浙江省名校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月阶段性联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.Chocolate MailboxIn 2011, chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Customers could post their love letters there, and the company would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.Chocolate CouchIn 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250 kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was a part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch reading a book.Chocolate Hotel SuiteIn 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. The room, at the La Reserve hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.Chocolate TreeIn 2012, Patrick Roger made a five-metre tree from five tons of chocolate. The sculpture, which was at Roger’s shop in Paris, even had chocolate monkeys hanging from chocolate branches. Roger wanted to raise awareness of the problems facing African wildlife. 1．How much chocolate was needed to make a Chocolate Couch according to the passage?A. 600 kgB. 250 kgC. 5 tons.D. 12 meters.2．Which of the following appeals to wildlife protectors most?A. Chocolate Wall.B. Chocolate Hotel Suite.C. Chocolate Tree.D. Chocolate Mailbox.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A. SportsB. Science.C. Culture.D. Fashion.Losing an eye might be an unthinkable thing, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist (义眼师) who makes prosthetic eyes (义眼) for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself – which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name –because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils”.Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket –a “flaw” she used to hide – into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. “The posi tion, direction, and even stroke thickness of the blood streaks on the prosthetic eyeballs matter,” the ocularist said. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters like Cardcaptor Sakura and effects like colored contact lenses.Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.4．Why did Xintong give the name "Xintong"to herself?A. To attract more people.B. To forget her real name.C. To look like new pupils.D. To start a brand new life.5．Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.C. Many comments praised her for her beauty.D. She changed a “flaw” into a fashionable state.6．What can we learn about Xintong from paragraph 5?A. She failed to set up her own prosthetic eye studio.B. She began researching prosthetic eyes on her own.C. She was able to offer some specific services on prosthetic eyes.D. She paid no attention to grasping the production techniques and skills.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A. Xintong is a woman with determination and creativity.B. Becoming an ocularist helped Xintong gain much profit.C. Xintong lost all her hopes in her life after the car accident.D. Many customers are deeply moved by Xintong’s artworksPeople’s likelihood of being vegetarian seems to be influenced by several genetic variants, and two of the three most important genes found so far appear to be involved in fat metabolism (新陈代谢).Genetic factors are known to influence aspects of diet, such as whether people like coffee or alcohol. To see if genes also affect vegetarianism, Nabeel Yaseen at Northwestern University in Chicago and his team turned to data on about 5300 strict vegetarians and 330,000 meat eaters. They found that three gene variants were more common in vegetarians. Two, called NPC1 and RMC1, are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and other fatty molecules. The third gene, called RIOK3, has various functions, including affecting the immune system.It isn’t known how these genes may relate to vegetarianism. But one of the chief differences between animal-based foods and plant-based ones is the chemical make-up of their fats or oils, collectively known as lipids (油脂). Yaseen conclude that some people may function better on a vegetarian diet because they are more able to synthesize (合成) certain lipid molecules that are present in meat.Some people who try vegetarianism but give up may be doing so because their body becomes deficient in the essential lipids, says Yaseen. “They decide that this diet is not for them or gradually go back into an omnivore (杂食) diet. Some people might think they just don’t have the willpower.”Another possibility is that the apparently vegetarianism-promoting gene variants affect people’s taste. “Alot of information about genes is yet to be known,” Yaseen says.Richard McIlwain at the UK Vegetarian Society says the number of vegetarians has almost doubled in the UK between 2012 and 2019. “That would seem to suggest something other than potential genetic factors are at play,” he says. “People go vegetarian because, more and m ore, they are concerned about climate, about animal welfare or about their health,” he says, which are more important determinants than physiological factors.8．What's the effect of RIOK3?A. To affect the metabolism of cholesterol.B. To influence the immune system.C. To shift cholesterol and fatty molecules.D. To affect the diet of vegetarianism.9．According to Yaseen’s study. who are more likely to produce lipid molecules appearing in meat?A. Omnivores.B. Meat-eatersC. Vegetarians.D. Weight-losers. 10．What does the underline word “deficient” in paragraph 4 mean?A. lacking.B. limited.C. rich.D. enough.11．Which of the following might Richard agree most?A. Genetic factors are the decisive reasons for being a vegetarian.B. The popularity of vegetarianism has been on a sharp increase globally.C. People choose to be a vegetarian mainly for ethical and health concerns.D. Some people fail to be a vegetarian because they tend to give up halfway.The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the din, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than digging about in the undergrowth looking for tracks. Bu t such “bio-acoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.In a paper published on October 17th in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls wereidentified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say 12．Which of the following best describes Dr Muller's method of bio-acoustic analysis?A. Costly.B. Impractical.C. High-tech.D. Labor-consuming. 13．What can we learn from the research of Dr Muller?A. The species in the rain forests have increased.B. Agricultural activity negatively influenced the richness in species.C. There are more reliable sound recordings in Ecuadorean rainforest.D. Trained AI models can identify as many kinds of sounds as experts.14．Why did the Dr Muller and his colleagues do the survey in Paragraph 5?A. To figure out the species of quieter animals.B. To confirm the biodiversity of the quieter animals.C. To emphasize the biodiversity of the noisy animals.D. To compare the noisy animals and the quieter ones.15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The investment in bio-acoustic analysis.B. The importance of forest restoration projects.C. The standard to measure the automated approach.D. The research’s impact on forest restoration projects.二、七选五16．There are two kinds of people climbing a mountain. The first, they are smiling, laughing and fully enjoying the journey no matter the effort they have taken. Another group, however, they are struggling. They have to stop and catch their breath 10 times on the way up.①_______It’s their lifestyle choices. We’ll give you three main reasons your pursuit of health and youth through lifestyle choices is an essential.You should build a strong foundation now.You probably know people who’ve survived a horrific disease —and it was said that their preexisting physical and spirits str engthen their bodies for battle and made them better equipped to endure stresses. That’s true with the recent COVID-19 pandemic: Severe cases are more likely for those with preexisting conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and so on.②_______That is, healthy choices will help prevent chronic disease and set you up for a long life.It’s unclear how many reboots you’ll get.Perhaps in a utopian 25th-century world, there will exist some places that allows you to walk into a booth, press a few buttons, and erase every cigarette you’ve smoked, every couch you’ve potatoed, every potato you’ve ever fried.③_______Your ability to maximize their effectiveness will depend on your commitment to improving your biology through proven means: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, not smoking, and stress management.④_______The human brain remains the final biological frontier. So even if science ultimately allows us to correct our cells, genes, and other mechanisms that make our bodies work, when your brain goes, you will too.⑤_______And the steps are the same as those you can take to protect the rest of your body.A. What's the difference between them?B. No matter what happens, your brain needs you.C. You have the ability to change how your brain works and reacts.D. The same thinking will apply when we're talking about longevity.E. So you will definitely self-engineer your DNA switches to protect your brain.F. Your longevity depends more on the aggregate of what you do most of the time.G. But for the near future, it’s far more likely that your reboot chances will be limited.三、完形填空（15空）I didn’t really plan to learn percussion (打击乐器).

The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flower exhibition. There we saw large numbers of wild flowers on show, most of which we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. Every year in spring Perth has a wild flower exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and weenjoyed ourselves very much. When we heard bells ringing at the top of the hills, we looked up, but what we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to our car as quickly as we could.

I got in a taxi, and we took off forGrand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn’t believe it!My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.”So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.（1）What happened to the author on his way to Grand Central Station?A . He was caught in a traffic jam.B . He had a fight with his taxi driver.C .

Fight back immediately.B . Call the police for help.C . Dump it on someone else.D . Smile and move on.5. 阅读理解The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and, in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet , which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.（1）What can we learn about the New England Currant?A . It is mainly about the stock market.B . It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.C . It remains a successful newspaper in America.D . It comes articles by political leaders.（2）What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A . They often accept readers’ suggestionsB . They care a lot about each other’s health.C . They stop doing business with advertisers.D . They face great difficulties in their business.（3）Which of the following found a new way for its development?A . The Washington PostB . The GuardianC . The New York Times.D . New England Courant（4）How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A . SatisfiedB . HopefulC . WorriedD .

黑龙江省黑河市嫩江县高级中学2020-2021学年高二上学期联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Amsterdam Destination GuideAmsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the V ondel park. The top museums to visit there are the Rijks museum, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.If You Have TimeThere are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums, including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Scheepvaart Museum, and the botanical gardens.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips (郁金香) blooming, avoid booking betweenmid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generallycheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a special point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.1．What can be learned about Amsterdam from this passage?A．January is its peak season for tourism.B．The Van Gogh Museum lies in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter.C．The Canal Ring is a place to attract garden lovers.D．Amsterdam is called the “Venice of the North” because of its location.2．In order to save money in Amsterdam, you can ______.A．arrange a guided canal tour B．buy train tickets at the counter C．reserve a hotel in the South District D．book flights between mid-March and mid-May3．Where is the passage most probably taken from?A．A magazine. B．An essay.C．A report. D．A website.“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together，don’t normally p aint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network ofscenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs•4．The underlined phra se “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to? A．Visitors. B．Designers.C．Endangered water birds. D．Planes.5．What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A．People cannot watch birds up close here.B．It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C．It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.D．It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The airport will become a permanent home for birds.B．Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C．Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.D．Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.7．What is this passage mainly about?A．Airports shut down and open up.B．China is to open the first Bird Airport.C．Airports turn into green lungs.D．Birds are no longer enemies to airports.Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As t he number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patientdie, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.8．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?A．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.B．To advertise the cartoon made by students.C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.D．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.9．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?A．His social skills could be affected.B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.C．He will cause the destruction of the world.D．He might get separated from his friends and family.10．Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing? A．Supportive. B．Opposed.C．Optimistic. D．Objective.11．What may the passage talk about next?A．Advice on how to use a cell phone. B．People addicted to phubbing. C．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing. D．Consequences of phubbing.Blue Planet Ⅱ’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effecton the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function witho ut plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag--when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.12．Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.C．The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.D．Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.13．How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A．He presented data.B．He mentioned remarks from experts.C．He used examples from his own experience.D．He used the strategy of comparison and contrast.14．What can we infer about climate change?A．Climate change is caused by human activities.B．Some people cast some doubts on climate change.C．Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.D．Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.15．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Ocean plastic is a global issue.B．The oceans become choked with plastic.C．Blue Planet Ⅱ has left viewers heartbroken.D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.二、七选五It’s very common these days for people to take some so rt of regular exercise each week. But if you’ve never done it before, what’s the best way to go about it? 16．He or she will create a personalized plan for you based on your aims.However, each hourly session can be steep considering you have to pay both the personal trainer and membership of the gym, too. So what’s left? Well, if you have the courage to do it, you can make your own plan. It’s relatively easy to do if you have the know-how. 17．First, keep your fitness goal in mind. Are you looking to slim down or increase your abilities? Whatever it is, make sure the things you choose to do are achieving that goal. Next, do your research. 18．Watch as many of these as possible, but make sure to be a little critical of them — everyone has a different physique and what works for one may not work for another. Finally, keep your feet on the ground. 19．It takes at least three months to see any realistic body changes. And don’t be overzealous(过度热衷的) — never work in pain — a good workout is difficult and challenging, but never painful. Pain means you are damaging yourself.If nothing else, focus on calisthenics (健身操). 20．Do as many of one exercise as you can without stopping, and then try and repeat that number twice more — make sure you sweat, and don’t forget t o rest for a minute in between each activity!A．Be patient with yourself and set realistic goals.B．But before you do, here are some basic pointers.C．Well, many people make use of a personal trainer.D．They just don’t want to design their own workout pla n.E.These days, social media is full of fitness videos and advice.F.Find a way to make each exercise more difficult as you get in shape.G.These are the basic body movements which everyone can do anywhere.三、完形填空I never expected to go to the University of Michigan. I grew up in a small Midwest town where college wasn’t 21 by any means. Many students entered the workplace 22 out of high school.

Recently a European Commission tried to find out people’s ideas and reactions to the women’s movement. As part of their survey, they asked many men and women the question, “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework, many of them said they never helped at all!But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives’ answers.Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.5．The survey was carried out in ______.A．Britain B．EuropeC．Denmark D．Italy6．The subject for the survey is ______.A．how many boys do the housework B．who are more diligent, wives or husbands C．how many women do the housework D．who does the housework at home 7．From the passage we can see that ______.A．there were more husbands who did the housework than wivesB．husbands did half of the housework all the timeC．there were more wives who did the housework than husbands.D．wives did all the housework at home8．More ______ husbands help in the house than ______ husbands.A．British; Danish B．Italian; DanishC．Danish; British D．Italian; BritishSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is.However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.9．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A．the reasons for success B．the meaning of successC．the standards of success D．the importance of success 10．Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his workC．one gives up his work easily D．it takes a lot of time to succeed 11．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A．Successful people like to show their great skills.B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.12．What is the main theme of the passage?A．Having a goal is vital to success.B．Being good is different from being great.C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students. However, when students download and share copyrighted music without permission, they are against the law.A survey of young people’s music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players．Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive (硬盘), enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time. Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites, so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors, or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs. Such practices may be easy and free, but there are consequences.Sandra Dowd, a student of Central Michigan University, was fined US $7,500 for downloading 501 files from Lime Wire, a peer-to-peer file sharing program. Sandra claimed that she was unaware that her downloads were illegal until she was contacted by authorities. Similarly, Mike Lewinski paid US $4,000 to settle a lawsuit（起诉）against him for copyright violation (违反). Mike expressed shock and couldn’t believe that this was happening to him. “I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic(战术).” “You know, everyone does it,” added Mike.The RIAA （Recording Industry Association of America）, the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders, states that suing (控告) students was by no means their first choice. Unfortunately, without the threat of consequences, students are just not changing their behavior. Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice.13．Why is it common for students to download copyrighted music?A．They want their friends to know that they are smart.B．They don’t think that they will be caught.C．They think it is a good way to make some extra money.D．They are against copyright protection over Internet music.14．What does Mike mean by saying that “the threat was just a scare tactic”?A．One should not be afraid of threats.B．A lawsuit will result from the threat.C．No serious consequence will follow the threat.D．It is unfair to scare people with a threat.15．What’s the best title for this passage?A．Copyright Violators, Beware!B．How to Get Free Music Online!C．A Survey of Students’ Downl oading HabitsD．Get rid of Illegal Music Download?
