节：书面表达（满分25分）最近，你校英语学习俱乐部将举办一次学习经验交流活动。

In my opinion, Mureta da Urca is the most relaxing place to watch the sun set over the silver sea, with the figure of Christ the Redeemer standing tall in the background.Pedra do SalPedra do Sal is a historical area in the city centre and on Monday nights it is brought to life by the sound of samba. Hundreds of people gather in the street, food anddrink stalls are set up and it becomes a giant street party with everyone enjoying the happy sound of live samba!PicanhaIf there were one Brazilian food I could bring back to the UK, it would be picanha.

In the early days of the encyclopaedia, users had their doubts about using Wikipedia, because many mistakes were found and some experts said it was not serious enough. As time went on, however, the online encyclopaedia grew and grew. It brought down Microsoft's Encarta, which was the largest digital encyclopaedia at that time, and the printed version of Encyclopaedia Britannica.Today, for almost any topic the first hit you get from Google is almost always a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation runs the encyclopaedia and it raises money to pay its 400 employees. With the money it can also keep Wikipedia free from advertisements. The foundation says that it wants to raise 100 million dollars over the next decade to keep Wikipedia running.In any case, Wikipedia is still growing. It has many sister projects, including Wikimedia Commons, a database with millions of images, or Wikidata, a free database that everyone can edit. Even though the encyclopaedia may not be the main source of information for scientists and other experts, it has helped change the world of research and knowledge.8. According to the text, Wikipedia_________.A. has a history of more than 20 yearsB. is the largest encyclopaedia in the worldC. provides information in 270 languagesD. has been the world's most popular website9. What does the underlined word "monitored" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Copied.B. Written.C. Translated.D. Checked.10. Why was Microsoft's Encarta mentioned in the text?A. To show Wikipedia is much more popular.B. To make a comparison with Microsoft.C. To offer users another choice.D. To introduce Microsoft.11. We can infer from Paragraph3 that Wikipedia__________.A. does not make much moneyB. is growing at a surprising speedC. lives mainly on advertisementsD. is full of articles with mistakesDDo you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day? If so, you would be called an "early bird". Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a "night owl".Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Usually, early risers are praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both "morning people" and "evening people" were watched during their normal waking hours. After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(机敏的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this dif ference is that “night owls” receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学) may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtime, morning exercise and avoiding midnight snacks. But whether you're happy to rise early or to stay up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.12. How does the author introduce the subject?A. By telling an interesting story.B. By asking questions.C. By showing research results.D. By giving different opinions.13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A. Most people believe "night owls" can focus longer than “early birds".B. Most people believe early to bed and early to rise is good for health.C. Most people believe those who get up early achieve their goals.D. Most people believe “early birds” are as hard-working as “night owls”.14. What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A. Late risers become sleepier than early risers.B. Early risers become as focused as late risers.C. Late risers can think more quickly after being awake for 10 hours.D. Early risers can think more clearly after being awake for 10 hours.15. What opinion does the author finally agree to?A. People should get up early.B. It's impossible to change one's sleeping habit.C. Staying up late is good for health.D. Do things that suit you best.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。

ABy now, most people know they should eat more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from thevegetables you already eat? A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, butalso how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and evencancer. But raw( 生的 ) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw foodwere short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables.“ There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better，” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University.“ For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”A number decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table,including whereand how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients areeasily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than fryingor serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.What cooked with the vegetables can also be important? When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the dinerscan get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them.Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt —can make the food taste better.21． The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.A. people should eat more vegetablesB. the way people eat vegetables is importantC. eating vegetables is good for usD. how much vegetables one should eat22． The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.A. have the eyes problemsB. have heart diseaseC. be in need of lycopeneD. hate eating tomatoes23． The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.A. the place where the vegetables are grownB. the way how the vegetables are storedC. the way how the vegetables are preparedD. the price at which the vegetable are sold24． From the last paragraph, we can know ________.A. it's better to cook vegetables with the fatB. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eatC. it's better to cook the vegetables without saltD. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetablesBAs is well known, the British love to wait in line, but a new research ( 检查 ) shows that the British are only aboutaverage (平均数 ) at waiting politely in a queue. The French are the best. It's the Germans who don't have a goodhabit of standing in line. They can't stand to wait for anything. They begin to shout loudly and noisily if the linedoesn't seem to be moving fast enough.Sadly it never moves fast enough for them.The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line —to get tickets, toorder fast food and to wait for the bus. They found people who are good at forming(排成)queues feel that theymove along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting in a queue needs about three and a half minutes.In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British in queues.They get to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others' time.The expert who did the research had asked a person to break into a queue to see what people would do. InBritain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said，“ I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize there was a queue. Do gobefore me. ”People smiled and said, “ Oh, that's all right one more won't matter much. ” It was also found in Francewhere 80% of the people didn't mind standing in line. Only if they were treated politely. While inGermany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, “ Ifonly they could learn from theBritish and the French to think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might findthat the queue then moves faster.”25． The research shows that the people in ________are the most polite in standing in line.A. SwedenB. BritainC. FranceD. Germany26． From the last sentence we know the expert wished the Germans could ________.A. have a good habit of standing in lineB. save others' time while queuingC. move quickly when queuingD. take exercise in queues27． The result of the research shows that ________.A. people in Europe hate waiting in lineB. standing in line is a kind of exerciseC. there are always queue jumpers all over the worldD. people good at standing in line think they move along fasterCI found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth gradeat the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but Ididn ’ t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out shetat was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. Sheshowed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of mypocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other studentswere dismissed（解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up;she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your ownacts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized （重申）the fact that when people do somethingdishonest, they are really cheating（欺骗） themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously （认真地） about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering whyshe had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girlnext to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl ’ s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn ’ t talked of anything about the pen the day shetalked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use mypen, I am sure she continued（连续） to believe that I had cheated on the test.28. The story took place（发生）exactly ____________ .A. in the teacher’ s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab29.The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____________ .A.she had not brought a pen with herB.she had lost her own on her way to schoolC.there was something wrong with her ownD.her own had been taken away by someone30.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____________ .A.to go on writing his paperB.to stop whisperingC.to leave the room immediatelyD.to stay behind after the exam31.The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was(were) ____________ .For any Englishman ，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world ?s greatest dramatist(剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him ：that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has someknowledge ，however slight ， of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words ， phrases and quotations from Shakespeare?s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used ， rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well —known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare， more perhaps than any other writer ，makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not ， of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare?s day.32.English people ______A.have never discussed who is the world ?s greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the world?s greatest dramatistC.are sure who is the world ?s greatest dramatistD.do not care who is the world ?s greatest poet and dramatist33.Every Englishman knows ______B.Shakespeare，but only slightlyC.all Shakespeare?s writingsD.only the name of the greatest English writer34.Which of the following is true?A.

Familiar sayingsB. Shakespeare?s plays.plaints.D.Actors and actresses.第二节 ( 共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
