He emphasized (把重点放在...上、强调)all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run(经营)that company she’s working for.”But as his joking remark(评论)approached(接近)reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions(提拔)and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we hadalways dreamed of, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility(可能性)that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job.

The dilemma of the working woman is a choice between .A.husband and childrenB.children and workC.career and money D .job and marriageDIf we are observant(善于观察的), we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (统计) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why are black flowers so rare(鲜有的)?As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in(吸收)all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. Whereas(鉴于), red flowers, orangeflowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting(反射)the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.32. “It is a chance in a million”meansA.something commonB.something luckyC.something extremely rareD.something impossible33.Sunlight is formed by .A.many different kinds of colored lightB.three different kinds of colored light—red, orange and yellowC.seven different kinds of colored lightD.four thousand kinds of colored light34.

A篇I stood in front of my entire lab and told them,I had made zero progress in the last year. At the graduate program's annual presentation, highlighting students" successes, Michelle and I were taking a different approach, sharing our most painful failures. The audience sat in silence, obviously surprised. But we weren't ashamed. Quite the opposite we were proud to be sharing our full selves and building a base for relationships.Setbacks are an unavoidable part of graduate school, but too often we try to hide them. By sharing our whole selves, including our failures, we went on to build a deep, meaningful relationship. And we wanted others to experience that openness and support.We began the workshop by presenting our stories onstage. Then we invited the participants to turn to one another and share their own significant failures. An awkward silence followed, as we had expected, but it only lasted a few seconds. Soon the students jumped into lively conversation.Students even formed larger groups as they realized how many of their colleagues shared the exact struggles they did. Even after the session ended, whispered conversations continued until the next it speaker began his presentation.From that point forward, every presentation included some mention of the failures that led to the results, It reminded us that behind every impressive result is a person who is just trying his best.Since the workshop, we have noticed a continued change in our classmates. The answers to questions like “How are you doing ? " are more sincere and less perfunctory and several students have mentioned they feel closer to their classmates.It's hard to build a close relationship with someone when all you know about them is their achievements. Talking about failure normalizes it and proves it's nothing to be ashamed of.1. What do most graduate school students emphasize in their presentation?A. Their complaints.B. Their achievements.C. Their failures.D. Their experiments.2. How does sharing failures benefit students?A. It stops them from feeling ashamed.B. It contributes to their school courses.C.It helps them bond with their classmates.D.It reduces their fear of presentation.3.What does the underlined word “perfunctory”in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.RudeB.Half-heartedC.DetailedD.Direct4.What can we know about the participation?A.They were active for most of the workshops.B.They kept silent through the workshop.C.They whispered softly during others’ speeches.D.They felt shocked by others’ failures.B篇“ You're so smart !" This encouraging response to children's math performance is commonly heard, Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses about their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.Parents who make comments connecting their children's performance with personal characteristics like intelligence(智力)"are using what's referred to as person responses(个人反应)In contrast, parents who connect their children's actions, such as efforts or strategy(策略)use, with their performance are using process responses(过程反应).For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics.In contrast,parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations their children give a combination of both responses.While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes,children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics---in particular,related to failure---are more likely to avoid harder math problems,show higher levels of math anxiety,and score lower on math achievement tests.Because person responses suggest poor math adaptation in children over time,researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways.Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough.Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation.5.Which of the following is an example of process response?A.You are a lucky dog.B.Running is in your blood.C.What works well for your study?D.Why are you such a math genius?6.What can be inferred from the study results?A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.C.Process responses help with children's math achievement.D.Person responses can discourage children from learning math.7.What do researchers advise parents to do?A.Restrict person responses.B.Defend their own beliefs.C.Stress children's performance.D.Ignore children's math problems.8.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math HelpsB. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math MattersC. Responses to Enhance Children's Math PerformanceD. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math二、七选五(每空3分,共15空)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。

"We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we could donate it. And they were on board." he said.So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23,000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.Nationwide, $165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. 4t If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%, we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a hugebenefit. That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing. " he said.Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries of the students' efforts. Ben SI ye, the senior pastor (牧师),said, 44It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”The University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country. 4t I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.

Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the Loilet, after cleaning a baby and before .touching food.Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌).They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soapalso helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than an.y medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.26.The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to.A.call on people to wash handsB.help the developing countriesC.make a culture of hand washing in the third worldD.promote the importance of soap in hand washing27.The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT thatA.soap gets people into the habit of washing handsB.soap helps to get rid of more germs off handsC.soap attracts people to do more hand washingD.soap gives people a longer hand washing time28.According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that.A.kills half of the kids in developing countriesB.can be prevented by washing hands with soapC.causes the greatest number of child deathsD.makes soap stand out in hand washing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分一)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。

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and "time travel" to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program."In the digital age, the model of 'culture + technology' has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China's precious cultural relics is over 70%, " according to iResearch.Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own.AI technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum's WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of culture by digital means. The CCTV has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the divine deer, Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画) ."Digital collections are welcomed among young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the cultural intellectual property (知识产权) but also bring the public closer to China's 'excellent traditional culture'," noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offering the public greater cultural experiences in the future.4.What can we know about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?A.The Dunhuang Academy developed it secretly.B.Both time-traveling and gaming technologies were used in it.C.It was discovered in the 20th century with more than 60,000 cultural relics.D.People can have access to it through the Wechat mini program of Digital Dunhuang 5.According to iResearch, what has the model "culture+technology" been applied for?A.Showing the latest technologies in China.B.Helping cultural institutions make a profitC.Pushing the development of Chinese culture.D.Encouraging young people to explore Chinese cultural relics.6.How does the author introduce the success of digital collections in Paragraph 7?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving examples.C.By giving definitions.D.By making comparisons.7.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.China's new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave.B.China's interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.C.China's success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.D.China's latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.Research led by an ecologist Bart Hoekstra shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year's Eve.The research studied how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. "Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. Wealready knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, "says Bart Hoekstra.Last year, a study discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend about 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 12 days. They apparently need time to restore their energy to their former condition, after escaping from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius (半径) of 2.5 km of inhabited areas (居民区) , the effects of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. "Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects ofbirds live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance, " says Bart Hoekstra.People who argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live advise that fireworks should mainly be lit as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if people try to use light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows instead of fireworks.8.How many aspects did the research mainly study?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.9.If geese normally spend 10 days looking for food, how long will they spend after escaping from the fireworks according to the study in Paragraph 3?A.About 11 days.B.About 12 days.C.About 13 days.D.About 14 days.10.What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Adaptable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.11.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Anxious in The Air!B.Amazing Fireworks-free Zones!C.Fireworks in The World!D.Birds Throughout The Country!Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community, says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco." A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town, "Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from."12.What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face?A.A labor shortage.B. Poor economic conditions.C.A rapid increase in population.D. Outdated agricultural technology.13.What is the project about?A.Building art galleries in Guatemala.B.Creating job opportunities for local artisans.C.Developing local tourism by selling artworks.D.Transforming the town into a cultural destination.14.What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?A.The nearby lake.B.Mayan-styled butterflies.C.A type of traditional clothing.D.The national bird of Guatemala.15.What is Melissa's attitude towards the project?A.Positive.B.Uncaring.C.Confused.D.Disappointed.二、七选五16.We're getting more used to chatting to our computers and smart phones through all kinds of voice assistants. ①_______ People who can't read or write can send and get information using the spoken web.Some think voice could soon become the main way to interact online.

高一下学期第二次月考英语试题第I卷(共60分)第一部分听力(略)第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共10小题,每小题2分,满分20分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑A"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄凉的). I wandered(徘徊)aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious.But now I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always forces his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never turns a blind eye to it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company(陪伴). When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的) words: " I can throw you away, let alone these old papers."All the lights were off except father's.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of approaching in my sleep and then covering me with the quilt(被子).This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it second to none.BThe Mississippi is the major river system in the United States. The Yangtze is China’s longest river.Although a world apart, the two waterways share conservation(保护) concerns that provide a cultural bridge between students in the United States and China, as well as from around the world.The Mississippi flows almost 3,800 kilometers from a small lake in Minnesota, gathering the waters of 250 other rivers and streams before reaching the Gulf of Mexico.In mid-May, as spring flowers began to open, about 41 students from a dozen colleges, mostly in the Midwest, explored a section of the river in Wisconsin and Iowa, to learn about the environment, and each other.The students, from the U.S., China and around the world, came to join the River Spirit Exchange program.The cross-cultural educational experience----set up by the University of Wisconsin, Madison---based Environment and Public Health Network for Chinese Students --- focuses on the Mississippi and China's longest river, the Yangtze.This three day get-together featured story-telling, hiking, camping and canoeing, all part of a larger lesson about conservation projects that can be used on both the Yangtze and Mississippi. While the students learned about the problems challenging the Mississippi and Yangtze, Jeb Barzen, a wildlife biologist, explained they should also learn about the importance of bridging each other’s culture.President of the Environment and Public Health Network for Chinese Students, Xiaojun Lu, said the Mississippi and Yangtze Rivers are uniting these students from opposite ends of the earth.Organizers say the success and spirit of this first gathering of students will lead to other trips, including one down the Yangtze.4. Where is the source of the Mississippi?A. WisconsinB. the Gulf of MexicoC. MinnesotaD. Iowa5. According to Paragraph 8, Barzen believes that__________ .A. cultural exchange between different countries is of great importanceB. the Mississippi is more important than the Yangtze to the worldC. China and the U.S. should work together to protect the environmentD. the program encourages technical cooperation between China and the U.S6. What is the passage mainly about?A. A major river system in the United States.B. The differences between the Mississippi and the Yangtze.C. An educational program about tourism.D. An international cultural exchange programsCMost earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth's surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous(灾难性的) earthquakes is very small.The extent(扩大)of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist(抵抗) an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result.The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides.) In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them "tsunamis", meaning "harbor waves", because they reach a sizable height only in harbors.Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate(适当的) warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves. But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.8. The destruction of Agadir is an example of ______.A. faulty building constructionB. an earthquake's strengthC. widespread panic in earthquakesD. ineffective instruments9. The United Nations' experts are supposed to______A. construct strong buildingsB. put forward proposals(建议)C. detect(探测)disastrous earthquakesD. monitor(监控) earthquakes10. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may______.A. notice them out at seaB. find ways to stop themC. be warned early enoughD. develop warning systems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。

AOn Sunday morning,after listening to a sermon(布道) about making “A World of Difference”, we stopped at the gas station for a snack and drinks.When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January , in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.I,hesitantly,asked if we could give her a lift somewhere . I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.I went inside the gas stati on to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting outside in the cold and wished I could do something to help her. So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate.Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t come her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate --- but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers!21. Why did the young girl wait on the road?A. Because she waited for her friends.B. Because her gas had given out and she waited for someone to help her.C. Because she wanted to buy some food.D. Because she wanted to borrow some money.22. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?A: The nursing home. B. The shop. C. The hospital. D. The church.23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. People often helped the young girl.B. The author regretted having helped the young girl later.C. The young girl seldom helped others.D. People seldom helped the young girl like the author.24. How did the author help her?A. The author bought her a certificate that she needed.B. The author helped her to borrow the gas.C. The author bought her some food and drinks.D. The author bought her a coat.BGood relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive,it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say,when to say it,how to say it,and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work,from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds,raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore,supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relationship.Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me,I always believe that love needs open communication, respect,support and understanding each other in making relationships work.25. The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably meansA. upsettingB. surprisingC. funnyD. helpless26. To communicate well with people, you should know thatA. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with youB. compromises are essential at any timeC. a white lie is necessary sometimesD. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship27. According to the text,which of the following are important for a good relationship'?a. communicationb. supportc. hidden selvesd. loveA. abdB. acdC. bcdD. abc28. What would be the best title for the text ?A. The importance to express disagreementsB. Forbidden rules in building good relationshipsC. Different opinions on good relationshipsD. Keys to making relationships workCSpeaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something that's known to take longer for older adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold,a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults,knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However,they found older adults speaking two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didn't. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人),defined in the study as peoplespeaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.First,Gold and his team asked 30 people,either bilingual or monolingual,to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then,they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally,they presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts(提词) for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching time.The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the moving prompts. Researchers found bilingual people~not only able to switch tasks faster一they had different brain activities compared with their monolingual peers.Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment",because people grow up speaking two languages,and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.Gold said he grew up in Montreal,where he spoke French at school and English at home,prompting relatives to question whether his French language attention would somehow stop his ability to learn English.“Until recently,learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous,”he said, “Actually, it's beneficial.”29. Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment" becauseA. people speaking two languages are beautifulB. people speaking two languages are naturalC. people speaking two languages like the experimentD. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages30. Gold's relatives were puzzled when he spoke French at school and English at home becauseA. they thought it would affect his progressB. they thought it would be of little help to himC. they were afraid that learning French would affect his English learningD. they thought that French was useless31. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers found bilingual people respond slowly.B. Researchers found bilinguals can slow down the speed of aging on the brain and respond fast.C. Researchers found bilinguals are great.D. Researchers found speaking two languages is very important.32. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood isA. not beneficial to childrenB. dangerous but beneficial to childrenC. not dangerous but beneficial to childrenD. dangerous to childrenDJanelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, sh e wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.33.It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.A.Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at workB.Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily workC.Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearanceD.Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all34.What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A.We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.B.We are careful enough in daily life.C.We all have done something creative.D.We all have done loads of things like Janelle.35.What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?A.Be creative. B.Do things right.C.Stick to old ways. D.A bad beginning makes a bad ending.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing(抑制) anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙),They speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ____37_____. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease,and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize thereal cause of the anger,then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say,“ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that hasmade you angry. 40____.A. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.B. Anger may cause you a cancerC. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.E. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.F. Do not express your anger while angry.G. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节:完型填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

They used to meet on the bank of a river and play together. One day the ducks told the rabbit that they had found a carrot farm on the other bank of the river. The rabbit was excited and quickly asked for the help of his friends to cross the river, reach the farm and enjoy the carrots. The ducks agreed to carry him across the river.They made a wonderful plan to cross the river. The two ducks entered the river and stayed close to each other. The rabbit carefully got on their backs and stayed still. Then the ducks slowly swam across the river, staying close to each other. The rabbit cautiously stayed on top of the moving birds.Right before they reached the center of the river, the ducks suddenly saw a large number of fishes swimming together. In the excitement of finding a delicious meal in the water, the ducks quickly swam to either side to catch the fishes. They forgot about the poor rabbit on their backs, who fell down into the deep river as the ducks moved away. The ducks remembered their job only after they finished their meal. However, by that time the poor rabbit had already drowned (淹死). The foolish ducks were sorry to miss their good friend.From this short story, we know love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which is shown it in action.46.

It’s a day “to find out what really interests kids and then get them involved in (参与) a volunteer project,” according to its founder, Steven Culbertson. Global Youth Service Day is actually three days. This year, it is from April 26th to 28th.In Billings, Montana, kids who like art helped create a mural (壁画) on a wall along a bike path, according to the Billings Gazette. “My mom knows I love to paint, so she signed me up for this,” said 12-year-old Cassie Langton. “I’m glad she did.”In Saint Stephen, South Carolina, kids from Saint Stephen Elementary School volunteered at a local nursing home. “I just want to help the people living there feel better and cheer them up,” fourth-grader Nukell Moore said.And in Evansville, Indiana, nearly 600 kids turned out on Saturday for a great project to help clean up the city. They said they found a lot of cigarettes. “A lot of people who smoke like to litter,” 10-year-old Isaac Koch noted.Organizers of Global Youth Service Day say other kids focused on things such as hunger and homelessness.In the end, the mission (使命) of Global Youth Service Day is to show you that you don’t have to wait until you’re a grown-up to make a positive difference in your own community.53.

Easterners had just read an article about him. The presidential election (选举) was near, and Lincoln wanted to increase his popularity. So he accepted the invitation to the East happily. Then he took the long trip across the country.When Lincoln arrived in New York, he was surprised to learn that so many people had bought tickets for his speech that it had been moved from a small Brooklyn church to a New York City college. Now, Lincoln would speak in the Great Hall at Cooper Union.Lincoln got to town tired. His suit was badly ruined, and his bag was old. Worst of all, his plain face, unruly hair, and awkward (笨拙的) manner shocked those who greeted him. However, his admirers, New York Republicans, decided to have Lincoln photographed.On the morning of February 27, 1860, Lincoln was taken to the gallery by the city’s most famous photographer, Mathew Brady. Brady walked over to Lincoln and, with a sudden pull, pulled up Lincoln’s shirt collar as high as it would go. Surprisingly, Lincoln said, “I see you want to shorten my neck.”Lincoln’s speech that day was a success. So did the photograph. Brady insisted that this picture was a good helper to Lincoln’s election nine months later.57. Why did Lincoln accept the invitation to the East excitedly?A. He was well-known all over Illinois.B. He hoped to introduce himself to new voters.C. He had never been to the East before.D. He wanted to give a speech in New York.58. At first, the speech would be given in .A. a Brooklyn churchB.

His acting was funny and original, and his fighting skill was hard to believe.Lee was born in San Francisco, California, in 1940. Soon after that, he moved to Hong Kong with his family, so he was raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. As a child, Lee performed in 20 movies. At the age of 18, he started to learn kung fu. His skill grew very quickly.In 1959, Bruce moved back to America and went to high school and university there. To earn money, he taught martial arts. After several years’ practice, he developed a new style of martial arts, called “Jeet Kune Do”.
