Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships, couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just__50__ and deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship. __51__ ,denying the existence of conflict results in couples _52___ to solve their problems at early__53__ ,which can then lead to even greater problems later on .Not surprisingly, expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital (婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning. However, this pattern of behavior _54___ increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.So, what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships? First, try to understand the other person’s point of view__55__ put yourself in his of her place. People who are _56___ to what their partner thinks and feels _57___ greater relationship satisfaction. For example, researchers found that among people in dating relationships 58____ marriages, those who can adopt their partner’s perspective show more positive emotions, more relationship-enhancing attributes and more constructive responses _59___ conflict.Second, because conflict and disagreements are an __60__ part of close relationships，people need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and __61__ forgiveness from their partners for their own acts. Apologies minimize conflict, lead to forgiveness, and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line withthis view, spouses（配偶）who are more forgiving show higher mental quality over time. Increasingly, apologizing can even have _62___ health benefits. For example, when people reflect on hurtful __63__ and grudges(怨恨)，they show negative physiological(生理的) effects, including __64__ heart rate and blood pressure, pared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-taking and forgiving.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AAnne Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. “Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!"These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Contrary to people’s mon belief that poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in students’ achieving low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to bee calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then es out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains, " With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. "65. To "blank out" is probably______.A. to be like a blanketB. to be sure of an answerC. to be unable to think clearlyD. to show knowledge to the teacher66. Poor grades are usually believed to be the result of______.A. poor sleeping habitB. lazinessC. test anxietyD. inability to form good study habits67. Test anxiety has been recognized as______.A. an excuse for lazinessB. the result of poor study habitsC. a real problemD. something that cannot be changed68. A University of California advisor said______.A. all students could overe the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety programB. almost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California advising courseC. students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a specialtest anxiety courseD. students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University ofCalifornia advising course69．If you want to join Live Card to save money on tickets, you can call .A.0844 847 2484B.0800 587 5007C.0844 499 6699D.0161 245 660970．How can you pay for a ticket when you book by post?A. By visiting the website of a post office.B. By going to your local bank in person.C. By enclosing your Live Card in an envelope.D. By providing your credit card information.71．What benefit can group bookers enjoy according to the text?A. Delayed payment for tickets.B. Invitations to opening nights.C. Reduced booking fees by phoneD. Generous discounts on tickets.CPeople are being lured (引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the pany is up to, they still have no idea what they’re p aying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the pany keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the pany changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the pany is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade mission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.“I think the senator rightly municated that we had not been clear about what the new products were an d how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, w hich is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销)my account. Facebook is a handy site, b ut I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.72. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.73. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are reluctant to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D. They care very little about their personal information.74. Why does Senator Charles Schumer propose?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Working out regulations for social-networking sites.D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.75. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data to be used in a wrong way.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Set a Good Example for Your KidsB. Build Your Kids’ Work SkillsC. Place Time Limits on Leisure ActivitiesD. Talk about the Future on a Regular BasisE. Help Kids Develop Strategies of dealing with different thingsF. Help Your Kids Figure Out Who They AreG. Build Your Kids’ Sense of ResponsibilityHow Can a Parent Help?Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life es, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”76. _________You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortings, like difficulty in municating well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep ing back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.77. ________Kids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times,but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.78. _______Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice developing effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).79. _________Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of children’s munication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will need for most jobs.80. _________They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea. It is those things we all recognize when we see it, but we don’t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don’t know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world tolook differently from the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is all about -- imagining the world in a new way. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, you are born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what’s more, you use it every day, almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. (Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?__________________________________________________________________ 82. ________________________________ is the widely accepted idea about the creative process.83. ___________________________ leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?84. According to the writer, what is creativity all about?_________________________________________________________________ _______第II卷I.

He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75 albums; many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement, while others differ greatly from classical music. He’s worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have won Ma many awards and honors.Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955, Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S., when he was seven. One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962 performance for U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ma was certainly a genius, appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.Like many young extraordinary musicians, Yo-Yo Ma’s educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music. Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path, Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1976. He wasn’t always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist, and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals, the famous Spanish cellist, as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.By the early 1980s, Yo-Yo Ma had bee internationally known. He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children. To that end, he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.In xx, Ma started the Silk Road Project, which promotes cooperation among artists, including musicians from around the world. His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma’s political attitude of peace through music. In xx, the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Maa Peace Ambassador.77.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma?A. He has explored a wide range of musical forms.B. He wasn’t well-known in the U.S. until the 1980s.C. He is famous only for the classical pieces he performs.D. He was determined to bee a cellist since childhood.78.Whose work has had an influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist?A. Bobby McFerrin’s.B. Kofi Anan’s.C. Pablo Casals’.D. Sting’s.79. Through the Silk Road Project, Yo-Yo Ma intended to ___________.A. continue his studies while performing with musicians all around the worldB. bring together many different cultures represented by the ancient Silk RoadC. bee a UN Peace Ambassador by expressing his political attitude of peaceD. promote musical education for children in the countries along the ancient Silk Road80. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. To Be Known as Early as PossibleB. Growth Process of a Peace AmbassadorC. University Education: Key Factor to Yo-Yo Ma’s SuccessD. A Talented Musician with Sense of Social Responsibility( B )81. If you seldom exercise, prefer nature to literature and are used to getting upearly, you’re most likely to join __________.A. Early Morning Stroll in Upper Lane Cove ValleyB. Baime Basin TrackC. Poetry around a campfireD. Morning Walk at Mitchell Park82. If you want to enjoy the peace of the bush at night, you are required to __________.A. meet at 7:30 p.m. June 6B. bring slippers with youC. prepare a torchD. climb rocks for two hours83. How many guided walks and nature activities provide food or drink?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.84. In the activity “Morning Walk at Mitchell Park”, one may have no chance to ___________.A.appreciate bird watchingB. enjoy mountain climbingC.take a relaxing walkD. have morning tea( C )ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, is a catch-all expression for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others, to transmit their own thoughts, to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physically touching them. These special people are called psychics. Some believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it.Many people are skeptical about ESP. Alongside the existence of documented evidence, there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating. For most people, it is difficult to accept such claims without having had first hand experience. The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account. On the otherhand, most of us have, at some time, experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence; hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental.Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory P erception” in which he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to copy his results since, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame.The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments. So-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages. Later the psychic s would pare the messages received to the original messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time, but the research failed to produce convincing results.One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist, the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken.Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. This bees clear when we see how much of the media is dedicated to the topic: magazines, journals, web sites, television and radio programs. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain: “The truth is out there! ”85. According to the 1st paragraph, a psychic can do the following EXCEPT __________.A. read what his parents are thinking aboutB. transmit one friend’s thought to anotherC. predict what’ll happen at tomorrow’s meetingD. change the position of a chair without touching it86. The underlined word “skeptical” in the second paragraph c an be replaced with __________.A. enthusiasticB. doubtfulC. particularD.curious87. What can be learned about the book “Extra–Sensory P erception” and“theGanzfield E xperiments”?A. They both failed to prove the existence of ESP scientifically.B. They were both the products of casually-designed research.C. Others followed their examples and got the same consequences.D. The writer and the experiment operators lost their fame eventually.88. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Whether ESP exists.B. How ESP works.C. Who ESP attracts.D. Why ESP fails.第II卷V.

安徽省安庆市某中学2019-2020学年高二英语月考试题一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AI sometimes fee left out with my friends at the party．What can I do？-Susan Alice：Speak to your best friend before you arrive and ask her to make sure you don't get left out of the group．That way，she'll know to include you in all the fun．Make the effort to speak to some other people at the party．You might even make a new friend or two．Sometimes I think parties get boring and I want to go home!--Jenny Alice：Even a great party will drag if you're not enjoying yourself．Making the effort to dance and have a chat with your friends will beat the boredom!You don't have to stay to the very end of the party．Our school is having a Christmas dance party but I'm really shy．Shall I go or not？--Emma Alice：Part of you would like to go to the party，so give it a try．Let good friends know how you feel and make sure you'll have people to dance with when the evening comes．Practice some fun dances so you'll feel comfortable on the dance floor．Whenever I go to a party，my dad comes to pick me up at 8pm．I always have to leave earlier than the rest of my friends and I get really angry with my dad．--Anny Alice：Talk with your dad and let him know how you feel．It feels hard to have different rules from your friends but don't worry too much--your friends are probably picked up soon after you anyway．1.Alice advises Susan to ______ ．A. stay with her friendsB. make fun of her friendsC. leave the party at onceD. ask her fried for help2.The underlined word"drag"is closest in meaning to" ______ "．A. failB. be boringC. improveD. be pleasant3.What worries Anny？ ______A.

In a popular magazine．B. In a travel guidebook．C. In a famous novel．D. In a notice．BThe word "invent" comes from a Latin word which means "to find．" Garrett Morgan，an African-American， was one such inventor． His first job was repairing machines in a factory． By accident， he had invented the hair straightener． He sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor．Every day，Garrett Morgan watched traffic become more dangerous．Cars，bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street．Police officers made simple "stop / go" signals at busy crossroads，but cars，bicycles and walkers still rushed into the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other． One day he saw atraffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads． he realized ，the problem with the traffic light， was its poor design： the traffic signal lacked a transition（过渡）between "stop" and "go．"Morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a "caution （警告）" light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely． His traffic light stood on a T-shaped pole （杆）with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions， allowing walkers to cross safely． After walkers crossed， traffic could only go in one direction．Soon， cities everywhere wanted his traffic light．In 1923，a popular electric company paid Morgan ＄40，000 to make and sell his invention． Traffic lights today work in the same basic way．The traffic light is Morgan's most famous invention． In 1963， the United States government gave Garrett Morgan an award for his life-saving idea．5.What can we learn about Garrett Morgan from Paragraph 1？ ______A. He worked in a factory all his life．B. He led a hard life in his early years．C. He made money from hair straighteners．D. He dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child．6.What made Morgan invent the traffic light？ ______A. A traffic accident．B. A car driver's advice．C. Worry about his safety．D. Hard work of police officers．7.According to the text， Garrett Morgan's traffic light ______ ．A. made cars move more slowlyB. needed no help from police officersC. was special because it had a "caution" lightD. was very different from the ones we use todayCLiving on mountainous La Gomera， one of Spain's Canary Islands off West Africa，Juan Cabello takes pride in not using a mobile phone or the Internet to communicate．Like his father and grandfather，he uses Silbo Gomero，a language that is whistled （吹口哨），not spoken，and that can be heard more than two miles away．"I use it for everything：to talk to my wife，to tell my kids something，to find a friend if we get lost in a crowd，"Cabello says．"I also make a living from Silbo，performing daily exhibitions at a restaurant．"People throughout La Gomera are known to have used Silbo in the past as a way of communicating over long distances． A strong whistle saved farmers from walking over the hills to give messages or news to neighbors．Then came the phone．Nowadays，it's hard to know how many people still use Silbo．In 1999，it was introduced as a compulsory subject （必修学科） in La Gomera's primary schools， in an effort to prevent the language from going silent． Now 3，000 students are studying it， but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling language．"Silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage （遗产） we have，" saidMoises Plasencia， the director of the Canary Islands' government's historical heritage department．In fact， little is known about Silbo's origins． Silbo-like whistling has been found in parts of Greece， Turkey， China and Mexico， but none is as developed as Silbo Gomero． One study is looking for signs of Silbo in Venezuela， Cuba and Texas， all places to which Gomerans have gone in the past during hard economic times．"Silbo has many historical and linguistic （语言学上的） values，" Plasencia said． And，as Cabello explains， "It's good for just about anything except for romance： everyone on the island would hear what you're saying!"8.Juan Cabello uses Silbo Gomero ______ ．A. in his daily lifeB. to learn computersC. just to make a livingD. only when eating at restaurants9.What can we learn about Silbo Gomero？ ______A. It first started in Greece．B. It is in danger of dying out．C. It is helpful in keeping secrets．D. It is the oldest way of communicating．10.Plasencia thinks it's very important to ______ ．A. know the origins of Silbo GomeroB. find the values of Silbo GomeroC. have more cultural heritagesD. protect Silbo Gomero11.What is mainly described in the text？ ______A. A school's subject．B. A famous performer．C. An unusual language．D. A mountainous island．DThe Internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago． The only reason Internet sales are not taxed （征税） is because we did not know the Internet would be used to sell products when it was created． Internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same product except for the fact that Internet sales are not taxed．When buying online， people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store． To fix this， customers are going into the store to see the product． Then if they like the product， they buy it online to save money on the sales tax． This is a form of tax evasion （逃税） if you ask me!Everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online as well． Also， the added money brought in through Internet taxing could help the government to fund （为……拨款） certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds． This could go toward the country's schools or other things necessary for society to function well． These funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession （经济衰退） that the country is in at this point． Internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the qualityof life for all who live in that country．In conclusion， there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing Internet sales． I do understand that I may have to pay more if I want to buy something online， but the funds stay within my society and help my country． The added cost may hurt me at first but in the end， the funds will help me and others in our country．12.The text mainly discusses ______ ．A. whether it is a good way to buy things onlineB. why Internet sales are not taxedC. why people love to buy things onlineD. whether Internet sales should be taxed13.Internet sales are not taxed because ______ ．A. people don't know how to tax themB. many people are against taxing themC. selling online was unexpectedD. they are different from store sales14.What can we learn from Paragraph 2？ ______A. Online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods．B. Customers get better products at a lower price online．C. Problems related to online shopping are hard to fix．D. Online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax．15.According to the author， taxing Internet sales ______ ．A. can help improve the quality of productsB. can help the country out of the recessionC. is good for all peopleD. is beneficial to the development of Internet二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating fast food？Many people do not have time to eat home-cooked food． (1) There're more than 13，000McDonald's restaurants in the United States itself，and over 8，000KFCs in80countries．In most cities，it is not difficult to find hamburgers and pizza．Advantages of fast food(2) Eating fast food helps working people and students to get back to work as quickly as possible．Besides，many love the look，smell and taste of it．Perhaps the greatest advantage is the price． (3) If one lives alone，then it is cheaper to buy a meal at the supermarket than cook it at home．Disadvantages of fast foodThe greatest disadvantage of fast food is the bad effect that it has on one's health．Many people feel that fast food is unhealthy because it contains a lot of artificial ingredients （人造成分）．Some even think that it is addictive （上瘾的） because of these ingredients． (4) Fast food may lead to obesity in the American population．(5) I believe that it can be a good thing，as long as people do not eat it too often，eat plenty of fruit and vegetables，and also do plenty of exercise to keep in shape．A．Fast food does raise health concerns．B．It is often cheaper than other kinds of restaurant food．C．In short，fast food has both advantages and disadvantages．D．Fast food probably makes people much fatter than before．E．More and more fruit and vegetables are offered in fast food．FThe most evident advantage of fast food is that it saves time．G．Because of our non-stop modern lifestyle，fast food is poular almost everywhere．16.

which引导非限制性定语从句measures roughly 200 square meters，做从句的主语．6． was removed．考查谓语动词．主语 the base和谓语动词remove是被动关系，根据上文可知本句用一般过去时态，所以谓语动词用was removed ，表示"去除"．7． recording．考查现在分词，record和它所修饰的词之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，故填recording．8． than．考查固定搭配．本句中含有more than意为"与其说倒不如说"，句意：与其说它是一个休闲的宾馆还不如说是一个生存测试．这样说的主要原因是因为低温对人的影响．9． popularity．考查名词．横线前面有定冠词the修饰，做句子的主语，用名词popularity，表示"流行"．10． At，考查固定搭配，at

He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75 albums; many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement, while others differ greatly from classical music. He’s worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have won Ma many awards and honors.Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955, Yo-Y o Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S., when he was seven. One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962 performance for U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ma was certainly a genius, appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.Like many young extraordinary musicians, Y o-Yo Ma’s educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music. Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path, Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1976. He wasn’t always certain that he s hould continue to pursue his career as a cellist, and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals, the famous Spanish cellist, as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.By the early 1980s, Y o-Yo Ma had bee internationally known. He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children. To that end, he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.In xx, Ma started the Silk Road Project, which promotes cooperation among artists, including musicians from around the world. His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma’s political attitude of peace through music. In xx, the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Ma a Peace Ambassador.77.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma?A. He has explored a wide range of musical forms.B. He wasn’t well-known in the U.S. until the 1980s.C. He is famous only for the classical pieces he performs.D. He was determined to bee a cellist since childhood.78.Whose work has had an influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist?A. Bobby McFerrin’s.B. Kofi Anan’s.C. Pablo Casals’.D. Sting’s.79. Through the Silk Road Project, Yo-Yo Ma intended to ___________.A. continue his studies while performing with musicians all around the worldB. bring together many different cultures represented by the ancient Silk RoadC. bee a UN Peace Ambassador by expressing his political attitude of peaceD. promote musical education for children in the countries along the ancient Silk Road80.

In the activity “Morning Walk at Mitchell Park”, one may have no chance to ___________.A.appreciate bird watchingB. enjoy mountain climbingC.take a relaxing walkD. have morning tea( C )ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, is a catch-all expression for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others, to transmit their own thoughts, to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physically touching them. These special people are called psychics. Some believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it.Many people are skeptical about ESP. Alongside the existence of documented evidence, there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating. For most people, it is difficult to accept such claims without having had first hand experience. The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account. On the other hand, most of us have, at some time, experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence; hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental.Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory P erception” in which he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to copy his results since, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame.The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments. So-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages. Later the psychics would pare the messages received to the original messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time, but the research failed to produce convincing results.One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist, the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken.Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. This bees clear when we see how much of the media is dedicated to the topic: magazines, journals, web sites, television and radio programs. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain: “The truth is out there! ”85. According to the 1st paragraph, a psychic can do the following EXCEPT __________.A. read what his parents are thinking aboutB. transmit one friend’s thought to anotherC. predict what’ll happen at tomorrow’s meetingD. change the position of a chair without touching it86. The underlined word “skeptical”in the second paragraph can be replaced with __________.A. enthusiasticB. doubtfulC. particularD. curious87. What can be learned about the book “Extra–Sensory P erception” and“the GanzfieldE xperiments”?A. They both failed to prove the existence of ESP scientifically.B. They were both the products of casually-designed research.C. Others followed their examples and got the same consequences.D. The writer and the experiment operators lost their fame eventually.88. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Whether ESP exists.B. How ESP works.C. Who ESP attracts.D. Why ESP fails.第II卷V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 他一辞去那份高收入的工作，就投入于农业研究。

This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”Students also expressed a mon hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part i n children’s growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.1.The study shows _________.A．which university should have mottoesB．what poems are popularC．how many students like the motto “Believe yourself.”D．the majority of the students like to choose their favorite mottoes2.Of the students asked, _______ students have mottoes.A．about 78% B．about 57% C．about 16% D．about 8%3.The motto “Self-improvement without stop” shares the similar meaning with ______.A．going on to improve rapidlyB．growing by oneself continuouslyC．making oneself better and perfect continuouslyD．being better without having a break4.The best title for the passage should be _______.A．Mottoes and Character Developing B．Students and PoetC．Mottoes and Learning D．Understanding CareBOnce upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years．”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him．Then one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer．”The old man had gone to cut wood and he was ing back carrying wood on his shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply．The old man came，took out the arro w and said, “I knew that some day or other you were going to do this．That’s why I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My Master is still alive，and I’m nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is very old，so go fast!

And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, plete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs.The entries were judged on Language proficiency（熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.Academics(学者) from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.“No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and theirgrasp of t he Chinese language. ”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, plete with pictures and even podcasts(播客).Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible(负责任的).“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame(责备) the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack r esponsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”9. The petition was organized by ___________.A. the National University of SingaporeB. Chinese newspaper Lianhe ZaobaoC. the Saint Andrew’s Junior CollegeD. Innova Junior College10.

What Miss Gao said suggests that ___________.A. she likes to blame the authoritiesB. she thinks highly of the others’ blogsC. she has a sense of responsibilityD. she loves to read valuable posts12. The passage is mainly about ___________.A. how Chinese students won the awards in the petitionB. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogsC. what the result of the petition wasD. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the petitionDWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the puter, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to municate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter es home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her V olvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several plete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to tal k about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the puter, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.13.How do you understand‘P oint 1 —The telephone creates the need to municate,6…’？15. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life? Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.A. c, dB. a, eC. a, cD. b, e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New York visit would be most favorite experience of your. 16 New York is just the place for you and your partner to spent some of the greatest days of your life .Whether it is the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty ,you can do a lot to keep yourself suitably yet interestingly engaged during your honeymoon in New York.When on your honeymoon the best way to while away your time is by shopping 17 .Going to the famous or even to the Broadway can be a good idea if both of you take a keen interest in new things.If a romantic getaway is what you prefer then take your partner to the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden that can be perfect romantic place to get away from the crowd. 18 New York City has some of the best restaurants in the word serving great food and in some cases great music , too, es along with it.There are some restaurants like Chumley’s ,Manhattan Diner and Doyers Vietnamese Restaurant that are not well know but offer platters.19 You can choose from a number of great hotels that include The Ritz Carlton and The Waldorf Astoria .
