There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day ____53____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____54____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____55____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____56____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The ____57____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____58____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone ____59____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____60____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Last Robot-Proof Job in America?You can get most food, such as warm cookies or vodka, to your doorstep in minutes. But try getting a red snapper (红鲷鱼). Until recently, if you could obtain it, it would likely have been pre-frozen and shipped in from overseas.A new tech startup is aiming to ____61____ this situation. Based inside the Fulton Fish Market, a seafood wholesale market, the startup, called , allows customers across the whole county, both restaurants and individuals, to buy from the market. The fish is shipped ____62____, rather than frozen, thanks to an Amazon advanced logistics system. Mike Spindler, the company’s C.E.O., said recently, “I can get a fish to Warren Buffett, that’s as fresh as if he’d walked down to the pier (码头) and bought it that morning.”There is one thing, ____63____, that the sophisticated logistics system cannot do: pick out a fish. If Warren Buffett orders a red snapper, the company needs to ____64____ that his fish is actually red snapper, and not some other. Accordingto the ocean-conservation organization, more than 20% of the seafood in restaurants and grocery stores in America is ____65____. For this task, the company has employed Robert DiGregorio, a forty-seven-year veteran of the business, who possesses a blend of judgement and ____66____ knowledge that, so far, computers have yet to replicate.“____67____ the food-safety stuff, our business could be any market from the last three thousand years of human history,” Spindler told me. He is experienced in the ____68____ business. When he arrived at the fish market in 2014, people were cautious. “They thought selling fish on the Internet was ____69____.” DiGregorio said, speaking for the fishmongers (鱼贩). “They didn’t see how it could possibly work.” Five years ago, DiGregorio didn’t know how to use a computer, but when the Web-site people arrived at the market, he sensed an opportunity. Together, they’ve created a human-machine fish-buying operation.By I a.m. each night, the company ____70____ from around the country and sends them to DiGregorio. He heads into the market, carrying his tablet computer. The company’s algorithms (算法) ____71____ data on their sources and can tell DiGregorio, for example, which stall to go to get the best tuna (金枪鱼). The computer is a “learning system,” so if DiGregorio makes a choice it didn’t ____72____, it asks, “Was the fish not available? Was it damaged?” All that information is fed back in for next time.Then, what can a fishmonger see that a computer can’t? DeGregorio showed me his part of the ____73____ process.“I’m assessing a few things,” he said. First,____74____. Fish should have “nice” slime (粘液). Then, smell. He sniffed the air above the box. “When fish goes bad, it smells like ammonia.” Besides, to get the best stuff, “Fishmongers have to have a relationship with you. To trust you.” He added.Is he never ____75____ being replaced by the learning system of computers? DiGregorio shrugged. “By the time they invent a computer that can do what I can do,” he said, “I’ll be dead.”61. A. maintain B. remedy C. substitute D. recognize62.

A. concerned about B. eager for C. delighted with D. capable ofSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. 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 you have just read.(A)For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hittingeach other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a certain, I just say, “No thanks, I’m amusic,””says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”76.Which of the following is true of amusics?A.Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B.They love places where they are likely to hear music.C.They can easily tell who different songs apart.D.Their situation is well understood by musicians.77.According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who________.A.dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. Has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system78.In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that________.A.her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB.she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC.her problem could be easily explainedD.she were able to meet other amusics79.What is the passage mainly concerned with?A.Amusics’ strange behaviorsB. some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structureD. Identification and treatment of amusics.(B)How to place an Order of Custom Jeans▶Select the Fabric & Styles→Fabrics---Select the Fabric from our large collection of Denim Fabric Samples→Special Wash---Select your favorite special wash treatment to make your jeans look stylish→Thread Color---Select the thread color you want.

But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal.In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive--an alarming trend that is linked to climate change, says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany, whose team tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are.” he says. It is no surprise to scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the drop calls for urgent attention. Oxygen levels in some tropical regions have dropped by an astonishing 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent studies reveal. Levels have dropped less significantly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.A warming ocean losses oxygen for two reasons. First, the warmer a liquid becomes, the less gas it can hold. That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at depth.Ocean animals, large and small, however, respond to even slight changes in oxygen by seeking refuge in higher oxygen zones or by adjusting behavior, Oschlies and others in his field have found. These adjustments can expose animalsto new predators or force them into food-scarce regions. Climate change already poses serious problems for marine life, such as ocean acidification, but deoxygenation is the most pressing issue facing sea animals today,Oschlies says. "they all have to breathe.”Aside from food web Problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp(虾) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are. But all animals will feel the impact of deoxygenation because they all have evolved their oxygen capacity for a reason, says Oschlies."Any drop in oxygen is going to damage survivability and performance, "he says.83. According to the first two paragraphs, what worries scientists most?A. The worsening deoxygenation in the warming oceanB. The survival of predator and various marine animalsC. The alarmingly changeable oxygen levels in the oceanD. The lack of attention to the warming of tropical oceans.84. Which of the following is a reason for the oxygen loss in the ocean?A. Polar ice melting consumes much oxygen in the ocean.B. Global warming reduces the amount of oxygen in the air.C. The surface polar ice water prevents oxygen going downD. Salty water holds less gas in the increasingly warmer ocean85. What can be inferred from the passageA. Ocean deoxygenation changes some animals' natural territories.B. Ocean acidification is more serious a problem than deoxygenation.C. Not all ocean animals are bothered by the decreasing oxygen levels.D. Some animals reduce their movements in order to absorb more oxygen86. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Oxygen Levels of Marine LifeB. Ocean Warming Affects Food WebC. The Survivability of Ocean AnimalsD. The Ocean Is Running Out of BreathSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

In 1964,four in ten teens in the Us smoked; today fewer than two in ten do.___________87_______________.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General s Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseaseswas major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation’s attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool.Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces, Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws___88____. If you can stop them from smoking, you’ve won the war. Few people start smoking after turning eighteen. _____89_______.The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of$2. 42 on every pack -three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low(60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York's, Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor._____90__________. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3, 000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not wonIV.

The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face,____91___(say) nothing of preparing us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree ____92__(come) in the future. Yet we have an annual vaccine, and everyone _______93____(qualify) should get it without question. The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much ____94___(effective) flu vaccine.In the U. S alone, seasonal flu can cause up to 36 million infections, three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and 56,000 deaths. We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves, our loved ____95____ and our communitiesWhy not? We haven't been hit by _____96____ truly destructive widespread disease in a long time. So as individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quickly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.The risk of continued foot dragging is huge. In a severe widespread disease, the U.S. health care system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.The cost of preventing epidemics is roughly a tenth of ____97___ it costs to cope with them when they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment ___98____ the development of a universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction. 99. headlines about the flu are gone, hospitals are emptied of flu patients, and school and workplace absence rates decline, we go back to business as usual.Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu. They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.

Both books have similar 31 and, in my opinion, a similar message. They are 32 for ages seven to thirteen, though as a(n) 33 , I love them, too. The first one is The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes, which is about a poor girl who moves to a new 34 and tells the other students that even though she wears rags, she has one hundred 35 dresses in her closet. The students know she is 36 , and they pick on herand call her names often. In the 37 , the girl moves away, and the children in the class find out that she did have one hundred beautiful dresses—but they were just 38 the girl had done of the dresses she envisioned (想象) in her 39 . I love discussing this book with kids because it covers many levels: 40 children who are different, explaining why someone might be41 , the emotions of a student, not making quick judgments about others. It touches on several42 and really helps students see the point of view of others.Another book that 43 with compassion (同情) is The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis. It is about an elderly lady who 44 one hundred pennies in a box, one penny for each 45 of her life. Throughout the book she tells her grandson, Michael, the meaning of each penny and stories that go 46 with it. Anyone who has an elderly grandmother can relate to this story, 47 it is also good for kids who don’t have a close 48 with an elderly person. It helps to show them that even though someone might be old, he or she 49lived with energy and spirit, just like a kid. It also shows them that each elderly person has a wealth of experiences, heartache, love, wisdom, and memories, and that out of admiration for the long 50 the person has led, each elderly person should be cherished and respected.31.

I’m so glad that day is over. I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The other problem was that I didn’t know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dad’s new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It’s on the 5th floor and … guess what? ... We aren’t allowed to use the lift. I couldn’t believe it.When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn’t know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school has a different timetable—can you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I’m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. I’m worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.So far so good. I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!Jason51.

The text mainly talks about ______.A. how to take a good pictureB. how to join a photography clubC. after-class activities in foreign countriesD. putting on a show in foreign schoolsCLiving abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants getkicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.58. According to the article, studying abroad is truly worthwhile because ______.A. it is an interesting experienceB. it is fun to travel around the worldC. it is an opportunity to develop your careerD. all your friends are doing so59. A school ranking list tells you ______.A. how much the courses costB. the names of all the professorsC. how good the school is compared to othersD. where the school is located60. What are the three basic steps when you apply?A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.B. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.C. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.D. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.61. The underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. fail to get to the next roundB. lose money in the first roundC. get accepted in the next roundD. get kicked by a professorDHave you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don’t talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you’ve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and you’re on the 18th plane in line, you’re going to be 40 minutes late.”Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather isbad. This rule could cause even more delays.The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.62. FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ______ between two regions.A. different languagesB. technical misunderstandingC. misunderstanding of the rulesD. lack of communication63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?A. A growing number of flights.B. Bad weather.C. A growing population.D. Lack of new technology.64. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. FAA is a national center which controls all the flight mattersB. FAA has taken control to solve airport delaysC. in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutesD. safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays65. Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?A. FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays.B. Airport delays are on the rise.C. Travel problems cost billions in lost work time.D. FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.66. For most young people, there is a ▲ (渴望) to be free to do what they want.67. The teenage years can be a very difficult time for young people as they ▲ (奋斗) tofind where they fit in.68. Up to now, we have ▲ (组织) three group evenings and a concert.69.

For teenagers, engaging in regular reading habits offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond the classroom. In this article, we will explore four key advantages that reading brings to the lives ofadolescents.1.Improved Academic PerformanceResearch consistently shows that students who read frequently score higher on standardized tests and perform better in all subjects, not just English or literature. Reading enhances vocabulary, comprehension skills, and critical thinking, all of which are essential for academic success.

Escaping into a good book provides a temporary break from the pressures of school, peers, and daily life. It offers a safe space for imagination and creativity, allowing readers to experience different emotions and scenarios without real-world consequences. This mental escape can lead to reduced stress levels and improved emotional resilience.4.Improved Concentration and FocusIn today’s digital age, where distractions are abundant, reading helps teenagers develop the ability to concentrate and focus for extended periods.

This was no ordinary seed; it had dreams, aspirations, much like you and I. Its dream was to become a tree, towering and proud, providing shade to those who sought refuge under its branches.One day, a gust of wind carried the seed away from its home. It traveled far and wide, over hills and valleys, across rivers and through forests. Eventually, the seed landed in a fertile patch of soil. There it lay dormant for what seemed an eternity, waiting for the right conditions to begin its transformation.Spring arrived with showers of rain, and the seed felt the warmth of thesun for the first time. It began to sprout, pushing through the earth with all its might until it emerged as a tiny green shoot. As seasons passed, the shoot grew taller and stronger, its roots delving deep into the ground, anchoring it firmly.Years went by, and the seed had indeed become the tree it always dreamed of being. Its branches spread wide, offering shelter to birds and squirrels. In the summer, its leaves provided a canopy of shade, and in the fall, they turned golden before falling to the ground, enriching the soil for future generations.The journey of the seed teaches us about patience, perseverance, and the power of dreams. It shows us that even the smallest beginnings can lead to the most magnificent endings, if we stay true to our inner calling and nurture our potential.Questions:1.What was the seed’s dream?2.How did the seed travel to a new location?3.Describe the process of the seed becoming a tree.4.What lessons can be learned from the seed’s journey?5.Why do you think the author chose a seed as the main character of this story?Answers:1.The seed’s dream was to become a tall and proud tree providing shade to others.2.The seed traveled to a new location carried by a gust of wind.3.The seed sprouted after lying dormant, then grew into a shoot with thehelp of spring rains and sunlight, eventually becoming a strong tree over many years.4.Lessons include the importance of patience, perseverance, nurturing one’s potential, and staying true to one’s aspirations.5.The seed was chosen because it symbolizes growth from small beginnings to magnificent endings, making it a relatable metaphor for personal development.五、语言运用第一节 _ 完形填空(15分)Oxford Treehouse Edition English Grade 1A Mid-term Exam PaperV.

The Willow Creek Library stood tall on the main street, its wooden sign reading “Willow Creek Library” in elegant, ornate letters. The library had seen many changes over the years, but one thing remained constant: its warm and inviting atmosphere.One sunny afternoon, a young girl named Lily wandered into the library. She had always been fascinated by the smell of old books and the quiet rustle of pages turning. As she browsed the aisles, she came across a dusty, leather-bound book with a title she c ouldn’t quite make out. Curiosity got the better of her,and she opened it to find a collection of tales from a bygone era.Lily spent hours reading the book, enchanted by the stories of love, adventure, and courage. As she finished the last page, she realized that the book had a mysterious message written on the inside cover. It read, “The secret to life lies in the pages of this book. Find the hidden key to unlock its true power.”Determined to uncover the secret, Lily began her search. She visited the library every day, reading every book she could find, hoping to find the key. One day, while reading a book about ancient history, she stumbled upon a paragraph that mentioned a hidden room in the library’s attic. She quickly climbed the rickety stairs to the attic and found a small, locked box.Inside the box was a key with a peculiar design. Lily knew that this must be the key to unlock the secret. She carefully inserted it into the lock on the leather-bound book and turned it. To her amazement, the book opened to reveal a map of the town. The map had a red X marked on a specific location.Lily followed the map to the old, abandoned mill on the outskirts of town. As she approached the mill, she noticed a series of symbols carved into the stone wall. These symbols matched the design on the key she had found in the box. With a deep breath, she pushed open the heavy wooden door and stepped inside.Inside the mill, Lily found a hidden chamber filled with ancient artifacts and a single, glowing orb. She knew this must be the source of the library’s magic. As she touched the orb, a soft, warm light enveloped her, and she felta surge of energy flow through her.In that moment, Lily understood the true power of the library. It was not just a place to read books, but a portal to a world of endless possibilities. And with the knowledge she had gained, she knew that she was ready to face whatever challenges life might bring.Cloze Test Question:15.The library had been a local landmark for generations, making ita_______fixture in the town.A. celebratedB. prominentC. traditionalD. historicalAnswer: B. prominent六、语言运用第二节 _ 语法填空(15分)Sure, I can create a sample grammar completion exercise for you as if it were part of an English midterm exam for a senior high school student using the Oxford译林version curriculum.

This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup . The World Cup is held every four years.Remember 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture called “Dream World Cup” in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there.Are you a football fan? The World Cup makes more and more people interested in football. Teenagers like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favorite players on the walls of their rooms. That is the way to show their love for the World Cup as children in Japan .46.If a country wants to take part in the World Cup, she must have_______.A. many football fansB.a very good teamC.many football playersD.a big playground47.The next World Cup will be held in_________.A. 2012B. 2010C. 2008D.200748.In the pict ure “Dream World Cup” the children drew many things except_______.A. people playing footballB.pictures of some football starsC. a sunny skyD.flowers49.In “Dream World Cup”, the children drew the flags of some countries_________.A. to show their love for their own countryB. to tell the people their storiesC. to show their good wishes for the football teamsD. to show their new ideas about football50.Many teenagers own the pictures of some football stars because________.A. they are interested in footballB.they are football fansC.the stars are their favorite playersD.all of A,B and C(B)One of the favorite foods in the United States is the hamburger, a kind of flat round bread with fine-cut beef in between. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes to get it over the counter, and carry it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their homes. At some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without leaving their cars.There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States. Most of the restaurants sell hamburgers or other popular foods among Americans. In addition, there are many fast food restaurants that serve Chinese food, Italian food, chicken, seafood and ice-cream. The idea of a fast food restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food can be found in one.]Fast food restaurants are popular because they show the American way of life. First, they are not formal restaurants. People wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. Second, they are fast. People who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their food or waiting while someone else prepares it. In fast food restaurants the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it. Finally, most food in a fast food restaurant is not expensive. Therefore, people can often eat at a fast food restaurant without spending too much money, while they may not be able to go to more expensive restaurants very often.51.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Chinese food is also served in some fast food restaurants.B. People can have almost every kind of food in fast food restaurants.C. Fast food is usually expensive.D. Fast food can be taken out of the restaurants.52.food restaurants are popular because they________.A. are manyB. are fastC. are expensive restaurantsD. serve expensive food53.According to the writer, American people________.A. are always busyB. prefer ordinary type of dressC. do not want to spend too much time preparing their foodD. go to more expensive restaurant very often54.According to the passage, the favorite restaurants in the U.S. are_________.A. the Chinese restaurantsB. the fast food restaurantsC. more expensive restaurantsD. less expensive restaurants55.The best title for this passage would be_______.A. Fast Food Restaurants in the U.S.B.The Favorite Food in the U.S.C. The American Way of LifeD.Different Kinds of Restaurants(C)As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself’(DIY) trend(趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.“We needed furniture(家具) for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last mont h, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to s ave money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer’, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.56.We can learn from the text that many newly married people_______.A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things57.John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to_______.A. run a DIY shopB.make or repair thingsC. save time and moneyD. improve the quality of life58.When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim______.A. makes shoes in his homeB. does extra work at nightC. does his own car and home repairsD. keeps house and looks after his children59.Jim Hatfield decided to become a do- it- yourselfer when _______.A. his car repairs cost too muchB. the car repair class was not helpfulC. he could not possibly do two jobsD. he had to raise the children all by himself60.What would be the best title for the text?A.

Both books have similar 31 and, in my opinion, a similar message. They are 32 for ages seven to thirteen, though as a(n) 33 , I love them, too. The first one is The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes, which is about a poor girl who moves to a new 34 and tells the other students that even though she wears rags, she has one hundred 35 dresses in her closet. The students know she is 36 , and they pick on herand call her names often. In the 37 , the girl moves away, and the children in the class find out that she did have one hundred beautiful dresses—but they were just 38 the girl had done of the dresses she envisioned (想象) in her 39 . I love discussing this book with kids because it covers many levels: 40 children who are different, explaining why someone might be41 , the emotions of a student, not making quick judgments about others. It touches on several42 and really helps students see the point of view of others.Another book that 43 with compassion (同情) is The Hundred Penny Box by Sharon Bell Mathis. It is about an elderly lady who 44 one hundred pennies in a box, one penny for each 45 of her life. Throughout the book she tells her grandson, Michael, the meaning of each penny and stories that go 46 with it. Anyone who has an elderly grandmother can relate to this story, 47 it is also good for kids who don’t have a close 48 with an elderly person. It helps to show them that even though someone might be old, he or she 49lived with energy and spirit, just like a kid. It also shows them that each elderly person has a wealth of experiences, heartache, love, wisdom, and memories, and that out of admiration for the long 50 the person has led, each elderly person should be cherished and respected.31.

I’m so glad that day is over. I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible.I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now.First of all, we had to meet outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The other problem was that I didn’t know anyone. My family moved over the summer holidays, because of Dad’s new job. So now I have to try to make some new friends. Standing in front of the school this morning, I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She took us to our classroom. It’s on the 5th floor and … guess what? ... We aren’t allowed to use the lift. I couldn’t believe it.When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn’t know anyone. He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom, out of breath! He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good.We spent all morning with Mrs. Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school has a different timetable—can you believe it? Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I’m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun. I’m worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room! How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me?Lunchtime was OK. After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was complicated and difficult and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looks interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived.So far so good. I’m quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!Jason51. How did the author feel on the first day at his new school?A. Terrible.B. Good.C. Worried.D. Funny.52.

Let’s see how kids in foreign countries spend their free time!Mess around with Dress-upDo your parents have any old clothes? See if you can get an old box and start collecting hats, shoes and clothes now! Then, when your friends come over after school, you can play dress-up. See if you can make yourself into a doctor, or a cowboy, or even a spaceman! Use glitter paint and old material to decorate the clothes the way you like them.If you are really clever, you could even put on a show for your family! Let your imaginationrun wild!①Want to learn new things after school? Want to make new friends who aren’t in your class? You can get both of them in clubs. In other countries’ schools, there are usually all kinds of clubs for kids to join. There is French club, student government, theatre, choir (合唱队) and photography club.Take photography club as an example. One may learn all the necessary skills about taking photos. For example, you will learn how to choose a camera, how to use the light and how to develop pictures. Sounds cool, right?But that’s not all. One can also make a lot of friends in clubs. It’s always good to enjoy your spare time with friends, isn’t it?54. What is the best title for ①?A. Start a clubB. Learn a clubC. An important clubD. A photography club55. From the first paragraph we know ______.A. foreign kids don’t like watching TVB. Chinese kids like playing football with foreign kidsC. playing football is not popular with foreign kidsD. foreign kids have some different ways to spend their free time56. When you join a photography club, you CANNOT ______.A. enjoy your free timeB. get a camera for freeC. make some new friendsD. learn to take pictures57. The text mainly talks about ______.A. how to take a good pictureB. how to join a photography clubC. after-class activities in foreign countriesD. putting on a show in foreign schoolsCLiving abroad to study can certainly be an interesting experience but is that alone a good enough reason for spending years far away from home? To make the experience truly worthwhile, there has to be a goal behind the decision to study abroad. This may be a wish to perfect language skills in a foreign language environment, or a clever move in your career development. You must also consider the costs, not just of living and studying abroad, but of applying. Most universities now charge application fees for international students.If after considering these points you are sure that you want to apply to study abroad, your next step is to choose the right programme of studies. Research your choices and select carefully. You must do your homework well. Most universities have information online but you can also email and ask them to send you more details. You can find a lot of information on school ranking from education websites. But read carefully. Different universities emphasize different strengths. Don’t just think about the university’s reputation (名声); look for the most suitable for your goals.Next, you must deal with a large pile of paperwork. This involves filling in application form, preparing your school records, and getting reference letters. Reading the instructions and requirements of the universities carefully is of great importance. Sadly, many fine applicants getkicked out in the first round, simply because they don’t follow the application procedure properly.Money is another important consideration. Some scholarships are provided by governments, others by schools and colleges. This information, again, can be found on the Internet. If you find a scholarship that is suitable for you, follow the application procedure carefully; the earlier you apply, the better your chance of getting it.58. According to the article, studying abroad is truly worthwhile because ______.A. it is an interesting experienceB. it is fun to travel around the worldC. it is an opportunity to develop your careerD. all your friends are doing so59. A school ranking list tells you ______.A. how much the courses costB. the names of all the professorsC. how good the school is compared to othersD. where the school is located60. What are the three basic steps when you apply?A. Buy an airplane ticket, read the instructions and requirements, and study.B. Prepare reference letters, prepare school records, and fill in the application form.C. Prepare school records, do paperwork, and work hard.D. Write a reference letter, do paperwork, and study.61. The underlined phrase “get kicked out in the first round” in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. fail to get to the next roundB. lose money in the first roundC. get accepted in the next roundD. get kicked by a professorDHave you ever had travel problems because your airplane was late? It is a common problem and it is getting worse. Airport delays make people angry and cost the country billions in lost work time.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the government agency that oversees air travel. They studied the problem of airline delays.They found eleven major problems and suggested eleven ways to fix them. Some of the problems are caused because different regions of the country do things differently. The regions don’t talk to each other enough. Some of them need new computers.Also, more planes are flying. A strong economy has more people using airplanes to get around. Airplanes are a form of mass transportation now, like trains and buses were in the past. More planes in the airport cause delays.The airport in San Francisco is a good example. It is growing fast. Many people go through San Francisco to get to other places around the world. Ron Wilson of the San Francisco International Airport says, “If you’ve got 18 flights that all want to take off at 8:00 am and you’re on the 18th plane in line, you’re going to be 40 minutes late.”Weather is another main reason for delays. Weather causes about 70% of delays. Fog or freezing rain can cause delays.The first thing the FAA wants to do is take control away from the regions during heavy traffic times and bad weather. A national center would make decisions on things that affect the whole country. The FAA also wants to put more distance between planes in the sky when the weather isbad. This rule could cause even more delays.The FAA knows that their solutions will not solve the problems with airport delays. But, they hope to make things better. There are just too many planes, too few traffic controllers, and not enough new technology.62. FAA found that some of the delay problems are caused by ______ between two regions.A. different languagesB. technical misunderstandingC. misunderstanding of the rulesD. lack of communication63. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for airline delays?A. A growing number of flights.B. Bad weather.C. A growing population.D. Lack of new technology.64. From the passage we can infer that ______.A. FAA is a national center which controls all the flight mattersB. FAA has taken control to solve airport delaysC. in San Francisco, each plane will delay about 40 minutesD. safety rules during bad weather may cause more delays65. Which of the statements best gives the idea of the passage?A. FAA should make decisions to stop airport delays.B. Airport delays are on the rise.C. Travel problems cost billions in lost work time.D. FAA has taken control of air traffic nationwide.66. For most young people, there is a ▲ (渴望) to be free to do what they want.67.
