Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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.(A)How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work hard if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.( ) 51. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _____________.A.life for a child is fairly easy.B. a child is always loved whatever he doesC.if much is given to a child, he must do something in return.D.only children are interested in life.( ) 52. The main idea of the passage is that______________.A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains.B.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.C.childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s time.D.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.( ) 53. The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss_______.A.examples of successful old men.B.how to build up one’s position in society.C.joys and pains of old people.D.what to do when one has problems in life.(B)The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying you in the labor market.The market may be something abstract(抽象的). But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.( ) 54. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Selling and BuyingB.Everything you do is producing for the market.C.What is the market?D.What the market can do for you.( ) 55. All of the following acts are producing for the market except_______.A. working in a bankB. attending a night schoolC. printing a bookD. growing beans for sale( ) 56. You are buying from the market when you ________.A.borrow a book from the library.B.walk to the seaside for a holiday.C.look after your children.D.dine at restaurant.( ) 57. The word “concrete” in the last paragraph may most probably mean______.A. seriousB. importantC. necessaryD. real( ) 58. In what way is the market very concrete for each person or business who is making and selling something?A.It tells you what to produce.B.It provides you with everything you need.C.It tells you how to grow tomatoes.D.It helps you save money.(C)Some people have the feeling that nothing can be done about their poor reading ability. They feel hopeless about it. Can you learn to read better, or must you agree that nothing can be done about it.To be sure, people are different. You can not do everything as well as certain other people do. If all the students in a class tried out for basketball, some would be very good players; others would be very poor; and many would be in between. But even the very poor players can become much better players if they are guided in the right way, and with plenty of practice. It is the same with reading. Some seem to enjoy reading and to read well without any special help. Others find reading a slow and tiring job. In between, there are all degrees of reading ability.Many experiments have shown that just about every poor reader can improve his reading ability. In these experiments, the poor readers were given tests of reading ability. After some of the causes of their poor reading were discovered, they were given special instruction and practice in reading. After a few months, another test of the same kind was given. In nearly all cases, these people had raised their reading scores.( ) 59. With the example of basketball players, the author shows__________.A.why certain people are poor readers.B.that there are differences in people’s abilities.C.why some people are good basketball players.D.that good basketball players can be good readers.( ) 60. To improve their reading ability, people should_______________.A. work long and hardB. take different forms of testsC. have special help and practiceD. try different reading materials( ) 61. The experiments mentioned in the text show that__________.A.good readers seem to enjoy reading.B.almost all poor readers can make progress.C.causes of poor reading are difficult to find out.D.tests help people improve their reading ability.Section C (2 % * 4=8%)Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then answer the questions or complete the statements with fewest possible words.Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. Thetheatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more—modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower costs.But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS)62.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(1)During the 1990s, I had spent five months in a bleak African country, Niger. There were many things I found difficult about that place the beggars were my biggest most constant gripes. They would continually thrust their hands into my face, shouting," Cadeau! Cadeau!"(gift in French)After I had finished my nursing stint there, a friend and I headed for neighbouring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic with much enthusiasm. "It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better," the locals assuredus.Arriving by taxi in our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. With my daypack wedged between my legs, I reached for my larger piece of luggage. Out of the darkness, a motorcycle with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorcycle swept close by and disappeared into the night. The bag had my passport, money traveller's checks, camera in it. I was in deep trouble and the nearest Australian consulate(领事馆) was in Ethiopia. How was I ever going to get a new passport anytime soon?In the weeks that followed, I guarded the rest of my valuables and regarded the locals withsuspicion. All I wanted was to leave that terrible place.Then walking through the Burkina's streets one day, an old woman approached me and thrust her hand in my face. "Dear lady Cadeau! Cadeau!" she cried. I had enough. I told her firmly in French," I have no 'cadeau'. I have no money. A thief stole all my money and now I can't get out of your country. I can't give you anything." The beggar woman listened attentively and pondered my words. Then her face crumpled into a toothless grin as she reached into the folds of her dress. "Then I will give you a cadeau," she announced. Kindly, she placed an old dark brown coin in my palm. I looked at it in shock. It was a minuscule amount of money but for this woman the coin represented a meal. At that moment, I felt the shame of affluence and the humility of charity. She had given me a gift disproportionate to anything that I had ever donated.In the midst of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I saw then, theunexpected beauty of the people and appreciated profoundly the quiet dignity of the poor.56. The underlined word minuscule in the passage is closest in meaning to .A. unbelievableB. tinyC. unclearD. ordinary57. Which of the following Statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer complained most about beggars in Niger.B. The writer was an Australian citizen.C. Two motorists grabbed the writer's valuables out of a sudden.D The writer still treated the locals fairly after the loss of the bag.58. The writer had a different thought about charity becauseA. she became too poor herself to help othersB. a local poor lady offered her money out of her scarce ownC. the writer got her bag back with the help of the local ladyD. a local lady gave the writer much more money than she had donated59. All the events and activities are available at the carnival except .A. MusicalsB. GardeningC. Parenting TalkD. Balloon Sculpturing Workshop60. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. We get to barbecue the food that we buy in the RGS General Office.B. You can choose to dunk any teacher in the school at the 'Slam Dunk' stall.C. You will have two chances at the lucky dip if you purchase $40 worth of coupons.D. You can win attractive prizes if you try your hand at the game machines in the Arcade Comer.61. The main aim of the RGS Carnival is toA. select the best RGS activityB. showcase the pupils' musical talentC. test hearts of participants with haunted housesD. raise funds for the school's CIPF(3)The amazon is the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world-about 10 percent of all known species on earth dwell there. But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'big picture' of the vast rain forest.The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in theAmazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to come up with the figures.The vast size and difficult terrain (地形) of the Amazon basin has historically restricted studies of tree communities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack ofinformation has hindered science and conservation efforts, according to experts.The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance, frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees. Extrapolations based on the data, collected over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining U.S. States.While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number ofthe types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber. "This isvery valuable information for further research and policy making," said research co-author Dr. Hans ter Steege, from the Netherlands.The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to amathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said," Species too rare to find account for much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for conservation that the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race."62. The underlined word hinder is closest in meaning toA. generatedB. blockedC. sponsoredD. improved63. According to the passage, what made the collection of species information so difficult?A. The lack of experienced professionals in the field.B. The dangers of certain types of species.C. The big area and complicated geographic situation.D. The unfavourable government law in the field.64.

Both of the two cultures are gestated by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River __41___ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own __42___.

Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ___45___.When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ___46___ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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.(A)When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.54. A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may _____.A. care nothing about itB. develop a sense of angerC. do something uncool purposelyD. pretend to get hurt very much55. A teacher can help an unpopular child by _____.A. seeing the child as the teacher's favouriteB. asking the child to do something for partnersC. forcing other children to make friends with the childD. offering the child chances to show his good qualities56. How can parents help their child fit in better?A. By cooking delicious food for him.B. By being kind to his schoolmates.C. By forcing him to invite friends home.D. By taking him to have picnics in the park.57. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Children don't care about others' comments on them.B. It's only a teacher's work to make children popular.C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.D. Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.(B)Opening week specials at Munchies Food HallAt the corner of Green and Brown Streets in the cityMonday 7th of January until Sunday, 13th of January 2008Feast until you’re full !

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity; others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.61. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition62. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.63. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail ?A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One’s success in competition needs great effo rts.C .One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.64. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.第II卷I.

上海市宝山区高一下学期期末考试英语试题Ⅱ.Grammar and VocabularySection A (10%)Directions: After reading the passages below,fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.In France,there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur,who was a doctor of science.The thing (17) occupied his mind was the disease rabies."I must find the rabies germs that hide inside people and make them so sick (18) they die,"he thought. "Once I find that invisible enemy,I'll think of a way to kill it.I just know I (19) do it."Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said,"You'll never do it.No one can find (20) invisible enemy!"Pasteur didn't care (21) people thought,he believed in (22) .He kept right on working.Meanwhile,in German,a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble.He wasn't a bad boy,he was just thoughtless,as children sometimes are.He was playing with a dog.But this dog was sick with rabies,(23) made the dog mad.When Joey got tired of playing with the dog,he started to go home.Unfortunately,the dog escaped from behind the fence and bit Joey.The invisible enemy—the rabies germs—were passed on from the dog to Joey.Soon the little boy was very sick.Everyone knew that if someone was bitten by a sick,mad dog,that person would become infected with rabies and die.His parents could only wait.But then there was news.Joey's mother saw it and shouted for joy."A doctor of science (24) (find) a way to save people like Joey!"she said."He says sick people like Joey have been infected by an invisible enemy,and he's found a way to kill it!"The man,of course,was Louis Pasteur.He had done what he had set out to do.Joey's parents quickly prepared Joey (25) the long journey to Paris."Dr.Pasteur,"said the mother upon their arrival at Pasteur's residence,"we've come a long way.Our little boy (26) (bite) by a mad dog,and he's very sick.Can you help us?""Perhaps,"said Pasteur."I've invented a vaccine（疫苗）.It is strong enough to kill the invisible enemy.Joey was finally saved and later became a gatekeeper at the Pasteur Institute.Section B (10%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.threatB.certainC.developingD.necessarilyE.checkedF.potentialG.speciallyH.connectionI.preserveJ.exerciseK.healthyYou've probably heard of the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking,poor diet,lack of_27_ and so on.But did you know that the health of your gums（牙龈）may also affect your chance of_28_heart disease?More than 120 studies have investigated the_29_link between gum disease and heart disease.Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease and other diseases that affect blood vessels.This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't_30_cause heart disease.Doctors and scientists have proposed a number of possible reasons for this connection.One common factor is inflammation（发炎）,which occurs when the body senses a_31_and sends white blood cells to attack it.This leads to painful swelling（肿胀）,which is the main symptom of gum disease.White inflammation hasn't been shown to cause heart disease,it often accompanies it.And as it turns out,the same types of bacteria often lead to inflammation in both diseases.It's also possible that the_32_has less to do with biology than with an individual's habits.Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that prevent heart disease.So what does this mean for your health?Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn't_33_,don't take it for granted that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart.Certainly,brushing and cleaning are not replacement for exercise and a_34_diet.But keeping your mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still good goals to go after.They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your bright smile complete.This research does mean that if you have gum disease,you should get your heart_35_this is especially true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reason,such as smoking.Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected?The body is a complex and mysterious thing,so do all you can to_36_it.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A (14%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage,there are four words marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The secret to Dwanyne Johnson's success is simple—he gives people what they want.TROUBLED YOUTHWhen he was young,Johnson's family_37_with money,which led him down a bad path.While they lived in Hawaii,Johnson stole form tourists and high-end stores.When this_38_police involvement,he decided to make a_39_.

Rather than donating blood to her cause,you wave the insect away.But that rarely works.Your body usually ends up with one or more itchy（痒的）red welts somewhere.Are there better ways to drive the annoying insects away?Yes, indeed!Preventing mosquito bites can also stop infections with dangerous illness.Mosquito-borne disease such as the Zika virus or malaria have terrible results.Several million people worldwide die from disease carried by mosquitoes each year,adding urgency to the battle.Studies have shown that certain groups of people are easy to be bitten by mosquitoes.These include those who are pregnant,have a higher-than-normal boy temperature or have type O blood.These groups should be aware they are more attractive to mosquitoes and stay inside whenever possible,especially at dawn and dusk.Many breeds of mosquitoes are more likely to bite at these times.People should also wear light,bright colors as dark colors attract the insects.Rubbing mosquito repellents（驱蚊剂）on exposed skin keeps the insects away for a time.Studies show that those containing DEET are most effective.Depending on the brand of repellent,the chemical keeps mosquitoes away for 5 to 13 hours.Some plant oils can be used instead of DEET,but they require more frequent application-every two hours—and in greater concentrations.Oils such as lemon eucalyptus or citronella are two possibilities.Another chemical,permethrin,can be applied to clothing to ward off mosquitoes.The chemical sticks to the fabric and will last through a few washings.Clothing that has been factory-treated with the chemical is alsoavailable. The manufactures say that it will remain the permethrin for about 70 washings.Mosquito coil（圈，卷）also keep mosquitoes away.However,the smoke from them pollutes and can damage the lungs,so they should be used with care.When you're inside,simply plugging in some fans will keep mosquitoes away as they are weak fliers.Everyone wants to avoid mosquito bites,so try several methods to see what works for you.56.which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Mosquitoes usually don't like dark colors.B.Mosquitoes don't like people with type O blood.C.It's not easy to remove some chemical treated off clothing.D.It's not easy to use mosquito coils to drive mosquitoes off.57.What does the phrase ward off in Para 5 most probably mean?A.prevent fromB.take inC.break awayD.turn out58.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to get rid of mosquitoes.B.Keep mosquitoes away.C.Be aware of mosquitoes.D.Pay attention to mosquitoes.59.What does this article imply about mosquitoes?A.Electric fans can be used to blow mosquitoes away.B.People had better use the methods together to avoid mosquitoes.C.Mosquitoes would like to bite people at dawn or dusk.D.Different people should choose different ways to avoid mosquitoes.Section C (4%)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.English is closely related to German,but it uses many words from French.B.English is a multi-culture,which has different background and people.C.This is partly because English includes words from so many languages.D.Over fifty countries have English as their official language and use it for higher education.E.Some English speakers use words only to fill pauses when they talk.F.People usually use some special words to avoid embarrassing occasions.Let's learn about EnglishIf you're reading this,you've probably already spent many hours studying English.But here are facts you may not know about the language:English is one of the most common languages in the world.Some experts estimate that English has about 339 million native speakers._60_.This does not include the United States,which has no official language.English is also the official language of the sky.That means all pilots use it on international flights._61_This is because a French-speaking ruler conquered England in the 11th century.English also includes words from many other languages.This is because people in British colonies spoke many languages.Words from many of those languages were added to English.Other words are added even today.As a result,English has one of the largest vocabularies of any language.You've probably noticed that English spelling can be hard to predict.For example,the long "e"sound can be spelled eight different ways.And the letters—"ough"—can be pronounced nine ways!_62_Spelling of English words often reflected their origins.The most common letter used in English is "e".But more words begin with "s" than any other in the alphabet.Most English words thyme with at least one other word.But month,orange,silver and purple don't thyme with anything._63_Some common examples are like,just and basically.These words are called 'crutch words',and it's best to avoid them.People who use too many crutch words sound like they aren't sure what they're trying to say.However much you know about English,there's always more to learn about this strange and interesting language.Ⅳ.Translation (15%) (3+3+4+5)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.64.现在看来,学生必须下定决心学好英语口语了。

上海市宝山区高一下学期期末考试英语试题Ⅱ.Grammar and VocabularySection A (10%)Directions: After reading the passages below,fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.In France,there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur,who was a doctor of science.The thing (17) occupied his mind was the disease rabies."I must find the rabies germs that hide inside people and make them so sick (18) they die,"he thought. "Once I find that invisible enemy,I'll think of a way to kill it.I just know I (19) do it."Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said,"You'll never do it.No one can find (20) invisible enemy!"Pasteur didn't care (21) people thought,he believed in (22) .He kept right on working.Meanwhile,in German,a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble.He wasn't a bad boy,he was just thoughtless,as children sometimes are.He was playing with a dog.But this dog was sick with rabies,(23) made the dog mad.When Joey got tired of playing with the dog,he started to go home.Unfortunately,the dog escaped from behind the fence and bit Joey.The invisible enemy—the rabies germs—were passed on from the dog to Joey.Soon the little boy was very sick.Everyone knew that if someone was bitten by a sick,mad dog,that person would become infected with rabies and die.His parents could only wait.But then there was news.Joey's mother saw it and shouted for joy."A doctor of science (24) (find) a way to save people like Joey!"she said."He says sick people like Joey have been infected by an invisible enemy,and he's found a way to kill it!"The man,of course,was Louis Pasteur.He had done what he had set out to do.Joey's parents quickly prepared Joey (25) the long journey to Paris."Dr.Pasteur,"said the mother upon their arrival at Pasteur's residence,"we've come a long way.Our little boy (26) (bite) by a mad dog,and he's very sick.Can you help us?""Perhaps,"said Pasteur."I've invented a vaccine（疫苗）.It is strong enough to kill the invisible enemy.Joey was finally saved and later became a gatekeeper at the Pasteur Institute.Section B (10%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.threatB.certainC.developingD.necessarilyE.checkedF.potentialG.speciallyH.connectionI.preserveJ.exerciseK.healthyYou've probably heard of the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking,poor diet,lack of_27_ and so on.But did you know that the health of your gums（牙龈）may also affect your chance of_28_heart disease?More than 120 studies have investigated the_29_link between gum disease and heart disease.Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease and other diseases that affect blood vessels.This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't_30_cause heart disease.Doctors and scientists have proposed a number of possible reasons for this connection.One common factor is inflammation（发炎）,which occurs when the body senses a_31_and sends white blood cells to attack it.This leads to painful swelling（肿胀）,which is the main symptom of gum disease.White inflammation hasn't been shown to cause heart disease,it often accompanies it.And as it turns out,the same types of bacteria often lead to inflammation in both diseases.It's also possible that the_32_has less to do with biology than with an individual's habits.Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that prevent heart disease.So what does this mean for your health?Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn't_33_,don't take it for granted that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart.Certainly,brushing and cleaning are not replacement for exercise and a_34_diet.But keeping your mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still good goals to go after.They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your bright smile complete.This research does mean that if you have gum disease,you should get your heart_35_this is especially true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reason,such as smoking.Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected?The body is a complex and mysterious thing,so do all you can to_36_it.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A (14%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage,there are four words marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The secret to Dwanyne Johnson's success is simple—he gives people what they want.TROUBLED YOUTHWhen he was young,Johnson's family_37_with money,which led him down a bad path.While they lived in Hawaii,Johnson stole form tourists and high-end stores.When this_38_police involvement,he decided to make a_39_.

Rather than donating blood to her cause,you wave the insect away.But that rarely works.Your body usually ends up with one or more itchy（痒的）red welts somewhere.Are there better ways to drive the annoying insects away?Yes, indeed!Preventing mosquito bites can also stop infections with dangerous illness.Mosquito-borne disease such as the Zika virus or malaria have terrible results.Several million people worldwide die from disease carried by mosquitoes each year,adding urgency to the battle.Studies have shown that certain groups of people are easy to be bitten by mosquitoes.These include those who are pregnant,have a higher-than-normal boy temperature or have type O blood.These groups should be aware they are more attractive to mosquitoes and stay inside whenever possible,especially at dawn and dusk.Many breeds of mosquitoes are more likely to bite at these times.People should also wear light,bright colors as dark colors attract the insects.Rubbing mosquito repellents（驱蚊剂）on exposed skin keeps the insects away for a time.Studies show that those containing DEET are most effective.Depending on the brand of repellent,the chemical keeps mosquitoes away for 5 to 13 hours.Some plant oils can be used instead of DEET,but they require more frequent application-every two hours—and in greater concentrations.Oils such as lemon eucalyptus or citronella are two possibilities.Another chemical,permethrin,can be applied to clothing to ward off mosquitoes.The chemical sticks to the fabric and will last through a few washings.Clothing that has been factory-treated with the chemical is alsoavailable. The manufactures say that it will remain the permethrin for about 70 washings.Mosquito coil（圈，卷）also keep mosquitoes away.However,the smoke from them pollutes and can damage the lungs,so they should be used with care.When you're inside,simply plugging in some fans will keep mosquitoes away as they are weak fliers.Everyone wants to avoid mosquito bites,so try several methods to see what works for you.56.which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Mosquitoes usually don't like dark colors.B.Mosquitoes don't like people with type O blood.C.It's not easy to remove some chemical treated off clothing.D.It's not easy to use mosquito coils to drive mosquitoes off.57.What does the phrase ward off in Para 5 most probably mean?A.prevent fromB.take inC.break awayD.turn out58.What is the best title of the passage?A.How to get rid of mosquitoes.B.Keep mosquitoes away.C.Be aware of mosquitoes.D.Pay attention to mosquitoes.59.What does this article imply about mosquitoes?A.Electric fans can be used to blow mosquitoes away.B.People had better use the methods together to avoid mosquitoes.C.Mosquitoes would like to bite people at dawn or dusk.D.Different people should choose different ways to avoid mosquitoes.Section C (4%)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.English is closely related to German,but it uses many words from French.B.English is a multi-culture,which has different background and people.C.This is partly because English includes words from so many languages.D.Over fifty countries have English as their official language and use it for higher education.E.Some English speakers use words only to fill pauses when they talk.F.People usually use some special words to avoid embarrassing occasions.Let's learn about EnglishIf you're reading this,you've probably already spent many hours studying English.But here are facts you may not know about the language:English is one of the most common languages in the world.Some experts estimate that English has about 339 million native speakers._60_.This does not include the United States,which has no official language.English is also the official language of the sky.That means all pilots use it on international flights._61_This is because a French-speaking ruler conquered England in the 11th century.English also includes words from many other languages.This is because people in British colonies spoke many languages.Words from many of those languages were added to English.Other words are added even today.As a result,English has one of the largest vocabularies of any language.You've probably noticed that English spelling can be hard to predict.For example,the long "e"sound can be spelled eight different ways.And the letters—"ough"—can be pronounced nine ways!_62_Spelling of English words often reflected their origins.The most common letter used in English is "e".But more words begin with "s" than any other in the alphabet.Most English words thyme with at least one other word.But month,orange,silver and purple don't thyme with anything._63_Some common examples are like,just and basically.These words are called 'crutch words',and it's best to avoid them.People who use too many crutch words sound like they aren't sure what they're trying to say.However much you know about English,there's always more to learn about this strange and interesting language.Ⅳ.Translation (15%) (3+3+4+5)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.64.现在看来,学生必须下定决心学好英语口语了。
