Many organisms (有机体) in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground. They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until conditions improve.What are these? They are called fungi (菌类), and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting, such as the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator. But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast (酵母) that is used to make bread and mushrooms are both fungi.What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get around too, but they don’t have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll (叶绿素). It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athlete’s foot, which makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines, which have saved many lives.Fungi clean up more than wounds, though. They are the w orld’s first recyclers. Without fungi, our world would be a mess. Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food elsewhere. Many fungi get their food from dead plants. They break them down and turn them into soil. The fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning.55. What does the underlined word “disgusting” most probably mean?A. strong.B. unpleasant.C. active.D. small.56. According to the passage, .A. fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB. fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC. some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlightD. some fungi are useful to humans and the environment57. Where can you most probably find this passage?A. In a social report.B. In a biology book.C. In a geography magazine.D. In a farming book.参考答案：55-57. BDB。

14-15学年新课标高一上学期期中测试ⅡClass: Name: Marks: 满分（120）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThere is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief (悲痛), she went to the holy man (圣人) and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or saying a few words to comfort her, the holy man said to her, “Bring me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical seed.She first came to a beautiful castle, knocked at the door, and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.”They told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And then they began to describe all the bad things that had recently happened to them.The woman said to herself, “Who is better able to help these unfortunate people than I?” So she stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels or in other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.The woman became so busy helping others to deal with their sorrows that she finally let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was the search for the magical mustard seed that drove away her suffering.1. Leaving the holy man, the woman .A. was full of hopeB. was filled with sadnessC. was determined to try againD. became discouraged2. The “magical seed” refers to “”.A. a cure for sorrowB. being open to othersC. showing respect to othersD. a home that has never known sorrow3. We can learn from the passage that .A. the holy man was playing a trick on the womanB. the woman didn’t go to the right place for the seedC. a mustard seed would bring the woman’s son back to lifeD. the woman was curing herself of sorrow while looking for the seed4. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?A. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.B. Time passed cannot be called back again.C. You can’t feel happy unless comparing with others.D. You can’t expect to know the result until you have tried.B5. Whom would the magazine Zootles most probably attract?A. Young kids who like simple rhymes.B. Young kids who are fond of animals.C. Children who love interesting stories.D. Teenagers who want to gain basic skills.6. What do we know about the magazine Thomas & Friends?A. It mainly tells young kids about friendship.B. It cannot help children who want activities.C. It tells stories that happen in a magical world.D. It publishes stories written by Thomas and his friends.7. If a parent wants his/her kids to know different cultures, he/she should buy .A. ZoobiesB. BabybugC. Highlights High FiveD. National Geographic Little Kids8. We can infer that the activities, puzzles and non-fiction given in Highlights High Five are aimed at helping kids .a. know how to reasonb. solve problems betterc. find their favorite animalsd. express themselves clearlye. recognize colors, shapes and sizesA. abdB. bcdC. abcD. cdeCReading is important, but getting kids to enjoy reading can be quite difficult. There are two steps you can take to help kids to enjoy reading. Firstly you need to find something they actually want to read. Then, you need to get them to read school books, but this is not the place to start.So how do you choose something for your kids to read? You have to find out what your kids enjoy. It doesn’t matter what you buy, so long as your kids will find it interesting. A book given as a reward (奖励) will often be more enjoyed by kids. If your kids have just done well at something, this is a good time to give them a new book.The second thing you need to consider is where your kids are going to read. I strongly suggest creating a “reading space” in their room and also a time for them to read on their own, ideally just before bed time.There is another way to really speed up your kids’ reading. It is to get them writing. When you set up their “reading space”, be sure to give them a diary and a pen. Just by writing a few sentences each day they will improve their skills.So to successfully get your kids to enjoy reading you need to create them a space in which they read, give them something fun to read, and improve their skills through writing. Before you know it, their abilities will have moved forward and you will be amazed at their progress. Of course, remember all the time to reward good reading with more books.9. The author wrote this passage to .A. show us how to speed up our readingB. tell us the benefits of reading for kidsC. give us some tips on how to get kids to enjoy readingD. give us examples of how to choose proper books for kids10. Whom is this passage intended for?A. Teachers.B. Kids.C. Parents.D. Workers.11. Which of the following methods will most probably get kids to value their books?A. Giving them books as a reward.B. Reading books together with them.C. Choosing books they like.D. Giving them a reading space.DResearchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played an important role in how people were perceived (感知) by others. They concluded that the easier a person’s name was to say, the better their successwas in the workplace and the quicker career advancement (提升) they enjoyed. Their study also found that a simple name improved people’s ability to make new fr iends.Dr. Simon Laham, who led the study, said people with simple names were generally judged more positively (积极地). “The effect is not because of the length of a name or how foreign-sounding or unusual it is, but rather how easy it is to pronounce,” he said.In their study the team studied the way names can influence a person’s impressions and decision making. They looked at lots of names of 500 university student volunteers from British, Asian, and European backgrounds and a field of 500 lawyers in America. The team found that people with more pronounceable names were more likely to achieve success. They found that American lawyers with easier sounding names got career advancement faster within their law firms. Names including Sherman, Jenkins, Benson, and Angus ranked among the easiest to pronounce, while Farquharson and Loughnane and European names such as Leszczynska were found to be difficult to pronounce. They concluded that a simple name was the key to success.Dr. Laham said the results could have important implications (意义) for how managers dealt with bias (偏见). “It’s important to treat the biases that shape our choices and judgments about others,” he said. “It may help remove bias, leading to fairer, more objective treatment of others.”12. What factor of a name plays the key role in deciding its effect?A. The length of the name.B. The pronunciation of the name.C. The meaning of the name.D. Whether the name is unusual or not.13. The underlined part “pronounceable names” in Para. 3 refers to names that .A. can be spelled easilyB. can’t be pronounced easilyC. can be pronounced without difficultyD. sound like foreign names14. Which of the following would Dr. Laham most probably agree with?A. People should use simple names to avoid biases.B. Foreign names are considered to be hard to pronounce.C.
