My mom warned me several times never to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a typical boy， however， I soon found myself hiking further and further away, testing just how far I could go into the woods without getting lost。

After losing my way once for two hours， though， I decided that I had better leave a trail the next time I went for a walk。

The very next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods until the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small branch on a young tree to mark my place. I wandered further in and broke another limb and then another. In a few spots where there were no limbs small enough， I snapped the heads off the low plants that were growing where the sunlight broke through the trees. After a while I finally got tired and decided to head back. Turning around I easily found my tracks, but instead of being proud I felt sad. I could see the trail of destruction I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken limbs and dead flowers I wondered if God was disappointed in me and I vowed never to do that again。

AToo much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to lear n and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVsA second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year–olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人）may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. 1．According to the California study, the low-scoring group might _________.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be intersected in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have had computers in their bedrooms2．What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain. 3．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done4．What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning Habits5．What does the word “accumulating” in the last paragraph m ean?A. withdrawB. underlineC. increaseD. tolerateBYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked his name."J.C., "he replied.She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners."It was all right with me, "he said years later. "I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs."Sure, it bothered me, "he said later. "But at least it was an honest living.I had to eat."In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. "They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said. "Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."11. Owens got his other name "Jesse" when ________.A. he went to Ohio State UniversityB. his teacher made fun of himC. his teacher took "J.

AOne day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate(adj.拼死的) efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted(adj.精疲力竭的) was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.1. The ant could not reach the side though _______.A. she cried for helpB. she asked the dove to save herC. she tried very hardD. she could smell well2. The dove saved the ant because _______.A. she was the ant's friendB. she took pity on the poor antC. the ant was almost exhaustedD. the ant had been struggled in the water for a long time3. The ant succeeded in getting on the bank with the help of _______.A. a leafB. a piece of woodC. a blade of grassD. a raft4. Just as the man shot at the dove, _______.A. the dove immediately flew awayB. the dove hid himself in the grassC. the ant told the dove to leave at onceD. he felt something biting him in the foot5. In writing the story, the writer wants to show _______.A. how clever the ant wasB. how kind the dove wasC. how the ant and the dove helped each otherD. we often need help from others, therefore we should help others as much as we canBOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra (额外的) pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!______ — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!6. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.A. give him or her some adviceB. just listen unless askedC. calm him or her downD. share your feelings as well7. When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.A. try to do everything for themB. put them before ourselvesC. change their bad habits firstD. ignore their faults8 What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?A. Life without a friend is death.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. A man is known by his friends.9. Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph?A. Make plans.B. Enjoy yourself.C. Understand your friends.D. Play with your friends.10. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to find a good friend.B. How to help friends in trouble.C. How to be a good friend.D. How to make more friends.CThe day before yesterday, when Peter’s family were having dinner, Father raised an interesting question, “Was there anything in our past that we feel ashamed of, guilty about, or regretted? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry, or take some action to right any wrong doing.” This seemed like a very private matter, but Peter thought about it carefully the whole night.Peter remembered an incident from middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone, who none of the kids liked. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found a can of red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The next day, the whole school saw these words. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his two classmates in his office. His classmates said that they had done it but Peter lied, denying the truth. No one ever talked about it.This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. “Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it.” “I knew it!’ Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a lively discussion. Neil’s closing words were: “Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their mind, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me… for your sake.”Peter knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.11．What did Peter remember doing in middle school?A. Something fantastic.B. Something unpleasant.C. Something valuable.D. Something useful.12．What colou r were the words “Neil Stone is a fool!”?A. Dark blue.B. Light green.C. Pure white.D.

This morning.D. Not until Peter told him.15．What is the best title for this passage?A. Peter’s story.B. An unforgettable lesson.C. It’s never too late.D.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.【1】During REM, _______.A．you move restlessly B．you start dreamingC．your mind stops working D．your eyeballs move quickly【2】The underlined word “drowsy” in the last paragraph probably means______.A．lazy B．sleepyC．relaxed D．pleased【3】One of the ways to fall asleep easily is to _______________.A．breathe slowly and deeply B．drink cold drinksC．get up and run D．look for some sheep2.There are many international organizations which work to save and protect endangered species (物种) and natural environment.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.【1】This passage is most likely to be found in _____.A．a travel guide B．a newspaperC．a textbook D．a novel【2】The crocodile attacked Ms Pethrick when she was ______.A．swimming in the river B．standing on the river bankC．watching the crocodile D．fishing in the water【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE about Ms Pethrick?A．Her eyes were badly poked.B．She had eight wounds altogether.C．One of her fingers also got hurt.D．One of the crocodile’s teeth was found in her leg.【4】According to the passage, Norm Pethrick can be described as following EXCEPT ______.A．brave B．diligent C．quick D．humorous4.Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, w ho one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?“To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the 10 strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take.

You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer.”“That‟s true.” The businessman said. “What do you want we should do?” “If you don‟t know the answer to a riddle, you pay me $100.

But some children don‟t like to complete the work. Why? There are some reasons.Some children feel it is very difficult to do their homework, because they can‟t understand their teacher clearly, and can‟t follow their teacher‟s teaching process. Maybe there is something wrong with their intelligence.But some children‟s intelligence is normal. They are even cleverer, but they don‟t listen to the teacher carefully. It is hard for them to sit well and pay attention to anything. It needs to carry on the attention centralized（集中注意力）training to help the children.Some children love their teacher and then they like the subject. Their interest depends on the teacher who teaches them. So every teacher should be helpful and kind. It can make children love you and the subject you teach. So they can do their homeworkhappily.8．Doing homework can help children ___________.A．master the knowledge B．train their abilitiesC．lean new lessons D．Both A and B9．Some children find the homework difficult. Which reason is NOT right? A．They can‟t understand their teacher clearly.B．They can‟t follow their teacher‟s teaching process.C．The intelligence of all the students isn‟t normal.D．They don‟t listen to the teache r carefully.10．What‟s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “intelligence”?A．作业B．智商C．思想D．方式11．According to the last paragraph, the writer thinks ________ is very important.

She replied, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I‟m getting one!” We became friends quickly. At the end of the term I invi ted Rose to make a speech to our football team. I‟ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some secrets of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn‟t need any talent or ability. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”At the end of the year, Rose finished her college. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. We would always remember the great woman.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Ratu liked to play games and make people angry. The game he liked best was to fly down into the sea and frighten all the fishes. The fishes became very tired of his game. They asked Hemi, the God of the sea, to help them.So Hemi tried to catch Ratu the next time he flew into the sea, but he was too slow. Ratu laughed at Hemi as he flew past him. This made Hemi angry and he had an idea. He asked the fishes to bring him a lot of seaweed. Hemi tied it all together and made a large net from it. Soon Ratu flew down and Hemi threw the net over him. Ratu fought and fought but could not get free. He was caught.Ratu promised never to frighten fishes again if Hemi would set him free. But Hemi did not believe him. Instead, he changed Ratu into a mountain in the sea. Ratu was so angry that when he opened his mouth to shout at Hemi, fire and smoke broke out.

I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing."Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I’ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “ Would you me nd this chair for me?”. “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.46. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair47. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means _____.A. plan for dealing with thingsB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing thingsD. way of doing things48.

How much did the writer pay?A. ￡5.B. ￡7.C. ￡20.D. ￡27.50. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _____.A. honestB. carefulC. smartD. funny第Ⅱ卷非选择题(共35分)五.根据句意及汉语提示写出下列单词。

2015---2016 学年第一学期第一次阶段考试（辅导班）英语命题人：高鸿审题人：李建班级姓名第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15题：每小题2分，总分30分）AIt was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.1.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?A. 1952B. 1972C. 1962D. 19822. What does the underlined word “It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The Man Who Shot Liberty ValanceB. The theater.C. The Music ManD. The heat3.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?A. He loved children very much.B. He was a movie star.C. He sold air conditioners.D. He was a fan of John Wayne.4.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?A. The two movies were really wonderful.B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.C. The manager of the theater was friendly.D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.BHave you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milk Way? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye. They would have to sleep for years.European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flightto distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don't age. They have now moved on to small, non-hibernating mammals like rats.A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex."It's like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy's University of Pavia.Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person's metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system.There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter. Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter's moon (木星的卫星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.5. European researchers are conducting hibernation experiments to ________.A. ensure astronauts to get a complete sleepB. find the secret of some creaturesC. make preparations for the journey to Jupiter’s moon CallistoD. know if man can sleep for years6. The sentence “What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely” means ______.A. Science fiction is people’s imagination.B. Science fiction is imaginative, but it can be realized.C. Things seem impossible may come true.D. Things described in science fiction are sure to become true.7. The passage implies that ________.A. putting living cells into a sleep-like state is full of failureB. Biggiogera is confident with the experimentC. human’s hibernation needs no energyD. medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system8. What’s th e best title for the passage?A. Six humans to fly to CallistoB. Human hibernation improves healthCElizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, aealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One d ay, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, sheleft the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom. While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the newMassachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom---- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she ha d no superior or equal.”9. What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?A. She was born a slaveB. She was a slaveholderC. She had a famous sisterD. She was born into a rich family10. What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution?A. She should always obey her owners’ ordersB. She should be as free and equal as whitesC. How to be a good servantD. How to apply for a job11. What did Mumbet do after the trial?A. She chose to work for a lawyerB. She found the NAACPC. She continued to serve the AshleysD. She went to live with hergrandchildren12. What is the test mainly about?A. A story of a famous writer and spokespersonB. The friendship between a lawyerand a slaveC. The life of a brave African American womanDWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves -but artificial ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip (硅片) with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. "One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology," said Docera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prorotype(原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation (转换) inside the efficient with water and sunlight.
