湖南省2021-2022学年高二下学期普通高中学业水平考试预测模拟卷英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Here is a brief guide to every sport at the Winter Olympics in Beijing.Alpine skiing, 11 gold medals awardedThe disciplines include downhill, the fastest event; super-G, with more turns added; giant slalom (回转), still more turns; and slalom, the slowest and most technical event.Biathlon (冬季两项), 11 goldsTake the endurance test of cross-country skiing and shake it up very few kilometers by having athletes stop to shoot at targets. Too many misses, and skiers must take a penalty lap. Germany, France, Sweden and Norway should dominate the medals.Figure skating, 5 goldsThe strong Russian team swept the top three spots in the women’s competition at the last world tournament, with now 17-year-old Anna Shcherbakova on top. American Nathan Chen’s potential duel (对决) with Y uzuru Hanyu of Japan, the 2014 and 2018 Olympic champion, could be a highlight of the Games.In the pairs event, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong could bring the gold to the host nation.Freestyle sking, 13 goldsThere are six disciplines. In the aerials and the new big air event, skiers launch themselves of a ramp and perform flips (空翻) and spins. In half pipe, they perform in a U-shaped bowl, and in slope style, they ski down a course with rails and jumps. In moguls (雪上技巧赛), they ski over a bumpy course and are judged on turns, jumps and speed. The only event that is timed instead of judged is ski cross (障碍追逐赛), in which skiers race against one another in groups of four.Speedskating, 23 goldsLong-track speed skating is dominated by the Dutch. They won seven of 14 gold medals in 2018 and eight of 12 in 2014. Short-track provided China with its gold of the 2018 Games. South Korea will also be a major contender.1．How many disciplines does Alpine skiing include?A．3.B．4.C．5.D．6.2．Which country mayn’t dominate the medals from Biathlon?A．Russia.B．Sweden.C．Norway.D．Germany. 3．Which of the following is not true?A．Anna Shcherbakova won the first place at the last world toumament.B．Nathan Chen’s potential duel with Yuzuru Hanyu could be a highlight.C．Sui Wenjing and Han Cong could bring a gold to China.D．The Dutch won 14 gold medals in long-track speedskating in 2018.Once there was a small boy called Shankar who belonged to a poor family.One day, he was walking through the forest, carrying some wood. He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead.Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily.Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you.4．What did Shankar carry when he walked through the forest?A．Wood.B．Food.C．Water.D．Herbs.5．Who gave Shankar food and water?A．The old man B．The young man.C．The fox.D．The dog.6．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “herbs” in Chinese?A．鲜花B．野果C．药草D．毒虫7．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A．Help each other B．A fox may help youC．Don’t believe the stranger D．Food and water are importantMounting a telescope on the balcony at home, Wang Zhipu, a 16-year-old boy from Fujian Province, observes the skies, takes photos and begins his voyage into space after class. Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of “Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2021” in the Royal Observatory Greenwich’s annual astrophotography contest. His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on the right, both pictured larger in size than normal.“All families are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system,” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wang’s picture. “A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of astronomical photography.”It hasn’t been easy taking pictures of outer space. For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when they’re opposite the sun in Earth’s sky to get the brightest images. What’s more, he still needed to wait for clear weather to see better. For example, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with the naked eye, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed. At sunset, he shot 10, 000 frames of video and selected several thousand better frames to overlay, further refine them and form a more satisfactory picture.Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldn’t go downstairs to fetch a coat, even in the middle of winter. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot. To get an ideal shot, he often gets up at dawn, sleeps early to wake up at midnight, and even takes time off from evening classes when necessary. 8．What kind of feeling does Sue Prichard show for Wang’s prizewinning picture?A．Curiosity.B．Indifference.C．Appreciation.D．Anxiety.9．What did Wang need to do in preparation for his photographing?A．Figure out when the planets shine best.B．Find out where clear weather can be seen.C．Work out how far the planets are from the sun.D．Make out when the planets face the earth most directly.10．What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A．Wang’s passion for outer space.B．Wang’s habits of observing stars.C．Wang’s addiction to shooting skills.D．Wang’s choices of shooting occasions.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Stars Gathering, Teenager Is the BrightestB．Medals Shining, Teenagers Gains the GoldC．Eyes on the Stars, Teenager Wins Top Photo-prizeD．Dreams in Heart, Teenager Succeeds in Top Contest二、信息匹配下面文章中有4处需要添加小标题。

Have you ever been in a taxi when the driver always makes noises with the horn? You probablyanswer “Yes〞, but have you ever tried to stop for a moment and listen to the silence? Probably not. Silence is a thing to which we pay little attention.Today many of us are too busy to appreciate the small things in life, including silence. With the development of economy(经济), we are surrounded (环绕) by noise and sometimes we can’t realize how noise influences us, but it really changes how we talk and listen to each other. Because we are so used to noise, we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise. Even when there is no noise we want to talk to fill up the silence. It seems funny that we are afraid of these moments when there is no talking, and we call for the awkward(为难的) noise because we feel uncomfortable. But in fact silence can be better than noise, and we need to appreciate it.Some of my friends asked why I didn’t talk very much. In fact I like talking, but I don’t like pushing away silence by talking because I appreciate the beauty of silence. I believe in what one of my friends ever said, “ Do not talk unless you can improve upon silence.〞 So next time when you are on a bus or in a taxi, remember to appreciate the silence you come across later in some day.6. According to Paragraph 1, we pay little attention to _____.A. a telephoneB. a taxiC. silenceD. noise7. What does the underlined word “horn〞 mean in Paragraph 1?8. Why do we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise?A. Because we are surrounded by noise.B. Because we are so used to noise.C. Because we want to fill up the silence.D. Because we feel uncomfortable.9. What’s the writer’s attitude towards silence and noise in Paragraph 2?A. Silence can be better tan noise.B. Silence can be enjoyed at any time.C. Noise can not influence people’s life.D. Noise can bring us a lot of happiness.10. The writer doesn’t like pushing away silence by talking because_____.A. he is on a bus or in a taxiB. he believes in one of his friendsC. he doesn’t like talking very muchD. he appreciates the beauty of silenceCIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds．It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been，and they don't recognize you or any of their friends---every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time．But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them．A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think．In fact，certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago．In the study，researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind offish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food．They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again．Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements．They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food．This suggested that they could remember their past experiences．In fact，scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory．An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish，perhaps because they remembered their past "fights"．But until the latest findings，there was no clear evidence．Just as a good memory can make our lives easier，it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild． "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food，they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk，"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science．For a long time，fish were placed far below chimpanzees，dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals．But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence．11．What is the article mainly about？A．Fish being smarter than we thought．B．Fish having very bad memories．C．How fish improve their memory．D．What we can learn from fish．12．According to the article，people used to believe that __________ ．A．fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB．fish could remember things that happened 12 days agoC．a fish's memory lasted for only seven minutesD．fish didn't recognize any of their friends13．How can fish benefit most from a good memory？They can remember _______ ．A．where to get food and surviveB．their enemies and fightC．where to escape to when in dangerD．their friends and help each other．14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Fish don't belong to the list of smart animals.B. Fish can remember more.C. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.15. Which animal is believed to be smart?A. A birdB. A horse.C. A mouseD. A snakeDI went to live with my husband in a desert in California during the war, because his army camped there. I hated the place and I had never before been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty. I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was unbearable. There was no one to talk to. The wind blew non-stop. All the food I ate and the air I breathed were filled with sand, sand, sand!I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was giving up and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I would rather be in prison! My father answered my letter with just two lines--two lines that will always sing in my memory --two lines that completely changed my life: Two men looked out from prison bars,One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.I read those two lines over and over. I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present situation; I would look for the stars.I made friends with the natives, and their reaction amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had refused to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus(仙人掌). I watched for the desert sunsets, and hunted for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the sands of the desert had been an ocean floor.The desert hadn’t changed me,but I had. I had changed my attitude. And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing adventure of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of myself-created prison and found the stars.16. Why did the writer live in the desert?A. Because she liked the desert.B. Because her parents lived there.C. Because the army ordered her to.D. Because her husband’s army camped there.17.How was the weather there?A. WarmB. ColdC. Very hotD. Freezing cold18.She wrote to her _____ for help.A. parentsB. husbandC. friendsD. natives19.When did she change her attitude?A. Before she read the letter.B. After she read the letter.C. Before she wrote the letter.D. Before she went to California.20.According to the letter, the person who saw the stars might be _____ to life.A. worriedB. curiousC. puzzledD. optimistic第二局部英语知识运用〔一共两节；满分是35分〕第一节完形填空〔一共20小题；每一小题1分，满分是20分〕阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。

烧烛州烟递市涛浙学校普通高中学业水平考试模拟题（一）第I卷（选择题满分60分）第一部分: 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

ADear Alan,Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live in! I’m excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?I’m not sure whether I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can’t live with someone who is loud and messy(凌乱的). I don’t have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.I’m looking forward to your reply.Love, Victor1. Victor feels excited because ________.A. he has a new house to live inB. he can decide where to live nowC. he is going to see his friend AlanD. he helped Alan out with his problem2. Victor wants to share the house with a ________ person.A. neat and quietB. messy but outgoingC. neat and loudD. quiet but messy3. If Victor finds a roommate, he will ________.A. waste moneyB. buy a carC. save some moneyD. have more time to study4. Victor doesn’t have a car, so he wants ________.A. a two bed-room apartmentB. to ask Alan for adviceC. to have his own spaceD. a place with convenient traffic5. What does the underlined word “ travelling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?A. 观光旅行B. 路途奔波C. 广为流传D. 跋山涉水BIn the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packedlunches every morning. ”However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”But are school dinners healthy? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks were offered and I think there were lots of chips.”Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”6. How many ways do most children in the UK have meals at school?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.7. _______would like the children to have the school meals.A. CathB. SusanC. KazD. Jamie8. Jamie thought _______ were healthy food.A. stews and curriesB. burgers and pizzasC. chips and fizzy drinksD. sandwiches and coke9. The last two paragraphs show that _______.A. there’s a salad restaurant in every schoolB. salad is the only healthy food for studentsC. schools have begun to cook healthier foodD. the government offers to improve dinners10. What would be the best title for the text?A. Healthy FoodB. Unhealthy FoodC. Packed LunchesD. School DinnersCPollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year. Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol-4”. “It is four square meters of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol-4” works by reflecting(反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to standin the sun to use it. And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal. Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies has created a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for Africa. It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.11. The passage is mainly about_______.A. solar cookersB. smoke pollutionC. solar power expertsD. breathing illness12. The “sol-4” is mainly used toA. shorten the time of cookingB. reduce the cost of making cookersC. raise money through donations to help African peopleD. reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke13. The underlined word “individuals” in Para graph 4 most probably means “________”.A. cookersB. mirrorsC. peopleD. experts14. Which of the following about the “sol-4” is TRUE?A. It is six to eight square meters of mirrors.B. It can work in any weather condition now.C. It can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.D. It is more environment-friendly than other cookers.15. What can we infer from the text?A. The “sol-4” will be designed in a smaller size.B. More Africans can use the solar cookers in the future.C. The “sol-4” is the first product of the South African company.D. The African government will provide poor people with solar cookers.DExplore and Discover: A City TourDiscover some of Winnipeg’s historical past on a guided tour!When: Every Monday and ThursdayDeparts: Entrance Union Station8:30 am( about 2 hours)Cost:$30 per personCall to book ahead, space is limited, walk-ups welcome!Winnipeg Railway Museum & Gift ShopWhere the past meets the presentADMISSIONAdults……………………………………………………………………………..$5.00 Students(6-15 years)………………………………………………………………$3.005 & Under (with a parent)…………………………………………………………FreeFor group toursCall 942-4632 or email wpgrail@ Welcome to The ForksSix thousand years ago this was a great place to meet.

Economy.D. Literature.MWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular choice for many people.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep," researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you 'snoozing' and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero."According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button, you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won't know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.31. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from the first two paragraphs?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a wise decision.32. Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 4?A. Cheating.B. Improving.C. Damaging.D. Relaxing.33. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It brings people a meaningful rest.B. It turns people into lazier ones.C. It helps people adapt to a new day.D. It affects people to some extent.34. What is the author's suggestion according to the last paragraph?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Waking up a bit earlier.C. Taking another light sleep.D. Adding an extra alarm.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Secrets behind Snoozing in the Morning.B. Ways to Keep Refreshed after Wake-up.C. The Snooze Button: A Good Choice?D. Snooze to Avoid the Light Sleep Mode.36. One cool April 22 morning,people started the day as usual.Yet it was not a normal day.What's so special about April 22？The answer is simple.It is Earth Day.People all over the world celebrate this important day.The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s.Life was very different then.Few people talked or even thought about the environment.Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were.On April 22，1970，twenty million Americans joined the first Earth Day activities.They showed that people really did want to do something about the environment.Since then laws have been passed to protect the air,water,land and animals.The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don't cause too much pollution.Thanks to this law,cars today release about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back in 1970.As a result,the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s.It's a good thing because they needed a lot of help.The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire!Today,the river is cleaner.It no longer burns.It's healthy enough for birds,fish and other animals.Now the celebration has spread to other countries.More than 175 countries take part each year.In 2007，people in China paid much attention to a big problem.People were throwing away 27 million plastic bags a day!People had "Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week".They wanted everyone to see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags.In 2008，China passed new laws against them. Every April 22，millions get together to clean and protect Earth.They also celebrate how far we have come.Our job is to put this knowledge to work.You can help keep our planet healthy too!(1) What is so special about April 22？（no more than 5 words）______(2) When did twenty million Americans join the first Earth Day activities？（no more than 5 words）______(3) What caught fire on the Cuyahoga River？（no more than 5 words）______(4) How many countries take part in the celebration each year now？（no more than 3 words）______(5) What can you do to celebrate Earth Day？（no more than 20 words）______37. 假定你是晨光中学的李津。

Have you ever been in a taxi when the driver always makes noises with the horn? You probably answer “Yes”, but have you ever tried to stop for a moment and listen to the silence? Probably not. Silence is a thing to which we pay little attention.Today many of us are too busy to appreciate the small things in life, including silence. With the development of economy(经济), we are surrounded (环绕) by noise and sometimes we can’t realize how noise influences us, but it really changes how we talk and listen to each other. Because we are so used to noise, we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise. Even when there is no noise we want to talk to fill up the silence. It seems funny that we are afraid of these moments when there is no talking, and we call for the awkward(尴尬的) noise because we feel uncomfortable. But in fact silence can be better than noise, and we need to appreciate it.Some of my friends asked why I didn’t talk very much. In fact I like talking, but I don’t like pushing away silence by talking because I appreciate the beauty of silence. I believe in what one of my friends ever said, “ Do not talk unless you can improve upon silence.”S o next time when you are on a bus or in a taxi, remember to appreciate the silence you come across later in some day.6. According to Paragraph 1, we pay little attention to _____.A. a telephoneB. a taxiC. silenceD. noise7. What does the underlined word “horn” mean in Paragraph 1?A. 立体声B. 小号C.扩音器D.喇叭8. Why do we forget to be thankful when there finally is no noise?A. Because we are surrounded by noise.B. Because we are so used to noise.C. Because we want to fill up the silence.D. Because we feel uncomfortable.9. What’s the writer’s attitude towards silence and noise in Paragraph 2?A. Silence can be better tan noise.B. Silence can be enjoyed at any time.C. Noise can not influence people’s life.D. Noise can bring us a lot of happiness.10. The writer doesn’t like pushing away silence by talking because_____.A. he is on a bus or in a taxiB. he believes in one of his friendsC. he doesn’t like talking very muchD. he appreciates the beauty of silenceCIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds．It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they've been，and they don't recognize you or any of their friends---every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time．But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them．A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think．In fact，certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago．In the study，researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food．They then waited for 12days before putting them back in the tank again．Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish's movements．They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food．This suggested that they could remember their past experiences．In fact，scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory．An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively in front of certain fish，perhaps because they remembered their past "fights"．But until the latest findings，there was no clear evidence．Just as a good memory can make our lives easier，it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild． "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food，they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk，"lead researcher TrevorHamilton told Live Science．For a long time，fish were placed far below chimpanzees，dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals．But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence．11．What is the article mainly about？A．Fish being smarter than we thought．B．Fish having very bad memories．C．How fish improve their memory．D．What we can learn from fish．12．According to the article，people used to believe that __________ ．A．fish could only remember part of their past experiencesB．fish could remember things that happened 12days agoC．a fish's memory lasted for only seven minutesD．fish didn't recognize any of their friends13．How can fish benefit most from a good memory？They can remember _______ ．A．where to get food and surviveB．their enemies and fightC．where to escape to when in dangerD．their friends and help each other．14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Fish don't belong to the list of smart animals.B. Fish can remember more.C. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.15. Which animal is believed to be smart?A. A birdB. A horse.C. A mouseD. A snakeDI went to live with my husband in a desert in California during the war, because his army camped there. I hated the place and I had never before been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty. I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone.The heat was unbearable. There was no one to talk to. The wind blew non-stop. All the food I ate and the air I breathed were filled with sand, sand, sand!I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was giving up and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I would rather be in prison! My father answered my letter with just two lines--two lines that will always sing in my memory --two lines that completely changed my life: Two men looked out from prison bars,One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.I read those two lines over and over. I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present situation; I would look for the stars.I made friends with the natives, and their reaction amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had refused to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus(仙人掌). I watched for the desert sunsets, and hunted for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the sands of the desert had been an ocean floor.The desert hadn’t changed me,but I had. I had changed my attitude. And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing adventure of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and found the stars.16. Why did the writer live in the desert?A. Because she liked the desert.B. Because her parents lived there.C. Because the army ordered her to.D. Because her husband’s army camped there.17.How was the weather there?A. WarmB. ColdC. Very hotD.

If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction (分心) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear 29% more. Besides, doodling can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw mightactually help you solve it. When you come back, you’ll have a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help yo u think, then it doesn’t matter what the picture looks like. Even if you’re not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!6．The passage mainly tells us the ________ of doodling.A．advantages B．disadvantagesC．effects D．problems7．What does the underlined word “perspective” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A．体验B．观点C．困扰D．机会8．How does Sunni Brown feel about doodling?A．It helps remember better. B．It helps think creatively.C．It involves four ways of learning. D．It needs drawing skills. 9．According to the text, it is helpful to doodle when ________.A．you want to focus your attention. B．you have a conversation.C．you wonder in the park. D．you watch a movie.10．Where is the passage possibly taken from?A．A book review. B．A message board.C．A student textbook. D．A science magazine.My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: thelanguage of computerized communication found on the Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming (破坏) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted (面目全非的).Everyone should just relax, say linguists (语言学家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nurnberg, f rom Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply c hange to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they tell their pupils th at text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”11．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To give the main idea. B．To raise a question.C．To compare an example. D．To lead in the topic.12．Who can understand the Netspeak in England?A．Middle school teachers. B．Parents.C．Linguistics. D．Teenagers.13．Who believes Netspeak users can help improve writing?A．Cynthia McVey B．David CrystalC．Geoffrey Nurnberg D．James Milroy14．What’s James Milroy’s attitude toward Netspeak?A．Positive. B．Negative.C．Doubtful. D．Worried.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Netspeak: the Language on the InternetB．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?C．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?D．Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages二、七选五We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer (节俭的消费者) is one way to help. 16．Use It Up.You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze (挤) that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. 17．Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.Wear It Out.You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers (运动鞋) have broken laces (鞋带) , but they still fit you. Repai r them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. 18．Make It Do.When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. 19．20．Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world’s resources (资源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.A．Do without it.B．Throw it away.C．What exactly does that mean?D．Do you know what to consume?e the last little piece of soap.F.With a little thought, you can make something do.G.Think twice before replacing something that still works.三、完形填空Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, 21 I know a lot of history. So we thought we’d be good 22 for the team.A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 23 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). 24 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 25 among all the students present and the top 26 scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 27 way to decide.Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to28 the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the 29 . After a couple of hours, all the 30 on the team were set except one. Carla and I 31 for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 32 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the 33 .Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. 34 I saw the look on Carla’s face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 35 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 36 , just by a little bit. Her expression as she 37 she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team.

Dad loved reading and always looked for opportunities to educate himself.One day,when my father was 16 and out of work,a stranger saw him sitting under a tree,absorbed in a book.He approached Dad and asked him why he wasn't in school.Dad replied that he had no money for college.The stranger saw his desire to study and recommended him to University of the Cordilleras as a working student.He also gave Dad a job in a local factory.Thanks to the warm-hearted stranger,Dad got his Bachelor of Arts degree,then went on to study law and became a successful lawyer.He wrote a widely-read textbook on Philippine law. Looking at my father now,I can see how he was able to overcome so many obstacles.He is by nature a hardworking man,pouring his energy into his career without forgetting his family.He values education—when we were younger,he would tell me and my brother to constantly seek improvement in ourselves through learning.Like a light,he shines with dignity and respect because of his achievements,but his light radiates the brightest for maintaining our family as a cohesive （有凝聚力的）unit with love and faith as its foundation. There are times when my dad kids around and asks me,using my childhood nickname, "Sasi,where's the light？"I just smile,and point at him.26. What joke did Dad play on the writer？______A. He considered her a little foolish.B. He treated himself as the light.C. He turned the light on to be dim for her.D. He asked her to answer many difficult questions.27.

" said Chen Xianzhe,a professor at South China Normal University. "The guideline is meant to calm the anxieties of parents and society as a whole. ""But this does not mean the tutoring courses will completely disappear,since exams still exist. " said Chu Zhaohui,a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences.One-on-one orone-on-two tutoring might see a rise due to this need."Therefore,schools should improve their education quality,take the main responsibility for students' education and not push them into tutoring courses." Chu added.31.

Chu Zhaohui might agree that ______ .A. the guideline will stop off-campus tutoring coursesB. schools should be responsible for students' educationC. education will become even more unfairD. the guideline will end in failure36. "What is the most enjoyable part of your senior high school life？" when asked this question,many students replied that club activities interested them most in school life.They enjoyed being with the club members who shared the same hobby with them.In most of the schools,students are free to choose the clubs they are particularly interested in.Some students join one club,and some join two or more.Only a very few do not take part at all.The students run all the clubs themselves without the help of teachers.There are a number of sports and arts clubs that students may join.Sports clubs includefootball,volleyball,basketball,handball,hockey,tennis,badminton,gymnastics,judo and kendo（剑道）.They take place in the school gym or the school playing fields.There are also arts activities such as the painting and calligraphy club,dance club,the school orchestra and the school choir（合唱团）.The clubs meet two to four times a week after school.Sports coaches and club leaders are often school graduates who come back to help.Club activities after class play an important part in students' school life.Young people spend a lot of time together in club activities and they often become true friends.These friendships often last a long time after graduation.Some become life-long friends.There is a popular belief that true friends are people who have had similar life experiences.Many graduates say that their best memories of SeniorHigh school life are the days they spent in the mountains during the summer vacation,practicing and training with other club members.(1) Who runs the school clubs？______(2) Where do sports club activities take place？______(3) How often do the members of the school clubs meet？______(4) Why are the school clubs important？______(5) Which club will you join？Give your reasons. ______37. 假设你是李津。

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.From the bank. the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.6.

A Mother and An AlligatorCA new Australian research indicates that children with a stutter (结巴) do not sufferdisadvantages at school, More than ten percent of children have a stutter by the age of four but they score just as high as other children on tests designed to judge their language, thinking skills and character.Professor Reilly’s team studied over 1600 children from Melbourne, Australia. Their mothers had been filling out regular questionnaires since their babies were eight months old and the children were judged by a range of language and behaviour tests when they reached the age of four. Reilly and her colleagues asked the parents to call the study group if their children started showing signs of stuttering. Diagnoses were confirmed by a researcher, who then visited the homes of children with a stutter every month to check on their progress.By the age of four, 181 of the children studied had been diagnosed with a stutter. Follow-up visits to the 181 children who were judged after diagnoses showed just nine no longer had a stutter one year later. Stuttering children scored 5. 5 points higher than that of their non-stuttering children on language tests and 2. 6 points higher on the test of non-verbal intelligence. The researchers said it was possible that stuttering could improve language skills, or that stuttering could result from very fast language development among some children.The research suggests parents of children who stutter are usually advised to wait a year before looking for treatment —which can be expensive — to see if the stutter goes away by itself, unless the children become very unhappy or stop talking.11. Children with a stutter at school _______.A. are poor in their lessonsB. have normal language skillsC. work much harder than othersD. are looked down upon by others12. According to Reilly, parents should make a telephone to the study members when ______.A. they wanted to turn in the questionnairesB. their children were rude to other peopleC. they wanted to seek some practical adviceD. their children had a symptom of stuttering13. The author shows the result of the research by _______.A. presenting some statisticsB. offering some good examplesC. telling some interesting storiesD. performing some operations14. Some children may stutter probably because_______.A. they become angry very easilyB. their intelligence is very poorC. they don’t have any patience at allD. their language develops very quickly15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A. it costs quite a lot to treat children with a stutterB. it is hard for stuttering children to speak normallyC. children with a stutter should be treated in a proper wayD. stuttering children can’t be any worse off than they are alreadyDAbout five to seven million people who lived in England spoke English at the end of the 16th century. Later in the next century, people from England overcame other parts of the world andbecause of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.Look at this example:British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to your apartment.So why has English changed over time? All languages change and develop when cultures meet. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers improved the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education.
