AIt’s not often a tomato that is described as so sweet “whenever people see it they just want to hug”-but this was no ordinary piece of fruit.The heart-shaped tomato was grown by the retired worker, Rod Matless, who said he was surprised when he noticed it in his field. Mr. Matless, 69, who had a heart attack a few years ago, was so taken aback by the fruit that he decided to sell it and donate the money to the British Heart Foundation. The 64 g tomato was bought for$16 on eBay by woman from Wales - who said she planned to give it to someone special.Mr. Matless, of Wymondham, near Norwich, said:“I spent a couple of days thinking about what to do with it and I wasn’t really sure, but this seems like a good use.I hope it will do someone somewhere a bit of good.” He added:“It’s very sweet - whenever people see it they just want to hug it.” But with the tomato’s freshness a key factor, Mr. Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad. He said:“I didn’t want to send someone something horrible. I probably could have raised a bit more money with more time but I was worried about it.”“It will certainly make a nice present for a loved one. I hope that they like it and I’m glad I got to help. It’s all been very good fun and I’ve really enjoyed growing this very special tomato.”21.We can learn from the text that the tomato grown by Rod Matless ______. A.is very big B.is very toughC.is very special D.is good for health22.The underlined part “taken aback by” in Paragraph 2 means ______. A.satisfied with B.nervous aboutC.surprised by D.frightened by23.According to the text, the main problem for Rod Matless was ______.A.how to advertise the tomatoB.how to keep the tomato freshC.how to get a good price for the tomatoD.how to find a good owner for the tomato答案与解析:答案:21—23 C C B解析:A篇(饮食)本文是记叙文。

湖北省黄冈市黄梅国际育才高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题

湖北省黄冈市黄梅国际育才高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题

湖北省黄冈市黄梅国际育才高级中学2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Summer is right around the corner and vacation is top of mind. We’ve rounded up destinations where you can have a great vacation with your kids at a great price.Fort Myers, FloridaIf you can handle the heat, head to Florida. The white-sand beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel offer plenty of free, outdoor fun. When it gets too hot, you can compare your shell findings to those found at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum, the only museum in the U.S. entirely for seashells.Mackinac Island, MichiganIn the summer, there’s no place like Mackinac Island, a National Historic Landmark free from chain hotels and cars. Instead, your family will be treated to an old-time experience filled with world-famous Mackinac Island Fudge and days spent biking around the island or cruising (航游) along the coast. Kids can head to the large pool or spend the day playing games and mini golf.Rincón, Puerto RicoThe surf town of Rincón on the western side of the island is perfect for families, with its beautiful beaches and great waves. You can book a room at the Rincón of the Seas Grand Caribbean Hotel, or save on food by reserving a villa with a kitchen.Winter Park, ColoradoIf you’re looking to escape the heat, Winter Park is a great destination in the summer. In a single day, families can enjoy hiking, ropes courses, and climbing walls. Tickets are $10 for kids at and under the age of 4 and $59 for people aged 5 and over.1.What do the four destinations have in common?A.They all have a long history.B.They are all favored by surfers.C.They are all family-friendly vacation spots.D.They all have world-famous tourist attractions.2.What can visitors do on Mackinac Island?A.Enjoy wall climbing.B.Cook your own dishes.C.Admire seashells in a museum.D.Experience an old-world lifestyle. 3.How much should a couple pay if they visit Winter Park with their 3-year-old kid?A.$177.B.$128.C.$79.D.$69.V olunteering is something that is usually not at the top of young people’s lists. But with a little bit of a push from student organizations and nonprofit organizations, volunteerism and community change can start to take a huge lead. They become not just something that will look good on a resume (简历) or college application, but a first concern and a learning experience for the young.I did a considerable amount of community work during my summer breaks. A few times I would go down to the church and help with the sorting and handing out of canned foods to the homeless. The ragged (破旧的) cloth and the look of upset printed on the faces of the people I handed food to reminded me of the hard realities of our society today, and the difficulty many people face in achieving their self-worth. I was also reminded of the fact that the statistics we hear every day about homelessness are real people-not just numbers. The largest percentage of people who are homeless is in fact, not the men on the street, but families: mothers, children of all ages, and fathers.The most important thing I’ve learned from my volunteer experiences is that people are not powerless; as a matter of fact, we have a great deal of potential (潜力). I learned how exciting it is to realize how much fun you have in your own life and how beautiful it is to share that with others and hoped that they will discover it themselves. I learned how giving human beings are, even when they don’t have much to give. These are important to help us open doors of understanding and take time to actively listen and communicate with our community members.The relationship between young people and nonprofit organizations can be the start of a great change in the community and should be a very powerful educational experience. An open-minded and promising flow of communication between organizations and community members can be the start of social and environmental change. Together, we can make the change.4.What can we learn about volunteering from the first paragraph?A.It deserves to be taken seriously.B.It is more important than grades.C.It is a must in college application.D.It runs high on young people’s lists 5.What did the author realize through his experience of working in the church?A.His necessity to improve himself.B.His willingness to do community work.C.The great suffering of many homeless people.D.The amazingly large number of the homeless.6.What does the author think is important to have community under-standing?A.Supporting each other with financial giving.B.Developing our potential to discover beauty.C.Knowing our ability to share fun with others.D.Taking time to solve neighborhood problems.7.What’s the author’s probable purpose in writing the text?A.To call on the young to volunteer.B.To share his volunteer experiences.C.To explain the benefits of volunteering.D.To introduce suitable community workAs an actor, you’ve heard it before: Your body is your instrument. It’s a cliche for a reason—it’s true. Just as a guitar player or violinist needs to often fine-tune (微调) their instrument, you need to do the same. Here, let’s break down everything you should learn about body language exercises for actors, as well as why they’re necessary in the first place to enhance your acting skills.Body language is the most emotive form of communication after verbal speech. You can learn so much about what’s going on inside based on what’s being externalized. Think about how some entertainment magazines often ask a “body language expert” to analyze a photo of a celebrity couple. However legit (合法的) that person’s expertise may be, there are many truths when it comes to body language.By that same reasoning, think about how much an audience can learn about a character based on the actor’s body language. You can pass on subconscious (潜意识的) information about your role without saying a word. These exercises will put you in touch with your body and make you more aware of what you’re expressing to the outside world. They can help you get into the physicality of your character so that you can understand them inside and out.Each performer is different and may have their preferable body language exercise. Take gait exercises as an example. How a character walks is especially telling; it’s literally how they move through the world. An individual’s way of walking can also change depending on how they’re feeling at the moment: excited, sad, scared, etc. Have a bash at different walking styles to show the person you’re playing. Besides, you can write the gestures. This one is actually a writing exercise, but it will still come in handy when we construct a performance. Write out a short scene between two characters who have an entire conversation using only their body language.8.What does the author mean by citing “Your body is your instrument.”?A.Keeping healthy needs proper exercise.B.Learning some music is necessary for actors.C.Perfecting physical expression is important for actors.D.Improving performing skills needs professional guidance.9.What can we learn about body language from the example in Paragraph 2?A.It is presented in various ways.B.It gives us lots of information.C.It hides deepest feelings.D.It is likely to be ignored.10.What is the benefit of taking body language exercises for actors?A.Getting into the character you’re playing.B.Inspiring your greater passion for acting.C.Having realization of your inner body.D.Receiving more performing chances.11.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “Have a bash at” in Paragraph 4?A.Make out.B.Adapt to.C.Try out.D.Bring up.There is no lack of excellent flying builders-such as bees-in nature. To build a nest, these insects team up to collect the needed materials and follow the specification of a complex design that ends up being many times their size. This building process takes months, even longer than their average lifespan, during which the insects must adjust as they go.Inspired by these insect building teams, Mirko Kovac, a roboticist, developed a way to improve 3D printing for the construction industry. A typical 3D printer is limited by the range of its nozzle (喷嘴), and can only make objects smaller than itself. Besides, 3D construction robotics currently focuses mostly on ground-based robots. And large-scale systems that needto be connected to a power supply are limited in places where they can be laid out.Dr Kovac’s team has removed these limitations by giving the printer nozzle wings. Dr Kovac describes a system of flying robots that is composed of two types of drones: BuilDrones and ScanDrones.First, a builder flies over its area of operation and begins to release a jet of the building material. Once the builder robot has sprayed a layer of material, the scanner robot flies over and inspects the progress. The scanner then calculates the next layer that the builder should make, while also correcting any errors that might have been discovered in what has already been built. At this point, people can also step in the process when necessary.The researchers tested the system’s capabilities by building both a large cylinder (圆柱体) (72 layers and 2 meters tall) made of a lightweight material, and a small one (28 layers, 18cm) made of a high-density mixture. The tasks were not simple. Making circles on top of other circles would not have worked, because the perfect alignment (required would have been impractical to achieve. As a result, Dr Kovac’s robots passed the test with flying colors-the cylinders were built to within 5mm of the width and height of the planned structures, which is of sufficient quality, as far as British building requirements are concerned.Because the flying robots can, in theory, operate anywhere, they could fix things in dangerous or otherwise inaccessible places.12.What is the disadvantage of conventional 3D construction robots?A.They lack flexibility.B.They’re electricity-consuming.C.They’re hard to set up and operate.D.They make nozzles subject to wear and tear.13.What are ScanDrones responsible for?A.Spreading building materials layer by layer.B.Monitoring the building process in real time.C.Warning human operators of potential errors.D.Supplying BuilDrones with building materials.14.How did the researchers find their innovation?A.Confusing.B.Immature.C.Tolerable.D.Impressive. 15.What might the author talk about in the following paragraphs?A.The essential maintenance of the system.B.Ecological challenges of lightweight materials.C.Potential applications of the new construction robots.D.The system’s long-term impact on human constructors.二、七选五A lack of motivation can be the biggest barrier to reaching your goals. When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, consider adopting the followingto see which one best helps you.Act as if you feel motivatedIf you’re struggling with motivation, try changing your behavior to trick yourself into feeling more motivated. For example, instead of lying on the couch in your pajamas all day, get dressed and spring into action. 17 .Argue the oppositeWhen you’re feeling unmotivated, you tend to come up with a long list of excuses for not taking any action. You might think, “It’ll be too hard,” or “I’ll never get it done anyway.” These thoughts can keep you stuck and block your progress. 18 . This can help you shift your mindset and remind you that achieving your goal is possible.19You might believe that being tough on yourself is the way to motivate yourself. But severe self-criticism doesn’t work. Research suggests that treating yourself with warmth and understanding is a more effective motivator, especially in times of difficulty. So rather than beat yourself up for mistakes, create a gentle inner dialogue.Follow the 10-minute rule20 . But once you’ve taken that first step, it becomes much easier to keep going. If you’re feeling hesitant about beginning a task, try using the 10-minute rule. Allow yourself to quit after just 10 minutes if you need to. When you reach the 10-minute mark, you’ll probably find that you have enough motivation to continue.A.Practice self-kindnessB.Having a sense of rules is very importantC.Getting started on a task is usually the hardest partD.You may find that it will stimulate you to make effortsE.Learning to challenge them can help you move forwardF.Keep in mind that not every strategy works for everyoneG.Instead, focus on the factors that could lead to your success三、完形填空Joseph Dituri hasn’t seen the sun for days. The biomedical engineer has been underwater,Undersea Lodge in Florida. The100-square-foot hotel is his intended home until the mission26.A.informed B.persuaded C.monitored D.satisfied 27.A.sensitive B.subjected C.familiar D.restricted 28.A.remember B.realize C.suppose D.admit 29.A.cautiously B.intentionally C.fearlessly D.groundlessly 30.A.costs B.difference C.practicality D.benefits 31.A.make for B.hold over C.refer to D.depend on 32.A.conservation B.expansion C.tourism D.transport 33.A.dampen B.express C.stimulate D.appreciate 34.A.Now that B.In case C.Provided that D.Even if 35.A.win B.burden C.shame D.lesson四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Their twins—a girl and a boy—were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he’d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.“I saw him gasp, but the doctor said it was no use,” Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn’t going to give up easily.”Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him.“I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us,” Kate told Today. “We’d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments.”Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him.“We were trying to persuade him to stay,” Kate told the Daily Mail. “We explained hisname and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached for his father’s finger.The couple’s lost boy had made it.“We’re the luckiest people in the world,” David told Today. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. “Emily burst into tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more.”4.Why was the newborn not going to make it?A.Because he had just moments to live.B.Because his heartbeat was nearly gone.C.Because he was 14 weeks premature.D.Because he weighed just over 2 pounds.5.What does Kate’s words mean in paragraph 4?A.The doctors thought it no use saving the boy.B.The doctor had no idea how to save the boy.C.Kate was prepared to resign her position.D.Kate cherished her last minutes with the boy.6.What did the first-time parents did to save the boy?A.To have eye contact.B.To touch him skin to skin.C.To tell him stories.D.To grasp his hands tightly.7.Which is the best title of the article?A.Wonders of love B.Premature twinsC.Life-giving touch D.Precious momentsIn the movie “The Wrong Trousers”, a pair of futuristic trousers lets people walk on walls and ceilings. Inspired by the movie, researchers in England created “The Right Trousers”, a set of trousers embedded(嵌入) with electrical pumps to force air into tiny tubes that expand and can help elderly or disabled people with issues like getting up or improving blood flow.Now, material scientists, computer programmers and fabric designers are working to advance robotic clothing.In June, researchers in Australia created robotic fibers, which can make fabric move automatically. Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that could be embedded into clothes and power robotic clothing. In recent years, Google partnered with brands like Levi’s and Adidas to put sensors in jackets, backpacks and shoes, letting users access their phones instantly. Researchers said they could soon unlock an era where clothing will act more like a computer, sensing how your body feels and telling your clothes how to help.At the University of New South Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabric s that can shape-shift. Thanh Nho Do, a senior lecturer at the school, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave into sheets of fabric. These tubes can make fabric take various preprogrammed shapes. But challenges still remain for Do’s team, notably around making these robotic tubes smaller so they can weave easily with other fabrics.Rebecca Kramer Bottiglio from Yale University agreed that many challenges remain before smart clothing “reaches their full potential.” It will be challenging to make these clothes, equipped with fibers and technology, strong enough to go through multiple cycles in the laundry, she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure out a way forward. “Recent breakthroughs point toward a not-so-distant future where smart clothing will be a part of our everyday life.” she said.8.What inspired the researchers to come up with “The Right Trousers”?A.A film.B.A blood issue.C.The way electrical pumps work.D.The way the elderly and disabled move.9.What did scientists at MIT do last year?A.They put sensors in clothes.B.They created movable robotic fibers.C.They made batteries for robotic clothing.D.They released smart clothing connected to cellphones.10.What does Do’s team find challenging?A.Making robotic tubes smaller.B.Keeping robotic tubes properly shaped.C.Producing stronger robotic tubes.D.Programming the shape of robotic tubes.11.What is Rebecca’s attitude toward the future of smart clothing?A.Doubtful.B.Indifferent.C.Worried.D.Hopeful.You can see it with the naked eye and pick it up with a pair of tweezers (镊子) — not bad for a bacterium. Scientists say they have discovered the world’s largest variety in the mangroves (红树林) of Guadeloupe, putting its small peers to shame.Bacteria are the planet’s oldest life forms, essential to most living organisms. But at up to 2cmin length, the “Thiomargarita magnifica” is around 5,000 times bigger than most bacteria and has a more complex structure, according to a study published in the journal Science.The discovery “shakes up a lot of knowledge” in microbiology, co-author of the study Olivier Gros said. In his laboratory, Professor Gros was amazed at a test tube holding white strands (细丝). Originally, he thought it was “anything but a bacterium” because normal bacteria are only between 1-5 micrometers long. The largest-known bacterium until now had a maximum length of around 750 micrometers. This species averages 10,000 micrometers (around 1cm), with some growing up to twice that length. Techniques revealed it was a bacterial organism, but there was no guarantee it was a single cell. Associate Professor Silvina Gonzalez-Rizzo found it belonged to the Thiomargarita family. Next a researcher in Paris suggested they were indeed dealing with just one cell — but a first attempt at peer review a few years later was abandoned.“We were told, ‘This is interesting, but we lack the information to believe you’,” Professor Gros said, adding that they needed stronger images to provide proof.Then with financial backing and access to some of the best tools in the field, Dr Jean-Marie Volland and his colleagues began building up a picture of the bacterium. It was clearly enormous by bacterial standards. Scaled up (增大) to human proportions, it would be like meeting someone as tall as Mount Qomolangma”, Dr V olland said. Specialist 3D microscope images finally made it possible to prove that the entire strand was indeed a single cell.They also helped Dr V olland make a “completely unexpected” discovery. Normally, a bacterium’s DNA floats freely in the cell. But in this giant species, it is pressed firmly in small structures, which are “normally a feature of human, animal and plant cells, complex organisms... but not bacteria,” Dr V olland said.12.What does the underlined word “peers” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.other bacteria B.other scientistsC.a pair of tweezers D.mangroves in other places13.What can we learn about Professor Gros’ initial judgment on the white strands?A.It was confirmed by Silvina Gonzalez-Rizzo.B.It represented a breakthrough in the field of microbiology.C.It was made based on his previous knowledge about bacteria.D.It gave inspiration to other scientists’ research on the strands’ structure.14.What did researchers need to provide to prove their findings?A.The process of their research.B.Data on the weight of a single cell.C.Stronger pictures of the bacterium.D.Comparison among various bacteria.15.What is another discovery about the “Thiomargarita magnifica” according to the last paragraph?A.It has the feature of complex organisms.B.Its DNA floats freely inside it.C.Its length is twice its width.D.It is a single cell.二、七选五Fear of missing out or FOMO is “a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent”. This social anxiety is characterized by “ashow the concern that he or she might miss an opportunity for social interaction, a novel experience, profitable investment or other satisfying events.Does FOMO make us happy? 17 Researchers have found that FOMO leads us to check social media more frequently, leading to a negative cycle that can be hard to break. FOMO can lead to feelings of depression, loneliness, and boredom. Your mood will be easily influenced by others and your life starts to be controlled by the outside world. What should people do to get rid of FOMO?Change your focusRather than focusing on what you lack, try noticing what you have. You can change your feeling that triggers your FOMO. “Meritocracy (精英) society” is advocated today, but in fact, everyone owns their own success. Try to reduce our screen time, focus on building your own path to success and do what you like. 18Keep a journalIt is common to post on social media to keep a record of the fun things you do. However, you may find yourself noticing a little too much about whether people are validating your experiences online. If this is the case, you may try to keep a personal journal of your best memories, either online or on paper. 19 This shift can sometimes help you to get out of the cycle of FOMO.20You may find yourself seeking a greater connection when you are feeling depressed or anxious, and this is healthy. Feelings of loneliness or exclusion are actually our brain’s way of telling us that we want to seek out greater connections with others and increase our sense of belonging. Rather than trying to connect more with people on social media, why not arrange to meet up with someone in person? Talking with families, making plans with a good friend, or creating a group outing that can help you to shake that feeling that you are missing out. It puts you in the center of the action.A.Seek out real connectionsB.The answer is definitely: NO.C.You should be confident in what you do and you’ll succeed one day.D.Live in the moment, you will find nothing is missing out in our life!E.As long as you focus on what you like, you will feel content with yourself.F.FOMO is also defined as a fear of regret, which may lead to a compulsive concern.G.Keeping a journal can help you to shift your focus from public approval to private appreciation of the things that make your life great.三、完形填空Joshua JJ Rowland, a 2-year-old boy, had been missing for 24 hours.

I don't 41 very often, because I always seem to 42 into trouble. Trouble seems to like me; it goes with me 43 a friendly dog! Last year, for example, I wanted to come home 44 a winter vacation in Miami, Florida. I had to 45 a plane to Atlanta and then take another plane home. We left Miami on a Sunday morning. The 46 there was warm and sunny. We arrived in Atlanta at 12:30 p.m., but then it 47 to snow. In the next three hours, ten inches of snow fell. 48 the plane could not leave. After twenty-four hours at the Atlanta airport, I was able to 49 my journey. I arrived home and went to 50 "You look tired," the people at work said, "You need a vacation!"This year I had to go to Washington D.C. for an important business meeting. 51 the plane journey, I wore sports clothes; they were old, but I felt 52 in them. My good clothes for the meeting were in my suitcase. That was a very 53 idea! I 54 in Washington, but my suitcase didn't. Maybe it went to London or 55 to San Francisco, I don't know, but it didn't arrive in Washington 56 me! I went to my important meeting 57 my tennis clothes. Now that is not a good way to 58 business!

It’s important to remember that some types of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might show up when yo u’re asked to answer a question in class or when you have to give a report. This kind of stress can help you to get things done. For example, you may do a better job on your report if the worry inspires(启迪;鼓励)you to prepare well before you get up and read it to the class.But bad stress can happen if the feelings keep appearing for a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having a problem at school, or if you’re going through anything else that makes you upset every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you, and it can actually make you sick.Once you recognize that you’re feeling stressed, there are several things you can do. You can try to talk about what’s bothering you with an adult you trust(信任), like a parent or teacher. Speak out what’s been on your mind and how it makes you feel. He or she may have ideas about how to solve whatever is worrying you or making you uncomfortable.( ) 61. The phrase “show up” in the first paragraph means ______ in Chinese.A.出席B. 出现C. 到场D. 显眼( ) 62. It’s ______ when you want to do better than any other student in your class.A.a good jobB.a kind of bad stressC.a bad jobD.a kind of good stress( ) 63. Which of the following can’t cause bad stress in a kid’s life?A.A kid lives in a quarreling family.B.A family member doesn’t have a good health.C.A kid is loved by his /her parents.D.A kid is never praised by his /her teachers.( ) 64. It’s a good way for a kid ______ if he /she feels stressed.A.to talk with his or her parentsB.to study hard in the classC.to keep the secret in his or her mindD.to give a report every day(B)China is going to make a new education policy (政策). Students’volunteer work will be considered when their performances are evaluated (评估). The policy is to help students develop a spirit of selflessness (无私) by doing more volunteer and social work.In the past, most Chinese schools evaluated their students through exam results. When the policy is put into practice, volunteer work will play an important part in school life. According to the policy, good volunteer work records will also help students to get scholarships (奖学金).The Ministry of Education asked schools to do something to teach students about volunteer work. These things include providing teaching information about volunteer work, setting up scholarships for volunteer services and encouraging students to take part in social activities during holidays.Because of the big differences between Chinese schools, the schools are also asked to make their own evaluation rules as soon as possible so that they can evaluate their students in the most proper way.The Beijing government believes that the new policy could greatly increase the number of volunteers in social activities.In the past years, volunteers have always played a big part in many important activities in China.It’s believed that there will be more and more volunteers in China in the future.( ) 65. According to the new policy, good volunteer work will _________.A.bring students good exam resultsB.help students to get scholarshipsC.make their own evaluation rulesD.provide teaching information( ) 66. The schools are asked to do many things well except ___________.A.ordering students to do volunteer work on weekendsB.setting up scholarships for volunteer servicesC.encouraging students to take part in social activitiesD.providing teaching information about volunteer work( ) 67. Why are schools asked to make their own evaluation rules? Because ___________.A.there are big differences among schoolsB.there are bad influences on exam resultsC.evaluation rules are much less importantD.volunteer work troubles schools very much( ) 68. What can we learn from the passage?A.The students hate volunteer work.B.V olunteer work is bad for studies.C.The policy is good for students.D.There were few volunteer students.(C)Every time you turn on the television or take a ride in a car ,you could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨). In this article, you’ll learn how acid rain is created, and how it affects us, and more importantly, what we all can do to prevent it.How is acid rain created?When people use fuels(燃料), such as coal and gasoline, poisonous gases are give off. When these gases mix with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline .When rain mixes with these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid form.This is acid rain.How does acid rain affect us?Acid rain damages(毁坏)everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds, lakes, and oceans along with all the life in them. It pollutes our soil and crops, harms trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at buildings.How can we prevent acid rain?We need to cut down on the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, televisions, and other electrical appliances if you are not using them, Walk or take a bike whenever possible. If you are traveling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.( ) 69. When power stations burn fuels,_______.A. acid rain formsB. air pollution is causedC. noise pollution is causedD. acid rain gets heavier( ) 70. According to the article, acid rain affects us _______.A. suddenlyB. slightlyC. seriouslyD. immediately( ) 71. What advice does the article give us?A. Go to school on foot or by bike if we can.B. Go to bed earlier in order to use less electricity.C. Travel by bus to prevent acid rain.D. Turn off the television on rainy days.( ) 72. What is the best title of the article?A. Preventing Acid RainB. Forming of Acid RainC. Acid rain, Heavy RainD. Acid Rain, Killer Rain(D)This year I’m buying presents for 16 children, as well as my own daughter, Mia-Grace, who will be two on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I'm bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch and having an open house on Boxing Day. And the whole thing's only going to cost me £150.I’ve been careful with money since I was a teenager ,for I came from a poor family with many children. I had to drop out of high school to earn money to support myself. I remember well that I went a bit mad back then when I got my first credit card and my parents had to abandon(放弃)me from home and cared little for me from then ,which taught me a real lesson.We're very careful now and we don't overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician and my husband Neil, 33, works in the construction business. We're concerned about our jobs because our companies are quiet at the moment.We've also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is worried. One of my friends' husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn't work, they have no money coming in.Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of £150 because that's just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil's salary for our essential bills.We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have lots of decorations, already we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we're not going to. We've already got our tree –a big man-made one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.After all, no one can escape from this financial crisis(金融危机) which is spreading throughout the globe.( ) 73. From the passage, we can infer Boxing Day most probably falls on ______.A. January 20B. May 5C. October 24D. December 26( ) 74. Which of the following is TRUE about the author according to the passage?A. She has bought Christmas presents for 16 children in total.B. She has bought a man-made Christmas tree at a low price.C. Both the author and her husband are already out of work now.D. She would like to buy a new Christmas tree for this Christmas.( ) 75. The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ______A. why the author has been very careful with moneyB. how she finished her education of high schoolC. how she earned her first money in her teensD. when she left home and got married to her husband( ) 76. we can conclude from the passage ______.A. the author often quarrels with her husband about their little earningsB. nobody but the author was worried about the rising pricesC. the author has never been worried about losing her and her husband’s jobsD. the author and those around her are suffering from the financial crisis(E)It was two months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she didn’t mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then much to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.Now we didn’t know what to do. It was too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents, parents’presents, a brother’s presents and friends’presents till midnight.So there was no time to take to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt guilty and sad.Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. "What if I make a little bike out of clay (泥土) and write a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly. She looked at me and Ron and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?" Smiling, I said, "Yes." Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the earth.( ) 77.Rose’s wish was to ___ on Christmas Day.A. get a new bikeB. make a clay bikeC. receive a doll houseD. repair her old Barbi bike( ) 78.Rose’s parents didn’t buy her a bike because she ___.A. didn’t want a bike any moreB. changed her idea to some story booksC. didn’t mention it in the last two monthsD. asked for it only on December 24( ) 79.The word "guilty" in the third paragraph means ___.A. unhappyB. worriedC. happyD. sorry( ) 80. From Rose’s words in the last paragraph, we know that she ___.A. still wanted to get a real bikeB. didn’t know the meaning of the noteC. preferred a real bike to the model oneD. was greatly moved by what her father had done。

How may I help you?M:I am writing a story about museums in the United States. So, I want to see the museum at first. After that I want to ask some questions.(Text 3)M:Uh, could I borrow a few dollars until payday? I have no money available.W:Uh, yeah, I guess, but I‟m being careful with money myself, and you still owe me $20 from last week. And mom and your friend Ron said you borrowed money from them this past week. (Text 4)W:You must be having a good time at work then, right?M:I guess so, but I‟m nervous around my boss though the staff members all like me because I always work hard.(Text 5)M:What are you doing next Saturday?W:I‟m going to go to the bookstore.M:I‟m having a party Saturday night at my house. If you have time, you should come.W:That sounds like fun. I‟d like to go.(Text 6)M:Hello? Is Nick home please?W:Oh, sorry, he can‟t come to the phone right now.M:Well, I need to talk to your dad.

Then, you must decide on the type of shelter you might need.W:A hotel sounds nice.M:Yeah, but that‟s really not a choice. The reality is that you might have to move to a shelter, possibly with hundreds or thousands of other people.W:Wow. I never thought about those either. Maybe you‟re right, so a little preparation is needed. (Text 10)Looking to improve your language skills, but you have no time to go overseas to attend school? More and more universities around the world are offering opportunities for students to obtain degrees online from the comfort of their own homes, and many of these institutions are accepted.If you decide to take language courses online, be sure to evaluate the benefits of studying online against going abroad.The advantages of studying online are that the costs are usually lower, that you can study at your own pace, and that you have access to the materials 24-hours-a-day from almost any computer in the world. However, you won‟t get the human interaction of meeting people face to face like you would if you physically attending a school overseas.On the other hand, the advantages of going overseas may include day-to-day opportunities to learn a new culture, meet new friends with whom you can use and practice the language, and chances to see different parts of the world. However, there may be a number of disadvantages for some including expense, time away from one‟s school, family, or work life, and the challenge of adapting to a new culture and way of life.In a word, it‟s important to consider a distance education program which meets your educational needs.第二部分:词汇知识运用(共两节,满分40分)第一节:单项填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)从A、B、C、D四个选项中,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。
