studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the"quality"of the product and on how well it sells，because"consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package．Many products are packages and many packages are products．"，as Louis Cheskin，the first social scientist studying consumers'feelings for packaging，noticed．Colors are one of the best tools in packaging．Studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly．Take V8for example．For many years，the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body．And the word"green"today can keep food prices going up．Shapes are another attraction．Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness，because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart．That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old．This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages

Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were wooden and close together．One hundred thousand people became homeless，but only a few lost their lives．The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker（面包师）in Pudding Lane．The baker，with his wife and family，was able to get out through a window in the roof．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door．Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning．By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．Tuesday was the worst day．The fire destroyed many well-known buildings，old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them．Samuel Pepys，the famous writer，wrote about the fire．People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．Birds fell out of the air because of the heat．The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn，the fire became weak and finally died out．After the fire，Christopher Wren，the architect（建筑师），wanted a city with wider streets andfine new houses of stone．In fact，the streets are still narrow；but he did build more than fifty churches，among them new St Paul's．The fire caused great pain and loss，but after it London was a better place：a city for the future and not just of the past．21.The underlined word"family"in the second paragraph means ______ ．A.homeB.childrenC.wife and husbandD.wife and children22.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ______ ．A.some people lost their livesB.the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC.many famous buildings were destroyedD.the King's bakery was burned down23.Why did the writer cite（引用）Samuel Pepys？______A.Because Pepys was among

to the text？______A.The king and his soldiers came to help．B.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed．C.People managed to get enough water from the river．D.Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down．25.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire？______（a）There was a strong wind．（b）The streets were very narrow．（c）Many houses were made of wood．（d）There was not enough water in the city．（e）People did not discover the fire earlier．A.（a）and（b）B.（a），（b）and（c）C.（a），（b），（c）and（d）D.（a），（b），（c）（d）and（e）【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】C 【小题3】D 【小题4】D 【小题5】B【解析】21．答案B 词义猜测题．根据短文第二段中的The baker，with hiswife and family，was able to get out through a window in the roof．可知其中的family应该指的是孩子，故选B．22．答案C 细节理解题．根据短文第三段The fire destroyed manywell-known buildings，old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them．可知，本句暗示着伦敦的许多著名建筑在大火中都被烧毁了；故选C．23．答案D 推理判断题．根据短文第四段内容可知，作者引用Samuel Pepys的描述是为了向读者描绘一个清晰、形象的大火场景；故选D．．24．答案D 细节理解题．根据短文第五段Thefire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds ofbuildings in the path of the fire．可知，在大火沿途的建筑被推倒而且没有可烧的东西后大火才最终得以平息；故选D．25．答案B 该题是细节考查题．通读全文可得出大火的原因，第一段中的where most of the houses were wooden and close together，可推出（c）第二段中的A strong wind blew the firefrom the bakery（面包房）into asmall hotel next door，可推出（a）第六段中的After thefire，Christopher Wren，the architect（建筑师），wanted a citywith wider streets and fine new houses of stone，可推出（b）The streets were very narrow．故答案为B这篇短文中作者主要介绍了1666年发生在英国伦敦的大火，火灾的严重性在历史上是极其罕见的，给人的启迪是深刻的．故事类文章是英语高考中常考的一种文体．所谓故事类，顾名思义就是以叙事为主要内容的文章．一个故事，有开头，发展和结尾，层次非常清晰，语言通俗易懂，事情的来龙去脉完整地展现在试卷上．故事类阅读通常出现在高考阅读理解中的第一篇或第二篇，且文章难度和题目的难度不会太大．文章内容通常也都比较贴近学生的生活和社会背景．II、信息匹配(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Why

马营中学2015—2016学年度第一学期阶段性考试高二英语考试时间：100分钟试题分数：120分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，共40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy brother Ron joined the US army a few years ago. Most girls, especially those who are my age, are thrilled by anything that has to do with the “army”. It’s a novelty to them to shoot a gun, jump out of a plane, and wear uniform.Now I know you’re thinking that I must find it really cool to know a solider, who’s my brother. That’s wrong, before I found out that my brother joined the army, I was crazy about the army. Firstly, I wanted to go to college, knew that joining the army was probably the only way I could get it as my parents couldn’t afford it. Additionally there were all the other points of the army that grabbed my heart. I wanted the challenge, I wanted the discipline and I wanted the feeling that I would be doing something beyond the ability of average citizen.But as soon as my brother joined the army, all those things fell away. All I saw were dead people, guns shooting, tanks turning into a ball of fire, tents burning, and lots of blood. It was so horrible. When Ron went to Iraq, I freaked out whenever I didn’t hear from him for more than a week. I kept up with the news, reading the latest newspaper and listening to the hourly reports. And every time I heard that an American solider was killed, I prayed, it’ wasn’t Ron.I’m proud of my brother for serving our country, and his willingness to devote his life to something he finds important. It’s great to see how discipline and mature he’s got, and I’m glad he has his college paid for. But although I am proud, I gladly give up the “coolness” of having a brother in the army. I would be perfectly all right if I had never seen that uniform on him, and he was just a plain old “boring”brother.I love my brother, and I’m proud of him, but I want him back home!21. What did the writer think of the army before Ron joined?A. Joining the army was more beneficial than going to college.B. Joining the army was a good choice for those who couldn’t afford college education.C. Joining the army was meant risking one’s life for something important,D. Joining the army did more harm than good.22. After Ron joined the army, the writer .A. decide to join the army one dayB. became afraid of seeing soldiersC. often showed off Ron in front of friendsD. became aware of the danger of joining the army23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Peace or war?B. Life in the armyC. Having a soldier in the familyD. A choice between your life and your dreamBThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, four or five of whom lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has to take care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women's life-patterns has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls took a full-time job after they left school. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school- leaving age is sixteen; many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry older, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.24. At what age did most women marry around the 1890 according to the passage?A. At about twenty-fiveB. In their earl fiftiesC. At the age of fifteenD. At any age from fifteen to forty-five25. Many girls, the passage claims, are now likely to_______.A. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry so that they can get a jobD. continue working until they are going to have a baby26. When she was over fifty, a late nineteenth-century mother ______.A. was usually expected to die fairly soonB. would expect to work until she diedC. would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsD. was less likely to find a job even if she wanted to27. Nowadays, a husband tends to_______.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing much of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part-time job so that he can help in the homeCThe best example of something is often called the "gold standard." It sets the standard against which other things are measured. In economics, the term describes how major trading nations once used gold to set currency values and exchange rates. Many nations continued to use the gold standard until the last century.In the United States, people could exchange paper money for gold from the eighteen seventies until nineteen thirty-three. Then-President Richard Nixon finally disconnected the dollar from the value of gold in nineteen seventy-one. From time to time, some politicians call for a return to the gold standard.In 1978, the International Monetary Fund ended an official gold price. The IMF also ended the required use of gold in transactions with its member countries. Since that time, gold prices have grown and continued to be high. But people keep buying. Some people are "gold bugs." These are investors who say people should buy gold to protect against inflation(通货膨胀).People have valued gold for thousands of years. The soft, dense metal polishes to a bright yellow shine and resists most chemical reactions. It makes a good material for money, political power -- and, more recently, electrical power. If you own a device like a mobile phone or a computer, you might own a little gold in the wiring.The gold standard was the subject of one of the best-known speeches in American political history. William Bryan wanted the country to use both gold and silver as money. The idea was to devalue the dollar and make it easier for farmers to pay their debts. So he delivered a speech, which made him famous. He was a presidential candidate three times. But he never won.28. The underlined word “transactions” probably means “”A. warsB. tradeC. meetingsD. conflict29. After the IMF ended the official gold price, the gold prices .A. stayed the sameB. began to dropC. increasedD. increased a little at first and kept drop30. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The reason for valuing goldB. The history of the use of goldC. New function of goldD. How to obtain gold31. We can learn from the last paragraph that William Bryan .A. was once a farmerB. loved to collect goldC. was a famous political figureD. was a good at giving speechesDEdward Wilson is America's, if not the world's, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world's natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today's Walden Pond with that of Thoreau's day. Wilsonwill use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future? Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.32. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about .A. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the waste of natural resourcesD. the importance of human values33. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. TwentyB. EightyC. One hundredD. Ten thousand34. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to .A. learn how to farm scientificallyB. builds homes for some dying speciesC. makes it clear what to eatD. use more species for food35. We can infer that the text isA. description of natural resourcesB. a research reportC. a book reviewD. an introduction to a scientist第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10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。

It was highly infectious so that dirty plates in restaurants, dirty toilets or food that was not clean passed on the disease. When people were infected they could spread the disease, by coughing or sneezing. The problem was that this illness looked at first as if it was flu or pneumonia. The patients had a high temperature, headaches and often developed a dry cough and pneumonia. Many of them died. The problem was that doctors and nurses caring for the patients were also at great risk of the disease. When they touched the patients, kissed or hugged them, came close to them or touched items already used by the patients they were at risk. So, many of them did not go home until the outbreak was over.Dr Zhong Nanshan was very concerned about this new illness. He felt that it was not enough to control the illness. If it was to be treated properly then the researchers had to find the cause of the illness. He worked very hard and refused to hide the facts.He spoke of outbreaks spreading all over China. He insisted that time and effort be given to overcome this illness. On the 12th April 2003, he was successful in finding the cause of SARS. Having found that he knew it would be easier to get rid of the illness. Because of his good work SARS did not return to China in 2004 but the government and the doctors are always watching to see if it will ever return.1.

Which do you think is the best title?A. Zhong Nanshan’s Hard WorkB. SARS — a Dangerous New IllnessC. Zhong Nanshan, a Fighter Against SARSD. How to Prevent SARS Successfully?BWhen Stephen Hawking published A Brief History of Time in 1989, the reactions of the public were quite different from those of scientific circles. People who were not scientists described the book as a masterpiece. They said the book helped them understand what a very complex world astrophysics was. But scientists responded differently. They claimed the book was not scientific enough and relied too much on guessing, rather than on solid facts. Despite these conflicting views, the book has been wildly popular. Since its release in 1989, over 5.5 million copies have been sold with translations published in 33 different languages.A Brief History of Time covers a broad and diverse range of topics regarding the nature of the universe and time. Did time actually have a beginning? Does time have an end? Is the universe infinite? Hawking deals with these interesting issues only after reviewing former theories that tried to unlock the mysteries of the universe. These included Galileo’s and Newton’s works. Of course, but even more importantly, Hawking r aises questions on Einstein’s theory of relativity (which deals with the infinitely large) as well as his work in quantum mechanics (which deals with the infinitely small).Hawking studied these theories, as well as cosmology, during his education at Oxford University in England. He explained his love for physics as an extension of mathematics: “To me, mathematics is just a tool with which to do physics.”In A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, Hawking explores unknown areas of deep sp ace. He builds his observations on the idea that “At one point, the earth we now walk on was distributed so tenuously (稀薄地) that a gram of soil would have occupied a column the size of an entire planet … In a sense, each of us has been inside a star; in a sense, each of us has been in the vast empty space between stars; and —if the universe ever had a beginning —each of us was there!”He is referring to a time before the Big Bang, when all of the matter on and surrounding earth did not exist as it does today. Rather, that matter took shape through temperature and pressure at the centre of a star. As a result of this pressure and temperature, the star, or supernova, exploded. Physicists are still trying to create mathematical models that come close to representing the evolution of the universe from that time forward.6. What did Hawking study during his time at Oxford University?A. Galileo’s works.B. Newton’s works.C. Einstein’s theory of relativity.D. All the above.7. Which of the following is true about A Brief History of Time?A. Only 5.5 million copies of it were published.B. It was brought out in 1989.C. The public agreed with scientists on the quality of the book.D. It was not a widely read book.8. By quoting (引用)Hawking’s remark in the third paragraph, the author intends to .A. show that mathematics is not important in his studiesB. tell us that mathematics can help us understand physicsC. suggest that physics is just part of mathematicsD. make it c lear that Hawking’s study of mathematics was second to his love for physics9. According to Hawking, .A. all the things on earth have always existed as they do nowB. all of us once lived inside a starC. stars have not changed since the Big BangD. the matter on and surrounding the earth gathered at a star’s centre before the Big Bang10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People’s different attitudes toward A Brief History of Time.B. Hawking’s ideas about the nature of the universe.C. An introduction of A Brief History of Time.D. Hawking’s fight against his disease and his achievements in research.CThe Master of SuspenseOne of England’s greatest movie directors was a man by the name of Alfred Hitchcock, born in 1899. He made many famous black and white movies that were scary and full of suspense, hence his nickname as the “Master of Suspense”. His most famous films include The Birds and Psycho. Most of his films were murder mysteries, with clever dialogues, interesting plots and talented actors and actresses. He was also a revolutionary filmmaker and introduced many new techniques to the movie-making industry. Hitchcock had a roundish belly and a big nose, which made his profile very recognizable. He was not an actor but he loved to make cameo appearances in his own films.Hitchcock was an unusual man. For example, he produced frightening movies about mysterious murders, and yet once he said his own greatest fear was the fear of small children!Hitchcock also had a very clever imagination, which is especially clear in his movie The Birds. In this terrifying movie, a town is attacked by a tremendous flock of black birds. The birds are angry and break into people’s homes to take revenge.This man’s great imagination is also reflecte d in Psycho, which is one of the most famous British movies of all time. In Psycho, a young man claims to run a small motel with his elderly mother. But it turns out that the mother is fictional; she exists only in the young man’s head. At night, he dresse s up like his mother and sits near the window for people to see. But after midnight he breaks into his guests’bedrooms and murders them.In Hitchcock’s time and era, murder mysteries were not gruesome, like many of today’s horror films with lots of blood and gore. They thrilled audiences with their focus on intrigue and suspense.11. Which of the following is NOT true about Hitchcock’s movies?A. They were all murder mysteries.B. They have clever dialogues and interesting plots.C. They have talented actors and actresses.D. They are black and white movies.12. Why was Hitchcock an unusual man in the writer’s opinion?A. He was a large man with a big nose.B. His movies are horrible movies.C. He produced frightening movies, but he thought small children frightened him the most.D. His mysterious movies scared children the most.13. What does the phrase “make cameo appearances” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. Appear with a camera.B. Play an unimportant part.C. Make a short appearance.D. Play in a funny way.14. How many films directed by the name of Alfred Hitchcock are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.15. About Alfred Hitchcock, which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. His contribution.B. His career.C. His nickname.D. His weakness.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）【题文】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。

The pictures help you understand what is being said and T V news is an ideal way to help improve your listening ability b ecause within a short period of time the same news is often re peated. This means that you can watch basically the same ne ws program several times within a day and that every succee ding program will help you to understand what is being said. These preparatory steps are very important before your listeni ng：●Find out which news report you want to listen to, when and o n what channel. CCTV 9 is a good choice because this is Chi na's English channel and has regular news reports.●Just watch the news reports for a few days first, before requi ring yourself to understand the stories. Give yourself time to g et familiar with the newsreaders and their accents. You shoul d also get an idea of the structure of the entire report as well a s the structure of a typical news story.●Watch the news in Chinese first. This will tell you what the m ain news items are and help prepare you for understanding n ews reports in English.While listening, you should pay attention to a few things that y ou may try to do：●You can aim at just getting what a story is about. Give a one to twosentence description after each story.●Put forward a few questions to yourself about a story, and th en seek to answer them from your listening. You can do this b y stopping the tape as soon as the headline is read to you.●Your may write a full transcript(抄本) of a story to practice intensive listening. This may bring to notice listening problems that have skipped your attention wh en you only concentrate on the content.Even though the listening part is over, some followup activitie s will help you reinforce(加强) your learning. You may talk about the news with one or m ore friends. This provides an opportunity to produce a summa ry or express your thoughts in a brief article.12．The underlined word “succeeding” most probably means ________.A．funny B. good C．next D．famous 13．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ?A．Getting ready for news listening.B．Give a simple description after each story.C．Listening practice after the proposal.D．Doing followup activities after listening.14．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to t he passage?A．The pictures on TV are helpful to your written English and spoken English.B．You may get a general idea about a story by using one or two sentences.C．CCTV 9 is a good choice because there are all excellent f oreign newsreaders.D．You may use the whole transcript of a story to practice yo ur writing ability.15．The best title for this passage may probably be ________. A．How to Listen to TV NewsB．How to Improve Your ListeningC．How to Learn from ListeningD．How to Listen Step by StepEI remember that I used to rebel（反抗）against many dos and don’ts my parents told me. For example, when I kept on listening to jazz on the record player, my fat her used to consider it noise and replace it with classical musi c, which I always felt dull. My mom and dad were also very pa rticular about(挑剔) the friends I made with, and always quoted the well-known sentence—one rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples. These w ere just a few examples of the things I thought my parents we re unreasonable about.Today, however, I am the father of a boy of 15, and I find tha t I am pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations th at he seems to find hard to follow too. One day, I noticed that my son’s hair was too long, so I told him to go to the barber’s and get it cut short. Ordinarily, he will do what he is told to, bu t this time he put his foot down. “What’s wrong with my long h air?” he said. “Most of my friends have long hair. And besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? I don’t think you have the right to ord er me to cut it short, even if you’re my father!”When I was a boy, if I had spoken to my father in that way, h e would have taught me a lesson. But I suddenly realize that we are now living in a more liberal world, and my son’s insiste nce on wearing his hair long is merely an instance of the gene ration gap that exists between us. Finally, I agree to it, so he still wears his hair long.16．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Stories Between Father and SonB．The Generation GapC．Dos and Don’ts for TeenagersD．A Thoughtful Father17．The underlined phrase “put his foot down” in Paragrap h 2 probably means that the son .obeyed his father’s orderrefused firmly to do as his father wished him toC．put down his feet to relax himselfD．ran away from home.18．The writer used to rebel against his parents mainly bec ause .A．his parents were unreasonableB．the writer was a rebellious teenagerC．his parents always told him to make friends carefully D．the generation gap existed between them19．Which of the following is NOT the reason why the write r becomes liberal at last?A．His son refuses to obey his orders firmly.B．He once suffered from the experience like his son. C．He realizes it is nothing but the generation gap.D．They are living in a more liberal world today.20．From the passage, we can safely draw a conclusion th at .A．the writer’s parent didn’t love him at allB．the generation gap can be removed in a more liberal worl dC．the writer will have a friendly relationship with his son D．as long as you stick to what you want to do, you will surel y make it eventually第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。

She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors. ””Yes, I’m glad they've finally decided to clean them, "the nurse answered。

She looked at Mum strangely and said，”But aren’t you working late?”Mum just pushed harder，each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking herfarther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.After a long time Mum came back。
