河南省鹤壁市淇县第一中学2017-2018学年高二英语下学期第一次月考试题时间：100分钟一．听力（略）二．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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，学出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A.I always avoid going on field investigations with the toxics（有毒物） team, unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s not that I mind the hard work, or am afraid of coming into contact with toxic substances. What I fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do.However, doing field research with the toxic team, all I see and feel is filth---nothing else. Even if I close my eyes, I can smell the smell of food processing, rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers. One morning, I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill. I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill.I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted. But the surface of the water, covered in oil and filth, made me feel as if to vomit(呕吐).All of a sudden, I felt someone hit me on my back, it frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water. I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an oldman standing there. He asked: “Can you catch fish here?” I realized that he though t I was holding a fish pole, so I kept calm and said: “Yes, I heard that there’s a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits.”The old man grew quite curious and replied: “That may be. If a fish can survive in water as dirt y as this, it must have a lot of resistance. So it wouldn’t be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits.”It was clear he was just passing by, so I answered: “Yeah, survival of the fittest. Fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans.”He kept talking to me and didn’t want to leave. He wanted to see whether or notI would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.1.The text is mainly about ____.A. a research report about pollution.B. an exciting experience of fishing.C. an experience of doing research on pollutionD. an unforgettable talk with an old man.2. What is the writer of the text most probably?A. A newspaper reporter.B. A researcher about pollution.C. A fisherman.D. A worker of the textile mill.3. Why did the writer tell the old man he was fishing?A. Because he wanted to satisfy the old man’s curiosity.B. Because the old man was interested in fishing too.C. Because he did the research secretly.D. Because the old man wanted to buy the fish.4. We can infer from the last paragraph that ___.A. the old man had found out the secret.B. the old man wanted to have the fish.C. the writer would have to tell the old man the fact.D. the old man was sent to watch over the writer.B.Hello and welcome.

AIn the few years when I was a teacher I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one of all was the glorious, life-changing power of an encouraging word. I discovered it early while I was still in college completing my student-teaching hours in a local middle school.I had read the work Leo Buscaglia had done with his University of Southern California students. In one exercise Leo and his students had made two lists of words,one positive and one negative. Then they had thrown the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the positive words for one month. They were amazed at how much better their lives became just by using words full of kindness and encouragement.I decided to try this as well by finding something good to write on each paper my students handed in. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. No matter how many errors a student’s paper contained there was always a funny sentence, beautiful thought, or great idea that I could comment on. I remember glancing over my desk and seeing some of the students rereading those encouraging words again and again. It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their backs sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot higher.I recently saw one of my former students from that class and we talked for a while. He was married, doing well in his job, and had two children of his own. As I was saying goodbye he said, “You know I still have a few of those old papers from your class. I still look at them from time to time. I just hope my kids have as good a teacher as you.〞 I walked off amazed at the effect those few positive words had on his life.21. When did the writer learn the most important thing in his life?A. After graduation from college.B. While teaching in a middle school.C. After he became a full-time teacher.D. While he was completing his graduation paper.22. What did the writer learn from Leo Buscaglia’s work?A. The correct use of words.B. Good teaching experience.C. The way to change students.D. The power of positive words.23. What do we know about the student the writer met recently?A. He was not successful in life.B. He probably owed his success to the writer.C. He wanted his kids to be taught by the writer.D. He regretted not taking the writer’s words seriously.24. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. A valuable lessonB. An encouraging wordC. A respected teacherD. Treat your students wiselyBKuala Lumpur is an exciting capital city in Malaysia. Here are the top 4 budget hotels there:The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water for coffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good on the first 4 floors, but a little weak on Floor 5. Many guests like the Chinatown Inn. Their complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let some warmth in.Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotel lobby (大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.Central Hotel (About $35 per night)This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city—buses, trains and sky-trains all meet here. Central is where the airport-link trains will take you to the airport. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but nice and clean, and have common Wi-Fi.Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV and good Wi-Fi in each room. The location is good, in the heart of the Petaling Street market. No cafe in the hotel, but many nearby on the street.25. In the Chinatown Inn you are told to choose a room with a window .A. so that you can let some warm air inB. because the light in the room is dimC. so that you can breathe the fresh airD. so that you can have a good view from it26.

He asked: “Can you catch fish here?” I realized that he thought I was holding a fish pole, so I kept calm and said: “Yes, I heard that there’s a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits.”The old man grew quite c urious and replied: “That may be. If a fish can survive in water as dirty as this, it must have a lot of resistance. So it wouldn’t be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits.”It was clear he was just passing by, so I answered: “Yeah, survival of the fittest. Fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans.”He kept talking to me and didn’t want to leave. He wanted to see whether or notI would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.1.The text is mainly about ____.A. a research report about pollution.B. an exciting experience of fishing.C. an experience of doing research on pollutionD. an unforgettable talk with an old man.2.

If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time，don't despair.Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write letters to them.Also，thanks to the Internet，it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies.With your parents' permission，you can even create a blog or web page to record all of your new experiences，including your thoughts，tales of your new adventures，even pictures of new friends，your new house，and new town.Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.Many schools have a guiding program where a local student shows around a new student for their first week.This can help you find your way around the school and make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age，high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens.“I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you're into your early junior or senior year.Students tend to have established a very strong peer (同龄人) network during that period in their lives.Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases，and when they're torn from that there's often resentment (怨恨)．”However，Turner adds that while moving isn't easy，there are things that parents and the school can do to help children cope with the change.8．Who are the main intended readers of the passage?A．Experts. B．Teachers.C．Parents. D．Students.9．Which of the following is mainly indicated in Paragraph 2?A．Stay in contact with old friends.B．Express yourself whenever it's possible.C．Form good habits at school.D．Keep positive about your new school.10．According to the passage，the guiding program ________.A．helps new students do well in their studiesB．is organized by new studentsC．helps new students learn about the schoolD．focuses on all students local or new at school11．What may the paragraph that follows the passage tell us?A．What a new school is like.B．Why parents move with their children.C．How parents and the school can help children.D．How children can express their anxieties.D.Cigarette pack warnings that remind smokers of the fatal consequences of their habit may actually make them smoke more as a way to cope with the predictability of death，according to researchers.A small study by psychologists from the United States，Switzerland and Germany showed that warnings unrelated to death，such as smoking makes you unattractive or smoking brings you and the people around you severe damage，were more effective in changing smokers' attitudes toward their habit.This was especially the case in people who smoked to boost their selfesteem，such as youth who took up the habit to impress or fit in with their peers and others who thought smoking increased their social value，the researchers said.In general ，when smokers are faced with deathrelated antismoking messages on cigarette packs，they produce active coping attempts as reflected in their willingness to continue the risky smoking behavior，the study said.To succeed with antismoking messages on cigarette packs one hasto take_into_account that considering their death may make people smoke.The study was based on 39 psychology students，aged between 17 and 41，who said they were smokers.Participants filled in a questionnaire to determine how much their smoking was based on selfesteem，were then shown cigarette packs with different warnings on them，and then after a 15minute delay，the students were asked more questions about their smoking behavior that included if they intended to quit.On the one hand，deathrelated warnings were not effective and even ironically caused more positive smoking attitudes among smokers who based their selfesteem on smoking，the study said.On the other hand，warning messages that were unrelated to death effectively reduced smoking attitudes the more receivers based their selfesteem on smoking.The researchers said this finding can be explained by the fact that warnings such as smoking makes you unattractive may be particularly threatening to people who believe that smoking makes them feel valued by others or boosts their selfimage. 12．Which of the following warnings on the cigarette packs can stop smoking effectively?A．Smoking means death.B．Smoking kills people quickly.C．Smoking more，friends less.D．No smoking！No death.13．Paragraph 3 in the passage tells us ________.A．how the young people smokeB．why the young people smokeC．thatsmoking does harm to the young peopleD．when the young people begin to smoke14．Which of the following about the study is NOT true?A．The participants major in psychology in college.B．The participants read the antismoking messages on cigarette packs.C．The questionnaires are difficult.D．The results are similar.15．What's the most probable title of the passage?A． Smoking makes you unattractive.B．Stop smoking.C．A result on smoking.D．Smoking does harm to you.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。

I’ve got a headache and I don’t feel like eating.”“You’ve put on a lot of weight recently. You should see the doctor,” his wife says, “ask him how to lose weight. It’s not good for your breath.”“OK.” says Jack. He goes to see a doctor.The doctor checks his heart and weighs him. Then he sa ys, “You are too heavy. You need to do some exercise to lose about 30 kilograms. Run two miles a day for the next 100 days. Then call and tell me your weight.”A week later, the doctor receives a call from Jack. “Doctor, I ran two miles every day and I fee l much better. But I have a new problem.”“What’s that?” asks the doctor.“I’m 14 miles away from home, and I can’t find my way back.”21. Why does Jack feel awful?A. Because he is in good condition.B.

The passage is probably from a ______.A. letterB. posterC. reportD. storybookBAmerican schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many subjects, or you’ll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many st udents will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.25. What does the understand word “select” mean?A. ChooseB. LikeC. TreatD. Take26. According to the text, American students _________.A. don’t have to ask for teaching plansB. don’t have o choose teachersC. would like to choose strict teachersD. usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money27.

The passage is mainly about ________.A. the differences between American and Chinese schoolsB. American schoolsC. the differences between American and Chinese studentsD. American school subjectsCAt my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.But actually, they weren’t.When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could be better. My grades began to suffer. More talented (有天资的) girls often sang solo (独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay.29. When the writer was at the new class, __________.A. she lost her interest in musicB. she had difficulty in learningC. she surprised everyone in solosD. she got separated from friends30.

Hard work doesn’t work.D. What to do when you’re not perfect.DRush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters (上下班者) rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours ––one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. They make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains.In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they’ll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They’ll pay three times the normal rate.Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds (摩托自行车) duringrush hours. The city can’t make its streets wider, and it can’t build new highways, because it doesn’t want to disturb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists (考古学家).In many big cit ies, there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.33. Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are _______.A. special lanes on highwaysB. many commutersC. four rush hoursD. many cars on the street34.

AXiaofan, a smart boy from Shenzhen, used to have difficulty in getting up on time, and his alarm clock was of no use at all. It made him very upset. One day, he had a good idea.Xiaofan went to a shop and bought a tape. Back home, he started to record what he wanted. After that, he took out a tool box and connected his tape player with the new tape to his alarm clock. A special alarm clock was born. At a certain time in the morning, the tape player would play soft music with a low and sweet voice of a young girl, “Wake up, please.”Five minutes later, the tape player would play again, and it might be loud music. At the same time, he could hear a recording of his parent, “Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!”Several days later, Xiaofan got used to the sound of the recordings. After the recordings, he was still sleepy, and even felt asleep again. That was terrible! So he went to the library and borrowed plenty of books home to deal with his problem of getting up late.He made it! With the help of what he had learned from the books, he put a mechanical （机械的）arm at the end of the bed.

In 1519, he led the voyage to sail around the world. It was also the first voyage to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Magellan gave the Pacific Ocean its name, which means “peaceful sea” in Portuguese. However, Magellan himself was killed in a battle before the voyage was finished. Only one of his ships, Victoria completed the journey. Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. It is believed that he wrote the Daodejing. This book is popular in both the East and the West, and it is still widely read today. Many people have found inspiration (鼓舞人心的话) in this book. There are many famous sayings in the Daodejing. One of them is, “A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step.”Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist mathematician and astronomer. He discovered the law of gravity(万有引力定律). In 1687, Newton published one of the most important books in the history of science. In the book, Newton described many laws that show how the universe works. Albert Einstein kept a picture of Newton on the wall of his study.25. Which of the following was the sad news during Magellan’s voyage?A. He was killed in a battle.B. No ship completed the journey.C.

Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.Speaking of his journey, he says: “I have been deeply inte rested in the Silk Road since I was a child, but now I finally have a chance to experience it.”The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia, and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country’s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them.Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometer trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. “We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us,” says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours.Almost 26 million foreigners traveled to China in 2015, and about 5 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and the Changjiang River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Schultz says, “Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts（吸引）me more.As Shi Xiang, head of the China Tours, says, “Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the northwestern part of the country.”(China Daily)28.

Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film（动画片）.The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击)into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions（版本）一in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out （有压力的，紧张的） society.“The most touching part is that every one of us was a good-natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic (品质)goes away as tithe flies,” he says.32.

AGuide to Stockholm University LibraryOur library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the Wi­Fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.Group study PlacesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2－3 people and others can hold up to 6－8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.There are 40 group­study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.Storage of Study MaterialThe library has lockers for students to store course literature.

Even though he couldn’t balance our budget(预算), his clients trusted him completely and he made them feel secure.In exchange they paid him very well. We had a nice life then. At that time, my yoga studio (瑜伽馆) was just starting to make a profit, and I had recently decorated it. At last, I was in control of my working life and poured my heart and soul into making it succeed.When we first met, I fell hard for Desmond right away, although I wouldn’t call it love I’d never been with a man who was smarter than I was, but after a while I got used to this, and it didn’t bother me so much. I was recovering from a broken heart and needed something to help me move on. If it wasn’t love, it was good enough, and when he asked me to marry him I jumped at the chance, knowing that it might be my last.Things started out so well. I was working steadily and Desmond was patiently climbing up the ladder in his department. Then, without any warning, one gray winter afternoon in year five, he left his desk at the bank, handed in his resignation, and came home and told me he wanted to start an interior design business.He has always loved mixing and matching, and has a real eye for color, texture, and shape, but the idea of turning a hobby into a business wasn’t something we had ever discussed.I thought the stress of his job was becoming too much and perhaps he would take a few months off over the spring and summer to relax and get the idea out of his system. I didn’t believe he could be serious. But once he had a few clients, he began to draw up plans, ordering catalogues and turning our empty workshop into a kind of makeshift (权宜之计)studio with all of his sketches(草图) pinned to the wall. After spending a lot of time and money on all of this preparation, and really doing quite a nice job of it, he called each client in turn and apologized, saying he wouldn’t be able to design their living spaces after all.25. As a financial planner, Desmond ________.A．paid his client very wellB．was trusted by his clientsC．was making his yoga studio profitableD．could make his family’s budget balanced26．His wife thought Desmond suddenly quit his job because he ________.A．couldn’t wait to be promoted B．had experience in interior designC．couldn’t bear the pressure from his job D．wanted to do something he enjoyed27. The woman ________ her husba nd’s decision.A．was supportive of B．was uninterested inC．was satisfied with D．was negative about28．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Desmond ________.A．was more likely to change his mindB．would return to his office in the bankC．made a big business in interior designD．was not well prepared for his businessCWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities (素质，素养)as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists (心理学家)and other professionals(专业人员).One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the personpeople go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing (裁员). After all, if you are a recognized expert in the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.29. What is the passage mainly about?A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.B. The difference of people’s confidence.C. The importance of confidence to success.D. The judgment on one’s confidence.30．Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ________.A．who dream to be recognized expertsB．who expect to give guidance to othersC．who want to ask the boss for a raiseD．who think their goals are hard to reach31．What does the underlined word “indispensable〞 in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Outgoing. B．Attractive. C．Important. D．Energetic.DTeenagers are often a difficult group. With all those hormones (荷尔蒙) flooding their bodies, they can be moody, unpredictable, and tend to make uncertain choices. But however confusing their teenage years are, kids can still be generally happy, depending on their lifestyle choices. According to a new research by British scientists, teens who don’t smoke, drink only moderately or not at all, and who don’t eat much junk food are likely to be happier than other teens.The study looked at 40,000 British families and came up with some interesting findings. For example, kids who never drank alcohol were up to six times more likely to report higher levels of happiness than kids who drank. And teens who smoked were five times less likelyto rate high on happiness charts compared to kids who don’t smoke. Same goes for diet and physical activity. The more fruits and vegetables kids eat, and the more hours they spend playing sports, the happier they are.Now, of course this doesn’t mean that not smoking or drinking, and playing sports guarantees happiness. It could be that kids who have happy character tend to be more active and less addicted to drinking or smoking. And it could equally be the case that kids who are unhappy are more related to drinking and smoking and eating junk food.Other studies have shown that exercise is a proven way to treat anxiety and depression. Future studies may support the idea that other healthful behavior, including refraining (抑制) from smoking, drinking, and eating too much junk, can avoid sadness and increase happiness, too.32．The author developed the second paragraph mainly by ________.A．making comparisons B．providing statisticsC．offering examples D．analyzing causes33．What can we learn from the text?A．Not smoking or drinking guarantees happiness.B．Teens with flooding hormones can not be happy.C．Playing sports can decrease teen’s unhappiness.D．Unhappiness can certainly lead to smoking and drinking.34．Which of the following might help teens quit anxiety?A．Smoking and drinking. B．Taking exercise.C．Eating junk food. D．Going on a diet.35．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Ways to treat anxiety and depressionB．Exercise and teenagers’ healthC．Teenagers shouldn’t drink or smokeD．Teenagers’ lifestyle and their happiness第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

AAn eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother.”The girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”“Pardon?”said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.

Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself pink, yellow, and your favourite blue.” When I heard this, I thought deeply. “While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite, but with my daughter, I was not patient.” I felt sad and tears began to fall.I quietly went to Betty’s bed, “Wake up, my dear!” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?”she smiled. “I found them by the tree. I knew you liked them, especially the blue. ” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated you that way today.”And she whispered(悄声说)，“Mommy, that’s okay. I still love you anyway.”I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family.I spend much time on work and didn’t realize how important family life was.

It's so funny to see them run out screaming! Now, don't worry, Mom. I'm not going to get cough like I did last year.One thing that is different from last year is how many bugs (昆虫) there are!I have at least 100 mosquito bites and about 25 ant bites. Every time I go outside, horseflies chase me, too! Other than all these bugs, I'm having the best time!Love，Tyler Dear Tyler，Are you sure you are okay? All of those bugs sound awful!

At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish's blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of －1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to －2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice­salt mixture.The scientists' next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish's blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange things made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its anti­freeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the anti­freeze fish glycoprotein or AFGP.32．What is the text mainly about?A．The terrible conditions in the Antarctic. B．A special fish living in freezing waters.C．The ice shelf around Antarctica. D．Protection of the Antarctic cod. 33．Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?A．The seawater has a temperature of －1.88℃.B．It loves to live in the ice­salt mixture.C．A special protein keeps it from freezing.D．Its blood has a temperature lower than －2.05℃.34．What does the underli ned word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．A type of ice­salt mixture. B．A newly found protein.C．Fish blood. D．Sugar molecule.35．What does “glyco­” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?A．sugar B．ice C．blood D．molecule第二节七选五 (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。

AIn the few years when I was a teacher I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one of all was the glorious, life-changing power of an encouraging word. I discovered it early while I was still in college completing my student-teaching hours in a local middle school.I had read the work Leo Buscaglia had done with his University of Southern California students. In one exercise Leo and his students had made two lists of words, one positive and one negative. Then they had thrown the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the positive words for one month. They were amazed at how much better their lives became just by using words full of kindness and encouragement.I decided to try this as well by finding something good to write on each paper my students handed in. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. No matter how many errors a student’s paper contained there was always a funny sentence, beautiful thought, or great idea that I could comment on. I remember glancing over my desk and seeing some of the students rereading those encouraging words again and again. It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their backs sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lothigher.I recently saw one of my former students from that class and we talked for a while. He was married, doing well in his job, and had two children of his own. As I was saying goodbye he said, “You know I still have a few of those old papers from your class. I still look at them from time to time. I just hope my kids have as good a teacher as you.” I walked off amazed at the effect those few positive words had on his life.21. When did the writer learn the most important thing in his life?A. After graduation from college.B. While teaching in a middle school.C. After he became a full-time teacher.D. While he was completing his graduation paper.22. What did the writer learn from Leo Buscaglia’s work?A. The correct use of words.B. Good teaching experience.C. The way to change students.D. The power of positive words.23. What do we know about the student the writer met recently?A. He was not successful in life.B. He probably owed his success to the writer.C. He wanted his kids to be taught by the writer.D. He regretted not t aking the writer’s words seriously.24. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. A valuable lessonB. An encouraging wordC. A respected teacherD. Treat your students wiselyBKuala Lumpur is an exciting capital city in Malaysia. Here are the top 4 budget hotels there:The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water for coffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good on the first 4 floors, but a little weak on Floor 5. Many guests likethe Chinatown Inn. Their complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let some warmth in.Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotel lobby (大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.Central Hotel (About $35 per night)This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city—buses, trains and sky-trains all meet here. Central is where the airport-link trains will take you to the a irport. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but nice and clean, and have common Wi-Fi.Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV and good Wi-Fi in each room. The location is good, in the heart of the Petaling S tr eet market. No cafe in the hotel, but many nearby on the street.25. In the Chinatown Inn you are told to choose a room with a window .A. so that you can let some warm air inB. because the light in the room is dimC. so that you can breathe the fresh airD. so that you can have a good view from it26.

Only one of the four hotels is air-conditioned.D. The café in Ancasa Express is open all day long.CWhether it is Mozart or Miley，your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your work．A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry，proof reading and problem solving．In an office-based experiment，88 pet cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music．The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played．And it matters what type of music you listen to．For instance，if you’re doing your tax returns，then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills．Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed，with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry task s faster while listening to pop songs．During proof-reading，dance music，such as David Guetta，had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at a11．Dance music also had a positive effect on spell-checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 percent when no music was played a11．The research，undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International，suggests that silent offices may be the least productive．“The music experiment showed that when listening to music，nine out of 10 people performed better，”said Dr．David Lewis．Chairman of Mindlab International．“Proper music enables people to qu ickly process and keep information，regulate their behaviors，make good choices，solve problems，plan and adjust to changing mental demands，”a senior investigator of Mindlab International explains．“While many schools are cutting music programs and spending mo re and more time on test preparation，our findings suggest that musical training may actually help to set up children for a better academic future．”added D r．David Lewis．29．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The positive relationship between music and efficiency．B．The speed and accuracy of problem-solving tasks．C．The comparison of different kinds of music．D．The experiment on producti vity of

improve efficiency in officeD．more tests prepare children for a better academic future31．What is the author’s attitude towards school music programs?A．Respectful． B．Doubtful． C．Tolerant．D．Supportive．DFriendly doctors are“bad for their patients’health”，researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like．Blurring(使…模糊)the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects．“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook，they should not hug or allow patients to cal l them by their first names”．regulators have warned．“Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment．”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(肿瘤科医生)under the age of 40，found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked．Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care．Lesley Fallowfield，of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1．said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges．Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease；conveying the true prognosis(预后)；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．”But she said，“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the profes sional boundaries with patients．She said：“The difficulty，if you hug and kiss patients，if you allow them to call you by your first name，is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one．Doctors become confused，‘I really like this person，how can I bear to tell them that they’re going to die?’They find it more difficult to be objective．”32．Why are ffiendl3，doctors bad for their

ADo you want to travel abroad? If you do, here are some cities around the world you can consider traveling to.Athens, GreeceIt is the birthplace of Western civilization now almost 4,000 years old. Explore the Acropolis in Athens, and then visit the new Acropolis Museum to truly appreciate the ancient settlement. Walk in Socrates' footsteps around the Agora — the center of social activities in ancient Greece. Beyond the Acropolis, you can also explore the flea markets (跳蚤市场) of Monastiraki and Plaka.Budapest, HungaryBudapest is known as the city of naturally warm pools of water called spas. The Hungarian capital featu res 16th­century Turkish pools as well as medicinal spas. Budapest is also a long­time “foodie city”. Try local specialties (招牌菜) like Hungarian goulash, rich with beef, onions, potatoes, and spices.Queenstown, New ZealandOn New Zealand's beautiful South Island, Queenstown is one of the top places in the world for hiking, boating, and skiing. Nearby Milford Sound offers the peaceful beauty for which New Zealand is famous. Perhaps the most famous New Zealand product is the Lord of the Rings movies. Take a road trip and explore places where the movie was filmed.Dubai, the United Arab EmiratesDubai is a city famous for luxury (奢侈的) goods. One of its shopping centers even has an indoor ski slope. Dubai is also home of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building i n the world. And the Burj Al­Arab hotel is on an artificial island in the Arabian Sea.21．Where can you learn about social activities in ancient Greece?A．At Plaka. B．At Monastiraki.C．At the Agora. D．At the Acropolis.22．To enjoy the peaceful beauty of nature, one should go to ________.A．Greece B．HungaryC．New Zealand D．the United Arab Emirates23．Dubai would most likely attract those who are interested in ________.A．delicious food B．outdoor sportsC．the ancient civilization D．man­made wondersBAbout 97% of the world's water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can't drink seawater, how can it be important?Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn't matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true, and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans, and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!24．Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?A．small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→manB．algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→manC．small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→manD．microscopic animals→algae→large animals →larger animals→man25．From the passage, we learn that________.A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seasB．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chainC．excessive（过度的）fishing has caused the decrease in fish stockD．it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved 26．Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?A．The use of international agreements.B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.C．The use of new techniques.D．Raising people's awareness of the need to protect oceans.27．What would be the best title of the passage?A．The importance of seawaterB．Life in the oceansC．How to protect food chainsD．How to deal with seawater pollutionCYou may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. But although they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon (文化标识)．In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”，also called the “Tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the Tube, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a Tube station.New York is famous for its Yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across Manhattan, where the subway doesn't take you everywhere. Stopping acab is easy, just stick out your arm like you do in any city. But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit you'd better rent a car. The city's public transportation is terrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. That's why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.28．If you have a chance to London and want to avoid the traffic jam, you'd better ________.A．ride vehicle B．take a taxiC．use subway D．rent a car29．Which type of transportation has become a cultural icon of the Big Apple?A．Noisy vehicle. B．Cable cars.C．Subway. D．Yellow cabs.30．People in Los Angeles like their private cars because of the following except that________.A．the public transportation is terribleB．it is not expensive to take a private carC．the underground railway covers a small part of the city centerD．people have to spend hours getting across the Los Angeles31．The passage mainly tells us ________.A．how big cities in the foreign countries keep on movingB．how people in the city avoid the traffic jamsC．why London has the oldest and complicated subwayD．why people call New York the Big AppleDIf you're bored with old­fashioned running, or if y ou feel that it's not a complete workout, you might want to try crunning. It does not mean crying while running. It's actually a cross between crawling (爬行) and running that involves getting down onall fours and moving.The strange workout, best described as your thighs' (大腿) worst nightmare, was invented by Australian fitness enthusiast Shaun McCarthy. The video of his crunning has been getting much attention online and it has inspired others to take up running on all fours as well. Now crunning is a s teadily­growing sport in Australia.McCarthy says that crunning is a more complete workout because it involves the upper body as well. “It really works your thighs and shoulders at the same time，” he said, adding that he believes it burns more calories as well. Some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be onto something there. According to Kim Baylor, a certified personal trainer, any exercise that involves full body motions leaves the chance to develop a lot of strength.However, many think crunning is likely to be out of date soon and it might even be harmful if done incorrectly. Fitness coach Kevin Dean said, “We humans are upright; our wrists have different structures than ankles. But a quadruped (四足的) animal would have four of roughly the same joint. As a result, I often see broken noses, bad wrists, and shoulder problems arising from crunning.”Health experts suggest wearing special gloves to prevent damage to hands while crunning. It's necessary to increase the intensity (强度) of exercise step by step. Crunning may be too much for a beginner and it could be bad for your neck. If it hurts severely, stop immediately and just stick to traditional running.32．What do we know about crunning?A．It is running on all fours.B．It's not a complete workout.C．It is gaining worldwide popularity.D．It is created to strengthen the thighs.33.
