高一下册期中考试英语试题考试时间：150分钟满分：120分第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）•（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AI can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!★Tomatina — Bunol, SpainEvery last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles (护目镜) during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.★Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.★Holi — IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.★International Pillow Fight Day — WorldwideTens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2, 2013．From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly. 21．According to the author, _______________.A．it’s usually hard for people to accept a different cultureB．festivals in a certain culture often change with timeC． there should be festivals celebrated by the whole worldD． festivals give people the best chances to experience a culture22．We learn from the passage that _______________.A．the town of Bunol in Spain is on a riverB．International Pillow Fight Day has a short historyC．cosmetic products sell well on Boryeong Mud FestivalD．Holi is the greatest festival for Indian people23．The passage is most likely to be found in __________.A．a travel magazine B．a technical reportC． a geography book D．a personal diaryBWhen I came to Cincinnati (a city in the US) as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a “castle”. In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood.Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.” Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn (离群的) and I missed everything I had in Cincinnati. Germany was so “cold”. I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.24．When the author lived in Cincinnati, _______________.A．some people were not very kind to herB．many people were curious about her motherlandC．she lived in a real castleD．she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood25．In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was ________.A．hard B．painfulC．wonderful D． strange26．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author?A．She lived with her mother in a big house in Germany.B．She did miss her friends in Cincinnati when she was at the TU-Dresden.C．She never went back to Cincinnati after she came back to Germany.D．She seldom hung out with her American friends as she was too busy.27．What is the best title for this passage?A．University life in GermanyB．Advantages of living in USAC．My culture shock experienceD． How to be an au pair in USACYou are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are eating more meat and drinking more soft drinks. That is totally different from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same amount of food, their calorie intake (卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians are often thin, culture — namely Asians’ hospitality (热情好客) — is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says, “Eating and drinking are important social and family activities.”In the past, however, big meals were only hosted for special events, as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and high consumption (消耗), 10-course meals are no longer reserved for important times.“In the past, people had four or more children — now, they have one or two, so they are likely to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says：“there is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and in the end, they don’t want to move because they are fat.”Because of technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.28．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Asian children no longer follow their diet tradition.B．Asian people now like to save more money.C．Asian children eat big meals more often.D．Culture leads to the fatness of Asian children.29．According to the passage, the quality food fed by more parents is actually ________. A．healthful food B．qualified foodC．high-calorie food D．agreeable food30．Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because __________________. A．they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford “quality food”B．they feel that they don’t take good care of their childrenC．the children don’t have a good physical conditionD．their children don’t love eating and drinking31．The purpose of this article is to _________________.A．compare the traditional diet with today’s diet of Asian childrenB．find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian peopleC．prove the relationship between fatness and indoor playD．explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadaysDRetirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom. However, for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮丧), which makes life difficult for them.Retirement is a major life change. Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss. When you retire, you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide. That could include, for example, 1．knowing you’re working for society, 2．getting admiration from your skills, 3．having “aha” moments when you solve problems, 4．having people to socialize with, and 5．simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day. For most people, there’s a financial loss, too. Also, retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.Because of all these, retirees are more likely to get depressed.Depression is very harmful. First, depression can make physical health problems worse. Second, it takes a toll on relationships, because it can make people angry. Third, it’s hard to getmuch done when you’re depressed.What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression? First, do all the things that help depression in general：drink enough water, exercise, talk to friends, have a hobby, laugh, and spend time in nature. If you feel depressed more often than not, it’s probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings. Second, it’s important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can. Make specific plans with friends. Take a class Volunteer. Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal. Third, try to focus on what you’ve gained by retiring. Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire. For example, days that are less stressful, a chance to rest and take better care of your body, more time for your family and yourself. To write, to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities. Finally, tell your story. You’ve lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences. You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories. Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.32．People may find life very hard after they retire because of ___________.A．freedom B．nervousnessC．discouragement (losing heart) D．hard work33．All the following can cause the retirees’ unpleasant feelings EXCEPT ____________.A．they will suffer from financial lossB．they have to support their parentsC．they may lose the reason to get up earlyD．they may have fewer people to socialize with34．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means ________________.A．it makes people’s relationships unusualB．it makes people’s relationships in peaceC．it makes people’s relationships in dangerD．it makes people stay in touch with each other.35．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Depression and RetirementB．Depression During Retirement Is HarmfulC．Reasons for Depression During RetirementD．How to Overcome Depression During Retirement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。

He was wearing only his swimming glasses,cap and Speedos.Pugh is an advocate(倡导者) for oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems(生态系统) with their large diversity(多样化) of marine(海洋的) life. When asked why he didn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis said, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult. If I ask them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica, where the average temperature is about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He said his body could only stand about 20 minutes in the freezing watersbefore it started shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature drops steadily, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he was done with his swim, his support team rushed him to a hot shower and it took almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution (警告) that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to the freezing waters can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh said he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2020, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting(正在融化的) Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2020, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.4.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?A.To swim faster.B. To show his bravery.C. To build up his body.D. To win public attention.5.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.His body.B.The water.C.His body temperature.D. The water temperature.6.What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in the freezing waters?A.One should be ready to take on challenges.B.One should be expert at swimming.C.One must be fully prepared.D.One must be used to long-distance swimming.7.What can be the best title for the text?A.Lewis Pugh: Swimming for a cause.B.How to Survive a Swim in the Cold Waters.C.How to Prepare for Extreme Swimming.D.Lewis Pugh: Achieving the Impossible.CIn every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(装饰) and household goods, and sometimes even in clothes.The furniture may often be antique, and it may have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salesrooms, where one piece might be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you can’t help thinking of those long-dead hands that polished that wood and thinking of those now-closed eyes that once looked at these pieces with love.The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over. Now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad. You think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on, to another country or to death. Although the British do not worship(崇拜) their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These daysno one knocks them down. They are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.8.Books found in second-hand bookshops may_________.A.be copies of the earliest printingsB.be on sale for the first timeC.never be worth very muchD.never be rare9.What was the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?A.Its sheep.B.

Probably one of the most interesting ways of catching fish is stilt fishing(立钓), something that is only found in the clear waters of Sri Lanka, an island in the Indian Ocean.A fisherman takes a long piece of wood. At one end there is a crossbar(横梁) called a petta, which is where the fisherman sits. The wood is carried a few meters into the water, and then pushed vertically（竖直地) into the sea floor. The fisherman climbs up to the petta, where he will sit two meters above the sea.Fishing from this position requires great skills. The fisherman keeps his balance by holding onto the stilt beneath him with one hand. On his wrist he keeps his bait(鱼饵) and any fish he may catch. With the other hand, he casts his fishing line.This style of fishing began during World War II, when there was not enough food in Sri Lanka. Crowds stood on the coastline, trying to catch their next meal. The more adventurous fisherman came up with the idea of sitting on a stilt. They could keep away from the crowds and catch more fish. When the war came to an end, stilt fishing continued.On December 26th, 2020, Sri Lanka was hit by a disaster which killed many fishermen and destroyed much of its coastline. Fishing on stilts became less popular. It stopped completely during the rainy season. As more tourists now visit Sri Lanka, fishermen find that they can earn more money if they allow their fishing stilts to be used by actors so tourists can take photographs of them. The actors know little more about fishing than the tourists themselves. However, if you look hard enough, you can sometimes find the real thing.But whether they are real fishermen or actors, fishing on stilts does look marvelous-- especially when the day is coming to an end and the sun begins to set. These photographs along make you want to visit Sri Lanka!12.How do fishermen fish on stilts?A.By sitting on the petta.B. By standing in the water.C. By keeping the bait in their hands.D. By throwing their line with two hands.13. Why did people restart fishing on stilts after 2020?A. To solve food problem.B. To keep their tradition alive.C. To make money from travelers.D.

What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To describe the history of stilt fishing.B. To introduce stilt fishing.C. To show how to attract tourists.D. To encourage people to visit Sri Lanka.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）Underwater FlyersPenguins are birds that “fly” underwater. _____16_____ The penguins’ short wings are called flippers(鳍状肢). By flapping(拍打) these wings the same way birds do in the air, penguins can move through the water just as well as any bird flies through the sky.______17__________Most birds have hollow(空的) bones that help make flying easier.

ASince you can't get to theaters, museums, galleries, music venues or opera houses during these difficult days due to coronavirus, instead they’ll come to you.Here’s a list of some of Europe’s best-known museums.Louvre Museum in ParisAs the most visited museum in the world, it offers virtual tours online. It also has a number of “Visitors Trails” in different themes, designed to give an overview of the scope and wealth of the museum's collections. Each trail is based on a selection of works that characterize a period, an artistic movement or a theme, including the artworks from JAY-Z and Beyoncé's music video.Schirn Museum in FrankfurtIt has digitally opened its current exhibition, now closed due to the virus, called “Fantastic Women” (scheduled from Febr uary 13 to May 24), highlighting the works of 34 women artists and their contributions to Surrealism(超现实主义), including Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning and Dora Maar.Van Gogh Museum in AmsterdamAre you looking for ways to entertain your children with an educational twist?

A textbook.BRuby Kate Chitsey was heartbroken when she learned that a woman in the Arkansas nursing home where her mother worked had to give up her dog because she couldn't afford to feed it. The woman, Pearl, received only $40 a month from local health care program and that had to cover expenses like haircuts, clothes and pet food. Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate couldn't believe there are almost 1 million other people like Pearl, trying to get by on so little.Shortly afterwards, Ruby Kate founded the project of Three Wishes for Ruby's Residents to support seniors living in nursing homes across the U.S. She started asking people what items they wished they had and wrote their answers in a notebook, trying to realize three of their wishes. She thought maybe they would want money or cars, but was surprised their requests were so simple, which were typically everyday items like fresh fruit, better toothpaste or shoes that fit.The first day, she and her mom bought nearly everything on the list. But then Ruby Kate began organizing donations so she could help realize more wishes. Later, she created an online campaign to help even more people. The campaign raised more than $250,000 from 6,000 people worldwide.Thoughtful Ruby Kate got this year's Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, an award that celebrates young people from across North America who've had a positive influence on people, their communities and the environment. Each year, the Barron Prize honors 25 young leaders from ages 8 to 18. Fifteen top winners each receive $10,000 to support their service work or higher education.“I feel valued for doing what m atters to me — being kind — and am so glad the world took my voice seriously,” Ruby Kate says. “Mostly, I do appreciate that I've changed the world for the elderlyI know.”4. How did Ruby Kate probably feel when she learned about the situation of people like Pearl?A. Upset.B. Surprised.C. Anxious.D. Excited.5. What can we know about the project founded by Ruby Kate?A. It has become very popular, especially online.B. It gives a hand to all the elderly living in America.C. It satisfies most of the wishes from the old people.D. It depends on donations to continue its operation.6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Ruby Kate only raised money across the U.S.B. People appreciated Ruby Kate helping them out.C. Ruby Kate has had a positive influence on Americans.D. Every winner of Gloria Barron Prize will receive $10,000.7. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Ruby and Her NeighborsB. Ruby and Her AwardC. Ruby and Her ProjectD. Ruby and Her MotherCIf you live in a town or city on the edge of a desert or coastline where sand dunes form, you might understand the threat they can have. It’s, sometimes, a piece of cake for them to cover roads, buildings, farms and other man-made developments with their unpredictable movements. Thus, figuring out how they move is important for preventing some natural disasters.Now scientists have discovered that dunes have been secretly moving in ways we never knew before. There are different explanations on dune interaction, however, Karol Bacik, first author on the new dune study, and his colleagues have found a new one for dune movement. The researchers employed high-speed cameras to observe how dunes separated by distance can act as if they're connected.It turns o ut, currents flowing over sand dunes can carry “information” to other dunes downstream in the form of swirls(旋涡). For instance, as wind or water flows over the top of a dune, it slightly moves. This can generate “swirls” on the back of a downstream dune an d push it in a direction opposite the movement of the front dune.It’s the first time that researchers were able to provide causal explanations for some of these strange, previously unpredictable movements. The team also hopes to get out of the laboratory and into the real world, to see if their models can be applied to dune movements in complex natural systems. They plan to use satellite images over large deserts to track groups of dunes over long periods.Perhaps they can start to alter the dune marching orders in the near future. Imagine being able to tell a dune field exactly how you want it to move. That's the idea that this research might one day make possible.8. We can learn that the purpose of the study is to _________.A. stop the sand dunes from moving aroundB. figure out the track of sand dune movementsC. prove the interaction of dunes with each otherD. examine a model of sand dunes in the real world9. What does the underlined word “one” in Para. 2 refer to?A. A study.B. An interaction.C. An explanation.D. A dune.10. Which of the following can we know from the passage?A. A sand dune communicates with another only by currents.B. Swirls on the back of a dune are the power to move itself.C. Some strange dune movements have got causally explained before.D. Researchers think it unnecessary to study further on the dune models.11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future research?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Unconcerned.D. Not mentioned.DGeneral Motors (GM) shared the first details of its third-generation electric vehicle (EV) and Ultium battery system just about a month ago, but it won’t be the only automaker using this new EV hardware. Honda(本田) is now planning to build two new electric models based on the GM tech.Sharing of EV technology across automakers is becoming an increasingly common practice. Last summer, Ford reached an agreement to build at least one European battery electric vehicle (BEV) based on V olkswagen’s platform and more recently, Hyundai(现代) announced plans to use the electric platform from California-based startup Canoo.This hardware sharing makes sense for automakers since the technology is expensive to develop but once it’s built into a vehicle, there won’t be much to distinguish(区分) one from another. Sharing allows the development cost to be spread over more vehicles, which is crucially important for a company to seize market share in the fierce competition.While Honda has an excellent reputation for designing traditional engines, having even supplied some to GM in the past, it has struggled with BEVs. The Japanese automaker has focused more on fuel cell(电池) technology whose adoption is very limited at present. The only BEV that Honda currently offers in the U.S. market is the Clarity EV which offers just 89 miles of range on a charge. While Honda’s own BEV efforts don’t seem to have gained any progress, they have been working with GM on battery module design since 2018 and likely had a hand in the development of Ultium battery system.The so-ca lled “top-hats” which make up the body and inside of the vehicle will be designed and developed by Honda, however, the propulsion system and battery will come from GM. The first of the new Honda BEVs are scheduled to go on sale in 2024 and be produced at GM factories.12. Which automaker will probably use the new EV hardware besides GM?A.Ford.B. Honda.C. V olkswagen.D. Hyundai.13. What is becoming more and more common among automakers?A. Using electric platform.B. Building electric models.C. Sharing EV technology.D. Seizing car market share.14. Why is hardware sharing necessary to automakers?A. Because making vehicles is difficult.B. Because designing engines is important.C. Because distinguishing vehicles is necessary.D. Because developing technology is very expensive.15. What can we infer from the passage?A. Honda has defeated GM in developing BEVs.B. Honda will be better than GM in developing BEVs.C. Honda and GM will be partners in developing BEVs.D. Honda will purchase GM factories to produce BEVs.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

teachers in China from drowning in marking papers（改卷）a reality．Yitiku，an on line software system based on Wu's idea，eases the workload of teachers by doing many of the functions that they did，such as selecting the test questions，forming an exam paper，and preparing exercises for the students．The features of Yitiku may sound quite simple，but this idea won his company millions of dollars from China's Internet giant Tencent in January．The unexpectedly successful fund raising story became a popular conversation starter among the people in the education business．"I can say it's quite an achievement for me and our company．As far as I know，I'm the first CEO born after 1990s that Tencent has invested（投资）in，and we are the first online education company they have invested in．" Wu Xingyu told China Daily．Different from other online companies that treat students as clients （客户），Yitiku has chosen teachers as their focus．"We make the work of teachers easy．Usually it takes two to three hours for them to prepare a new exam paper．Now it's just three clicks．" said Wu．He is quite satisfied with the major feature of the software．Sitting in his 10﹣square﹣meter office in Zhonguancun，a hub of innovation（创新）in Beijing，Wu looks confident and chatty when talking about his business．His fast﹣speedanswers give people an impression that he has years of experience in the online education sector．The fact is that he had been putting most of attention in directing courses at an art college until about a year ago．（1）The best title for this passage might be．A．23﹣year﹣old wants to ease

courses13．（8分）Like all big cities，Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars，lots of traffic jams （阻塞）and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes （废气）．So the city began a scheme （计划）to improve the situation．Under the Velib scheme （'Velib' conies from velo liberte，or 'bicycle freedom'）people can take a bicycle，use it for as long as they want，and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station．The first half﹣hour on the bike is free，but if you don't return it after 30minutes，you have to pay．But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy （25kg），and they are all grey and have baskets．There are about 20，000 of them in the city，and around 1，450 bicycle stations．So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this．But not everybody thinks it's a great idea．One Parisian said，"These bicycles are only for short journeys．If people want to travel across the city，they won't use a bicycle ﹣they'll still use their cars．"A city spokesman said，"The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems，of course．But it might help reduce air pollution．Traffic，together with factory fumes，is a big problem．There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities．But unless we do something now，there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise，so the problems in our environment will get worse．The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life，too．"（1）What can we learn about the Velib scheme？A．Its bikes have no baskets．B．Its bikes are light and colorful．C．It aims to make traveling easier．D．It owns more stations than the subway．（2）If you use a Velib for 1 hour，you should pay．A．€lB．€30C．€29D．no money（3）Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme？A．The cost is rather high．B．It's hard to find a Velib station．C．It's not suitable for a long journey．D．The distance between two Velib stations is long．（4）What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme？A．Doubtful．B．Positive．C．Uncaring．D．Worried．14．（8分）I want to talk about the economy．Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches．I want to talk about the real economy，the one we live in day by day．Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"．"Share prices are flying high；interest rates are soaring（猛增的）；the Dow Jones Index closed sixty﹣three points down on 8472.35．" We hear this and subconsciously switch off．Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy，"The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth．The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis，earning our living，paying our taxes，and purchasing the necessities of life．We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well﹣off society．So why do we feel tired and stressed？We have no time for anything other than work，which is ridiculous given the number of labor﹣saving devices in our lives．Our towns become more and more crowded．We poison our air and seas，and our food is full of chemicals．There's something wrong here．If times were truly good，then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future．Yet the majority of us are deeply worried．More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations．The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable，but expansion simply means spending more money．More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better．We all know it often means the opposite﹣greed，crime，poverty，pollution．More spending merely feeds our whole economic system，which is based on production and consumption．Unless money keeps circulating，the economy breaks down．If we don't keep consuming，the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）．How do we break the cycle and make some changes？We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions．We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world．We create mountains of waste．We demand cheap food，mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison theland．The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior．Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it．It is gathering the desire to do it．（1）According to the author，which one belongs to the real economy？A．The Dow Jones Index．B．Increases in interest rates．C．Shopping in a supermarket．D．Skyrocketing share prices．（2）It can be concluded from Paragraph 4 that．A．people are benefiting from a well﹣off societyB．the future generation is a big concern for most peopleC．the majority of people are optimistic about the futureD．people still feel much pressure despite labor﹣saving devices（3）What is true about economic expansion？A．It guarantees a better life for us．B．It may lead to some social problems．C．It will stop the circulation of money．D．It has only brought desirable effects．（4）The author writes the passage mainly to．A．call on us to change our behaviorB．suggest a solution for over﹣consumptionC．make a distinction between two economiesD．inform us of the effects of economic expansion第二节（共1小题，每题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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）Teenagers

Her eyes started to burn 41 they were on fire.After that, every time I walked past her, I could smell her perfume—it was the 42 I had given her for her birthday. It drove me mad, but I managed to 43 my angry feelings towards her and kept walking on by.I developed some very useful 44 to make her think about me. One time45 still sticks in my mind.

It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them or sense them without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells(细胞) in important organs. Even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant(重大的). This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and when they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthyones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. A child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.56．According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in .A．nuclear mystery B．radiation detection C．radiation level D．nuclear radiation 57．Radiation can lead to serious trouble even at the lowest level .A．when it kills few cellsB．if it damages few cellsC．though the damaged cells can repair themselvesD．unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves58．Radiation can hurt us so much that it can .A．kill large numbers of cells in main organsB．replace cells which may grow into cancer years laterC．affect the healthy growth of our younger generationD．A and C59．Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?A．The importance of protection from radiation cannot be too emphasized.B．The mystery about radiation has been solved.C．Cancer is only caused by radiation.D．Radiation can hurt those who do know about its danger.60．What would be the best title of the text?A．Radiation can hurt us. B．Radiation is the source of cancer.C．Radiation is a subject scientists work on. D．Radiation is a mystery.BHere is a poster on a middle school web site. Read the web-site poster.

B．In a magazine.C．On TV. D．On the Internet.CEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy ,you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta ,Georgia ,which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys.They look smart .They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily .Above all, like females human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study.The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens（奖券）for food. Normally ,the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber .However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms ,so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys ,grapes are excellent goods（and much preferable to cucumbers） So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber .And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all ,the other either shook her own token at the researcher ,or refused to accept the cucumber .Indeed ,the mere presence of a grape in the other room(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses .In the wild ,they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems ,are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However ,whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago ,is ,as yet ,an unanswered question. 66．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.B．Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.C．In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D．Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive. 67．The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that .A．monkeys are also angry with lazy fellowsB．feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s natureC．monkeys ,like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD．no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings68．Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably becausethey are .A．more likely to weigh what they getB．attentive to researchers’ instructionsC．nice in both appearance and behaviorsD．more ready to help others than their male companions69．Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?A．Human beings’ feeling of anger are developed from the monkeys.B．In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C．Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D．Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness which dates back to35 million years ago.70．What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah’s study?A．The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.B．They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.C．The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.D．Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild.DBurning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be "downloaded" into the brain."A good night’s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall (回忆) in the weeks ahead," scientists have found."We think that getting that first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation (加强)," said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study."It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down. I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down," Professor Stickgold said.Professor Stickgold’s team trained the 24 people to tell the directionof three diagonal bars(斜线) shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes(水平线条).Half the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers.Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch up sleep.A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so called "slow wave" sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or "rapid eye movement (REM)". When people don’t sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.71．Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 1?A．It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview.B．Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.C．Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory.D．Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview. 72．It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _______A．some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain.B．professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories better.C．some memories normally influence the function of the brain.D．sleep improves the condition of memories.73．How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold ?A．The subjects were divided into two groups.B．All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights.C．One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights.D．One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the secondand third nights.74．What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck?A．REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory.B．Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period.C．When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night, it is almost the same as having no sleep at all.D．REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall. 75．The best title of this passage is_____.A．Sleep Necessary for MemoriesB．The Importance of the First Stage of SleepC．Studies Made By Scientists About SleepD．The Scientists’ Achievement in Sleep Research第四部分:写作 (共三节, 满分22.5 分)第一节:短文改错 (每小题0.5分,满分5分)I used to goto the countryside to draw animal 76__________and plants.

He sniffed all the doorsteps and lampposts. He wagged his tail at all the children 3 saved scraps for him. He poked his 4 into baby Kelly’s pram. Kelly laughed and touched Snap’s wet nose. Then Snap made sure that the dogs and cats on the street were in their 5 . Dogs had to stay in their own back yards and cats had to sit 6 the back yard walls. That’s if they dared to come out at all. Snap trotted back to his own door. Everything seemed fine on Blossom Street. But everything was not fine.Snap’s owners, Ada and Harry, were at home. This was 7 . They always went to work on Saturday mornings. There were boxes 8 . Harry was taking a bed 9 . Ada was putting cups into a box. ‘Hello, Snap,’ she said, 10 he came in.

Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.Marco Polo, an Italian who travelled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.In 1535, when Catherine de Medeicis left Italy to marry the future King Herry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before, which was ice cream.At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.21.I ce cream was unknown in France until ________.A. 1535B. 1660C. 1640D. 177422.W ho introduced ice cream to England?A. Catherine de MedeicisB. King CharlesC. Francisco ProcopioD. Marco Polo23.W hat will be probably talked about in the next paragraphs?A. Marco Polo’s travel in the worldB.

Marco Polo’s travelB. the history of ice creamC. Catherine’s marriageD. one of Chinese inventionsBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game．Many people like the action of cheating．It makes difficult things seem easy，like getting all the right answers on the test．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test---unless the person cheats again．Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them．The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade．And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home，too．Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating．Even when there seems to be a "good reason" for cheating，cheating isn't a good idea．If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this．And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school．A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together．Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating．25.T he author thinks that when kids cheat in class，______ ．A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once26.S ome students like cheating mainly because ______ ．A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons27.T he fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______ ．A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying28.W e can learn from the passage ______ ．A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practiceCMark Twain was a great writer．He was from the USA．He was born in 1835．He was also a famous speaker．He was famous for his sense of humour．Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tellsome interesting stories to make people laugh all the time．One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing．Before he was going to leave，one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there．Mark Twain waved （摇动）his hand and said，"It doesn't matter．The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine．I don't think they will come to visit me．"After he arrived at the town，Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station．He went into his room，but when he was just about to have a rest，quite a few mosquitoes flew about him．The waiters felt very sorry about that．"I'm very sorry，Mr Mark Twain．There are too many mosquitoes in our town．"One of them said to him．Mark Twain，however，made a joke，saying to the waiter，"The mosquitoes are very clever．They know my room number．They didn't come into the wrong room．"What he said made all the people present laugh heartily．But that night Mark Twain slept well．Do you know why？That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night．29.A ll the people present laughed heartily because ______ ．A. the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn't come into the wrongroomB. the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain's room numberC.
