2023-2024学年甘肃省武威市高二下学期期末质量检测英语试卷Some Strangest Festivals From Around The WorldThrough the years, people have found many ways to celebrate important occasions in their lives. If you’re looking for an interesting and off-the-beaten-path travel place, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.Boryeong Annual Mud Festival, Boryeong rockThis festival takes place at the beach, with much mud (泥巴) resource from the sea. At this festival, people take part in a number of activities involving (涉及) mud, which not only brings back happy childhood memories but is good for the skin.World Body-painting Festival, Pörtschach, AustriaThis entire festival is not strange because of the activities that occur (发生) during it, but because of the way people look when it’s over. During this time, artists worldwide flood in and hold live body-painting activities. They are painting creative designs on willing participants (参与者).Underwater Music Festival, Florida, AmericaRather than being held at a typical concert hall, the underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed. This special custom is unlike any others because it featured musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving (潜水) equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.Battle of the orange, Ivrea, ItalyThis Italian town hosts one of the most unusual festivals. Each year in February, a battle (战斗) takes place among thousands of participants who have to throw orange at each other during a 30-minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other participants by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.1.

Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (自夸) about how they sent text messages and never got caught. “Kyle, you don’t text in class that way!” one of them said. “I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I’m looking at my textbooks.”“Isn’t it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught?” the other o ne laughed.They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.People don’t just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It’s smarter not to break the rules.4. The teacher asked Kyle to give his phone because ________.A．he was playing with his phone in class B．the students wanted to see Kyle’s newphoneC．the teacher wanted to teach him how to text D．the teacher wanted to speak to Kyle’s parents5.

Here’s a look at four unique Chinese folk art forms.Chinese Opera is the traditional form of Chinese drama. According to incomplete statistics, inCh ina’s various ethnic regions there are about more than 360 kinds of operas. The most famous ones include Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yueju Opera, Yuju Opera, Sichuan Opera, Fujian Opera,Hebei opera, Huangmei Opera and so on, in total more than 50, among which Peking Opera is the most popular in China.Shadow Play dates back to Western Han Dynasty in Shaanxi more than 1000 years ago. The moving figures, usually carved out from leather, are operated by folk artists, accompanied by music and singing. It is the world’s first dubbed (配音的) motion picture art form, thus considered the “ancestor” of modern film. Today this art form is still popular in northern China.Paper-cutting is one of the most popular traditional decorative arts in China with a long history. Paper-cutting can be seen across China and it has even developed into different local genres (流派). They are usually used to decorate gates and windows during festivals.The Kite was invented by Chinese people. According to legend the earliest kite in China was a wooden bird by Mo Di in the Eastern Zhou dynasty. Later his student Lu Ban improved the tech and used bamboo as material to make a kite. Today, various kite-flying activities can be found in different regions of China. Shandong Weifang Kite Festival is held every year and attracts lots of kite lovers and travelers.8.

They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes thewater dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A (甲型肝炎) and cholera (霍乱).However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and help plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.12. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in Paragraph 2?A．Become. B．Pollute. C．Block. D．Develop.13. How do floods help ecosystems?A．Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.B．Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.C．Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.D．Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．The way in which floods feed animals. B．The benefits of floods to ecosystems.C．An effective means of improving soil. D．The reason for people’s appreciatingfloods.15. What’s the best title of this article?A．The Bad Effects of Flooding B．The Secret of FloodingC．Floods-A Disaster to Humans D．Floods — A Part of NatureWhat Are the Physical Benefits of Exercise?Exercise is often thought of as activities that help a person lose weight or prevent weight gain. Having a body that is slimmer and trimmer is certainly one of the physical benefits of exercise, but there are many others. 16Exercising can help strengthen the muscles.Diet pills may help a man shed weight but they will not help him build or strengthen his muscles. The physical benefits of exercise are generally experienced simultaneously. 17 This benefit is not limited to males and the types of exercises that produce these results are not limited to weight lifting.Working out can make the bones stronger.Exercise also strengthens bones, which becomes more important the older a person gets. Bones go through a natural process of breaking down the rebuilding. 18 Physical activity produces that stimulation and, therefore, helps decrease the likelihood of conditions such as osteoporosis (骨质疏松).19Many people are concerned with looking older. Slowing and reversing the effects of aging are benefits of physical exercise. Cellulite (皮下脂肪团), for example, can make a young woman appear older than she is. 20 Wrinkles are another sign of aging that can be reduced by exercise since physical activity tends to improve the condition of skin.Confucius was a great philosopher, educationalist as well as the founder of Confucianism. He was born in 551 BC in Shandong province of China. His beliefs _______ the importance of having a good moral (道德的) character and personal ethics (伦理). They have a great _______ on the majority of Chinese culture.Confucius has left many _______ sayings, which are still remembered and followed _______.

AI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.1.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Feeling uncertain about his future.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Efforts made in vain.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.2.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To cure a young owl .D. To look at a baby owl.3.What made the chick calm down?A. Some food.B. A new nest.C.A recording.D. Its parents.4.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s beautiful.B. It’s unexpecte d.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.BWe all use money every day. It is essential because we can pay money for whatever we want. Money is recognized as banknotes and coins.However, many years ago people couldn’t go to the shop and buy what they wanted. They had to get what they wanted through the barter trade(实物交易).It was really difficult, for the barter often depended on coincidence of wants. For example, the seller of grain has to find a buyer who wants to buy grain and who also could offer something the seller wants to buy. And one more example, if a wheat farmer needs what a fruit farmer produces, a direct exchange is impossible because seasonal fruit would spoil before the grain harvest. The solution is to trade fruit for wheat indirectly through a third intermediate commodity(中间的商品),such as cattle, salt, shells, wine. However, commodity money had their disadvantages. For example, cattle, fur, precious stones couldn’t be cut into smaller pieces and it was inconvenient to keep and transport th em. Thus coins were invented.The earliest known coins in the western world came from Lydia in about 650 B.C. Greek cities, the Great Persian Empire and Roman Empire quickly adopted the new useful technique of metal currency. And by the end of the 6th century, coinages were common throughout the region. However, coins as well as commodity money had many disadvantages. For instance, coins quickly show wear(磨损) and they usually have small value, so it’ s difficult to count large sums of coins.At first, paper money was used in China in about 650 A.D. After then ,it was used in Persia and Japan. In Europe, paper money was firstly produced in the Netherlands in the 16th century and in the USA in the 17th century. Paper money is worthless but symbolic. In other words, paper money is just a note. It has a purchasing power because the government announces it as money and citizens accept it universally.5.The writer explains the difficulty of barter trade by .A. telling storiesB. making a comparisonC. presenting a theoryD. using examples6.What do we know about the early coins?A. They usually had large value.B. They still had many disadvantages.C. They were first used in Greece.D. People didn’ t like the metal currency.7.Paper money was used earlier in .A. RomeB. GreeceC. the NetherlandsD. the USA8.What is the passage mainly about?A. History of money.B. Function of money.C. Invention of money.D. Types of money.CTHYSSEN ELEVATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe. GUANGDONG THYSSEN ELEVATORS LTD.

One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 21 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 22 that they could, at any time, break free, 23 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 24 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 25 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, theybelieve the rope can 26 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 27 once before？Do you often tell 28 “I cannot dance”or “I’m not good at math”？These are 29 of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you’re 30 for them. A limiting belief that saysyou’re poor at math may have 31 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 32 you.The cool thing is that because you create the 33 you can choose to change it！Here is how:First, 34 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35 , your subconsciousness (潜意识) will make this come true by driving you to 36 . That might be to take a math course or to go online 37 help, etc.Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 38 .This is such a simple process that you can 39 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 40 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.21. A.excited B.confusedC.discouragedD.worried22.

This voyage changed his life.He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508. While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young.For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself.The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien.He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again.This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen（部落成员）. Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know.41. Ponce's voyage to the New World with Columbus______________.A. affected his future life greatlyB. made him forget the way backC. was supported by Charles V financiallyD. was to find the Fountain of Youth42. The underlined word "consented" in Paragraph 4probably means_____________.A. agreedB. opposedC. doubtedD. succeeded43. According to the passage, Ponce_____________.A. became governor of Boriquien in 1513B. found the Fountain of Youth in 1521C. arrived in Florida twiceD. didn't show much interest in the Fountain of Youth44. According to the last paragraph we can know that______________.A. Ponce managed to escape from native tribesmen's attack without any injuryB. Ponce died in Florida in 1521C. his men weren't well received by native tribesmen in FloridaD. people found the Fountain of Youth after Ponce's deathBThere is plenty for kids and teens to do in the Syracuse area during the summer, including some great educational opportunities. Here are the top four.Rosamond Gifford Zoo CampThe zoo offers separate camps for kids. The camps for kindergarteners run from 9 am to 12:30 pm, and cost $115 for zoo members and $135 for non-members.

Where can children attend the largest number of programs with low cost?A. Christian Brothers AcademyB. Rosamond Gifford ZooC. The Sheldon InstituteD. Syracuse UniversityCSchools are still free to pass the potato. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal(提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates(碳⽔化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.The Senate’s amendment(修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or othervegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato—growing state, supported amendment. “USDA’s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation’s school districts at a time when they can least afford it,”Collins said.Those in favor of potato limit say that children getenough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. “USDA’s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this,”said the Center’s Margo Wootan, “Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes.”The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA’s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can’t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease(油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato—growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. “This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals.”he said.48. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools.B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools.C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.49. One reason for blocking the proposal is that________. .A. the proposal will put needless costs on nation’s school districtsB. children like eating potatoes.C. there aren’t enough other vegetables for childrenD. other vegetables will have a hard time competing with potatoes.50. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Food supplies in America affect students.B. Potatoes served in school will be limited.C. A project on the students’health is carried out.D.A proposal is blocked by the U.S. Senate.第⼆节(共5⼩题；每⼩题2分,满分l0分)根据短⽂内容,从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每⼀段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂⿊.选项中有⼀项为多余项.China must become more livable to retain top talent51. _______________________China has to transform from an "economic power" to a "livable power" in order to keep its wealth, talent and confidence.The "2011 China Private Wealth Report," released recently by China Merchants Bank, shows that nearly 60 percent of the respondents(调查对象) whose investment exceed (超越）10 million yuan have plans to emigrate (移居外国）by investing.52. _______________________Human migration is not a new phenomenon. From the Euro-Asian Silk Road to Columbus's Discovery of the New World, migrants have brought about cultural communications and economic exchanges across the world. Migration has become an important driving force for social progress.53. _______________________Nowadays, economic globalization has considerably improved the freedom and increased the attractiveness of migration from one country to another.A certain degree of Chinese emigration can not only offer more opportunities in personal life, employment and investment but also boost（促进）the exchange and cooperation between China and other countries.54._______________________However, the factors of the emigration wave should also be figured out.The topic of emigration seems serious because this new wave has to some extent reflected some “unlivable”factors in China. The reasons provided by Chinese emigrants include helping their children to avoid domestic exam-oriented education, obtaining a healthy living environment and sound social security, seeking a sounder investment environment and getting rid of the "anti-rich" atmosphere arising from the inequality in wealth.55. _______________________In order to curb（控制）the wave of emigration, China should further deepen social and economic reforms, improve its educational system to guarantee children'shealth and happiness, as well as strengthen the protection of private wealth through legislation. Furthermore, China shouldalso improve the social security system to increase people's happiness, crack down on corruption and promote social justice and equity so as to uphold the dignity of ordinary citizens. Only in this way can China retain its wealth, talent and confidence and curb the overheated immigration wave.第II卷第三部分：写作(共三节, 满分40分)第⼀节单词拼写(共10⼩题；每⼩题1分，满分10分) 根据下列各句句意和空⽩之后的汉语提⽰词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写⼀词。

Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of thin area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allow ed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the moderm French Republic,which bring with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.4．Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A．They seldom follow the French law.B．They often ignore the Cuianese law.C．They are separated the modem world.D．They are both Cuianese and French citizens.5．Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiana as .A．a tour guide B．a geographerC．a film director D．a photographer6．What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?A．Cautious. B．Doubtful.C．Uninterested D．Apprecitive.7．What does the underlined wor d “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The modera Frrnch lifestyle. B．The self-supporting hunting.C．The uncivilized world. D．The French Republic.Helsinki is offering young people the chance to rent a cheap apartment in an old people’s home,if they agree to spend time socialising with the elderly residents.The city council(议会) is seeking applications from renters under the age of 25 who will commit to spending between three and five hours each week with their older neighbours,at a care home in the eastern Laajasalo district.In exchange,they’ll get a studio flat measuring 23 square meters with a private kitchen,bathroom and balcony for 250 euros per month.Currently only three flats are available,but the scheme(方案) is part of a wider effort to deal with a lack of accommodation for young people in the capital.Ordinarily a studio flat costs about 600 euros a month,depending on the area,one local university advises.Those who apply don’t need any specific care experience.“There are staff to look afte r the elderly,”project manager Miki Mielonen tells Yle.“We are looking for young people who maybe have a different perspective on everyday life,who will bring variety and recreation to the elderly residents.”More than 60 people have applied for the spaces in less than a week,and the idea has also been widely recognized by Finns on social media.“Great project,hopefully it will spread to other areas,”writes one person on the Internet,while another applauds the scheme for bringing different generations together.But some wish it was open to more people,with one user saying:“It’s a shame the flats areso small.It would have been nice if the elderly had a small family with children or a single parent as their neighbour.”And one person has a different opinion abo ut the cut-offage,writing:“Shame I’m too old for this—I would have surely applied.”8．One can probably get the cheap apartment if he .A．reaches the age of 25B．has financial problemsC．promises to accompany the elderlyD．agrees to share it9．Why is the new rent scheme accepted?A．It can benefit both young and old.B．It doesn’t need any professional training.C．The flats are well-equipped.D．Big apartments are in short supply.10．What does the underlined sentence suggest?A．He doesn’t want to grow up.B．He has a chance to apply again.C．He disapproves of the age limit.D．He applies for the flat without hesitation.11．What would be the best title of the text?A．Young Finns offered cheap flats at care homeB．New apartments designed for the elderlyC．A new approach to caring for the oldD．A good chance for the needy familiesProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more peoplelive longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to providefor them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young ormiddle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorl y-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.12．The author believes that the population explosion results from______.A．an increase in birthratesB．a decrease in death ratesC．the industrial developmentD．human beings’ cultural advances13．It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures ______.A．it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB．old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsC．the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvation D．death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life 14．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in theUnited States is True?A．When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.B．A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C．With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever. D．Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.15．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?A．Critical. B．Approving.C．Optimistic. D．Sympathetic.二、七选五If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 16．The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 17．We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 18．Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.19．We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.20．It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.A．This time there was no tent.B．Things are going to be improved.C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.三、完形填空Each fall my wife and I go to visit our children. It isn't that they don't like us 21 their lifestyles and their work have 22 them to the far corners of North America and we don't get to see them very 23 .

It was hot there and we spent most of our 28 in the swimming pool. I liked warm weather but none of us liked it that 29 . The local people are convinced that the late fall 30 is cool because it doesn't get much over 33 degrees. But it was 31 over 40 degrees when we stayed there.After a week in Indio, we returned to Los Angeles to 32 the heat. As we drove and looked west across the city, we could 33 a layer of dirty brown haze (雾霾) trapped above the downtown area. That's what we would be 34 for the next few days.I don't 35 Los Angeles. In fact, I wouldn't want to live anywhere in the US and Los Angeles, in particular, is not the place I would 36 even if I had to live in the US. To be fair there are many 37 in Los Angeles such as Hollywood, Long Beach and some good restaurants. 38 , having air you can almost taste and traffic jams that can make the simplest trips a nightmare (噩梦) does not, for me, make a 39 atmosphere in which I would want to spend my time.

One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 21 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 22 that they could, at any time, break free, 23 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 24 for this.He said, “When they were very young we used the 25 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can 26 hold them, so they never try.”Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 27 once before？Do you often tell 28 “I cannot dance”or “I’m not good at math”？These are 29 of self limiting beliefs.You must realize you’re 30 for them. A limiting belief that saysyou’re poor at math may have 31 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 32 you.The cool thing is that because you create the 33 you can choose to change it！Here is how:First, 34 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 35 , your subconsciousness (潜意识) will make this come true by driving you to 36 . That might be to take a math course or to go online 37 help, etc.Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 38 .This is such a simple process that you can 39 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 40 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.21. A.excited B.confusedC.discouragedD.worried22.

This voyage changed his life.He decided to stay when Columbus returned. Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508.While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source. People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young.For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was. He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it. The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself.The young explorer did so readily, and they set off. It was March 1513. They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain. On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast. On April 2, he landed at what he named St. Augustine. This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America.He had several adventures along the way. He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth. He returned to Boriquien.He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth. Finally, in 1521, he set out again.This time, he landed on the Florida coast again. While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen（部落成员）. Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured. He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida. Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth. Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know.41.

Syracuse UniversityCSchools are still free to pass the potato. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to block a proposal(提议) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) would have limited the amount of potatoes and other starchy(富含淀粉的) vegetables served in schools. And those vegetables high in carbohydrates(碳水化合物) would also have been banned from school breakfast. The USDA had wanted to make the changes to the federal school lunch program.The Senate’s amendment(修正案) blocks the USDA from putting any limits on amount of servings of potatoes or other vegetables in school lunches. Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a potato—growing state, supported amendment. “USDA’s proposed rule would have put significant and needless costs on our nation’s school districts at a time when they can least afford it,”Collins said.Those in favor of potato limit say that children getenough potatoes already and should be encouraged to try other vegetables. The centre for science in the Public Interest pushed for the restrictions. “USDA’s proposal was about helping kids to eat a very wide variety of vegetables, and I think that opinion has been lost in all this,”said the Center’s Margo Wootan, “Other vegetables have a hard time competing with potatoes.”The proposed change upset potato growers, who believed potatoes were being unfairly targeted. Some schools have criticized the USDA’s attempt to tell them exactly what foods they can or can’t serve. Critics say the USDA should focus on advising schools on how to prepare the potato instead. Potatoes can be a good source of fiber. Many schools already prepare French fries with less grease(油脂) and serve potatoes in healthier ways.The USDA is expected to release a final list of guidelines for the federal school lunch program next year. Senator Mark Udall of Colorado, another potato—growing state, also supported the amendment that blocked the potato limit. “This amendment seeks to ensure flexibility for schools to provide nutritious and affordable school meals.”he said.48. What is the content of the proposal put forward by the USDA?A. Reducing the amount of starch vegetables served in schools.B. Reducing the amount of vegetables served in schools.C. Supporting serving potatoes in school.D. Stopping serving starchy vegetables in schools.49. One reason for blocking the proposal is that________. .A. the proposal will put needless costs on nation’s school districtsB. children like eating potatoes.C. there aren’t enough other vegetables for childrenD. other vegetables will have a hard time competing with potatoes.50. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Food supplies in America affect students.B. Potatoes served in school will be limited.C. A project on the students’health is carried out.D.A proposal is blocked by the U.S. Senate.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分,满分l0分)根据短文内容,从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.选项中有一项为多余项.China must become more livable to retain top talent51. _______________________China has to transform from an "economic power" to a "livable power" in order to keep its wealth, talent and confidence.The "2011 China Private Wealth Report," released recently by China Merchants Bank, shows that nearly 60 percent of the respondents(调查对象) whose investment exceed (超越）10 million yuan have plans to emigrate (移居外国）by investing.52. _______________________Human migration is not a new phenomenon. From the Euro-Asian Silk Road to Columbus's Discovery of the New World, migrants have brought about cultural communications and economic exchanges across the world. Migration has become an important driving force for social progress.53. _______________________Nowadays, economic globalization has considerably improved the freedom and increased the attractiveness of migration from one country to another.A certain degree of Chinese emigration can not only offer more opportunities in personal life, employment and investment but also boost（促进）the exchange and cooperation between China and other countries.54._______________________However, the factors of the emigration wave should also be figured out.The topic of emigration seems serious because this new wave has to some extent reflected some “unlivable”factors in China. The reasons provided by Chinese emigrants include helping their children to avoid domestic exam-oriented education, obtaining a healthy living environment and sound social security, seeking a sounder investment environment and getting rid of the "anti-rich" atmosphere arising from the inequality in wealth.55. _______________________In order to curb（控制）the wave of emigration, China should further deepen social and economic reforms, improve its educational system to guarantee children'shealth and happiness, as well as strengthen the protection of private wealth through legislation. Furthermore, China should also improve the social security system to increase people's happiness, crack down on corruption and promote social justice and equity so as to uphold the dignity of ordinary citizens. Only in this way can China retain its wealth, talent and confidence and curb the overheated immigration wave.第II卷第三部分：写作(共三节, 满分40分)第一节单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。
