You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high.Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense(无意义）to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone.It's Your Choice!There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.31. The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________."A. the type of musicB. the length of a songC. the amount（数量）of a soundD. the color of an MP3 player32. We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_________.A. may annoy othersB. will make us tiredC. is bad for MP3 playersD. can hurt our ears33. If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _________.A. the theatre won't allow itB. we may miss part of the playC. others won't hear the play wellD. the actors will get angry34. The main idea of this passage is about _________.A. music loversB. music mannersC. music playersD. MP3 earphonesBThe Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect（建筑师）, wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow（狭窄的）; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them was new St Paul's.The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.35. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ______.A. many famous buildings were destroyedB. the birds in the sky were killed by the fireC. too many people lost their livesD. the King's bakery was burned down36. Why did the writer cite (引用)Samuel Pepys’ words?A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.D. To show that poor people suffered most.37. How was the fire put out according to the text?A. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.C. People managed to get enough water from the river.D. The king and his soldiers came to help.38. Which of the following is not the reason for the rapid spread (扩散)of the big fire?A. There was a strong wind.B. The streets were very narrow.C. Many houses were made of wood.D. There was not enough water in the city.CIt is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors(参赛者) have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hand anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of other people are doing the s ame thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest（摸车比赛）is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person will get the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean(倚靠，斜靠) on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is because of the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained player to enter. Players in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something at the end.Handathons are competitions(比赛), but there is little rivalry (敌对) between the competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement for those still standing.39 .The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is probably that _____ in the competition.A. people cover a long distanceB. people keep hands in place longC. people wave hands as long as possibleD. people do the same thing as in marathon40. What ability is likely to be most needed in handathon?A. Standing without any support.B. Paying attention to not leaning on the car.C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.D. Having strong powers of attention41. Why is handathon popular?A. Someone can win with special training.B. It does n’t need to make any preparation.C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.D. People get along well with each other in it.DTwo traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude（粗鲁的）and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement（地下室）. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replie d: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable (好客的) farmer. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a goo d night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income（收入）, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How c ould this happen?” “Why didn’t you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused（指责）. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy（贪婪的）and unwilling to share his good fortune(财产), I asked God if I could seal（封口）the wall so he c ouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”42. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?A. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.D. Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.43. In paragraph two, the pair refers to（指的是）_____________.A. the poor coupleB. the rich coupleC. the guestsD. the angels44. The younger angel was very angry because _____________.A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cowB. the angel of death took the cow awayC. the older angel treated the two families unfairlyD. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live in45. The story tries to tell the reader that _________________.A. sometimes things are not what they seemB. angels are always ready to help the poorC. angels are always ready to help the richD. the young should always learn from the old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。

第I卷50分一、基础与阅读（17分）材料一古人云“冒之以衣服，旌之以章旗，所以重其威也”，通过服饰表明贵贱在夏商时期当已形成。
我们通过《孝经》对服饰的论述片段，便能了解到古代“不僭上逼下”的着装要求。
穿错颜色，不但会受到惩罚，甚至还会招来杀身之祸。
清朝XXX 赐死年羹尧时，列举的罪状有几条就跟着装用色有关——用鹅黄色的荷包。
用黄布包裹衣服。
中国历代的服饰色彩与五行思想有着密切的关系。
从历代的服饰色彩演变中不难发现，古代服饰色彩始终以正色为尊，注重衣色之纯，五种正色白、青、黑、赤、黄源于五行金、木、水、火、土。
而历代所崇尚的颜色各异，《檀弓》有云“夏后氏尚黑，XXX尚白，XXX”，《史记·殷本纪》也记述XXX“易服色。
尚白”。
《礼记·王藻》云：“衣杂色，裳间色，非列采不入公门。
”个中的“列采”就是杂色服饰，也就是说，没有穿着杂色衣服是不能进入公门的。
作为封建社会初步的秦朝尚水德，于是黑色便成为打扮的首要颜色，“郊祀之服皆以袀玄”。
皇帝也经常是“玄衣绛裳”，即黑色上衣和深红色下衣，同样是以黑色为主调。
普通百姓单调的服色与礼制限制有关，“散民不敢服杂彩”（《春秋繁露·服制》）的描述正反映了这一现实。
《汉书·五行志》也曾记录，XXX微服私行，为了不引起人们的注意.遂穿着“白衣”。
封建社会中期当前，关于打扮颜色和等级的划定越发明确具体。
XXX虽然划定“贵贱异等，杂用五色”，但没有特别划定皇帝常服的服色。
而到了唐初，以黄袍衫等为皇帝常服，厥后逐渐用赤黄，“遂禁XXX不得以XXX为衣服杂饰”。
今后当前，黄色就成为了皇帝御用的颜色，成为皇帝王权的象征。
据《清史稿》记录：“龙袍，色用明黄。
领、袖俱石青，片金缘。

山东省泰安市泰山中学2014-2015学年高二上学期1月学情检测英语试题2015年1月第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）AArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Take a vacationC.Join his familyD.Finda house23.What does the underlined word―restored‖in the last paragraph mean?A.ShowedB. Gave backC.DeliveredD.Sent out24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Turning Trash to Treasure.B. Living in a a New Country.C. From India to Australia.D. In Search of New Friends.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot ―greener‖ toward the environment . ―We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,‖ says Bruce Anders on, president of EarthDay USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the move ment. ―The understanding has increased many ,many times,‖ says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of ―Green thinking ‖ has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .‖ Until we do that , nothing else will change! ‖ say Bruce Anderson .24. According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A. the social movementB. environmental problemsC. recycling techniquesD. the importance of Earth Day25 Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The business circleB. Government officialsC.The grass –roots levelD. University professors26 What have Americans achieved in environmental protection ?A.

They have settled their environmental problems27.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the lastparagraph ?A. PlanningB. EducationC. Green livingD. CO reductionCPassenger pigeons(旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons -- a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply andkilled them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by America ns’ need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.28. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the largest bird population in the UsB. lived mainly in the south ofAmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the biggest bird in the world29. The underlined word ― undoing‖ probably refers to the pigeons’ ____.A. escapeB. liberationC. ruinD. evolution30. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.31. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.DAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the6,000--7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations --UNESCO and National Geographic among them--have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reachesof India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project ---Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.A. promote global languagesB. set up language research organizations.C. search for language communitiesD. rescue disappearing languages33. What does ―that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer t o ?A. Telling stories about language usersB. Writing books on language teaching.C. Having full records of the languagesD. Living with the native speaker.34. What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultual studiesB. The documents available at Yale.C. His language research in Bhutan.D. His personal experience in Nepal.35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Collect, protect and reconnect.C. Record, repair and reward.D. Design, experiment and report.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。

2022-2023学年山东省泰安市高二下学期期中考试英语试题1. Among the works of art ever created by human hands, there are those masterpieces that have left their mark on the history of mankind forever. These artworks have always inspired millions of people for creative daring and new creative discoveries.Mona LisaProbably the most famous painting in the world is Leonardo da Vinci’s La Gioconda, better known as Mona Lisa.

Mona Lisa is currently kept in the Louvre, Paris.The Birth of VenusAnother of the most famous paintings is the Birth of Venus. Botticelli’s painting illustrates the myth of the birth of Aphrodite.

This masterpiece is kept in Florence in the Uffizi Gallery.The Persistence of MemoryAccording to the author himself, the picture was painted as a result of abstract associations that Dali had at the sight of processed cheese. Gala predicted quite correctly that no one, once having seen the Persistence of Memory, will forget it. This outstanding painting is located in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.Girl with a Pearl EarringIt’s an oil painting on canvas (画布) by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, one of his most well-known works.

Where will you probably find the text?A．In a novel. B．In a fairy tale.C．In a magazine. D．In a book review.2. Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon (丝带) and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting.I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a smile.The letters were written in 1974 when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their new born daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing expressions I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In ea ch letter, he attached a Canadian one–dollar bill for me and announced, “You and your mother are my life.”As children, we are sure we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various aspects.My father was proud and stubborn (固执的), and so was my mother. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful feelings read aloud by elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone.These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.1. How did the author feel wh ile Mom read Dad’s letters?A．Amused. B．Depressed. C．Surprised. D．Heartbroken.2. Why did the father travel abroad?A．To have a reunion with his wife.B．To attend his beloved, sick mother.C．To take care of the new born daughter.D．To visit the city my parents called home.3. What can we learn about the author’s father ?A．He was good at hiding his feelings.B．He was proud and sociable.C．He was a loving husband and father.D．He was stubborn and serious.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．My Father, My Hero B．Understanding Our Loved OnesC．My Parents’ Marriage D．Finding a Different Father3. Many of us were told from an early age that, “you learn from your mistakes”. But is this actually true?The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. It doesn’t feel good, so we react to failure in impulsive and emotional ways, like giving up on a task pr ematurely, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir, a professor of psychology at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want to think of ourselves as competent”, he says, so when we fail “it poses a serious threat to our self-image”.Fortunately, there is research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. One of them is to adopt a third-person perspective. Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. This strategy led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups — involving both adults and children — that were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to engage with their experience and what they have learned”.The writ er Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again, fail better”. But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to navigate (确定方向).1. What does the underlined word “impulsive” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Uncontrollable. B．Optimistic. C．Impressive. D．Ambitious.2. Why don’t we like to fail?A．Failure can be teachable.B．Failure threatens our self-image.C．Failure is an unavoidable part of life.D．Learning from our failures is very hard.3. Which of the following will the writer agree with?A．Failure can be avoided if we learn from it.B．Giving advice to others can help us fail better.C．Only those who succeed can give advice to others.D．A third-person perspective helps us out of the bad feelings of failure.4. What does the text focus on?A．Smarter ways to learn from failure.B．How to fail better when we fail again.C．Failure can let us succeed more easily.D．Why we react to failure in emotional ways.4. The Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) confirmed this week that a ban on displaying products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) in noticeable locations such as shop entrances and cashier desk areas will come into force on October 1. The Government also confirmed it is delaying a ban on multibuy deals on HFSS foods, such as “buy one, get one free”, until October next year in response to customers facing cost-of-living pressure. There has been no confirmation over plans for a crackdown (打击) on junk food advertising, which had also been delayed for a year.It emerged earlier this month that the Government was reviewing its anti-obesity (对抗肥胖) strategy. It was reported that plans to tackle junk food could be abandoned by Prime Minister Ms Truss with fears that it would increase pressure on customers already struggling with rising costs.Food and Drink Federation chief executive (执行官) Karen Betts said: “Our industry looks forward to continuing to work with Government to help tackle obesity and poor diets. Food and drink businesses know we have worked hard over many years to redevelop the recipes of our products to make them healthier while keeping their delicious flavours. This has included work to help people choose appropriate amount of food. We know how valuable good health is to everyone, and we’re committed to continuing with this and other work to help people eat well whatever their lifestyle.”Association of Con venience Stores chief executive James Lowman said, “Local shops have sunk huge sums of money in refitting their stores to obey these regulations when their businesses are already under pressure from rising energy bills and increased products costs. Retailers (零售商) have been frustrated by the Government’s rushed approaches to policy development and hesitancy about implementation dates.”Health campaigners said they hope companies will use the year’s delay “responsibly” to develop a healthier food offering.1. According to the passage, which regulation will be put into effect?A．The ban on junk food.B．The ban on junk food display.C．The ban on junk food advertising.D．The ban on multibuy deals on junk foods.2. Why did the Government hesitate to carry out the bans on junk food?A．It was concerned about the obesity problem.B．It was concerned about the food display problem.C．It was concerned about the food flavours problem.D．It was concerned about the cost-of-living pressure.3. What is the attitude of retailers towards the ban?A．Objective. B．Supportive. C．Indifferent. D．Opposed.4. What can we infer from the text?A．Food and drink businesses support anti-obesity strategy.B．The Government only cares about the economy development.C．Local shops look forward to the ban on displaying HFSS products.D．Health campaigners will take the responsibility to offer healthier diets.5. Even successful poets may be frightened the first time they sit down to write a poem. This is hardly unusual. But the good news is that once ideas begin to flow, the craft of poetry is remarkably satisfying. 1Don’t be absorbed in your first line. If you don’t feel you have exactly the right words to open your poem, don’t give up there. 2 The opening line is just one component of an overall piece of art. Don’t give it more outsized importance than it needs.Accept tools. If a rhyming dictionary will help you complete a poem, you should definitely use it. 3 Just be sure you understand the true meaning of the words you put into your poem. Some synonyms (同义词) listed in a dictionary will be different from the meaning you wish to convey.Enhance the poetic form with literary devices. 4 Develop your poetry writing skills by using metaphor, imagery, and other literary devices into your poems. This can be relatively easy in an unrhymed form like free verse, and more challenging in poetic forms that have strict rules about rhyme.5 Writing poetry is so much more fruitful when you’re involved in the work of others. Make the language of poetry second nature by reading other poets — both the classics and living, working artists.6. It was in Australia.

山东省泰安市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题
山东省泰安市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解The Chinese animation is becoming more popular in recent years. As the new decade unfolds, the Chinese animation industry looks promising and is likely to deliver more to the world. Here’s our list of Chinese animation movies that people should give a try and watch. Big Fish and BegoniaThis fantasy Chinese animated film was released in 2016. It succeeds in various elementsin its story such as the cycle of life, death, and what’s beyond; the natural order, unconditional love, the yin and yang, the actions and the results, and a beautiful tale of family, love, and friendship. Beyond these remarkable themes is a breathtaking animation with vivid visuals that made watching the whole film a magical and dramatic experience.The Legend of HeiHumanity’s greed for development and urbanization and what are the consequences of these actions are some of the main themes in this fantastic adventure film. And it even gained the praise of Japanese animators when released in Japan in 2019.This film has a vivid style of flashy animation with great fight scenes, and lovable characters to follow. Besides, it delivers an amazing and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and coexistence that will teach the viewers so many important lessons in life. Jiang Ziya: The Legend of DeificationJiang Ziya or The Legend of Deification is the second installment of the Chinese mythology series after Nezha: The Demon’s Rebirth. However, this time, the story follows Jiang Ziya, a god with great sympathy. The movie is a visual feast for the viewers, and was able to deliver a satisfying experience. Nevertheless, the story touches on several important traditions and beliefs among Chinese people.1．Which one is not suitable to describe the film The Legend of Hei?A．Adventurous.B．Meaningful.C．Heartbreaking.D．Affecting 2．What’s the text aimed at?A．Praising Chinese animation.B．Analyzing Chinese animation.C．Appreciating Chinese animation.D．Recommending Chinese animation. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A guidebook to a library.B．An introduction to modern movies.C．A course on movie making.D．An essay on the art of storytelling.Back in the 1990s, Henry Rotich who is from Kenya, did not know much about China, with his best connection to the country being a teakettle made in Shanghai that was owned by his grandmother.Nevertheless, he applied to study in China when an opportunity presented itself in 1998. Luckily, he got the chance to come to China to pursue his master’s degree in chemistry at the same year. And his main challenge at that time was learning the language. However, he could communicate with people easily by simple Chinese after a month.“During my travels around China as a student, I found people very friendly and helpful. That is how I came to learn their language fast.”“Learning language and culture depends on one’s mindset as well as the opportunity to live in an environment where the language is used daily,” Rotich said. He believes that China’s scholarship program for African students to study in China has been instrumental in helping young Africans learn Chinese and immerse (沉浸) themselves in the culture.To complete his chemistry studies, Rotich spent eight years in China. Asked about the benefits of studying in the country, Rotich, who is married to a Chinese woman, quipped (打趣) that he came back to Kenya with “three degrees” in the same period it would take others to get just two degrees. “The first degree is my wife, the second one is my master’s and finally, my PhD,” he said proudly.Rotich said different countries and people should concentrate on their cultural similarities. He has noted many similarities between the Chinese and Kenyan cultures, and this has helped him appreciate the Chinese way of life. The similarities include respect for the elderly, families gathering during special festivals, and good neighborliness.As chairman of the Kenya-China Alumni Association for Kenyan students who studied in China, Rotich praised the role played by Chinese scholarships in promoting cultural exchanges between the two countries.4．Why did Henry Rotich learn Chinese so fast at the beginning?A．He married a Chinese girl.B．He got lots of help from Chinese people.C．He was more intelligent than other students.D．He devoted all his spare time tostudying5．What can we know about Henry Rotich from the passage?A．He came to China to study Chinese.B．He bought a teakettle made in Shanghai.C．He got three degrees when studying in China.D．He has a good knowledge of Chinese culture.6．What does Rotich think of China’s scholarship program?A．It contributes to the cultural communication.B．It increases the cultural similarities.C．It promotes Kenya’s economic growth.D．It helps young Kenyans get higher degrees. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Challenges Henry Rotich met in ChinaB．Cultural cooperation between China and KenyaC．Henry Rotich’s studying in China — a wise choiceD．Henry Rotich’s working experience in China — a magic storyIn the last hundred years, the Bali mynah (巴厘岛白椋鸟) has been sought after for its white feathers and blue skin.The capture for sale along with the bird’s habitat loss led to its being listed as “threatened” in 1988. In 1994 the Bali mynah was moved to “critically endangered”. By 2001, experts estimated only about six Bali mynahs were living in the wild, with thousands in captivity (圈养) across the world.Now, conservationists are hoping to increase the mynah population by working with bird breeders and sellers to release them into the wild. Actually, in the 1980s, an organization now called Bird Life International started to work with the government to launch a breeding program for the birds.Breeders can seek government permits to breed the birds. If approved, breeders are given mynahs and can keep 90 percent of the baby birds for private sale. The remaining birds are released at the National Park, where they will be closely watched by park officials.Early mynah releases faced problems. Some birds were infected with some diseases; others were killed by natural hunters. Illegal hunting also continued — the national park’s breeding center was even robbed, with nearly 40 birds stolen.Yet conservation efforts in the last ten years have seen greater success. Tom Squires, a famous conservationist said: “Bird keepers can still keep birds and follow their hobby without causing real problems for wild populations — which is better than species going extinct in the world.”Agus Ngurah, also a well-known conservationist, praised the program. “With the community being the breeders… they are helping us to take care of the birds existing in nature,” he said.Squires noted that there is clear evidence that some released birds have produced young ones. “So that leads me to believe that the population is certainly self-sustaining to an extent,” he said. Meanwhile, 420 Bali mynahs are now found living in the National Park.According to Logan William, another conservationist, “The government should give something back to the community so they can feel the benefits from conservation, and the bird can also benefit.”8．Why is the mynah hunted by humans?A．They are pests.B．They taste good.C．They look beautiful.D．They are countless.9．What can we infer from the three conservationists’ words?A．The government contributes the least.B．Bird keepers can keep the birds freely.C．The efforts of protecting the mynah have paid off.D．The community can breed birds for profits completely.10．How many reasons may cause releasing problems?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.11．What might be the writer’s attitude to the breeding programme?A．Approving.B．Critical.C．Doubtful.D．Opposed.Think twice before you reply to a message with just an emoji (表情符号) . An emoji thatrepresents happiness to one person may express a different emotion to another.To learn more, Ruth Filik at the University of Nottingham, UK, and her colleagues employed 270 British people and 253 people from other countries aged between 18 and 84 years old, with a roughly equal split of men and women, to take part in an online survey. The researchers chose 24 emojis that represented six emotions: happy, disgusted, fearful, sad, surprised or angry, based on the suggested ones that appear when you type out these words. There were four emojis per emotion, representing the different designs used by Apple, Windows, Android and WeChat. Each participant then assigned the emojis to the emotion that they thought was the best match.Women were more likely to match the emojis to the same emotions chosen by the researchers, compared with the men. It may be that women are better at recognizing facial expressions, possibly because they make more eye contact, according to the team. The younger participants also matched up the emojis better than their older counterparts, perhaps because they use these more often. Meanwhile, the British participants matched the emojis better than the others.“For example, it has been suggested that they seldom use the happy emoji to express happiness, instead, they use it for negative meanings such as sarcasm (讽刺) ,” according to the researchers. “When you’re then sending someone a message with an emoji, you can’t just assume that they see it the same way that you do,” says Filik.Isabelle Boutet at the University of Ottawa, Canada, says that matching 24 emojis to just six emotions is quite constrictive. Nevertheless, “there are issues with assigning specific emotional labels to emojis when we don’t know how they’re interpreted by different online communities”, she says. “For example, you would have never thought to use an eggplant as an disapproval if that meaning hadn’t been developed in specific communities.”12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The research results.B．The research process.C．The research theory.D．The research conditions.13．Who may be better at matching the emojis to the same emotions?A．An old French man.B．A young Chinese man.C．A young British lady.D．An old Japanese lady.14．What does the underlined word “constrictive” mean in the last paragraph?A．Limited.B．Complicated.C．Difficult.D．Professional. 15．What is the text?A．A biography.B．A book review.C．A science fiction.D．A science report.Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies, we giggle when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. 16 Scientists have observed behaviors in animals that suggest that your pets might be secret jokesters.Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog’s version of a practical joke. Mare Bekoff, biology professor, also observed dogs playfully teasing each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. 17 And he’s also said that animals may goof around (瞎胡闹) as a way to cope with stress.In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape species interact with each other and observed 18 distinct teasing behaviors. They saw young apes move towards an adult quietly, pat them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. 18What about laughing? While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort (哼) that could sound like laughter. 19 Rats make a joyful squeak (吱吱声) similar to a giggle when they are tickled, says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.20 Are the apes in Laumer’s study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,” says Laumer. “We don’t know if it’s the same in apes or other animals, but it’s possible.”A．But is it a uniquely human experience?B．His study showed that rats intend to tease.C．Dolphins let out a squeak when they are hungry.D．Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting.E．His work concluded that dogs just want to have fun.F．But is a rat’s giggle really a sign of a sense of humour?G．So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.二、完形填空Music is said to make one smarter; exercise is believed to help one’s brain function better. Can exercising to music boost brainpower 21 ?In a cognitive (认知的) ability test, some volunteers were asked to 22 Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” while exercising. It turned out that they performed better than when they exercised without 23 .“The findings suggest exercise 24 people’s cognitive performance,” said Charles Emery, one of the leading researchers. “And listening to music can enhance 25 . Next, the both will be combined to see what will happen,” Emery 26 .Later, Emery and his colleagues launched another test, where 33 patients were asked to exercise with and without music separately after 27 cardiovascular (心血管的) surgery. After the test, the patients reported they felt better physically and 28 after exercising with or without music. 29 , their improvement on cognitive ability doubled when exercising to music. “Exercising to music seems to bring 30 changes in nervous system, which may have a direct 31 on cognitive ability,” Emery said.“The 32 of the two elements may increase cognitive ability to a degree.” Emery said. But the conclusion was not convincing. 33 , the music styles adopted in the previous tests were not colorful. To further prove their findings, Emery intended to 34 more people using different music types. He said: “Given the diversity of music styles, proving what music type works best is 35 .”21．A．doubly B．partly C．instantly D．absolutely 22．A．sing out B．listen to C．note down D．act out 23．A．movies B．music C．poems D．art 24．A．evaluates B．weakens C．improves D．confirms 25．A．standards B．function C．abilities D．brainpower 26．A．quoted B．discussed C．debated D．added27．A．finishing B．conducting C．accepting D．giving 28．A．heartily B．bodily C．mentally D．morally 29．A．However B．Thus C．Otherwise D．Instead 30．A．positive B．predictive C．various D．negative 31．A．impression B．result C．feedback D．effect 32．A．relation B．combination C．separation D．assumption 33．A．After all B．All in all C．In closing D．In contrast 34．A．test B．teach C．train D．inspire 35．A．influential B．meaningful C．impressive D．incredible三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The 3D digital model even included hundreds of sponges (海绵动物) that have gathered on the ship’s surface since it sank.Named American Heritage, the supply ship sank in Santa Monica Bay on May 4, 1995, and for decades its exact location was unknown. Researchers with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) spotted a strange shape in that area in 2008. But it wasn’t until May 2018 that MBARI scientists identified its exact location and mapped the site in detail, showing what appeared to be a shipwreck (失事船只).Even then, the identity of the shipwreck was uncertain. Yet another MBARI team revisited the location to do further exploration. They sent remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)and took photos of the damaged ship. Though it was covered with deep-sea sponges and other animals, the scientists were able to spot letters spelling out its name, confirming that the shipwreck was American Heritage.As one of the MBARI scientists who found American Heritage, chief ROV pilot Knute Brekke had worked on the ship before. And he was on duty with the diving company American Pacific Marine — the owner of American Heritage — the night the ship began taking in water and eventually sank.MBARI spokesperson Kim Fulton -Bennett said to Live Science about the discovery, “The mod el is not complete, as floating ropes and poor visibility kept the pilots from getting too close to the wreck. But the 3D reconstruction is detailed enough to show that American Heritage is now home to thousands of sponges. Shipwrecks often turn into the shelter for diverse communities of ocean life.”4．What is the main idea of the text?A．A valuable treasure was discovered.B．Special sponges were found under sea.C．3D model reconstructed a sunken ship.D．A sunken ship was gotten out of water.5．Which is the right order of the following events?①Something strange was found in the area.②ROVs were sent under sea to take photos.③A ship sank in Santa Monica Bay.④The identity of the ship was confirmed.⑤Scientists tried to locate the shipwreck.A．②③⑤④①B．③①⑤②④C．⑤③①④②D．④③①②⑤6．What can we learn about Knute Brekke?A．He was familiar with the sunken ship.B．He was in charge of a diving company.C．He was responsible for the rescue work.D．He was the first one to witness the accident.7．What’s Kim Fulton-Bennett’s attitude towards the 3D model?A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Amazed. D．Objective.I developed postpartum depression (PPD) (产后抑郁症) after giving birth to my first son. Actually I started feeling bad before I even had my son. The night I arrived home after giving birth, I had my first panic attack. I doubted I was having a slight heart attack. The next day, a public health nurse visited our home to see if everything was fine with me. She reassured me that I didn’t have a heart problem, and info rmed me that it was likely a panic attack. The nurse visit was part of a program that provided support for new moms. Sadly, it didn’t include any information on PPD．By my six-week postpartum checkup, I knew something was wrong. I was having difficulty falling asleep and I felt like I was slowly going crazy. Panic attacks were more frequent. I talked with my obstetrician (产科医师), but unfortunately, she was not trained to recognize or cure PPD．Now I didn’t know whom to turn to for help.I told my situation to my mom and my husband but they didn’t understand what I was really experiencing. They figured that being a new parent was tough for anyone, so feeling a little down after giving birth —“baby blues” — was just normal and not necessarily a sign of depression. But my cousin, also a new mom, knew me well, and she could see that something was wrong.With my cousin’s encouragement, I went to see my family doctor and I was finally diagnosed (被诊断为) with PPD．I started taking medication, and began to feel better. Eventually, I rehabilitated, feeling like my old self again.It is common for new moms to get the “baby blues” mixed up with PPD．I do think more attention should be drawn to the latter. After all, a new research finds that about 1 in 7 new mothers will be seriously troubled by PPD．8．Why did the nurse visit the author?A．To care for her baby. B．To cure her of her heart disease. C．To help check her condition. D．To offer her information on PPD．9．After talking with her obstetrician, what did the author realize?A．She was really suffering from PPD．B．Her obstetrician couldn’t really help her.C．She should have received training in PPD．D．Her obstetrician didn’t really care about her.10．What does the underlined word “rehabilitated” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．recovered. B．succeeded.C．resigned. D．returned.11．What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the text?A．To tell about her suffering “baby blues”.B．To express her ideas about giving birth.C．To call for attention to postpartum depression.D．To show the importance of family to new moms.There’s a lot we know about eggs: they are great for breakfast and you can cook them in different ways. One topic of debate, however, is why brown chicken eggs usually cost more than white ones. According to Sharman Hickman, the director of Community Outreach and Education for Hickman’s Family Farms, genetics (基因学) not nutrition determines the eggshell color and thus the egg’s price.The chicken breed (品种) and their genetics decide whether or not hens have pigment (色素) genes, which coat the egg and result in a colored shell during the egg-laying process. Although all eggs start out white in color, shell color can range from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds, Hickman adds. Breeds such as the Leghorn chicken lay white eggs, while the Orpington lays brown eggs and the Ameraucana produces blue eggs.Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen, making it a popular choice for farmers. Hens that produce colored eggshells, however, tend to be larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive.Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently, it’s impossible to knowtheir nutritional make-up from the shell color alone, according to Malina Linkas Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” she says. “But it’s important for people to kno w that the color of the eggshell has nothing to do with the egg’s nutrient content or shell thickness.”What does affect the nutrient content is the specific diet the hen is on, according to Malkani. For example, hens fed with a diet with omega-3s and vitamin D produce eggs that are higher in those specific nutrients. No matter what your preference is, don’t judge an eggby its shell color.12．Which of the following is one of the arguments about eggs?A．Which eggs are difficult to break.B．How eggs can be cooked healthily.C．Why colored eggs are more expensive.D．What the best time to eat eggs should be.13．What makes the eggshell color different?A．The hen’s breed.B．The size of the hen.C．The color of the eggs inside. D．The length of the laying process. 14．Why do farmers love the Leghorn breed more?A．They lay brown eggs. B．Their eggs are larger.C．Their eggs sell better. D．They are productive.15．What can we learn from Malkani’s words in the last paragraph?A．It takes efforts to test eggs’ nutrition.B．I t’s meaningless to study an eggs color.C．Personal preference matters a lot in choice-making.D．An egg’s nutrition is closely related to the hen’s feed.二、完形填空In 1994, The Brazilian photographer Salgado went back to his homeland in Minas Gerais, Brazil. He was 16 to see the land run by his family. The thick forest there was once a paradise ( 乐园) for him and his friends, bringing them 17 memories.To his horror, he saw a totally different 18 . Only 0.5% of the land was covered with trees. “The land was as sick as a serious patient — everything was 19 due to deforestation (砍伐森林),” Salgado said20 during a meeting on climate change in Paris.Salgado 21 that he should do something about it. Then he 22 the bold idea of replanting trees on the land, which beyond his expectations, received 23 from his wife and relatives. Soon the whole family 24 and the results are remarkable.25 , the land is changing: It is carpeted with green trees again and some of the insects, birds and animals living in the land before 26 . The land has been brought back to life. The27 family’s hard work also impressed people around them. They28 cutting down trees and began to protect the environment.“The work over the years is quite difficult but well worth the29 and I think every little bit of work 30 ,” said Salgado. Therefore, everyone should play a part in protecting the environment.16．A．sorry B．ready C．eager D．willing 17．A．wonderful B．embarrassing C．painful D．complex 18．A．direction B．atmosphere C．plan D．sight 19．A．disturbed B．destroyed C．prohibited D．abandoned 20．A．calmly B．nervously C．sadly D．lightly 21．A．admitted B．realized C．agreed D．proved 22．A．thought up B．laughed at C．turned down D．tried out 23．A．doubts B．permission C．suggestions D．support 24．A．backed off B．broke up C．took action D．got through 25．A．Suddenly B．Eventually C．Gradually D．Generally 26．A．escaped B．returned C．approached D．died 27．A．kind-hearted B．brave C．devoted D．considerate 28．A．forgot B．stopped C．delayed D．missed 29．A．comment B．promise C．offer D．effort 30．A．increases B．matches C．improves D．matters第II卷（非选择题）三、七选五For businesses to develop, every business leader needs to create a workplace that is not only productive, but enjoyable too. Here are some ways to encourage workers to work harder and also keep them happy.31．If you want to keep your workers on track, you’ll need to provide a space where they can relax from stressful work for a while. This can be in the form of a game room, or a sofa where workers can leave their desks for a short time to talk with colleagues and relax.Make them feel valued.32．Do not let them feel they are just someone who turns up,gets their work done and leaves at the end of the day. An easy way to do this is ask for their feedback (反馈) at company meetings.Give them more responsibilities. Having your workers do the same tasks day in day out is a productivity killer. So provide them with new tasks that allow them to step outside of their comfort zone.33．Reward them. Let’s face it! Everyone wants some kinds of rewards when working for a company.34．You don’t necessarily have to increase someone’s pay to encourage them —just make sure you provide enough encouragement so that you keep top talent.Be straightforward. If you let your workers stay in the dark about the goings-on of your business, they’ll feel being kept out.35．Always be straightforward with your workers and let them know about any trying times the company faces.A．Listen to their needs.B．Create a welcoming environment.C．It can be as simple as a free lunch or a gift card.D．Set an example to your workers by working hard.E．In this way they will increasingly believe in their abilities.F．So keeping open communication is very important for a good team.G．Encourage workers, making them feel they are important to you.四、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

They hadn't been to a baseball game in about five years. Last week, they went to a stadium in another town, which is in Los Angeles,to watch a big game. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time and walked tothe main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. "Are you going to buy from a scalper?" asked Ilene. "Yes. Just like lasttime. That one looks honest," Ralph replied.They walked over to a man in a red cap. Ralph's instincts(本能) were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him."Don't thank me, my friend. Thank your local police department. Put your hands behind your back, please. You're under arrest.""What?" Ralph was astonished. "What's going on?""Buying scalped tickets is illegal in Los Angeles," said the undercover police officer. "It's been illegal for 25 years. Don't worry. The police station is right outside the park. We'll haveyou back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card." Theofficer tied up Ralph."This has got to be a joke. You people have never enforced(执行) this law before." said Ralph."Well, we've got a new Mayor and he wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.Come with me, please.

Ralph had once bought tickets from a scalper before.C. Buying scalped tickets was legal in Los Angeles before.D. Ilene will also be fined $150.CWearing ties was originally the mark of Britain’s most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger group－the business group.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn’t wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform (制服) of business.Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.It was common for men across the western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform up until around 1960. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the president of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat－in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply disappeared across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”31. In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s ________.A. personalityB. social positionC. wearing styleD. favorite hobby32. Nowadays, ties are ________.A. the symbol that your work is importantB. a sign that you make a living by your handsC. a decoration to show you are seriousD. part of uniform of business33. What opinion may the writer hold?A. Blair is the best leader in the world.B. Kennedy is the best leader in the world.C. millions of people will go to work without a tie.D. people will wear hats instead of ties.34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you are a professional, you can’t wear a tie in Britain.B. The tie will become more fashionable and popular in the future.C. John F. Kennedy changed the fact that wearing hats as part of their business uniform.D. Men didn’t wear hats as part of their business uniform until around 1960.35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Wearing ties remains very popular with powerful men in the world.B. It is possible that wearing ties will not be fashionable in the future.C. Men in the western world will still wear hats and ties.D. It will be inconvenient for people to wear ties and hats at work.第二节：七选五（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。

A new study not only shows that babies deeply relax when they are carried, but goes on to explain the physical processes at work. An instinct（本能）in evolution causes crying babies to calm down, when they are held in their mother's arms.When babies are picked up and carried, their heart rate slows down and they "automatically and deeply" relax. But this doesn't happen when they are simply held, the study found. Thescientists say the study is the first to show that the baby's response to being camed is a coordinated (协调的) set of nervous regulation of hearts.The findings could help parents who have trouble tranquilizing their babies, claim the scientists. "Their baby response reduces the mother's burden of carrying, and is important to both the mother and the baby," Dr Kumi Kuroda, from the Riken Brain Science Institute in Japan. The researchers believe the calming response is a survival traii(特征) preserved by evolution in many mammals, including lions and squirrels.The research involved measuring electrical brain activity in both human babies and mouse babies. When baby mice are carried by their mothers, their legs flexed (弯曲的) and they stopped giving off loud sound. In mice, the calming response was depended on the sense of touch and the ability to feel body movement.The findings may have importance for parerting, say the scientists. "Such proper understanding of babies would reduce parents' feeling of failure and be important, because crying is a major risk for child abuse," said Dr Kuroda. "Although our study was done on mothers, we believe that this is not specific to mums and can be used by any primary caregiver."24. What response do crying babies have when they are picked up?A. They stop crying and fall asleep quickly.B. They smile at the mothers at once.C. They relax with the heart rate slowing down.D. They ask for more body contact,25. What does the underlined word "tranquilizing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. raising.B. calming.C. carrying.D. teaching.26. Who will be interested in the text?A. Primary school teachers.B. Parents with teenagers.C. People who take care of babies.D. Couples who want to have children.27. What does the text mainly talk about?A. How we can take good care of babies.B. Mothers have trouble in bringing up children.C. What to do when your baby cries.D. Why babies calm down when picked up and carried.CAmy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daughter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. "Lying in bed beside Isabella, I could hear the cries of children in pain," says Amy. "It completely broke my heart. "When Isabella was getting well and could Ieave her room, she wore her prized possession - a "superhero cape (短斗篷)"Amy had sewn to encourage her —and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise around the nursing station. "Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, "Amy says. "These were some of the same children I had heard crying the night before, and here they were playing and having fun - kids just being kids! "From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. "I felt God presenting an opportunity," she says. "I hoped Comfort Capes can help these kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away," Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 capes in the United States. Amy usually pays for materials herself, although sheaccepts donations.The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from those her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she learns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with. "I choose the pattern, color and theme specially for each child," explains Amy.When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childhood cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to more kids who need them, "If a cape can help a child, even only fora moment, forget his illness, it's worth the time spent sewing," she says.28. What made Amy feel sad when she was staying with her daughter in the hospital?A. Her daughter's serious illness.B. The cries of children in pain.C. The tiredness from sewing the cape.D. The illness of children in her daughter's room.29. Why did Amy begin to make Comfort Capes for sick children?A. She wished- to make them happy and fearless.B. She hoped to find friends for her daughter.C. She wanted to make them feel warm.D. She meant to raise the awareness of children's illness.30. According to the passage, what's the author's attitude toward Amy's behaviour?A. Supportive.B. Neutral(中立的).C. Negative. D, Indifferent.31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Amy: a Considerate Woman.B. How to Treat the Sick Children.C. A strong Mom Who Helps Others.D. Turning Sick Kids into Superheroes.DScientists at Harvard University have recycled a kidney(‘肾)-in a rat. The researchers removed a kidney froru a dead rat. Later, the renewed kidney was put into a living rat. It wasn't perfect. It did, however, show signs of working like a kidney should."It's really beautiful work," Edward Ross, a kidney researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville, told Science News. He didn't work on the new study.Kidneys are bean-shaped and act like guards in the body. They clean the blood by reruoving waste and extra water. Every day, an adult's kidneys filter(过滤) enough blood to fill a bathtub half full. Along the way, they produce eight cups of urine(屎) from that waste and water. When a person's kidneys fail, all of that waste stays in the body. Such patients can quickly become very sick and die, unless they are regularly connected to a machine that filters their blood.At any given time, about 100,000 people in the United States are waiting for a replacement kidney. But healthy donated kidneys are difficult to get. Either a living person must donate one, or a kidney must be removed from someone who just died and earlier had agreed to the donation. In either case, people receiving new kidneys face the risk that their bodies will reject the donated ones.But there may be another option. Researchers use knowledge of living things to grow or improve tissue that can aid human health. Harald Ott's team at Harvard started with a "used" kidney.Scientists added kidney cells from rats and blood vessel cells from people to the matrix（母体）.
