She explained to him the operation of a camera for a long time. Several times the head tried to say something, but he couldn't.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.66. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C.

What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.70. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, .A. people usually have family partiesB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents’ homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable giftsDBeginning i n October, more than 13,000 McDonald’s (麦当劳)restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald' s aims to make its French fries (油炸食品) and other fried foods healthier.The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.McDonald's new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.For McDonald's ,the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity (肥胖) and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious (有营养的) food to consumers.After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers.Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important.71. More than 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new kind of cookingoil to ____.A. lower the costs of the productsB. maker its food taste hatter than ever beforeC. cure (治愈) the heart diseaseD. do good to the health of consumers72. The underlined ward "switching" here has the same meaning as " ".A. turning onB. turning offC. changingD. studying73.The main idea of the passage is .A. McDonald's is a pioneer in food productsB. McDonald's is enlarging its restaurants in the worldC. fried foods can’t keep up with the development of modem societyD. McDonald’s is to use new cooking oil74. When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald’s,A. the prices of McDonald’s foods will be a tot higherB. consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods differentC. many other food companies will do what McDonald's doesD. obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later75. Which of the following is TRUE according to tile passage?A. If a person's cholesterol is high, it won’t affect his health.B. Heart disease is connected with the contents (含量) of cholesterol.C.

The high price likely comes from the diamond’s unusual color as well as itsbrilliant setting. Bulgari is a company beloved by the Hollywood celebrities(名人), andblue diamonds are rarely up for sale. This particular blue diamond also happens to be alarge mass of ice a t 5. 3 carats.The diamond is a“fancy deep-blue(花式深蓝)”stone. According to Bonhams, less than1 percent of all diamonds mined are blue diamonds. “Blue diamonds, especially those over 5. 00 carats, are extremely rare to see on the market and continue to be highly sought-after, ”Jean Ghika, the director of Bonhams’European jewelry department, said in a statement. “We are honored to have handled the sale of such a unique precious stone. ”The previous record for the price of a diamond per carat was $1. 68 million, according to Bonhams.51.

Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.Half a century later, Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center of a church, helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of the 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C. to receive an award.“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow, ”said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart. ”People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families. “She reminded people of their Grandma, ” Doody said.As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She devoted her life to giving back, ”said her daughter, Monica Cooper. It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living in their car, ”Monica Cooper said.Although Mrs. Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward.

Haase says that the toilet tours are in demand, especially from clubs and societies, as well as from people with a specialist or professional interest in the topic.“At first people tend to turn their nose up, but then they are generally surprised at the interesting facts that they learn about on the tour, ”she said.In keeping with the tour’s theme, the meeting point is at the 19th century toilet block at t he Gendarmenmarkt square, while a restaurant called “The Loo” is the finishing point. There tourists are shown a Japanese automatic toilet which costs as much as a small car, according to Haase.59. What did Anna Haase mean by saying “I wanted to break a taboo”?A. She had to do her job well.B. She wanted to break the routine.C. She wanted to have a break.D. She was eager to work with other guides.60. What can be learnt from the text?A.

There are no enough toilets for tour groups in Berlin.61. Why is “The Loo” chosen as the finishing point of the tour?A. It’s a famous rest aurant.B. The toilet there has a long history.C.

Famous Guide—Anna HaaseD. Special Tour—Famous ToiletsDThe Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of M aitreya(弥勒大佛)in sitting posture. The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province, facing Min River, Qingyi River and Dadu River. In December, 1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage(世界遗产).The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year803. The Buddha is 71 meters high. The 8-meter-long instep(脚背)is big enough forone hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever. At that time, wildwaters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to thepresence of a water spirit. So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the riverthinking that the Buddha would bring th e water spirit under control. After 20 years’begging from door to door, he finally collected enough money for the plan. Whensome local government officials tried to get this amount of money, Hai Tong said thatthey could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha. After he dug out his eyeballs, these officials ran away scared. The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away, and two of his disciples(门徒)continued the work. After a total of 90 years’ hard work, the project was finally completed.Having such a long history, the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain. The Chinese government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instructions of experts from UNESCO.63. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. To explain the Leshan Giant Buddha briefly.B. To tell us how the Leshan Giant Buddha was built.C. To say where the Leshan Giant Buddha is.D. To mention how the Leshan Giant Buddha came into the World Heritage.64. How did Hai Tong get the money for the Buddha?A. By calling for donation.B. By working on the river.C. By asking the government.D. By selling his eyeballs.65. According to the passage, the Leshan Giant Buddha.A. was completed when Hai Tong was aliveB. didn’t exist nowC. played a good role in controlling the riverD. has been a World Heritage site for over ten years66. In this passage, Hai Tong can be best described as.A. generousB. cruelC. easy-goingD. long-sufferingESeventy-three-year-old Gary selected his food in Value Mart more carefully than NASA chose its candidates for the space shuttle. Skim milk was $2. 99, on sale from $3. 49; white bread, 89 cents with a discount; table salt, 99 cents, 20 cents off the regular price. Leaving the cashier(收银员), he estimated that he had saved 80 cents today. He was pleased that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the cold wind reminded him of his gloves. “Now where are they? ”Not in the coat pockets. Not in the grocery bag, either. The worried man made a thorough search of all his pockets, again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store.Old Gary had bought the black gloves at a 25% discount ten years ago. His quick decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good one, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as poorer passengers stared at him enviously. Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him.Gary re-entered the store with long steps. He followed the same route he had walked before. There were all open passages and it did not take long to be convinced that the gloves were not in sight.“Society has changed; people have changed, ”he murmured to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picke d up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more! ”On his way out, he went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves.

Researchers also showed that some products，such as olive oil，can fight against the risk of mental illness.Authors of the widereaching study，from the universities of Navarra and Las Palmas，followed and analyzed the diet and lifestyle of over 12,000 volunteers over six years.When the study began，none of the participants had been diagnosed with depression；by the end,657 of them were new sufferers.“Participants with an increased consumption of trans fats presented up to a 48 percent increase in the risk of depression when they were compared to participants who did not consume these fats，” the head study author said.“The more trans fats were consumed，the greater harmful effect they produced on the volunteers.”The research team found，at the same time，that after assessing the effect of polyunsaturated fats made up of larger amounts of fish and vegetable oils and olive oil，these products are associated with a lower risk of suffering depression.The report，published in the online journal PLOS ONE，noted the research was performed on a European population that enjoys a relatively low intake of trans fats—making up only 0.4 percent of the total ene rgy taken in by the volunteers.“Despite this，we observed an increase in the risk of suffering depression of nearly 50 percent，”said researcher Miguel Martinez.“On this basis we think it of great importance to take this effect into account in countries like the United States，where the percentage of energy derived from these fats is around 2.5 percent.”The report pointed out that the current number of depression sufferers in the world is around 150 million people，and has increased in recent years.This rise is attributable，according to the authors，to great changes in the sources of fats consumed in Western diets，where we have replaced certain types of beneficial fats in nuts，vegetable oils and fish with the saturated and trans fats found in meats，butter and other products such as mass produced cakes and fast food. 1．What's the best title of the text?A．Junk Food and DepressionB．Depression PreventionC．Types of Fats and DepressionD．Depression Research2．Which of the following increases the risk of suffering depression?A．Fish.

No one has a temper naturally so good, that it does not need attention and cultivation, and no one has a temper so bad, but that, by proper culture, it may become pleasant. One of the best disciplined tempers ever seen, was that of a gentleman who was naturally quick, irritable, rash, and violent; but, by taking care of the sick, and especially of mentally deranged(疯狂的) people, he so completely mastered himself that he was never known to be thrown off his guard.There is no misery so constant, so upsetting, and so intolerable to others, as that of having a character which is your master. There are corners at every turn in life, against which we may run, and at which we may break out in impatience, if we choose.Look at Roger Sherman, who rose from a humble occupation to a seat in the first Congress of the United States, and whose judgment was received with great respect by that body of distinguished men. He made himself master of his temper and cultivated it as a great business in life. There are one or two instances which show this part of his character in a light that is beautiful.One day, after having received his highest honors, he was sitting and reading in his sitting room. A student, in a room close by, held a looking-glass in such a position as to pour the reflected rays of the sun directly in Mr Sherman's face. He moved his chair, and the thing was repeated. A third time the chair was moved, but the looking-glass still reflected the sun in his eyes. He laid aside his book, went to the window, and many witnesses of the rude behavior expected to see the ungentlemanly student severely punished. He raised the window gently, and then—shut the window blind!I can not help providing another instance of the power he had acquired over himself. He was naturally possessed of strong passions, but over these he at length obtained an extraordinary control. He became habitually calm and self-possessed. Mr Sherman was one of those men who are not ashamed to maintain the forms of religion in their families. One morning he called them all together as usual to lead them in prayer to God. The “old family Bible” was brought out and laid on the table.Mr Sherman took his seat and placed beside him one of his children, a child of his old age. The rest of the family were seated around the room, several of whom were now grown-ups. Besides these, some of the tutors of the college were boarders in the family and were present at the time. His aged mother occupied a corner of the room, opposite the place where the distinguished Judge sat.At length, he opened the Bible and began to read. The child who was seated beside him made some little disturbance, upon which Mr Sherman paused and told it to be still. Again he continued but again he had to pause to scold the little offender, whose playful character would scarcely permit it to be still. At this time he gently tapped its ear. The blow, if blow it might be called, caught the attention of his aged mother, who now with some effort rose from the seat and tottered across the room. At length, she reached the chair of Mr Sherman, and in a moment, most unexpectedly to him, she gave him a blow on the ear with all the force she could gather. “There，” said she, “you strike your child, and I will strike mine.”For_a_moment,_the_blood_was_seen_mounting_to_the_face_of_Mr_Sherman. But it was only for a moment and all was calm and mild as usual. He paused; he raised his glasses; he cast his eye upon his mother; again it fell upon the book from which he had been reading. Not a word escaped him; but again hecalmly pursued the service, and soon sought in prayer an ability to set an example before his household which should be worthy of their imitation. Such a victory was worth more than the proudest one ever achieved on the field of battle.65. The following sentence should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ________．The difference in the happiness which is received by the man who governs his temper and that by the man who does not is dramatic.A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five66. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By analyzing reasons.B. By giving examples.C. By listing arguments.D. By comparing facts.67. What was Roger Sherman's attitude towards his aged mother?A. Grateful.B. Skeptical.C. Tolerant.D. Sympathetic.68. What can we learn about Roger Sherman?A. He came from a distinguished family background.B. He was not good at displaying his true inner feelings.C. He severely punished a student who didn't behave himself.D. He was a man conscious of the consequences of his behavior.69. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Mr Sherman's face was covered with blood.B. Mr Sherman was seeking strength in prayer.C. Mr Sherman was then on the point of exploding.D. Mr Sherman was ashamed of his mother's rude behavior.70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Control your temperB. Save your self-esteemC. Mind your mannersD. Treasure your Bible参考答案：65. A 66. B 67. C 68. D 69. C 70. A【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章通过Sherman对学生和自己母亲控制脾气的例子，说明了培养脾气的重要性，不能控制脾气的危害与痛苦。

高一上学期第八次周练英语试题阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AI’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard(果园)，looking up at the branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother’s apple pie，and how I used to make it with her.She died last year，before the apple harvest，and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about，visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes.Above me，big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind.School starts in another week，and time seems to have slowed down.“Sophie！”calls my grandfather.“Is that you？”I stand up，take his hand，and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples，and bees，and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too.He puts his rough，brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close.“You know，Sophie，”he says，“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼)，and you’ll never guess what I found.It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone，but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us，we can work it out.Want to try？”“But it won’t be the same without Grandma，” I tell him.“That’s true，”he says，“but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still，I don’t think that she would wa nt us never to have another apple pie.What do you say？” I nod yes，and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen，making Grandma’s famous apple pie.1．We learn from the passage that Sophie .A．likes to watch clouds in the atticB．comes to the orchard after schoolC．enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very muchD．picks many apples in the orchard2．Sophie’s grandfather spent the morning in the attic.A．looking for Grandma’s recipe for apple pieB．helping Sophie’s grandmother make apple pieC．trying to make apple pie all alone for SophieD．talking about apples，and bees，and Grandma with Sophie3．The underlined part in the last paragraph shows .A．how much Sophie’s grandmother loved SophieB．how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pie sC．how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchardD．how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma4．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．My grandfather’s orchardB．My grandmother’s apple pieC．A morning in the atticD．The last days of summerBDo you want a bit of an adventure？Would you like to discover all the cornersof the UK，or travel abroad？Maybe you have never tried the motorhome(旅宿车) lifestyle before.Well，read this article and you will know why a motorhome is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motorhome.It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle(交通工具) and it is also very comfortable.If you are thinking about hiring a motorhome this summer，then the best advice is to book it early，especially if you are considering the school holidays.The motorhome hire service is very seasonal and motorhome hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK，and some of the big ones have motorhomes spread all over the country.At present，the largest network for motorhome hire is provided by Motorhome which is based in Cambridge.If you are in the UK，you may phone 0800 612 8719 for details of its motorhome hire information.Motorholme has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England，Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motorhome are families that are looking for an alternative(替代品) to a European package holiday，especially as flying now has become more expensive，and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly.There is no doubt that the idea of no fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly.This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motorhome for their holidays.5．This passage is written to explain why it is a good idea to .A．take an adventureB．travel to EnglandC．try a new lifestyleD．hire a motorhome6．What does the underlined word“versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Large and comfortable.B．Fast and exciting.C．Having a lot of uses.D．Having a lot of fun.7．Why should you book a motorhome early if you want to book one for this summer?A．Because booking early is much cheaper.B．Because summer is usually a very busy season.C．Because you can arrange your time better this way.D．Because students usually book them to earn money.8．The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motorhome by .A．telling us a storyB．giving detailed dataC．comparing it with flyingD．showing the results of a studyCEveryone has probably seen a movie or two about robots going against man.As a kid it was interesting，but not a reality.But today，when we look at how far scientists have come，it’s not just a funny thought but a real possibility.Honda has already created a robot with eyes，legs，arms and hands and it can act just like aerson.There_is_no_end_to_what_a_robot_could_do_in_the_future.Just think what we can do in twenty to thirty years.We’re dealing with almost an entire new species of humanlike robots that could be cleverer than us.Can we continue to use these robots in a way that they serve us，or will they become so wise that they will want independence?I am really not sure just how far scientists are going to perfect robots.Butonce this type of robot is made，they will be able to think，make decisions，sense the movement of others and decide what it wants to do.A new invention has led to the introduction of a female robot，which was introduced at an entertainment show in Vegas.The robot called Roxy sells for between seven and ten thousand dollars.It is built to accompany(陪伴)females.This female robot

help them expand their field of view，especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.Travelling，in my opinion，does more good than harm.Most importantly，it broadens(使扩大)our mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明)，cultures，customs and ideas.Through history，most people travelled because of necessity(必要性)－not for pleasure.People travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for fun of it.In ancient times，for example，rich Romans travelled all the ways to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games，and festivals.Of course，some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心).They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线).Also business travel has been going on for centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.So，travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much from it.13．The underlined word“expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“”.A．widen
