高中英语真题：2016-2017学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.For a year and half, kids sent hurtful messages like “You are ugly.” or “Why are you still alive?” to Rebecca Sedwic k. In 2013, Rebecca, then 12, couldn’t stand it anymore. She took her own life near her home in Florida. Soon afterward, Trisha Prabhu read about the story. “I was surprised and heart-broken,” said Trisha, now 15, who is from Naperville, Illinois, “I kn ow that I had to do something to stop this from happening again.”Trisha did some research. Studies show that one fourth to half of all teens in the US have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌). Experts say that if you are ever bullied online, you should tell a trusted adult. Tell the cyberbully to stop, and prevent him or her from contacting you again. Print and save messages to share with the police. This is good advice, agrees Trisha. But these methods all take place after the bullying has already happened. Trisha had a differentidea. Why not teach cyberbullies to stop before they post these messages?Trisha’s research won awards, including a prize in the Google Science Fair. Then, Tresah built the ReThink app (应用软件). It is programmed to recognize words or phrases that could be hurtful. When that happens, different warning messages come out. “Don’t say things that you may regret later!” says one message. Others ask, “Are you sure you want to say this?” and “Are these words really yours?”Now Trisha is working on a version(版本) of ReThink for computers. “I am a big dreamer,” she says. “I want to stop cyberbullying before the hurt is done.”21. What do we know about Rebecca Sedwick?A. She was one of Trisha’s best friends.B. She sent hurtful messages to others.C. She ended her life at the age of 12.D. She went to Florida to study further.22. What is Trisha’s suggestion for stopping cyberbullying?A.Stop talking with the cyberbully.B.Stop the messages before they are sent.C.Turn to your parents or close friends.D.Show the messages to the police at once.23. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. How the ReThink app works.B. Trisha’s research on cyberbullying.C. People’s attitudes to the ReThink app.D. The Google ScienceFair.24. Which of the following can best describe Trisha?A. Honest and careful.B. Strange and impatient.C. Proud and impolite.D. Helpful and clever.2.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push thechrome­plated_contraptions many mile s. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers beganarriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts.“Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?”one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come —those who came bought more. With larger easier­to­handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—the coming of the shopping cart.28. What do the underlined words“chrome­plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Shopping carts.B. Suitcases.C. Private cars.D. Baskets.29. What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention?A. It was to re duce the burden of his employees’work.B. It was to prove him to be a good inventor.C. It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.D. It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.30. Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.A. attract people to buy things in his marketB. make his market different from the othersC. keep the groceries from being stolenD. encourage people to use his shopping carts31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.B. Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman’s invention.C. Goldman’s invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.D. There will be nothing that can replace Goldman’s invention.4. Getting older is a natural part of life. Changes as you get older are usually gradual. Certain physical changes are common. How fast your body can burn calories slows over time, which means that your body needs less food energy than before. How much and how well you sleep will likely change. Most people start needing reading glasses around forty, and many have some hearing loss later in life. Starting in your fifties, bone aging increase.How you feel as you get older depends on many things, including what health problems run in your family and the choices you make.If your family members have diseases or chronic (慢性的) health problems like high blood pressure, then you may have a greater chance of having those problems yourself. But it doesn’t mean you will definitely have the same problems. Actually, the lifestyle choices you make can help reduce your chances of getting illness that run in your family. And even if you do get a family illness, choosing to be physically active, to eat healthy foods, and to learn how to deal with stress can keep the illness from destroying your abilityto enjoy your golden years.What do you need to do to feel your best as you age? One of the most important things you can do for your health at any age is to be physically active. Physical activity keeps your body strong, and it helps with how you feel. People who stay active are less likely to get depressed.Your mental and emotional health is also important. Protect or improve your emotional health by staying in touch with friends, family, and the community. People who feel connected to others are more likely to feel happy than those who do not.32. When people get older, they will _______.A. go through some physical problemsB. look back to their past oftenC. consume more caloriesD. need some help33. Which of the following can NOT mostly affect old people’s health?A. Their family illness.B. Their income.C. Their eating habits.D. Their relationship with others34. The underlined phrase“golden years” in paragraph 3 refer to a person’s ________.A. futureB. holidaysC. later lifeD. leisure time35. How can old people avoid loneliness according to the text?A. To make new friends.B. To live with their family members.C. To be physically active.D. To have enough social connections.二、未分类(共2题)1.

One day, I was teaching my daughter how to paint. I saw that a lot of her energy went into 41 her brush into the paint, and then into a bowl of water. But then most of the paint that was on the 42 would just disappear in the water. As an 43 mother, I was thinking, “I am trying to teach you how to paint on paper and what are you doing? This is not what you are 44 to do. You have to do this way.”But she is three years old so she is probably not going to 45 doing it the right way. She had so much 46 dipping the brush in the paint and in the water bowl. Pretty much within an hour, most of the paint was all over the room and I just sat there with my hands 47 my head thinking, “Oh my god, this girl is hopeless.” Soon after, however, she shouted, “Mama, when I 48 pink and blue, it turns purple!”I was surprised. 49 I was thinking that she was wasting perfectly good paint and paper, she 50 learned something. What would have been a very theoretical(理论的) experiment turned into a very 51 experiment.I am a designer and work with software like Photoshop and Illustrator. When my daughter sees me work on the 52 , she is always very curious and she wants to work with me on the same thing that I do. She starts to 53 with buttons, and in that process, sometimes lands up 54 me things! There will be many times when she will find 55 new. I will ask her 56 , and she will tell me, “I pressed this, and I pressed this, and then this happened.”One of the things I realized from this is that everyone has a(n) 57 way of learning things. When I was growing up, I 58 to literature very well, so everything that was turned into a story became my way of learning and 59 different concepts. Some kids understand through art, some understand through math and games, and it’s the job of a parent or a teacher to watch and 60 how children learn and try their best to make these experiences educational.41. A. dipping B. throwing C. breaking D.sweeping42. A. plate B. brush C. paper D. bowl43. A. optimistic B. impatient C. energetic D. independent44. A. supposed B. allowed C. intended D. tricked45.

AYuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐）. For starters, there isn't an actual buffet to fill your plate. I nstead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPa ds which they can use to order up to five small dishes every t en minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minut es, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔) allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are an d order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believes, “our eyes are bigger than our stomach”, so not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents people from ordering more food than they can actual ly eat.But Luan Guoyu's most effective way of fighting food waste, a nd the onethat has attracted media attention, is his €1 ($1.15) fine for fo od still left on the plate. “It’s called ‘ all-you-can-eat’” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to inc rease his income, but to act as a warning against wasting foo d.Luan Guoyu's system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany. Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging custom er, the same € 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2 013.With so many people living on the edge of their nations, an d food waste becoming a serious problem in developed count ries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start ca rrying out the “eat up or pay up” policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so it's a win for everyone.21. What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Realize.C. Judge.D. Compare.22. What will Luan Guoyu do when people can’t finish the food on their plates?A. He will charge them extra money.B. He will advise them to eat up the food.C. He will ask them to take the food away.D. He will warn them to order less food next time.23. What is the text mainly about?A. Various German restaurants.B. The seriousness of food waste.C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.D. Special ways to fight food waste.24. What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy ?A. Unfair.B. Funny.C. Reasonable.D. Doubtful.BI had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at St. A nne's College of Further Education. In celebration of this newbeginning, I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothin g.Like many young people my age, I was under the impression t hat the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be se en in public. But for my first day as a student I had made an ef fort to look what my mother called ‘respectable’.There were fifteen of us, sitting in the theatre hall, while the h ead of the drama department, Mr. Wilson, gave us a warm we lcoming speech. To my horror (恐惧), he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a dra ma course. I had no idea what I would say. The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing, I was painfully sh y.My worry grew as it came closer to my turn. One by one, the new students excitedly explained their reasons. Then it was th e turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment be cause I was too busy thinking about what I would say. ‘My na me’s Tracy and I'm from Blackburn’, she said, and then added no further information.Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力). I relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying solittle about yourself. It gave me confidence.After Mr. Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch , I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy. She looked very unfriendly. Taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. To my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright, sweet smile. That was twenty-seven years ago, and although we never did become famous stars, we're still best friends.25. Why did the author dress nicely for her first day at college ?A. She felt a need to dress properly.B. She wanted to fit in with the other students.C. She was under pressure from her mother.D. She wanted to look like a great star.26 . Why did the author feel nervous? .A. Because she had never spoken in publicB. Because it was her turn to start firstC. Because she didn't know what to talk aboutD. Because the other students were so excited27. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 5 refer to ?A. Tracy also seemed extremely worried.B. Tracy hadn' t said very much.C. The other students reacted politely to Tracy.D. All atten tion was on Tracy.CIn an effort to discourage people from using plastics, scientist s have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging pro ducts.The idea of using seaweed（海草） to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recen tly, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.The eatable water container is not the only product to add to o ur image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapa ty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to hi s menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic was te, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world,It is a product that may take up t0 500 years to break down, a nd recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with i t.Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to bu y. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be m ade at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipe s?28. Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?A. To make people's life more convenient.B. To show off th eir inventive talents.C. To change the way we picnic outside.D. To reduce the amount of plastic waste.29. What makes Art Jonsson's water bottles eco-friendly?A. They can be made at home.B. They are cheap to produce and buy.C. They will hold their shape when they are filled.D. They will break down themselves when empty.30. What do Ari and Narayana's inventions have in common?A. They are convenient to carry.B. They are safe to eat.C. They can be used for a short time.D. They are heavier than plastics.31. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular.B. Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near f uture.C. No recycling companies can break down plastic waste.D. It's unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home. DTwo men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a lon g journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other wa s a farmer.

Ne ar the cinema第II卷笔试部分第一部分阅读理解（共两节；满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）(A)Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their li ves are their friends. They believe that their family members d on’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it i s quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other a nd then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, th ey usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phon e.

It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on ho w to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully r eplied "I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactl y like that pearl".The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newsp apers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people a nswered the advertisement（广告） but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady cam e into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect p earl from her purse." "I don’t like to part with it”, she said sadly . “I got it from my mother, and my mother got it from hers.

They c ome and visit some of the most famous places in England: Bi g Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.You can see some of the most interesting places in London b y getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the Lon don Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.The River Thames is London’s main waterway. It has shaped the capital’s landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along th e river.The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben, has bec ome one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bel l, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tow er may be London’s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visi t some of the rooms in August and September. And most mor nings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard.About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen’s homes---Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the roo ms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictur es, tables and chairs again.Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, t he best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakf ast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place t o stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England’s many ales (浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and caf es in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.27. The underlined word “landscape”(paragraph3) is closest i n meaning to ______.A. sightsB. interestC. growthD. travel28. Which place may be London’s most visited tourist spot?A. The River ThamesB.

AThere was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very oft en. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoo n, I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked q uickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which w ay should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other. I found that the two paths were different from each othe r.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers o n both sides of the path. Though they weren’t that beautiful, th ey made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I l ooked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It was narro w and dirty. It looked as if it had not been cleaned for months. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time, I couldn’t make up my mind. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the d irty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I c ame to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in th e park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the rig ht way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them a bout what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me witho ut saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was too small.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path.

There, from a large number of books his friends had mailed to him, Annaud picked up Wolf T otem, a novel by a Chinese author.After almost six years of the film making, Wolf Totem started t o be shown throughout China on February 19, 2015. Nowadays in China, most people have got to know that it’s im portant to protect grasslands and get along well with nature. A nnaud said that he was touched by the author’s concerns abo ut the worse and worse environment which has widely influen ced the Chinese public and the novel is becoming more and more popular.The film Wolf Totem is about environmental problems becaus e they not only exist in China, Annaud said, adding that many EU members and the United States have also had to deal wit h these serious problems. According to him, the film shows a message about the importance of a pleasant relationship bet ween man and nature.Both man and the wolf need a good environment to live in, An naud said. Feng Shaofeng, who played Chen Zhen in the film, was also allowed to raise and train the wolves, so that he cou ld get to know the animals. “Wolves will never accept humans as their master as dogs do; they treat us as friends,” Feng said.5. Where does Annaud come from?A. China.B. England.C. France.D. United States.6. When did they begin to make the film Wolf Totem?A. In 2007.B. In 2009.C. In 2014.D. In 2015.7. What does the film show?A. Humans can become the wolves’ master.B. It’s important for humans to live in peace with nature.C. Humans are stronger than the forces of nature.D. China has serious environmental problems.CDictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in them. New words are being created and ad ded to our language. And many of today's word experts can t hank a famous Englishman for his creation of the way in whic h they develop many new words. His name was Charles L. D odgson. Besides working with numbers, Dodgson wrote book s. His stories and poems have made Dodgson popular with a l ot of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dod gson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has made so many readers happy, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and a lot of poems. In these works, Carroll developed lots of wor ds such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English la nguage. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leath er suitcase that opens into two parts. The name was just right for Carroll's words, because most of his words had two parts. They were usually made from the combined parts of two differ ent words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his way to create new words c ontinues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as “smog” and “brunch”.8. What does the underlined sentence probably mean accordi ng to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. New words can be added to dictionaries.D. The words in dictionaries are always changing.9. From the passage, we know that Charles L. Dodgson was also good at______.A. mathB. actingC. teachingD. music10. Dodgson's made-up words were____.A. made from different wordsB. borrowed from other langua gesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used11. This passage is mainly about______.A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are c reatedC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created ne w wordsDHave you visit any famous museums? Many famous museum s throughout the world can offer you good chances to enjoy ar t. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows ar t for people to see, but it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. W hat you need is just a computer connected to a telephone. Th at’s enough.You can call the telephone number of a University computer a nd connect your own computer to it. All of the art is in the school computer. It is computer art, produced by artists on their o wn computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can recei ve and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures on the computer and send the records to others t o see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on pa per. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist wi ll have to need a very expensive printer(打印机).Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art o r computer students at schools and universities. Many of the p ictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for comput er artists because more people can see it. He says artists enj oy their work much more if they have an audience. And the gr eat number of home computers in America could mean huge audience for the electronic museum.12.

M.－With the new year coming, a new website was set up to offer ringtones (手机铃声) of the sounds of dozens of rare and endangered species from around the world.The Center for Biological Diversity started offering free wildlife ringtones for cellphones a year ago to educate people about the plight of the animals, and t he movement enjoyed such success that the environmental group has collected more ringtones and added them to its website for this year.The group plans to release a kind of new ringtones each month, including the sounds of the African elephant and the Emperor Penguin of the Antarctic, said Peter Galvin, the group’s conservation director.said Wednesday in a telephone interview. “It’s pretty interesting. We didn’t realize how much of an international hit it would become.”The response, he said, stresses the worldwide movement to save endangered and rare species.“The extinction crisis is a worldwide crisis,” he said.Available ringtones include the howl of an endangered Mexican gray wolf, the bellows of an Arctic beluga whale and the calls of dozens of other mammals, birds and reptiles.

That means the song is so old, no one really knows who wrote it. Huddie Ledbetter, the singer and guitarist known as Ledbelly, first recorded “Good Night Irene” in 1932. Since then more than a hundred other versions have been recorded. “Good Night Irene,” was a huge hit for the Weavers in 1950.Folk songs sometimes tell stories about real events. An example is the story of a young man whose last name was spelled D-U-L-A but pronounced “Dooley”. Tom Dula was a Civil War soldier in North Carolina. He was found guilty of the murder of his girlfriend. He was sentenced to death and was hanged in 1868, yet the case left many questions. The story was retold in1958 by the Kingston Trio.Folk singer and songwriter Amy Speace says the history of American folk music can be imagined as a tree with many branches. At the center, she says, is Woody Guthrie. Woody Guthrie wrote almost 3,000 songs. But he only recorded about 300 of them. His granddaughter Anna Canoni says that was partly because he did not have enough money to record more.Yet for all his influence, millions of Americans today remember him for just one song, which children learned in school. The song, “This Land is Your Land,” seems like the perfect expression of pride in coun try. What many people do not know is that it was meant sarcastically(讽刺地), as just the opposite. This meaning is made clear later in the song, in the parts that most children never learn in school.Some people probably think of a folk singer ou t of date from the 1960s.A long-haired, guitar-playing idealist sings about bringing the world together. But these days, with music production software, digital video and social networks all easily available, folk artists really can bring the world together.25. What do we know about “Good Night Irene”?A. It was first recorded in 1950.B. It was about a real event.C. Ledbelly wrote this old song.D. The Weavers’ version was very successful.26. Who was Tom Dula?A. A hero hanged wrongly.B. A real man thought to be a murderer.person in a song.27. From Paragraph3 we can learn that Woody Guthrie ____________.A. earned a lot by writing folk musicB. recorded as many as 3,000 songs in his lifeC. recorded his songs with a major record companyD. played an important role in the history of folk music28. What is the author’s attitude toward folk artists?A. UncaringB. DoubtfulC. SupportiveD. Unconcerned2.Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. There are hundreds of kinds of sharks. Most are about two meters long. The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimeters in length. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. 29 Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. 30 Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, overfishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.Sharks are important for the world’s oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great.31People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable.Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. 32 The skin of a shark can be used like leather.say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins. Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth. 33A. The others give birth to live young.B. They are a threat to other forms of life in the ocean.C. This powerful sense helps sharks find their food.D. Sharks are valuable to us and we can make full use of them.E. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A.F. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.G. If too many sharks in one area are killed, that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.3.Festivals are meant to celebrate important times and events. The Western Halloween takes place on October 31 every year. 54 (obvious), it had its origin in old 55 (believe) about the return of the spirits of dead people. However, children nowadays celebrate it in their own ways and they are always looking forward to its 56 (arrive). Many young people also have great fun with each other, playing music and dancing to it.Li Hua, an exchange student in the USA, attaches great importance to 57 (learn) about the customs and cultures here. 58 this festive night, he as well as his band, 59 (dress) in fancy clothing, is giving 60 (amaze) performances in the open air. The song which 61 (sing) on the stage now was just written by Li Hua, 62 whom being a famous musician is his forever dream. Actually, it is the same interest they share 63 brings them together.三、完型填空(共1题)1. “Today is the day I start the big diet,” I told my wife as I raised my hand and 34 , “No chocolate today!”“Oh, has the hospital gi ft shop 35 selling it?” she asked.“No,” I said. “I’ll just have to 36 my strong determination.”But when I arrived at the hospital, my little friend Benton had been there 37 .
