AHanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greetingcards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.1.

Finally I got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in andwas stuck in such a way that unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food.”That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken!

There are at least seventy-five kinds of cetaceans. Scientists divide the various kinds into two major groups — baleen whales, which do not have teeth, and toothed whales, which have teeth.Whales have the same basic shape as fish, but they differ from fish in many ways. The most noticeable difference is the tail. Fish have vertical (垂直的) tail fins(鳍), but whales have horizontal tail fins. Fish breathe by means of gills (腮), while whales have lungs (肺) and must come to the surface to breathe. But they can hold their breath for long periods.Like other mammals, whales give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by the mother’s body. Most fish, however, lay eggs and do not feed their young. Whales are also warm-blooded — that is, their body temperature remains about the same all the time. Almost all fish are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the water.Whales have a highly developed brain and they are highly advanced life forms. They sing to their young, engage in complex family relationships, and their communication skills are fine.In December 2005, a whale, after being rescued from fishing nets, didn’t just swim back to deep water. It hung around and touched each of the divers with its mouth. “Knowing that it was free, it stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun,” said dive master James Moskito. He thought it was “one of the most fantastic moments” of his life.13. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following shows the correct relationship?A. Mammals are a type of cetacean.B. Cetaceans are not a type of mammal.C. Whales belong to the cetacean family.D. Mammals are a type of whale.14. Why didn’t the whale swim back to the sea after it was saved?A. It lost its way in the sea.B. It was seriously wounded.C. It was frightened by the divers.D. It wanted to thank the divers15. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. How whales catch their food.B. How whales live in the ocean.C. The differences between whales and fish.D. Whales are highly advanced life forms.第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

B.India. C.Ukraine. D.Thailand.BI was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4: 00. Since I work from 9: 00 to 5: 30, the only ti me I could go to the theatre was during my 45­minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus.By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office.The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however,I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.5.The man learned ________ that there would be a concert last Friday.A.from his friends B.from one of his work­matesC.over the radio D.from the newspaper6.He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only ________. A.once B.twice C.three times D.four times7.One day the man took ________ to get to the theatre by bus.A.forty­five minutes B.fifteen minutesC.just twenty minutes D.over an hour8.The underlined word“relieved” may best be replaced by ________.A.surprised B.pleased C.puzzled D.sorryCThe interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,“Which is more important,law or Dove?”Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.Employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验).According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test , he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.9.The writer wrote the passage to________.A.give you a piece of advice on a job interviewB.tell you how to meet a job interviewerC.describe the aptitude testD.advice you how to find a job10.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?A.They want to discover what the interviewees know.B.They are curious about the answers.C.They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems. D.They just ask questions without thinking much.11.According to the writer,in an aptitude test,Chinese job applicants should________. A.not tell the truth B.learn to tell what they really thinkC.be more enthusiastic D.try to find out what the examiner really want to knowDI still read out loud to my son. He is in fifth grade and an avid reader. He plows through books and is currently devouring (津津有味地看) The Hobbit which he calls “addicting”. But he still likes it when I read out loud to him before bed.I've always read to him, I could probably recite Goodnight Moon by heart and I like to think it has helped to instill his love of reading in him.But as he's gotten older, reading to him has changed. The books are longer, of course, and sometimes he corrects me if I misread a word in the dim light of his room. But what's really changed is what we both get out of it.When I was in fifth grade, I had a wonderful teacher, Mr Hanks, who would read aloud to the class after lunch. I remember him reading Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and me hanging on every word. I could hardly wait for lunch to be over to find out what happened next to little Charlie Bucket.Now I'm giving the same gift to my own son. Last week he brought me a copy of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol he found on the shelf and asked me to read it to him. One of the bonuses of reading to an older child is that you can revisit a beloved book from your past or be exposed to a book you have never read yourself.Such was the case with A Christmas Carol which I admit I had never read. So when I started reading I worried that it would be difficult since the book uses expressionsand the language Dickens used in the 1840's. I found myself having to define things such as braziers and balustrades.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to put up a nest and place it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied(陪伴) in the nest by the greatest sight of all — Lunch! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain(徒劳的).B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.5. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure(治愈) a young owl.6. What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CSuppose you’re in a rush, feeling tire d, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to handle.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored. Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunde rstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to it’s subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but acciden tally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.8. After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. awfulD. funny9. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. apologise in a serious mannerB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctlyD. send a short notice to everyone10. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement(参与).C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents.D. Improving email writing.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewedby some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.12. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It implies anger.B. It promotes friendship.C. It is culture-specific.D. It is content-based.13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A. The Chinese.B. The French.C. The Mexicans.D. The Russians.14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.B. Break it while treating patients.C. Evaluate its harm to patients.D. Make use of its healing effects.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Sound and SilenceB. What It Means to Be SilentC. Silence to Native AmericansD. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

AHanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together.

So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change.

There are at least seventy-five kinds of cetaceans. Scientists divide the various kinds into two major groups — baleen whales, which do not have teeth, and toothed whales, which have teeth.Whales have the same basic shape as fish, but they differ from fish in many ways. The most noticeable difference is the tail. Fish have vertical (垂直的) tail fins(鳍), but whales have horizontal tail fins. Fish breathe by means of gills (腮), while whales have lungs (肺) and must come to the surface to breathe. But they can hold their breath for long periods.Like other mammals, whales give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by the mother’s body. Most fish, however, lay eggs and do not feed their young. Whales are also warm-blooded —that is, their body temperature remains about the same all the time. Almost all fish are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the water.Whales have a highly developed brain and they are highly advanced life forms. They sing to their young, engage in complex family relationships, and their communication skills are fine.In December 2005, a whale, after being rescued from fishing nets, didn’t just swim back to deep water. It hung around and touched each of the divers with its mouth.“Knowing that it was free, it stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun,” said dive master James Moskito. He thought it was “one of the most fantastic moments” of his life.13. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following shows the correct relationship?A. Mammals are a type of cetacean.B. Cetaceans are not a type of mammal.C. Whales belong to the cetacean family.D. Mammals are a type of whale.14. Why didn’t the whale swim bac k to the sea after it was saved?A. It lost its way in the sea.B. It was seriously wounded.C. It was frightened by the divers.D. It wanted to thank the divers15. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. How whales catch their food.B. How whales live in the ocean.C. The differences between whales and fish.D. Whales are highly advanced life forms.第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Susan can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Susan’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Susan’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Susan’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway rebuild inspired Susan. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors spent their spare timehelping3others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to take water and food to elderly people trapped(困住) in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Susan says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Susan’s choice was to help.She created a website page ,matching survivors in need with donors(捐赠者)who wanted to help. Susan posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Susan also worked with other organizations to bring much needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Susan says. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.” 4.

A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed C. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5. According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Susan most? A. The volunteers donating money to survivors. B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings. C. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people. 6. How did Susan help the survivors? A. She gave her toys to other kids. B. She took care of younger children. C. She asked the White House for help. D. She built an information sharing platform. 7. What does the story intend to tell us?4A. Little people can make a big difference.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. East or west, home is best.D. Technology is power. CGoing green seems to be a fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.8 What might be the best title for the passage? A. Going GreenB. Protecting the PlanetC. Keeping Open-MindedD. Celebrating Our Green Year9. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because . A. they were expected to follow the green fad B. they didn’t know how to educate other people C. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks510. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year? A. They chose better chemical cleaners. B. They ignored others’ ungreen behavior. C. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits. D. They sold their home-made food. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green project.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.DI set out to change the lives of those who need help by joining my school’s newly formed Free The Children Club. Through the determination of friends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair, and I have become the leaders of the club.Already, after only two years of fundraising(筹款), we have raised over three thousand dollars and almost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hour famine(饥饿) is planned resulting in completely no consumption(消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determine where our funds will be spent and donated (捐赠). Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooks for every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but also first-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It dose not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world.12. An annual 24-hour famine is held to _____.6A. help understand poor people betterB. draw people’s attention to the clubC. call on people not to waste foodD. save food for hungry people13. How to spend the raised money is based on the opinion of _____. A. the donatorsB. the fundraisersC. the most of the club membersD. the club leaders14. Poverty can result in some problems except_____.A. deathB. diseaseC. hungerD. wealth 15. Why does the author write the text? A. To introduce the Free The Children Club. B. To encourage people to change the world. C. To present the serious outcomes of poverty. D.

ASan Francisco Fire Engine ToursRunning: February 1st through April 30thThis delicious tour goes through the city on its way to Treasure Island where we will stop at the famous Winery SF.

A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chic ks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied(陪伴) in the nest by the greatest sight of all — Lunch! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain(徒劳的).B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.5.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure(治愈) a young owl.6.What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B.Some food.C. A recording.D.Its parents.7.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CSuppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. Youfreeze in horror and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to handle.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet.Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasantconversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to it’s subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’r e discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly andsensibly—see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.8.After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.A. curiousB. tiredC. awfulD. funny9.If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. apologise in a serious mannerB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. learn to write the name correctlyD. send a short notice to everyone10. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?A. Try offering other choices.B. Avoid further involvement(参与).C. Meet other staff members.D. Make a light-hearted apology.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Handling email accidents.D. Improving email writing.DThe meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly wh en dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence。

2018-2019学年山西省汾阳市第二高级中学高一10月月考英语试题

2018-2019学年山西省汾阳市第二高级中学高一10月月考英语试题客观卷(70分)第一部分阅读理解(两节共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和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860—1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907—1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913—2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Par ks.1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B .Her teaching skills.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. Her little work experience in court.C. The discrimination against women.D. The poor financial conditions.3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?A. Jane Addams.B. Rachel Carson.C. Sandra Day O’Conn or.D. Rosa Parks.4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers.D. They are peace-lovers.BAlthough his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.“There are many better ones available now. It's time to upgrade(更新)my phone.”Li’s impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released (发布,发售), many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.As consumers’ minds are occupied by Apple’s newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?”According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰)” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry.Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.“This is an old-time trick---they’re not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies--many of them producing personal electronics-- release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six m onths or a year, they’ll put out a new one.”But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted, “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin(利润) was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC maker, it was only 7 percent.Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, ev en when the changes are slight. As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.“Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”5. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s greed for new products?A. Supportive.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Unclear.6. How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?A. They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy.B. They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.C. They control the customers’ way of thinking while shopping.D. They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia.7. Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product?A. To provide customers with better service.B. To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard.C. To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers.D. To make huge profits out of its business.8. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone asa result of____.A. new psychologyB. peer pressureC. life styleD. friends' expectationCWhen my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.9. Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?A. Havinga car ride.B. Taking the train twice.C. Buying more than one toy.D. Touring the historic district.10. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?A. Building confidence in herself.B. Reducing her use of private cars.C. Developing her sense of direction.D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.11. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of (不赞成)?A. Airplane.B. Subway.C. Tram.D. Car.DOne of the greatest contributions(投稿)to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used.This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon(外科医生)who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always refuse to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell(囚室)at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.12. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _______.A. came out before Minor diedB. was edited by an American volunteerC. included the English words invented by MurrayD. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary13. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary?A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C. He provided a great number of words and quotations.D. He went to England to work with Murray.14. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _______.A. they both served in the Civil WarB. they had a common interest in wordsC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor15. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and Minor.C. Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.D. Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.第二部分完形填空(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36-55各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AReading body language is very exciting indeed! If you know how to read and explain body language, you can predict other people’s mood and thinking process. Read body language information below. You’ll discover body language secrets that most people will never know. Get the upper hand!Pay attention to how close someone is to you. The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. But it is worth noting that personal space is culturally fluid; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away for another.Watch their head position. An overly tilted (翘起的) head is either a potential sign of sympathy, or if a person smiles while tilting his head, he is being playful.A lowered head indicates a person to hide somethingLook people in the eye. People who look to the sides a lot are nervous, lying, or distracted (注意力分散的). If someone looks down at the floor a lot, he is probably shy or nervous.See if they’re mirroring you. If someone mirrors, or imitates your appearance, this is a very real sign that he is interested in you and trying to establish friendship with youPeople with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. If their hands are on their hips, they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.Watch their feet. A fast tapping, shifting of weight, or movement of the foot will most often mean that the person is impatient, excited, nervous, scared, offrightened. If the person is sitting, feet crossed at the ankles, he is generally at ease.Keep in mind that each person has their own unique body language called baseline behaviors. When observing others, be careful about it. Pay special attention to changes in body language rather than body language itself.1. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to_________.A. help us read and understand body languageB. help us hide the secret of body languageC. tell us some scientific research on body languageD. sell promote products about body language2. The underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 2 probably means______A. attractiveB. changeableC. seriousD. unemployed3. A person is probably shy if he _______A. doesn’t speakB. lays his hand on his hipsC. looks down at the floor a lotD. is sitting, crossing his feet at the anklesBAn African farmer had heard tales about other farmers who had made millions of dollars by discovering diamond mines. These tales excited the farmer so much that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and go for diamond himself.So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life trying to find some, searching unsuccessfully for the diamond that brought such high prices on the markets of the world.Finally, broken, worn out, and desperate, he threw himself into a river and drowned.Meanwhile, back at the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream one day when he saw something gleaming (闪光的) at the bottom of the stream. He picked it up, admiring it was a stone—a good size stone. He later put it on his fireplace as an interesting curiosity.Several weeks later, a visitor admired the stone, looked closely at it, heldit in his hand and nearly fainted. He asked the farmer if he knew what he’d found. When the farmer said no, the visitor told him he had found one of the largest diamonds ever discovered.4. The reason why the farmer threw himself into the river is that_________.A. he was disappointed at the tales he had heardB. it was hard for him to sell his farm.C. he found nothing and had nothing.D. he couldn’t buy high-price diamonds.5. When the man who bought the farm saw something gleaming________.A. he recognized it was a diamondB. he sold it to a visitorC. he returned it to the farmerD. he was fond of it6. The underlined phrase “nearly fainted” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. became very surprisedB. became very worriedC. became very sadD. became very happy7. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Who can find the riches.B. Where can you find the richesC. Why can’t the farmer find the richesD. When is the best time to find the richesCGetting a good education is more important today than ever before. It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.Most children in Canada attend public schools. Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income. Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes. Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French. The rest of Canadian children attend private schools,which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents. Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.By law,children must attend school from age 5 to 16. Children are usually in school between 8:30 or 9:00 a.m.,and 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday,from September to the middle of June. There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools. In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13,children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years,such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada,teenagers usually make these choices for themselves,with the advice of their teachers,guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports,games,music and clubs. Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities. Parents' nights are organized from time to time. These are chances for parents to discuss their children's progress with teachers. You may wish to bring a friend with you. After graduating from high school,many young adults continue their studies through post­secondary education. 8.According to the passage,students in Canada can get education for free in ________. A.private schools B.universities C.public schools D.community (社区) college 9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Most high school students choose their courses against their wills.B.The students do their after­class activities all the afternoon.C.Parents are allowed to take part in school activities in the morning.D.If you don't send your five­year­old child to school in Canada—you break the law in Canada.10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.There are only boys in some private schools.B.There are only boys in some public schools.C.There are both boys and girls in some private schools.D.There are both boys and girls in all public schools.11.We can tell that from the middle of June to August,the students in Canada are ________.A.on school holidays B.in school C.at work D.preparing for the final examinationDWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming (责怪) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly, Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person is not reliable and find creative ways o work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their livers; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is,” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.12. According to the passage, winners_______.A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others13. The underline word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____A. bother B admit C. improve D. appreciate14. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_______A. find a better way to solve the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help15. When problems occur, winners take them as_________A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

AHanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.1.

So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.To my surprise, this young girl did not say thanks. I was cool with it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received her food and pulled away, I pulled into the ordering spot, not mad, but hungry, and the emplo yee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food.”That food was the most satisfying nourishment (营养品) my body had ever taken!

There are at least seventy-five kinds of cetaceans. Scientists divide the various kinds into two major groups — baleen whales, which do not have teeth, and toothed whales, which have teeth.Whales have the same basic shape as fish, but they differ from fish in many ways. The most noticeable difference is the tail. Fish have vertical (垂直的) tail fins(鳍), but whales have horizontal tail fins. Fish breathe by means of gills (腮), while whales have lungs (肺) and must come to the surface to breathe. But they can hold their breath for long periods.Like other mammals, whales give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by the mother’s body. Most fish, however, lay eggs and do not feed their young. Whales are also warm-blooded —that is, their body temperature remains about the same all the time. Almost all fish are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the water.Whales have a highly developed brain and they are highly advanced life forms. They sing to their young, engage in complex family relationships, and their communication skills are fine.In December 2005, a whale, after being rescued from fishing nets, didn’t just swim back to deep water. It hung around and touched each of the divers with its mouth.“Knowing that it was free, it stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun,” said dive master James Moskito. He thought it was “one of the most fantastic moments” of his life.13. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following shows the correct relationship?A. Mammals are a type of cetacean.B. Cetaceans are not a type of mammal.C. Whales belong to the cetacean family.D. Mammals are a type of whale.14. Why didn’t the whale swim bac k to the sea after it was saved?A. It lost its way in the sea.B. It was seriously wounded.C. It was frightened by the divers.D. It wanted to thank the divers15. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. How whales catch their food.B. How whales live in the ocean.C. The differences between whales and fish.D. Whales are highly advanced life forms.第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting.To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired a nd start to worry about things.However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination(目的地) I forget all my tiredness and worries.Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences.24.The passage is mainly about ___________.A. how to have a comfortable lifeB. how to prepare for a tripC. why travel is so excitingD. why some people are tired of travelling25.Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?A. Because he doesn’t like reading on the trainB. Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.C. Because he is too busy working to read.D. Because he is so tired that he can’t read.26.People who travel to new places will ________.①learn new things ②become happier③get more experiences ④have more chances to readA. ①②③④.B. ①②④C. ②③④D. ①②③27.The author develops the passage mainly by________.A. giving explanationsB. giving examplesC. listing numberD. following the natural time orderCIs there anything more important than health?I don’t think so. You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill. If you have a headache,or a bad cough,if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat,feel your pulse,take your temperature,sound your heart and lungs. After that he will advise some treatment,or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking of doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old man came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness,memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest .He also advised him to eat a lot of meat,drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words,the doctor advised him to follow the rule:“Eat at pleasure,drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.”The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again,he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know,doctor,”he said,“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.28.The writer thinks that ________.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money29.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain30.The underlined part means“________”.A.he was feeling better than ever B.he wasn’t a healthy manC.he was feeling worse than before D.he will be well again31.From the last sentence of the passage,we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A.was a heavy smoker B.didn’t smoke so muchC.didn’t smoke D.began to learn to smokeDCan technology improve your trip? Meet Judy Williams. When she and her husband recently checked into Blu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked them to sign the dotted line on a room rate hundreds of dollars higher than their online offer.“It was not a cheap stay,” says Williams, a lawyer from Billings, Mont. But it became more of one after her husband fired up the app he’d used to book their room on his smart phone. “As soon as we showed him the cost, he honored it,” Williams says.Technology may create challenges for travelers but it can also solve them. It’s more than making sure of a hotel cost. The latest can help users select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed (已确认的) cost so they never need to re-discuss their hotel price.Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app called Commute which is aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. But if you’re headed to Los Angeles or Honolulu, where visitors can easily get stuck in hours of heavy traffic, Commute can help.Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic information 15 minutes before you leave. Testing Commute proved to be a challenge for me, because my home address is about 900 miles from my place of work. But if you have only a short distance to travel through a heavily populated area, you can use Commute to avoid traffic jams.Another source of travel-related problems is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It immediately changes a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso (浓咖啡) in Milan costsin dollars. It can also warn you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.Taken together, these apps solve some of the most common travel problems. But not all of them. Some things, no smart phone can fix, which means I get to keep my job – for now at least.32.What does the writer want to tell through the example of Judy Williams?A. The cost of Blu Hotel was higher than that of others.B. The clerk was very friendly and patient.C. The smart phones have many functions.D. Technology can make our trips better.mute is not suitable for those who_______________.A. have a long journeyB. go on the same trip every dayC. can easily get stuck in traffic jamsD. travel a short distance downtown34.What is the function of Travel Money Tracker?A. It tells people how much Espresso costs.B. It warns people when they are shopping.C. It changes the native currency to yours.D. It records all people’s purchases.35. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To encourage people to travel.B. To introduce some new apps.C. To help people with technology problems.D. To provide people with traveling information.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

山西省汾阳中学高一英语上学期第一次月考试题

2017—2018学年第一学期高一年级第一次月考英语试题本试题分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择题)两部分,满分150分,考试时间 100分钟第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分60分)第一节(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AReading body language is very exciting indeed! If you know how to read and explain body language, you can predict other people’s mood and thinking process. Read body language information below. You’ll discover body language secrets that most people will never know. Get the upper hand!Pay attention to how close someone is to you. The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. But it is worth noting that personal space is culturally fluid; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away for another.Watch their head position. An overly tilted (翘起的) head is either a potential sign of sympathy, or if a person smiles while tilting his head, he is being playful.A lowered head indicates a person to hide somethingLook people in the eye. People who look to the sides a lot are nervous, lying, or distracted (注意力分散的). If someone looks down at the floor a lot, he is probably shy or nervous.See if they’re mirroring you. If someone mirrors, or imitates your appearance, this is a very real sign that he is interested in you and trying to establish friendship with youPeople with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. If their hands are on their hips, they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.Watch their feet. A fast tapping, shifting of weight, or movement of the foot will most often mean that the person is impatient, excited, nervous, scared, offrightened. If the person is sitting, feet crossed at the ankles, he is generally at ease.Keep in mind that each person has their own unique body language called baseline behaviors. When observing others, be careful about it. Pay special attention to changes in body language rather than body language itself.1. The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to_________.A. help us read and understand body languageB. help us hide the secret of body languageC. tell us some scientific research on body languageD. sell promote products about body language2. The underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 2 probably means______A. attractiveB. changeableC. seriousD. unemployed3. A person is probably shy if he _______A. doesn’t speakB. lays his hand on his hipsC. looks down at the floor a lotD. is sitting, crossing his feet at the anklesBAn African farmer had heard tales about other farmers who had made millions of dollars by discovering diamond mines. These tales excited the farmer so much that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and go for diamond himself.So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life trying to find some, searching unsuccessfully for the diamond that brought such high prices on the markets of the world.Finally, broken, worn out, and desperate, he threw himself into a river and drowned.Meanwhile, back at the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream one day when he saw something gleaming (闪光的) at the bottom of the stream. He picked it up, admiring it was a stone—a good size stone. He later put it on his fireplace as an interesting curiosity.Several weeks later, a visitor admired the stone, looked closely at it, heldit in his hand and nearly fainted. He asked the farmer if he knew what he’d found. When the farmer said no, the visitor told him he had found one of the largest diamonds ever discovered.4. The reason why the farmer threw himself into the river is that_________.A. he was disappointed at the tales he had heardB. it was hard for him to sell his farm.C. he found nothing and had nothing.D. he couldn’t buy high-price diamonds.5. When the man who bought the farm saw something gleaming________.A. he recognized it was a diamondB. he sold it to a visitorC. he returned it to the farmerD. he was fond of it6. The underlined phrase “nearly fainted” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. became very surprisedB. became very worriedC. became very sadD. became very happy7. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Who can find the riches.B. Where can you find the richesC. Why can’t the farmer find the richesD. When is the best time to find the richesCGetting a good education is more important today than ever before. It is the best thing you can do to build a better future for your children and yourself.Most children in Canada attend public schools. Public schools are completely founded by governments through tax (税收) income. Boys and girls attend the same school and share the same courses and classes. Schooling in Canada is provided in English and in French. The rest of Canadian children attend private schools,which are supported mainly by fees (费) paid directly by parents. Some private schools enroll (招收) only boys or girls.By law,children must attend school from age 5 to 16. Children are usually in school between 8:30 or 9:00 a.m.,and 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday,from September to the middle of June. There are several different levels in the Canadian education system. The first is called Elementary Schools. In most provinces Elementary Schools include Kindergarten through Grade 7 or 8.From Grade 8 or 9 through 12 or 13,children go to Secondary School or High School. High School students must take certain courses for several years,such as English or French and mathematics. Some courses help students get a job after they graduate from school. Other courses prepare students for college or university. In Canada,teenagers usually make these choices for themselves,with the advice of their teachers,guidance counselor (指导教师) and parents.Schools usually offer extra activities at the end of the normal school day. These include sports,games,music and clubs. Most elementary and high schools encourage parents to take part in school activities. Parents' nights are organized from time to time. These are chances for parents to discuss their children's progress with teachers. You may wish to bring a friend with you. After graduating from high school,many young adults continue their studies through post­secondary education. 8.According to the passage,students in Canada can get education for free in ________. A.private schools B.universities C.public schools D.community (社区) college 9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Most high school students choose their courses against their wills.B.The students do their after­class activities all the afternoon.C.Parents are allowed to take part in school activities in the morning.D.If you don't send your five­year­old child to school in Canada—you break the law in Canada.10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.There are only boys in some private schools.B.There are only boys in some public schools.C.There are both boys and girls in some private schools.D.There are both boys and girls in all public schools.11.We can tell that from the middle of June to August,the students in Canada are ________.A.on school holidays B.in school C.at work D.preparing for the final examinationDWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming (责怪) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly, Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person is not reliable and find creative ways o work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their livers; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is,” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.12. According to the passage, winners_______.A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others13. The underline word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____A. bother B admit C. improve D. appreciate14. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_______A. find a better way to solve the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help15. When problems occur, winners take them as_________A. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

山西省汾阳二中高一英语10月月考试题

汾阳二中2018--2019学年第一学期高一月考英语试题客观卷(100分)第一部分阅读理解(两节共20小题,每小题3分,满分60分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860—1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907—1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not ex ist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930—present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important c ases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913—2005)On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.1. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social work.B .Her teaching skills.C. Her efforts to win a prize.D. Her community background.2. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in law.B. Her little work experience in court.C. The discrimination against women.D. The poor financial conditions.3. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.?A. Jane Addams.B. Rachel Carson.C. Sandra Day O’Connor.D. Rosa Parks.4. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educated.B. They are truly creative.C. They are pioneers(先锋,先驱).D. They are peace-lovers.BAlthough his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.“There are many better ones available now. It's t ime to upgrade(更新)my phone.”Li’s impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released(发布,发售), many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.As cons umers’ minds are occupied by Apple’s newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?”According to Donald Norman, an Am erican author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰)” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry.Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.“This is an old-time trick---they’re not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies--many of them producing personal electronics-- release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six m onths or a year, they’ll put out a new one.”But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted, “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin(利润) was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC maker, it was only 7 percent.Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version(版本), even when the changes are slight.As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends andclassmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.“Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”5.

It can be inferred (推断)from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result of____.A. new psychologyB. peer pressureC. life styleD. friends' expectationCWhen my brother and I were young, my mom would take us on Transportation Days.It goes like this: You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where Mom’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one moretool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?I’m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.9. Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?A. Havinga car ride.B. Taking the train twice.C. Buying more than one toy.D. Touring the historic district.10. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?A. Building confidence in herself.B. Reducing her use of private cars.C. Developing her sense of direction.D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.11. Which means of transportation(交通工具) does the writer probably disapprove of (不赞成)?A. Airplane.B. Subway.C. Tram.D. Car.DOne of the greatest contributions(投稿)to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used.This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon(外科医生)who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he becam e one of the staff’s most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always refuseto visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell(囚室)at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.12. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _______.A. came out(出版) before Minor diedB. was edited by an American volunteerC. included the English words invented by MurrayD. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary13. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary?A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C. He provided a great number of words and quotations.D. He went to England to work with Murray.14. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _______.A. they both served in the Civil WarB. they had a common interest in wordsC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor15. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and Minor.C.

AHanukkahHanukkah (光明节) is a Jewish festival. It is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. It is often called the festival of lights. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago, when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion. When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem, they found there was only enough holy oil to keep the sacred light burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candlestick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together.

There are at least seventy-five kinds of cetaceans. Scientists divide the various kinds into two major groups — baleen whales, which do not have teeth, and toothed whales, which have teeth.Whales have the same basic shape as fish, but they differ from fish in many ways. The most noticeable difference is the tail. Fish have vertical (垂直的) tail fins(鳍), but whales have horizontal tail fins. Fish breathe by means of gills (腮), while whales have lungs (肺) and must come to the surface to breathe. But they can hold their breath for long periods.Like other mammals, whales give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by the mother’s body. Most fish, however, lay eggs and do not feed their young. Whales are also warm-blooded —that is, their body temperature remains about the same all the time. Almost all fish are cold-blooded. Their body temperature changes with changes in the temperature of the water.Whales have a highly developed brain and they are highly advanced life forms. They sing to their young, engage in complex family relationships, and their communication skills are fine.In December 2005, a whale, after being rescued from fishing nets, didn’t just swim back to deep water. It hung around and touched each of the divers with its mouth.“Knowing that it was free, it stopped about a foot away from me, pushed me around a little bit and had some fun,” said dive master James Moskito. He thought it was “one of the most fantastic moments” of his life.13. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following shows the correct relationship?A. Mammals are a type of cetacean.B. Cetaceans are not a type of mammal.C. Whales belong to the cetacean family.D. Mammals are a type of whale.14. Why didn’t the whale swim bac k to the sea after it was saved?A. It lost its way in the sea.B. It was seriously wounded.C. It was frightened by the divers.D. It wanted to thank the divers15. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A. How whales catch their food.B. How whales live in the ocean.C. The differences between whales and fish.D. Whales are highly advanced life forms.第二节 (共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Anyone can become a better studentif he or she wants to.Here is how.Plan your time carefully.When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list,you should make a schedule(计划表) of your time. First arrange your time for eating,sleeping,dressing, etc. Then decide a good,regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all the problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study .Keep this place,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials. No games,radios or TV!When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you rememberwhat the teacher says.Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude about the tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be overly worried.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.

Many are playing online games too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend too much time on the Internet.In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way,a textbook on good Internet behavior has started to be used in some Shanghai middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet. It gives useful advice. For example, it's good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also make online friends. But if you are meeting a friend off line,let your parents know.Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea.

Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a land where monsters (怪物) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes the king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the bookcontains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me’,” said Davis.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s reallygood to show that Max is friends with the monsters,” said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows children that they can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”9. What happens to Max in the story of the book Where the Wild Things Are? A.He becomes the king of the world. B.He and the monsters become friends. C.He is sent to the forest by her mother. D.He has a terrible dream and feels scared.10. Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children . A.become more imaginative B.understand their own fearsC.develop good habits of life D.learn to draw nice pictures11. How do experts feel about the larger words in the book?A.Angry. B. Worried. C.Great. D.Confused.DOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body. Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends. It doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm that good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety or depression(抑郁). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:GO to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.WAKE up around the same time every morning. When you wake up late just onemorning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.DO something relaxing before going to bed.EXERCISE during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.AVOID drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.DON’T smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake. If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. Many have strong side effects.12.According to the passage, if you have sleep problems for a few nights, you could be _____.A. lonelyB. seriousC. forgetfulD. depressed13.The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should _____.A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day14.We can learn from the suggestions that _____.A. waking up late one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that nightB. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleepC. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have no sleep problemsD. exercising in the evening will help you get to sleep15.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sleep problems are serious among young people.B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.C. Your eating habits will be broken because of lack of sleep.D. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem if you try the tips.第二节:信息匹配(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
