In reality, people today are 11 than ever before and getting the whole family together for an evening meal is often 12 , as all members of the family have their own activities to get on with. For most of us, sitting down together at the 13 table is a thing of the past, but what effect does this have on family members and the relationships between them?One of the most important 14 of eating together as a family is that the family has a chance to communicate 15 with one another in a social environment. Many families 16 that the evening meal is the best time to discuss problems and share experiences. “Eating together makes us feel 17 , and we often have our most useful conversations at these times,〞says Jane Digby, mother of three. So, although organizing a family meal everyday can be a(n) 18 , it can benefit family relationships.In addition, family meals help to improve children’s 19 skills. They learn how to talk, how to listen and how to show consideration for other 20 in the conversation. Furthermore, eating together gives 21 a sense of security. Family psychotherapist (心理治疗专家) Sue Taylor believes that children who eat with their 22 are far more confident as well as much more faithful to their families than children who don’t.In spite of the many advantages of eating together, the 23 of modern life make it almostimpossible for many people to do so. However, Sue Taylor insists that we should try to make 24 for family meals. “Mealtimes are the most valuable time a fami ly can spend together,〞she says. “If you can’t eat together every day, why not 25 and eat together three or four times a week? It really is worth the effort.〞11. A. smarter B. busier C. luckier D. happier12. A. convenient B. necessary C. impossible D. important13. A. corner B. dinner C. window D. problems14.

广东惠来一中、揭东一中高一下期末英语卷（带解析）_6When I first heard about geocaching（地理寻宝），I was skeptical. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like an interesting idea. I at least wanted to try it once.Having familiarized myself with how the game works, I set out in search of my first cache. My trip took me through a series of lively hutong（胡同), past a number of small temples, and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel. I spent several minutes looking around, but couldn't find anything. Just before I was about to give up, I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall. Could it be the hidden cache?At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the game's rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches. So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave. When the coast was clear, I grabbed the object. It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled（皱的）sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it. I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find.It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting. Once you're hooked, it's easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city. The real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to.Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn't even know existed. Some are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sites. A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought. Now, I feel a much closer connection.【小题1】What was the author's initial（最初的） attitude to geocaching?A．He thought it was interesting.B．He wanted to try it at once.C．He showed little interest in it.D．He found it unsuitable for him.【小题2】When a group of backpackers were approaching, the author____________.A．pretended to be cleaning the yardB．made a call to other geocachersC．didn't allow them to come inD．tried to keep the cache secret【小题3】In what way does the author benefit from geocaching?A．He's more familiar with the city.B．He has found much treasure.C．He has made more friends.D．He has mastered hunting.。

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’ break between classes. Bu t when the bell for the next class rings, you can 1 believe how fast time has passed. If you are 2 with this scene, you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and 3 when you are bored. Now scientists have come up with a reason why this is the case.Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 4 according to how we focus on a task. When our time is occupied with 5 things, we concentrate more on how time is passing, which makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.In an experiment 6 by a French laboratory, 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers7 their brain activity. The volunteers were told to first concentrate on how long a(an)8 stayed on the screen, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both the 9of time and color.The results showed that the brain was 10 when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects. It is thought that if the brain is 11 , focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays less attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really 12 it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it devotes all its energies to monitoring the 13of time, 14 creating the impression that time is dragging.Next time you feel 15 in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!1.

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones-the kind of modern, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines．But the US has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be incredibly 1 to tear them all down and 2 them with greener versions．An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses．And it would take an average of 65 years for the 3 carbon emissions (排放) from a(an) __4 _ energy-efficient (节能) home to make up for the 5 lost by destroying an old one．So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built．But at the same time, 6 half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our 7 , offices and other buildings．"You can't deal with climate 8 without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust．With some exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the 9 energy-efficient．Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that 10 over time and let in more outside 11 .12 ,there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from 13 ones like Lincoln's Cottage to your own postwar home．And efficiency upgrades (升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help 14 property owners from rising power 15 .1．A．terrible B．wasteful C．wonderful D．useful2．A．put B．build C．replace D．take3．A．reduced B．increased C．used D．destroyed4．A．old B．fashionable C．new D．beautiful 5．A．magazines B．trees C．materials D．resources6．A．nearly B．hardly C．rarely D．mostly7．A．libraries B．schools C．homes D．stores 8．A．improvement B．appearance C．stability D．change9．A．most B．really C．very D．least10．A．expand B．narrow C．strengthen D．weaken11．A．dust B．air C．smoke D．water12．A．Oppositely B．Unfortunately C．Fortunately D．Frankly13．A．historic B．worthless C．ordinary D．meaningless 14．A．charge B．protect C．punish D．warn15．A．prices B．costs C．businesses D．bargains第二节语法填空（共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卷上标号为16~25的相应位置上。

Day in and day out, Mr Tony Tay and his team prepare, cook, pack and deliver the food to various parts of the island. This team of caring volunteers from all walks of life work tirelessly to bring a smile to the less privileged, bringing warmth and kindness into their lives!During one of his visits to collect vegetables and distribute them to a less privileged neighbourhood, his wife noticed that the elderly folk did not take vegetables. Upon asking for the reason, one replied that she could not cook and thus only ate the rice delivered to her. Mrs Tay then offered to cook for her, and that single meal initiated Willing Hearts, which has since served nearly 650,000 meals and counting.Since the organisation’s early days, volunteers have learned how to cook, interact with people from all walks of life, pick up different languages, gain greater knowledge about social issues, and most importantly, build strong bonds with one another. Through Willing Hearts, Mr Tay hopes to expose the younger generation to the country’s backyard, to allow them to see and experience firsthand what goes on behind closed doors. This is to encourage them to become more compassionate individuals who understand the importance of taking care of the elderly, and be inspired to foster unity within their own families. His best gift during the course of this journey is seeing how younger volunteers help and feed the less privileged. One volunteer, he proudly tells us, has been inspired to start his own programme to help the needy.As a non-profit organization, Willing Hearts relies heavily on donations and food collections. Although the volunteers at Wiling Hearts may be a small and irregular group, they are always on the lookout for the poor to extend their assistance to them.24. What best describes Mr Tay’s job?A. Professional.B. Demanding.C. Well-paid.D. Urgent.25. What inspires Mr Tay to found Willing Hearts?A. Visits to the neighbourhood.B. Smiles from the less privileged.C. Encouragement from his wife.D. One service to an old lady.26. What does the underlined word “compassionate” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Qualified.B. Sympathetic.C. Wealthy.D. Dynamic.27. What is the main purpose in setting up Willing Hearts?A. To pick up different languages.B. To enhance unity within society.C. To encourage youths to assist the needy.D. To strengthen solid relationship with people.CWhen it comes to balancing the needs of humans and the needs of nature, historically it was “develop or conserve” or “develop or restore”. However, now conservation methods are increasingly focusing on coexistence with nature and ecological resilience (恢复力).The traditional model in coastal protection is that you build some kind of hard, fixed structures like a seawall, but conventional seawalls can have negative effects on biodiversity, habitats, nutrient cycling and the environment at large. “In this case, coastal protection and biodiversity are really at odds,” says Carter Smith, who researches coastal restoration.That’s where living shorelines come in. Living shorelines incorporate plants and natural materials like sand and rock to stabilize coastal areas and protect them from storms while also creating more natural habitats and minimizing environmental destruction. Smith and his colleagues studied how living shorelines performed during multiple hurricanes and found that living shorelines had significantly less “visible damage or erosion” compared to sites with conventional storm protection infrastructure.In addition to living shorelines, predators ( 捕食者) also play important roles in restoring ocean ecosystems. “One of the best examples we have of top predators facilitating ecosystems are tiger sharks in Australia,” says Prof. Brian Silliman, one of Smith’s colleagues. When the sharks are around, sea turtles eat fewer sea plants. “It’s not because the sharks eat a lot of sea turtles but because they scare them toward the shoreline.”When physical stressors like climate change reach a certain point in a given ecosystem, wildlife can rapidly decline. But wildlife that is adjusted to coexisting with a top predator may have a higher stress threshold (阈值). In our ever-changing world, the ability to adapt is as important as ever. “I think there’s great optimism and opportunity here,” Silliman says. “There is so much that we can learn from nature, and the more we can learn to coexist and to integrate our society with thriving ecosystems, the better it will be for everyone,” Smith agrees.28. What is implied in paragraph 1?A. The balance between humans and nature.B. The improvement in ecological resilience.C. A promising consequence of nature restoration.D. A shift in the environmental protection strategy.29. What’s the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To present Smith’s research achievements.B. To demonstrate the significance of shorelines.C. To explain the function of conventional seawalls.D. To show the problem of old-fashioned protection.30. How do tiger sharks help restore the ocean ecosystem?A. By regulating sea turtles’ behavior.B. By influencing sea turtles’ population.C. By removing sea plants from their habitat.D. By preventing physical stressors occurring.31. What tone do Silliman and Smith take in the last paragraph?A. Skeptical.B. Cautious.C. Hopeful.D. Urgent.DThe Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.32. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?A. Take an examination alone.B. Share their treats with others.C. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.D. Show respect for the researchers.33. According to Paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ________.A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetitesB. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needsC. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fitD. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains34. What does the author suggest readers do?A. Be selective information consumers.B. Absorb new information readily.C. Use diverse information sources.D. Protect the information environment.35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Eat Less, Read MoreB. The Later, the BetterC. The Marshmallow Test for GrownupsD. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A.A teenager realized her dream of becoming a professional model three years after a serious car accident.Marita Davies was on her way home from a party when the crash happened. The car that Marita took as a passenger was going the wrong way and crashed into another car driven by a drunken driver named David Hudson, which left her with a broken leg and back. It took the firefighters more than two hours to free the teenager from the damaged car before she was taken to hospital. Marita was in a wheelchair for a year after being bed-ridden for nine months.Marita feared her dream of a modeling career was over. She said, “I was extremely upset and shocked when I knew about my terrible injuries. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg and back were broken. The crash had broken my confidence and I became quiet and spent less time with other people. I was 16, and at that age all I wanted to do was go out with my friends.”But as her health took a turn for the better, Marita finally came out of the wheelchair and learned to walk. She decided she would still try to follow her dreams, and sent some photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college.

Semler Junior worked like a mad man，from 7：30 am，until midnight every day. One afternoon，while touring a factory in New York，he collapsed. The doctor who treated him said，"There's nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, you'll find a new home in our hospital. "Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact，he changed the ways his employees worked too.He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries，and he cut all the jobs he thoughtwere unnecessary，like receptionists and secretaries. This saved money and brought more equality to the company. "Everyone at Semco，even top managers，meets guests in reception，does the photocopying，sends faxes，types letters and dials the phone."He completely reorganized the office：instead of walls，they have plants at Semco，so bosses can't shut themselves away from everyone else. And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want. As for uniforms，some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.Semco has flexible working hours：the employees decide when they need to arrive at work. Also，Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects，and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.It sounds perfect，but does it work? The answer is in the numbers：in the last six years，Semco's revenues have gone from$35 million to$212 million. The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3，000. Why?Semler says it's because of "peer pressure". Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else. If someone isn't doing his job well，the other workers will not allow the situation to continue. In other words，Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults rather than children, and expects them to act like responsible adults. And they do.【小题1】According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is True?A. Ricardo Semler is a 21-year employer.B. Semco is the name of a ship.C.

The roots of this form of affection can be traced back to primitive times, when mothers fondled their children, much as mothers do today.Much later, in the sixth century, society apparently accepted the custom of kissing between adults as an expression of their affection. Not surprisingly, France first accepted kissing in courtship（求爱）. There, figure dancing was popular, and each dance was sealed with a kiss.The custom of kissing swept from France through Europe to Russia, where Russian nobility loved to imitate the French. Eventually, the kiss was incorporated into marriage ceremonies, and today lip locks couples into sweet matrimony.The custom of kissing today, as well as in ancient times, serves to pay homage to another. Early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another in a manner they thought to b e dignified. One Roman emperor even ranked a person’s importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.In Russia, the highest sign of recognition from the Crown meant a kiss from the Tsar himself. Today, natives of many African tribes pay homage to their Chief by kissing the ground over which he has walked.【小题1】What’s mainly talked about in the passage?A. The way to express love and respect.B. The expression of affection.C. The custom of kissing.D. The function of kissing.【小题2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word“homage” in the 4th paragraph?A. recognitionB. respectC. importanceD. loyalty【小题3】It can be learned from the passage that _______ .A. kissing is a widely accepted way to show love and affection.B. kissing used to be a proper way to show love on the wedding ceremony.C. kissing is a widely accepted of greeting in the world.D. kissing from the Tsar is the only sign of being accepted from the Crown.【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It was France that made the custom of kissing go to the whole world.B. Early Africans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another.C. One Roman emperor allowed important nobles to kiss his nose.D. Russian nobility followed the custom of kissing from the French.【小题5】We can infer from the passage that _______ .A. mothers created the custom of kissingB. kissing means differently on different occasionsC. figure dancing was usually sealed with a kiss in RussiaD. society found it hard to accept kissing in public in the sixth century.【答案】【解析】考点：考查社会生活类短文D.There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disastersin thefuture. Some of the world’s leading cities are fa cing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondon’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 31 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadlyheat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal—fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.【小题1】What problem should be settled now in London?A. How to protect the city’s propertyB. Where to build its flood defencesC. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the cityD. How to improve the function of the old flood defences【小题3】The major threats to Shanghai are __________.A. increasing population and coal-fired power stationsB. rising sea levels and typhoonsC. extremely high temperature and rising sea levelsD. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons【小题4】The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to tell us how to protect the big citiesB. to give advice on how to defend natural disastersC. to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities【小题5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Big Cities Facing Big DisastersB. Big Disasters in the FutureC. The Increase of Natural DisastersD.
