深圳外国语学校高一英语期末卷及答案

2022年广东省深圳市南山外国语学校高一英语期末试题含解析一、选择题1. From his words _________ the hope that they would help us in finance.A. wentB. cameC. gotD. had参考答案：B2. Before you quit your job, do consider how your family would feel about your decision, ______?A. don’t youB. do youC. will youD. wouldn’t you参考答案：C【详解】考查反意疑问句。

句意：在你辞职之前，考虑一下家人对你的决定的看法，好么?祈使句的反意疑问句，若主句部分为肯定式，则反意疑问句部分will you/won’t you都可以用；如果主句部分是否定式，则反意疑问句部分只用肯定式will you，故C项正确。

【点睛】1. 祈使句为Let's+动词原形时，反意疑问句用shall we。

let's包括对方在内，相当中文的“咱们”。

Let's have a try, shall we? 咱们试一试，好吗？2. 祈使句为let us+动词原形时，反意疑问句用will you。

let us中的us往往不包括对方，相当于中文的“我们”。

Let us know whether you can do it, will you? 让我们知道你能否干这件事，好吗？3. 祈使句为Let me+动词原形时，反意疑问句通常用will you，也可用may I。

Let me drive the car, will you? 让我来开车，行吗？Let me help you, may I? 让我来帮助你，好吗？4. 否定的祈使句，反意疑问句用will you。

Don't cry, will you? 别哭了，好吗？5. 祈使句表示邀请时，反意疑问句用won’t you，也有人用will you。

New analysis of the arm bones of Lucy, an early hominid, suggests she was a tree climber. Lucy’s remains were uncovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, with the 3.18 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼)being the most complete of any upright, walking human ancestor. Since she was discovered, researchers have debated whether she spent her life in the trees or spent time walking on the plains as well.The new evidence from scans of her arm bones proves she spent time climbing and used her arms to pull herself up. The scans were compared with cross sections of humans and chimpanzees, which spend a mixture of time in trees and walking on all fours on the ground. They found that the arm bones were more heavily built, similar to those of chimps, while her lower limbs(下肢)would have meant she walked less efficiently than modern humans. Professor John Kappelman, atUniversityofTexas, believes the advantage of his study was that it focused on characteristics that reflect actual behavior during life, suggesting that evenwhen Lucy walked upright, she may have done so less efficiently than modern humans, limiting her ability to walk long distances on the ground.Previous studies suggested that Lucy was just 4 feet tall and weighed just 65 pounds. Combining the new data paints a picture of an ancestor who may have spent a great amount of her time in trees. It also expands on evidence from earlier this year which claimed that Lucy may have died from a fall, most likely from a tree. The evidence suggests Lucy may have spent time on the ground, returning to the safety of the trees for food and to sleep, to avoid her enemies.4. What did the researchers argue about after Lucy was discovered?A. Where she lived.B. How long she lived.C. What she ate.D. How she worked.5. How could people tell Lucy spent time climbing?A. By her walking style.B. By her heavily built arm bones.C. By her strong lower limbs.D. By her large cross sections.6. When Lucy walked, she may________.A. have walked with bigger stepsB. have walked at a faster speedC. have walked more efficiently than usD. have walked a shorter distance than us7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Guesses about Lucy’s characteristics.B. Some evidence of Lucy’s health.C. The safety of Lucy.D. The ancestor of Lucy.CSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.8. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C. It was the firstU.S.city that had been flooded.D. It created a wholly new way to cook after Katrina.9. What can we say about the levees?A. They were almost useless for fighting Katrina.B. They helped people leaveNew Orleansquickly.C. They made NewOrleansa special American city.D. They should be built to match the size ofNew Orleans.10. What might the author advise city governments to do?A. Put up more shelters in the city.B. Build more levees around the city.C. Teach people how to avoid floods.D. Try to get ready for natural disasters.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedDA 24-year-old female space commander has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media for her work.Zhou Chengyu was in charge of the rocket connector system---described as a vital role. Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in1996 intheprovinceofGuizhou.

Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out shewent viralonline. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.12. What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country?A. Her young age.B.

What does this mean? I don’t know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused.I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age — 18 to 22. Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn’t an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board.Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good-natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better.I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five-year nap, I’d have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn’t understand the language.Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they’re talking about, as well as on my ability — for the most part — to understand their explanations.But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon? The answer, to me, is clear: Klaatu Barada Nikto.24．What did the author probably meet with?A．Hearing loss.B．Cultural shock.C．A language barrier.D．A frightening robot.25．What makes the author fall behind in language?A．Learning needs.B．Teaching tasks.C．Age difference.D．Language abuse.26．What does the author think of language change?A．It is entirely avoidable.B．It is really small.C．It is verybeneficial.D．It is much too rapid.27．What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?A．Lessens.B．Grows.C．Happens.D．Focuses.Recently, research on how a new virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) experience educated primary children about the fire disasters was done. It was developed by the University of South Australia, aiming to educate children to learn how to be safer in a fire.Focusing on children aged 10-12 years old, the new VR experience presents a situation where children are tasked to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins to spread. They participate in a series of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.The findings showed that more than 80 percent of children reported that they felt more confident to calmly assess the situation and make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. This isl especially important considering that 91 percent of participants originally lacked any knowledge of fires, and that 67 percent had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.The researchers believed such immersive (沉浸式的) VR experiences had real potential (潜力) to attract and educate the young. “As children born in digital times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events realistically yet within the safe environment.” said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. “Well-designed VR can provide a chance for children to apply newly-acquired knowledge, strengthen their learnt concepts, and enable immediate reaction—all incredibly valuable learning tools.”Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren’t as physically strong, and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they’re often most at risk. Yet theability for children to contribute to fire safety at their household should not be underestimated (低估).“Children do not need to be passively attacked by disasters and with purpose-built virtual reality experiences such as these, we can help children understand the risks and realize they can help,” said Weber.28．How does the new VR experience try to educate children?A．By introducing a virtual friend to them.B．By finding the causes of a fire event.C．By letting them solve virtual problems.D．By guiding them to ask a dog for help. 29．What did the result of the research about VR experiences show?A．Many children found it hard to adapt to them.B．They helped children deal with fire postively.C．They benefited children with knowledge of animals.D．Most children had a misunderstanding about them.30．What is Weber’s attitude towards the new VR experiences?A．Doubtful.B．Indifferent.C．Disapproving.D．Supportive. 31．What can be the most suitable title for the text?A．VR experiences educate kids to survive a fire B．VR experiences make learning easier for kidsC．VR education appeals to the young generation D．VR technology makes no sense in fighting a fire.Dr. Degenaar came into the lecture room on the first Friday morning of the term and asked us to write down our own understanding of the “soul”. Here was the “teacher” asking us what we thought — it was really an exciting experience. He was not telling us what he thought but asking us how we saw something. The following discussion was interesting. That was my first experience of real learning in a classroom.Almost 50 years have passed since that experience. Of the other lecturers who “taught” me during that year, I remember they “taught” me the history of Greek philosophy (哲学), but I remember little of that history and nothing of those lecturers. And most of what I remember about Greek philosophy is what I learned in Dr. Degenaar’s class, for my own interest.I took further courses with Dr. Degenaar in the following years. Lake the first class, there was little “lecturing” at us, but far more involvement (参与) of us all in a process ofcommon discovery in which we learned a lot about each other and the key points of the day. The excitement of discovery stays with me. Then it took me almost another 20 years to get a deeper understanding of what had happened in that lecture hall: experiential learning.Traditionally, learners have been seen as “empty containers” waiting to be “filled” with learning given them by the teacher. The learner is, therefore, dependent on the teacher for what to think and how to think. Compliance (遵从) is rewarded and so independent and original thinking is not developed.In comparison, in experiential learning, the learner is encouraged to think for himself/herself not to repeat the thought patterns of the teacher. The learning happens not because of what a “teacher” or “lecturer” says but because of what the learner does. In this sense, I think this is the best way to learn and everyone should try it and learn from it. 32．Which word best describes the author’s first Greek philosophy class?A．Boring.B．Amazing.C．Confusing.D．Depressing. 33．Why does the author compare Dr. Degenaar and the other lecturers?A．To praise Dr. Degenaar’s attitude to his job.B．To stress Dr. Degenaar’s great influence on him.C．To point out Dr. Degenaar’s popularity among students.D．To show the author’s deep interest in Greek philosophy.34．How does experiential learning differ from traditional learning?A．It has no specific learning places.B．It applies knowledge to medical care.C．It encourages independent thinking.D．It focuses more on the result of learning. 35．What is the text mainly about?A．A respected teacher.B．A favorite university lesson.C．The factors of experiential learning.D．An effective learning method.There are so many ways to explore in regard to finding new happiness.

So hoist the anchor, throw off the bowlines, catch the following wind, and set sail on a voyage of discovery to create memories that will last a lifetime.Where to GoThe beauty of a sailing gap year is that you don’t just visit a single place. Thes e unique adventures can take you across oceans and whole regions to experience dozens of countries in a single gap year. Some programs combine several regions including the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, etc. while others stick to just one.CostsHow much a sailing gap year costs varies greatly depending on the type of program and the length of the voyage. A program lasting a few weeks may cost S$ 5,000 or more. Months long adventures may be as much as $20.000, especially if they involve college credit or other coursework.VisaVisa requirements will vary depending on where your voyage takes you. Your program will inform you of which visas you’ll need. Make sure you obtain your visas well in advance.HousingHousing will consist of a berth (铺位) aboard your boat. Don’t expect anything fancy. You’ll likely have little more than a bed and a small storage locker in a two-or three-person cabin. Given the limited size of your living space, expect to stay close to your crewmates at all times with little real privacy.Health & SafetyLiving aboard a ship means that you can’t always count on having medical facilities (设施) nearby. You may be asked to provide a note from your doctor confirming that you are in good health before being accepted into your program. Most programs include medical emergency insurance as part of their fees. See what it covers and what it doesn’t when making your decisions.16. What do the sailing programs provide for participants?A．Journeys by land.B．Chances to study abroad.C．Courses of famous universities.D．Opportunities to travel around the world.17. What do you have to do before entering for the programs?A．Ask parents for advice. B．Save as much as $ 20,000.C．Obtain your proper visa. D．Have a medical examination.18. Which word can best describe the living conditions in the programs?A．Tough. B．Fancy. C．Noisy. D．Comfortable.At schools across the United States，students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat，sodium，and sugar．But kids at Public School(P．S．)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience．Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables．P．S．216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project，a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995．The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum．Students grow and maintain crops，harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals．Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement．She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students．Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from．In 1993，she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden．It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obamastarted the garden in the backyard of the White House．She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden，often with help from local school children．“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from，”Waters said，praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health．“We are just building this movement，and it is very exciting．”“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project，students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom．”Neglia said．“P．S．216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture，nutrition，food safety，and the restaurant business．”Similar classes are taking place around the country．So far，the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools．“I'm thinking about the future of the planet，”Waters said．“I'm doing this for our generation．”19. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project?A．To reduce students’stress．B．To let students eat healthy food．C．To improve schools’environment．D．To expect students to experience farming．20. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A．The project made Waters famous,B．Running a garden was too difficult for students．C．Waters thought highly of what Michelle Obama did．D．The former First Lady should care about young people．21.

What can be the best title for the text?A．Students should eat healthily B．A famous school—P．S．216C．Processed foods should be advised D．A chef helps create green schoolyardsA method to transform a commonly thrown-away plastic to a resin (树脂) used in 3D printing could allow making better use of plastic waste, A team of Washington State University researchers developed a simple and efficient way to transform polyactic acid (PLA) (聚乳酸), a bio-based plastic used in products such as filament, plastic silverware and food packaging to high-quality resin.“We found a way to immediately turn this into something that’s stronger and better, and we hope that will provide people with the inspiration to upcycle this stuff instead of just throw i t away,” said Yu-Chung Chang, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and a co-corresponding author on the work. “We made stronger materials just straight out of trash. We believe this could be a great opportunit y.”Although it’s bio-based, PLA, which is categorized as a number 7 plastic, doesn’t bread down easily. It can float in fresh or salt water for a year without degrading (降解). It is also rarely recycled because like many plastics, when it’s melted down and re-formed, it doesn’t perform as well as the original version and becomes less valuable.“It’s biodegradable and compostable, but once you look into it, it turns out that it can take up to 100 years for it to rot away in a landfill,” Chang said. “In reali ty, it still creates a lot of pollution. We want to make sure that when we do start producing PLA on the million-tons scale, we will know how to deal with it.”While the researchers focused on PLA for the study, they hope to apply the work to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (涤纶树脂), which is more common than PLA and has a similar chemical structure and present a bigger waste problem. They have filed a temporary patent and are working further optimize (优化) the process. The researchers ane also looking into other applications for the upcycling method.23. What can the method help do according to paragraph 1?A．Solve financial crisis.B．Change waste into wealth.C．Control plastic productionD．Determine 3D printing skills24. What does Yu-Chung Chang think of the method?A．Promising B．UnrealisticC．Imaginable D．Common25. Which of the following is a feature of number 7 plastics?A．Invaluable to recycle B．Easy to deal withC．Hard to break down D．Difficult to sort out.26. What is the text mainly about?A．Applications for an upcycling method.B．A better method to break down plasticC．3D printing with newly found materialsD．A new way to turn plastic into valuable products.The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers fr om getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that wi ll be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.27. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?A．Panicked. B．Confused. C．Embarrassed. D．Disappointed. 28. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.A．aim at victims precisely B．damage databases easilyC．start campaigns rapidly D．spread information widely29. What does the passage imply?A．Honesty is the best policy.B．Technologies can be double-edged.C．There are more solutions than problems.D．Credibility holds the key to development.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Where the Problem of Robocalls Is RootedB．Who Is to Blame for the Problem of RobocallsC．Why Robocalls Are About to Get More DangerousD．How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of TechnologyThere are frequent reports on the need of volunteers in so many different charitable organizations． 31 There are actually many ways to find opportunities to help others．When a person is looking for volunteer opportunities and doesn’t care where he volunteers，a good place to look for jobs is through local volunteer centers．These centers may have lists，much like classified ads，requesting volunteers in a variety of fields．It can help to choose a volunteer position that will take advantage of work or life experience． 32 Other employers and companies may not be that picky and are willing to take on anyone who has enthusiasm for the work．Sometimes people want to become a volunteer in a specific type of work． 33 The best route may be to contact these facilities and find out what available volunteer programs they have．Some programs may require job applications and training，and this training isn’t always free．Looking around at a few programs can help people find the ones that don’t charge for training．34 Schools may additionally have volunteer job listings that can help people become a volunteer．Sometimes listings for jobs are exclusive(独有的) to the school and people may find work as tutors or administrative assistants．It isn’t always necessary to look at non-profit companies to find volunteer opportunities．Plenty of individuals and for-profit companies may benef it from volunteers’help too．A volunteer babysitter or someone who helps a neighbor with the housework can make a big difference in a community．Volunteering doesn’t have to be a full-time commitment． 35I believe I have a personal duty to make a positive impact on society.

Reading (30’)ATeenagers at one German school are learning how to achieve happiness alongside other traditional subjects such as math and languages．The class sit in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten, someone starts，the next voice comes from the far right，a third from the other side．The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing(冲突)with another voice or leaving a pause．On the first try，most of the young Germans try to be first，while a few are too shy to join in，but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm．The message：give other people space but also confidently claim your own．This is a requirement for social well--being．The Willy Hellpach School in Heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course---It is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams．“The course isn‟t there to make you happy，”Ernst Fritz Sehubert．the school principal warned pupils，“but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy．”Cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises．Improving body language under theguidance of two professional actresses is another．The course is taught for three periods a week．Despite the happy subject，the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter．“In the fi rst period，we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves．No laughing at people，”said Fanny，17．Research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes：they also exist at some US universities，but are mainly based on positive thinking，using findings from studies of depression．“That would be too one-sided for us．We want to show how delicious food or exercise can help，too，”the principal said．26.What‟s the purpose of this passage?A．To introduce the happiness courseB.

What would be the best title of this passage?A. Basic things for happiness B．Having a try to be happyC. Learning how to be happy D．Laughing a lot at schoolB“When one of the doctors criticizes (批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I‟m not wrong.” Says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.When Sol was criticized by his new empl oyer for not having made a sale, Sol‟s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person‟s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing”. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila. “His criticism didn‟t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila‟s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that‟s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn‟t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.31.

Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people theylook more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.36. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ________.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform37. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform ________.A. suggests quality workB. loses his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes38. The chief function of a uniform is to ________.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC. in spire the wearer‟s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity39. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ________.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity40.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的), he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special-needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they want to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge the pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attentio n to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The effort made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 — being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great result,” she often said.19.

Thirsty tomato and tobacco plants make clicking sounds, researchers have found. The sounds are ultrasonic (超声波的), meaning they are too high-pitched for human ears to hear. But when the sounds are transformed to lower pitches, they sound like popping bubbles (爆破的泡泡). Plants also make clicks when their stems (茎) are cut.“It’s not like the plants are screaming,” says Lilach Hadany, an evol utionary biologist working at Tel Aviv University in Israel. “Plants may not mean to make these noises. We’ve shown only that plants create informative sounds.”Hadany and her colleagues first heard the clicks when they set microphones next to plants on tables in a lab. The microphones caught some noises. But the researchers needed to make sure that the clicking was coming from the plants. So, the scientists placed plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement, far from the noise of the lab. There, microphones picked up ultrasonic pops from thirsty tomato plants. Though it was outside humans’ hearing range, the clicking made by plants was about as loud as a normal conversation.Cut tomato plants and dry or cut tobacco plants clicked, too. But plants that had enough water or hadn’t been cut stayed mostly quiet. Wheat, corn and grapevines also made sounds when stressed out.The researchers don’t yet know why plants click. Bubbles forming and then popping inside plant tissues that transport water might make the noises. But however they happen, pops from crops could help farmers, the researchers suggest. Microphones, for example, could monitor fields or greenhouses to detect when plants need to be irrigated (灌溉).Hadany wonders whether other plants and insects already tune into plant pops. Other studies have suggested that plants respond to sounds. And animals from pests (害虫), moths to mice can hear in the range of the ultrasonic clicks. Sounds made by plants could be heard from around five metersaway. Hadany’s t eam is now studying what the living things near the plants will do after hearing the sounds.23. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Interpreting plant sounds isn’t easy.B．Plants sound off when they’re in trouble.C．It’s interesting to hear the sounds of plants.D．Plants make sounds in a different way from humans.24. Why did the scientists put plants inside soundproof boxes in the basement?A．To enjoy the sounds made by the plants.B．To have a better conversation with the plants.C．To find out whether the plants did make sounds.D．To keep the plant sounds within their hearing range.25. In what way can microphones be used to benefit plants?A．Weed prevention. B．Pest control.C．Temperature monitoring. D．Timely irrigation.26. What still remains unknown to Hadany’s team?A．Whether the sounds of plants can travel far.B．Whether animals can hear the sounds of plants.C．How the neighbors of plants respond to their sounds.D．How plants and animals communicate with each other.You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory.“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thoma s Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep.Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable. Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent (连贯的) seem to be better remembered.If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.27. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in Par agraph 3 probably mean?A．Inactive. B．Short-lived. C．Significant. D．Slight.28. You can remember your dreams more easily when you wake up probably because ______.A．your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherentB．you are forgetful and poor in remembering thingsC．your hippocampus is active in receiving new informationD．your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory29. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream?A．Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams.B．Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening.C．Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information.D．Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up.30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To tell the importance of dreams.B．To present some methods to recall dreams.C．To explain our forgetfulness in dreams.D．To analyze how our brain deal with information.You can choose happiness regardless of your circumstances.
