2021-2022学年湖南师范大学附属中学高一下学期第一次月考英语试题时量：150分钟满分：150分第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AFood Festivals Around the WorldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10, 000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy(辛辣的), but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure-if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!La Tomatina —The World’s Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes — official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50, 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash!21. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must _____________.A. kick or throw their cheeseB. wear various formal clothesC. roll a wooden cheese in their own laneD. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos22. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?A. In China.B. In New Mexico.C. In the Caribbean.D. In Australia.23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.B. More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.C. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine.D. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival.BEach year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history.Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.24. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special?A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her.B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.C. Because it looked quite different from others.D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates.25. What can we know about Pat’s family?A. They are anxious to be celebrities.B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.C. They never stop creating opportunities.D. They support and encourage each other.26. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Repeat.B. Represent.C. Identify.D. Follow.27. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story?A. Love me, love my dog.B. Passion gives life power.C. A good beginning is half done.D. It’s never too late to learn.CIn the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athleticism(运动才能) as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the “superhuman” power of athletes.Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the application of the laws of aerodynamics(空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag.To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles(微粒), the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object’s movement.While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine,” to do this, athletes align(调整) their skis and body nearly parallel(平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack(迎角) that will also maximize lift.”Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift.For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes.28. What contributes to lift in ski jumping?A. The force of gravity.B. The upward force of air.C. The interaction between athletes and air particles.D. The interaction between air particles.29. Which of the following is NOT a technique used by ski jumpers in order to achieve the best performance?A. Keep their bodies parallel to the ground.B. Maximize the angle of attack.C. Keep their skis aligned with the ground.D. Position their skis in a V-shape when they jump.30. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping?A. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height.B. Athletes must strictly control their weight.C. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes.D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages.31. What’s the main idea of the article?A. The techniques used by ski jumpers.B. Some rules of the ski jumping competition.C. The scientific principles behind ski jumping.D. How the laws of aerodynamics work in sports.DWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy(精通技术的). However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because _____________.A. they are not content with their daily lifeB. they regard social networks importantC. they are curious to explore new technologiesD. they want to view their children’s online activities33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?A. They can’t choose friends around them.B. They have nothing to hide.C. They don’t want to teach their parents.D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.34. A recent survey suggested that _____________.A. teens value their privacy and independenceB. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hideC. a teen’s rejection means nothing specialD. independence is everything teens desire35. What is most likely to be talked about next?A. How to bridge the generation gap.B. How to make friends on social networks.C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.D. How to use the social networking sites.第二节（共5小题；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。

Gradually, I began to trust him. I realized that we actually had some things in common, especially when 25 came to movies and TV shows. We spent a lot of time together 26 out to watch movies.

Water constantly runs into it, but, because of the law of gravity (万有引力定律)，nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? It’s called the Dead Sea. It’s called this because no living th ing could live there. The water is almost dead, compared to what happens with “living water〞.When you think of the term “living water〞, the image that comes to mind is a rushing river that is flowing. It’s filled with life and movement. It doesn’t just “r eceive〞, but is also “giving〞 simultaneously.Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or something else, we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled.As a result, we begin to operate in fear and therefore don’t give anything because we’re afraid that we won’t have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we becomelifeless. Life is meant to flow. when a pool stops flowing, it becomes stagnant(停滞的). Stagnant water breeds diseas e and death. It can’t breathe. It can’t receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, there’s no room for anything else to come in. The solution? Give. As you give, you’ll receive. It’s a universal law. You see it at work everywhere. we’ve somehow been dece ived 〔欺骗〕into believing that if we don’t give, we’ll have more. Or we’re afraid that if we do give, we won’t have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But it doesn’t work. Because when we don’t give, we shut off the flow of what’s coming in.36. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The development of the Dead SeaB. The special character of the Dead SeaC. The position of the Dead SeaD. The present situation of the Dead Sea37. According to the passage, people wouldn’t lik e to give because________.A. they are really poor in factB. they don’t know how to giveC .they don’t know who to give D. they are still not satisfied38. According to the passage, if you refuse to give, you will___________.A. be like a pool with stagnant waterB. have enough space for what you’ll receiveC. need something more to be satisfiedD. do everything according to the law39. What word can take the place of the underlined word “breeds〞 ?A. comes from B influences C leads to D buries40. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Give and you’ll receiveB. The secret of the Dead seaC. A universal lawD. come in and come outB2021, athletes from around the world will compete for gold medals in the Summer Olympics. Even though the games are three years away, Brazil’s citizens already feel like winners.The nation was named to host this important sporting event in October,2021. It will be the first Olympics held in South America.The games will take place in Rio de Janeiro. The city beat out three other sites, Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago, to host the event. When the International Olympic Committee chose Rio de Janeiro, cheering people flooded the city’s streets. “This is huge for Rio and for the whole country,〞 says citizen Sueli Ferreira.The Olympics are expected to attract tens of thousands of people. Brazilian officials have already started to prepare for the crowds. “ We know what we need to do,〞explains Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. “ The words from now on are work, work and work.〞Officials want to fix up local sports centers before Rio de Janeiro steps into the spotlight. They also want to reduce the amount of crime(犯罪).They hope hosting the games will improve life in Brazil. About 30 percent of people there live in poverty〔贫穷〕, or poor conditions. Tourism during the Olympics isexpected to create more than 2 million jobs.“ It’s going to be good for the economy, good for the people,〞 Ferreira says. “ This gives us hope that thi ngs will be better here.〞41. According to the passage, the 2021 Olympics will be held in ______.A. EuropeB. AsiaC. North AmericaD. South America42. The feeling of Brazilians can be described as _________.A. proudB. surprisedC. worriedD. nervous43. The underlined word “flooded〞 in Para.3 means_______A. crossedB. filledC. visitedD. cleaned44.

Brazilian officials will try hard to prepare for the OlympicsD. Brazilian official are now too busy to prepare for the Olympics45. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that___________.A. Brazilians’ life will be better because of the OlympicsB. not all Brazilians are interested in the OlympicsC. most Brazilians are now living in poor conditionsD. Brazilians worry about losing jobs during the OlympicsCIf there is one thing I’m sure a bout, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Evennow some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people ,reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage〔报道〕of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters. They will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific researches .They are already happening in areas, which directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operate and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传递)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read.—sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between thedifferent media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspaper, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screens or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspapers47. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspaper will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV48. From the passage, we can infer ______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together, with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspapersD. the writer believe some media will die out49. The phrase “feed off〞 in the last paragraph means ______.A. compete withB. depend onC. fight withD. kill off50. Which statement below is not true according to the author?A Some people may not like to read on a screen.B Actually newspaper is more pleasant than other media.C Some people get most of their news from television or radio.D Some scientific researches have already affected our lives now.第二节 (一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项里面有两项为多余选项。

Open a book by any philosopher and you'll probably read that a meaningful life has to involve achieving something difficult. That's because many philosophers are perfectionists when it comes to the meaning of life. It's not just philosophers, either. Perfectionism is one of the main reasons people tend to believe their lives are meaningless.①________ If they aren’t doing something absolutely amazing, then life has no meaning.②________So the conclusion is obvious: most lives are meaningless. Right? Not really. Dig a little deeper, and perfectionism falls apart. Actually you don’t need to be a perfectionist about the meaning of life. Life would be fantastic if everything was perfect. But something doesn’t need to be perfect to be fantastic. ③________For one, it’s pretty inconsistently applied most of the time. People who are perfectionists about the meaning of life often don't apply it to other areas of their lives.④________For example, perfectionists don’t think they’re a failure if they don’t get a hundred percent on every test. So isn't it also absurd to apply that kind of standard to the meaning of life?It doesn't end there. The demands that perfectionists place on themselves and others are actually really unrealistic. And that means they can only lead to disappointment.⑤________ It would be similarly odd to call one of your friends a huge failure because he can achieve as much in a day as Superman. But that exactly the logic perfectionism applies when it claims that our lives have to be extraordinary in some way to have meaning.A.They see life as all-or-nothing.B.We don’t expect a dog to drive a car.C.This leads to lots of double standards.D.You're unlikely to be satisfied with any result.E.And there are actually a few problems with perfectionism.F.However, most of us aren’t an Einstein or a Mother Teresa.G.They'd probably dismiss the ideas like that as absurd, in fact.[答案]AFECB2020-2021学年度湖南省永州市祁阳二中下学期高一第一次月考英语试卷根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Watch Streetlife Dace GroupBOn Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric who was in the garage to fix his truck.Around 8 p.m. Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father laying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶) The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders.Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, ”You got it! One more try”She tried against and was able to tip the tuck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck.She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. The ns he ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. “I was afraid the car was going to explode, ”says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck. which faced forward, turned the key. and pressed the gas pedal(油门). The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete.safely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. “There’s a fire! Everyone get out!”She yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom，and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose(水管) and sprayed the fire while calling 911.A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived.The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. “Charlotte is a remarkable kid,”says he dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, “I was saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.”4.

As a result of the fire, ________A. the house was not fit to live inB. the truck explodedC. the three-month-old baby was injuredD. Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulderCGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A math who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. HE can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. Amother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkles, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldiloks and the Three Bears. ”One explanation is the law of overlearning which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it.In Childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding ,and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, Twinkle, little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By ramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.7. What’s the main idea of Paragraph1 ?A. Stories for children are easy to rememberB. Children have a better memory than grown-upC. Poem reading is a good way to learn wordsD. People remember well what they learned in childhood8. The author explains the law of overlearning by______A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. using examplesD. making a comparison9. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is ____A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies10. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It lead to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited wayC. It’s likely to result in poor memoryD. It increases students’learning interestDHe must have been completely lost in something he was reading he was reading because I had to tap on the car window to get his attention. “Is your ear available?”I asked when he finally looked up at me .He nodded, then saidapologetically as I settle into the back seat, “I’m sorry , but I was reading a letter. ”He sounded as if he had a cold. “I am not in a hurry.”I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter. ”He shook his head. “I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.”Letters from home always mean a lot, I said.“This isn’t family,”he replied. “Although it might just as well have been family, Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other ‘’Old Friend”- when we’d meet. I’m not much good at writing.“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence(通信) very well,”I said “I know I don’t, but I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?”“All my life, we were kids together, went to school together and all the way through high school.”I said. ”Actually, ”the driver went on, “I hadn’t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget ”You said ‘was’. Does that mean?”He nodded. “a couple of weeks ago. ”I’m sorry.”HE didn’t say anything more ,and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me.”I should have kept in contact with him.”“Well,”I agreed, “We should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”When I got to my hotel room I didn’t uppack right away. First I had to write a letter-and mail it.11. The driver said sorry to the writer because ________A. he didn’t want to take the passengerB. he didn’t notice the writerC. he had a cold and could not speakD. he didn’t feel well12. We can learn from paragraph 2 that ________A. Old Ed was a member of the driver’s familyB. the driver never met Old Ed in the pastC. the driver seldom wrote to Old EdD. the driver often called Old Ed on the phone13. It can be inferred from the passage that _______A. the driver had been a friend of the writerB. the driver didn’t like to read the letterC. the driver’s friend must have passed awayD. the driver’s friend must be angry with him14. Why did the writer write a letter and mail it right away when he got to the hotel room?A. he had the habit of writing lettersB. His family asked him to do soC. he missed his friends very muchD.

AThe week -long Spring Festival holiday starting on Feb 11 is usually a busy, moneymaking movie screening season in China. It will see the release of eight movies, all domestic productions, according to the schedule already disclosed by film data platforms.Detective Chinatown 3, the newest installment in China’s well -received Detective Chinatown film franchise, topped the list of most -anticipated holiday films compiled by movie -ticketing platform Maoyan.A sequel to the 2018 comedy hit Detective Chinatown 2 that grossed 3.4 billion yuan ($526 million), Detective Chinatown 3 is set for release on the Spring Festival that falls on Feb 12.

The total box office revenue in the first ten days of 2021 exceeded 2 billion yuan, up by more than 730-million -yuan year on year.The market’s total earnings in 2020 were 20.4 billion yuan. Of these, the top 10 earners were all domestic productions, according to official figures.1．How many movies are set to hit theaters during the week -long Spring Festival holiday? A ．Nine. B ．Eight.C ．Seven.D ．Six.2．Which movie can’t you watch if you are only free on Feb 12? A ．Hi, Mom B ．Detective Chinatown 3.C ．Boonie Bears: Tire Wild Life.D ．My First Love is Eighteen Years Old . 3．Who are the target readers of the text?A ．The general public.B ．Movie experts.C ．College freshmen.D ．High school students.BOver the last decade, Grandpa Ron, as the students call him, has volunteered thousands of hours every year to be with local school children—but it wasn’t until classes moved online due to COVID -19 that Ron Jacobson realized his impact. That impact reached far deeper than being a school volunteer. And those students were now missing the hugs he gave them every mornings.Back in March 2020, Jacobson had already volunteered for 900 hours during the 2019-2020 school year by the time Cle Elum -Roslyn Elementary in Ronald, Washington, closed its doors and turned to online teaching.“These kids who relied on me being there for them had suddenly lost me,” Jacobson said. “When they started doing their schoolwork online, several said that they missed Grandpa Ron.”The school received so many requests for Grandpa Ron that it added Jacobson’s email address and home address to the school’s online directory (通讯录), allowing students to keep in touch with Jacobson. Students immediately began sending Jacobson emails and letters and even coming to his home to check up on him and offer to walk his dog.Jacobson now responds to each of the students, adding a bright spot to the students’ days and his own. “I am happy to listen to the kids’ problems as well,” Jacobson said. “I have heard from school teachers and parents how much this regular communication has changed the kids’ attitudes.The Veterans of Foreign Wars has honored Jacobson—a Vietnam veteran (老兵) —by naming him a此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号spokesman for their campaign, StillServing, which shows many ways America’s veterans continue serving even after leaving the army.“The Marine Corps taught me the two important things: finish the task and take care of your troops (军队). I’m still taking care of the troops,” Jacobson said.It’s just that they are 75 years younger than he is.4．How did the school react to the school kids’ requests?A．It sent Jacobson to visit them in person.B．It asked Jacobson to write to all of them.C．It showed every student’s email address.D．It offered Jacobson’s contact information.5．How did Jacobson feel about the online communication with the students?A．Pleased.B．Worried.C．Tired.D．Confused.6．Why was veteran Jacobson regarded a spokesman for StillServing?A．He still served in the army.B．He trained many volunteers.C．He continued to serve others.D．He encouraged kids to serve.7．What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?A．School teachers.B．Vietnam veterans.C．Local school kids.D．Young volunteers.CA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.8．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Not sticks and stones but words will hurt usB．Encouraging words give us confidenceC．Negative words may let us downD．Words have a great effect on us9．Why there is no need for us to feel ashamed when we talk to ourselves?A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves.B．Talking to ourselves can has positive effect on us.C．Talking to ourselves always gives us courage.D．It does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.10．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．Praise ourselves. B．Remind ourselvesC．Make ourselves relaxed. D．Give ourselves happiness11．What can we learn from the text?A．Encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers.B．Negative words may stimulate us to make more progress.C．People tend to remember friendly words.D．It is better to think twice before talking to others.DIf you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected thatChinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), will be the most important2language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient (自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because “without learning Chinese, we see with one eye”.My contact with many international organizations and government institutions made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time. After visiting the world’s most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.China is an important political and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization.12．What can we learn about languages in the future according to the first paragraph?A．Some of them will disappear.B．More official languages will be added to the UN.C．English will still have an advantage over others.D．Chinese language will probably be second to none.13．What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?A．Paris is a wonderful capital city worth a visit.B．Chinese learning is very popular in schools in London.C．People in some western countries like speaking Chinese.D．Chinese language is playing an important role in the world.14．What mainly causes Westerners to start learning Chinese according to the text?A．The rise of Chinese economy.B．Their love for language learning.C．Their curiosity about Asian culture.D．The long history of Chinese civilization.15．What could be the best title for the text?A．How to be a global citizenB．Chinese — the language you must learnC．What you should know about Chinese cultureD．Chinese economy—the most powerful engine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。
