阜蒙县第二高中2017~2018学年度第二学期高一期中考试英语试卷时间:100分钟分数:120分第一部分:阅读理解(共两节;第一节:共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)AOn the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.” I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle(迷宫) that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be?I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, I've been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities because you'll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A's.Most important of all, be who you are, whether you're a “fool”, an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.1. The main reason for the author's fear on his first day is that ________.A.he was not familiar with the new surroundingsB.his schoolmates were unfriendly to himC.he was unable to work out the puzzleD.his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry2. From the author's first day experience we can infer that ________.A.he didn't know the right way to classB.he got to school before classes beganC.he was fond of the school immediately.D.his home was far from the school3. After his first week at school, the author ________.A.was still not accustomed to the scheduleB.gradually adjusted himself to the new schoolC.found high school not so challenging as he had imaginedD.ran for monitor of his class against three other students4. According to the passage, the secret of the author's success lies mainly in________.A.making more friends B.getting more A's at schoolC.being who he really is D.joining in out of class activitiesBEvery day we go to school and listen to teachers, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends --- you are in a situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease in ordinary conversation but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.5. When you speak to the class, you should speak __________.A.as loudly as possible B.loudly C.in a lowvoice D.forcefully6. The situation in the class is _________ that in your house.A.not very different from B.not the same asC.the same as D.sometimes the same as7. The main idea of this passage is __________.A.that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB.that we must speak loudlyC.that we must keep silent at any time D.that we must talk with the classCLong bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.”Drink Good Wet Root Beer.”Fill up with Pacific Gas.”Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (惊心动魄的) as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.8. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Advertisements on the billboards.B. Films on television.C. Buses on the road.D. Gas stations.9. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.D. To describe the billboards along the road.10. The writer of this passage would probably favor .A. bus drivers who aren’t recklessB. driving aloneC. a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road11. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because .A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in betweenC. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.12. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are.A. comfortableB. excitingC. tiringD. boringDTokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.13. Tokyo is different from London in that ______.A. it has a larger populationB. there are more traffic jamsC. night clubs are sometimes emptyD. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot14. Fires break out___________ in Tokyo according to the writer.A. not very oftenB. only several times a dayC. quite oftenD. very seldom15. Japanese trains ______A. often leave and arrive on timeB. are often crowdedC. are the main means people use to travel to and from workD. all of the above第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Everyone wants to achieve happiness and smile.16 How can you find real happiness and smile? By getting rich? In case you are scratching your head,looking for some reasons or ideas to be happy, here are a few.Throw an impromptu(即兴的) party. 17 An impromptu one increases the joy to a new level. And of course making other people happy is bound to have the same effect on you.Treat yourself. Sometimes all it takes to make one happy is a little ind ulgence(放纵). So, go ahead and grab a cup of coffee and sit inside a blanket with a good book! You will be surprised at how happy it makes you.18 Happiness can be transformed! When we feel happy and excited, it can lift the spirits of others. Your simple gesture can transform a person’s day and get him or her prepared to take on any challenge.Have a conversation with a parent. If you are like most kids, you possibly spend more time texting or surfing the Internet than talking to your family. 19 You will be surprised at the feeling of joy that it brings to you.Finally, don’t forget to be happy every day! While International Day of Happiness may come about only once a year, happiness is around you all day and night. 20A. You just have to seek it out and grab it.B. But life is hard,so it is very difficult to find real happiness and smile.C. Most of your family members show no interest in texting or the Internet.D. Set aside your mobile phone for a few minutes and have a chat with a family member.E. Be friendly to others and smile at a stranger.F. Nothing makes people happier than being invited to a party.G. You should try to celebrate the Day of Happiness every day and everywhere.第二部分英语知识运用第一节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)“Mum, can I invite my classmate Brett over to stay tomorrow night, please?

AThe best apps for food wasteToo Good To GoThis fast-expanding platform was launched in 2016, and handled food waste by making surplus (剩余的), unsold food fromsupermarkets, cafes and restaurants available to consumers at heavily discounted prices. There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price.OlioFounded in 2015, Olio claims to be the world’s biggest food-sharing network. It connects neighbors with each other so that surplus food is given, not thrown away. Olio users just take a picture of their items and add them to the listings. Neighbors receive customized messages and can request anything they fancy, with pick-up arranged through private messaging.KitcheKitche handled food waste in the home by helping users to keep track of what they have bought and plan meals accordingly. Users scan receipts or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates. NoWasteNoWaste allows users to keep track of the food in their fridge and freezer, also by scanning shopping receipts. You can set the use-by dates for all your food, receive messages when they are close to the last date, and record shopping lists and meal plans.1. Which app enables users to buy food at really low pricesA. Olio.B. Kitche.C. NoWaste.D. Too Good To Go.2. What can users do through OlioA Buy unsold food from supermarkets. B. Share surplus food with neighbors.C. Find a “magic bag” of food from cafes.D. Plan meals using available food items.3. What do Kitche and NoWaste have in commonA. Both can offer users online receipts after their shopping.B. Both can advise users what to buy based on a recipe bank.C. Both can remind users of foods’ use-by dates.D. Both can tell users what food they waste the most.BSanyé Mylo’s eyes twinkle with ex citement when he stands in the sound booth of The Record Co. in Boston, eager to bring his creation to life. With the press of a button, his latest rap track fills the room. “I didn’t know spaces like this existed,” says Mylo, who grew up in the low-income neighborhood of Dorchester. He is one of the youngest musicians who, thanks to The Record Co. , has turned his music into a full-time occupation.Founded in 2010 by Matt McArthur, The Record Co. aims to give musicians more affordable access to the creative workspace andintroduce the world of music to those who may have never considered their place in it.McArthur understands this challenge firsthand. As a music technology student at Berklee College of Music, he was frustrated by the high costs of renting time in production studios. On average, a recording studio in Boston costs more than $100 per hour to rent. He saw a recording studio not as a private office for a man of means but as a community center available to all. So he took out loans, collected donations and opened a studio in a tiny basement in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Slowly but steadily, McArthur expanded it and eventually rented a new property to include spaces for practice and production.Today, The Record Co., with a full-time staff of more than 20 people, is a state-of-the art, 12,000-foot facility that can be rented for as little as $10 per hour. Each month, it receives about 1,000 reservations, and around 3,500 musicians pass through its doors. At The Record Co., the principle is clear: Music should be affordable for everyone, and so should the space for creating it. The building has been shaped not only with an ear to acoustics(音响效果)but also with an eye to ensure it is as welcoming to a musician in a wheelchair as to one who walks in with a guitar over the shoulder.4 Why did McArthur found The Record Co.A. To make musicians well-known.B. To make a fortune through music.C. To persuade people to pursue music.D. To make music production affordable.5. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3A. Provide some advice for musicians.B. Add some background information.C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.D. Launch an appeal for musical creation.6. What does the underlined word “means” in paragraph 4 meanA. Wealth.B. Method.C. Vision.D. Determination7. Which of the following is the best title for the textA. Bring Boston’s music to the worldB. Turn music into a full-time occupationC. A recording studio has advanced facilitiesD. Music belongs to everyone at The Record Co.CEvery year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22, and people all around the world celebrate this day by taking part in environmental awareness activities and working towards raising awareness about important issues that our planet Earth is currently facing, like global warming and pollution.Before the 1970s there were almost no environmental laws and industries were allowed to dump their industrial waste and fumes anywhere in the world. A US Senator by the name of Gaylord Nelson was concerned about the growing levels of pollution. So in the spring of 1970, Senator Nelson created Earth Day as a way to promote awareness about these issues in the US. His plan was successful, as 20 million Americans started a demonstration (示威游行) for Earth Day around the world. As a result, the US government started an agency called the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Over the next few years, the movement spread across the world and Earth Day became internationally recognized. The theme of Earth Day 2021 is “restore our Earth”. The focus of this year’s theme is restoring Earth’s natural processes and ecosystems. Apart from that, the goal of this year’s Earth Day is to focus on taking green technologies and innovative (创新的) actions to restore the Earth’s natural ecosystem. More th an stopping pollution and global warming, this year’s Earth Day focuses on reversing the damage caused to the Earth.Despite strict environmental laws in many countries across the world, problems such as global warming, air pollution and climate change continue to threaten our planet. Many scientists around the world are warning us about the already irreversible problems thathave been created by microplastics, oil spills and depletion (消耗) of the ozone layer. If the human race continues on the same path as before, the extinction of the human race is not too far off in the future. Earth Day seeks to help raise people’s awareness around the world about these issues and bring positive changes, so future generations stand a chance of living a safer life.8. Which activity is suitable to celebrate Earth DayA. Plastic waste collection.B. A long-distance bicycle race.C. A lecture about human rights.D. Medical research on cancers.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly aboutA. The history of Earth Day.B. The success of Gaylord Nelson.C. Environmental changes in the 1970s.D. The establishment of environmental laws.10. What is special about Earth Day of 2021A. It helps to slow down global warming.B. It aims to bring the Earth back to normal.C. It focuses on reducing individuals’ carbon footprint.D. It promotes the development of emerging industries.11. What is the purpose of the textA. To predict the future of the Earth.B. To describe our terrible living environment.C. To state the progress in protecting the Earth.D. To increase people’s awareness of Earth Day.DManta rays (魔鬼鱼) are some of the creatures in the ocean who allow divers to swim right up to and interact (与……互动) with them. Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwide. Peru, a country in South America, recently took a big step to protect giant manta rays: It banned fishing for them. Although 12 other countries have passed laws to protect rays, Peru’s may be the most i mportant one yet. That’s because there are more manta rays in the Pacific Ocean near Peru than in any other place in the world. Giant manta rays are unusual-looking creatures. The giant, flat rays are typically about 4. 5 meters wide and can grow up to 8 meters wide! “They’re sort of like giant flying carpets underwater, ” says Joshua Stewart of the Manta Trust, an organization that researches manta rays.People catch rays for their meat. Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but it’s even worse for mant a rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray that’s caught hurts the population in a big way. People who break Peru’s new law can be fined or have their fishing licenses taken away. Even rays caught accidentally in fishing nets must be set free.Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico. The footage (连续镜头) the cameras collect could help researchers predict where rays swim and when. The scientists could use the information to warn fishing boats to avoid these areas, helping reduce the number of accidentally caught rays.Stewart says it’s important to protect these unique creatures. “There’s really no other animal that compares in size that you can have interactions with in the wild.”12. What’s a characteristic of manta raysA. They are very friendly to people.B. They are usually of small size.C. They can fly like a bird.D. They like swimming up and down.13. What’s the current situ ation of manta raysA. Their habitats are badly damaged.B. They only live in the Pacific Ocean.C. Fewer and fewer female rays give birth.D. Their number has dropped greatly.14. What’s the Manta Trust also trying to do besides doing research on manta raysA. Look for more rays.B. Protect them.C. Make films about them.D. Reduce their population.15. How does Stewart feel about Peru’s new lawA. It makes no sense.B. It is hard to follow.C. It is really essential.D. It needs improvement.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outside of school. For example, I went to listen to a journalist's speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are required to give speeches on events that are happening in the world.

Besides (除……之外,还有)"Shanzhai" electronic products, there are "Shanzhai" movies, "Shanzhai" stars and even a "Shanzhai" Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve."Shanzhai" has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, "Shanzhai" version "Bird's Nest(鸟巢)" and "Water Cube(水立方)" woven by farmers with bamboo attract(吸引) wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic said that taking the "Shanzhai" Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the "Shanzhai" version appears timely to attract people. "Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, 'Shanzhai' culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds," he said.To the mainstream(主流) culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture is a challenge and a motivation(推动). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.12.The Chinese word "Shanzhai" may have started with_______.A. fake(假的) cell-phonesB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympic buildings13.According to the passage, "Shanzhai" culture means_______.A. the action that a person imitates famous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that are copies of something famousD. those similar names to famous brands14.We can infer that the mainstream culture_______.A. is held back by "Shanzhai" cultureB. is the challenge of"Shanzhai" cultureC. will be replaced by "Shanzhai" cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of "Shanzhai" culture15.The underlined word "imitates" is closest in meaning to_______.A. 偷窃B. 仿造C. 做广告D. 欺骗第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 3 分,满分 15 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。

AAs the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宫庭) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of hisearly works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(先辈),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.1. Beethoven did Not make a living by ___.A. teaching studentsB. giving concertsC. selling his worksD. doing business2. Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until _____.A. 1765B. 1707C. 1750D. 17163.

Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favorite color—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,”she says.That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,”Kristin says. “We became‘front yard people’”Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it's not big enough or they don't have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,”Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses—and the pressure.She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all50 states and in 13 countriesaround the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise.“No matter what color it is, it's a friendship table,” Kristin says.4. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement?A. To host more parties in her front yard.B. To entertain her friends and neighbors.C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood.D. To create harmonıous communities worldwide.5. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text?A. Creative and sociable.B. Friendly and humorous.C. Generous and ambitious.D. Cautious and responsible.6. What can be inferred from the text?A. People don't like others to step into their houses.B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.D. People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first.7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Love Your NeighborsB. An Amazing WomanC. Happy Front Yard TimeD. Tables Where All Are WelcomeCSnow crab legs, the centerpiece of any self-respecting seafood, are no longer on the menu. They are the victim of a massive population crash that led Alaska to cancel its Bering Sea snow crab harvest for the first time in recorded history this year. The$132 million-a-year industry saw the state's snow crab population drop 87%, from 8billion in 2018 to 1 billion last year. Officials suggested that climate change might be to blame; Alaska is the fastest-warming state in the U. S. But that's only part of the story, says Wes Jones, an Alaska-based fisheries expert. According too the marine biologists he works with,, the most immediate cause of snow crab death is something even seasoned fishermen didn't see coming: a mass cannibalism(同类相食) frenzy.Back in 2017, Jones says, local crabbers started reporting a population explosion of juvenile snow crabs. The boom continued into 2019, creating what Jones says was the largest population on record. At the time, the young crabs were too small for a legal harvest- juvenile snow crabs take four to five years to be fully mature. Meanwhile, Bering Sea temperatures , which is usually close to freezing, jumped several degrees from 2017 to 2019 and caused thespecies to speed up their metabolisms(新陈代谢).“All of a sudden you had this huge number of little crabs coming up, eating themselves out of house and home.”says Jones. “Then the water warmed, which meant they had to eat more.”It was a double whammy , and the results were unenviable for a hungry species that has run out of its usual food source. They basically cannibalized each other.”he says.Snow crabs are o nly the latest victims of climate change in the Bering Sea. Risıng temperatures have often led to unpredictable boom-and-bus t cycles, which have had unanticipated consequences up and down the food chain. A population explosion of sockeye salmon is one likely reason for the recent collapse of Alaska's red king crab harvest, which was also canceled this year. Meanwhile, the warming waters of the Bering Sea have opened the door for Pacific cod, a predator of juvenile crabs.It will be years before the Alaskan snow crab population recovers to harvest-worthy levels, says Jones. And that's only if temperatures in the Bering Sea stay cool enough for the cold-loving juveniles—and climate change is making everything harder to predict. “When you start seeing things outside of the range of what you’ve seen before,” says Jones, “you don't know how that is gonna affect something until it's happened, like rising water temperatures and cannibalism.”8. Why did Alaska cancel its Bering Sea snow crabs harvest this year?A. Customers are no longer crazy about snow crab.B. Snow crabs consume another species as food.C. They population of snow crab dropped sharply.D. Alaska suffers from severe climate change.9. What does the underlined phrase “double whammy” mean in paragraph 2?A. a shortage of food source and cannibalism.B. climate change in the Bering Sea illegal sea harvestC. the advanced metabolism and freezing sea temperature.D. a population explosion of snow crabs and a rise of the sea temperature.10. What can we learn from Wes Jones` words in the last paragraph?A. Bering Sea is certain to stay cool enough for the snow crab.B. Alaskan snow crab population will recover instantly.C. The current situation is hard to predict until it`s happenedD. It is effortless to research how fast the climate changes11. What`s the best title of the text?A. Alaskan fishing industry suffers heavy losses.B. Climate change leads to victims in the Bering Sea.C. Alaska delayed a snow crab harvest..D. The curious case of the cannibal crabs.DWho cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology)revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday”that they should try to live on ideas.This belief in “post-industrial society”has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide”between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at thenational and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.12. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to .A. a lack of confidence in technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources13. The example in Paragraph 4suggests that donators should .A. take people's essential needs into accountB. make their programmes affordable to peopleC. ensure that individuals gets financial supportD. provide more alternative Internet facilities14. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.B. Believing that the world has become borderless.C. Ignoring the power of economic development.D. Focusing on the role of international communication.15. What can we learn from the passage?A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.C. Making right career choices is vital to personal success.D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.第二节(共5题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger. However, it acts only as a guide, and it can’t tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger at your favorite fast food joint(快餐店). Now Panasonic’s new device, CaloR ieco, can actually give you accurate information on exactly what is on your plate in a few seconds.Showcased at the CEATEC 2017 tech show, CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection to offer accurate calorie information so as to determine the nutritional values of any food. All you have to do is place your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food there.Once it’s done analyzing the various foods in your meal, CaloRieco displays the num ber ofcalories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and similar food. CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your Personal Digital Assistant, so you can access it whenever you need.Panasonic said that its invention is aimed at people going on a diet and diabetes(糖尿病)sufferers, both of whom make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at CEATEC is just a model. It’s scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next f ew years, but the price remains a mystery.21.What’s special about CaloRieco?A.It can be linked to our smartphones.B.It can act as a guide on healthy food.C.It can tell you the average calories in food.D.It can provide accurate information on food.22.What’s the dis advantage of CaloRieco?A.It is difficult to operate.B.It couldn’t be used outdoors.C.It cannot work without an app.D.It functions poorly with liquid food.23.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.We can get CaloRieco at a cheap price.B.CaloRieco is not suitable for healthy people.C.CaloRieco is not available to consumers at present.D.The invention of CaloRieco is proved to be a success.BAlida Monaco doesn’t spend her summers doing the usual teenage work, like working at the mall. Instead, she’s studying.It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco, who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend(趋势)teenagers concentrating on their studies, even during the summer. That’s down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Increased competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak economic growth are all contributing to the decline of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly intense and homework eats up more time, data suggest the biggest reason why some teens won’t be working this summer is that they simply don’t have time.For college-bound teens, some teachers even advise students not to waste time on a summer job. “Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer,” said Shannon Reed, a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh a nd a former high school English teacher. “I could never advise that they get jobs during that short break. They should rest.”Young people who don’t work may miss out on valuable skills that they’ll need later in life. Early work experiences teach reliability, financial intelligence, self-control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack of work experience. “Maybe I have missed out on a couple of life skills,” she said. “But I don’t think it will harm me in any way.”24.What is the trend of American teenagers?A.They are becoming lazy.B.They are becoming keen on doing holiday jobs.C.They are focusing more on studies than on jobs.D.They are becoming particular about holiday jobs.25.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The fierce competition teenagers face.B.The structure of America’s workforce.C.The reasons for teenagers quitting work.D.The effects of America’s economic decline.26.What’s Shannon Reed’s attitude towards the new trend?A. UncaringB. FavorableC. WorriedD. Doubtful27.What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?A.MotivatedB. HelpedC. BotheredD. ConfusedCDear Mr. Jones,I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from someone living as near as your next-door neighbor; but I have to raise a subject that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that separates our two gardens. You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees, so to speak, bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acknowledge, quite legal, for them occasionally to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence.But to be plain with you, Mr. Jones, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, tear the branches off the side of every one of my apple trees, and leave my trees looking as though a battle had been fought on one side of them. I am, if anything, even more tired of waking up in these fine autumn mornings, to find even the apples on my side of the fence much less in number. I know this is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) chased them home.While I am on the subject, I am at least grateful to you for keeping your bonfires on the far side of your garden this year. Last year neither I nor your children had any apples, because the smoke from your bonfires destroyed all the flowers before the apples had time to form. I hope that next year—for the first time since I came to this village—I shall have my apples, and your children will have theirs and that the sight of the line of apple trees will be pride to us both.Otherwise, I shall not express my displeasure simply in writing to you, but shall have to refer the matter to those capable of taking stronger action.Yours sincerely,J. Smith28. What does the writer mainly complain about in his letter?A. Mr. Jones’ children bending the fence.B. Mr. Jones’ children climbing the apple trees.C.

Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they explored across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just three months after the assassination(刺杀)of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles were exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with our spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It’s also a great source of inspiration.32.Music has magical power because it_________.A. is a kind of languageB. can be played much louder than wordsC. receives a personal radio signalD. can influence a person’s spirit33.What can we learn about the Beatles from the passage?A.
