When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test unless the person cheats a gain.Some people lose trust in cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really getting that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating. Cheating i sn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will be better than cheating.( ) 26. The writer thinks that when kids cheat in school, _______. A. it is unfair to other people B. it does harm to their health英语 第1页（共2页）学校__________________班级__________________姓名__________________准考证号__________________ ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍密﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍封﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍线﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍C. teachers should punish them( ) 27.

The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the ride.Wish the train could be less noisy? There is a solution for you. The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, one of China’s busiest high -speed rail lines, has “quiet” carriages (车厢), Xinhua reported.Announcements will be made at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the ends of the carriage will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages, CGTN noted. Train attendants (乘务员)will be responsible for making sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules.Passengers who are willing to follow the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to a China’s national railway operator.Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might make people feel that they don’t need to be quiet in non -quiet carriages.While some internet users are in favor of the new service, it has also caused discussion about how quiet travelers should be in quiet carriages.Many people have raised questions such as “What if I snore (打呼噜)?” and “Can we talk to our travel companions (同伴)if we need to?”( ) 31. Paragraph One is written to show that _______.

She said that a man in first class wanted to 39 seats with her.“Not able to hold back 40 cried my way up the aisle (过道) while my daughter laughed?" wrote Zwick.“She felt real and pure 41 in her mind too . I smiled and th anked you as we exchanged but didn't get to thank you properly.So ... thank you. Not just for the seat itself but for noticing.For seeing us and realizing that maybe things are not always 42 .For deciding you wanted to show 43 to us. It reminded me how much good there is in this world. I can't wait to tell Lucy some day. At the same time, we will continue to transmit(传递)the love."Zwick's Facebook letter was shared hundreds of thousands of times until American Airlines found the44 man: 46-year-old Jason Kunselman.Kunselman says that he himself was brought to tears when he saw Zwick and Lucy 45 the plane with all of their medical equipment. "I expected to see her in the front sine she had the oxygen machine with her But when I boarded the plane,she was in the 46 . So I asked the flight attendant if she thought the young lady with the baby would be more 47 in my seat,"Kunselman says that he didn’t think much of the good deed until his wife 48 Zwick's Facebook post days later. American Airlines has since connected the two passengers on social media so they could express their49 for each other, and the airline says that they soon plan on formally(正式地) thanking Kunselman for his50 behavior.36.A. advice B. treatment C. support D. help37.A. email B.note C. letter D. message38.A. disappointed B. worried C. nervous D. surprised39.A. check B. exchange C. link D. share40.A. laughs B. fears C.voices D. tears41.A.goodness B. surprise C.puzzle D.sadness42.A.right B.fair C.happy D.easy43.A.kindness B.wisdom C.patience D.bravery44.A.brave B.secret C.polite D.modest45.A.leaving B.reaching C.researching D.boarding46.A.front B.middle C.back D.center47.A.satisfied fortable C.difficult D.pleased48.A.received B.understood C.saw D.realized49.A.admiration B.respect C.care D.thanks50.A.honest B.generous C.careful D.smart四、阅读理解（本题共15 题,每小题2 分,满分30 分）AThe 9.2—magnitude( 震级)earthquake which caused the tsunami in the Indian Ocean on Boxing Day last happened at 7:58 a.m.,95 miles off the west coast of Aceh, Indonesia．Eighteen minutes later.10-metre high waves crashed the ashore(向岸上),stretching 500—miles of Aceh．Two hours later,the tsunami hit Thailand and Malaysia and then Burma, Bangladesh India，the Maldives，Sri Lanka，Kenya and Somalia．The final total death is thought to be about 280，000，with tens of thousands more listed as missing．More than l.8 million people lost their homes．●What Is Tsunami?A tsunami is a chain of fast moving waves caused by a sudden strong quake in the ocean．They can be caused by earthquakes，volcanic eruptions(爆发)，or even the collision of meteorites(陨星碰撞)．Tsunamis are also incorrectly known as tidal（潮汐的）waves，but unlike tidal waves they are not caused by changes in the tides．They are also most common around the edge of the Pacific（太平洋），where more than half of the world’s volcanoes are found．These fast moving waves can attack coastlines，often with little or no warning．Rocks weighing as much as 20 tons have been pulled from sea walls and carried l80m inland．●Wave PowerAtsunami can have a wavelength of over 100km.They travel at great speeds across an ocean with hardly any energy losses and are hardly noticeable out at sea．Over the deep Pacific Ocean，a tsunami travels at about 800 kilometers per hour．If an earthquake happened in Los Angeles．a tsunami could hit Tokyo quicker than you could fly between the cities by a jet plane．●Strange Animal BehaviorsTen days before giant waves slammed into Sri Lanka and India coastlines，wild and domestic(家养的) animals seemed to know what was about to happen and fled(逃跑)to safety．Elephants screamed and ran for higher ground．Dogs refused to go outdoors．Zoo animals rushed into their shelters and don’t want to come back out．51.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A.The speed of the tsunami.B. The cause of the tsunami.C. The meaning of the tsunami.D. The effects of the tsunami.52．Which of the following is a characteristic of a tsunami?A.A lot of small waves connect together．B.The waves travel quite fast．C.The waves can be found in the distance．D.The power of the waves becomes stronger and stronger．53.What can we learn from the strange animal behaviors?A.Animals are clever than human beings.B.More animals should be raised to prevent a tsunami.C.Animals might help us predict(预测) a tsunami.D.Animals in the zoos should be watched carefully.BYour next Saturday night takeaway (外卖)could be brought to you by a robot after a big food deliverycompany announced plans to use automated vehicles（自动车辆）to transport meals．Europe's biggest online takeaway food company Just Eat has worked with Starship Technologies to d e l i v e（r递送）food with robots on the streets of London later this month．"Nobody has ever done deliveries with robots，" said Allan Martinson，the chief operating officer of Starship．The robot courier can travel up to 4 miles per hour for about 10 miles. It uses a GPS signal and nine cameras to find its direction.Instead of a person arriving at their door，customers could find themselves receiving a message on their phone that says a robot is on its way and a code（密码）to unlock the automated courier．"Put the code in，the robot opens up and there's your food，" said David Buttress，chief manager of Just Eat．The robot，which has so far been tested in Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Glastonbury，costs $1 to transport within 3 miles，compared with the $3 to $6 it costs for a human courier．Till now 30 robots have driven nearly 5，000 miles without getting into an accident or finding themselves badly treated by passers-by. They have driven in more than 40 cities around the world,including London and Tallinn，Estonia．A worry was how the public would react（反应）to robots．But Martinson said the public has been calm when passing the delivery machine on the streets."The most surprising reaction has been the lack of reaction，" said Martinson．Another fear was that people would disrupt （扰乱）the robots，or try to steal them and their contents.To prevent this，the robot is fitted with nine cameras，two-way audio，and movement sensors（传感器）that send a warning if it is lifted off the ground. And it opens only with a passcode provided to the customer through a notice ．"It's much easier to shoplift（在商店里行窃）than it is to steal a robot，" said Martinson．54.According to the text,which of the following about the Starship robot is true?A.It opens up upon hearing the codeB.I t travels 10 miles per hour at mostC.I t finds its way by means of GPS and camerasD.I t sends a message to the customer as soon as it arrives55.What does the underlined word “courier"in the second paragraph mean?A.ProviderB. DelivererC. CollectorD. Guide56.Which of the following is one of the worries about Starship robots？A. People have no interest in the robots.B. Safety of the robot delivery.C. Exactness of the robot delivery.D.People’s worry about public traffic.57.Which of the following would be the best title for the text？A.Great Improvement of Just EatB.Global Trend of Food CompaniesC.New Robots to Move on the roadD.Delivery Robots to Replace Takeaway DriversCThe date was May 24th. 1869. The place was the Green River. Ten men were putting supplies and scientific(补给)and scientific equipment into four small boats. They were about to leave on a dangerous, exciting exploration(探险) into the Grand Canyon.The leader of the group was John Wesley Powell. He was an unknown scientist, temporarily（暂时地）away from his job at a museum in Illinois. He and his men were the first whites to travel in that area. Until then, the land had been known only to Indians and prehistoric tribes(史前部落）. It was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of North America.The story of the brave explorers was printed in newspapers all over the country. John Wesley Powell became famous.John's parents had come to the USA from England. Mr. Powell made clothes for other people, and farmed a little,too. He also taught religion(宗教). His teaching duties often took him away from home. Mrs Powell believed young John needed the guidance and protection of a man. So she asked a friend, George Crookham, for help.George was a rich farmer. He was also a self-taught scientist. He kept a small museum at his home. It includes examples of plants and minerals; native animals and insects; remains of Indian tools and weapons. From George Crookham, John Wesley Powell received a wide, but informal education. The boy learned many things about the natural sciences, philosophy(哲学) and history.John wanted to go to school to study science. His father said that if John were to be sent to college, it would be to study religion , not something as unimportant as science. The argument continued for three years. Then John decided to leave home to look for a college education. He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met.He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east, like Harvard and Yale. But he was too poor to go to them. John Wesley Powell got work as a school teacher in Illinois. Whenever possible, he went on scientific trips of his own. And finally, Powell carried out the plan that made him famous: exploration of the Green river and the Grand Canyon.58.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.The Grand Canyon was very difficult to explore.B.John was a famous scientist and an explorer in 1869.C.John and his men were the first to travel to the Grand Canyon.D.The Grand Canyon wasn't discovered until 1869.59.According to the second paragraph who had the greatest influence on John?A.Mr Powell.B. Mrs Powell.C. George Crookham.D. John's friend.60.What did John think of his college study?A.Meaningful.B. Disappointing.C. Surprising.D. Wonderful.61.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.John's life.B. John's career.C. John's father.D. John's education.DI was at my parent's dinner table．Before me was a worn diary of thin and discolored pages．It was my grandfather's journal and now belonged to my father．My grandfather had died in the months before I was born．I never got to visit the places he had often been to and the people who had been a part of his life's journey．I was about to enter his world，through the words he had left behind．Within minutes，I was captivated by the power of the written words．In the magical script （手稿）before me，I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art，planned，prepared and enjoyed with others，and a time when people had the heart to pause （暂停）their own lives to huge each other's struggles．All this was passed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer's mind and understand the world they lived in．That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today．We have gotten used to writing small pieces for a public looking for fun.No wonder ，there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second．Instead of adding to our collective wisdom，most of these writings reflect （折射）the superficiality （肤浅）and impatience of our day and age．This not only makes us lose the skill of writing impressive essays，it also prevents us from exploring what is truly important．Writing humbles（使谦卑）us in a way that is important to our character growth.Writing reminds us about the limits of the self and our proper place in the vast flow of life（生命的洪流）．Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we truly open up to magic of the world around us．I saw all of this in the writings of my grandfather．And I've seen it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers ．Their writing reflect deep thought on issues of human importance．62.W hy does the writer begin the text with her grandfather's diary?A.To show her respect to her grandfatherB.To present the importance of good writingC.To express her interest in reading as well as writingD.To raise the problems with today's writing63.What does the underlined word “captivated "in the second paragraph mean?A.PuzzledB.FrightenedC.AttractedD.Beaten64.In the writer’s grandfather’s age, people .A.l ived a hard lifeB.cared about each otherC.were fond of writingD.enjoyed being alone65.What is the main idea about the text?A.To encourage people to create meaningful writings.B.To express her strong wish to learn writing skillsC.To stress the effects of her grandfather’s diary on herD.To show her admiration for her grandfather’s writing五、词汇(共15 小题: 每小题1 分, 计15 分)A.请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意, 写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。
