AAn elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove（火炉）and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You s hould write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast？”1.The underlined word “perilous” in the first paragraph can bereplaced by “_________”.A. infectiousB. dangerousC. excitingD. amazing2.The couple was worried about___________.A. their bad healthB. their lonely lifeC. their dangerous stoveD. their poor memory3.What was the doctor’s advice to the couple?A.

Get involved in their education at every step — from homework help to parent-teacher conferences.A close relationship with your children can keep them from having problems in school.Children need help to make decisions about school, relationships, work, and so on. This can be easier if your children can talk to you about their problems.Be a good listener.Young children want to talk about their school days, so take time to talk and listen every day. As children get older, especially during high school, they might not want to talk to their parents. They usually think their friends may understand them better. At this time, parents should be patient and think of ways to get involved in your children’s lives. You need to be a cheerleader (啦啦队队长) for your children. Tell your children you’re proud if they deserve it.Offer your personal support.Help your children practice multiplication tables (乘法表) or have them read you one of their essays. If your children are having trouble in school, offer to help them get through it.In a word, having an honest and positive relationship with your children will hel p them succeed in school. Even if you don’t have the best experience in school, you can still help your children be successful. Besides, parents should know some effective ways of creating a great homework space.5.

得夺市安庆阳光实验学校武邑中学高二英语下学期暑假作业试题（2）一阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）AThe U.S. Department of Labor statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen. The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1. It's implied but not stated in the passage that ________ .A. many other countries are facing the same problemB. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money thanblue-collar workersC. fewer students will prefer to go to college in the futureD. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education2. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?A. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.B. Many parents want their children to go to college.C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college.D. Every young man and woman wants to go to college.3.By saying that“many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that ________ .A. many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB. many people who do not have enough money go to collegeC. many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed4. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _______ .A. every young man and woman should go to collegeB. college education is a bad thingC. people with a college education should receive higher payD. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobsBSelf-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations.Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that，within reason, they will be able to do what they wish, plan, and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything.Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met，they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments （赞美）paid to them By contrast，self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves；they don't feel they have toconform in order to be accepted.Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents' attitudes are crucial(关键性的) to children's feelings about themselves，particularly in children's early years. When parents provide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children's moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others，especially parents and society. Friends' influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one's self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.5. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about________.A. the sources of self-confidenceB. the lack of self-confidenceC. the development of self-confidenceD. the benefits of self-confidence6. According to the passage, self-confident people tend to____.A. depend on othersB. control othersC. avoid risksD. bepractical 7. Which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage?A. Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities.B. Parents' protection prevents children's self-confidence development.C. Parents and friends matter in building one's self-confidence.D. College students are the least self-confident group in society.8. What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage?A. What one should avoid in building self-confidence.B. Lack of self-confident has many side effects.C. What self-confident children usually get from parents.D. How we can become more acceptable.二阅读填空(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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their colour and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixicland jazz.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they’re in the pink when they’re in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably came from many babies who were born with a nice pink colour showing good health.Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song---Mood Indigo—about the deep blue colour, indigo. In the words of the song: “You aren’t blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.”Someone who is blue is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as his friend’s, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars of greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the colour of the back side of the paper money. The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.1.If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it ________.A. a white dayB. a green dayC. a red dayD. a black day2.Suppose Mr. Brown says his three children are all in the pink. This means they are ________.A. fit and healthyB. gentle and modestC. creative and energeticD. lucky and wealthy3.When she got home and found nothing had been done by her husband, Jane was really ________.A. blueB. red hotC. greenD. black4.In the follow paragraph, the writer might tell the reader something about ________.A. people’s response towards a black dayB. more words about a colour, such as brownC. the influence of the traditional bluesD. unpopular organizations in the world5. What is the author’s attitude?A. NegativeB.NeutralC. PessimisticD.PassiveBWhen Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.6.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.7. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange8. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to schoolB. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time9. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents decorate their houses10. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicCThe common cold is the world’s most widespread illness,The most widespread misconception of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the battlefield, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and painkillers (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms(症状).11. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 312.Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.B. Colds are not caused by cold.C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.13. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______.A.They are working in the isolated arctic regionsB.They are writing reports in terribly cold weatherC.They are free from work in the isolated arctic regionsD.They are coming into touch again with the outside world14.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit_______.A. suffered a lotB. never caught coldsC. often caught coldsD. became very strong15.The passage mainly discusses _______.A. the experiments on the common coldB. the misconception about the common coldC. the reason and the way people catch coldsD. the continued spread of common colds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。

ATraveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different“styles”of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs: in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.” People in Los Angeles, the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?”you ask. “Oh,”they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?”To this question you won’t get an answer, because most pro bably they don’t know it themselves.People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me. ”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea. ”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t”is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”2. Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?A. They use landmarks in their directions instead of distanceB. They prefer to lead you the wayC. They often have no idea of distance measured by milesD. They prefer to use body language3. How do Greeks give directions?A. Using street namesB. Using landmarksC. Leading people the wayD. Giving people a wrong directionBPresident Xi Jinping delivers a policy speech to Chinese and United States’ CEOs during a dinner reception in Seattle, Washington, September 22, 2015.Beijing and Washington must read each other’s strategic intentions correctly, and have “less estrangemen t (隔阂，疏远) and suspicion in order to forestall (预先阻止) misunderstanding and miscalculation,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping Tuesday night in his first major policy speech on China-US ties since he arrived in the US early Tuesday.Xi called for more understanding and trust between the US and China, prior to (在…之前) his formal talks with President Barack Obama at the White House on Friday.“China is ready to set up a high-level joint-dialogue mechanism (机制) with the United States on fighting cybercrimes (网络犯罪),” he said, adding that the Chinese government was a firm defender of cyber security while also being a victim of cybercrime. The world’s two largest economies “should strictly base our judgment on fact, for fear that we become victims to hearsay, paranoia, or self-imposed bias”.Xi made his remarks in a 40-minute speech, the only public speech during his US visit, at a dinner attended by more than 750 business leaders and other dignitaries (显要人物), including former secretary of State Henry Kissinger. It was sponsored by the National Committee on United States-China Relations and the US-China Business Council.In addition to cyber security, Xi raised other issues of concern to some in the US audience, including China’s stock market and investment.Xi said that the government had taken necessary steps to stabilize the stock market after recent turbulence (动荡) triggered wide concern. China’s central bank adjusted its currency exchange rate according to market supply and demand in August, which the president said has achieved “initial success” in correcting the currency rate deviation (货币汇率偏差).Xi also reiterated (重申) China’s opposition to cyber theft, in spite of high tensions between the two countries because the US has blamed several cyber attacks on China recently.“China is a strong defender of cyber security. It is also a victim of hacking,” Xi said. “The Chinese government will not, in whatever form, engage in commercial thefts or encourage or support such attempts by anyone. Both commercial cyber theft and hacking against government networks are crimes that must be punished in accordance with the law and relevant international treaties.”Xi also shared the story of his hard and starving youth in a remote village to illustrate what a Chinese dream means for ordinary Chinese people.Xi arrived at Seattle early Tuesday morning with his wife Peng Liyuan, and was warmly welcomed by Washington state business leaders and officials.US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker said that while this week many significant d eals will be announced during Xi’s visit, it exemplifies (例证) US companies’ commitment to support China’s development both with capital and world-class technology.Kissinger, who played a major role with opening relations between China and the United State s in the 1970’s, said Xi’s state visit is an important step in lifting the two countries’ relationship from the day to day solving of problems to the creating of a new world order.Xi will take part in a round-table discussion with Chinese and American executives, visit Boeing and Microsoft offices and a local high school before flying to Washington on Thursday morning.4. What can we know about Xi’s visit in US?A. He met President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday.B. His major intention was to improve the China-US ties.C. He will make a formal policy speech on China-US ties on Friday.D. This was his first visit in US.5. What can we NOT know about the speech?A. President Barack Obama was at the dinner, too.B. It was the only public speech during Xi’s visit there.C. It was sponsored by the National Committee on United States-ChinaRelations and the US-China Business Council.D. It lasted 40 minutes and was made at a dinner.6. What did Xi talk about at the speech?A. The stock market in US.B. China’s investment in Europe.C. The cybersecurity in China and US.D. His experience in New York when he was young.7. How will US companies support China’s development?A. By investing goods.B. By building factories in China.C. By exporting top-level talents to China.D. By providing China with high technology.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中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AAre you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or，in summer，they may think it is the heat. However，the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world，people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates，where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional，people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people，unfortunately，have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps，employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance，however，here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time，try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.1.Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?A. Because you eat too much for lunch.B. Because it’s hot in summer.C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time.D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.2.What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of theday.B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.C. If you take naps every day, you’11 never suffer from heart disease.D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health.3.What can we infer from the passage?A. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1：30 pm.B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.D. You’11 feel sleepy at regular i ntervals (间隔).4.What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB.A1l for a NapC. A Special Sleep PatternD. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate BThe 87th Academy Award(奥斯卡金像奖) nominations(提名) were announced on Jan 15, and The Grand Budapest Hotel stood out as a favorite with nine nominations, including Best Picture. Check out some other Best Picture nominees to see if you missed any of last year’s top Hollywood films.The Imitation GameThis historical thriller is about British computer scientist, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), the father of artificial intelligence. At the start of World War II, Turing was asked to join a select team of mathematical geniuses to decode the system the Nazis used to send military messages. Besides the actual breaking of the code, Cumberbatch’s portrayal(扮演)of Turing’s personality, a mixture of decency(正派)and shyness, is also a highlight of the movie.BirdmanThis dark comedy film is about how Riggan Thomson, a faded star once famous for his superhero roles, struggles to regain fame. American actor Michael Keaton, 63, who has a similar experience to Thomson’s, plays the leading role.SelmaA stellar cast(主要演员) including talk show queen Oprah Winfrey may be one reason to see Selma. But that the film focuses on Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle for civil rights(民权) also makes it worth viewing. Based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, the film is a chronicle(编年史) of King’s (David Oyelowo) campaign for political rights for African-American people.The Theory of EverythingWe know English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking for his significant scientific discoveries, especially his black hole theories. This biographical film reveals the scientist’s (played by Eddie Redmayne) secret romantic relationship with Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones), whom he meets and falls in love with at Cambridge and who later becomes his first wife.BoyhoodAmerican Director Richard Linklater did an experiment in this film, using the same cast for 12 years to record a boy’s growth. In two and a half hours, we see Mason, a Texas boy from a divorced family, grow from 6-year-old boy to a freshman in college.5.How many Best Picture nominees are mentioned in the text?A. FiveB. SixC. EightD. Nine6.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Michael Keaton became famous overnight after starring in the movieBirdman.B. Alan Turing is a talented and outgoing man in The Imitation Game.C. Selma is the story of Martin Luther K ing Jr.’s fight for votingrights for African-Americans.D. The Theory of Everything is about how Stephen Hawking discoveredhis black hole theories.7.What is Boyhood mainly about?A. How Richard Linklater did his decade-long experiment.B. The wonderful life of Mason.C. The growth of a young boy.D. How Mason spent his college years.8.What is the main purpose of the text?A. To analyze(分析) why these films were nominated for the 87th AcademyAwards.B. To give a brief introduction to the 87th Academy Award nominees.C. To list some of the best nominees in the Academy Awards’ history.D. To prove that the Academy Award nominees cover a broad range oftopics.CThe human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the c hance to move around. As we know, we’re while we’re eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.”Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in thedesign of desks. A “standing desk” lets peop le stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. Th at’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.9．The underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________．A. dangerousB. commonC. comfortableD. awkward10．Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk? ________A. Sitting too long may help increase one’s life.B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.C. Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one’s horizons.D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.11．What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4? ________A. It’s a study that begins too late.B. It’s a hot subject studied by experts.C. It’s a relatively new area of study.D. It’s not ignored by many experts.12．Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?________A. To offer them the chance to exercise.B. To improve their work efficiency.C. To give them more comfort.D. To seek pleasure while working.二完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

AMr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?” “Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party. 6.30 to 8.30 p.m.”“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8.30. Maybe it is impolite.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party. 6.30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8.30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨）.”Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”“I did,” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.1.Why did Mr. Harris and his wife move to another town?A. Mr. Harris changed his work.B.

Why did Mr. Harris telephone the policeman about the noise?A. Because someone rang his door bell many times at mid-night.B. His friends had a good time that night and also feel tired.C. He did not want his friends to stay late that night.D. Because his neighbours hated the noise.BLife is comprised emotion and sense. When we were babies we reached the pinnacle(顶峰) of emotion. At that time we asked for everything that we wanted, cried as we were uncomfortable, laughed as we were happy and released our emotions day and night. When we grow up we find that if we want to live in a cozier environment we must be sensible enough to deal with our emotions and relationships. Our world is based on sense and beautified by emotion.Sense is the base of life; it builds up the structure of life, and helps us see the real world. And emotion is the invaluable element of life. It adds colorful paint to our life. Lacking sense we may lose the guiding light and lacking emotion we may lose the value of life.We admire Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, we are attracted by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Man, and we are carried away by Mone t’s Lotus. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet may bring us tears, Victor Hugo’s poems can make a maid’s love revive, and Jane Austin’s stories arouse our dream of holding a party of ladies and gentlemen as an England beauty in the countryside. All of them are people who deserve our respect and showed us sentimental emotion: love, hatred, betrayal, loyalty and so on. They made their works full of emotion, shocked our nerves, and evoked our passions. Somebody may have found their destiny in these works, and surely they influence people time after time. But in fact, though these people or their works have the power to control our mental world, we don’t choose them to be our President or Prime Minister. We cannot deny the fact that our world is based on sense and ration. Mark Twin once said that the passion of friendship is so sweet, steady and royal and enduring a nature that it will last through a whole lifetime if neither of thetwo friends asks the other to lend money.Emotion is our nature and sense gives us an eye to live in reality. Only sense makes Jack a dull boy; emotional moments give us vigor and enthusiasm to live and color our life.5.We can learn from the second paragraph that__________________.A.sense is no more important than emotionB.sense is as important as emotion to human lifeC.sense deserves less concern than emotionD.sense gives people more pleasure than emotion6.What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?a)Artists are good at containing emotion in their works.b)Works full of emotion show people the value of life.c)There is a variety of emotions in this world.d)Life can’t be enjoyable without emotion.7.What’s the best title for the passage?a)Sense and emotion make people wiserb)Sense and emotion help you live in peacec)Sense and emotion—the bases of our lifed)Sense and emotion—the reason for happiness第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."1. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A. She was driving home.B. She was resting on the road.C. She was taking exercise.D. She was feeding wild animals.2. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She pushed the deer away.B. She hit the deer with her feetC. She drove the car to hit the deer.D. She beat the deer with a hammer.3. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Strong.B. Cruel.C. Energetic.D. Brave.4. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Woman Was Seriously InjuredB. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanC. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyD. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackBIt’s going to be a chaotic (混乱的) day. How do I know? It’s Monday. OK, joking. But, I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks, fire drills, and unforeseen events. So, how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos? How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking? There’s a problem … Panic! When things don’t go as plann ed, how do you react? Are you the calm one who works to fix things? Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky is falling? Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.Here are a few tips to help you remain calm in the face of the storm:• Don’t Panic You are better able to find a solution if you aren’t panicking. If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a clear decision in the chaos.• There Aren’t Many True Emer gencies My time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies. In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die. This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down. Keep things in perspective. There are very few true emergencies in life.• Avoid the “Fight or Flight” When you are stressed, your body will want to go into “fight or flight.” Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natural reflexes (反射) aren’t always the best solution against a project gone away. Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don’t make bad decisions for you.• Head Into The Problem While everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem. Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse. Instead of trying to ignore the situation, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible. Only then can you address it.How Will You React? When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back. Ask, “Is this truly an emergency?” Keep your head when others are losing theirs. And you’ll find that you are that much closer to a solution.5．The author writes the first paragraph in order to ________． A. describe a chaotic day B. advocate a way of life C. make a joke D. introduce a topic6．In order to make a wiser decision in the chaos, you should ________． A. low your head B. shake your head C. keep your head D. stick your head7．The example of the author’s time as a Naval Officer is used to illustrate ________．A. there are many true emergencies in lifeB. there are seldom true emergencies in lifeC. some emergencies are really urgentD. some emergencies can’t be predicted8．What would the best title for the passage? ________．A. Fight or FlightB. True emergenciesC. Less Talking, More DoingD. Keep calm in the face of the storm二 （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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AWe all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves. Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness —and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick that she couldn’t watch TV.Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. An d even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.1．As a photographer, the author used to ________．A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolvesB. express his love for his family in a special wayC. devote much more to his career than his familyD. miss a great many important historical moments2．Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures? ________A. To cure his own disease.B. To leave the wildness alone.C. To seek a better position.D. To spend more timewith his wife3．What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author? ________A. He treasured every bit of time with his family.B. He has become a stranger to his children.C. He takes his work more seriously.D. He focuses more on medical care.4．The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because ________．A. the snowflakes taste very goodB. snowflakes are what they feed onC. they regard that as a way to enjoy lifeD. there is beautiful light in the snowflakesB．Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first long­span bridge to carry motor traffic, and it quickly became the model for the great suspension bridges of the following century. Spanning New York's East River, it provided the first traffic artery （要道）between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn. Before that, the only transportation was by ferries, which were slow and could be dangerous in winter.The construction of a bridge over the East River had been discussed since the early 19th century, but the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 deflected all consideration of the project. When the war ended in 1865, the bridge became an important issue once more. In 1867, the New York State passed an act setting up the New York Bridge Company for the purpose of constructing a bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.John Augustus Roebling was chosen to design the bridge. Born in Germany in 1806, he held aggressive views as a student and was listed by the German police as a dangerous figure. He emigrated to America in 1830 to escape political discrimination.Roebling proposed a bridge with a span of 1,500 feet (465 m), with two towers in the East River serving as the main piers. The bridge that was actually built is longer—1,597 feet (486 m), the longest suspension bridge at that time.5．What was the purpose of building the Brooklyn Bridge?A．To replace an old bridge.B．To set up a model for bridge construction.C．To build a long­span bridge for the Civil War.D．To provide faster and safer transportation than boats. 6．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “deflected” in thesecond paragraph?A．blocked B．developed C. deserved D．indicated 7．Which of the following is TRUE about the Brooklyn Bridge?A．It was built in 1865. B．It is shorter than originally planned.C．It was first proposed after the Civil War.D．It was built by the New York Bridge Company.8．According to the passage, which of the following correctly describes John Augustus Roebling?A．He participated in the Civil War and was seriously wounded.B．He was the first person to propose the construction of the bridge.C．He was chosen to design the bridge because of his aggressive views.D．He moved to America because he was discriminated against in his home country.二（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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Reader’s Digest (RD) questioned several experts to give us some facts about them.RD: What’s the oldest joke in the world?“We can’t know the oldest joke in the world because it would have existed earlier than writing.” says Christie Davies, professor of sociology at the University of Reading in the UK. The oldest joke book that’s been found so far is the Greek Philogelos. It dates from the 4th century AD, although the jokes date from an earlier time. According to psychologist Steve Wilson, director of National Humor Month (April in the US), it contains 265 jokes.RD: Do some people fail to develop a sense of humor?Rod Martin, professor of psychology at the Western University in Canada, believes that while everyone is born without a sense of humor, as we develop, humor and laughter begin to appear. “Of course, some children are more serious, quiet, and less likely to laugh frequently, but this doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of humor.”And according to Steve Wilson, there are no adults who don’t have a sense of humor. “Almost everyone is able to develop a sense of humor, and I teach people how.” he says.RD: Do people share a sense of humor unique to their own nation?Sense of humor does differ a lot by country, according to an author named Scott Weems. British humor is thought to be absurd in nature, while American humor has an aggressive quality. According to a study, Germans are found to find everything funny.21.What do we know about the oldest joke book?A.It remains unknown.B. It was written in Greek.C.It was found in the UK.D. It contains the oldest joke.22.What does Rod Martin agree with about people’s sense of humor?a)Nobody is born with a sense of humor.b)Some adults lose it when they grow up.c)Childhood is the best time to develop such ability.d)Children have a poorer sense of humor than adults.23.What kind of humor has an aggressive feature?A. British humorB. German humorC. Canadian humorD. AmericanhumorBOne day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?" 'I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（同情地）.The first two times we met David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly."It's your turn," he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words – can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry' on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.24. When he first met the author, David________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher25. David enjoyed being with the author because he ______.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. need to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children's drawings in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game26. What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.27. What made David change?A. His teacher's help.B. The author's friendship.C. His exchange of letters with the author.D. The author's silent communication with him.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。
