Generous and responsible.C. Talented and humorous.D. Creative and determined.7.Where is the text probably from?A. A guidebook.B. A news report.C. A book review.D. A textbook.cYawning is something we all do - maybe because we're bored carrying out boring tasks or because we're tired.Sometimes,just seeing other people yawn can set you off.But is this biological function really contagious, and why do we do it in the first place?Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen,but in fact it appears there is no clear biological reason.According to BBC Bitesize,new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating,much like the fan in your laptop.This might be why we're more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.What is clear is that we yawn more when we*re exhausted and ready for a nap,and we can't control when we do it - once we start,there's no stopping us!But it's also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior.John Drury,a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it.If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior,we are likely to copy it too.Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results.They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn.They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited.And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn't.They also found,when using electrical stimulation,that they were able to increase people's desire to yawn.These findings,they say,could be useful in treating other conditions likeTourette's,which involve the same area of the brain.What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we*re not tired -but,Ihope,not when you're reading this article!8.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "contagious" ?A.Infectious.B. Active.C. Dangerous.D. Efficient.9.According to a new research,we yawn because.A.we are too exhausted.B.our brain needs more oxygen.C.we are bored with difficult tasks.D.our brain needs to be cooled down.10.What is the similarity between John Drury*s findings and those of the university ofNottingham ?A.Humans can't stop yawning as it is beneficial.B.When told not to yawn,we will yawn less frequently.ing electrical stimulation can stimulate people to yawn.D.We are more likely to yawn when someone around us yawns.11.What is the text mainly about?A.The reasons for yawning.B.The benefits of studying yawning.C.The necessity of yawning.D.The similarity of the studies on yawning.DMany college students turn to ADHD （注意缺陷障碍）medicine during the exam week,which is regarded as "smart drugs" that will help their academic （学术的）performance.The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus,they should provide the same benefit for people who don't have the disorder.But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. "It's not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read," said Lisa Weyandt,a professor at the University of Rhode Island. To test whether this effect is real or not,researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions （一段时间）in the lab.The students took the standard 30 mg ADHD drugs before one session,and a sugar pill before the other.Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in theirblood pressure and heart rates. "The medicine was having an effect on their brain," Weyandt said.The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus,the researchers found.However,students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension,reading fluency or knowledge reviews,compared to when they'd taken a sugar pill. "We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories," she said. "That didn't improve." Worse,the ADHD drug actually harms students' memory.It's often misused because people pull all-nighters and they're tired,and they think it's going to keep them awake.Maybe it does,but it*s certainly not going to help their academic work.The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s.It's important to keep it healthy.There's also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a studenfs heart health.12.Why do some college students take ADHD drugs ?A. To improve their sleeping.B. To get higher marks.C. To make them feel relaxed.D. To treat brain disorder.13.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "boost" in Paragraph 2?A. Analyze.B. Affect.C. Improve.D. Understand.14.What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?A.They became more focused.B.Their blood pressure was reduced.C.Their reading fluency was greatly raised.D.They could remember better and more quickly.15.Where can we read this text?A. In a drug instruction.B. In a biology textbook.The Ways to Avoid Fighting with Your Mom Life is a struggle,but if you have a bad relationship with your mother,you should cool your passion,because mother-children relationships are very important.

Now German researchers have set up a “smart” house, programmed to help the elderly live at home with dignity. Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute say the house combines existing technology with future-oriented technology.For example, the “smart” bathroom has a touchscreen mirror that can remind people to take their medicine, wash their hands or brush their teeth. The hardware behind Fraunhofer’s electronic bathroom is not new, and the software runs on a regular personal computer.When the medicine cabinet is opened, a display in the middle of the mirror tells the person how many pills to take. The mirror is linked to a care provider, who can remotely check whether a patient at home is actually taking medicine and brushing his or her teeth. As many elderly people have arthritic(关节炎的)conditions that make it difficult to operate water taps, the mirror also has displays that turn the water tap on or off or control the water temperature.The bathroom is only the start. Kitchens, bedrooms and all other parts of the “intelligent” home will become “user-friendly” to meet all kinds of individual needs. Sensors in doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpets detect everytasks have been completed, how often the elderly person visits the bathroom or uses the toilet. In case of an emergency, the computer automatically alerts the chosen contact person or calls the care center.24.The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A.sensorsB. individual needsC. doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpetsD. every activity25. The house mentioned in the passage can be described as _________.A. intelligent and convenientB. smart but expensiveC. advanced and environmentally-friendlyD. fashionable and energy-saving26. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferringB. By comparing.C. By listing examples.D. By introducing a practical method.27. What is the propose of the passage?A. To calls on people to care for the old.B. To encourage the old to live with dignity.C. To stress the importance of developing technology.D. To introduce a new intelligent house.A. Time and tide wait for no man.B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.C. Tomorrow is another day.D. Shot arrows will not come back.30. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author’s viewpoint towards AI?A. Human beings will no doubt be destroyed by AI in the future.B. Super intelligent AI will put an end to human labour eventually.C. We should keep the development of AI within humans’ control.D.

Accidents can be prevented if parents are on the lookout for potential（潜在的）dangers. To help you keep your kids free from harm, here are some safety tips:a.

If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet（头盔）. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.f. Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.g. Be sure that your kid knows his or her home phone number and address, your work number, the number of another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies（紧急情况）.56.

The main purpose of the text is to ________.A. talk about school safetyB. call on readers to fight against school violenceCA cute invention was revealed this month at the International Robot Exhibition (IREX) in Tokyo. It’s called Jukusui-Kun (“deep sleep”in Japanese) ---a robotic pillow in the shape of a polar bear.The pillow is in fact a serious technological innovation hidden under a cute cover. It was developed by a group of scientists and engineers at Tokyo’s Waseda University to help people suffering from snoring (打鼾) and those who live with them. This is how the robotic pillow works: a microphone detects the noise level of the snoring, and if the snoring becomes very loud, which can be the sign of sleep apnea (睡眠窒息), the bear will raise its hand and carefully touch the face of the sleeper, leading to a change in the sleeper’s position without waking him or her up.This is definitely the world’s first anti-snoring machine and an important potential treatment for sleep apnea. This sleeping disorder involves pauses in breathing, and can lead to heart attacks during sleep. In Japan, around 2 million people are struggling with the problem. When a sleeper starts snoring, the sleeper’s blood oxygen level drops. The new device tracks (追踪) the level of oxygen in the sleeper’s blood and wirelessly sends the information to the polar bear. But the only problem is that people not only have to sleep on a bear-shaped pillow with robotic hands, but also have to insert （插入）their hands into a monitor that keeps track of blood oxygen levels. If these levels fall below a certain point, it gives the bear another cue (提示) to lift its hand.The bear is not yet on sale, and it remains to be seen whether a robotic hand reaching up to touch one’s face is any more effective than one’s partner giving one a good shove (推).61. What do we learn from the passage?A. Snoring can cause the blood oxygen to increase.B. The bear pillow will be available worldwide soon.C. A partner’s shove is more effective than the new robot’s touch.D. With this device, the sleeper’s hands can’t move freely while sleeping.62. What do we learn about the robotic bear?A. It’s comfortable to sleep on.B. It stops people snoring by waking them up.C. It’s the first machine made to deal with snoring.D. It uses a monitor to detect the loudness of the snoring.63. We would find the passage in the ________ section of a magazine.A. entertainmentB. lifestyleC. technologyD. fashion64. What’s the author’s attitude to the new device?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.65. What might be the best title for the passage?A. A Useful Robotic Polar BearB. The Disadvantages of SnoringC. The Different Ways to Deal with SnoringD. How New Technology Changes Your Sleep Pattern第二节摘录信息（共5小题；满分5分）Directions: Read the following passage.

ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. How did the author feel when the pil ot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails• You always take your phone to the bathroom with you• You never let the bat tery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购；订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2022.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A. nervousB. energeticC. crazyD. surprised7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife". I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home？How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"？A. Satisfied．B. Proud．C. Regretful．D. Anxious．10. Listing the housewife's duties，the author implies a housewife______________．A. usually leads a terrible lifeB. plays a more important roleC. does not always get her rewardD. makes a great contribution to the family11. If a housewife worked outside，she would______________．A. have the same life like beforeB. set a comfortable home for her familyC. absorb her family's stressD. lose the content that she is enjoying12. What does the author advice housewives to do when they introduce themselves?A. Take care not make a mistake.B. Pick up self-confidence and pride.C. Understand the significance of their jobs.D. Try to make others understand their life.DTHE BOOKING NOTES OF THE PLAY THE AGE OF INNOCENCE:Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ In personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.------ By telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card（Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted）------ By postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------ On lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

Later, she founded one of the world's first cosmetic (化妆品) companies after mixing lanolin，which is an oil that comes from sheep's wool，with flowers. Because of that，she became the world's richest woman at the time.Katharine Hepburn (1907－2003)Katharine Hepburn was known for playing strong­willed women in her films.She won four Academy Awards for Best Actress，the most an actress has ever won. Her new dress style made wearing trousers acceptable to women，which wasn't allowed at that time.Emmeline Pankhurst (1858－1928)Emmeline was an influential woman activist，who helped British women get the right to vote. She fought along with her husband for the rights of women all the time in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in 1996 in the province of Guizhou. She is certainly not “old” enough compared with her colleagues, but she is known at work as "Big Sister” as a sign of respect. Once in a 3-km running contest, she actually beat half of her male counterparts. Although work shifts are not uncommon at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, each shift requires tremendous courage because of the different background knowledge. However, for Zhou Chengyu, she experienced multiple positions in 5 launching tests and now she is the youngest commander at the site.Despite carefulness and high responsibility at work, she is just like her peers in normal life. Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out she went viral online. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.4．What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country?A．Her young age.B．Her vital role in her work.C．Her great courage.D．Her responsibility at work.5．Which of the following words can best describe Zhou Chengyu?A．Learned and confident.B．Respectable and generous.C．Patient and responsible.D．Modest and determined.6．Which of the following can replace the underlined words in paragraph 5?A．took pride B．made a contributionC．became a hit D．made an achievement7．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Young Pride B．A Successful ColleagueC．An Extraordinary Dream D．An Ambitious CommanderAnyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回忆录) of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目标) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.8．Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?A．Top managers.B．Language learners.C．Serious educators.D．Science researchers.9．The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______.A．attracted to teachingB．tired of teachingC．satisfied with teachingD．unhappy about teaching10．Where did Tyler work as the leader of a research center for over 10 years?A．The University of Chicago.B．Stanford University.C．Ohio State University.D．Nebraska University.11．Tyler is said to have never actually retired because _________.A．he developed a new method of testingB．he called for free spirit in researchC．he was still active in giving adviceD．he still led the Eight-Year StudyAbout 20 years ago, while on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Lijiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents.Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn’t agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said.It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the objective of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds, and in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal.Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. It has been worth it. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established.Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students’ study ends at midnight. Zhang’s husband died in the 1990s. She doesn’t have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people.In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people.12．Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl’s parents refused to let the girl return to school?A．The girl’s family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees.B．The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her.C．The girl didn’t even have the chance to complete her education.D．The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education. 13．What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls?A．Not many girls want to attend this school.B．Few parents support their girls’ going to school.C．The local government didn’t offer the land for the school.D．It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school.14．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Most students didn’t study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded.B．Huaping High School for Girls was founded.C．Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free.D．Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college.15．What is the main idea of this passage?A．A teacher shows girls how to reach the top.B．Let girls stand on the same starting line.C．Inspiring stories of girls’ education.D．Huaping High School for Girls.二、七选五How to Make the World a Better PlaceWhen you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. 16 Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot. An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person’s face even if only for a moment.Give away your money. Choose charity that has meaning for you. For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. 17Share your knowledge.If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite.Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. 18 Give your seat on the bus to an old man. The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.19 Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favourite fun place if he has had a hard week. Tell your children how much they mean to you.Be grateful to others.20 Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbour who is always there when you need her? Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.A．That is not all the truth.B．Care about those you know.C．Help the blind cross the street.D．You should know what love means.E．Every cent you give away will mean a lot.F．Have you had good service in a restaurant?G．You should learn to express gratitude to others.三、完形填空It is an honor for me to give this speech as one of the graduating students, and welcome you to this special Graduating Ceremony 2020 in Tsinghua University.This is a 21 moment.

大同一中高二班级英语10月考试命题老师王蓉晖第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhen my friend Lesa was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer, another friend and I went to the hospital to spend some time with her. We bought her a small toy and named him Lemon－Aide. We gave Lemon－Aide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her. When the treatments were completed, she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.A few months later，much to my surprise, it was me that she passed him to. Lemon－Aide went with me to all of my treatments.One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer. Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as Lemon－Aide' s Friends, Inc. We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time. Today we have totally 5013 volunteers. The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance. The physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.Lemon－Aide is for men, women, and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer. When life gave us lemons we made Lemon－Aide, a soft smiling toy that represents love, support, and encouragement.1．The author went to the hospital with her friend ________．A．to operate on Lesa B．to treat her diseaseC．to accompany Lesa D．to look after Lemon－Aide2．Lesa was given a small toy because ________．A．he represented her organization B．he could help weaken her painC．she would think of her friends D．her friends tried to comfort her3．It can be inferred that ________．A．the author had suffered from cancerB．Lemon－Aide had suffered from cancerC．Lesa had recovered from cancerD．Lemon－Aide learned to look after the author4．Lesa and the author formed an organization to ________．A．cure cancer B．raise money C．help cancer patients D．help their friendBDo you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared —that it’s just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it’s not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And there’s growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) —a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, ”explained Jaremka, who led the study.The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won’t work to just “tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”5．If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.A. they won’t feel happy anymoreB. they are more mentally harmed than physicallyC. they will find the feeling goes away by itselfD. they are more likely to fall ill6．What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremka’s team?A. To find out how people fight diseases.B. To prove loneliness hurts people’s immune systems.C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.D. To see how people’s emotions change when they give unprepared speeches.7．We can conclude from the article that ________.A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the worldB. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologiesC. websites must be set up to help people deal with lonelinessD. much more work needs to be done to fight lonelinessCI told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there isa big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident．He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans．He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches (拐杖) or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies (传记) of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.8. Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?A. Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people’s health.B. Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.C. Those who want to achieve success can’t expect to liv e an easy life.D. People’s attitude to adversity is the only factor of their success.9. By quoting what Douglas Bader said, the author intends to tell us “ .”A. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.B. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.C. If you risk nothing, you will have nothing.D. Failure is the mother of success．10. Following this passage, the author will further talk about .A. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedB. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversityC. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you faceD. what great people have in common11. Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A. Life is full of adversityB. Different attitudes towards adversityC. Nothing is impossibleD. Face adversity with a smileDAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and moreliving days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial (皇家的) family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way.
