Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average night of the population has been increasing ye the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.] “The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″(6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy , “seven-foot beds would work fine.”Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standa rd after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.13. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.14. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A . 7′2″. B. 7′ C. 6′6″ D. 6′3″15. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.ETo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royality or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sun shade. And the umbrella wasin common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, later on in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much light in weight. It wasn’t until the 20th century that women’s umbrella began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.16. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ____ .A. ancient ChinaB. ancient GreeceC. ancient EgyptD. ancient Rome17. Which of the followings is NOT true about the umbrella?A. No one knows exactly who was the inventor of the umbrella.B. The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.C. The umbrella changed much in style in the 18th century.D. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.18. A strange feature（特点）of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as ____ .A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of h onour and powerD. women’s decoration（装饰）19. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain ____ .A. during the Middle AgesB. By the 18th centuryC. in RomeD. In Greece20. This passage talks mainly about ____ .A. when and how the umbrella was inventedB. why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC. the development of the umbrellaD. the history and use of the umbrella二. 完型填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16－35各题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Shall二、完形填空（共20分，每题1分）When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta fromthe Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born．I loved this bird; I would 26 him for hours．He would 27 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 28 and float there beautifully．Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 29 into the grasses．We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 30 “pink-colored feet”; meksikatsi and I became very good friends．The bird had a very particular significance to me 31 I desperately wanted to be able to fly too．I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where 32 was impossible．And most of the things that I 33 about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people．When I was ten years old, something unexpected 34 my life suddenly. I found myself become an 35 child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a 36 position that many native Americans find themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but 37 two cultures．A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what 38 people have called that bird for thousands of years．Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”．I was very 39 with English．I could not understand it．First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a 40 , it did not sound like “duck”, I was even more 41 when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird．As I 42 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 43 , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning．I 44 that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different 45 , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world．26．A．keep B．watch C．follow D．search27．A．jump B．dive C．circle D．wander28．A．nest B．hill C．water D．road29．A．quickly B．naturally C．freely D．quietly30．A．means B．reads C．shows D．states31．A．though B．because C．while D．until32．A．communication B．imagination C．belief D．flight33．A．dreamed B．worried C．knew D．argued34．A．improved B．enriched C．changed D．ruined35．A．educated B．adopted C．outgoing D．independent36．A．weak B．comfortable C．terrible D．central37．A．between B．against C．without D．beyond38．A．most B．few C．their D．my39．A．desperate B．bored C．uncomfortable D．disappointed40．A．noise B．call C．decision D．choice41．A．ashamed B．confused C．embarrassed D．frightened42．A．tried B．came C．determined D．expected43．A．evidence B．distinction C．profit D．sense44．A．identified B．confirmed C．realized D．predicted45．A．concepts B．regulations C．messages D．evaluations三、阅读明白得（共30分，每题2分）AFrench surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant--- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.Specialists from two French hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on Sunday in the northern city of Amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman, who had hanged herself just hours before the operation. Her family agreed on the operation.“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the h ospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May, and was unable to talk or chew properly. Such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face. The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants,Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity to foreign tissue.Teams in France, the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a realityThere was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral（道德的）and ethical(伦理的)issues. Little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.46. The best title for the passage would be ________.A. First Face Transplant Opens DebateB. French Woman has First Partial FaceTransplantC. A Complete Face Transplant of a French WomanD. Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant47. Which of the following is NOT one of the risks of the operation?A. Heart damage.B. Organ rejectionC. Block of blood vessels.D. Side effect of the drugs48. What can we learn about the operation?A. There has arisen a debate about the operation.B. The woman had used the dead woman' s whole face.C. The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.D. Such transplants have been performed by doctors.BThe largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2021mand 2021 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 mill ion birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of Ne w Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding isla nds of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Isl and and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in 2021 and 2021 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”49. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ?A. They were introduced there by sailors accidentally.B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were attracted there by wildlife.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.50. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.51. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _________.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.D. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.52. What can we infer from the passage?.A. Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife.B. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achieve ments.D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island.CAustralia has promised to introduce the most comprehensive （全面的） carbon trading program outside Europe in 2020. The government in Canberra plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least five percent by 2020, but it could make bigger reductions if other countries agree to tougher targets.The Australian government warns that without tough environmental measures the country could lose key industries and jobs. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong says the economy is under threat and decisive action is needed.Central to the government’s climate change plan is a carbon emissions trading program that will be introduced within two years. It would inv olve one thousand of the nation’s biggest companies and would cover about three-quarters of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.Many scientists believe that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to global warming. Many of them are released by burning fuels such as coal and oil. Companies will be required to buy permits for each ton of carbon they emit, although big pollutingexporters will receive up to 90 percent of their carbon licenses free.Many business leaders want the government to delay the plan because of the current global financial crisis, which is slowing the Australian economy. Peter Anderson from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says it is irresponsible to bring in a carbon trading plan now. Environmentalists, on the other hand, say Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has not properly addressed the threat of climate change. Activists had sought a minimum emissions cut of 25 percent. Instead, the Rudd government aims to cuts carbon emissions by at least five percent of 2000 levels by 2020. That amount could rise to 15 percent, if future global agreements set such a target. Ray Nias of the environmental group WWF says Australia will pay the price for low targets. “This is a deeply, deeply disappointing target,” Nias said. “It commits Australia to long-term climate change. It will make Australia’s ability to negotiate (协商) global agreements very, very difficult. It is much lower than even we had imagined.”Australia has one of the highest per-person greenhouse emissions rates in the world because of its reliance on coal for electricity.Some scientists warn that the vast, dry Australian continent, which has been suffering a series of droughts in recent years, could be one of the region’s hardest hit by global warming.53. Which group supports to cut carbon emissions by at least 25%?A. EnvironmentalistsB. The governmentC. Business leadersD. Scientists54. Who most probably agrees to a higher goal of carbon emissions?A. Penny WongB. Peter AndersonC. Kevin RuddD. Ray Nias55. Many business leaders are against the Australian program because________.A. they believe the program will only benefit the big companiesB. they believe the program will cause the global warmingC. they don’t want to pay extra money for carbon emissionsD. they don’t think carbon emission will surely cause the global warming56. The underlined sentence means_________.A. The Australian government will be blamed for the low targetB. Australia will suffer a lot from climate change caused by carbon emissionsC. The Australian government will have to spend lots of money on carbon emissionsD. Many Australian companies will close down because of the low targetDThere was good news last week for people who struggle to get eight hours of sleep a night: they may not need so much shut-eye after all.Researchers from UCLA and elsewhere looked at sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia — groups with pre-industrial lifestyles whose sleep patterns are believedto reflect those of ancient humans. The researchers found that, on average, members of each group sleep a bit less than six and a half hours a night.The study, published in the academic journal Current Biology, indicates that “natural” sleep is less than eight hours a night and that modern society’s numerous electronic distractions (分心) aren’t necessarily to blame for p eople getting just six or seven hours of sleep.“The story that often gets out is that if you sleep for less than seven hours, you’re going to die early,” he told me. “That’s not true.”Yet Americans are addicted to getting more sleep — and on turning to medical shortcuts to help them.According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 70 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorders or sleeplessness. Only a third of Americans get the government’s recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night.Ab out 9 million American adults use sleeping pills to help get a good night’s rest, the CDC found. Siegel said the number of people relying on medicines “has gone up rather rapidly since then.”Industry consulting firm GlobalData estimates that worldwide sales for sleeplessness medicines will run about $ billion next year and reach $ billion by 2023, recovering from lower sales in recent years because of cheaper generics(仿造药) hitting the market.Dr. Roy Artal, a sleep specialist in West Los Angeles, said it’s understandable that busy people in today’s go-go world would turn to medicines to speed up the sleep process. But all they’re doing is building a reliance on powerful drugs for relatively little improvement.“There’s no magic pill that makes us sleep when we want and wake up when we want,” Artal said. “The effects of sleeping pills tend to be modest.”He and other experts say the answer to sleeplessness isn’t to be found in a pill bottle. It’s in what’s called “sleep hygiene (保健).”57. The research on sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia shows that ________.A. They have a lack of sleep because of their bad lifestyleB. “natural” sleep may be less than eight hours a nightC. Modern electronic products cause the sleeplessnessD. Pre-industrial lifestyles will be helpful to a better sleep58. Jerome Siegel believes that ________.A. We need to take sleeping pills to improve sleepB. Modern electronic products do harm to a good sleepC. Those who sleep for less than 7 hours will die earlyD. There is nothing wrong with a 6 or 7 hours’ sleep59. The underlined word “modest” probably means ________.A. obviousB. awfulC. smallD. large60. The main idea of this passage is that_________.A. People may not need eight hours of sleep a night.B. people need sleeping pills to have a good sleepC. sleeping pills have a long way to go for sleep improvementD. Sleeping pill industry will suffer great losses from the new discovery四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题1分）What is ecofashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashion —‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’．Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides；sheepfarming and woolcleaning contribute to global warming；syntheticsmaking (人造纤维生产) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly，every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy，and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this，there is a lot of waste produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly，growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.Then，how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree，it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.There is some concern that eco friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually growtired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosi ng ecofashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.五、翻译句子（共10分，每题2分）71. 他们以为那是违抗科学精神的。

A dog might be clever enough to get back what the owner throw away when he is happy． But he might also spend a whole hour running after his own tail． How can you measure an animal's brain power?The hardest part is that we should think of the right test． The test has to be somethingthe dog can learn to do: select by pushing it with a nose, for example． The test also has to be something the dog wants to do: a dog might look at that box for a long time until he finds out there's food hidden under it．Researchers use food to give dogs IQ tests． The dog is given a plate with a blue box onit; under the box is some food． The animal moves the box and gets the food． Now the test gets tricky． The dog is given the same plate, but this time it has a blue box and a yellow coffee can lid（盖子）on it; the food is under the yellow lid． The test: how long does ittake the dog to learn that the food is always under the new object on the plate? The smarter the dog, the quicker he'll find the food．That seems simple enough, but things become more complicated（复杂的）when you try to compare different kinds of animals．________ on this test． Dogs may have to try hundreds of times before they select the yellow lid． Monkeys learn much more quickly to find the hidden food． Does that mean monkeys are smarter than dog?Not necessarily． The test was originally designed for monkeys, and it gives them an unfair advantage: by nature monkeys are curious and like to check out new things． Dogsare likely to be careful about coming near to new things．Even if you could find a test that was perfectly fair to all animals, it's silly to ask whether one kind of animal is smarter than another． All animals have the ability to learn things that are important to them． Otherwise they wouldn't survive． A chicken can figure out whereto get food or how to run from a predator（食肉动物）． So a chicken is as smart as it needsto be．（1）What is needed to test how clever a animal is？________A The test must include a box﹣like object．B The test must compare two different animals．C The test must be given when the animal is in training．D The testmust be something that can be taught to an animal．．（2）What does the underlined part "Monkeys wipe the floor with dogs" in Paragraph 4 mean？________A Monkeys are cleaner than dogs．B Monkeys perform better thandogs． C Monkeys have learnt to clean floors． D Monkeys like to compete with dogs．．（3）According to Paragraph 5， how are monkeys and dogs different？________A Monkeys learn quickly but dogs learn slowly．B Monkeys like taking tests but dogs dislike them．C Monkeys explore new things but dogs are careful aboutthem． D Monkeys do not like working with humans．．（4）According to the text， which of the following statements is TRUE？________A The smartest animals make the best pet．B Most animals are as smart as they need to be．C Animals can do what humans want them to do．D Bigger animal are smarter than smaller animals．2. Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer, motivational speaker． Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo（单人滑雪） to the North Pole． He dragged a 180﹣kilogramme sledge over 1, 420 miles through the worst Arctic（北极） conditions． This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge．People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole． I said, "No, I can get there, " and I did． Self﹣belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle（肌肉）﹣ it's my belief that the more you stretch（伸展） yourself the stronger it gets． If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self﹣belief gets weaker． So that's one of the lessons that I've found out along the way． The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self﹣belief． "My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me． If I knew I could do it without too much trouble, I wouldn't be interested． Why? Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it． Not that long ago, running a marathon （马拉松）was seen as the top point of human attempt, and now I wouldn′t be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year．"People's horizons （见识） are changing． "I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average． I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it． That's it． And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet．"（1）According to Ben Saunders， if you want to stretch your self﹣belief， you should．________A often test your confidenceB try something adventurousC aim to reach the North PoleD always stretch your muscles．（2）Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because________．A he liked running a marathonB he wanted to exercise his bodyC he knew it might be achievableD he was sure he could do it easily．（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？________A We have to change our views about adventure．B We can never know our possibilities and energies．C We should have a reason for going on an adventure．D We have to be especially talented to have an adventure．3. Competitors from around the would met in Pomona, California, this month to test their skills at things like driving a car, walking down stairs, and opening doors． Sounds easy, right? But the competitors weren't people﹣they were robots（机器人）!The robots ere participating in the final round of the US's DARPA（Defense AdvancedResearch Projects Agency）Robotics Challengs． This event, which took place on June 5﹣6, tested robots on how well they could respond during a disaster and the winning team finally took home a ﹩2 million big prize．The DARPA challenge was created after the 2011 Fukushima（福岛）nuclear disaster in Japan． An earthquake caused a tsunami, which damaged a nuclear power plant（核电站）． Workers at the needed to turn off an important valve（阀门）, but it was too dangerous for humans to reach it． The US scientists at DARPA wondered whether the disaster could have been avoided if a robot had been sent to do ________． So they set robotics competition．Turning a valve was just one task a robot might have to perform when entering a disaster zone． In addition to doing this, robots participating in the challenge had to learn a course containing several other tasks: driving and exiting a vehicle（车辆）, opening adoor, walking over or clearing objects, cutting a hole in wall, and climbing part of stairs． Teams had to complete the challenges in one hour, and points were awarded based on how quickly the robots completed a task． They didn't have to attempt all the tasks． To make things even more realistic, challenge organizers caused short computer﹣system blackouts（断电）that prevented robots and the human operators who control from communicating． That means teams had to program their robots to be partially autonomous （独立的）． Robots also couldn't depend on any other objects that could keep them from falling down, which happened a lot．（1）What do we know about this year's DARPA challenge？________A It lasted five days．B It was help in Japan．C Its winner got a cashprize． D Its winner will work in Fukushima．．（2）What does the underlined part "the job" in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A To open a door．B To close a valve．C To predict a tsunami．D To rebuild a nuclear power plant．．（3）The robots that take part in the US's DARPA challenge were required to________．A challenge all the tasks．B have a good sense of smell．C complete their task in an hourD act in the dark in the whole proves．．（4）What is the test mainly about？________A A robotics competition．B A research program．C A nucleardisaster． D A scientific organization．4. For years people had told our founders, motivational speakers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, inspiring stories about themselves． Jack and Mark included these stories in their talks． And their audiences repeatedly asked if these stories had ever been ever been published． Eventually, Jack and Mark decide to collect the best 101 stories they'd been told and put them in a book． They called it Chicken Soup for the Soul because they wanted it to provide comfort, just like their grandmothers' cookingThey took the book to New York, hoping to sell it to one of the big publishers, but every publisher turned them down． The project appeared to have ________ until they met PeterVegso． Peter read some of the stories and loved them, so he decided to give the book a chance, becoming Chicken Soup for the Soul's founding publisher．Chicken Soup for the Soul turned into one of the most popular and loved books ever published, selling 11 million copies around the world． Today, we've published more than 250 books, and Chicken Soup for the Soul has become the best﹣selling trade paperback book series of all time．People have connected with Chicken Soup for the Soul books deeply． We get letters and e﹣mails almost every day telling us how a Chicken Soup for the Soul story or book has changed someone's life． Years ago, we also started getting letters from readers asking for more, not just more books, but other things, too． They asked if there would ever be a Chicken Soup for the Soul TV show, etc．Jack and Mark recognized that Chicken Soup for the Soul had grown into something much bigger than the book series they had created． So, in 2008 William（Bill） Rouhana, Amy Newmark and Robert Jacobs bought Chicken Soup for the Soul from them． Today, We havea line of comfort foods, including healthy and balanced pet foods． We're online now with our forums, apps, and a Chicken Soup for the Soul YouTube channel． We're working hardon a new Chicken Soup for the Soul TV show and a movie． Meanwhile, we're still collecting stories from out readers and the public, just like we've done since the beginning． We have new books coming out almost every month． We're always looking for ways to share happiness, inspiration and wellness through everything we do．（1）The first Chicken Soup for the soul________．A Was published by Peter VesgsoB was Jack and Mark's ownexperiences． C encouraged people to be speakers D told stories that happened in kitchens．（2）The underlined word "stalled" in Paragraph 2 probably means________．A stopped making moneyB stopped making progressC stopped following the original planD stopped attracting the attention of big publishers．．（3）Jack and Mark sold Chicken Soup for the Soul because________．A they lost interest in itB the business needed to be made largerC reader got tired of the seriesD it could be sold at a high price．（4）What's the text mainly about？________A Storytelling masters．B Publishing in different periods．C The importance of reader's support．D The history of Chicken Soup for the Soul．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.

27．The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the sleeping problems caused by the moon’s cycles
The Swiss team doesn’t know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some body’s biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles. There may be another reason, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night. Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab.

Reading comprehensionSection ADirection: 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.With the sudden urge for social engagements in the modern world, many events and activities are being promoted to attract teens and adults. While adults feel out of place in a space filled with younger aged teens, teens often find themselves having to ___51___ between two extremes being presented by society: either teens decide to attend these events and are heavil y pressured to”take just one sip ,” or ___52___ the popular act of drinking. The legal drinking age is currently eighteen, but the illegal drinking age is as low as zero. Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13. Unbelievably, that first d rink can be the ___53___ of a troubled life.A few reasons for teens drinking are peer pressure, enjoyment, ___54___, sadness, boredom, rebellion and insomnia. But the main reason for doing so is “to ___55___ the law.” Teenagers become ___56___ with alcoholic beverages from the moment they enter high school. That means that a large quantity of teens under the age of eighteen have used alcohol before. Teens feel as though drinking before the legal age is a big deal, so they all try to ___57___ the rest of the “legal ”society. Being a ___58___ and not following the rules is an important role of a teen’s life, though no one wants to face the consequences of being an adult.Despite the fact that it is legal for young teens to purchase alcohol, they are able to get it through their parents’ liquor cabinets, ___59___ store clerks, or older friends who purchase it for them. As we all see, it is not hard for teens to obtain alcohol. Since there seems to be no ___60___ of under age teen drinking in society, why then not just lower then drinking age? Drinking can make teens “feel good,” but this feeling lasts only for a short time. Teenagers on shows like Gossip Girl get drunk regularly, but those shows rarely ___61___ the problems alcohol can cause. Teenagers often thi nk that drinking will give them more energy, but ___62___ isn’t an energy drink; it’s a depressant. Alcohol ___63___ damages the brain and body, and for this to happen at a very young age, is saddening. Drinking stimulates poorly made decisions by teens, and ___64___, many teens end up pregnant or dropping out of school. They may even get hurt or ___65___ in severe accidents caused by their being drunk.51.A cause B.choose C.avoid D.witness52.A.pick up B.deal with C.fight against D.engage in53.A.excuse B.start C.symbol D.meaning54.A.anxiety B.disorder C.imitation D.lifestyle55.A.observe B.resist C.break D.invent56.A.busy B.content C.honest D.familiar57.A.fit in with B.make up for C.catch up with D.hold on to58.A.protester B.supporter C.rebel wyer59.A.illegal B.irresponsible C.forgetful D.unsatisfactory60.A.report B.prohibition C.elimination D.measures61.A.solve B.blame C.explore D.assume62.A.water B.wine C.liquor D.alcohol63.A.constantly B.actually C.exactlyD.unexpectedly64.A.as a result B.in return C.on the contrary D.after all65.A.arrested B.cheated C.disturbed D.killedKeys: 51-55 BDBAC 56-60 DACBC 61-65 CDBADIV.

Martha learned how to cook and sew from her mother .She also learned about gardening by helping her father out in the yard.When Martha was in high school , she made extra money by babysitting and organizing children’ parties . She was a bright student and attended Barnard College in New York city. She helped pay for her schooling through modeling jobs. In 1962, she graduated from Barnard with degrees in History and Architectural History.Before graduating from college, Martha married Andy Stewart. After college she and Andy traveled and Martha continued to model. Martha had her only child, a daughter named Alexis, in 1965. Two years later, Martha wanted to go to work. She got a job as a stockbroker in New York City and worked for six years.In 1971,Martha and Andy purchased a farmhouse they called Turkey Hill in Westport, connecticut. After quitting her job, Martha spent her time completely restoring the old farmhouse. She also studied how to cook and became an excellent gourmet chef. One day Martha decided to put her cooking skills to the test by opening up her own catering business. She cooked food and hosted large dinner parties and quickly became a success.Through her books and television appearances, Martha soon became famous . In the 1990s, she began to expand her business .

Jake,age 7,has just lost another match and is now in tears beside the court. His sister Sally, just one year older, looks at her mother and rolls her eyes: it is hard to enjoy winning when this keeps happening. It is not an unusual situation, and it is one reason why many people argue that competition is bad for children. However,the truth is that competitive games are a valuable preparation for adult life.Games with winners and losers give children the chance to experience life’s ups anddowns .Take Jake, for example.Even though he is unhappy now, he will probably be smiling and laughing with his sister in a few minutes, just like the last time this happened . Gradually, he will learn that the world does not end when you lose a game. Eventually, he may even be able to lose with a smile on his face. This is an important lesson. Not everything in life goes the way you would like, and it is important to know how to handle disappointment t when it occurs.Children who participate in competitive games develop qualities that allow them to succeed in the complex world of adult life. For example, one of the missions of the Youth Olympic Games is to inspire young people to adopt the Olympic values, which include striving,Determination and optimism. Competition creates a desire to do better. Children have to learn to succeed in a competitive atmosphere in order to take advantage of opportunities in thefuture .Although it is possible to win by chance occasionally, people who win and keep winning work very hard to achieve their success.On the negative side,there are those who will say that competition actually encourages some values , which does happen . It is common to see sports competition in which the desire to win has replaced the desire to have fun. You may even see very young children playing violently----like the superstars they see on TV. While the bad behavior of young athletes is troubling, the problem is not the competition itself. In reality, the blame lies with the professional players who are bad role models for these children. In fact, a recent study of young athletes by the school of Physical Health Education at the University of Wyoming showed an improvement in mood after exercise, athletes were less depressed or tense.Of course, there are parents who argue that children of Jake’s age are too young to handle the pain of losing. But whether we like it or not, adult life is very competitive , and keeping children away from competition does them more harm than good. If children do not learn how to compete, they will be defeated by people who can. It is an unfortunate fact of life: whether ten or a hundred people want the same job, there can be only one winner .Wouldn’t you want your child to be that person?petitive games prepare children for their adult life by_______A. enabling them to know to handle life’s ups and downsB. allowing them to succeed in the complex world of adult lifeC. Ending their feeling about the world when they loseD. Helping them to smile even when they are disappointed71. The example of the Youth Olympics is meant to illustrate that_______A. Competitions develop children’s qualities to succeed in their future lifeB. the Olympic Values should be promoted among young peopleC. Taking advantages of future opportunities makes one desire to do betterD. Only by working hard to keep winning can one achieve true success72. Which really counts in sports competitions according to Paragraph 4?A. The desire to winB. The desire to have funC. Good role modelsD. An improvement in mood73. The author suggests to the parents that_______A. They should learn how to handle pain of losingB. Children should know earlier the competitive adult lifeC. They shouldn’t keep children away from competitionD. They should encourage their children to get the jobKeys: AABC(C)Cowboy or spaceman? A dilemma for a children’s party, perhaps. But also a question for economists, argued Kenneth Boulding, a British economist, in an essay published in 1966. We have run our economies, he warned, like cowboys on the open grassland: taking and using the world’s resources, confident that more lies over the horizon. But the Earth is less a grassland than a spaceship—a closed system, alone in space, carrying limited supplies. We need, said Boulding, an economics that takes seriously the idea of environmental limits. In the half century since his essay, a new movement has responded to his challenge. “Ecological economists”, as they call themselves, want to revolutionise its aims and assumptions. What do they say—and will their ideas achieve lift-off?To its advocators, ecological economics is neither ecology nor economics, but a mix of both. Their starting point is to recognise that the human economy is part of the natural world. Our environment, they note, is both a source of resources and a sink for wastes. But it is ignored in conventional textbooks, where neat diagrams trace the flows between firms, households and the government as though nature did not exist. That is a mistake, say ecological economists.There are two ways our economies can grow, ecological economists point out: through technological change, or through more intensive use of resources. Only the former, they say, is worth having. They are suspicious of GDP, a crude measure which does not take account ofresource exhaustion, unpaid work, and countless other factors. In its place they advocate more holistic(全面的) approaches, such as the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), a composite index(复合指标) that includes things like the cost of pollution, deforestation and car accidents. While GDP has kept growing, global GPI per person peaked in 1978: by destroying our environment we are making ourselves poorer, not richer. The solution, says Herman Daly, a former World Bank economist and eco-guru, is a “steady-state” economy, where the use of materials and energy is held constant.Mainstream economists are unimpressed. The GPI, they point out, is a subjective measure. And talk of limits to growth has had a bad press since the days of Thomas Malthus, a gloomy 18th century cleric who predicted, wrongly, that overpopulation would lead to famine. Human beings find solutions to some of the most annoying problems. But ecological economists warn against self-satisfaction. In 2009 a paper in Nature, a scientific journal, argued that human activity is already overstepping safe planetary boundaries on issues such as biodiversity(生物多样性) and climate change. That suggests that ecological economists are at least asking some important questions, even if their answers turn out to be wrong.74. Kenneth Boulding and the content of his essay at the beginning of this passage are meant to .A. point out how ignorant of nature the cowboys areB. blame human beings for their exploitation of natureC. ask people to take seriously the environment limitsD. introduce ecological economists and ecologist economics75. According to ecological economists, what is the mistake existing in conventional textbooks?A. Ecology and economics are not mixed togetherB. Human economy isn’t recognized as parts of natureC. The environment has both resources and wastesD. Diagrams connect firms, households and the government76. The comparison between GDP and GPI data in 1978 has warned us that .A. GDP is crude measure that is not worth usingB. car accident should by all means include in GDPC. we are gaining material wealth by destroying natureD. resources and energy will one day be totally used up77. Which in the following will the author probably agree?A. the aims and assumptions of economics need to be revolutionizedB. GDP and GPI should be both accepted by mainstream economistsC. Human beings can always find solutions to all the annoying problemsD. Ecological economists’ concerns about the world are worth noticing.Keys: DBCDSection CDirection: Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable sentences from theWhen tea leaves were first imported to Britain in the 17th century, only a few could afford them. By the 18th century it had become the democratic drink of the everyman; but afternoon tea as a distinct ceremony, complete with pastries, was a Victorian invention.78 . The gradual infiltration of American coffee culture also played a part, as did the rise of women in the workforce (less than for sipping), the widening range of social haunts and the ebbing of formality (the Ritz still bans jeans and “sports shoes”).79 . Caffeine-free black tea and onion bread are recent additions to the menu. A century ago the Ritz was one of the few places an unmarried young woman could meet a man without a chaperone, says Ms. Simpson; women still dominate the tea guests, but most now leave their menfolk behind. And the quintessentially British experience is typically served by tall-coated waiters from continental Europe.Such luxury at a time of economic depression may be surprising. But tea seems to be an austerity-era way to splash out. At ￡42 ($67) a head, tea at the Ritz is a small part compared with lunch, let alone a room. 80 “Tea is a celebratory meal but it’s often cheaper and doesn’t take as long”, says Christina Norton.And the afternoon tea fashion is trickling down. For less grand hotels, it is a neat way to fill a formerly dead zone in mid-afternoon. 81 . The Great British Bake Off, a television programme devoted to cupcakes and crumpets, recently ended a second series. Sales of cookie cutters, cake stands and “vintage-style cake tins” have shot up, according to a department store. A pottery firm says tea, “the big thing of the moment”, has received demand for its wares. Times may be tough, but Britons are still eating cake.Keys: C;AB;B;DIV.

At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Don‟t you think there‟s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I‟m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn‟t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn‟t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That‟s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn‟t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he‟d never have won the race. That‟s for sure.”I gave up. Today‟s children are not like what we used to be. They‟re just hopeless.4.The writer argued with his son because .A.he liked tortoises while his son liked hares.B.they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish.C.he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn‟t.D.he tried to teach his son a lesson but the son had different opinions.5.Sonny believed that the tortoise .A.in fact did win the race luckily.B.took a chance by agreeing to run a race.C.was not given a fair chance in the race.D.won the race by his own hard work.6.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be .A.boys who were unknown to Sonny‟s fatherB.boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC.boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD.boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again7.According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?A.The tortoiseB.

The hareCSAN FRANCISCO—A phone app（应用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．C ity officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns．In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think．N ow San Francisco has found a solution —a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces．The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors（感应器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．But the system could come with serious consequences ．S ome people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road．“It could be really distracting（使分心的）,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．City officials admitted the hidden problem．They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city‟s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages．If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency．On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue)and which are full(red)．More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco‟s app, which is available now only for the iPhone.8.What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?A.Benefiting iPhone users.B.Preventing traffic accidents.C.Making the traffic flow smoothly.D.Making full use of the parking spots.9.According to the text, San Francisco city officials .A.don‟t consider the app distracting.B.are aware of the app‟s disadvantages.C.advise drivers to park cars slowly.D.believe more parking spots are needed.10.The phone app mentioned in the text .A.is a bit slow in reactingB.hasn‟t been put into serviceC.was introduced several years agoD.can‟t be downloaded to all phones11.What‟s the main idea of the passage?A.A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city.B.Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots.C.Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams.D.Drivers‟ attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving.DParents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, …Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?‟” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits(轨道).Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. And parent—child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “There‟s still a lot of strictness and authority(权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,”says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the …before‟ side of that change, but today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the …after‟side,”explains Mr. Ballmer. “It‟s not something easily achieved by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”12.The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probably means .A.distanceB. interestC. similarityD. cooperation13.The change in today‟s pa rent-child relationship is .A.more confusion among children.B.less respect for parents from children.C.new equality between parents and children.D.more strictness and authority on the part of parents.14.By saying “today‟s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the …after‟side.” the author means thattoday‟s parents .A.can set a limit to the change.B.follow the trend of the change.C.fail to take the change seriously.D.have little difficulty adjusting(适应)to the change.15.The purpose of the passage is to .A.describe the difficulties today‟s parents have met with.B.discuss the development of the parent—child relationship.C.suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship.pare today‟s parent—child relationship with that in the past.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

河北省沧州市第一中学16—17学年上学期高二开学考试英语试题第一节ALying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲豹)saw Jeb and his son, Tom before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar, It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb let go of his jacked, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.“Tom, g o” shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell, The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists.

Music has some strange abilities. Medical scientists have found that a person that feels stressed can actually listen to some kind of music and become well.The researchers said that since stress comes as a result of life events such as starting a new family, starting a new business, and starting a new job, one can actually listen to good music and feel good because good music touches the human mind in a positive way. Music helps you to forget the life events that make you worried and remember the important events that once happened in your life.Depression(抑郁) is a disease cause by stress, smoking, social problems and so on. Depression is also caused by problems such as failure in business. Depression may bring usweakness, headache, and loss of concentration. Good music makes one remember happy moments or good days. If you play music about love, it makes you feel like falling in love again though you may have had several upset experiences. And such good feeling make you healthy.Anxiety(焦虑) is another health problem that can be controlled by music. Anxiety is a side effect of some major health problems such as cancer of the liver and cancer of the breast. Good music makes you feel relaxed and removes the pains from these diseases and you feel all right.Good music can send you to sleep. And you need to know that sleep puts your body in a healthy condition. Sleep takes away the effects of stress, depression and anxiety from a person.5.

Some diseases have something to do with musicD. Tips for us to live a healthy and comfortable lifeCCan you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car？Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons（视野）.Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills，you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenientand too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds.Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore，these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do，and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand，the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy（侵犯隐私）, fraud（欺诈）, and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits，personal privacy，and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours，and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many，many benefits of the computer age.9. The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car because_____.A. it is simple and practicalB. it needs a lot of practiceC. it leads people to new life experiencesD. it takes much time to master the skills10.

It’s fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here. If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It’s empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser(化妆台) lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning. I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(有形财产) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed (责怪)by Mom. But I d on’t mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I’m home.12.

Because she like the fresh air.D. Because she can have a good sleep with the window open.15. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B. To declare how much she loves her first house.C. To describe the state of her family.D. To look back on her childhood.EHave you ever wondered what actions make the most difference in your children’s lives? Children don't have to be smart to succeed. They don’t have to be born rich and famous. All they need is the right outlook and a few smart habits.Successful children make friends wherever they go. Children who learn to get along with others from an early age are more successful in life. 16 Without them, we’d have no support. Whatever the goal, friends are needed to achieve it. Do your children a favor by encouraging social interaction early.17 They don’t just hope for success; they are certain of it. They don’t complain. They have a smile on their face and get on with the business of living. They feel pain just like the other children. The difference is that they don't let it hinder(妨碍) their progress.Successful children become successful because they never give up. They fall. They fail. 18 The difference is that they use their mistakes the way they were intended. They embrace failure because it pushes them forward.Successful children ignore the naysayer (反对者). They don't worry about what other people think. They follow the path that is right for them, regardless of gossip. 19 They are too busy working towards their goals. They do have concern for the feelings of others.Successful children share their success. They don’t forget all the people who helped them get where they were going. 20 They don’t criticize（批评）and reject（抛弃）those who are struggling. They take them by the hand and guide them up the ladder.A. Do you want to be a successful child?B. Social skills are vital（重要的）to human survival.C. Successful children look on the bright side.D. They make just as many mistakes as the other children.E. They take the time to teach others what they have learned.F. They don’t engage in gossip either, because they don’t have time for it.G. In fact, they don't even have to become rich and famous.第二节完型（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分60分）(一)School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired.
