14-15学年牛津高二上学期B1U1阶段测试IClass: _______ N ame: _______ Marks: _____ 满分(85)第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AMaking choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is “Hobson's choice"・ It is often used to describe a difficult choice・ But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge・ Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he dicing really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson^s choice was really no choice・Another expression for having no real choice is "between a rock and a hard placet It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good・ For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends・ If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are "caught between a rock and a hard placetAnother expression 一"between the devil and the deep blue sea" — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology(词V匚学)say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship・ If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak(漏),then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working "between the devil and the deep blue sea”・There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —u on the horns of a dilemma"(左右为难).The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices・ When your dilemma has horns(角人making a choice becomes impossible・When you are “on the horns of a dilemma,; no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.1.We could learn from Mr. Hobson,s story that he ____ .A.wanted to leach the students a lessonB.liked to make things difficult for the studentsC.didn^t permit the students to ride his best horsesD.didn't know the students were good at riding horses2.The underlined word “seanT in Paragraph 4 refers to _____ ・A.the line where two pieces of wood meetB.the piece of wood which begins to leakC・ lhe side of the ship which was being hung overD. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship3・ Which of the following expressions doesn't mean bad choices?A.Between the devil and the deep blue sea.B・ Hobson,s choice・C・ Between a rock and a hard place・D. On the horns of a dilemma.BThe bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins — lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety(焦虑)builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships・ There9s hardly room for the ques tion, “Will you save me a seat?99 at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned(指左白勺)tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend・ The school's president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change・The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn^t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity(包容)and friendship.People really saw a change・ A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few mo me nts before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.4・ What inspired the president of Bridport Elementaiy to introduce the system?A.Students didn't speak to friends at a table.B.Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria・C・ Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd・D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.5・ Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?A.Because students were tired of them.B.Because they didn't work out as expected・C.Because they were replaced by something else.D.Because there was no need for them any more・6. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A.The benefits of the system.B.The disadvantages of the system.C.The wider use of the system.D.The lessons learned from the system.CGood luck symbols and their meaningsRich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that holds us together is luck. Let^s have a look at the meanings of some luck symbols.Bamboo is often connected with growth not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of relationships, careers and life in general・That is why people believepresenting bamboo to another person is akin to presenting the person with good luck・Considered to be one of the gods of wealth by the Buddhists, the Buddha isconnected with prosperity(繁荣),success and financial gains. Placing theBuddha diagonally(成对角线地)opposite the main door activates and greets thegood energy entering the house・ While the Buddha is admired for his happiness,completeness and wisdom of contentment, rubbing his stomach is believed to bringgood luck・A symbol of fertility and rebirth, presenting someone with eggs is consideredlucky. A brown egg is connected with not just luck but also happiness. Eggs are alsoused to encourage the growth of crops, protect young children from misfortune andalso as a means to keep away from the evil eye・A ladybug is a symbol of patience, good health and wealth. A ladybug that landson a person is said to take away the illness. A ladybug landing herself on a recentlymarried woman brings happiness and joy.Call them the luck bringers, for spotting a penny lying on the floor is indeed your luck. You know the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all that day you'll have goodluck!”There are many more symbols of good luck. However, one should never rely completely on these symbols for success, and should view them as just con fide nee boosters ・ Good Luck!7. The underlined word u akin" probably means _____A. due B・ useful C. similar D. harmful8.Which of the following can bring us good luck?A.Keeping a ladybug as a pet.B.Rubbing the Buddha9s stomach・C.Dropping a penny to the floor.D.Placing the Buddha against the main door.9.According to the text, a brown egg ______ .A.may invite the evil eyeB.is not a sign of good luckC.can bring people happinessD・ is more delicious than ordinary ones10.What does the author tell us in the last paragraph?A.Learn how to get good luck・B.Learn more symbols of good luck.C・ Try hard to build up our confidence・D.Rely on ourselves rather than the luck symbols・DWhen people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That/s a hard one, don% you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred(仇恨),if s definitely not possible. Well,that's what some people say.But you know what I think? There is hope・ And you find happiness everywhere 一old couples who've been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties 一just to gain attention. We're so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life's all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry・ And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.Most of us are always depressed and unhappy・ Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely・ All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations (挫折)• And maybe, just maybe, they'll turn into your best friends. They'll make you stronger, they'll help you face reality and they'll teach you to value the little things in life.Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can't find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on."FIND" happiness ——we all think it's some sort of destination. We keep “looking" for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn't really something that we can “fincT・ IFs not a destination, it's not something you find along the road of life; it's a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality・So here are your questions:Are you happy?Have you found what you are looking for?Do you think life is hard?Have a great day, and I hope yoif re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, but I hope you find the strength to face whatever it gives you.11 • What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?A. Hard.B. Easy.C. Possible.D. Impractical・12.According to the third paragraph, many of the authors peers ______ .A.are popular and admiringB.have a bad attitude to lifeC・ suffer from extreme povertyD・ are very generous and wealthy13.Why do most people feel very unhappy?A.They might live a poor life・B.They have difficulty getting best friends.C.They fail to value friendship with others.D.They lack the courage to face difficulties.14.Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?A. Happiness is an attitude・B・ Happiness is too unreal to feel.C・ Happiness is a kind of destination.D. Happiness means that everything goes right.15 The author's purpose in writing this article is to tell us _______ .A. what happiness isB・ where happiness isC.why we feel unhappyD.who controls our happiness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。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fr esh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabe th Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer,my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread(姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36. The text is written mainly to .A. show the importance of reading aloudB. discuss food culture in children’s booksC. provide a new means of family educationD. introduce some interesting books37.

The underlined words “Turkish delight” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to .A. a great timeB. something deliciousC. a trip to TurkeyD. more stories39. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that the author’s family .A. will look for a secret garden in the woodsB. will read The Secret Garden in the open airC. will eat roasted potatoes and eggs at homeD. will cook potatoes and eggs in the woods40. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The taste of a good bookB. The best way to make kids learnC. Eating means more than readingD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsBAbout 18,000 refugees(难民) from Burma have come to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned thelanguage, their parents did not. That made communication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s moth er, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more communicative. As parents, they are also more involved in their children’s school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about communicating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if that’s the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”41. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A local school is providing free English lessons for the poor.B. Refugees from Burma are trying their best to learn English.C. A local school is helping refugees from Burma learn English.D. Refugees from Burma have settled in Howard County, Maryland.42. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Interesting.B. Necessary.C. Surprising.D. Difficult.43. When the refugees from Burma first arrived in Howard County, .A. the children could speak very good EnglishB. the parents liked communicating with the teachersC. the parents could help their children speak EnglishD. neither the children nor the parents could speak English44. What can we learn about Laurel Conran from the passage?A. She mainly teaches English to the local children in a school.B. She often goes to the refugees’ company to teach them English.C.

Britain’s Park Authority has made great efforts to protect these wild areas from over habitation and commercial activities.Mainland England and Wales have the largest number of protected parklands. The first established area was the 1,438 kilometre Peak District. This earliest national park lies in central northern England. Due to its vast natural beauty, the Peak District is thought to be the world’s most visited national park after Japan’s Mount Fuji.In the northwest area of Wales lies Snowdonia National Park. This attractive, mysterious ancient landscape is home to craggy(陡峭的) mountains. Walking trails to Mount Snowdon are just one of several activities exciting to hikers.National parks in the UK can also boas t of having Britain’s largest protected wetland “The Broads” just outside the village of Horning. An ideal spot for families, this 200-mile area combines waterways with an interesting intersection(交叉) of windmills, castles and an ancient Norman church.Spreading across 885 miles of truly impressive rocky land is Lake District National Park. England’s largest park attraction is spread between Edinburgh to the north and Manchester to the south. Although the land itself seems wild, almost 40,000 people live within the park. Within this district’s vast borders we can find over 6,000 archaeological (考古的) sites and monuments dating back to prehistory.The United Kingdom has taken great care to protect its wild open spaces for future generations, and all the parks are adventures waiting to be found which can be enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.46.

Which of the following shows the correct position of Lake District National Park?E=Edinburg M=Manchester L= Lake District National ParkPartⅢWriting (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares with his teachers. To this end, it’s quite necessary to buil d trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction between students and teachers. Also developing mutual (互相的) respect for each other is necessary. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed (轻松的) atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying(欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Teenage life is the “awkward stage” of a person’s development. This is the transition (过渡) from being an innocent, playful child to becoming a fully grown and fully matured adult. However, when at this stage of life, one cannot truly call himself an adult yet nor can he call himself a child. This is why there is often a barrier or a gap for teenagers.Sometimes I feel my parents don’t understand me. Whether it is because of a communication gap or a generation gap, I think they cannot grasp what I’m trying to imply sometimes. They try to force change upon me instead of just letting it happen naturally. I know in myself that I have certain weaknesses th at I have to improve on and I’m trying to but sometimes they just don’t understand.Teenage life is a difficult thing. Just as adults have a lot of responsibilities (责任); so do we and even more. We not only have to look after our physical changes, but also have to deal with our mental, emotional and psychological changes as well. Thus, they can only imagine how we can handle such a stressful life.Some people are even more unfortunate, because they’re not only misunderstood by their parents, relatives, but also by their peers. More often than not, they’re usually alone and are having difficulty socializing with other people. When one has problems, usually the family is the support system. But for these people, they have no one to turn to for help, no one to share their problems with, and no one to release their stress or worries. This creates a psychological (心理的) imbalance that can build up inside that person, whichcan lead to depression. So to prevent this, we need to develop relationships with other people because we need friends to help us and be with us.61. Why do teenagers often have a barrier or a gap?

‘Ⅰ.阅读理解ATwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards.Researchers at Harvard University in the United States did the study.They had about 200 college students play a game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma.The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group.The students played in groups of four.Each player could win points for the group,so they would all gain equally.But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players,at_a_cost_to_the_punisher.Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation.The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least.And the more a group punished itself,the lower its earnings.The group with the most punishment earned 25% less than the group with the least punishment.The other study involved children.Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups.More than 800 children were ages two to four the first time they were tested.More than 700 children were ages five to nine.The two groups were retested four years later,and the study compared the results with the first test.Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs—or intelligence quotients—of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were.In the older group,the difference was almost three points.Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire has written extensively about physical punishment of children.He says the more they are spanked,the slower their mental development.He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.1.Which of the following is TRUE about the game mentioned in the first paragraph?A.Prisoners are more interested in the first game than the university students.B.The game is very popular with the students in Harvard University in the United States.C.The game is played to test whether people are more cooperative on the basis of rewards.D.The game is played in order to encourage the students to cooperate.2.The underlined part in the third paragraph means the punisher will have to ________.A.lose some of his moneyB.lose some of the pointsC.lose all the points of the groupD.gain the points of the punished3.What does the result of the first experiment imply?A.Rewards encourage better cooperation than punishments.B.Individual interests are always a challenge to the group.C.Four members will work better in one group.D.The group that punished most gained nothing eventually.4.What do we know about the second experiment in the passage?A.The whole experiment,including two tests,lasted four years.B.Physical punishment was employed only in the younger group.C.Children in both groups have acquired same IQ development.D.No physical punishment was used in the younger group.5.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.How to Be More Cooperative?B.Punishment or Reward:Which Works Better on Behavior?C.No Punishment in Education!D.Prisoner’s DilemmaBA good sense of humor does a lot of good things for a person.It makes him more likable and increases his attractiveness.Also,people with a good sense of humor tend to be very natural at starting and leading a good conversation.When I was a little girl,my dad always made me laugh by his talks with strangers—let’s say like a waitress.We went out to eat fairly often and he always seemed to have something new to say that was very funny.Then we enjoyed our meal.We would get great service and Dad tipped well.I really don’t remember my mom making me laugh like him.She mostly just laughed with me.The next person who pops into my head is my son.He makes me laugh very often.I begged him after surgery(外科手术)to stop making me laugh because the laughing made my wound hurt.My daughter is fairly quick-witted,too,and her daughter as well.When my granddaughter and my son are together,their talks are delightful and very funny.A meal is so much better when it is eaten over laughter.All my colleagues have different senses of humor and I love all of them.We have a fairly good sense of humor in the office.I would say most of my clients also have a sense of humor.Dealing with them is relaxing.Here are some priceless humor tips on how to improve yours:1.Find the funny side in everything.2.Get together with people who are fun and humorous.3.Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself.4.Read as many funny jokes as possible.Humor is great laughter therapy (疗法).It can really lighten things up in your workplace,in a relationship,and anywhere else.So,use these tips to cultivate your own sense of priceless humor. 6.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A.The way of becoming popular with

It is an exciting tale and a study of human characters・ Living on an island isolated(隔绝)from the world, the hero Robinson Crusoe not only surprisingly survives starving to death and extreme loneliness, but also creates a new comfortable paradise(天堂)through his hard work and ingenuity(仓U造力)• This is the impression given by Robinson to modern readers. Young people especially love Robinson Crusoe^s adventure experiences and creative life.Treasure IslandTreasure Island tells an adventure story about a boy, Jim Hawkins, and his adventures with murderous (凶残的)pirates. The tale is told by Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of a treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of buried treasure・ He fights with the pirates and goes through many difficulties and hardships. In the end he finds the treasure. This romantic novel with a fascinating and interesting plot has great value in literature and has made its writer well-known all over the world・Adventures of Huckleberry FinnAdventures of Huckleberry Finn is commonly regarded as one of the greatest American literature・ It is told in the first person by Huck, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels .It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

That kind of simulation(ttH) technology could be available within the next five years.“Wele talking about reinventing how computers interact with humans/5 said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations(仓U新)IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the company's annual "Five in Five^ list.Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, it,s actually possible・In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos.Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors (传感器)in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules(分子)in your breath. 44It can give you an alarm and says, 'Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately/^ Meyers on says.Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations・ He believes there9s little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives・4.The purpose of the text is to show us _____A.how smart machines will replace humansB・ what our lives will be like in the futureC・ how to go shopping on the InternetD. why IBM wants to invent these smart machines5・ In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may ____ ・A.feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screenB.ask your computer to give you some adviceC.ask your computer to make the decision for youD・ save a lot of money by using a smartphone6.How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick?A.By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath・B.By analyzing your comments about your body condition.C・ By referring your condition to doctors.D・ By asking you to describe how you feel.7.What can we infer from the text?A.The advanced speech recognition system is already available now.B.Extending the sense of touch is the most important object of IBM・C.Students have an important role to play in the future inventions.D・ Personal computers can only be used to recognize images・cOnly about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR(心肺复苏术).Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parentis worst nightmare(噩梦)一her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breath ing・“I noticed he looked pale・ I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp (无力的)Rohm told a local newspaper・"Then I noticed that he looked like he wasn't alive." In dismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help・“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over・ Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, 'Go and ask your parents to call 911," Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking we'd better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared/9 Ethan said・"I told her to push on the baby5s chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the baby5 s head, plug the baby's nose and breathe into the baby's mouth/' Ethan said in an interview・At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again. He spent two nights in a local hospital.

On February 3, a Laysan albatross (黑背信天翁)named Wisdom hatched a healthy chick on a Pacific island near Hawaii. It was the sixth year in a row this bird had hatched a chick.What makes Wisdom so special is that her species normally lives only 12 to 40 years. So not only has she outlived most other Laysan albatrosses by at least two decades, but also remained productive and able to hatch healthy chicks in her 60s・To track a wild bird, biologists often wrap a long-lasting, numbered metal band around one of the bird's legs. Scientists can then recognize a particular bird every time its band comes into view. Chandler Robbins first banded her leg in 1956・ At the time, this biologist from the U.S・ Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that she was already at least 5 years old.Once reaching breeding age, Wisdom and her kin (亲属)return each November to a tiny Pacific island to breed・ At breeding time, the Laysan albatross will scratch out a shallow nest in the ground. A female then lays a single egg. Both she and her mate will take turns incubating (孵化)the egg until it hatches. More than seven out of every ten Laysan albatrosses nest on just one island一Midway Atoll. That9s Wisdom's home・Wild albatrosses often die long before they come close to Wisdom's age. Some are eaten. Others starve to death, get sick or suffer life-threatening injuries from the gears used by fishing boats. Keeping track of such long-lived birds offers scientists an opportunity to learn much about how these animals reproduce, especially late in life. Since she was first banded. Wisdom may have reared as many as 35 chicks.12.What makes Wisdom special?A.She becomes the oldest bird in the world.B.She often flies to a Pacific island to nest.C.She hatched a healthy chick at a very old age.D・ She can hatch a healthy chick almost every year.13.In Paragraph 3, the writer tells us _____ .A.when the albatross hatched its first chickB.how scientists know the albatross9 ageC・ why the albatross lives such a long lifeD.why scientists are interested in the albatross14.What do we know about Laysan albatrosses' breeding habits?A. They begin to incubate eggs in October・B・ All albatrosses like nesting on the same island・C.A female albatross hatches one chick each time・D.Male albatrosses are not responsible for incubating eggs・15.What is the best title of the text?A.An albatross outlives most of other albatrossesB.An albatross attracts scientists' attentionC.An albatross hatched a healthy chick at 62D・ An albatross was seen again 56 years later第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项屮选出能填入空口处的最佳选项。

In fact, the situation has 42 only in recent years. When I was a boy in London thirty years ago, I was often unable to see 43 of the road when I left home on winter mornings.The key steps that have turned London into one of the 44 cities in the world were 45 at the end of the 1950s.

However, they can also cause problems and unhealthy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the world's highest percentage of high-speed Internet services. It has also a high number of game players who are addicted to online games.In 2004, a young man died after playing online games almost nonstop for 86 hours. A 12-year-old boy stole $16,000 from his father to continue online games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In 2005, it was reported that about 80 percent of China's 13.8 million online game players were under 25.And many of these were said to be addicted. Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.Dr. Sue-Huei Chen, a psychologist (心理学家), discovered some signs of at-risk people. Such people often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skills. They feel the need to spend more and more time online, so they may be absent fromschool or family. And they become upset if anyone tries to limit their online game playing.56. The passage is mainly aboutA. online game addictionB. problems caused by online gamesC. computer problems in AsiaD. problems caused by young people57. In the passage, the writer tells us a fact thatA. South Korea has a large number of Internet schoolsB. More and more young men are stealing money for online gamesC.

Only now, 20 years later, can she and her father talk about it. Laughing about it may take another 15 years.The house started to fill up with her friends, and then another group of teenagers arrived. She can recall the glass front door being broken and some of her older friends taking the key to her father's very expensive car and driving round the city. But the worst part was when her father came home and discovered that 30 computer games were missing. He telephoned the parents of all his daughter's friends. In the end, a boy from a very wealthy family brought them back."Everything was terrible," says Rochelle. "The party was bad enough, but to have my dad ringing everyone like that, I felt even worse"Zoe Marks remembers a party she had. "Someone filled the bath with water, then added tomato sauce, and everyone jumped in. They then went down to the beach to go swimming, where someone stole most of their clothes. At six in the morning, their poor parents received a phone call, asking them to come and collect them."Many parents return home to find their houses emptied of everything except the dog food. At the end of Luke Parton's party, his father (a policeman) came home to find some young guests hadeaten a kilo packet of smoked fish. He said he was going to test for fingerprints (指纹) to find out who had opened the packets. The boy who had done it admitted it immediately, and his parents were sent a bill.So stay at home quietly.

This passage is mainly written forA. party hostsB. teenagersC. policemenD. schoolsCWhen it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we've found that sometimes we'd rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron's own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.In Darkest A frica by Henry Monton Stanley. It's about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.A Traveler's Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.The MieheUn Red Guide: France 2005 Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.The Past Is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal. This great book of an armchair exploration tells us what has happened in the past and shows the relationship between us and the past travelers.64. The underlined phrase "armchair travelers" in the first paragraph refers to thosewho .A. can only travel with special equipment for the disabledB. like to write about their strange traveling experiencesC. find fun teaching others how to travel to other placesD. like to read about travels instead of traveling themselves65.

This passage is writtenA. to warn readers against travelingB. to sell more books about travelsC. as an introduction to famous travelersD. to tell people where to travelDDo you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body, not in your short-term memory bank.Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B" could stand for "brain", if you're one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds.Even when you're sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work properly, it must be fed. Even if you're not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture, walnuts (核桃) are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain. And according to Chineseculture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you'll live longer.However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind almost everything" even on those days when life's challenges are sending you in a billion directions.68. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means .A. menuB. dinnerC. calorieD. cookie69. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned toA. support the idea of long lifeB. show the importance of vitamin B-1C. warn the readers of two organsD. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds70. What can we conclude from the passage?A. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.B. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.C. It doesn't make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.D. Life's challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.71. The best title for the passage could beA. Causes of Memory LossB. Vitamin B-2 and MemoryC. Forgetful? But not BrainD. Chinese Culture of Long LifeE"How come the boys always get to go somewhere but we have to stay here?" Toby, my cousin, complained. Soon we had an idea of finding a hidden treasure, but we had to find out how to make this happen. We went upstairs to my parents' bedroom which was always tidy and smelled like my mother's perfume. Opening the silver lid of the glass jar, we looked nervously inside and removed my mother's pretty pearl ring and diamond ring. Mom only wore them when she got dressed up to go somewhere, so Toby believed she wouldn't miss them. We wrapped them up tightly in toilet paper and quickly ran out into the big field where we often pretended tO ride wild horses.We brought along a big kitchen spoon to dig a hole and buried the rings. "Don't tell anyone." Toby made me promise. For some unknown reason we forgot to go back later.It was almost a week before my mother realized her rings were missing and she was driven mad. The look on my face must have been a dead give-away and it wasn't long before I told the whole story about my adventure with Toby. Only then did I realize theseriousness of my crime."Show me where," my mother demanded. So off we went for the rings. But I couldn't remember exactly where! We dug in several places without success. Eventually we gave up, and amazingly my mother didn't shout at me.One day about six years later, a farmer found a pearl ring in the soil and he kindly handed itover to my mother, who was overjoyed. This discovery started an exciting new search. But the other was never discovered.Many years later, I noticed my sister wearing the pearl ring. When I asked my mother how, she answered, "Well, I always planned to give my good rings to my daughters someday and you were supposed to get the diamond one!"72. The author and Toby decided to find a hidden treasure, becauseA. they had found some somewhereB. they wanted to do something excitingC. Toby was wise enough to know where to findD. they were told mom had hidden some73. Probably, the author's motherA. was not strict with her childrenB. had quite a lot of jewelryC. was not very wealthyD. had a pair of valuable jars74. What can we infer about the diamond ring from the passage7A. The author's sister secretly dug it out for herself.B. The farmer kept it for himself.C. It was already given to the author's sister.D. The author felt regretful about it.75. The best title for the passage could beA. Just PunishmentB. Hidden MemoryC. Happy ChildhoodD.

In fact, they are so endangered that they are believed to be even extinct by now. They were found in the southeastern area of the US and Cuba. Some researchers said there might be a small population living in Florida or Arkansas, but confirmed news has still not been received.The Amur LeopardThe Amur Leopards that lived in the snowy and remote areas of Northern China and Korea were already few and rare. And now due to road building, over logging, and illegal hunting, this beautiful species is also about to die out. In fact, a recent survey showed there are only 14 to 20 adults which have been confirmed to be living in a forest.The Javan RhinocerosIf you thought that of all the rhinoceros species, the Black Rhino was an endangered one, think again. Because according to a survey, it is estimated that only 40 to 60 of the Javan rhinos are left remaining in the Ujung Kulon National Park, which is located on the western part of an island in Indonesia. Facing extinction because of its precious horns, this rare species came under protection. However, people still might not be able to save it because of scarce (不足的) mating population. The Northern Right WhaleThe Northern Right Whale got its name back in the 1970s by people who were making sure it would go extinct quickly — the fishermen. The Right Whale possesses good quantities of oil which is why it is hunted down. Moreover, it floats atop water when dead. It makes it easy to handle. It is protected now, but it is feared that extinction might not be forbidden.40. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .A. the Amur Leopard is good at adapting to new environmentB. human activities played a key role in putting the Amur Leopard in dangerC. the Amur Leopard was forced to live in the remote areas by human activitiesD. the extinction of the Amur Leopard has nothing to do with the loss of habitat41. What can we learn about the Black Rhino according to the passage?A. It is not as endangered as the Javan Rhino.B. There are only 40 to 60 of them left in the world.C. They mainly live in the Ujung Kulon National Park.D. It is the most endangered of all the rhinoceros species.42. We can infer from the passage that Javan rhinos are endangered mainly because of .A. road buildingB. over loggingC. illegal huntingD. natural disasters43. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Being easy to kill.B. Floating atop when dead.C. Having good quantities of oil.D. The reason why it is hunted down.CDear Roger,There’s a sentence in the extra credit story of the June 17 issue: “I’m not referring to First Dog Bo.” Can you tell m e why the last three words are capitalized (大写)?Thank you very much!— Kevin Roger says:It means to be playful and refers to the president’s family. In the US, the wife of the president has been referred to as the First Lady for 150 years, as a title of respect. So, sometimes journalists will make a joke by referring to the “First Daughter”, or, in this case, the “First Dog”.Dear Roger,I don’t understand the following sentence in Screenplay of the last issue: “So much fo r sisterhood; here come the bride wars.” What’s the meaning of “so much for sisterhood”?— Linda Roger says:It’s a very common usage. It’s dismissive (不予理会的) and means something like “that’s all that needs to be said or done about that” or “nothing more needs to be said about that”. In this case, it’s “Well, no need to talk about sisterhood anymore because it looks like it’s dead.”Dear Roger,The words of wisdom for the last issue seem interesting, but I don’t quite get it. What does G. K. Chesterto n imply by “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity”? Can you share your explanation with me?— Xu Yan Roger says:He’s being serious and humorous at the same time by implying that good people (“angels”) are respected (“fly” high) because they don’t take themselves seriously, while bad people are finally destroyed because they take themselves too much seriously. To “take sth lightly” mean s to treat it in a light way. To “fall” means to fail. “Gravity” is a pun (双关语) here: it’s the force that holds us on the Earth but it also means “deeply/deadly serious”.44. According to the passage, what’s the problem with Linda?A. She has no sense of numbers.B. She fails to understand the meaning of “so much for sisterhood”.C. She doesn’t know the meaning of sisterhood.D. She fails to understand the meaning of “bride wars”.45. According to Roger, in which of the following situations can you use “so much for…”?A. Class is over and the teacher wants to dismiss his students.B. Someone has helped you and you want to show your thanks.C. You step on someone’s foot and want to make an apology.D. Your friends want to be off and you want them to stay a little longer.46. According to what Roger explains to Xu Yan, which of the following can be regarded as a pun?A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.B. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tired.47. What do you guess Roger most probably be?A. The host of an English program.B. An English expert working for an English paper.C. An editor working for an English paper.D. An English teacher working for a foreign language institute.DOne night, a black ship sails through the dark ocean near Indonesia. The ship’s crew wear black paint on their hands and faces and dark clothing. The ship quietly slides next to a Dutch trading ship. Then — the crew attack!This type of scene occurred frequently during the 19th century. At that time, the Dutch ruled Indonesia. But they could not stop the pirates(海盗) from the local Bugis people group. These pirates, desiring both independence and wealth, usually attacked without warning. According to some, the Bugis terrified the Europeans so much that European stories mentioned them. Parents began warning their children that if they didn’t behave, the “bogeyman” would get t hem.But Bugis sailors also traded peacefully with people throughout Indonesia and beyond. They traveled to Northern Australia to exchange goods with the Aborigines(土著居民). Bugis traders stayed there for several months each year and built some buildings that still exist. They also influenced the local language and artwork. Today, the Bugis continue to sail and trade throughout Indonesia. They are famous for selling tires, wood, food and cloth. Their ships are still built using the traditional design but now come equipped with motors.However, most Bugis are not sailors but rice farmers who live on Sulawesi, Indonesia’s third-largest island. They sometimes fish or sell handmade products like beautiful silk clothing for extra money. Women, in particular, often sell food and cloth in rural markets.Bugis houses are built on stilts (桩子) that can rise three or more meters above the ground. But during farming seasons, they often sleep in simple shelters on the ground to be nearer to their fields. Some use tractors (拖拉机) to prepare their fields, while others use cows.In the 20th century, the Bugis continued to oppose European control of their home. But instead of becoming pirates, some have joined the movement that achieved Indonesian independence. As a result, some Bugis now hold influential positions in the Indonesian government.48. According to Paragraph 2, the “bogeyman” must be .A. interestingB. horribleC. confusingD. crazy49. Unlike traditional ones, the modern Bugis ships .A. are powered by enginesB. travel around the worldC. are only used in businessD. are built using new design50. What can we learn from the passage?A. Bugis traders built many buildings for the Aborigines.B. Most Bugis farmers are women.C. Bugis prepare their fields in different ways.D. Today, Indonesia is completely ruled by the Bugis.Part Ⅲ Writing (20marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The apple is a round shaped fruit that grows on small deciduous(落叶的) trees. There are numerous varieties of apples: Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Fuji and many more. They come in different colors such as red, yellow and green varying in flavor and sweetness.Apples are all good for your health. They can improve your overall health by preventing heart disease, improving memory, maintaining blood sugar levels, reducing risk of stroke (中风), reducing risk of cancer and more! In addition, apples also can help make skin look younger, especially the Granny Smith, Red Delicious and Fuji kinds.Apples can be eaten in so many ways! Bake them, use them in desserts or eat them whole! Add them in fruit salads, eat with cheese, or add a fun flavor on top or all over! You can eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner! You can also eat them as a snack, or use them for fun party games!However, there are some things you must pay attention to when you want to eat apples. For example, you must eat clean apples. Some apples are grown with the use of insecticides (杀虫剂) or protective waxes, containing unhealthy remains. So wash your apples with soap and water. Of course, you’d better buy organic apples if you can.If you want to buy apple juice, just be careful and read the nutritional label on the container. Avoid drinks with high sugar content. Instead, look for 100% natural fruit juices or make your own freshly squeezed (榨), homemade juices. Consider buying organic apple juice, too.CAUTION! Apples can turn rotten. Watch for signs of brown spots or soft texture when squeezed. In order to avoid becoming sick, don’t eat apples that have been rotten.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Babies work hard to get ready to talk. They listen attentively, and at around 6 months of age start to babble (含糊不清地说) with passion. A new study suggests babies might also learn to talk by using their eyes.“Babies start to lip-read when they learn to babble,” said David Lewkowicz, a psychologist who worked on the study. He and Amy Hansen-Tift, both of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, conducted the experiments demonstrating babies’ lip-reading skills. The scientists studied 179 babies from families where English is the main language spoken at home.The children, who were divided into groups by age, wore special devices while they watched videos of a woman speaking English or speaking Spanish, which was a foreign language to the babies. The device kept track of where the child looked while watching each video.Babbling babies between ages 8 and 12 months old watched the speaker’s lips during every video. Babies who could talk also watched the speaker’s lips —but only while viewing Spanish videos. While watching the English videos, babies who could talk watched the woman’s eyes. The scientists say these findings suggest that babies who already use words can look away from a speaker’s mouth and toward the eyes for additional, nonverbal (非语言的) communication clues.The new study is useful for understanding how babies learn to speak, but it also might help researchers understand disorders like autism (孤独症). Children with autism have a hard time communicating clearly and forming relationships with people. Previous studies have shown that children with autism watch people’s mouths and avoid eye contact by the time they’re 2 years old. The new experiments suggest long lip-reading in younger children may be an early sign of autism.61. Why did the researchers make the children wear special devices during the experiments?
