It happened that he was driving his garbage truck through wealthier neighborhoods and seeing books thrown away by the rich. It inspired him to start rescuing books from the trash. Eventually, he turned his book collection into a community library.In Colombia’s capital city of Bogota, libraries tend to be far away from poorer communities. The choice of buying new books is non-existent for poor families and having access to a library of books is a luxury. Gutierrez grew up poor, and his family could not afford to educate him beyond primary school. But his mother was a passionate reader and read stories to him every night. Her love for books left a deep impression on Gutierrez, who never let a lack of formal education stop him.Today, his community library, “The Strength of Words”, occupies most of his home and is piled from floor to ceiling with fiction and non-fiction titles. Everything from school textbooks to storybooks can be found in his collection of over 20,000 books! The Strength of Words library is open every weekend, and children in Gutierrez’s neighbourhood are allowed to look through the book collection. Adults are also welcome to expand their vision and develop new skills for a better life.Today, the Gutierrez family doesn’t only want to start libraries in neighbourhoods. They want to create more safe spaces for school children to spend their time reading. This is important for kids living in Bogota where many young people waste time in the streets.Gutierrez’s journey to give treasure back to his local community is an amazing example of how every one of us can improve the lives of those around us by identifying needs, investing time and finding a simple solution. We can take a leaf out of Gutierrez’s book and act the same way. 4．Where might Gutierrez find a copy of Anna Karenina?A．In the trash.B．In a community library.C．In a rich man’s house.D．In his garbage truck.5．What do we know about Gutierrez’s library?A．It aims to recycle and reuse the garbage.B．It is supported by wealthier communities.C．It is in the charge of his passionate mother.D．It makes knowledge accessible to poor kids.6．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragragh mean ?A．We should value Gutierrez’s spirit of paying back.B．We can follow Gutierrez’s example to help others.C．We should go to visit Gutierrez’s library personally.D．We can donate deserted books to Gutierrez’s library.7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．From Trash to Treasure B．The Books of GutierrezC．From Home to Community D．The Strength of Reading“The pursuit of perfection is the tenet (信条) of my. life.” Magee rushed home crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive confirmation and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was shattered,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.”Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example in recent years. Perfectionism is a universal cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, and deliberate self-harm. The constant stress of competitiveness and comparison can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.If a person is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also fuel unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as yardsticks that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to keep up with the Joneses,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up withthe Joneses, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives.Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!”8．Which of the following best explains “shattered” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Delighted.B．Frightened.C．Frustrated.D．Amused. 9．Which of the following is NOT the cause of Magee’s inferiority?A．The unhealthy comparisons.B．The A-plus confirmation.C．The perfectionism phenomenon.D．The sense of competitiveness.10．What may Magee agree with finally?A．It’s cool to be perfect.B．It’s fine to be imperfect.C．It’s important to get an A-plus.D．It’s easy to keep up with the Joneses. 11．What is the text mainly about?A．Perfectionism is killing our health.B．Perfectionism is a growing cultural phenomenon.C．Accepting one’s imperfection is becoming a trend.D．Imperfection is temporary and perfection is forever.Diseases spread in many ways. An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake. But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly. A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example. But what if those surfaces could clean themselves?Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question. Now they’ve developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact. The idea is simple. Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ-killing reaction on the handle. In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8 percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material.Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17-year-old Sum Ming (Simon) Wong. He and schoolmate Kin Pong(Michael) Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs. After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide (二氧化钛) is known to kill bacteria. It’s already used in many products, from paints to desserts. To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder.Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet (紫外线的) light, says Simon. UV light is found in sunlight. But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within. To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass. Each end fits into a bracket (托架). Inside one of the brackets is a strong light-emitting diode (LED). From it comes UV light. And here’s the interesting and praisable part: The power that makes the UV light shine comes from opening and closing the door. The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle.The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 (about 81 yuan) to build.12．Why does the author mention the ways diseases spread at the beginning?A．To explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectively.B．To demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectly.C．To remind readers of the importance of cleaning their hands.D．To help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading.13．What can we know about Michael and Simon’s door handle?A．It is too expensive for ordinary families.B．It is powered by the movement.C．It works better at night than daytime.D．It is made of a metal absorbing UV light. 14．How does the LED work during the process?A．By producing titanium dioxide to kill bacteria.B．By supplying enough power to the handle system.C．By directing the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface.D．By providing UV light to help titanium dioxide work better.15．What is the author’s attitude toward Michael and Simon’s door handle system?A．Cautious.B．Critical.C．Enthusiastic.D．Disappointed.How Peer Pressure Influences Your ChildPeer pressure can affect your child’s behavior in positive and negative ways.16Peer pressure is the influence from people who are members of the same social group. It is also the term used to describe the effect this influence has on a person to conform (从众) in order to be accepted by the group. 17 And while your child’s friends are their peers, peers can also be anyone of a similar social position, such as people who are the same age, who have the same abilities, or who share a social position.People commonly think of peer pressure in a negative light. 18 Sometimes peer pressure is used to positively influence people, such as when teens work toward common goals such as doing well in school or helping out in their community. Learning about acceptable group norms can be a positive part of learning how to live with and socialize with others.19 For example, natural leaders tend to be less likely to be influenced by negative forms of peer pressure,while followers may have a harder time resisting it.It’s important to prepare for dealing with peer pressure. One of the most important things to help your child deal with negative peer pressure is to talk to them about it.20 If your child is being negatively affected by peer pressure, let them know you are someone they can trust and offer to make a plan for getting out of a bad situation.A．Often, peers are thought of as friends.B．It can do great harm to his or her health.C．In reality, however, it’s not always a bad thing.D．Here’s what you should know about helping your child manage it.E．Different people may have different ways to deal with peer pressure.F．How a child responds to peer pressure can highlight different personalities.G．Help them develop the skills to think independently and encourage self-confidence.二、完形填空I still remember the day waiting in line to receive my high school diploma (毕业文凭).

This museum, which opened its doors in 1969, is dedicated to the rich history of steam-powered boats and their impact on the development of the region.The museum’s centerpiece is the world’s last remaining paddle steamer, the MV Balmoral, which was built in 1894. The Balmoral was an engineering marvel of its time, capable of carrying passengers and goods across the waters of Lake Windermere. The museum’s exhibits also include photographs, artifacts, and interactive displays that tell the story of the steamboat era.One of the most fascinating aspects of the museum is the opportunity for visitors to take a short steamboat ride on the lake, just as the early travelers would have done. The experience is not only educational but also offers a unique perspective of the landscape that has changed little over the years.The museum’s founder, Mr.Harold Pegg, was a local historian who had a deep passion for preserving the town’s heritage.

This digital revolution has had a profound impact on various aspects of society, including education, business, and entertainment. The internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, connecting people from all corners of the globe.The birth of the internet can be traced back to the 1960s, when the UnitedStates government initiated a project called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). The primary goal of ARPANET was to create a decentralized communication network that could withstand nuclear attacks. Over time, ARPANET evolved into the modern internet we know today.1、What was the original purpose of ARPANET?A. To provide entertainment to the public.B. To create a decentralized communication network that could withstand nuclear attacks.C. To develop advanced research projects.D. To improve the quality of education.2、According to the passage, how has the internet changed our lives?A. It has made people more isolated.B. It has reduced communication between people.C. It has had a profound impact on various aspects of society.D. It has increased unemployment.3、The passage mentions that the internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives.

The internet is only important for some people.4、What is the main idea of the passage?A. The history of the internet.B. The impact of the internet on education.C.

With just a few clicks, we can now connect with people from all over the world, access a vast array of information, and even purchase products online. This technological advancement has brought both benefits and challenges to our society.In the past, communication was limited to letters, phone calls, and face-to-face meetings. Now, with email, social media, and instant messaging, we can communicate instantly with anyone, regardless of their location. This has greatly increased efficiency and convenience in our daily lives. However, it has also led to a decline in face-to-face interactions and a decrease in written communication skills.Information accessibility has also been greatly enhanced by the Internet. Libraries, once the go-to source for research, are now just one of many options. With a simple online search, we can find articles, books, and other resources in seconds. This has made education and self-learning more accessible to a wider audience. On the other hand, it has raised concerns about the reliability and accuracy of online information.Online shopping has become increasingly popular, offering convenience and a wide variety of choices. Customers can compare prices, read reviews, and even have products delivered to their doorstep. This has changed the retail landscape and forced traditional brick-and-mortar stores to adapt. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of online shopping and the potential for fraud.1、What is the main topic of the passage?A. The advantages of the InternetB. The disadvantages of the InternetC. The impact of the Internet on communicationD. The impact of the Internet on education2、According to the passage, what is one of the challenges brought by the Internet?A. Increased efficiencyB. Decreased face-to-face interactionsC.

Libraries are still a valuable resource for research.D. Libraries have been replaced by online searches.4、What is a concern regarding online shopping mentioned in the passage?A. The convenience of online shopping.B. The environmental impact of online shopping.C. The wide variety of choices available.D. The potential for fraud in online transactions.Answers:1、C2、B3、C4、B四、阅读第二节（12.5分）Reading Section IIPassage:In the small coastal town of Porthaven, the community has long cherished its annual summer festival.

上海市高二年级第一学期期末英语考试卷(含答案)
上海市高二年级第一学期期末英语考试卷（时间90分钟，满分120分）II. Grammar and vocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). Once students recognize it, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决): stay calm.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue , encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.51. A. B. C. D.52. A. B. C. D.53. A. B. C. D.54. A. B. C. D.55. A. B. C. D.56. A. B. C.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.(A)The first step in exercising for most people is determining whether or not they should. This is particularly true with anyone over thirty-five, especially if they have been heavy smokers. Likewise, young adults who have been very inactive should proceed slowly and with caution. A physical evaluation from a physician is recommended, preferably one that includes an exercise-stress test. While a person is exercising, a stress test detects cardiovascular(心血管的) problems that might not show up when the body is at rest. This is done by monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen cons umption, and the heart’s electrical activity while exercising.Whatever exercise program is selected, it is important to start with warm-up periods. These should include stretching exercises, jumping jacks(原地跳跃运动), or active walking. The idea is to increase heart rate and circulation slowly without placing a sudden strain on the heart or the muscles that are starting to work.The next phase in developing an exercise program is to determine the amount of exercise that is enough to condition the muscles and cardiovascular system without overly straining the body. This involves taking one’s pulse and finding one’s target zone. This target zone, or safe-training pulse rate, is established by subtracting one’s age from 220 and then taking 60 percent to 80 percent of that total. If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended; 80 percent is recommended if you are already in good condition.36.What is NOT mentioned as a part of a stress test in Paragraph 1?A.Watching the heart’s el ectrical activity.B. Examining the blood pressure.C. Observing oxygen consumption.D. Increasing blood circulation37.The word “overly”(Line 2, Para.3) in the context best means ____.A)liable B)excessively C)extensive D)readily38.In order not to place much strain on the body, if you are a beginner and at the age of 45, the safe-training pulse rate suggested would be ____.A)105 B)220 C)140 D)17539.The author writes the passage mainly to recommend ____.A)that heavy smokers should quit smoking for the sake of their healthB)that we should proceed with warm-up periods after doing exercisesC)that young adults should live an inactive life instead of doing exercisesD)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition答案：36.D)Increasing blood circulation. 参考原文第一段最后一句This is done by monitoring blood pressure(B), pulse rate, oxygen consumption(C), and the heart’s electrical activity(A) while exercising.37.B)excessively, 翻译为“过量的”, 最适合.38.A)105. 首先参考原文公式(220－age) ×60%~80%, 然后对照原文If you are just starting to exercise 60 percent is recommended得出算式(220－45) ×60%=105.39.D)that we should take up physical exercises in the light of our physical condition.参考译文：对多数人来说从事锻炼的第一步是确定是否应该参加锻炼。

The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came upewith the creative idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted to belp to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormous assistance from the local community.Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family over $13,000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments.The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. She is still humbled by it all.After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree.

There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view(后视)eyes don`t fit well into the human evolution(进化),Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up.Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So, our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.Finally,there is often more than onepotential“solution”to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360-degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.（1）.Why do humans have no rear-view eyes?A.They are bad for human survival.B.They are replaced by other organs.C.They are less likely to spot the danger.D.They are abandoned by natural selection.（2）.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A.To state rearview eyes aren t a must for survival.B.To explain why animals have other functional eyes.C.To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.D.To show rear-view eyes are against the natural selection.（3）.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Sensitive hearing.B.The sound behind the head.C.The visible threat behind the head.D.Rear vision.（4）.Where does the text most likely come from?A.A travel brochure.B.A science magazine.C.A fiction.D.A book review.4.（8分）The UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions(排放) by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a “climate action summit(峰会)” to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Deter--mined Contributions(NDCs),under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise tempera--tures by 3°C. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5℃.“This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy,”said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a Statement.The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "world-leading" compared with existing plans of goverments.The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint (共同的) efforwith the rest of the European Union, bur the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs, Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domesticlly.It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.（1）.Why did the UK declare its new goal before "climate action summit".A.To show its former plans are based on facts.B.To blame other countries for their low goals.C.To call on other countries to take bigger steps.D.To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.（2）.What is the UK's new goal for reducing emissions?A.15%.B.53%.C.57%.D.68%.（3）.What's the author's attitude to the UK's new goal?A.OpposedB.Doubtful.C.Indifferent.D.Subjective（4）.What can be the best title for the text?A.A new goal will be put forward on “climate action summit came up with a common goal under the Paris Agreement's recent major policies are far from its pre-determined goal sets ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）I've always wanted to travel ever since I was young. __1___ I deeply believe travel makes me richer, not in my wallet, but in my intelligence.__2___In general, I have a very hard time trusting people, mostly because I worry they'll lie or take advantage of me.Yet travel reminds me that so many kind-hearted, brave, and in-telligent people exist in the worldWhat's more，exploring the world builds incredible self-confidenes, I'm able to acexpt and embrace my weaknesses more easily after traveling sotnewhere epic 壮丽的) and having time to reflect. __3___ Travel gives me a chance to push beyond them and even accept them for what thev are. telligent people exist in the world. what they are.Travel forces me to return to nature and promote a deeper appreciation for the earth.

So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle―they'll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. ”（1）.What can we know about the Velib scheme?A.Its bikes have no baskets.B.Its bikes are light and colorful.C.It aims to make traveling easier.D.It owns more stations than the subway.（2）.How much should you pay for using a Velib for 40 minutes?A.€1B.€ 29.C.€ 30.D.No money.（3）.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?A.The cost is rather high.B.It`s hard to find a Velib station.C.It's not suitable for a long journey.D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.（4）.What s the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.3.（10分）Researchers at Harvard Medical School have confirmed that people who suffer a heart attack when there is a marathon taking place nearby have a 15 percent higher chance of dying within the next month than if the event strikes on a non-race day.They found that, despite the group of emergency services personnel usually present along the 26.2-mile route, the traffic is often so blocked up by road closures that key minutes are lost getting patients to hospital.“When it comes to treating people in the pain of a heart attack, minutes do matter―heart muscle dies quickly during a heart attack,” said Dr Anupam Jena, who led the research.Previous studies have examined death rates among marathon runners to assess the cardiac(心脏的) risks of endurance training. This is believed to be the first research analyzing impact of such races on those living nearby.The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30 days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest(心脏停搏) near a major marathon.Death rates among patients hospitalised on the day of the race were compared with those hospitalised five weeks prior or five weeks after the race, and researchers also compared death rates among people living close to the event and those living in areas unaffected by street closures.“When cities host big marathons, or when people participate in races, they don't think that there might be a chance that a person not taking part in the race could die because of the event,” said Jena.（1）.What did the scientists find from the research?A.Marathon races do harm to the players.B.Major marathons see many athletes die.C.Most people suffer a heart attack during races.D.Marathon increases the chances of heart attack death.（2）.What can we learn about the research trom paragraph 4?A.It is hard to avoid dying during marathon races.B.Treatment is usually absent during a heart attack.C.It is a research on effect of marathons on nearby people.D.It is suggested that people should give up marathons.（3）.What may people think of the result of the research from the text?A.Astonishing.B.Regretful.mon.D.Coincidental.（4）.Where is the text most probably from?A.Local sports games.B.Science and technology.C.Health and medicine.D.Environment and energy.4.（10分）A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring(结疤). The vitamin, which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.The research from Birmingham University, has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars.Professor Janet Lord said:“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life-threatening infections(感染), death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients.”Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity(严重程度) of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England nowrecommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.（1）.What does the new study find?A.People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.B.Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury.C.Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns.D.Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.（2）.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels.B.Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months.C.Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection.D.Minor burns have no effect on patients' vitamin D levels.（3）.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The researchers.B.Vitamin D pills.C.Previous studies.D.Some kinds of vitamins.（4）.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our HealthB.Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?C.Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?D.Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns &. Prevent Scarring二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. __1___ Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades, a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government. __2___ The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these success stortes.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best.36.
