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

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

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

A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn’t show such support.So celebrate your kids’achievements，no matter how small they are.3.Praising their efforts. Kids won’t always come out on top.Still，they deserve kudos ( 赞誉) for trying their best.Ten-year-old April Cutler，for example，has had trouble with math since second grade.“She usually gets C’s on her report card，but last year she was determined to get A’ s and worked hard at it，” says her mom.“Whe n the first grading period ended，April was disappointed when she got a B minus in math，” Lueille continues.“Bu t my husband and I told her we were very proud that she’d improved.That inspired her to try even harder.She got a B plus for the next period！”4.Letting them make decisions and mistakes.Making his/her own decisions increases a child’s sense of control and builds his/her selfesteem ( 自尊心)．And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won’t harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5.Encouraging them to solve their own problems.As they grow，children needpractice in communicating，standing up for themselves and compromising.One of the best places to learn these skills is at home.So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her，step back and let them work it out.56．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To encourage parents to admire their kids.B.To show how to praise kids.C.To help kids study harder.D.To give advice on how to help kids become mature.57．The passage is mainly intended for .A．kids B．parents C．teachers D．educators58．From the example of April Cutler，we can l earn that .A.praising kids’ efforts can help them make greater progressB.setting a high goal makes kids feel discouragedC.solving problems by themselves helps kids feel confidentD.interest is the best teacher59.Why should parents allow kids to make mistakes?A．Making mistakes is a normal thing for a kid.B．Adults also make mistakes now and then.C．Kids can learn something valuable from their mistakes.D．Making mistakes won’t harm kids.BLooking back on my childhood，I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then somet hing happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.60.The first paragraph tells us the author .A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB.lost his hearing when he was a childC.didn’t like his brothers and sistersD.was born to a naturalist’s family61.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .A．he didn’t live very long with themB.the family was extremely largeC.he was too young when he lived with themD.he was fully occupied with observing nature62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist.B.The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C.The author is first of all a scientist.D.The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.63.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he t hinkshe .A.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of a scientistC.just reads about other people’s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in a most natural wayCWhen you were looking for a reliable，honest auto mechanic，how did you find him？Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried，how did you know that it served great food？If you are like most people on the planet，you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer to a business they trust.Marketers call thisfriendtofriend recognition of a business “wordofmouth” advertising.When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job，people are going to talk about your business.Unfortunately，because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones，we’re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.Understand this：Customers believe their own experience.You can’t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.So，to get positive word-of-mouth going for your business in this service-based economy，you’ve got to do a really outstanding job for everyone，exactly.And when you do，you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers’money，people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a free sales force for your business—an army of delighted customers who tell everyone that they know how good your company is to do business with.That’s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.64.What is the main topic of this passage?A．A good name will bring you money.B．A person should rely on his friends for business.C．Advertising can make customers believe it’s wonderful.D．A company can rely on its associates to survive.65.According to the passage，whether we go to a place or not d epends on .A．business fame B．media assistanceC．particular recognition D．associates’recommendation66．When you do an outstanding job in service，you w ill surely .A．make more money than you expectB.have a mutual understanding with your customersC.build a great reputation immediatelyD.earn your fame as well as advertise for your company67.The underlined word “defectionitis”probably means .A．service imperfection B．customers’ distrustC．customers’protection D．service advertisementDRalph and Norton can grow to be 40 feet long and live in a tank as large as a football field.What are they？They’re the only two whale sharks at a North American aquarium (水族馆)．You can see Ralph and Norton at the world’s largest aquarium，the new Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.The aquarium’s giant tanks hold eight million gallons of water and will be home to about 100,000 fish!The aquarium was designed to look like a giant ship breaking through the waves.It has 60 different habitats from the sea and five galleries ( 展馆)，each with a different theme.About 2.4 million visitors are expected to come each year.“We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium.” said Jeff Swanagan，the aquarium’s executive director.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Taiwan.They were only 15 and 13 feet long，but they may grow to be more than 40 feet long！Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish.Three full-time vets will work there to make sure that Ralph，Norton，and all of the aquarium’s sea life stay healthy.Students from the University of Georgia will help run the aquarium and conduct research at the animal hospital.The aquarium was paid for almost completely by a $200 million gift from Berne Marcus，co-founder of the Home Depot Inc，and his wife，Billi.“It’s going to be the most unique aquarium in the world，”sai d Marcus.Marcus said the aquarium was a “thank you” note to the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia，where the Home Depot first opened for business.68.According to this passage，Ralph and N orton are .A．polar bears B．whale sharks C．penguins D．dolphins69．The world’s largest aquarium located in .A．Los Angeles B．New York C．Atlanta D．Miami70．Which of the following is TRUE?A.The aquarium was designed to look like a giant shark.B.The aquarium’s giant tanks can hold eighteen million gallons of water.C.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Japan.D.Marcus helped to build the aquarium to show his thanks to A tlanta.71.By saying “We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium”，Jeff Swanagan means .A.the aquarium will attract a large number of visitorsB.the aquarium will be home to very special sea animalsC.the aquarium will be rebuilt and will be made even largerD.the aquarium will be the largest habitat for sea lifeEStarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure ( 血压) under control，research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.The researchers，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes ( 酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors，drugs taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure.Fried eggs proved particularly effective，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol ( 胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said，“Th e wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005.However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.72.From the text we know that ACE i nhibitors are .A．a kind of medicine B．a kind of proteinC．a kind of illness D．a kind of food73．According to what Professor B ruce said，eggs .A．are the most nutritious foodB.have no effect on blood cholesterolC.can be included in a healthy dietD.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK74．We can infer from the text that .A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseasesC.most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health75．The text is meant .A.to introduce scientific findings about eggsB.to introduce a medicine made from eggsC.to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35 分)第一节短文改错(共10 小题；每小题1 分，满分10 分)Peter was walking back home

AI clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night．I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium（钙）, during those important years．Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s．The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis（骨质疏松症）will set in．That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium．Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements（补充物）．There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate（碳酸钙），oyster（牡蛎）shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements．You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take．This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body．So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them．Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage（剂量）and manner of intake．You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs．21. From what the author’s mother did we may inferthat___________________．A．her children had osteoporosisB．she knew her children would benefit from milkC．she must have suffered from osteoprosisD．she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order22. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60sB．Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium．C．We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day D．Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage23. What does the underlined word “surreptitiously”in the firstparagraph probably mean?A．Honestly B．Frankly C．Secretly D．Curiously24. We may infer from the last paragraphthat____________________．A．what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not workB．one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor C．the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take inD．it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidanceBPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced fo od and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you arevisiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats. Endangered speciesSome gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere tovisit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.25. According to the passage, we can _______ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot26. We should check the gifts and foods before buying because______.A. sometimes they are of poor qualityB. they may not be typical local productsC. some of them will do harm to our healthD. they may be made from endangered animals or plants27We can infer from the passage that ______.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats28. The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. protection of endangered animalsD. greener choices for holidayCIt’s said that professional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that andhelpteach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.”Says professor Morvarid Taheripour, the head of the athletes’project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So they’ve got to come back to life and figure out ‘How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professional athletes is a dream to come true. “It was taking everythin g I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isn’t easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football players are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years. Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a number of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,”says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and timethat you have to put into it is very much like being a successful business person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show that’s not the case for everyone. Taheripour’s message to his stu dents is a serious one:This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.29 By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means ________.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their lifeB. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to lifeD. athletes’later life can be easily rebuilt30. .Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. They’re not willing to accept a new career.31. What does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end.B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem.D. Making a difference.32. What does the last paragraph imply?A. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.B. An athlete’s sports career couldn’t last very long.C. An athlete should end his career earlier to build his new life.D. The longer an athlete’s career lasts, the more respect he receives.DDuring World War I, a German spy called Reginald Rowlandworked in the United Kingdom gathering information for Germany about the British army. A box of talcum powder (爽身粉) and other lotions （护肤液）with materials to write secret messages were found in his room when he was caught by British soldiers.

spotting them running around and idly（漫不经地）wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads.Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl".Mary started bringing them food,and gradually they began to trust her.She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture.Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits,she started posting similar Photos on Facebook.The response Was greatly positive,and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College,Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home,but she didn't interact with people very much.She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome,but the squirrels changed that.The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice,because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,"she said."I am a lot more outgoing.And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos,it has a lot to do with food.For example,whenever she wants them to hold or play with something,she puts peanut butter on the prop（道具）,and they'll grab it.But getting to that part took a while.In the beginning,she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them,but they hesitated to approach her.She had the patience to earn their trust,though.This year,Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences.She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment.As for her furry friends,Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.【1】What kind of change do squirrels bring to Mary?A．She is sicker than before.B．She is more interested in animals.C．She is more sociable than before.D．She is less willing to go to college.【2】How

experience in universityB．Making friends with wild animalsC．The "Squirrel Girl" of Penn StateD．The bridge between Mary and squirrels3.Parents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given.The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents,who argue that the burden is too great,places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa) is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November."We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared",said Jos Luis Pazos,president of Ceapa."Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be.It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day.For us,that's an unacceptable situation".Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future.They should be.happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably（难以理解地）.The model needs to change because society has changed.Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day,which varies from region to region and school to school,but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5pm.However,schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments.They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.【1】Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?A．To stop school violence.B．To ask for longer school time.C．To say no to heavy homework load.D．To request equal education for their kids.【2】Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?A．Longer school hours will ensure better grades.B．Happiness is the most important thing for a child.C．Huge amounts of homework means a better future.D．The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children.【3】Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?A. Ceapa.B. The OECD.C. Regional governments.D. Each individual school.4.Growing up in Wyoming,everyday life was an adventure—I spent my time camping,and exploring mountains. When I was little,my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall.I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men.Under her influence,I made up my mind to achieve something great.Now,I've become famous for sailing,a sport often considered "a man's world".Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport.And,generally,there are only two ways to get into it—either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.In the summer of 2008,I went to St.Croix through a college internship（实习）program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs.There,I discovered my love for sailing.Then,SCA,a global hygiene（卫生保健）company, made the decision to support an all-female team,and when they began accepting applications,I knew it was the chance of a lifetime.I made it my task to become a part of the team.Even when it seemed like there were no positions left,I never gave up.After a stressful,two-year application process,I finally got the call.I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately.The process was physically,mentally and emotionally exhausting,but I finally achieved my goal.I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' ter,there was an all-female team competing,and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.As women,we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men,because we do. There are plenty of professions,including sailing,in which women are absent or have a minor presence—butthat's not because they shouldn't be there.We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions,no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.【1】Why does the author mention her mother in Paragraph 1?A．To compare with her mother.B．To describe women's struggles.C．To analyze her mother's success.D．To show her mother's influence on her.【2】what does the underlined word "both" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A．Two traditional ways to become professional sailors.B．Two important persons in the author's life.C．Two basic stages of being a sailor.D．Two famous professional sailors.【3】What is the correct order of the following events?a.I began training with the sailing team.b.I attended a college internship program.c.I took part in competing in an all-female team.d.I discovered my love for sailing as a woman.A．b-d-a-c B．d-a-c-bC．a-c-d-b D．a-d-c-b【4】Which can best describe the author?A．Humorous.B．Generous.C．Pessimistic.D．Determined.二、其他How to cultivate a creative hobby in collegeYour undergraduate days are arguably some of the most stressful of your life.The best way to get it all out is to express yourself creatively.Here is how to get started:【1】The first step is finding room in your schedule to actually sit down and let your creative juices flow.【2】 However,one of the best things you can do for yourself is take time to relax and let your mind wander as it pleases.If you want to actually make your art a part of your career though,you will have to devote a serious chunk of your day to it.Take a course.【3】Schedule an appointment with your advisor and see if the college you attend offers a course in the creative field that you're interested in.Join a club or make one.Chances are that there are other students at your school that share the same interests as you.【4】If there isn't one,check out the procedures for going about making one!Constantly search for inspiration.【5】This could mean something as simple as looking for blogs that showcase work that you admire or going to a museum in your college town and wandering around for a bit.Even if you don't feel that you have enough talent to make your art a part of your professional career,it never hurts to try.The skills that you learn while working at your art might even possibly help you in the workplace down the road.A．Learn how to make a club.B．Everyone is busy in college.C．Make time in your schedule.D．You should try to make you a well-rounded and interesting person.E.Visit your university's websites and see what clubs exist that relate to the art you practice.F.The easiest way to make time to express yourself is to fit it into your academic schedule.G.You should always be looking for the next thing that will inspire your work even further.三、完形填空On some special occasions in your life,you may find yourself faced with various choices.You've probably been asked what you would do if you found a leather____full of cash.Would you keep it,turn it in to the police or ask for a ____?Woralop,a tramp from Thailand,only had 9 baht（铢）to his name when he found it with 20,000 baht and several credit____in it.It was more than____to buy him food and even a place to stay for weeks.____,he didn't think about keeping it.

It was run by two men, one of whom –Alex –used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read.

Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can' t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain' s tempera-ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.5.The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down6.The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.A. taking the blood out of the brainB. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machineD. lowering the brain' s temperature7.With Dr. White' s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain' s blood warmC. can keep the patient' s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs8.What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a,b,c,dB. c,a,b,dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a【答案】5.A6.D7.A8.Bcan live without blood for 30 minutes.”可以推断出通过降低大脑温度可以延长大脑存活时间，使得手术成为可能，故选D。

A
Our body, which has close relations with the food we eat, is the most important thing we own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying An apple a day keeps the doctor away is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.
But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?
In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly.
