That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighborhood.It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.（1）What does the picture on Jake's wall tell us about him?A He lived near the ocean.B He cared about the environment.C He worked as an animal rescuer.D He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.（2）Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning?A To swim with the whales.B To help rescue the whales.C To see the whalesswimming. D To watch a movie about whales.（3）The underlined word "receded" in Paragraph 3 means ______.A didn't moveB went back outC washed overD got up（4）How did Jake and his family help save the whale?A By calling the rescue service.B By asking their neighbours for help.C By giving the rescuers food and drink.D By controlling the people on the beach.（5）In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place?a. The whale disappeared under the sea.b. People turned on the lights of their cars.c. Rescuers lifted the whale into the water.d. People pushed the whale towards the sea.A e-d-b-c-a.B e-b-c-d-a.C d-b-e-a-c.D a-e-b-d-c.13.

parent's siblings（兄弟姐妹） to die，and I was simply not ready for that．The memorial service was set in Florida，and I quickly decided I needed to go．I needed to be there for my father，and I needed to go for myself．Reese is about nine years older than my father，and I started to do the math in my head．I know that doesn't make sense，but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin's shoes．Reese's memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends．The funeral was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died．As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport，I thought about how I am notsure what my parents want，not only in their memorial services，but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest．These are going to be difficult conversations，but I know I need to have them．Maybe not right now，but we do need to open the discussion at some point．It may feel too early，but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions，we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes．24．Why do emails with"FYI"make the author uneasy？A．She's too busy to read those emails．B．She dislikes her parents'nonstop talking．C．She's afraid to get bad news about her parents．D．They often bring unpleasant news．25．How did the author feel about the email from her cousin？A．Disappointed．B．Shocked．C．Confused．D．Annoyed．26．What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs？A．Not many people attended the funeral．B．A get﹣together was held at home．C．Reese's friends didn't appear．D．The author hesitated to go to Florida．27．What does the author decide to do after the funeral？A．Have a talk with her parents about death．B．Express her love for her parents bravely．C．Value her parents'wishes．D．Get everything ready for her parents．28．An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee，despite"Bee"being unrelated to the name of the insect．"Bee"refers to"a gathering"，where people join together in an activity．The National Spelling Bee，formed in 1925，was a collection of many local spelling bees，organized by Louisville．With competitions，cash prizes，and a trip to the nation's capital，it was hoped that the bee would stimulate"general interest among pupils in a dull subject"．Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year，by successfully spelling"gladiolus"．In 2014，there were two winners of the bee﹣a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history，and not since 1962．Sriam Harthwar，a 14﹣year﹣old from New York and Ansun Sujoe，a 13﹣year﹣old from Texas shared the excitement as co﹣champions after 22rounds of spelling．Each took home over $30，000in cash，scholarship and bonds．The spelling bee has been held every year except for 1943﹣1945due to World War II．Later，the Scripps Company acquired the rights to the program in 1941．The bee is held in late May or early June of each year．It is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade，reach their 15th birthday，nor won a precious National Spelling Bee．Its goal is educational； not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling，but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language．28．When did Mark win the National Spelling Bee？A．In 1925B．In 1941．C．In 1962．D．In 2014．29．What does the underlined word"stimulate"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A．influenceB．lose．C．inspire．D．show．30．We can conclude from the text that ．A．Ansun is allowed to take part in the Bee again if he likesB．the goal of the Bee is more commercial than educationalC．the Bee has already been held for ninety timesD．the first prize has been shared four times in Bee history31．What's the purpose of writing the text？A．To make people know a new kind of insect﹣spelling bee．B．To introduce a competition about spelling words．C．To discuss the ways of participating the Scripps National Spelling Bee．D．To share Mark Neuhauser's pleasure of winning the competition．32．Did you know that sixty percent of your body weight is water？However，a loss of only two percent of this water through dehydration（脱水）during exercise can significantly affect your performance．The more you sweat，the more your exercise performance declines，unless you drink enough to replace your loss of fluids．When you lose too much water，you can overheat quite easily，especially in a warm environment．But this is not the only problem you may faced with．Dehydration leads to your heart pumping much faster，which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires more effort．Despite these problems，however，many of us simply do not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set out on a run．So why is this？How do we manage to lose so much water without simply drinking more to replace it？Well，it is s easier than you think．When we are at rest，we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink．When we exercise，on the other hand，our thirst mechanism（结构）does not work as effectively，so we don't notice early enough that we are actually thirsty．In fact，we only start to feel thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight．Another problem is that，the more dehydrated we become during exercise，the more difficult it is to prevent further dehydration﹣because our stomachs become intolerant to fluids and we do not absorb water properly，just when we need it most．The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your intake properly﹣regular small amounts are better，and some should be drunk before the period of exercise begins．You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing．For instance，for one hour of exercise，such as taking part in a 10km run，you need todrink about two extra liters of water．For longer periods of exercise，sports drinks are recommended．32．We know from the text that during exercise，dehydration ．A．can be easily avoidedB．will lead to poor performanceC．can cause many health problemsD．will be controlled whenever we drink again33．Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise？A．Their thirst mechanism stops working．B．Their focus is on the exercise．C．Their thirst response is slow．D．Their stomachs are full．34．When exercising，you are advised to ．A．have regular breaksB．drink water accordinglyC．drink sports water in advanceD．have at least two liters of water35．What would be the best title for the text？A．Keep fitB．Say no to sports!C．Time to get drinking!D．Ways to avoid dehydration．36．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Travelling with teensVacationing with teens can be unpleasant since they can be a little moody sometimes．But with some careful consideration and planning you can make your family vacation fantastic and memorable．（36） Teens have strong opinions．If they don't get a vote on options aheadof time，they are likely to punish you with a bad attitude．If you respect kids'ideas，they'll feel more included and be more cooperative．Handle"Can I bring…？"requests carefully．Taking

辽宁省沈阳市2017-2018学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）1-20题略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t ev en look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth —so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"“Twenty pounds.” I said.“OK,” he said, "I’ll give you twenty pounds."“It’s got a slightly broken leg." I said.“Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."“I’ll buy it," I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said."Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."“You must be crazy." he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."“You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, "Would you repair this chair for me?""“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it." he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.21. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer_______.A．was rather impolite B．was warmly receivedC．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair22. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means_______.A．plan for dealing with things B．way of doing thingsC．idea of repairing things D．decision to sell things23. The expression "the penny dropped" means the shopkeeper_______.A．changed his mind B．accepted the offerC．saw the writer’s purpose D．decided to help the writer 24. How much did the writer pay?A．￡5. B．￡7. C．￡20. D．￡27.BFor career（职业） changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream w ithin a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy（经济）,” he says.The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services.It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.25. Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?A. To explain the importance of technology.B. To provide evidence of his recent research.C. To indicate the bright future of green careers.D. To inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.26. Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?A. Promoting services.B. Training employees.C. Consuming fossil fuels.D. Developing new resources.27. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The requirements for green employees.B. The development of the green industry.C. The economic influence of green careers.D. The job chances in the environmental industry.28. The passage is written to _______.A. discuss eco-friendly servicesB. introduce promising career chancesC. suggest ways of saving energy at workD. explain the best method of finding jobsCOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than when they were 18 years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 85 in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25, but dropped sharply after people reach their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking aboutbad experience.29.

Learn to Getting OldDMy Left Foot (1989)Imagine being a prisoner of your own body, unable to make any movements except to move your left foot. The main character in My Left Foot，based on the real story of cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) sufferer Christy Brown，can barely move his mouth to speak, but by controlling his left foot, he’s able to express hi mself as an artist and poet. For his moving performance of Brown, Daniel Lewis won his first Academy Award for best actor.Shine (1996)Do you have a talent you’re afraid to share with the world? David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be “one of the truly great pianists,” but the pressures of performing (and pleasing his father) resulted in a complete breakdown. Ten yearsin a mental institution didn’t weaken Helfgott’s musical gift: When he was rediscovered, he was playing concertos in a bar. Shine received seven Oscar nominations (提名), and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott. Life Is Beautiful (1997)Nothing’s more powerful than the love between a parent and a child. In this heartbreaking Italian film, a father (Roberto Benigni) makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son: trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game. He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war, and even in his final moments of life, keeps his son smiling and hopeful. Benigni won the best actor Oscar.Stand and Deliver (1988)Few people can inspire us more than a good teacher. Jaime Escalante (Edward James Olmos got Oscar nomination for best actor) is a great one.

James Patterson and Chris Grabenstein.解析：考查文章细节理解，根据文中所描述的第一本书Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy, “She must help the boy before the Snow Queen freezes the world.”,可知Ophelia在冰雪女王冰封整个世界之前必须要救这个男孩，所以Ophelia是拯救世界的那个女孩，故选A.答案：A2. Nature lovers may take interest in .A. Ophelia and the Marvelous BoyB. A Hundred HorsesC. How to Catch a BogleD. I Even Funnier: A Middle School Story解析：考查文意细节理解，根据文中所描述的第二本书是围绕马展幵的故事，且根据“Kids who like animals and nature will be sure to find this book exciting'可知这本书对于喜欢动物和自然的孩子们很有吸引力，故选B.答案：B3. Who goes through life challenges without losing heart?A. Ophelia.B. Nell.C. Birdie.D. Jamie.解析：考查文意细节推断，根据文中所描述的第四本书，“ After a car accident Jamie loses his family, so he moves in with his aunt, uncle and his cousin Stevie; whose basic aim is to trick Jamie. But Jamie keeps having a positive attitude and running after his goals.”可知，虽然Jamie 因车祸失去了家人，不得不与叔叔婶婶还有表哥生活在一起，也会受到表哥的嘲弄，但他依然保持积极的态度，并且继续追逐他的梦想，所以他历经生活挑战却没有心灰意冷，故选D.答案：D4. In which section of a newspaper can we probably find this passage?A. Fashion.B. Literature.C. Business.D. Local news.解析：考查文意整体把握，根据逻辑，向读者介绍四本书的不可能是在一张报纸的fashion(时尚)，business(商业)，local news (当地新闻)版块里，只能是在literature(文学)这一版块里，故选B.答案：BBIn the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community. It’s where villagers meet and greet friends.When Angelica’s post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations,” says Pat, “Why couldn’t we do the same thing with Angelica?”Pat, who is an artist，created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U.S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a cancellation stamp that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica’s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.Now it’s tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season’s greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.5. What did Pat do to save the post office?A. She invented a new cancellation.B. She hosted Christmas celebrations.C. She gave the office a better name.D. She designed a special set of stamps.解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第三段“Pat, who is an artist, created a postal cancellation design featuring an Angelica angel”,可知作为一名艺术家的Pat,创作出了一个以Angelica天使为图案的邮戳设计，故选A.答案：A6. Which of the following can best describe Pat?A. Stubborn and determined.B. Humorous and intelligent.C. Curious and friendly.D. Creative and warm-hearted.解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第二段“When Angelica’s post office was threa ten with being closed in the 1980s, a villager, Pat, came up with a plan to save it.”,可知Angelica邮局在20世纪80年代面临倒闭的威胁时，一个叫Pat的村民提出了一项计划来拯救它，所以推断出Angelica是热心（warm-hearted）的；又根据后文她发明了一个邮戳，可以推断出她是有创造力的（creative），故选D.答案：D7. What can we learn about Angelica’s post office from the passage?A. It was completely closed in the 1980s.B. Its name has been changed many times.C. Its stamp remains the same each season.D. It is also the centre of local social life.解析：考查文章细节理解，根据文中第一段“In the tiny village of Angelica, New York, the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages. There you’ll find the heart of this lovely community.”可知，在Angelica，邮局不仅仅是取邮件寄包裹的地方，也是这个可爱地区的中心，故选D.答案：DCAs her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course, Alison Thompson，a full-time mum，is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ab ility didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her successes too.“The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary (纪录片) to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.8. What does Paragraph 1 indicate?A. Cameron helps Emma with her math tasks.B. Teachers at school ignored Emma’s problems.C. Both Cameron and Emma need parental support.D. The couple often have fights because of Cameron.解析：考查文章细节推断，根据文中第一段“While help has always been for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs.”可知，尽管Emma总是能即使得到帮助，但Alison和她的丈夫也必须努力让Cameron得到他需要的支持，所以Emma 和Cameron都需要父母的支持。

parents are in their late 70s，and while they are quite healthy for their ages，I worry about what messages they are going to give me．I got such an email in September from my father．He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father，my uncle Reese，had passed away．The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life，because Reese was the first of my parent's siblings（兄弟姐妹）to die，and I was simply not ready for that．The memorial service was set in Florida，and I quickly decided I needed to go．I needed to be there for my father，and I needed to go for myself．Reese is about nine years older than my father，and I started to do the math in my head．I know that doesn't make sense，but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of timebefore I will be in my cousin's shoes．Reese's memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends．The funeral was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died．As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport，I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want，not only in their memorial services，but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest．These are going to be difficult conversations，but I know I need to have them．Maybe not right now，but we do need to open the discussion at some point．It may feel too early，but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions，we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes．24．Why do emails with"FYI"make the author uneasy？A．She's too busy to read those emails．B．She dislikes her parents'nonstop talking．C．She's afraid to get bad news about her

paragraphs？A．Not many people attended the funeral．B．A get﹣together was held at home．C．Reese's friends didn't appear．D．The author hesitated to go to Florida．27．What does the author decide to do after the funeral？A．Have a talk with her parents about death．B．Express her love for her parents bravely．C．Value her parents'wishes．D．Get everything ready for her parents．28．An insect bee stands out on the logo of the Scripps National Spelling Bee，despite"Bee"being unrelated to the name of the insect．"Bee"refers to"a gathering"，where people join together in an activity．The National Spelling Bee，formed in 1925，was a collection of many local spelling bees，organized by Louisville．With competitions，cash prizes，and a trip to the nation's capital，it was hoped that the bee would stimulate"general interest among pupils in a dull subject"．Mark Neuhauser won the national Spelling Bee held that year，by successfully spelling"gladiolus"．In 2014，there were two winners of the bee ﹣a conclusion that has only happened three other times in Bee history，and not since 1962．Sriam Harthwar，a 14﹣year﹣old from New York and Ansun Sujoe，a 13﹣year﹣old from Texas shared the excitement as co﹣champions after 22rounds of spelling．Each took home over $30，000in cash，scholarship and bonds．The spelling bee has been held every year except for 1943﹣1945due to World War II．Later，the Scripps Company acquired the rights to the program in 1941．The bee is held in late May or early June of each year．It is open to students who have not yet completed the eighth grade，reach their 15th birthday，nor won a precious National Spelling Bee．Its goal is educational；not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling，but also to help enlarge their vocabularies and widen their knowledge of the English language．28．When did Mark win the National Spelling Bee？A．In 1925B．In 1941．C．In 1962．D．In 2014．29．What does the underlined word"stimulate"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A．influenceB．lose．C．inspire．D．show．30．We can conclude from the text that．A．Ansun is allowed to take part in the Bee again if he likesB．the goal of the Bee is more commercial than educationalC．the Bee has already been held for ninety timesD．the first prize has been shared four times in Bee history31．What's the purpose of writing the text？A．To make people know a new kind of insect﹣spelling bee．B．To introduce a competition about spelling words．C．To discuss the ways of participating the Scripps National Spelling Bee．D．To share Mark Neuhauser's pleasure of winning the competition．32．Did you know that sixty percent of your body weight is water？However，a loss of only two percent of this water through dehydration（脱水）during exercise can significantly affect your performance．The more you sweat，the more your exercise performance declines，unless you drink enough to replace your loss of fluids．When you lose too much water，you can overheat quite easily，especially in a warm environment．But this is not the only problem you may faced with．Dehydration leads to your heart pumping much faster，which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires more effort．Despite these problems，however，many of us simply do not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set out on a run．So why is this？How do we manage to lose so much water without simply drinking more to replace it？Well，it is s easier than you think．When we are at rest，we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink．When we exercise，on the other hand，our thirst mechanism（结构）does not work as effectively，so we don't notice early enough that we are actually thirsty．Infact，we only start to feel thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight．Another problem is that，the more dehydrated we become during exercise，the more difficult it is to prevent further dehydration﹣because our stomachs become intolerant to fluids and we do not absorb water properly，just when we need it most．The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your intake properly﹣regular small amounts are better，and some should be drunk before the period of exercise begins．You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing．For instance，for one hour of exercise，such as taking part in a 10km run，you need to drink about two extra liters of water．For longer periods of exercise，sports drinks are recommended．32．We know from the text that during exercise，dehydration．A．can be easily avoidedB．will lead to poor performanceC．can cause many health problemsD．will be controlled whenever we drink again33．Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise？A．Their thirst mechanism stops working．B．Their focus is on the exercise．C．Their thirst response is slow．D．Their stomachs are full．34．When exercising，you are advised to．A．have regular breaksB．drink water accordinglyC．drink sports water in advanceD．have at least two liters of water35．What would be the best title for the text？A．Keep fitB．Say no to sports!C．Time to get drinking!D．Ways to avoid dehydration．36．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Travelling with teensVacationing with teens can be unpleasant since they can be a little moody sometimes．But with some careful consideration and planning you can make your family vacation fantastic and memorable．（36）Teens have strong opinions．If they don't get a vote on options ahead of time，they are likely to punish you with a bad attitude．If you respect kids'ideas，they'll feel more included and be more cooperative．Handle"Can I bring…？"requests carefully．Taking another child on your family's vacation is a huge responsibility．Only agree if you know that child well and approve of their relationship with your child．If you don't want to bring the friend，be honest，stand firm，and don't

（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）AWhat's on Your Pet's Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature's mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. "I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world."At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves."That's why I started my studies with Alex," Irene said, "Some people actually called me crazy for trying this."Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say "want grape". Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them." Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven".Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving. While animals can't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.1．Irene wanted to find out ．A．what a parrot thinks B．why a parrot can speakC．how parrots make sounds D．if parrots speak English2．Alex learnt new words by .A．singing them B．reading them C．writing them D．rehearing them 3．The article concludes that ．A．our pets understand what we sayB．dogs may speak to humans one dayC．humans are related to chimpanzeesD．mental ability can evolve in animalsBIt's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around；the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say 'THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS', but now I began to feet it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I'm destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable. 4．When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt .A．upset B．confused C．amazed D．amused5．To the writer, "the seed that we sow in the beginning" (Paragraph 1) is .A．the house in his dream B．his mother's foodC．the story of the bird D．his story books6．The above passage is mainly about .A．how the writer finally becomes an honest citizenB．where the true meaning of responsibility liesC．what we need to do when we are seeking fortuneD．why the writer takes up architecture as his careerCYou may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we've tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything —every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, "Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn't happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship —I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along...There's a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us."She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within-dependable and sure.What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it? 7．Why was Susan crying in the darkness?A．Because she was afraid of staying in the dark.B．Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.C．Because she was frightened and felt helpless.D．Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.8．What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?A．She felt very peaceful. B．She felt she was still alive.C．She felt completely hopeless. D．She wanted to change her life forever.9．How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?A．They were alternative. B．They were unnecessary.C．They were very important. D．They were among some choices.10．Which of the following should be the best title?A．What to Depend on. B．A Rope Tied to a Car.C．Please Let Go of Your Trust. D．An Experience from an Earthquake.二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)1．完形填空(共20小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

For example, one day on my way to school in a bus, I saw a middle-aged man smoking, neglecting the warning of the driver completely.As fa r as I’m concerned, it is necessary to ban smoking in public places, for smoking can ruin the health of both the smoker and the people around him. Therefore, I want to appeal to the smokers to learn and obey the new rules so that we could have a better public environment.听力原文：1.

I didn’t know what to do when I thought of this two week stay here, with a rather formal dinner, a few parties, social gatherings and a dance during the conference.Fortunately, my friend Julia has been to Northern Europe. Yes, she was a great help. She helped to solve my biggest problem. She placed an order for some warm suits and dresses, business-type clothes, of course, of dark colours. She also bought me some skirts and blouses so that I could wear the same clothes in several different ways. A couple of lively coloured dresses will give me a nice change from time to time. She also helped to choose a very warm raincoat and a pair of boots.Oh, how lucky I am to have such a helpful friend. She saved me a lot of trouble.。

The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special calling the post office Angel Station.The large increase in mail amo unt saved Angelica‟s post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.Now it‟s tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards.

While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him.” says Alison.It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron‟s ability didn‟t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers (负数). He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too but not gifted.

The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland‟s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked，they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.32. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?A. He was involved in a car crash.B.
