His mom explained that sharing with those who were less fortunate was part of the holiday spirit and how a child who had less would be very happy to receive a gift.The day after Christmas Mike agreed to part with one of his gifts—a flute (笛子)．“How will they know it is for a child？”he asked. His mother told him that he could attach a note to the flute and she helped him write one that read，“Please make sure this gets to a kid who doesn’t have toys.”On his tenth Christmas Mike looked over his three inexpensive gifts. His mother told him this year he didn’t have to part with a gift. He told her he wanted to. She gave him a big hug with tears in her eyes.The gift giving tradition continued into adulthood. Mike had not missed a Christmas in over 30 years. One Christmas Mike’s own 5­year­old boy asked，“What was the best gift you got for Christmas when you were a kid？”He explained to his son that the best gift he ever received didn’t come in a box，and you couldn’t even hold it in your hand. Just imagine the happy looks on the faces of the children as they open the gifts you sent them.The following day when Mike was getting ready for the drive to the donation box，his son came running out with a new toy in his hands. “Dad，I want to part with the toy；can you help me write a note？”Material gifts can be precious but the greatest gifts that we can give to children can’t be purchased at the mall. We should let children learn to share and help others in need.56．From Paragraph 1 we can learn that______.A．Mike was a very selfish boyB．Mike was from a rich familyC．Mike didn’t understand the spirit of ChristmasD．donat ing Christmas gifts was a tradition in Mike’s country57．Mike attached a note to the flute to______.A．let others know his good deedB．make sure it was given to a kidC．teach the receiver how to use the fluteD．hope the receiver would pay him back in the future58．What can we infer from the passage?A．Most children don’t have a gift on Christmas DayB．Mike didn’t stop donating gifts until he was in his thirtiesC．The best gift Mike ever received was the joy of helping othersD．Mike’s son was too young to u nderstand the meaning of sharingBSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road--- Reported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.Millions of animals die each year on U. S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill."Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can escape being killed," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage.Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals such as grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!59. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that ______.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents60. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _______.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a pass for animals to cross the road61. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means _______.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesC. animals are crossing the road in groupsD. animals are increasing in number62. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ________.A. wild animals may attack carsB. wild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. they may see wild animals on ecopassagesCA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’ s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% ofrainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.63．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they________.A. reflect more heat into the atmosphereB. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldC. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth64．What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.65．It can be inferred from the text that________.A. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential（潜力） in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsDOnce there was a young woman who didn’t like her job .Everyday when she came home from work，she told her husband how terrible her day had been，how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Lea ve that job，” her husband told her.“Oh，I will，” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her. “Oh，I will，”she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can’t just yet.”I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on a porch （走廊） of a store，moanin g and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh，” answered the man，“He’s lying on a nail.” “Well，why doesn’t he move？”“Because it’s not hurting him bad enough.”That’s true for people，too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But we’re wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self­esteem（自尊），kills our passion or destroys our dreams.Wilbur Wright once commented，“We could hardly wait to get up in the morning.I know that exhilarating（令人愉快的） feeling of being so passionate（热情的） about something I was working on that I couldn’t wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion，too.”They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don’t change as they sometimes will，they refuse to let environment hijack（抢劫；掠夺）their self­esteem，passion or dreams.66．The woman complained to her husband every day because ________.A．she didn’t have enough money to support her familyB．her boss criticized her for what she had doneC．she was not satisfied with her job at allD．her work was difficult and her boss was cruel67．From the second paragraph we can know that the woman ________.A．liked making friends with others B．loved all of her children very much C．left her tiring job at last D．did exactly the same job all along68．The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that ________.A．it was deeply hurt by its owner B．the woman is like the dog on the nailC．it is tied firmly to a nail by its owner D．it should be injured badly enough 69．The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means ________.A．lasting B．slight C．serious D．hard 70．People who are getting along well with their work ________.A．have to get up early every day B．are not willing to go to work C．need more unique gifts and talents D．are likely to change with the situationForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue(美德), but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly good to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.___71____ Try the following steps :Calm yourself. ___72___. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. ___73___. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt, give power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.___74___ If you understand your offender (冒犯者), you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. ___75___ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from you offen der’s angle (角度).E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.※注意：该题如果选E，请涂黑AB；如果选F，请涂黑AC；如果选G，请涂黑AD【答案纸上选择题部分要从第21题开始涂起】第四部分：书面表达（共两小题，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中有10处语言错误。

内蒙古鄂尔多斯市东联现代中学高一七选五专题英语测试(附答案)As a senior high student, here are five things you should know before you start college.1. Every college has different rules on what you can bring.____1____ Rules vary from school to school, and you may want to hold off on buying that mini-fridge/ microwave until you make sure you can have them in your dorm.2. You might not like your roommate.For your new term, you’ll have a picked roommate. ____2____ This can be uncomfortable, but remember that with classes, you probabl y won’t be in your room anyway.3. There are tons of things to do.The last thing anyone should be worried about is being bored on campus. ____3____ They’re not hard to find, either. There are often posters all around campus for things to do and clubs to join. Some clubs even have their own social media sites, which could help you learn about the clubs. 4. ____4____In order to make sure you can graduate on time without any difficulty, it’s a good idea to decide on your courses early. But keep in mind that your plan won’t be written in stone. Many students change their majors at least once during their time in college, and this is a good thing.5. You can get good grades and have fun.A common fear when starting college is that there will be time for either studying or having fun, but not both. The truth is that with good time management it is possible to get good grades in all your classes and still have time to be in clubs and go have fun. ____5____A．Figure out when you will graduate.B．Plan out your academic career early.C．Food is an important part of the campus experience.D．Almost every college has a host of student clubs and organizations.E．If you manage your schedule well, you may even get enough sleep, too.F．You’d better check whether you can bring your items before you move in.G．While it’s possible that you will be the best friends, you might not get along.More Than Just FoodThere are a few ways in which Chinese restaurants are different from Western restaurants. Consider how Westerners go about eating at restaurants. Everyone always gets their own menu and orders their own food. ____6____ , it is quite difficult to talk to — or even see — more than a few people during the meal.____7____ . Usually, everyone sits at large and round tables where it is easy to see and talk with each other, even if it is a rather large group. One person orders the food for everyone , after considering the likes and dislikes of the other people in the group. ____8____ . Everyone then serves themselves by taking a small bit of food and putting it on their own plates.Just as in the West, people can choose what they want to eat. However, while in the West, importance is placed on the individual and having one’s own preferences, in China importance is placed on sharing and community. Instead of seeing themselves as individuals first, and part of the group second, Chinese people generally see themselves as part of the group first and individuals second. ____9____ .Finally, since people are seated at a round table, everyone is treated equally. ____10____ . However, respect is still shown to older people or people of higher status, as they always sit at the far end of the room facing the door.A．China has many different styles of foodB．And, since the tables are usually smallC．No one is given greater importance over anotherD．You should make an effort to enjoy Chinese foodE．Everyone still gets what they want, but it is a shared experienceF．Then, when the food comes, all of it is put in the middle of the tableG．However, the traditional Chinese restaurant experience is quite differentSymptoms of Dehydration (脱水)You’re bad-tempered.Researchers tested the mood and concentration of 25 women who drank healthy amounts of water one day, and then less the next two days. When slightly dehydrated, the women reported tiredness, bad temper, headaches and difficulty in focusing. In a separate test, men with mild dehydration also had trouble with mental tasks. ____11____ Scientists are still trying to figure out why.You have a bad workout.____12____ It impacts how much you can push yourself. Even a 2 to 3 percent fluid loss affects your ability to get a good workout and more than 5 percent dehydration decreases exercise capacity by about 30 percent.____13____Driving while you’re dehydrated may be just as dangerous as getting behind the wheel drunk, in terms of how many mistakes you could make on the road. British researchers had participants take 2-hour drives using a simulator (模拟器). When they drank enough water, there were 47 driving errors. ____14____You feel dizzy when you stand up too fast.Dehydration can make you feel dizzy or faint, or bring on that rush of light-headedness after you quickly get up from sitting or lying down.The exact treatment for dehydration symptoms depends on age and how severely dehydrated someone is. ____15____ Most of the time, however, people use some over-the-counter solutions for kids, and adults can drink more water.A．You drive like you’re drunk.B．Sometimes dehydration can be life-threatening.C．To get rid of dehydration you have to drink much water quickly.D．In extreme cases, people might go to the hospital for a treatment.E．Dehydration reduces blood pressure and makes the heart work harder.F．But when it came to mood changes, women changed much more than men.G．But when they were short of water, there were more than double the driving errors to 101. Some healthy people have flat abs (腹肌) and thin bodies. ____16____ In fact, the official definition of health—at least, the one used by the World Health Organization (WHO)—saysnothing about the way you look. WHO says health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” ____17____You eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. ____18____ “It sounds really silly, but it’s amazing how many of us don’t do that,” Dr. Cindy Geyer, member of the True Health Initiative and medical director at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Massachusetts, told INSIDER. “We forget to eat so we’re starving and then we eat a ton, or we’re eating mindlessly in front of the TV, or we’re eating in an emotional context because it’s how we re self-soothing. A healthy relationship with food is trusting your internal cues, not external ones, to decide what and ho w much to eat,” she said. “I encourage clients to eat until they’re satisfied, but not stuffed.”____19____ A diverse diet ensures that you’re more likely to get all the vitamins and nutrients you need, she explained. This is even more true if the diet is rich in whole foods (天然食品), which tend to be more nutrient-dense than processed stuff.You’re eating enough. Remember, calories aren’t your enemy or some evil force to be reduced at all costs. ____20____ And if you’re not eating enough of them, you could e nd up feeling moody, weak, achy, and more.A．How can you tell if you fit that definition?B．You’re eating a varied diet rich in whole foods.C．They give special attention to the way they live.D．This simple behavior is a typical feature of healthy eating.E．But that doesn’t mean these qualities are necessary for good health.F．A healthy relationship with food contributes greatly to good health.G．They’re an energy source that helps you live your life and do what you love.With the rapid development of tec hnology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____21____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____22____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____23____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____24____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____25____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example. So please give yourself a little more time to stop and smell the roses fro m no w on. Let’s be positive about life, love life, and embrace life!A．So procrastination can’t be avoided.B．After all, there is a limit to humans’ abi lity.C．From m y point of vie w, this statement is one-sided.D．Next, the fast pace of life brings great pressure to people.E．Finally, the slow pace of life offers people more free time.F．Imagine how pleasant it would be to enjoy a nice slow life.G．In my opinion, we should calm down and slow our life downBe Slightly FunnierHow would you feel if a colleague suggested you take a comedy class to improve your sense of humor? I felt embarrassed.At home that evening, I asked my other half whether he thinks I'm funny. ___26___ . "Of course you are," they all ensured me. What else could they say? And anyway, I'd already made up my mind. Some people just aren't funny, and I'm one of them.Yet, according to Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas-authors of the book Humor, Seriously and experts on the subject, humor is not something you are born with or without. ___27___ . What's more, finding our funny sides makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens relationships, unlocks creativity and makes us more likable. It helps in any life situation.This undoubtedly explains why future masters of the universe are eagerly signing up for the humor course Aaker and Bagdonas teach at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. They agreed to teach me how to find my funny bones, too.___28___ . As you would hope, they are very amusing. They begin by sending me a questionnaire about what I find funny, what I don't, and how I attempt to make others laugh. The results will apparently reveal my humor type.In our first call, Aaker, a social psychologist (心理学家), explains that many of us leave humor behind when we arrive at adulthood: A four-year-old laughs up to 300 times a day. ___29___ . Next, we discuss the common misunderstandings that stop many of us in our comedy tracks. The first, Aaker says, is the belief that humor has no place in certain situations, especially at work.___30___ . However, 98 percent of top executives say they prefer employees with a sense of humor and 84 percent of bosses believe those employees do better work.A．Rather, it's a muscle you can strengthenB．Then there is the idea that it is too riskyC．We worry about not being taken seriouslyD．My first interaction with the pair is over e-mailE．Then I texted my best friend and my sister-in-lawF．But a 40-year-old takes ten weeks to laugh as muchG．It is far more important to show you have a sense of humorThe Secrets of SleepHave you ever wondered why you spend so much of your life asleep? Just as electricity charges the battery of a mobile phone, sleep recharges your body and your mind.What is sleep?___31___It is brought on by your “body clock”—a system inside your brain that helps you sleep at night and wake up in the morning. Even though you are not aware of your surroundings when you sleep, your brain remains active.Why do people need to sleep?Humans could not function without sleep. According to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, sleep helps people learn by strengthening their memories. It has physical benefits too—like maintaining a healthy weight and boosting your immune system.___32___ Your brain becomes foggy, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. That’s why you may be told to “sleep on”—a choice you’re uncertain about.What are dreams?Dreams usually occur during a stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. In REM, the eyes move quickly back and forth and brain activity increases. Scientists are not sure why people dream. ___33___ Others say it helps people process emotions. Everybody dreams for around two hours a night but not everyone can remember them.How much sleep do I need?Most adults need around eight hours of sleep a day, but Mandy Gurney, who runs the Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic, says that children need more.___34___ “An eig ht-year-old requires around 10 to 10-and-a-half hours of sleep each night, dropping to around nine hours a night in your teen years.” A good night’s sleep will get your day off to a great start. As Mahatma Gandhi, who was an Indian politician and activist, is quoted as saying, “___35___”A．When I wake up, I am reborn.B．I really think I need more sleep than now.C．Sleep is a natural and temporary state of rest.D．Some say it is a process that helps store memories.E．Too little sleep can make you tired and bad-tempered.F．You become healthier and thus diseases will not bother you.G．Sleep is more vital for children because their minds and bodies are still developing.Grieve Her Mum Through CookingGrief and mourning can be expressed in many ways. ____36____. She found comfort through cooking her mother’s recipes in a planner and in turn, learned about her mother. Her attitude to life was mirrored in her cooking.Along with the love of food and family, her mother, and her grandmother before her, had passed down a carved wooden spoon. It was given from one to the next. ____37____. She inherited this spoon and the passion her mother had.After her mother’s death, Debbie also found the planner containing these detailed dinner party plans and recipes. Her mother was not gone. ____38____. And Debbie has learned a lot about her since she began cooking her food.____39____. In trying to make out her mother’s notes, Debbie has bonded again with her father in shared grief and understanding. Asking Dad who is who, what is what and learning and understanding, Debbie has been able to see a new side of her mother.Everything Debbie is cooking is inherited, as is the joy and sense of achievement she feels. When she began cooking with her mother as a kid, she was in charge of turning the toast, to stop it catching. Now she is holding the spoon, adding the spices and still looking up from the stove to her mum. ____40____.A．It was never easy to lose someone we loveB．She was guiding her through a lifetime of foodC．When it reached Debbie, it was worn and perfectD．She felt a sense of achievement in cooking her foodE．She is always going to be her mother’s kitchen followerF．Debbie found a new and unique way to mourn her mumG．However, she was left with some confusion at some recipesGroup discussions are a great way to get things done. You can explore a topic, come up with a plan of action, or solve an issue, just to name a few. ____41____ Don’t worry. Here are some tips for you.Allow everyone to introduce themselves. To start a group discussion, you will want to make sure everyone is comfortable. A good way to break the ice is to let everyone introduce themselves. Then, for a classroom setting, what could be a better icebreaker activity? ____42____ Establish some ground rules. Before launching into the discussion, make sure everyone knows the rules of conduct. Rules can be established as needed. Here are some general ones. Advise everyone to treat one another with respect. ____43____ Remind everyone to be aware of time.

东联现代中学2018—2019学年第一学期高一年级第一次月考英语第I卷第一部分：阅读理解（共三节，满分70分）第一节：阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项（每题2分，满分30分）。

A1. You have an art class on ______.A. MondayB. TuesdayC. WednesdayD. Thursday2. You have ______ Chinese classes every week.A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 63. How long will you rest for lunch-time?________A. 60 minutesB. 70 minutesC. 80 minutesD. 90 minutesBThe English language has a lot of words which can be used in many different ways and in many different expressions.One such example is the word matter. In fact, matter can mean just about anything. It could be one of the most useful words in the English language.Let's get to the heart of the matter — a matter of principle (原则).If someone says that you owe (欠) him $50, but you don't, a friend might say, “Well, you could pay him the $50. It's not that much money. Then you won't have to hear him say it anymore.” But if you do not owe him the money, do not pay him the money. It's a matter of principle.There is another way to use the word matter. But be careful with your choice of words.If you ask someone, “What's the matter?”, it shows you are worried about the othe r person. But saying, “What's the matter with you?” has a completely different meaning. And it usually sounds rude (粗鲁的). In fact, when you say, “What's the matter with you?”, you are suggesting that the person did something wrong or stupid.Another expre ssion that could sound rude is to say, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it depends on the context, and how you say it.Let's say you tell someone that a friend just got a big raise at work. That person answers with, “It doesn't matter to me.” Here, it mean s he or she does not care. And it sounds rude.But saying, “Oh, you pick where we eat dinner. It doesn't matter to me.” does not sound rude. In this situation, “it doesn't matter” shows you are easy-going (随和的).No matter how you look at it and what you say, matter is a very useful word. And it's only a matter of time before you will become an expert on the use of matter.4. We can infer from the text that the word matter _____.A. has a wide useB. can mean moneyC. is the most used English wordD. has the most different expressions5. What is the author's suggestion in Paragraph 4?A. Every penny counts.B. Stick to what is right.C. Follow your friend's advice.D. Be careful when making friends.6. The underlined word “context” in the text probably mea ns _____.A. choiceB. personC. situationD. answer7. The author develops the text mainly by _____.A. using examplesB. giving instructionsC. describing his experiencesD. discussing research findingsCAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!8. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.10. The un derlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time11. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsDWe are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories.But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?12. “To be familiar with” means to ______.A. know nothingB. know aboutC. dislikeD. like13. Does everyone think computers are good for children?A. Yes, they do.B. No, not everyone thinks so.C. They don’t know.D. They are not sure.14. What can computers help children to do?A. To think clearly, to do homework and to write.B. To play games, to do math and to copy.C. To think clearly, to get information and to use it well.D. To count, to clean the house and to get information.15. Does the writer think computer is a good thing?A. It isn’t mentioned.B. No, he doesn’t think so.C. He doesn’t know.D. Yes, he does.第二节：根据短文内容，从选项中选出最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项（每题2分，满分10分）。

第Ⅰ卷阅读题一、现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成l～3题。

人类是唯一会脸红的动物徐风人类是唯一会脸红的动物，达尔文把这一行为称作“最独特和最具人类特征的表情”。

达尔文早在研究进化论时就已注意到这个问题了。

他发现，不论是哪个国家、哪个民族的人，在感到难为情时都会面红耳赤，而包括一些灵长类在内的高级动物却不会出现脸红。

达尔文解释不了这种奇怪的现象。

著名生物学家、美国埃默里大学的弗朗斯•德瓦尔教授也把脸红描述为“进化史上最大的鸿沟”之一。

他说：“我们是唯一对尴尬情境或者谎言被揭穿时脸会变红的灵长类动物。

”可是，为什么我们需要这种表达内心情感的信号呢？科学家经过研究发现，脸红是由人的大脑决定的。

当遇到特殊刺激时，人们通过眼睛、耳朵等感受器官把刺激信号传给大脑皮质，而大脑皮质的一个重要的作用就是刺激肾上腺，而肾上腺受到刺激，就会分泌出肾上腺素。

肾上腺素在体内由酪氨酸转变而来，它的作用特点是，少量分泌时能够使血管扩张，尤其引起脸部的皮下小血管扩张；可是大量分泌肾上腺素的时候，反而会使血管收缩。

当外界刺激比如害羞等信号传入大脑的时候会分泌少量肾上腺素，就引起面部血管扩张，血流增加，血的颜色是红的，所以容易引起心理性脸红。

科学家认为，如果用“险恶、野蛮和无礼”来描述人类早期社会是正确的话，那么冒犯是可能导致暴力冲突的。

结果，人类就发展出了表达歉意的方法，以告诉别人他们为自己所做的事而感到后悔。

想想你们家那条狗的表现，当它在你的院子里刨坑被你发现时，它就在地上打滚。

你的狗躺在地上向你展示它的肚子，告诉你它不想在此时挑战你的愤怒——这是痛悔的表示。

对大多数人来说，很难对一条在地上翻滚的狗继续保持愤怒。
