As the only girl in a family of seven children，she often felt like she had “seven fathers”，because her six brothers，as well as her father，tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant，she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading，she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school，with the encouragement of one particular teacher，Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college，but instead of searching for a husband，she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At theuniversity’s Writers’ Workshop，however，she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman，but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life，but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”Cisneros published her first work，The House on Mango Street，when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish­speaking area in Chicago，much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then，Cisneros has published several books of poetry，a children’s book，and a short story collection.4．Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A．She had seven brothers. B．She felt herself a nobody.C．She was too shy to go to school. D．She did not have any good teachers.5．The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to ________.A．work for a school magazine B．run away from her familyC．make a lot of friends D．develop her writing style高二英语试题（第2页，共8页）6．According to Cisneros，what played the decisive role in her success?A．Her early years in college. B．Her training in the Workshop.C．Her feeling of being different. D．Her childhood experience.7．What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A．It is quite popular among students.B．It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C．It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.D．It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.CHoney (蜂蜜) from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals lookingfor honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.8. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?A. It’s small in size.B. It’s covered with wax.C. It’s hidden in trees.D. It’s hard to recognize.9. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A honey seeker.B. A bird.C. A bee.D. A beekeeper.10. The honey guide is special in the way ________.A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees’ nests11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in Africa高二英语试题（第3页，共8页）D. Honey-Lover’s HelperDChinese students always complain that they’re under great pressure and don’t get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental(精神的) health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.According to the study among nearly 6,000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave(病假) more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students. Moreover, Chinese students drink alcohol(酒精) and smoke earlier than Korean and Japanese students. Around 70 percent of Chinese students have drunk alcohol, compared to 50 percent for Korean and Japanese students.According to the survey, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure than their Chinese peers. Statistics (统计) show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”, “future after graduation”, “friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance, double that of students in the survey from Japan and South Korea. The report said that over half of students in South Korea had tried to lose weightin the past year, while in China the figure was only 22 percent.In measures of self-worth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I think I am successful”, “I can complete many things”, “I won’t give up to failure,” Chinese students showed greater self-confidence than students in Japan and South Korea.12. What’s the ma in idea of the passage?A. Chinese students always complain that they’re in bad condition.B. Chinese students are much luckier than their peers in South Korea and Japan.C. There is a report on the physical and mental health of senior high school studentsD. Chinese teenagers drink alcohol and smoke earliest among the three countries.13. What does the underlined word “that” in the 4th paragraph refer to?A. the weightB. the appearanceC. the heightD. the number14. The worries that cause students to be stressed come from the following factors EXCEPT _______.A. family relationshipB. friendshipsC. study and careerD. physical appearance15. Which statement is true according to the study?A. Compared with students of South Korea and Japan, Chinese students are taller and healthierB. About 45 percent of Chinese students always ask for sick and injury leavesC. Among students of 3 countries, Japanese students experience the most pressure mental pressure often over the past yearD. Chinese students are more confident and only about 1 out of 10 them choose to lose weight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.Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel Prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. 16 It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! 17 When he invented machineshe used both his imaginative ability and his analytical （分析）ability.18 Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve （弯曲）. 19 He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don't we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs!20 We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.A. We benefit by thinking creatively.B. We all need both sides of our brain.C. He got this idea by using his imagination.D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of高二英语试题（第5页，共8页）space.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）I would lose things.
