Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient.It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons，and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete，well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.【1】Music and drama are not included in the high-school curriculum mainly because ________.A．the school committee pays no attention to themB．the school is afraid of losing financial supportC．the students are not interested in both of themD．the state standardized test is more important【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The sufficiency of the classes determines students' performance in the mastery test.B．Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today's school system.C．Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D．The school committee completely influences students' attitude towards the arts.【3】We can learn that music and art can ________.A．motivate students in creativity and expressionB．make students round-shaped people in futureC．provide students with analytical thinkingD．prevent students graduation from high school【4】The best title of the passage can be ________.A．“Who killed music and drama？”B．“Can curriculum go without music？”C．“Why is music so important？”D．“How to prepare for the real world？”2.Many people in the world live in big cities, which are often dirty and difficult places to live. So, some cities will get bigger. They will also get higher, and lower, because people will begin to live under the ground as well as in tall buildings. Scientists also say that men can begin to live in cities under the sea, when there is not enough space on the land. Of course, these new cities will be very expensive, and difficult to build, but they are not impossible. Already, some countries are building places to live under the ground so their people can go there if there is a new war. There are underground cities in Switzerland（瑞士）and China, built by the government（政府）to help some of the people live during a great war.But will people change if they live under the ground for a long time？For example some fish go blind if they live in the dark sea for a long time. People will not go blind, because there will be light underground, but they may change in some way. Scientists say that people who live in cities today are losing their senses of smell, touch and taste. They can’t smell the dirty air, they can’t taste the chemicals（化学制剂）in their food. These senses are not as strong as before, when people lived in the country and grew their own food. The city has changed that. What will the underground city change in everyone？【1】People will live under the ground because _________．A．it’s neither hot nor cold thereB．they’ll be afraid of the warC．there’ll be less space on the groundD．they’ll make their life comfortable【2】Some countries try to build some places under the ground so that people will be able to live there _____．A．when summer comesB．when a war breaks outC．because they think it’ll be safer for themD．when they’re fed up with the life on the land【3】_________, so people who will live there won’t go blind．A．There’ll be enough light under the groundB．It’ll be easy to go upstairsC．Glasses will be sold under the groundD．Medicine will be supplied for free【4】People will lose some senses under the ground because _______．A．the world are pollutedB．it’s dark thereC．the air is dirty and there are a lot of chemicals in their foodD．they can’t grow their own food in the sun3.British researchers have found that children’s IQ predicts their probability of becoming vegetarians (素食者) as young adults.Recent studies suggest that vegetarianism may be associated with lower cholesterol (胆固醇), reduced risk of overweight and heart disease.“We know from other studies that brighter children tend to behave in a healthier fashion as adults—they’re less likely to smoke, less likely to be overweight，less likely to have high blood pressure and more likely to take exercise.” lead author Catharine Gale said, “This study provides further evidence that people with a high IQ tend to have a healthier lifestyle.”In the study, Gale’s team collected data on nearly 8,200 men and women aged 30, whose IQ had been tested when they were 10 years of age.“C hildren who scored higher on IQ tests at age 10 were more likely than those who got lower scores to report that they were vegetarian at the age of 30.”Gale said.The researchers found that 4.5 percent of participants were vegetarians. Of these, 2.5 percent were vegan, and 33.6 percent said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken.There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but also ate fish or chicken，the researchers added.One expert sai d the findings weren’t the whole answer，however.“We don’t know the beliefs or attitudes of the parents of the children，nor do we know if there was a particular event that led these children to becoming vegetarian in their teens or adulthood.” said Lona Sa ndon, and assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.【1】From the article，we know that ________.A．brighter children are likely to become vegetarians when they are ten.B．people with a higher IQ will not be overweightC．brighter children are likely to have a healthier lifestyleD．overweight may cause high blood pressure【2】What does the underlined word “vegan” in the sixth paragraph mean?A．Someone who only eats vegetables.B．Someone who chooses not to eat meat or fish.C．Someone who likes eating meat and fish.D．Someone who likes eating vegetables.【3】This study left some unanswered questions EXCEPT “________”．A．Did the vegetarian children grow up in a family with a vegetarian parent?B．Did the children eat a primarily vegetarian diet at the age of 10?C．Were meatless meals regularly served in the participants’ families?D．Did the vegetarian children really have a high IQ?【4】The main idea of the passage is that ________.A．the low IQ children will be unhealthier when they grow upB．being vegetarians can reduce the risk of overweight and heart diseaseC．IQ is important to vegetariansD．high IQ children are more likely to become vegetarian when they grow up4.That year, in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child that anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners...Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff: sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn't seem like any of this bothered the new kid.However，little Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So，one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him...It was the new teacher!The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.【1】The math lessons became interesting because of the new teacher's ______.A．creativity B．imagination C．responsibility D．curiosity【2】The passage implies that the stupidest child ______.A．was in great need of the math teacher's help after classB．was by no means slow in mathC．had no gift for math and was slow to learn itD．disliked both the new math teacher and his lessons【3】According to the passage, Lewis followed the stupid kid in order to ______.A．learn about where he lived B．find out if he felt upsetC．say something to comfort him D．make friends with him【4】What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to?A．To find the new kid's mistakes.B．To think up the most original ways to explain.C．To use all kinds of stuff.D．To follow him home after school.5.Six Chinese surveillance ships have entered waters near islands claimed by both China and Japan.China said the ships were carrying out "law enforcement" to demonstrate its jurisdiction(管辖权) over the islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan.At least two of the vessels left after the Japanese coast guard issued a warning, Japanese officials say.The move came after Japan sealed a deal to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner. Japan controls the uninhabited but resource-rich East China Sea islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan.The Japanese Coast Guard said the first two Chinese boats entered Japan's territorial waters at 06:18 local time (21:18 GMT Thursday), followed by another fleet of four other ships just after 07:00. The first two ships then left the area. A third ship left later on Friday morning, one report said. No force was used, Japanese officials added. "Our patrol vessels are currently telling them to leave our country's territorial waters," the coastguard said in a statement.The Chine se foreign ministry confirmed that its ships were there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China's jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated(附属的) islets and ensure the country's maritime(海事的) interests,” a statement said.The US has called for ''cooler heads to prevail'' as tension intensifies between China and Japan over the islands, which lie south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan. US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is due to visit both Japan and China from this weekend as part of a tour of the region that also includes New Zealand.The dispute has seriously marred diplomatic relations between China and Japan and threatens to damage the strong trading relationship, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Beijing. The row(争端) has also generated strong nationalist sentiment on both sides that observers say now makes it very difficult to be seen to be backing down, says our correspondent.The Japanese government says it is buying the islands to promote their stable and peaceful management. Its move followed a bid by right-wing Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara to buy the islands using public donations - an action that would likely have further provoked(触怒) China.China, on the other hand, says the islands have historically been its territory and fishing grounds.Meanwhile Japan's newly-appointed ambassador to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, remains in hospital in Tokyo after he was found unconscious near his home in Tokyo on Thursday. No details have been given on his condition. He was appointed on Tuesday to replace Uichiro Niwa, who has been criticized for his handling of one of the worse diplomatic rows between Japan and China in recent years.【1】The Diaoyu Islands are actually inhabited by .A．Japan B．China C．America D．Nobody【2】Which of the following is true?A．Japan fired at the 6 Chinese ships to warn them to leave the waters.B．China admitted that the 6 ships had been forced to leave the waters.C．The US called on both sides to calm down.D．Shinichi Nishimiya was unconscious in the hospital because somebody attacked him.【3】Why was Uichiro Niwa replaced?A．He is not iron enough in handling the diplomatic rows between Japan and China.B．His health condition is not good enough to work there.C．He didn’t do a good job in dealing with the dispute about the Diaoyu Islands.D．He criticized the Chinese government publicly in an improper way.【4】This news report is most likely to be selected from the newspaper.A．British B．Chinese C．Japanese D．American四、其他1.Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Illegal hunting has caused a decrease in the number of sea turtles.B. Most turtles are eaten by Mexicans and Mexican Americans.C. A campaign to protect sea turtles.D. Many people kill and eat turtles in a religious observance.E. Government should prevent sea turtle being hunted to increase the number of the species.F. A letter was written to Pope to save endangered sea turtles.【1】 ___________Environmental groups in the United States are leading a campaign to save thousands of endangered sea turtles. They have asked Pope John Paul the Second to ban turtle meat during the Christian religious observance known as Lent. Christians observe Lent in preparation for the holiday of Easter.【2】 ___________Environmental groups say illegal turtle hunting is one of the major threats to endangered sea turtles in southern California and Mexico. It has been illegal to harvest and eat sea turtle meat in Mexico for more than ten years. However, demand for sea turtle meat is widespread in both Southern California and Mexico. Biologists believe that illegal hunting is one of the main reasons for the sharp drop in sea turtle populations during the past thirty years.【3】 ___________The week before Easter Sunday is an especially deadly time for the turtles. As many as 5,000 turtles are killed during this time each year. Many Mexicans and Mexican Americans eat turtle meat during the days before Easter. Many people do not eat meat during this holy time in order to obey the rules of Lent. Because sea turtles swim, many people consider them to be fish. Fish is permitted during Lent.【4】 ___________The Sea Turtle Conservation Network is a union of fishermen, environmental activists and researchers. They sent a letter to Pope John Paul, urging the Roman Catholic Church leader to officially declare that sea turtle flesh is meat, not fish or seafood. They say thousands of these endangered animals would be saved if people did not eat them during this religious period. The letter also asked members of the Catholic Church to obey laws banning the capture of turtles in Mexico and the United States.【5】___________About 35,000 endangered sea turtles are killed illegally near the coasts of Baja, California each year. Studies have shown a sharp drop in the numbers of females. They travel from as far away as Japan to lay their eggs on local beaches. Environmental activists say hunting sea turtles for their meat is the main barrier to the recovery of the species. They have urged the governments of the United States and Mexico to improve enforcement of the ban on sea turtle harvesting.2.单句填空：【1】Dr Yuan___________________ his life.

I had taken refuge（躲避）fromthe in a quiet café. Outside, there was an old woman kneeling on the hard, ancient paving stones, . Steady of tourists were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from thecrowd, drinking in the vistas（景观、景色）, but I noticed the young traveler was also the old woman.A tourist group walked along the street, the woman and walked on. group of tourists arrived and walked past the old lady. The backpacker watched everybody else went on their way, focused on the around them. Then, I was preparing to leave when I caught sight of the backpacker stepping forward and some money in the woman’s cup. He did this somewhat just before the arrival of another tourist group. As I , the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and some more coins to the cup.His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar-woman, patted her on the shoulder and said, “I hope that a little.”I don’t know if t he woman understood his English or what had just happened, but I did.I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels, after witnessing such a act of kindness.【1】A．sound B．question C．excuse D．command【2】A．beyond B．after C．without D．before【3】A．many times B．some times C．only once D．once again【4】A．crowds B．families C．streets D．signs【5】A．singing B．crying C．begging D．trembling【6】A．streams B．packs C．masses D．groups【7】A．simply B．seemingly C．similarly D．specially【8】A．showing B．following C．checking D．observing【9】A．glanced at B．laughed at C．rushed at D．stared at【10】A．One B．More C．Another D．Other【11】A．if B．since C．because D．as【12】A．stones B．sights C．signs D．tourists【13】A．lending B．borrowing C．placing D．taking【14】A．accidentally B．successfully C．purposefully D．cheerfully【15】A．watched B．shown C．understood D．walked【16】A．changed B．charged C．found D．added【17】A．measures B．helps C．explains D．matters 【18】A．recognized B．caught C．realized D．figured 【19】A．pleasant B．annoyed C．disappointed D．light-hearted 【20】A．beautiful B．smart C．pure D．happy三、信息匹配A. New teachers’ opinions of involving parentsB. An argument over an assignmentC. A conflict between assumption and realityD. Difficulties in sharing goalsE. The best way to score highF. Proper ways of parental involvement【1】 _______ An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protest ing the “C” her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she’d written it. ”【2】_______ In a surve y, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children’s education is a priority at their school, but only 25% described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying”. When asked to choose the biggest challenge they face, 31％ of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73％ of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.【3】_______ At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phones and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.【4】_______ Everyone says the parent-teacher conference should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.【5】_______ When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn’t necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision, school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related.四、阅读理解1.My six-year-old came home from school this week with two envelopes. One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.“I’ll put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking he’d be so excited to put his own stamp on things.“That’s okay, mom. You put money in. I don’t want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he colored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would just understand why it was important to help people in need — and even want to do it himself.But of course he doesn’t really understand yet. “There’s a big disconnect between the people ‘over there’ and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.“There’s nothing wrong with the child. There’s just no connection.”As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life for our kids.”She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they won’t be shocked when you ask them to stuff their own money into an envelope （like this writer just did）.* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got something new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids’ lives.”So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But I’ll make sure he understands why they should be filled—gradually.【1】When the writer asked her son to give money to help the poor, he __________.A．declined to donateB．sang a sweet songC．put all his money in a bankD．seemed very surprised【2】 Hoef le’s attitude towards children’s unwillingness to donate money can be best described as“___________”.A．critical B．tolerantC．positive D．worried【3】Which of the following is Hoefle’s approach to educating kids about charity?A．Giving courses about charity.B．Setting a rule for children to give.C．Inviting a lot of poor people home.D．Giving children enough real life chances.【4】What can we learn about the writer from the passage?A．She often makes donations for people in need.B．She taught her son a lesson over dinner that evening.C．She is at a loss as for what she should do next.D．She invited a parenting educator home for advice.【5】What is the best title of the passage?A．Kids, please help those in need.B．Why are kids unwilling to donate?C．Kindness is lost in the young generation.D．How can we help kids learn generosity?2.LONDON, Feb. 18，2014（Xinhua News agency）—Britain will send experts to East China's Shanghai to learn from the city's experience in maths teaching in an attempt to raise the teaching standards.British Education Minister Elizabeth Truss is to lead a delegation of experts on a fact-finding mission to Shanghai's schools next week to see how children there have become the best in the world at maths, to get a first-hand look at maths classes and teaching methods there, and particularly to investigate why the performance of almost all children in Shanghai is high, regardless of gender or income.Britain was last year placed 50th out of 148 countries and regions in the World Economic Forum's competitiveness ranking in quality of maths and science education. Two years ago, Shanghai topped the 2012 international PISA tables for maths, while England was ranked in 26th place. The top five were all in Southeast Asia, with 15-year-olds in Shanghai judged to be three years ahead of their peers in maths.The education department said: "England's performance in maths has lagged behind while other countries have improved and overtaken us, including Poland and Germany." Actually, it is the latest step in the government's drive to raise standards in maths, looking at what has made schools in the far East the most successful in the world in teaching the subject."Shanghai is the top-performing part of the world for maths—their children are streets ahead. Shanghai and Singapore have teaching practices and a positive mind that make the difference. They have a belief that diligence makes up for lack of ability," Truss said. "Our new curriculum has borrowed from theirs because we know it works—early learning of key arithmetic, and a focus on times tables and long division（长除法）, for instance."She was determined to change the situation as performance in maths is weakening the country's skills base and threatening the productivity and growth. The government is emphasizing maths because of the importance of good grades in the subject to young people competing for good jobs in a global labor market and to the economy more generally.An education and skills survey released by the Confederation of British Industry last year showed that 30 percentof employers reported dissatisfaction with the standard of school and college leavers' numeracy. More than two-thirds of employers said they wanted both maths and science promoted more in schools.【1】Why does the British government send a delegation of experts to Shanghai?A．To see how children from rich families have become the best at maths.B．To investigate why the performance of almost all children in China is high.C．To get a first-hand look at science classes and teaching methods there.D．To raise the teaching standards in maths in Britain.【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the two international competition results? A．British students performed better in 2013 than in 2012.B．British students did better than the students from Poland in 2013.C．The students from Singapore did better than the students from Germany.D．The students from Germany did better than the students from Poland.【3】What has made schools in Shanghai the most successful in teaching maths in the eye of Truss? A．Curriculum and teaching methods.B．Teaching practices and a positive mind.C．Early learning of key arithmetic and times tables.D．A focus on times tables and long division.【4】How will students’ poor performance in maths affect the country?A．By threatening the country's competitiveness of economy.B．By weakening the country's political system.C．By losing international competitions in education.D．By failing to find jobs in a global labor market.【5】What can we infer from the news?A．The students in Britain don’t work hard at Maths.B．The students in shanghai are the smartest in the world.C．The education of science in Britain is no better than that of maths.D．Most British citizens are dissatisfied with teachers’ work.3.“Father, do you see Mother in your dreams?” the young girl asks. “You know sometimes I do.”“Mother comes to see me a lot, you know. We sit and talk.” The father smiles. “How is your homework coming along?”“Why do I have to study so hard?”“It is what your mother would have wanted!”She regrets speaking her mind. “I’m sorry, Father, I shouldn’t have said that.” She looks up and sees his eyes well up with tears.“It’s okay, love,” he gets up and pours himself a drink. “I’ll just sit outside for a while. You finish up your work, okay?”“I’m sorry, Father; Mother did love you very much. She told me all the time.”“Homework, first, eh? Then we can chat about your mother.”He heads off outside and sits in his usual chair, looking around the courtyard. The whole area relaxes the mind and somehow soothes the soul.“All finished, Father. May I get a drink and sit with you? I have some questions.”She comes with two drinks one for him and one for herself. He looks surprised. She never really liked him having a drink. Although he had cut back a lot from before he brought her here, it still seemed strange.“Mother told me all about you. That is before she passed away. We would laugh together at your love stories.”He listens without uttering a single sound.“Why didn’t you come and take her away with you? She really wanted that. Did you know that?”Her father looks at his daughter lovingly. “Circumstances were difficult back then. It was just the way things were. When it came time to…” He sighs. “To visit her it was too late.”The girl smiles. “I hope I will have the same kind of love you and mother had.”“Without all the heartache,” her father adds.“She always knew you loved her. She told me every day,” the child mentions cheerfully. “I saw her crying sometimes when she read your letters.”“Did she make you promise to look after me?” She inquires.“She asked me to take care of you.”“You promised her, didn’t you?”“Yes, I did.”“It is nice out here, isn't it? Mother would have been very happy here.”She talks with some authority. Her father remains silent. A smile comes to his weary brow. He nods his head. “Mother wanted me to give you something. I think now the time is right.” She runs to her room. Upon returning she hands her father a book. “It’s mother’s diary! She wanted me to give it to you.”He takes the book and holds it i n his trembling hands, “Thank you.”“Mother said you would understand things better.”“Wise woman, your mother.”He places the book on the table as he gets up. The girl gets up and wraps herself around her father.“I love you.” she looks up at his face.He picks her up and hugs her. “I love you, too.” His voice trembles.“It’s okay, Father. We have each other now and mother is in both of us.”He kisses her head.“Time you went to bed,” her father softly says.He puts her down and she scampers off to get washed and ready for bed.Clearing up everything he checks on his daughter. She is in bed waiting for her good night kiss. He tucks her in and bids her goodnight.Just as he is to leave she tells him. “Mother told me she adopted me when I was a baby.”He stands at her bedroom door. Words fail him. Yes, he knew she was adopted.“I am really lucky for being loved by my parents, even if I am not really theirs.”“You trying to bring on the water works?” he tells her.She giggles, “Goodnight, Father. I love you.”“Love you, too.”His face lights up as he wipes his dampened eyes.The door closes and the child falls asleep dreaming of her mother.Sitting outside he picks up the diary and opens it and reads the first line: “I love you, my dearest, if only things could have been different…”【1】What can we know about the couple’s relationship?A．They understood each other very well.B．They quarreled a lot and are separated.C．They used to have misunderstandings.D．They were quite sure of each other’s love.【2】What can we learn from the story?A．The girl was adopted because the couple couldn’t give birth.B．Father looks after the girl just because the girl is alone.C．The girl feels unfortunate that she was adopted.D．Father was not very close to the girl before she moved in with him.【3】Why didn’t father bring mother home when she was ill?A．Because he was too busy with his work.B．Because he didn’t know he was wanted.C．Because he was too poor to afford the medical fees.D．Because he didn’t know she was in hospital.【4】What does the sentence “You trying to bring on the water works?” mean?A．You want another cup of water?B．Are you kidding me?C．Are you trying to make me cry?D．Are you thinking about the water factory?【5】Which word best describes father’s feeling at the end of the story?A．Regretful B．SatisfiedC．Confused D．Doubtful五、单词拼写【1】It is t_________ of him to come late for school as he is not interested in studies at all.【2】After a drunk driving, he was b________ from driving for six months.【3】He was employed by a local newspaper where he worked very hard and e_________ promoted to an important post.【4】For working mothers, they need to have f_________ working hours so that they can switch from their work to their babies.【5】We must work together, s__________ our unity in the face of powerful enemies.【6】 ---Have you got your driving license?---Yes, I passed my driving test at my first a__________.【7】She was strongly o____________ to the idea of moving abroad for she loved her hometown more than anyone else in the family.【8】People spreading the “China Threat” theor y may underestimate(低估) the wisdom and j_________ of people around the world.【9】On a_________, he now works 11 hours per day, six days a week, compared with eight hours a day roughly two years ago.【10】Having been out of work for a long time, Tom, the bread-earner is now d__________ for a job to provide for a large family.六、书面表达浙江高二高中英语月考试卷答案及解析一、单项选择1. ---Shall we go out for a meal tonight?---__________.

To my , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she s aid with a smile.

However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit and buy the book at a 20％ discount.【1】According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.A．is the world’s most popular tourist activityB．gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsC．can cause danger to dolphinsD．will make tourists busy and tired【2】What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?A．It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.B．Queuing for hours is worthwhile.C．Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.D．It is not as satisfying as expected.【3】The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author_______.A．thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsB．believes other lists are not humorous enoughC．intends to persuade people to read more listsD．wants to provide a list different from other lists【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To introduce a website.B．To advertise a book.C．To comment on popular lists.D．To recommend tourist activities.2.Although in the 17th century in the United States fine art and folk art had similar qualities, a difference between them began to appear as time went on in the 18th and 19th centuries artists with ambition studied abroad and came back to paint portraits(肖像) of upper-class families in American society. The less ambitious or less fortunate artists traveled around their own areas and created pictures of countryside society. Anyway, artists got trained and those simple creations improved a lot.Around 1930，folk art began to take on a new meaning and was considered as an expression of a small cultural class. Folk art is never the product of art movements, but comes out of craft traditions. This art is based not on measurements or calculations and rarely goes with the standards of realism. It goes straight to the bases of art which the folk artists feel naturally.The period 1930~ 1960 was the time when folk artists began to receive recognition. They often began their art careers late in life and used art as an outlet（出口） for their energy. Their materials were cheap and simple, their subjects were different, but their creativity flowed. Doing their own things became the norm（标准）, and was what made folk art so desirable.Although it is hard to define folk art, one thing is certain --- it touches us in a special way because the artists show us how he or she brought beauty into their everyday life. Since folk artists come from all walks of life, each piece of art created is one of a kind, emphasizing color, simplicity of line and brave, simple form. Most importantly, it exemplifies（作为…的例子） the history of American life.【1】What similar qualities did folk art and fine art probably have in the 17th century?A．They were both simple creations.B．The artists of both focused on family life.C．The artists of both came from the lower class.D．They were both gifted creations by trained artists.【2】 What was folk art around 1930 based on according to the second paragraph?A．The traditions of the upper class.B．The progress of art in that period.C．The standards of realism.D．The feelings of the artists.【3】Which of the following statements can be used to describe the works of folk artists?A．They are difficult to understand.B．They help artists let out their energy.C．They show pictures of unreal life.D．They are similar to one another.【4】Why did folk art become popular during the period from 1930 to 1960?A．It offered artists the freedom of expression.B．Artists didn’t need to spend much on materials.C．Other kinds of art couldn’t express the beauty of life.D．Artists could express their dissatisfaction towards society.【5】The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ___________.A．speak highly of folk artB．compare folk art and fine artC．explain the history and characteristics of folk art in AmericaD．explain the development and changes of American art3.In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get ----- a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen ------- teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class ---- seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all was n’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them”. he repeated.” No wonder they are bored. Why not get to the meat of literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior”? We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.【1】It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ________________.A．the writer became an optimistic personB．it was rather difficult to get a job in the USAC．the writer was very happy about her new jobD．it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey【2】According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher? A．She didn’t like teaching English literature.B．She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice.C．She took too much time off to eat and sleep.D．She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.【3】What is the writer’s biggest worry after her taskmaster’s observation of her class?A．She couldn’t ignore her students’ bad behavior any more.B．She migh t lose her students’ respect.C．She couldn’t teach the same class any more.D．She might lose her teaching job.【4】Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory?A．Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing.B．She managed to finish the class without crying.C．Her students behaved a little better than usual.D．She was invited for a talk by her boss after class.【5】The students behaved badly in the writer’s classes becauseA．They were eager to embarrass her.B．They didn’t regard her as a good teacher.C．She didn’t really understand them.D．She didn’t have a good command of English.【6】The taskmaster’s atti tude towards the writer after his observation of her class can be describedas________________.A．cruel but encouraging B．sincere and supportiveC．fierce but forgiving D．angry and aggressive4.Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. When a child should learn to readB. Why it is fun to teach a child readingC. What if a child has reading problemsD. How you prepare a young child for readingE. What is the best way to teach a child readingF. Whether reading early promises later achievements【1】Learning to read early has become one of those indicators—in parents' minds at least—that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.【2】Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.【3】Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language” method and the “phonic” method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a “p” and another a “b”. Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.【4】You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure onch ildren. Besides reading to them, parents can start “ear training” their child by playing rhyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.【5】Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.四、单词拼写单词拼写 (满分10分)【1】As winter is a__________, the winter is getting colder.【2】The dove r___________ peace, which is the most important thing for human beings.【3】In a boarding school, students need to learn how to get on well with each other in their d__________. 【4】 There are v__________ kinds of theme parks, with a different park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history.【5】I am c__________ of his honesty because I know him very well.【6】With the help of the Internet, the writer became famous t__________ the world.【7】The f__________ of the smile is to show happiness and put people at ease.【8】In order to avoid being heard by others, they w__________ to each other when the play was on.【9】I think these traditional customs in my home town should be well p__________.【10】In g_________, it is probably not a good idea to stand too close to someone of a higher rank.五、其他根据括号中的提示，将下列各句翻译成英语。

浙江高二高中英语月考试卷班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.Let's do some sleep math. You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, getting four extra hours. On Monday morning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But don't be cheated by your energy: You’re still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call “sleep debt”.Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should get and the amount y ou actually get. It’s a deficit that grows every time we remove some minutes off our nightly sleep. “People get more and more sleep debt without noticing it,” says William Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Research Centre. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened eyesight, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity, and heart disease. A survey reports that we’re losing one hour of sleep each night—more than two full weeks of sleep each year.The good news is that, like all debts, sleep debt can be paid off with some work. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern(模式). Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morning naturally (no alarm clock allowed).As you pay off sleep debt, your body will come to a rest at a sleep pattern that is particularly right for you. Sleep researchers believe that although the exact genes (基因) remain to be discovered, genes do determine our individual sleep patterns. That probably means you can’t train yourself to be a “short sleeper” and you’re fooling yourself if you think you’ve done it, so earn back tha t lost sleep and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs. When you put away sleep debt, you become a superman.【1】The example of sleep math is used to show___________.A．how you build up your sleep debtB．how you can pay off sleep debts at weekendsC．why you need enough sleep every nightD．why you should drink coffee to stay energetic【2】What does the underlined word “deficit” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．full sleep B．light sleepC．deep sleep D．lack of sleep【3】Those in sleep debt for a long time are likely to suffer from____________.A．failing eyesight B．poor memoryC．weak heart D．weight loss【4】It’s impossible to train oneself to be a “short sleeper” because _________.A．one can only get their energy during long sleepB．how one sleeps is determined when they were bornC．one will feel tired if their sleep is less than neededD．one sleeps more when developing a natural sleep pattern2.Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time.Meals can last for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a mea l in Brazil.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency (效率) is the goal, so meetings are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. People avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives.

However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat —the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to achieve goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of determining to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having dessert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that f ocuses on a specific (具体的) input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam, apart from general rules like “study harder”. Rea ding certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. For instance, if you want to spend more time with your family, do n’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable goal that you could stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.【1】The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _________.A．it is focused too much on the resultB．it is hard to achieve for ordinary peopleC．it is dependent on too many thingsD．it is based on actionable decisions【2】In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because ________.A．they obeyed the general rules of learningB．they benefited from reading certain booksC．they attached more importance to examsD．they were greatly inspired by their instructors【3】According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?A．“I’ll study harder than before.”B．“I’ll cut down my expense.”C．“I’ll spend more time with my family.”D．“I’ll walk every day for 15 minutes.”【4】The writer strongly believes that we should __________.A．be optimistic about final goals and stick to themB．focus more on the outcome and form good habitsC．create general goals that can balance the input and outputD．take specific actions that can be turned into good habits4.A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa had a young family of four little girls. During the Great Depression (大萧条时期), work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. On weekends he and Grandma dug a garden to grow some of their own food.Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food and enjoyed flowers from the garden. Grandma put up strawberry jam, tomatoes, beans, peppers, pears and peaches in canning jars. They were good to eat through the long winter.The family grew up, and grandparents grew old. It became hard to keep up the garden, so they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was watch from his lawn chair as the vegetables grew and the roses bloomed. Summer slowly faded, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest.It was a lonely winter for Grandma. She sat near the window, looking out at the yard and wondering if she could plant a garden in the spring. When spring came, she planted only a little garden.One sunny day in the early summer, Grandma heard a commotion (骚动) in the front yard and looked out the window to see a frightening sight. A huge swarm of bees filled the air between two tall trees. The buzzing sound was very loud.The bees made their way into a hole up in one of the trees. Before long, every one of those bees had disappeared into its new home. During the next few days, the bees were busy minding their own business. Grandma could always see a few bees buzzing in and out around the opening high in the tree. Before long, she decided the bees weren’t bothering anyone, so she didn’t give them anoth er thought.That summer, Grandma’s little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the huge crop of vegetables and puzzle over their own gardens weren’t doing well.One day, Grandma’s brother Frank visited from Arizona. As Grandma made Frank a delicious lunch of squash cakes and homemade applesauce, she told him the story about the swarm of bees. Frank said, “In Arizona, the farmers often hired beekeepers to set up beehives near their fields. The bees pollinated (授粉) the crops and helped them to grow.”That was when Grandma realized that her bees had helped with her garden all summer. “So that’s why my little garden had such a big crop!” she exclaimed.From that time o n, Grandma always believed that since Grandpa couldn’t be there to help her that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make Grandma’s little garden grow and grow.【1】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The garden was dug by Grandparents during the Great Depression.B．The garden provided enough food and flowers for the family.C．The garden was made smaller as Grandparents grew older.D．The garden once lay in waste after Grandpa passed away.【2】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A．Grandma was too busy to hire someone to deal with the bees.B．Grandma felt very lonely and helpless when Grandpa passed away.C．Frank hired beekeepers to help Grandma keep the garden growing.D．Grandpa turned into bees to help Grandma keep up the garden.【3】The method the author uses in the underlined sentence is _______.A．offering analyses B．providing explanationsC．making comparison D．giving examples【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Grandpa’s Bees B．Grandparents’ GardenC．The Harvest of Summer D．The Secret of the Garden二、其他根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处（第1-4题）的最佳选项。
