外研版高二（上）期末英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分25.0分）第一节（共3小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．1．（7.5分）I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines （疫苗） cause brain damage，and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society． The only shot I received was for tetanus （破伤风） when I was two months old． After that， nothing．At the beginning of each school year， I was very nervous． Delayed term paper？ Mischievous （捣蛋的） behavior？ Late for school？ None of them． I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office． The school doctor would tell me I hadn't received any of the necessary shots to attend school． But the same thing occurred each time： my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen． After doing a lot of research， I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group， they can cause major consequences． People who， for health or age reasons，cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease．Eventually， I turned 18． In Ohio， where I live， I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots． A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit． Last November， I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor． After my post received more than 1，000 comments， I made an appointment with my family physician． Despite how strongly my mother felt， I went through with it anyway．I did something every person should do． It wasn't special in any way． Vaccines protect the health andsafety of not only yourself but also other people． Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don't get vaccinated． This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition．（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster's office at the beginning of each school year？A． He was late for school．B． He didn't behave himself at school．C． He couldn't hand in his term paper on time．D． He was hardly ever vaccinated．（2）How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician？A． Annoyed．B． Grateful．C． Thrilled．D． Guilty．（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story？A． Listening to your mother pays off．B． Doing the right thing matters．C． Keeping fit is the best policy．D． Asking for advice helps．2．（10分）When did you last buy something？Maybe you are looking forward to a shopping trip at the weekend， but will it make you happy？ In the short term， the answer might be yes． However， some people think it might not be good for our health and happiness in the long term．One of the busiest shopping days of the year in the USA is Black Friday （the fourth Friday of November），which has spread around the world． However， not everyone will be queuing for a bargain． In 1992，Buy Nothing Day started in Canada and now more than sixty countries take part． Their message is simple："Participate by not participating．" For twenty﹣four hours on the fourth Friday of November， people do not buy anything at all． Some people choose to spend time with friends and family instead． Others join protests． But what's the point？Every single purchase that you make has some kind of an effect on the planet． Making the products and transporting them to the shops use a lot of natural resources． When they are no longer in fashion， the products will end up in the dustbin． All this contributes to air and water pollution， the destruction of our environment and social inequality．The social influence of our spending habits is also serious． People in consumerist culture are more likely to suffer from financial problems and stress． In order to buy expensive products， people work long hours and therefore spend less time with family and friends．Critics of Buy Nothing Day say it's meaningless because people will just buy more the following day． But the organizers argue that Buy Nothing Day makes people think about the consequences of consumption and maybe make some changes to their life style．（1）Why is the question "When did you last buy something？" asked？A． To remind us of the approaching of Black Friday．B． To attach importance to our health and happiness．C． To introduce the topic of shopping too much．D． To encourage us to participate in Buy Nothing Day．（2）How can people participate in Buy Nothing Day？A． By not participating in any advertisement for Black Friday．B． By not buying anything on four Fridays of November．C． By spending time shopping with friends and family．D． By not going shopping on Black Friday．（3）What's NOT the point of Buy Nothing Day？A． Saving time spent on working．B． Saving the environment and our earth．C． Saving money for charity．D． Saving our relationship with friends and family．（4）What's the organizers' opinion on Buy Nothing Day？A． It can make a difference in some way．B． It won't have a lasting effect．C． It can help people choose goods more reasonably．D． It can cure people's shopping addiction．3．（7.5分）Of all the places stray （流浪的）cats can live in Beijing，perhaps none provides greater companionship than an underground facility known as the "Cat Shed"． A variety of cats are spread across the shed's 100 square meters． They jump and play on toy towers or rest on cotton blankets on iron﹣framed beds．Since the facility was established in 2012， some 150 cats have lived there． More than 100 volunteers attend to the strays． Many claim that they gain greater benefit from the interaction than the cats， because the animals offer not just companionship， but also a kind of healing．The "housekeeper" is Yin Yi， a doctoral candidate at the Central Iron and Steel Research Institute in Beijing． When the 29﹣year﹣old arrived in the capital in late 2015， he faced huge pressure from his studies and personal relationships， while the alien environment exacerbated his feeling of loneliness． After gaining a master's from a university in Inner Mongolia， Yin relocated to go for a doctorate in material sciences． Accustomed to having friends around， he was not used to a lonely life， especially working by himself and spending up to 10 hours in a lab most days． To improve his mood， he decided to contact animal bases， looking for opportunities to care for stray cats． When he heard that a stray cat basement near his campus was looking for volunteers， he contacted Wu Xinhua， who organizes activities at the Cat Shed， and was soon surrounded by furry friends． His favorite moment is when he dishes out food and a dozen strays gather round， with several rubbing against his feet． When he graduates， Yinplans to house three strays in his apartment．（1）What does the underlined word "exacerbated" in Paragraph 3 mean？A． WorsenedB． ImprovedC． ReplacedD． Touched（2）What can we learn about the Cat Shed？A． Yin Yi has rented the basement and provided facilities for the Cat Shed．B． The Cat Shed is a relaxing and warm place for volunteers．C． Wu Xinhua raises money to run the Cat Shed．D． The Cat Shed only allows volunteers to adopt cats there．（3）What is the best title for the text？A． Stray cats enjoy themselves at the Cat ShedB． Volunteers make stray cats live a better lifeC． "Stray" youngsters in Beijing need healingD． Furry friends promote stress﹣free lives第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．4．（10分）Eyesight is the sense that you rely upon the most． Since we live in a world that requires your eyes to routinely stare at the small type and images on cell phones， computer screens， and televisions， it is important for you to improve and protect your eyesight．（1）．Eyes are just like any other part of the body．（2）．Similar to other organs， a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in sugar and fatty foods will go a long way in maintaining healthy eyes．（3）．Plan to exercise your eyes when you wake up， before going to bed， or when your eyes are tired． Make sure your hands are clean so that you do not hurt your eyes and your mind is relaxed before starting．Since you use your eyes every waking moment， give them lots of rest and relaxation by taking breaks throughout the day and getting enough sleep every night to fully rest，repair，and recover your vision．（4）． In the short term， it can cause eye strain （疲劳） or dry eyes． In the long term，it can lead to damage to the optic nerve （视觉神经）， which can cause pain and damage your vision． Besides， most jobs nowadays involve some degree of computer usage， meaning almost everyone willbe spending time in front of a computer．（5）．To avoid this， you'll have to properly try to limit your screen time by routinely taking breaks and exercising your eyes．A． They need nutrition to function well．B． Close your eyes when exercising your eyes．C． A lack of sleep will weaken your vision health．D． You can enjoy your vision for the rest of your life．E． Unfortunately， this can result in eye strain or injury．F． There are many ways to keep your eyesight healthy and sharp．G． Exercising your eyes daily will help you maintain healthy

A篇Motoring writer, Simon Heptinstall once said that the most interesting thing about cars isn't the car at all. Is it true that the motorists make better stories than their motors? Here are 3 stories to help make your own decision.Henry Ford built the QuadricycleIn 1896, the great inventive engineer Henry Ford finished building his first car, called the Quadricycle, in a small shed behind his house. He became one of the world's most successful businessmen later--but this time he had badly miscalculated. The completed Quadricycle wouldn't fit out through the door. He'd built it bigger than the width of the door. Henry had to use an axe to chop out the doorframe to make the opening wider. Then he could ultimately get his pioneering creation out for its first drive. It is now an exhibit in Henry Ford Museum.Noel Gallagher forgot buying a carMillionaire rock star Noel Gallagher forgot he'd bought a brand-new classic car for £110,000. The former guitarist was puzzled when a Jaguar Mark Il arrived at his house on a delivery truck. It turned out he had ordered it two years previously. At the time he ordered it he had hoped to learn to drive--but never got round it. He forgot the whole thing, and the car still sits unused in his garage.Maria Mugno made her car hairyAccording to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s hairiest car is a Fiat 50 owned byMaria Mugno of Salerno in Italy. The Italian hairdresser has spent hundreds of hours importing bags of human hair from India, because she claims the hair is stronger. She then sticks the locks onto every surface of the car, inside and out. Her furry Fiat is still road-illegal however.( )1. What is the most interesting thing about cars according to Simon?A. The drivers.B. The price.C. The speed.D. The appearance.( )2. What do the three cars have in common?A. They are Guinness record holders.B. They are invented by their owners.C. They are not permitted to go on road.D. They are not in use for certain reasons.( )3. Where is this text probably taken from?A. An engineering textbook.B. A car advertisement.C. An automobile magazine.D. An academic article.B篇At the United Nations COP27 climate conference in Egypt, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed that the world is on a “highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator(油门)”. To keep temperature from rising 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels by 2100, we need to pull a stop on greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, we'd basically have to bring the runaway truck to a complete and immediate stop. Now is the time for us to pull back before it is too late.The climate pledges(承诺) made by nations at last year's COP26 conference felt like a positive step in the right direction, but there’s very little doubt that the average temperature rise on the Earth will pass the 1.5-degree mark in the coming decades. Can we limit this overshoot? And how might we do that?A study, released Thursday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change, tried to answerthose questions by modeling 27 different emissions reduction pathways of varying ambition. It came to an unsurprising conclusion: Countries need to act by increasing the ambition of their climate pledges. And they need to act now.The 1.5-degree rise has long been seen as a critical mark in the fight against climate change. Since the signing of the Paris Agreement at COP21 seven years ago, scientists have studied how this level of warming above preindustrial temperatures would affect the Earth. The models they’ve built show we are likely to see more extreme weather events, in addition to glacial melt, sea level rise that threatens many low-lying Pacific nations and significant loss of biodiversity once temperatures push past an increase of 1.5 degrees.Though the 1.5-degree target is practically dead, the situation isn’t hopeless. Now more than ever, there's reason to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting more ambitious goals. However, ambition alone is not enough. We also need action-investing in renewables and technologies like carbon capture and rapidly transforming our energy systems.( )4. What did Antonio Guterres try to do in the first paragraph?A. Make a request.B. Issue a warning.C. Provide a solution.D. Offer a suggestion.( )5. What was the conclusion of the study released in Nature Climate Change?A. What's done cannot be undone.B. Setting a goal is what matters.C. Action speaks louder than words.D. Failing to plan is planning to fail.( )6. What's the purpose of the models the scientists have built?A. To show the consequences of rising temperatures.B. To predict the problems with extreme weather events.C. To find the solutions to controlling global warning.D. To tell the importance of protecting the environment.( )7. How does the author end the text?A. By sharing confidence and inspiring.B. By expressing concern and criticizing.C. By voicing doubts and making complaints.D. By spreading hope and appealing for action.C篇When Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91, I didn't show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim's shows and characters over the decades.As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times's Arts &Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer's(阿尔茨海默症).“Oklahoma!" was the first musical my parent took me to, in Boston, when I was six.Around that time, I asked them why we got The Times when we didn’t live in New York. They said they still considered themselves New Yorkers and they loved Arts & Leisure and Hirschfeld’s drawings about theater. His drawings were like a lifeline for my parents to New York City over the decades, and they helped open the door for me to Sondheim.This is how:I made my way to New York in 1989, as a freshman at N. Y. U., where I met a dormmate who looked like Hirschfeld's drawing of little Red Riding Hood from Sondheim’s "Into that Woods". Her name was Daniclle Ferland. I told my parents about this Hirschfeld-in-the-flesh excitedly by phone. Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim's music which evoke(唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld's drawings.As my parents grew older, it was harder to take them to see shows with me. But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival(重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music”. They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’s drawings.( )8. What does the underlined part “an inclination" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. An ability.B. A tendency.C. An opportunity.D. A responsibility.( )9. What do Hirschfeld's drawings mean to the author?A. A difficult childhood.B. A chance to work for Broadway.C. A cure for a disease in his later years.D. An inseparable life with his parents.( 10.What10.What introduced to the author Sondheim’s music?A. Stories publicized in The Times.B. The musical his parents took him to.C. A course he signed up for at university.D. Recommendations made by his friends.( )11. What did the author's parents still remember about “A Little Night Music"?A. The time of its first staging.B. The excitement it had caused.C. The drawings of its performer.D. The performance on Broadway.D篇Fatherhood is seen as dispensable. People freely and frequently undermine(削弱) a dad’s role in child-rearing by assuming that he can't possibly be in charge of a baby on his own or by suggesting that he is such a great dad because he spent ten minutes rocking his own child to sleep. What a hero--doing something that he shouldn't have to do because, if we're all honest, it's a mum's job.Stories of fathers in the media tend to focus on their absence. Until relatively recently, fathers were either missing, played a very specific and distant role of breadwinner, or were poor idiots incapable of using a washing machine. We're programmed to believe that fathers don’t possess the ‘nurturing gene’ and that this should be the sole responsibility of the mother. The thing is, that is bullshit. Like mothers, fathers have been shaped by evolution to be biologically, psychologically and behaviorally primed to parent. The hormonal and brain changes seen in new mothers are mirrored in fathers. Their ability to parent is not based on biology; it is based on how much time they spend with their children.Nonetheless, no matter how hard couples try to rebalance the caring duties, we continue to bangour heads against a gendered wall. Our heads-and the heads of almost everyone around us-are filled with nonsense by advertisers and the media who love nothing more than creating a “gender war" out of everything. So even though it's 2023 and science is telling us the complete opposite, the narrative remains that women are better and more "natural" carers, that they're the only ones who can multi-task, men don’t really care about children and are dangerous around them-and so on.All of this can be hard to solve when you realize that the only way you can make ends meet is for the mother to stay off work or go down to part-time when the baby arrives, and for the dad to stay full-time with a killer commute. And of course it's true that some of us end up internalizing all of this and start to believe the gender stereotypes(刻板印象).( )12. The underlined word “dispensable’" means“_________”.A. determining and profoundB. incompetent and punishingC. not necessary or essentialD. not attractive or appealing( )l3. Which of the following statements will the author agree with?A. A father who spends ten minutes rocking his kid to sleep should be regarded as a hero.B. Women’s better parenting abilities are mainly predetermined by their biological features.C. The more time a father spends with his kids, the better he will be at looking after them.D. Women are the only ones who can keep the balance between their work and career.( )14. What is the author's attitude towards the current distribution of parenting duties?A. Favourable.B. Uninterested.C. Prejudiced.D. Dissatisfied.( )15. What might be the best title for the text?A. Desperate HousewivesB. The Absence of FatherhoodC. Happy Wife, Happy LifeD. The Manhood Crisis第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

As the global population continues to grow and urbanization expands, the negative impact of human activities on the environment has become more evident. One of the most pressing issues is climate change, which is caused by the excessive emission of greenhouse gases. The rising temperatures are leading to more frequent and severe natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. In addition to climate change, pollution from factories and vehicles has also caused significant damage to ecosystems and human health.Many countries have started to take action to mitigate the environmental problems. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, are being developed to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Public transportation systems are being improved to encourage people to use eco-friendly modes of transport. Moreover, governments are implementing stricter regulations on industries to reduce their emissions and promote sustainable practices.Despite these efforts, it is still crucial for individuals to take responsibility for their own actions. Simple lifestyle changes, such as reducing waste, conserving water, and using energy-efficient appliances, can make a significant difference. Education and awareness are also vital in promoting aculture of environmental responsibility.Questions:1、What is the main topic of the passage?A. The benefits of renewable energy sourcesB. The negative impact of climate changeC. The role of individuals in environmental protectionD. The importance of public transportation systems2、According to the passage, what are the main causes of environmental problems?A. Climate change and pollutionB. Urbanization and overpopulationC.

This museum, which opened its doors in 1969, is dedicated to the rich history of steam-powered boats and their impact on the development of the region.The museum’s centerpiece is the world’s last remaining paddle steamer, the MV Balmoral, which was built in 1894. The Balmoral was an engineering marvel of its time, capable of carrying passengers and goods across the waters of Lake Windermere.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.In the late 20th century, the internet began to transform the way people communicate, work, and live. This digital revolution has had a profound impact on various aspects of society, including education, business, and entertainment. The internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, connecting people from all corners of the globe.The birth of the internet can be traced back to the 1960s, when the UnitedStates government initiated a project called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). The primary goal of ARPANET was to create a decentralized communication network that could withstand nuclear attacks. Over time, ARPANET evolved into the modern internet we know today.1、What was the original purpose of ARPANET?A. To provide entertainment to the public.B. To create a decentralized communication network that could withstand nuclear attacks.C. To develop advanced research projects.D. To improve the quality of education.2、According to the passage, how has the internet changed our lives?A. It has made people more isolated.B. It has reduced communication between people.C. It has had a profound impact on various aspects of society.D. It has increased unemployment.3、The passage mentions that the internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives.

The internet is only important for some people.4、What is the main idea of the passage?A. The history of the internet.B. The impact of the internet on education.C. The impact of the internet on business.D. The impact of the internet on modern life.Answers:1、B2、C3、B4、D第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The rise of the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information. With just a few clicks, we can now connect with people from all over the world, access a vast array of information, and even purchase products online. This technological advancement has brought both benefits and challenges to our society.In the past, communication was limited to letters, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings. Now, with email, social media, and instant messaging, we can communicate instantly with anyone, regardless of their location. This has greatly increased efficiency and convenience in our daily lives. However, it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions and a decrease in written communication skills.Information accessibility has also been greatly enhanced by the Internet. Libraries, once the go-to source for research, are now just one of many options. With a simple online search, we can find articles, books, and other resources in seconds. This has made education and self-learning more accessible to a wider audience. On the other hand, it has raised concerns about the reliability and accuracy of online information.Online shopping has become increasingly popular, offering convenience and a wide variety of choices. Customers can compare prices, read reviews, and even have products delivered to their doorstep. This has changed the retail landscape and forced traditional brick-and-mortar stores to adapt. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of online shopping and the potential for fraud.1、What is the main topic of the passage?A. The advantages of the InternetB. The disadvantages of the InternetC. The impact of the Internet on communicationD. The impact of the Internet on education2、According to the passage, what is one of the challenges brought by the Internet?A. Increased efficiencyB. Decreased face-to-face interactionsC.

The convenience of online shopping.B. The environmental impact of online shopping.C. The wide variety of choices available.D. The potential for fraud in online transactions.Answers:1、C2、B3、C4、B四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Reading Section IIPassage:In the small coastal town of Porthaven, the community has long cherished its annual summer festival.

A篇Most of the Vietnamese in urban areas no longer bow when they meet each other. In formal gatherings, at religious places, and sometimes in the country areas, one may see the people clasp(握紧) their hands together in a prayer-like gesture and bow slightly. This is not practiced to any extent in everyday life in Vietnam as it is in neighboring Thailand.The custom of handshaking, formerly considered barbaric(野蛮的)to the Vietnamese，is now achieving popularity due to the Western influence on the country. Men will generally shake hands and say “how are you” and tip their hats when greeting people. Women, especially those in the countryside, still shy away from shaking hands, especially with men from their own country. It is best not to offer to shake hands with a woman unless she offers her hand first.Names carry great importance in Vietnam. Often Vietnamese have secret names, known only to themselves and their parents. If it is given away, the person believes he or she is exposed to evil spirits. Except in rare cases, family names are seldom used outside of the family circle. Children are often called names in rank of birth, such as Chi-hai, Chi-ba(daughter two, daughter three).One should call Vietnamese by Mr., Mrs., or Miss until asked to go on a first name basis. They do not do this as quickly as Americans in their relationships with people. Especially important, whenin the company of a third person, your friend must be called by his or her name with a Mr., Miss, orMrs. proceeding it, as the case may be. If this is not done, it may suggest great friendliness, or can also be interpreted as being arrogant(傲慢的)treatment of the individual by a leader.( 1.It1.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.A. Vietnamese begin to greet casually in daily lifeB. people in Vietnam and Thailand don't prayC. Vietnamese bow slightly to their neighborsD. Vietnamese in the countryside bow a lot( )2. Vietnamese used to consider handshaking to be______.A. unnecessaryB. impoliteC. unimportantD. unemotional( )3. Vietnamese may consider it bad luck when______.A. their family names are used outsideB. they are called by their names without a Mr., Mrs. or MissC. their children aren't called in rank of birthD. their secret names are known by othersB篇According to a paper in Psychological Science , how you represent yourself in the virtual world may affect how you behave towards others in the real world. The authors wondered whethervirtual experiences-specifically, the experiences of taking on heroic or villainous(反派的)avatars might carry over into everyday behavior. "Our results show that just five minutes of role-play in virtual environments as either a hero or a villain can easily cause people to reward or punish strangers," says author Gunwoo Yoon.The researchers had 194 college students take part in two different studies. In the first study, the participants were asked to play as Superman(a heroic avatar)or Voldemort(a villainous avatar). They played a game for 5 minutes in which they, as their avatars, were tasked with fighting enemies. Then, in the other study, they took part in a blind taste test. They were asked to taste chocolate or chili sauce (辣椒酱)and then it's up to them to decide whether to give the next participant chocolate or chili sauce. They were told that the next participant would eat all of the food provided.Participants who had played as Superman poured, on average, nearly twice as much chocolate as chili sauce for the next participant. And they poured much more chocolate than those who played as Voldemort. Participants who played as Voldemort poured nearly twice as much chili sauce as chocolate, and they poured much more chili sauce compared to those who played as Superman.A second experiment with l25 college students reported the same findings and showed that actually playing as an avatar had stronger effects on the following behavior than just watching someone else play as the avatar. "In virtual environments, we can freely choose avatars that allow us to get into a certain group," says Yoon. “However, remember that there can be strong imitative(模仿的)effects when we put on virtual masks."( )4. What were the participants supposed to do in the first study?A. Fight against each other.B. Show their true selves.C. Play their favorite roles.D. Act as their avatars.( )5.What do we know about the participants playing as Superman?A. They were much kinder to others.B. They hardly cared about others.C. They tasted much more chocolate.D. They preferred chili sauce.( )6. What does Yoon think of playing as virtual avatars?A. It can do harm to people.B. It can have a lot of influence.C. It can help people set up groups.D. It can encourage better performance.( )7. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text?A. You are likely to act like your avatarB. We think of ourselves as perfect avatarsC. Virtual role playing affects people positivelyD. Our avatars can hardly affect our social behaviorsC篇Children are now more likely to want to work in social media or gaming than traditional careers. According to a new survey, many from 7- to 11-year-olds are looking at modern technology when they think about future jobs, rather than professions such as police officer or doctor.The survey involved 13,000 UK primary school children. They were asked to draw pictures of the job they wanted to do when they grow up and then tell the reasons. It concluded that children's career aspirations are often based on factors such as gender stereotypes or what they've seen in the media, TV and film.“For more and more children and young people, online celebrities and gaming video bloggers have taken the place of TV and movie stars,” the report said. “It could be argued that this is due to the growing fame and attraction of video blogging stars, who are especially popular among younger audiences. Also, this may speak to children's present worlds. Many from 7-to 11-year-olds will spend their time gaming and perhaps at the same time watching celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it."The survey found that 5% of children wanted to be the police, with the same percentage on becoming doctors. A gender breakdown shows the top job choice for girls was teacher(19%) followed by vet(11%)an sportsman(9%)and police(8%).This highlights the pressing need for closer ties between employers and schools, to ensure that all children can have role models in a wide range of fields to help them develop an awareness of career choices at an early age. This is vital to ensure that all children-regardless of gender and backgrounds-can fulfill their full potential.( )8. Which of the following is the traditional career choice according to the text?A. Police officer.B. Online celebrity.C. Professional game-player.D. Video blogger.( )9. What’s the favourite thing children from seven to eleven love to do according to the survey?A. Play games and watch popular TV series.B. Participate in various sports in order to be sportsmen.C. Study hard and make great efforts to become teachers and police officers.D. Play games and watch celebrity gaming bloggers instructing them how to do it.( )10. What's the purpose of the survey?A.To strengthen the importance of studying hard.B.To give children more advice on choosing future careers.C. To give parents some suggestions to educate their children.D. To stress the importance of ties between employers and schools.( ) ll. In which column can you probably read the article?A. Science.B. Education.C. Sports.D. Culture.D篇"This way, everyone," said the young Bahamian as he led the way to the boat. As the boat moved over the waves, I thought back eleven years to my first island visit via a cruise ship. As we landed, I noticed a sign advertising swimming with dolphins. I looked at my mother; she knew exactly what I wanted, but I was too young. "“Maybe some other time," she said. I think everyone knows that those four words usually translate to never. It made me, a little boy, depressed for many days. From that day on, it was my dream to swim with those gentle creatures.Now, after 15 minutes of travelling, we reached the Sanctuary Bay. As we arrived, I saw the gray creatures showing off their unique talent before my eyes. We were led off the boat, past a back building. Our guide told us we would have the pleasure of spending the next 90 minutes with Kaholo, a young male, and Robola, the largest female, who is quite famous for having played the lead in the film Zeus and Roxanne.My father and I were joined by four others and followed the man once more. He told us to jump into the water while he let the dolphins into that part of the bay. For the first 20 minutes, we could go anywhere and touch the dolphins as they swam by.Kaholo and Robola must have known I was their biggest fan because they swam towards me as if I had had fish. After the introductory period, they jumped over our heads. I got a hug and kiss from Robola, and also learned how to have Kaholo talk to me.This was by far the most magical experience of my life. Next time your parents say “Maybe some other day”, have faith in them. Your dreams are important to them too, and they will dowhatever they can to make it possible, because dreams can come true.( )12. What was the author's dream according to the text?A. Travelling with his parents.B. Swimming with dolphins.C. Visiting the Sanctuary Bay.D. Watching a film played by dolphins.( )13. How did the author feel after his mother said “Maybe some other time”?A.Excited.B.Puzzled.C.Unhappy.D. Energetic.( )l4. What did Kaholo and Robola do during the visit?A. They stayed away from the author.B. They learnt to have a talk to the author.C. They had special interest in the author's fish.D. They showed a friendly attitude towards the author.( )l5. What’s the best title for the text?A. Dreams Do Come TrueB. Play with DolphinsC. My Parents’ PromiseD. The First Island Visit第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”.
