An American study asked schoolteachers to look at the effects of sleep restriction(限制） on children between six and twelve years of age.

He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited,but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth…?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room –if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.36. Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wifeD.

Unusual actionsC. Surprising LooksD. Anxious feelingsBEveryone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.Sally says f inding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things cannot always he happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.There are three steps to being friends again:Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.40. Sally wants to tell students the ways to ____.A.get happyB.plant treesC. find friendsD.keep fit41. What makes good friends?

He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the localchildren’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed（瘫痪）her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My d ad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad al so left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad —who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture — loved every single child in that hospital.44.

I'll give you all this.”The doctor was reassured(使安心) and went into the house. When he reached the woman's bedside, it soon became clear to him that he could do little. She was seriously ill, and though he prescribed(开药方) her medicine, she soon died.He told the lawyer he was very sorry, and then asked for the money which he had promised. “Did you kill my wife? “Asked the lawyer. “Of course I didn't,” said the doctor. “Well!

You get nervous, you forget whatyou want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! 52 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making.Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. 53 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.54 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 55 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AA mystery surrounds my grandmother’s collection of salt cellars (盐瓶). No one in the family seems to know when she started collecting them, or exactly how many she had.My grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born. She was a poet, an artist, a food lover and a salt cellar collector. The funny thing about the salts, as she called them —I never once heard her say salt cellar — was that although everybody knew they were her hobby and everyone was always searching for them at yard sales or in stores, nobody seemed to know what they meant to her and they just wanted to make her happy. Grandma kept her salts in a dark wooden corner display case in the living room. Since her death the case has remained exactly as she left it. Grandpa tries his best to preserve his memories of her just as they are.Now I am collecting, too. Collecting memories about my grandmother’s hobby, a way she spent her time. And as I hold one of them in my hand, I picture her holding it in her hand on the day she got it. She is smiling. My mother and her two sisters all have small collections, but my mother admits that she was more interested in finding salts to send to Grandma.Grandma once wrote a poem titled “When April Comes”. The poem contains the line, “When April comes and I am not around, rememb er me when daffodils are found.”Now, Grandpa is working on a poem with the line, “April came and you were not around”.But she was, somehow. She was there in the memories left behind by her possessions.1. In writing the text, the author expressed .A. her sadness at losing her grandmaB. her desire to collect more salt cellarsC. her love for her grandmaD. her curiosity about her grandma’s possessions2. The underlined part “her possessions” in the last paragraph refers to ____.A. Grandma’s experienceB. Grandma’s hobbyC. Grandma’s talentD. Grandma’s strong will3. It can be inferred from the text that the author’s family .A. are very proud of their interesting family historyB. value the wonderful poems Grandma wroteC. are much influenced by Grandma’s interestD. know much about grandparents’ love4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Grandma’s Salt Cellar CollectionB. The Mystery of Grandma’s Salt CellarsC. Grandparents’ Lifelong De votionD. A Family’s Collection HistoryBAsk a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. T he smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjo yed the project and felt more inspired.”Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.5. We can infer from the first paragraph that .A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesB. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needsC. students are free to use their mobile phones at schoolD. mobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school6. When the students first used mobile phones for learning, they .A. all enjoyed the project very muchB. didn’t know what they were used forC. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phonesD. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools7. Who benefited most from the project?A. Older pupils.B. Pupils who were not confident.C. Younger pupils.D. Pupils who were confident.8. The purpose of the text is to tell us that .A. mobile phones can actually help students learnB. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsC. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsD. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent yearsCA patent is the tool that can be used to prevent people from making, selling, offering to sell or importing the patented items without permission. According to the patent law, any person who“invents any new and useful process, machine, or composition (成分) of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent.”The law has described the limits of the field of subject matter that can be patented, and thus it has been held that the laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter. A patent cannot be obtained upon just an idea or suggestion.In order for an invention to be patentable it must be new as described in the patent law, which also provides that an invention cannot be patented if: “(a) th e invention was known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country before the invention by the applicant for patent,” or “(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in this country more than one year before the application for patent in America.”Moreover, even if the subject matter sought to be patented is not exactly shown by the previous art, and involves one or more differences over the most nearly similar thing already known, a patent may still be refused. The subject matter sought to be patented must be fully different from what has been used or described before in the area of technology related to the invention. For example, the substitutions of one color for another, or changes in size, are not patentable.9. We can learn from the text that a patent .A. is a legal limit to the spread of most new inventionsB. is a permit for using a new invention by the inventorC. proves necessary when people want to invent somethingD. serves as an effective tool to protect inventors’ rights10. Which of the following can not be patented according to the patent law?A. A new computing tool.B. A new packaging for a product.C. A new economic theory.D. A new waste treatment method.11. We can infer from the text that .A. it’s not easy to put new inventions into productionB. a patent will not be applicable in some countriesC. there are strict criteria for applying for a patentD. the patent law differs greatly between countries12. The author writes this text in order to tell us .A. what can or can’t be patented under the patent lawB. how to avoid failing to get a patent for a new inventionC. there are few inventions that can be patentedD. how to bring the patent law into forceDWomen facing breast cancer (乳腺癌) report that their cats rank among the most important supporters, alongside parents and siblings (兄弟姐妹) they rely on to help them through their treatment.Fish, a breast cancer survivor, relied on the companionship of her two cats, Phoebe and Jack, during her treatments. “They were the perfect companions when I needed them most,” Fish says. “They gave silent strength.” Fish is far from the only breast cancer survivor to show the power of her cat. A recent Purina Cat Chow national survey of breast cancer survivors with cats points out this important relationship.Dr. Karen Sueda, at the American College of Ve terinary Behaviorists, says, “Whether pet owners are fighting diseases such as breast cancer or going through a rough period in life such as job loss or some stress, their cats often display intuitive (直觉的) behavior of knowing when they need extra support.”Hearing countless stories from breast cancer patients and survivors of how they have been emotionally supported by their cats, Purina Cat Chow honors this exceptional relationship and is doing its part to help the fight against breast cancer. This year, in a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Purina Cat Chow will donate more than $200,000 to the cause and invites consumers to help us raise awareness of breast cancer.Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to find the cures. The organization has invested(投资) $1.3 billion in ending breast cancer, becoming the world’s largest source of non-profit funds (资金) devoted to the fight against breast cancer.13. To many women with breast cancer, cats can .A. bring strength and support to themB. teach them how to relaxC. know about what they think aboutD. help the patients to be optimistic14.

甘肃高二高中英语期末考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by callin g it “The Dump ” .Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.【1】The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A．first published on a newspaper B．awarded ten Academy AwardsC．written in “The Dump”D．adapted from a movie【2】The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A．be very pleased with B．show great respect forC．be much taller than D．show little interest in【3】Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A．Because she was rich enough.B．Because she was injured then.C．Because her husband didn’t like it.D．Because she wanted to write books.【4】Which is the best title for the passage?A．Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B．Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C．An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D．A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.2.People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics（失语症患者）.Such patients can be extremely good at something else.From the changing expressions on speakers' faces and the tones of their voices,they can tell lies from truths.Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage. Recently,scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true.They studied a mixed group of people.Some were normal;others were aphasics.It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches—in most cases,the normal people were fooled by words,but the aphasics were not.Some years ago,Dr.Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics.He mentioned a particular case in a hospital.Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.Since the president had been an actor earlier,making a good speech was no problem for him.He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients.They didn't seem to believe him.Instead,they burst into laughter.The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.He was lying!Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words.However,according to Dr.Sacks,they are more gifted than normal people.Normal people may get carried away by words.Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better,though they cannot understand words. 【1】What is so surprising about aphasics?A．They can fool other people.B．They can tell whether people are lying.C．They can understand language better.D．They can find out the hidden drugs.【2】How did the scientists study aphasics?A．By asking them to watch TV together.B．By organizing them into acting groups.C．By comparing them with normal people.D．By giving them chances to speak on TV.【3】What do we learn from this text?A．What ones says reflects how one feels.B．Aphasics have richer feelings than others.C．Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.D．People poor at one thing can be good at another.3.Do you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life?If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!Position: Volunteer Social Care Assistant(No Pay with Free Meals)Place: ManchesterHours: Part TimeWe are now looking for volunteers to support people with learning disabilities to live active lives! Only 4 days left. Don’t miss the chance of lending your warm hands to help others!Role:You will provide people with learning disabilities with all aspects of their daily lives. You will help them to develop new skills. You will help them to protect their rights and their safety. But your primary concern is to let them know they are valued.Skills and Experience Required:You will have the right values and great listening skills. You will be honest and patient. You will have the ability to drive a car and to communicate in fluent written and spoken English since you’ll have to help those p eople with different learning disabilities. Previous care-related experience will be a great advantage for you.【1】What does the underlined part mean?A．You’ll make others’ lives more meaningful with this jobB．You’ll arrive home just in time from this j obC．You’ll earn a good salary from this jobD．You’ll succeed in getting this job【2】The volunteers’ primary responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities______.A．to get some financial supportB．to properly protect themselvesC．to learn some new living skillsD．to realize their own importance【3】Which of the following can first be chosen as a volunteer?A．The one who can drive a carB．The one who has done similar work beforeC．The one who has patience to listen to othersD．The one who can use English to communicate二、其他Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 【1】 Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.1.1Have faith.【2】 No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience.【3】 It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.2.Be around supportive people.Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you.【4】If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.3.Help others.An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people.【5】As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting（移开）some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.A．Your community helps a lot.B．Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.C．However, I changed my attitude towards failure.D．In this way you shift your focus away from yourself.E.But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.F.You must believe that things will work out well eventually.G.You should become part of a community that cares for one another.三、其他It happened in a holiday when I was 18 years old. I 【1】 (be) to fly to Brussels. I set my alarm【2】 (get) up early. There was one problem: I had never used an alarm before. I was uncertain whether the button on the top had to be up or down. I got little sleep as I worried about it all night.I【3】 (obvious) had made the wrong【4】 (choose) because the next morning I woke only a short while before sunrise. I panicked and grabbed my belongings. I didn’t even have time to shower【5】set off to the airport.Now I had less than an hour before my flighty left.

I had to do something, so I went to him and informed him that I was late for my flight and so we needed to move on. He stared【9】me, but he continued his route at the same pace. When I finally got to the airport, I rushed to find where I had to check in. But I still missed my flight. The lady at the desk felt so sorry for me【10】she offered to change the flight at no extra cost.四、短文改错假如英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改句子，请你修改你同桌写的以下句子。
