2014-2015学年【解析版】辽宁省抚顺市重点高中协作校高一下学期期末考试英语试题

2014-2015学年【解析版】辽宁省抚顺市重点高中协作校高一下学期期末考试英语试题It was the first snow of winter — an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and if made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots (靴子).In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t re alize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence (信心).I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them”.Someho w, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying (烦人的) little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With а greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens?”I loo ked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.1. The little girl was more satisfied with her_____.A．trousers B．jacket C．boots D．hat2. Miss Finlayson had difficulty with the girl’s boots mainly because_____.A．the girl got them from her brother B．the girl put something in themC．they were on the wrong feet D．they did not fit the girl well3. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.C．Because the little girl played a trick on her.D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.4. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson____.A．was losing confidence in the little girlB．gradually lost patience with the little girlC．became disappointed with the little girlD．was getting bored with the little girlBrian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris.He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.“Give this package to JeanPaul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it.I think you can find him easily,” Tony said. “You don’t have any luggage, right?”“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carryon bag.”“That’s right.One carryon bag is fine. Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Brian a criminal(犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for theair-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, aircourier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to tak e a vacation!5. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?A．Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.B．Because that made him easier to be recognized.C．Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.D．Because he did not have any luggage with him.6. An air-courier is a person who ________.A．manages a business company in foreign countriesB．organizes international flights for touristsC．travels around the world with cheap ticketsD．delivers papers and packages to foreign countries7. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air-courier is that he ________.A．cannot decide when and where to travelB．cannot take any luggage with himC．has to wear two pairs of jeansD．saves little money from the travel8. The author of the text mainly ________.A．describes the activities of a law-breakerB．suggests an ideal way to travelC．argues against the air-courier travelD．tells us about a developing businessHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces. They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks (象牙), and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families, They drink only every 3-4 days, and can store water in a “bag” a t the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders —they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus keep what little food sources are available. Yong elephants may even eat the dung (粪便)of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought (干旱) they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt (适应) as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.9. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means “_______”.A．remains in the African countriesB．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areasD．eats 150 kilograms of food daily10. Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they_______.A．rarely ruin treesB．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groupsD．protect food sources for their young11. What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements (组成部分) of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.LanguageA knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and attitudesValues are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and mannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad (色拉)before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as abreakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.12. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people _________.A．to be more open with their customersB．to communicate without outside helpC．to express their thoughts indirectlyD．to have a better idea of their own culture13. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________.A．manners B．values C．attitudes D．customs14. What would be the best title for the text?A．Misconceptions in Business B．Basic Beliefs in BusinessC．International Business Culture D．Successful International Business15. The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people ___________A．how to take a right attitude in businessB．how to avoid misunderstandings in businessC．how to use a local language in businessD．how to act politely and properly in businessWays to fight the fluThe flu is annoying enough on its own. In order to keep yourself from it, follow these tips.★Get the flu vaccine (疫苗). It’s the best way to protect yourself against the flu. 16 It also helps the people around you because there’s less chance you will catch the flu and pass it on.★Wash your hands often. Hand washing is an important way to protect against germs (细菌) like flu viruses. 17 So get in the habit of washing your hands when you come home from school, the mall, or anywhere else where you are around a lot of people.★ 18 Flu viruses travel through the air, so try to stay away from people who look sick. It’s also a good idea to avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth –three places flu viruses can easily enter the body.★Cough or sneeze into a tissue (手巾纸) –not into your hands. That way, you’re not spreading the virus when you touch surfaces that other people may touch too.★ 19 You don’t want to pass your germs to someone else. And staying home is a great excuse to watch your favorite movie, play video games, or read to have a good rest. 20You also can fight the flu by getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting regular exercise.Don’t let the flu ruin your fall and winter fun. Fight back!选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.〞 I ended up staying for seven years.Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy.

The writer referred to the Julia Roberts of Korea as a bad comparison to show______.A. she looked down upon Julia Roberts.B. she disliked to be compared with othersC. she had a different style of performingD. she was better at dramatic roles than JuliaBMona Lisa, the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece, had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting, a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared(红外线) and three-dimensional〔三维的〕technology to study the paint layers on the work, which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris.Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Center for Research and Restoration said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil.〔透明面纱〕"This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine," he told a news conference."We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa, which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503."The young woman with the ambiguous half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco de Giocondo. She had five children."People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue (美德)," he said.The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting techniques, which the artist used to create a hazy (朦胧的) effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke〔笔触〕detail on the painting.25. According to the latest research, Mona Lisa was __________.A．a woman of poor virtue B．da Vinci’s second wifeC．a woman who was pregnant D．the wife of Florentine merchant26. The information reported in the text was first got from _______________.A．a newspaper B．the InternetC．a news conference D．the museum27. We can infer from the test that ___________.A．The research has been carried out in FranceB．Mona Lisa was painted in 1503 at the latestC．In da Vinci’s time women could only wear short hairD．the most difficulty is to identify the paint layers28. What is probably the best title for the test?A．Mona Lisa ,the Mysterious WomanB．Mona Lisa was a New MotherC．Great Discovery in PaintingD．Leonardo’s Painting TechniqueCNelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans heis a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政权)Mandela, who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid(种族隔离) in 1944,retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,〞 said Ali Bacher, South Africa’s former cricket(板球) chief.His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait has appeared at many places, including on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan(大都会的)area was named in his honor and some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness---- the Statue of Freedom. It would stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few politicians in his times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science department of the University of the Witwatersrand.〞Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political career. He is a very,very clever man,〞However, he is far from perfect.Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, briefly mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings. Then they returned to their flowing praises. “Through the ages, the human race has had its icons〔偶像〕---- men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generation,〞The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson Mandela.〞29. Nelson Mandela is loved by all the people of South Africa because_____________.

Rob and Sally,Time flies, especially when it’s a good time!I’m now back in , refreshed after a sound sleep.We came to the moment when we had to say good-bye to each other before I actually realized it. The moment I r eached your home, I couldn’t help associating your living surr oundings with a beautiful garden in our country where many p eople (especially senior citizens) flock to relax or exercise. Bu t actually in China it seems like a dream for people to have s uch a habitat, with countless trees, flowers and various grass surrounding. Honestly, I can remember that I have onl y ever read about it in a fairy tale.To you, my friend, I owe a great debt of heartfelt appreciation for not only providing us with an excellent exploration of quite a different exotic culture and specific customs, but also prese nting us a feast for our eyes, allowing us to learn a lot from you---- the true love between you and Sally, our friendly hostess; fin e qualities of hard work and kindness; considerate care and h elp for others, just to name a few.Thanks for the many times you took trouble to take us to and pick us from lots of different places---shopping centres, schools, and some scenic spots. And thank you for the delicious dishes you made for us. At each dinner, you always took into account Chinese flavour, which made us feel at home. The most impressive one is “Christ mas pudding ”, a mouth-watering dish that Sally elaborately made for us. And then comes the unforgettable occasion--- a night club in another town, through which we learned a lot about a typical Aussie life. It is really, really a dream place for elderly people to while away the time. From the figure game s, from the stage performance, from the smiles, from the laug hter, from the whistles, applause, etc, it takes little mental lab our for us to find what a happy life you were living. I nearly co uld not hide my jealousy.Before I come to the end of my email, I’d like to say to you, m y friends, Rob and Sally, that more walking less driving; mor e fruit less cigarettes; more leisure less work, and you’ll make more out of life and enjoy more of life.It’s really an experience I’ll treasure forever.Looking forward to hearing from you soon.Waiting to see our pictures.YoursWhisky36. Which of the following can not be used to describe Rob and Sally?A. considerateB. friendlyC. hard-workingD. modest37. The writer writes to thank Rob and Sally for the following e xcept_______.A. providing an excellent exploration of many thingsB. an unforgettable visit to another townC. delicious dishes like “Chinese pudding”D. the trouble they took to help the writer learn.38.

The writer had a good time with Rob and Sally when they were together.B. They enjoyed many delicious Chinese dishes.C. Many things left a deep impression on the writer.D. The writer appreciated the way people there lived.BMany children first learn the value of money by receiving an al lowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to sp end as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is anoth er consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Othe rs get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with th e money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard wa y that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are us ually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance . The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothi ng or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances s ay it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the h ome. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying childr en to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful . It can even provide an understanding of how a business wor ks. Allowances give children a chance to experience the thing s they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gift s or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying thing s they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sac rifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future.40. The purpose of an allowance is _________.A. help children learn from experience early before financial m istakes are costly.B. let children buy what they wantC. let them le arn the value of moneyD. help children learn to save at an early age41. What should parents be sure about before an allowance is given?A. what their children is expected to buy with the moneyB. how much money should be given as an allowanceC. whether their children has a budget for the allowanceD. whether their children are in need of the money42. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. The amount of money that parents give to their children.B. How often they should give their children an allowance.C. Spending must be done within a budget.D. The more work they do at home, the more allowance they will receive.43. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Children should be paid for what they do at home.B. It is children’s responsibility to help parents with housework .C. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice.D. Children can’t spend their allowance as they like.CSolar water heaters are used around the world and are not ve ry difficult to build. The system we are going to describe is ba sed on a design developed some years ago in . Since then, it has been built and used in many countries.It can heat 70 liters of water to sixty degrees Celsius. It can do this between sunrise and noon on a clear day with an avera ge air temperature of 32 degrees Celsius.There are 2 parts to the solar water heater. One part is made of a sheet of metal painted black. Black surfaces become hott er in the sun than surfaces painted any other color. This black metal plate is called a collector. The collector is placed in con tact with the water. There are several kinds of metal sheets th at can be used for the collector. Corrugated metal will work ve ry well. Corrugated sheets are often used as roofs on housing . Once the water is heated, it is kept hot with insulation materi al. This allows the water to stay warm for a long time.The second part of the solar water heater holds the water for t he system. This storage tank can be a container that holds ab out 100 liters. Two rubber pipes are attached to the water stor age tank. One pipe lets water flow into the system. The other l ets water flow out.When the water heater is working correctly, water will flow fro m the storage tank to the collector and back again. You can u se the hot water at the top of the tank for washing and cleanin g. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature i s hot or warm as desired. This solar water heater is easy to b uild and operate. It will last about 2 years before the rubber pi pes need to be replaced.There is also something else you will need to make the solar water heater work -- the sun. As you might expect, the heater will heat water only on sunny days.44. Which of the following is not one of the advantages of a s olar water heater?A. It is easy to build and operate.B. It can hold a lot of water and keep water warm for a long ti me.C. It depends on weather condition.D. You can change the flow of water so that the temperature i s hot or warm as desired.45.

They are thinly blanketed with fog , featuring that it seems like a romantic picture to my eyes. Th e scene reminds me of a milestone on my life journey. I walke d through that milestone through challenges in one winter. It was also a test for my perseverance and determination.If I thought of that trip, the first person I saw in mind is my uncle who took me along with him to be able to set a new mile stone on my journey of life. One fine winter morning, he dropp ed in at my house and asked me how much perseverance I c ould exert in practice. I was annoyed of being asked such a q uestion. He smiled at me and continued that there would be a test for my perseverance if I was willing to take part in. Withou t second thought, I accepted his challenge.Then, I was taken to the foot of the mountain ranges and my uncle asked me if I was ready to take the test or not. A nod was an answer. Then, we started walking up along the mou ntain ranges. For first few mountain ranges, I seemed okay w alking on a narrow lane up to the top of the mountain, but soo n I found my strength was instantly wearing out. However, Ih ad to keep on walking up as I had no choice.As soon as I stepped on the top of the mountain, I saw ano ther mountain range there. Gradually my excitement declined and all I dreamed of at that time was a nice bed of mine at ho me. The more I walked on, the heavier my body was. I deeply came to know about the force of gravity. I wanted to give up my attempt of walking. But I saw my uncle’s face in my mind. I held up my head high again to reach my destination. The wh ole body was soaked with sweat while carrying a burden of be ans along with me. I made up my mind not to think of too muc h. I tried to balance my steps on a narrow lane through the m ountain ranges.I tried to carry my heavy body till I could see a pagoda at t he peak of the mountain. It was the last mountain range. Air fl owed out through my ears. I was too tired! I found myself cra wling on a narrow lane to get there. At last, I reached my desti nation. A delight of conquering myself rolled up.

辽宁省师大附中高考英语考前精品卷

2015年辽师大附中高三年级模拟考试外语试卷第一部分听力（满分30）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，，满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑）ABreathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown. Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smil es fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the d iploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.21. What’s the article mainly about?A. An American high school’s graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college’s farewe ll party.22. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?A. She was one of the graduates.B. She was a foreign exchange student.C. She was excited to receive her diploma.D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.23. The right order of the following events is______.a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.b. Students gave farewell speeches.c. The US national anthem was played.d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.e. Seniors went into the stadium.A. b,c,a,d,eB. c,d,b,e,aC.d,b,e,a,c D. e,d,c,b,a24. From the text, we can conclude that_______.A. a diploma ensures a good jobB. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaBThe secrets of happiness all lie in your Operating System. The trouble is that we get blinded by our Operating System. This is because our Operating System attempts to fit what’s happening around us into our Operating System’s expectations. Anything different is resisted as much as it can be.So your Operation System is always going to be riddled with flaws(缺点) and errors. It’s in it’s nature. This is where all progress and evolution comes from . Every flaw and bug you discover and fix in the Operating System is another leap forward in the quality of your life.The evolution of society comes from the fact that each generation rebels against the previous one. And so each generation discovers a flaw and caused an upgrade in our cultural Operating System.The established order in every field and every area of life will find itself challenged. And over time more and more flaws will be discovered about what we previously believed to be facts. This is how life progresses and advances.Now every day across the world there are hundreds of instances where people are making new discoveries and overturning old beliefs. This is the process of life.If you want something that you don’t have ---it’s your Op erating system that is blocking it off to you. This means you have to identify the flaw in your Operating System that is blocking you from having what you want. Then you transform the structure of your Operating System to let it in.Opportunities are around you all the time. There is never a boat that you must catch. There is another boarding all the time. It is only the fact that you aren’t seeing the opportunities that stops you from getting what you want.Upgrading your Operating System is training it to show you the opportunities all around you. And then life is like picking fruit from a tree.25. According to the passage, our Operating System ______.A. resists valuable things as more as possibleB. neglects everything that happens around usC. always attempts to meet its expectationsD. is not essential to our happiness sometimes26. The underlined part “be riddled with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.A. be opposed toB. be free fromC. be friends withD. be full of27. If you want to improve the quality of your life, you should _______.A. avoid mistakes in your everyday lifeB. discover flaws in your Operating SystemC. take all the information around youD. take a suspecting attitude towards life28. According to the author, our society progresses because _____.A. the young approve of what their ancestors didB. younger generations put the wrong things rightC. computers have undated the old Operating SystemD. old computers are constantly replaced by new onesCYou never see them, but they’re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They’re known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French Submarine(潜水艇) detected the device’s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane ---the area least subject to impact --- from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots’ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperature up to 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.29.

They have stopped sending homing signalsD. They were destroyed somewhere near BrazilDHilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She was his father’s only sister, but his f ather used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tired to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother’s opinion.Hilary discovered his aunt’s address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary’s star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.“Will?” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.”“Didn’t you make another will when you were married?” Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head. “No,” she said in a low voice. “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt’s only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilary’s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear conclusion. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don’t blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn’t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me. Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you will get nothing. No, Hilary, don’t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don’t want to know. Good night, Hilary.Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.33. From the story, we learn that Hilary’s aunt was ______.A. bad-tempered and lonelyB. kind-hearted and wiseC. careless about moneyD. Cruel to her niece34. The underlined sentence “He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.” In paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith ______.A. was determined to put his aunt’s life to an endB. decide to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyerC. made up his mind to take good care of his auntD. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people35. Which of the following is the focus of the story?A. Hilary’s aunt’s moneyB. Hilary Smith’s debtsC. The intended murderD. Hilary’s aunt’s marriage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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI miss you, Dad. I almost laugh out when I see you in myself, from the thinning hair on my head to the ways I respond to everyday things. It makes me realize that you are a part of me and will always be in my heart. It brings me a warm smile as I remember how you taught me about character, honesty, integrity （正直）, and self-respect. You taught me to enjoy my work. You taught me to share, for only by giving something do I truly receive something. You taught me about love, as you loved all seven of us children so much. You set a good example to us by being at church each time the door was open. I was watching you as you led our family in prayer each night before going to bed. Through you Dad, I learned what is truly important in life. I now know that you continue to live with me and I hope I have passed the valuable traits down to my kids.You lost your father when you were only two years old. Your mother fell ill when you were 13 years old. You knew that dropping out of middle school and helping provide for your mother were necessities. So you did three jobs a day to supportyour mother and after you got married you worked even harder to support your family.So, parents ,especially fathers, remember that you do make a difference by what you teach your children. You can make a difference to the world.Children, now is the right time to express your love and thanks to your dads for what they do for you. A big hug, a warm thank-you, and living a life of purpose will give them more joy than you can imagine.21.What makes the author laugh out loud is that ______.A. his dad stays with him most of the timeB. he is like his dad in appearance and behavior.C.

AI’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wi nd blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.1. The writer went to Iceland to ______.A. enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergsB. take photos about the region for a bookC. collect materials for psychological researchD. challenge the high mountains there2. During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.A. they got lost in the mountainB. they were short of food and fuelC. they couldn’t see the surroundings clearlyD. they failed to get in touch with the rescue team3. From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.A. were in despair before they were rescuedB. stayed in the hut for three days altogetherC. got sick because of going for ski outsideD. got rescued immediately the weather turned fine4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.B. In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.C. The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.D. Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.BWell, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sh aring,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.5. The American teens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.A. it is most fashionable and coolB. they are bored with driving carsC. they are fond of being connectedD. it is much cheaper than a car6. We can learn from the text that _______.A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goalsB. ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each otherC. driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technologyD. having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother7. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.A. young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passageB. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recessionC. young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of TwitterD. being connected via technology comes first for young people8. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A. Twitter, an Awesome WebsiteB. Cars or iPhoneC. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb RidesD. Cool Teens on the GoCImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object．This is now possible with the help of 3D printers．Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies．But now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States．Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago．The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter, an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers．Bryan Jaycox requires $ 15 an hour to print an object．He also charges a fee depending on the size of the object and up to $ 50 an hour for design and labor services．The Jaycoxs also offer 3D printing classes for anyone who is interested．One of the students in a recent class was Ki Chong Tran．He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia．"The demand has been amazing．It's been much more than I would have imagined," said Ki Chong Tran．"I think 3D printing is going to be huge．It's going to make a huge impact on society as a whole," he added．Mr Jaycox predicts that within five years, 3D printing technology could becomemore consumer friendly．But Ki Chong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia．"With 3D printing you can give them tools, and you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development．They learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank．You can actually create things that give value to the world," said Ki Chong Tran．He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality．9．We learn from Paragraph l that 3D printing_________．A. is now available to ordinary peopleB．first appeared in the United StatesC．can turn your every dream into realityD．is now only used by universities10．Bryan Jaycox opened The Build Shop LLC to__________．A．sell 3D printers and different kinds of toolsB．produce all types of printing machinesC．offer 3D printing classes and servicesD．design different types of 3D printers11．In Mr Jaycox's opinion, within five years 3D printing will_________．A．make it easier to do businessB．be accessible to all consumersC．change the way of social contactD．bring about more profits to the sellers12．How will 3D printing technology benefit developing countries according to the text?A．It helps the people work efficiently at a bank．B．It will promote the learning of EnglishC．It will accelerate the development of tourism．D．It offers them a new way of development．DAs thousands of communities in the USA — especially in the South — became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.Education programs needed to be built from scratch. “We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit (招聘)teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English.But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who don’t speak English — an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities.“The parents’ role is very important for the success of these students, but it's also one of the most difficult things we’ve had to tackle(处理),” said Jim D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.”Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants.13. According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing?A. Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities.B. Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states.C. Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents.D. Providing education for non-native English learners.14. The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “________”.A. completely newB. painful to makeC. based on past experienceD. constructed gradually15. What do we know about the immigrant parents?A. Many of them cannot speak English.B. Most of them think education is not important.C. Some of them feel skeptical about the local community.D. Few of them have attended American schools.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
