The five-part series, to be broadcast from Thursday July 14 at 8:30 p.m. on ABC TV, also looks at the scientists’ work for the future of mankind.The scientists were a small group of pioneers who explored a world too small to see. What they found there answered some eternal (永久的) questions—What is life? How is it made? Why are children like their parents?DNA is without doubt the most powerful substance(物质) on Earth. The order of its chemicals determines whether a child has her mother’s eyes or her father’s smile. But as DNA shows, until 50 years ago, almost no one knew of its existence. All that changed when two unknown scientists—Jim Watson and Francis Crick—ran into a pub in Cambridge shouting that they’d found the secret of life.The declaration heralded(预示) a momentous discovery, not just for the human race but for the people involved. As this program shows, it was one of the most heated scientific races the world has ever seen.Dr. Watson takes us back 50 years, guiding us through the tumultuous(喧嚣的) events that led to the creation of a double helix (螺旋结构) model being built by Dr. Francis and himself. He tells how he and Crick try hard to find the double helix first and win the Noble Prize.The program shows others involved with the DNA story, including Maurice Wilkins, who helped create the atom bomb. He became disillusioned (使醒悟)with the science of death and chose the science of life instead, by looking for the structure of DNA.51.The purpose in writing this text is to ____________.A. introduce some scientistsB. report on a study on DNAC. tell the importance of DNAD. give a TV program summary52. According to the text, the underlined word “DNA”in the first paragraph refers to _________.A. a five-part TV programB. a story about the scientists’ workC. the most powerful substance on EarthD. the substance discovered by two unknown scientists53. The number of scientists mentioned in this text is _________________.A. 2B. 3C. 4D.554. Which of the following statements does NOT agree with the text?A. DNA explained certain eternal questions involving life.B. Jim Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA.C. Few scientists showed interest in DNA study.D. Maurice Wilkins also did some study on DNA.( B)Alomada Racraotion and Fork Deportment (ARFD) (510) 747-75292011 TEEN TRIP TOTHE LELAND HIGH SNOW PLAYFOR Teens Currently in 6th to 12th GradesLELAND HIGH SNOW PLAY-Class #8389Friday, December 9, 2011 (Non-Public School Holiday)8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.Cost per person: $ 50 ($60 after January 22, 2012) — Includes: Lunch, Admission and TransportationWith a 4,000 sq. ft. day use lodge, the Leland High Snow Play has a huge supply of tubes to choose from, along with awesome tows(拖车) that will tow you up to thetop of the hill!

No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed and almost nobody worked. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek. Everything under the sun was useful for conversation. The weather, taxes, the state of the world, food prices, the wild nature of the current crop of children.There are other destinations for our Sunday visits. My great-aunt Hattie, who lived in an apartment above a fruit-and-vegetable store and had a dancing parrot named Peetie; my great-grandparents who lived in an apartment near the Jersey City waterfront and spoke only Polish; and last, my uncle Gene, the only member of our extended family who had managed to accumulate significant material wealth. He has a large and beautifully decorated home on a New Jersey lake. Sunday visit to Uncle Gene meant unlimited swimming, fishing, and hunting---heaven for a city kid.The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everyone else.Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visit someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race or to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to a family,” such an answer would feel strange, an echo from another era（时代）.I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural cast (特质) still harbors at least what is left of the ethic of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(变幻无常) and a challenging environment.59. The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when __________ .A. everyone would pay a visit to some relatives far awayB. everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisureC. Dad was not at work while Mom was busy helping around the houseD. every adult would go to church and children were not at school60. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?A. People nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday.B. People in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday.C. Such answers are rarely heard in our modern society.D. Visiting someone on Sunday might take a long time.61. What is the writer’s attitude towards the Sunday today?A. UnsatisfiedB. ConfusedC. RespectfulD. Thankful( D )When I was quite young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remembered well the polished old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with great interest when my mother used to talk to it.Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person—her name was Information Please and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anybody’s number.My first personal experience with Information Please came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. I accidentally hit my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didn’t seem to be any reason in crying because there was no one at home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my hurting finger, finally arriving at the stairway—the telephone! Climbing up I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,”I said.A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”“I hurt my finger…” I cried. The tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed. “Are you bleeding?”“No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”“Can you open your icebox?”she asked.I said I could. “Then chip off a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.”After that I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. And there was the time that Petey, our pet canary(金丝雀) died. I called Information Please and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said the usual things grown-ups say to comfort a child. But I was unconsoled. Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers, feet up on the bottom of a cage?She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, “Paul, alwaysremember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better.Another day I was on the telephone. “Information Please.”“Information,”said the now familiar voice. “How do you spell fix?”I asked.All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Then when I was 9 years old, we moved to Boston. I missed my friend very much. Information Please belonged in that old wooden box back home, and I somehow never thought of trying the tall, shiny new phone that sat on the hall table.Yet as I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me; often in moments of doubt and sadness I would recall the sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy.A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle.I had about half an hour between planes, and I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, “Information Please.”Miraculously, I heard again the small, clear voice I knew so well, “Information.”I hadn’t planned this but I heard myself saying, “Could you tell me please how to spell fix?” There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess that your finger must have healed by now.”“I laughed, “So it’s really still you,” I said. “I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time.”“I wonder,” she said, “if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children, and I used to look forward to your calls.”I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister.“Please do; just ask for Sally.”Just three months later I was back in Seattle…A different voice answered Information and I asked for Sally.“Are you a friend?”“Yes, a very old friend.”“Then I’m sorry to tell you. Sally has been working part-time the last few years because she was sick. She passed away five weeks ago.” But before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”“Yes.”“Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down. Here it is. I’ll read it. ‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’”I thanked her and hung up. I did know what Sally meant.62. The author picked up the telephone for the first time mainly to ____________.A. to call his mother who was visiting a neighborB. find someone to give him some sympathyC. call in the doctor for his aching fingerD. to find out what exactly lived in the telephone63. The underlined word “unconsoled” in Paragraph 6 means _____________.A. too sad to have a talkB. difficult to deal with someoneC. hard to communicate with someoneD. unable to accept comfort64. Why did the author never think of trying the new phone after moving to Boston?A. He hadn’t got used to the line service in Boston yet.B. There was something wrong in the new phoneC. He missed the Information Please in the old phone so muchD. He didn’t like the tall and shiny style of the new phone65. What did Sally mean by saying those underlined words in the message?A. She went to another place to make a living as a singer.B. The world without her would still be good to the author.C. The author should explore new worlds for his new life.D.

杭州二中高二第一学期期末英语试卷第一部分听力略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，第一节10小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分30分）第一节AA year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift-＄7,000, a legacy (遗产) form their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. "It really made a difference when we were going under financially." says Dave.But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Doxens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in other, it was more than ＄100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than ＄3 million-they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived own(喜欢) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it. "Ish and Arlene never asked you needed anything," says their friend Sand Van Weelden, "They could see things they could do go make you happier, and they would do them."Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy-a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cent-should enrich the whole community (社区) and Ish and Arlene Hatch's story. Neighbors helping neighbors-that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.16. Which of the following is true of the Hatches?A. They had their children during the Great DepressionB. They left the family farm to live in an old houseC. They gave away their possessions to their neighborsD. They helped their neighbors to find jobs17. Why would the Hatches routinely go from store?A. They decided to open a storeB. They wanted to save moneyC. They couldn't afford expensive thingsD. They wanted to buy gifts for local kids18. According to Sand Van Weelden, the Hatches were _____.A. understandingB. straightforwardC. childlikeD. curious19. What can we learn from the text?A. The community of Alto was poorB. The summer camp was attractive to the parentsC. Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy form the HatchesD. The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their exampleBWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing thoseproblems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.20. According to the passage, winners _____.A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their byesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others21. When problems occur, winners take them as _____.A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development22. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner's Secret.B. A Winner's Problem.C. A Winner's Opportunity.D. A Winner's Achievement.CIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to s eewhat the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been aro und for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Ma chine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large nu mber of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined byWells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfath-er killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler was not born, how would he travel back in time？And would you really like to visit the future In H.G. Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 m illion years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）. If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．23.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．A．People's interest in time travelB．the special feature of the bookC．the long history of time travelD．the contribution of H.G. Wells24. Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．A．have similarities in many waysB．push the invention of the first spaceshipC．have proved wrong by some time travelersD．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine25 .In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________．A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossibleD．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness第二节One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for. ___26__Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well. ___27__ Reassure (使安心)yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.“___28__ If you’re stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,”says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion, you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve. ___29__ You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.___30_ Try making someone else’s day better. A report by United Health care and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers. Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.A. Want to give your attitude a lift?B. Try to enrich your social life.C. Act in an optimistic way—smile, laugh, tell a joke.D. People tend to think in an either-or way.E. By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around.F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.G. You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节，完型填空About 10 years ago I taught a group of children to sail.

浙江省杭州二中2013-2014学年高二上学期期末英语试卷选择题部分一、单项填空（本题有10小题，每小题1分，共10分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

1. There was _______ time _______ the sky was blue and the air was clean.A. / ; thatB. a; whenC. the; thatD. the; when【考点】考察冠词和定语从句【答案】B【解析】本题第一空后面的名词time在本句中是一个可数名词“时期，时代”，本句表示曾经有这样的一个时期，故使用 a time表示泛指；第二空考察的是定语从句，因为定语从句的句子成分很完整，而且定语从句的先行词是 a time，是一个表示时间的名词，所以使用when 引导起这个定语从句。

句义：成绩有一段时期，太空是湛蓝的，空气很清新。

故B正确。

【试题延伸】解答定语从句的关键是分析句子成分，如果定语从句中句子成分很完整就使用关系副词来引导；如果句子缺少主语，宾语，表语或者定语的时候就使用关系代词。

同时也要注意一些关系词的特殊用法，尤其是that/as的特殊用法，既要注意普遍性，也要注意特殊性。

【举一反三】Because of the financial crisis, days are gone _ _ local 5-star hotels charged 6,000 yuan for one night.A. ifB. whenC. whichD. since〖答案〗B〖考点〗考查定语从句中的非限制性定语从句。

〖解析〗由于金融危机, 当地五星级酒店一晚收费6000元的日子不复存在了。

when引导的从句做days的定语。

2. I’m afraid I’m _______ your opinion of quitting all physical exercise for thecoming exam.A. againstB. onC. forD. In【考点】考察介词辨析【答案】A【解析】againstprep.（表示态度）反对；（表示方位）紧靠着…；（表示对象）对…不利；以…兑换；onprep.（表示方向）向；（表示对象）对；（表示位置）在…上；（表示时间）在…之时；forprep.为，为了；倾向于；关于；当作；inprep.采用（某种方式）；穿着，带着；（表示位置）在…里面，（表示领域，范围）在…以内；（表示品质、能力等）在…之中；句义：恐怕我反对你为了即将来临的考试而放弃所有的体育锻炼。
