an island called Tristan da Cunha,which is a si the nearest town Cape Town in South Africa.There’s no airport on Tristan.Every month or so,a boat will bring visitors but not many.The boat will also bring mail and supplies.You can only see about 270 people,300 cows,500 sheep,and a whole lot of penguins there.The British tried to build a military base there in 1816.They gave up after a year.But a soldier and his family talked a few people into staying.Those people slowly built a community.Few trees grow on the island.So they found wood that washed ashore.They used it to build homes and boats.For food,they raised cows,sheep and pigs.They fished and planted potatoes.They promised to share everything they had.Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan.But for many years,no one there used money.Instead,people on the island traded potatoes for supplies.It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail.Today,nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer.The island’s main industry is fishing.It has a single factory that cans fish.Several times,bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan.In 1885,men died in a boat accident.That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the

人教版高中英语必修一第二单元测试卷含答案第二单元ABeijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes(戏班) came to Beijing. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Er-huang in Anhui and Hubei. Its costumes are all fascinating and a rtistic. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.There are four main roles in Beijing Opera: Sheng ,Dan, Jing and Chou. Sheng is the leading male actor。

For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter .A Xiaosheng is a young man. A Laosheng is an old man. Dan is the female role. Jing，mostly male , is the face-painted role and Chou is the comedy actor or clown.Stories in Beijing Opera are very interesting. Some of them are from the history book, but most of them are from the literature, especially famous novels. The people in the story usually have some disagreements. They become angry and unhappy. They are sad and lonely. Sometimes they are nervous and worried. Then they find a way to make peace. The stories usually end with happiness and laughter and people are all happy in the end. 1．Beijing Opera’s singing is from _______.A. the literature and novelsB. Beijing and AnhuiC. the history bookD. Anhui and Hubei2．The second paragraph (段落) of the reading is about the ______of Beijing Opera.A. rolesB. storiesC. gesturesD. Paintings3．From the reading, we know the Chou most probably has a(n) _____feature.A. honestB. dullC. funnyD. serious4．Which of the following statements is TURE?A. There are only four roles in Beijing Opera.B. Peking Opera is full of different gestures.C. Beijing Opera is the most popular in the world.D. The people in the story usually are in agreement.BAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in thelanguages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmiwith an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet., Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.5. Many scholars are making efforts to _____.A.promote global languagesB.rescue the disappearing languagesC.search for language communitiesD.set up language research organizations.6. What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Having first records of the languagesB.Writing books on language searchingC.Telling stories about language usersD.Linking with the native speakers7. What is Turin’s book based on?A.The cultural statics in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Britain.D.His personal experience in Nepal.8. Which of the following best describes Turin’s Work?A.Write, sell and donate.B.Record, repeat and reward.C.Collect, protect and reconnect.D.Design, experiment and report.CWhen I was a kid in the 1960s. my parents had a country store in the small town of Frankfort, Maine. No neighboring houses could be seen From our place，and new salesmen were always amazed at the amount of business we did. Dad's motto was, “We sell everything.” If he didn't have something in store, he would pick it up for customers on his weekly trip to Bangor.One time Dad was in Bangor getting shoes for someone at a shoe factory, He saw big boxes full of shoes and asked about them. They were the mates(一双鞋中的一只) to faulty shoes that had been thrown away. He looked through the boxes and realized that there were usable brand-new shoes in there. He offered the manager five cents a shoe, Dad made the deal and got the manager to reserve any future boxes for him.Of course Mon, his business partner, was more practical, and her first reaction was, “But what are you going to do with them?”Dad bought an old school bus. He cleaned it up, removed the seats and placed big containers do wn both sites of the aisle(通道). When all was ready, the whole Family helped to put the shoes in place. At first，it looked like we had plenty of room on the bus, but Dad kept bringing home more boxes.There was no sign on the Shoe Bus. 'The only advertising Dad did was to place a piece of paper beside the store exit that read “Shoes $1 a pair. "When folks asked about the deal. they learned it wasn’t that easy because they had to find their own pairs. The attraction was a combination of getting a good deal on a quality pair of shoes and the thrill of the hunt.To this day I still run into people who talk about the fun they had searching for pairs in Dad's Shoe Bus.. The author's parents ran their store well because9. A. they always had enough supplies in storeB. they won the great support of new salesmenC. they opened it in a very crowded neighborhoodD. they did all they could to meet their customers' need10. Why did the customers think it fun shaping in the Shoe Bus?A. There were free bus rides offered on them.B. 'They could receive better customer service.C. They could match pairs of shoes by themselves.D. There was a wide variety of shoes to choose from.11. What can we learn about the author's father from the text?A. He had a good nose for business.B. He was clever at transforming a store.C. He was patient with customersD. He had a strong preference for bargains.DMirroring China’s Past: Emperors and Their BronzesChinese bronzes (青铜) of the second and first millennia BC are some of the most distinctive achievements in the history of art. These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies. When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections. This exhibition —the first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese history —presents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 - 221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use. Beginning with the Song dynasty (960 - 1279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers. In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings. These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes. Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship. Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture —as historical objects and as signifiers of an importantcultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.Mirroring China’s Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicago’s strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States.

They did not know how to farm or raise animals for food. We call them the Stone Age people because they used stone tools and weapons.You may feel s urprised in the world today there are still people who live like the Stone Age people. They live in the places that are hard to reach. Because they have met few people from the outside world, they don't know about modern inventions. They have not learned ways of doing things from others.For 25,000 years, groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of these groups is the Arunta tribe (部落). They do not know how to farm and how to raise sheep or cattle.The Aruntas spend most of their time searching for food and water. The men hunt animals with stone-tipped spears. The women and children look for roots, seeds and nuts. They use sticks to dig up the roots. Several Arunta families live together. They have no house. At night, they sleep around small fires.Now other people are moving into the center of Australia. Soon the Aruntas will no longer bea Stone Age people.56. The Stone Age people are called so because they ____.A. gathered seeds and plants to eatB. didn't know how to farmC. used stone tools and wea ponsD. didn't raise animals for food57. The Arunta tribe has lived ________.A. in the middle of AfricaB. in the center of AustraliaC. together with other peopleD. in poorly built houses58. Why do the Aruntas still live in the way as they lived before?A. Because they have not yet learned new ways from other people.B. Because they do not want to change their way of living.C. Because other people are moving in and living with the Aruntas.D. Because each family live alone without knowing others.59. It can be inf erred from the passage that ________.A. the Australians live much like the Stone Age peopleB. the Arunta tribe has a history of 25 centuriesC. the Stone Age people have at last disappeared in the worldD. the Aruntas will change their way of living sooner or laterＢThere are more than 250,000 rivers in the United States. Added up together, they flow for more than 5,500,000 kilometers.The largest and most famous river in the United States is the Mississippi. It starts near the northern border of the United States and flows through the center of the country for more than 3,700 kilometers. About 250 smaller rivers flow into the Mississippi. The mouth of the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico.However, the Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It flows for about 4,000 kilometers. It begins in the Rocky Mountains of North America. It flows along the borders of seven states before it empties into the Mississippi River near the city of Saint Louis, Missouri.Three rivers that join together in the north central state of Montana form the Missouri River. The water is clear there. But, as it moves east and south, the Missouri River turns brown as it collects huge amounts of dirt from the land. That is why many people call the Missouri River the “Big Muddy”.Some people say the Columbia River in the northwest is the most beautiful river in America. It flows from the Canadian province of British Columbia into the United States through the state of Washington. The Columbia River is the largest river that empties into the Pacific Ocean.Another famous river is the Rio Grande. It is the longest river in the state of Texas. It forms the border between Texas and Mexico.The oldest river in the United States is the New River. It begins in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and flows north through parts of Virginia and West Virginia. The New River may be also the second oldest in the world. It is funny how something so old can be called new.60. Near the city of Saint Louis is the place ________.A. where the Missouri River risesB. where the Missouri River joins the Mississippi RiverC. where other three rivers join the Missouri RiverD. where the Mississippi River flows into the ocean61.

First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore widen our vision and broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.However, as everything has t wo sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier (障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dea ling with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in ord er to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect (忽视) the disadvantages.64. The following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT ________.A. having more chances to get good jobsB. improving foreign language ability quicklyC. visiting well-known scenic spotsD. learning advanced science and technology65. The underlined word “instructors” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. neighborsB. teachersC. strangersD. classmates66. Why do some students find part-time jobs?A. Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.B. Because they want to make full use of their spare time.C. Because they are not interested in studying.D. Because they have to support themselves.67. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. studying abroad is a good way to learn advanced science and technologyB. everything has two sidesC. people should think twice before going abroadD. going abroad has more advantages than disadvantagesＤThere is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted (半融化的) snow from last winter on the ground.The reason why the water is so clear and everything is so quiet and still is that most of the animals and plants in and around the lake are dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮), and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the strong winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death a nd destruction (破坏) in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.68. Which season do you think it is?A. Spring.B. Summer.C. Autumn.D. Winter.69. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?A. Because the weather is terribly cold.B. Because the lake is quiet.C. Because the area is seriously polluted.D. Because they have all been killed.70. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed?A. Because the soil is becoming less and less.B. Because few plant life can stand the weather there.C. Because the water in the lake can't be used to irrigate (灌溉) the field.D. Because the soil there is becoming unfit for farming.71. What do you think is the best title of the passage?A. A beautiful place of interest.B. A polluted place.C. A quiet place in Sweden.D. A faraway mountain area.ＥOne of the most difficult things for children to deal with when moving to a new town is leaving their friends and making new ones.We once moved and one of our new neighbors told us about a summer camp at the Recreation Center all the kids went to. My husband and I looked into it and we found it was unbelievably cheap. I had the kids sign up (报名) the next day so that they could know more kids there.Another thing we did was to have them sign up for sports when school started. They were happy to be on teams with new friends they made. This also gave me a chance to meet new people and from them I s ometimes got some useful ideas for my new books.If you're just moving to a new house in the same city you live in now, it won't really be a problem unless your kids are changing schools. If they are, it is a great idea to have them take the address book to school. Thus, your children won't feel “lost” without their old friends.If you're able to, over the summer vacation, try inviting the friend your child misses most to come and visit your new home for a week, or even a few weeks. I know this can be difficult if that child has to fly, but maybe you can work out a plan with the child's parents. Think how happy the kids will be when they meet!72. The author had her kids sign up for the summer camp mainly because _____.A. she could afford the costB. she was asked to do so by her kidsC. it could give her kids a chance to meet more kidsD. it could make the summer holiday not so boring73. What is probably the author?A. A housewife.B. A business woman.C. A teacher.D. A writer.74. What we can't learn from the passage is that ____.A. a summer camp at the Recreation Center was very cheapB. having the kids take part in sports is good for both the author and her kidsC. parents should ask their children not to think of their old friendsD. parents should create more chances for children to make new friends75. The purpose of the passage is to teach parents how to ______ when they move to a new place.A. get used to the new life in a short timeB. help their children make new friends and keep the old onesC. get along with their new neighborsD. help their children get used to the new school life第二节书面表达假如你在暑假期间参加了一个英语夏令营，在该夏令营结束时举行的晚会上，你要对这次夏令营进行简单总结，并表达感谢。
