辽宁省大连市第四十八中学2014-2015学年高一上学期第一次模块检测英语试题I believe a common problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak.

I turned on the red lights and siren(警笛) and drove off as fast as I could. “Just my luck!” I thought. I did not know this city well and my first call of the day was a life-and-death sudden happening, several kilometers away.I got to the house. A mother, filled with fear, handed me her baby, his face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me!I did what I had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby’s mouth onto the floor. It was a button. Thanks heavens! The holes in it let a little air through.The doctor rushed into the room. He had with him an oxygen(氧气) bag.The child began to cry at the top of his voice, turned red and started to look for his mother. He was angry but saved.4.

People might be knocked down or killed by his car.D. he was afraid that he could not have the button taken out.CAustralia’s worst pests are the rabbits, introduced by a settler who released 24 into the wild for sport hunting. In less than 100 years, the rabbits grow into the millions of ones, leaving large areas of land looking like the surface of the moon due to thousands of rabbit caves. The spread (蔓延) of the rabbits in Australia was the fastest of all animals in the world. The spread of the rabbits’ disease in 1950 cut the number, but it was not until 1997 when the spread of another disease targeted (瞄准) the pests that the number was finally brought under control. Farm losses due to rabbits today still remain a surprising total A $200 million (US$112 million) a year.The European red foxes, also released for sport hunting, are growing and eating sheep flocks, costing farmers A$40 million (US $22.4 million) a year. The State of Victoria offers a A$10 (US$5.6) prize for each fox tail and has gathered 25,000 in a few months.Foxes are one of the biggest threats to wildlife in Australia.

It is a major success for anyone. But it is an even greater success for Philippe Croizon, who has no arms, and no legs! His achievements（成就）show that we can all achieve great things—no matter who we are.Philippe Croizon was 26 years old when he had an accident. The doctors had to remove both of his arms and legs. “When they cut off my last leg I wanted to die. I suffered great depression and my spirit was as low as you can get. But you have to choose—and I chose to live!” said Croizon.While he was recovering in hospital, Croizon saw a television programme about a woman who had been swimming across the English Channel. After watching the programme Croizon decided to do it. He began to exercise every day to make him strong and it took him two years to prepare.Finally in 2010, Croizon was ready. He entered the cold, grey sea of the English Channel. He was now 42 years old. It took him from early morning until night to swim the distance. He felt a lot of pain. But he had become the first person without arms and legs to swim between France and England. Croizon had achieved his dream, but he did not stop there. He looked for a new purpose. Early in 2012 he planned to swim across the seas that join fivemajor continents. During the next few months he swam between the four continents of Australia, Asia, Africa and Europe and finally in the cold waters of the Bering Strait（白令海峡）between the continents of Asia and the Americas.“We want to show people something.

Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.

Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. ―The understanding has increased many, many times, ‖says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10. 3 million tons a year to 5. 5 tons .

And that’s true all across the country.―I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age‖ J oseph Stocke, the managing directorbasic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China.

AOne afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son's school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching (干呕) into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare (噩梦). Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents，it can prove a disaster.Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building；or it's taking part, not winning, that's important；or that it is a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting—and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone's eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.21．What can we learn about the author's son from Paragraph 1?A．He talked with some mothers. B．He comforted his classmates.C．He had difficulty in sleeping. D．He suffered from stomachache.22．Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because __________.A．this is an independent school B．it is a tradition of the schoolC．it helps children lose weight D．children enjoy watching sports23．What does the author think about team games?A．They should include more stressful races.B．They are acceptable to different children.C．They should be abandoned at primary schools.D．They are less fun for those who love running.24．What is the author's attitude towards sports day?A．Critical. B．Neutral.C．Positive. D．Ambiguous.BMOOCs, short f or “massive open online courses，” mark an important, possibly revolutionary, development in education. These courses are on line, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection. Moreover, they are mainly offered by great universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia.The courses are arranged according to how difficult they are, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced. The courses cover not only a broad range of science subjects such as math and computer science, but also courses in social sciences and humanities. Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll(加入) in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use.The format(形式) seems better than the traditional school class. The average quality of the lecturers is much higher. Besides, students can learn back and forward—that is, they can go at their own learning speed, which they can't do in a live lecture. And, more importantly, they don't have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture. There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions on line for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.In a knowledge age, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom. Students taking MOOCS are usually very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of practical skills. Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives(远景) that would be the envy of any school classroom.25．Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?A．The word “MOOCs” is short for “massive open online campuses”．B．Anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can take MOOCs.C．MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world.D．MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education.26．MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes in that ________.A．there is a problem of asking questions in traditional classesB．students enrolling in MOOCs can get credit and degree easilyC．students can learn at their own study paceD．students can travel to many places when taking MOOCs27．The meaning of the underlined word “confined” means ________.A．extended B．developedC．limited D．advancedCPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans' need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.28. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons________.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US29. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons'________.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution30. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.31. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.DWhen different species of birds flock(聚集) together, their flight formations are determined by social dynamics both between and within species.New research from the Universities of Cambridge and Exeter reveals for the first time that, contrary to current models used to explain the movement of flocks, the differences between bird species and social relationships between individuals play a critical role in determining the dynamics of mixed-species flocks.The unified(群集) behaviour of bird flocks has puzzled scientists for hundreds of years. One naturalist from the turn of the century even suggested telepathy(心灵感应) may be involved. There have since been more logical explanations, including mathematical models that show that repeated interactions among individuals following simple rules can generate coordinated(协同的) group movements. However, these models usually rely on the assumption that individuals within groups are identical and interact independently, which may not reflect reality.Jolle Jolles, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge's Department of Zoology and author of the paper, said：“Spectacular collective behaviour can be found in a large range of animal species, and we now know that often these complex coordinated group movements may be the result of individuals following simple rules. However, rarely are the individual characteristics and social relationships within them taken into account. Our research highlights that these striking displays of group behaviour are much more complex.”By analysing high-resolution photographs of mixed flocks of rooks and jackdaws(both from the corvid family), the researchers found that rather than individuals interacting in a consistent fashion throughout the flock, interactions depended on social dynamics between the different species as well as relationships within a species.The researchers discovered that birds prefer to fly close to members of their own species, and that the larger and more dominant rooks take the lead by flying near the front of flocks. Additionally, the lifelong, monogamous(一妻一夫制的) pair bonds that are characteristic of both species seem to be reflected in flight, as birds often fly particularly close to a single, same species partner.Dr Alex Thornton, principal investigator of the Cambridge Jackdaw Project, now at the University of Exeter and author of the paper, said “Together, our findings demonstrate that to understand the structure of groups，such as bird flocks，we need to consider the characteristics and relationships of the individuals within them.”32. The underlined word “generate” means ________.A．set down B．take awayC．bring about D．give up33．According to Jolle Jolles, what are seldom considered about coordinated group movement?A．Individual characteristics and social relationship between them.B．Repeated interactions among individuals and social dynamics.C．Telepathy and social relationship between them.D．The structure of groups and the varieties of species.34．Birds may prefer to fly the closest to ________.A．the largest one B．the most dynamic oneC．the lifelong partner D．the friendly partner35．What is the main idea of the passage?A．How birds interact in simple rules.B．How birds of different feathers flock together.C．Why birds show preference to flocking.D．Why birds display the characteristics.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

高中英语真题：高级中学2015届高三第一次模拟考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable .They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even reali ze that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I gr ew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.22. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?A.Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.23. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father24. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The Qualities of a MusicianB. The Story of a Musical TalentC. The Importance of Early EducationD. The Relationship between Memory and Music.2.I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it , but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.25. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.A. is not used to the life there nowB. has lived there for seventeen yearsC. prefers to live in an old-fashioned houseD. has to be polite to everyone she meets there26. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?A. In a cafe.B. In a restaurant.C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub.27. The underl ined part “it” (in Para. 4) refers to______.A. a taxiB. the moneyC. a bombD. public transport28. The writer took her neighbors to France for Christmas because he ______.A. felt lonely in EnglandB. had never been to FranceC. was from a typical French familyD. didn't like the British idea of family3. Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that wassmall and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.29. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the authorA. discussed his decision with his family.B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends30. In his application for the volunteer job, the authorA. participated in many discussionsB. went through some interviews and presentationsC. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD. faced strong competition from other candidates31. On arrival at the village, the author wasA. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.4.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. Thisweekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn fr om the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did man age to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now k nown as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past GrantChester in the south Cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.32. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.A. attending the masters’ classB. working with local artistsC. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition33. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.A. common insectsB. impressive plantsC. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts34. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180535. In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord ByronC. located in Grant ChesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf二、阅读填空(共2题)1.All over the world people enjoy sports.

辽宁省大连市第四十八中学2014-2015学年高二上学期第一次模块检测英语试题I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.1. What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?A. Growing up in India.B. Once staying in Canada.C.

As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smokecaused by air pollution.But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fueltechnology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴油机) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if thetechnology can be applied to them."We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we needto reduce pollution from them," said an official.Efforts are being made to improve the capital's environment with tighter controls onemissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as thoseowned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in Novemberand December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end oflast century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has madesome progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998the air quality index (指数) gave just 100 days as good."I am glad to see an improvement," said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest ofBeijing. "Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a trafficaccident because I couldn't see a car only metres away from me in frog."In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show bythe visiting French air force was called off.Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes (烟) and sandstorms from the desert allcontribute to the city's bad air.9.

The government is making every effort to stop air pollution.DWhen my son was just learning to talk, I carried him around the house in my arms and pointed out things to him. “Look, David, a clock” He’d smile and point as I did and say “clock”. David was quick at connecting the shape of things to their words.When my son was about four years old, I walked with him to the backyard. I knew that there was an ant colony under one of the slate stones in the walkway near the shed, so I said to David, “Come on. I want to show you something.”As I showed David the ants that were crawling around the slate stone, he crouched down on his legs and looked at the ants curiously..For days after that, David wanted to look under every rock in the garden, and we often found worms, ants and so on. I recognized that David loved to look at things closely and observe how things moved, and so I continued to point things out to him as he grew older: planes, cars, shells etc. David was a keen observer, and I just gave himthe suggestions as to where to look.Today David is a medical doctor at Columbia University Center. I did not know that David would someday be a doctor, someone who has to pay close attention to what he sees, and yet I felt I should encourage his enthusiasm for observation when he was a boy .That is what teachers and parents do: encourage a child’s enthusiasm for a particular interest: music, swimming, art, reading. And we provide tools for the children. If a child likes to draw, give him brushes, pens, and paper. If a girl likes to tap on the table top, give her a drum. If a child wants to sing, give him a microphone and a Frank Sinatra recording.13. The author wrote the passage to __________.A. recall the happy times he spent with his sonB. tell us that children are full of curiosityC. tell us how to let children love natureD. advise us to develop children’s interest or talent14.

AIf the word researcher brings to mind someone who works in a laboratory doing experiments or reads a11 day in a librar y,then meet Dr.Sylvia Earle.Dr.Earle has carried out much of her research deep under the sea.Her outstanding work at sea ha s included leading around 70 expeditions(探索)and spending over 6,500 hours under the water. She also holds the world record for the deepest walk alone on the ocean floor at a depth of 381 metres.It’s no wonder she ha s been given the nickname“Her Deepness”.As a child,Dr.Earle was always interested in wildlife and was never afraid to find out about nature.Her parents told her to touch animals and insects,and not to be afraid of them.When she was older,she was given the opportunity to develop this int erest thanks to scho1arships to study botany at university.She also took courses in sea diving and decided to devote herself t o marine(海洋的)biology.It was this decision and her determined character that led her to have a truly remarkable career.After several years of diving,Dr.Earle took part in a research expedition in an underwater laboratory.The laboratory was called a Tektite Habitat and it allowed divers to remain under the water to carry out research for weeks at a time.In 1970 an all-female group went on the sixth expedition of the Tektite II scientists-in-the-water programme.Dr.Earle was asked to lead the expedition.Along with another four women-three scientists and an engineer-she stayed in the Tektite Habitat for two wee ks.Marine life has always been at the centre of Dr.Earle’s work and she is highly respected for her authority in this field.She i s often asked to give talks by environmental groups about marine life as well as her plan to create a global network of marin e protected areas. What makes her extra special is that she doesn’t look upon her work as a job,but as her vocation(天职)in life.21.In what way is Dr.Earle different from most researchers we know about?A.She works in a laboratory doing experiments all day.B.She reads all day in a library.C.She carries out much of her research deep under the sea.D.She has broken lots of world records.22.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2？A.Dr.Earle’s interest in wildlife led her to a truly remarkable career.B.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to her family background.C.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to the scholarships to study botany at university.D.V arious factors have contributed to Dr.Earle’s success.23.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3？A.Five women took part in the expedition.B.Five scientists took part in the expedition.C.Dr.Earle was an ordinary member of the group.D.The group stayed under water for three weeks.24.What does Dr.Earle hope to achieve in the future?A.To keep marine life at the centre of her work.B.To create protected areas in the oceans around the world.C.To travel around the world giving talks.D.To look upon her work as her vocation in life.BA paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped()shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper toget her.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention co me from?In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an ine xpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the ter,as steelvwire became more common,invent ors began to notice its elastic()feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-like objects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler’s clips were not the same as the paperclips curr entlyin use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manuf acturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occu pied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(),such as buttons wi th the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this was simple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant papercli p statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler—even though his design was never actually produced.25.According to the first paragraphthe paperclip is________.A.made of paperB.for holding clothes togetherC.shaped like a pinD.inexpensive and useful26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is that_________A.it is cheaperB.it is simplerC.it doesn’t damage the paperD.it can be removed more easily27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?28.The last paragraph is mainly about_________.A.how widely used Vaaler’s clip isB.how V aalers clip became a national symbolC.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian peopleD.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttonsCI was born on the last day of February.I’ve always felt sorry for February,squeezed between the big months of January( named for the Roman god Janus,keeper of gateways)and March(after Mars,the god of war).The first Roman calendar,it is said,had 10 months and no February.Beginning at the vernal equinox()with March,i t ended with December.In an agricultural society,winter was of little importance,and thus went undivided.January and February were added about 700 B.C.by the second king of Rome,Numa Pompilius.He made all the months 29 or 31 days,but shortened February,the last month of the year,by giving it only 28.Next,it was the church’s turn.In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII announced a new calendar in Europe.Many changes were ma de,but the Pope passed up yet another chance to give February equality with the other months.It’s messy,even dangerous,changing how we measure time,but Pope Gregory was hardly the last one to try.The League o f Nations received over 150 new calendar designs,and the United Nations has considered more proposals since.Each propos al involves something that supposedly modernizes the calendar.But I have a simpler proposal that won’t lead to chaos,and will correct the historical injustices against Februarymove the last day of January and the last day of March into February to make it a normal month with 30 days,and a respecta ble 31 on leap years().This would not add or subtract a single day from the calendar year.It’s a great idea.And unlike J ulius and Augustus,I won’t even demand a month named in my honor.29.The first Roman calendar had only 10 months because_________.A.February hated to be squeezed between the big monthsB.the god of war always fought with January and FebruaryC.the Romans did not like the cold winter weatherD.it was Considered unnecessary to divide winter30.Which of the following is closest to Numa Pompilius’calendar?31.The writer sounds_____in the passage.A.sadB.humorousC.happyD. angryDOne important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter’s kindergarten report car d.She got high praise for her reading,vocabulary and overall enthusiasm.On the other hand,We learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and computer skills,though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words tha t might be interpreted as negative()in describing her efforts.A number System indicates how she’s measuring up in e ach area without any mention of passing or failing.The debate over whether formal grades should be given to kids has long existed.At one level,the advantages and disadva ntages are obvious.A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing a t school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes,Grades can deceive. ()The aim should be”to measure learning,not simply what a student can remember on a test.”The two aren’t the same-and if you doubt that as an adult,ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-s chool-level examinations.If you’re old enough,You’ve lived through this debate before.At one time,it was considered unfair to put children in dire ct competition with one another if it could be avoided.The intention behind that may have been good,but it ignored the fact t hat competition,and the will to come out on top,are essential components of the human condition.32.Which of the following seems to be weak on the daughter’s kindergarten report card?A.Reading.B.V ocabulary.C.Enthusiasm.D.Numbers.33.what did the teachers try to do when preparing the report card?A.Avoid using negative words.B.Describe the facts as they really were.e numbers instead of words.D.Avoid showing weak areas.34.What does the writer suggest by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A.Most adults can pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.B.There’s no doubt that most high-school-level examinations measure learning.C.As an adult,you should not doubt your ability to pass high-school-level examinations.D.It’s difficult for most adults to pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?A.Schools should not give formal grades to kids.B.Schools should give formal grades to kids.C.Giving formal grades to kids has no disadvantages at a11.D.It’s unfair to put children in direct competition with one another.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。

My grandmother was from a town in Michigan． Summer after summer, I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child． I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in． People knew everyone, their kids, their pets, their ancestors． The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older． Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting． She would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties． She'd make beautiful quilts for each one． I remember the small thimble （顶针）she would use while doing her needle work．A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth, I bid farewell to a loving grandmother． How quickly our lives can change． We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday．I missed her very much． On one particular birthday, when I was feeling a littlelow, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me． I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow． It was small and hard． I moved the object to a seam （接缝） that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!

Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness（警觉）． paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we bestperform specific tasks．The reality, however, is that most of us organize their time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events． Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast﹣paced modem society．But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying． Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits． Disrupting our natural body rhythm, on the other hand, has been linked to problems such as depression, obesity, or headache, says Steve Key, a biology professor． When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes, it "gives us an advantage in daily life", says Key．According to him, when it comes to cognitive （认知的） work, most adults perform best in the late morning． As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve．However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter． Most of us are more easily distracted （分心） between noon and 4pm．Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around2pm, making that a good time for a nap．Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers． For most adults, problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired, according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．When choosing a time of day to exercise, paying attention to your body clock can improve results． Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm, says Michael Smolensky, a professor of biomedical engineering．Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same, making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．（1）If we know our natural body rhythm well， we can．________A organize our time around work demandsB find out the suitable time to do specific tasksC do whatever our body feels like doingD be sure to be healthy．（2）Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us________．A when we get up in the morningB when we are full of energy in the latemorning C when we are tired in the evening D when we are asleep at night．（3）The main purpose of the passage is to________．A criticizeB persuadeC encourageD inform．（4）Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage？________A Something About Natural Body RhythmB Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad ForUs． C What Is Natural Body Rhythm？ D All The Research About Natural Body Rhythm．26. About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin （鱼翅）, a survey has found． Although the controversial dish remains on the menu at most hotels, Green Beagle Environment Institute, a Beijing﹣based non﹣government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey, said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness．The survey was carried out in Beijing, Shenzhen and Fuzhou, which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide． In Beijing, 132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov． 20and Dec． 12.0nly 12 hotels, 9 percent, said they do not serve shark fin． A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin, WangXue, chief coordinator （协调人） of the survey, said on Saturday． In Shenzhen, four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin, accounting for about 5 percent． In Fuzhou, only one of the 40hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin． On average, about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food．"The survey reminded us there is still a long way to go to remove shark fins from Chinese hotels and restaurants, but the improved situation in Beijing is encouraging, " said Wang． "We found more hotels and restaurants were willing to take action over the past year．" International hotels are more active in the "shark﹣fin﹣free" project, she noted． China is the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin, which has been used in luxurious Chinese dishes for 500 years． Dishes made from shark fin are still regarded as a symbol of honor and respect, especially at business dinners, according to Wang．Research has also found that shark fin contains poisonous elements, but the nutritious value is less than that of chicken or pork． "We hope hotels and restaurants remove shark fin products from their menus, " Wang added．（1）Why do Chinese people like eating shark fin？________A Shark fin stands for honor and respect in China．B Shark fin is rich in a variety of nutrition．C The living standard of Chinese is much better than before．D Shark fin can make people live longer．．（2）In which way was the survey carried out？________A Interviewing on the spot．B Phone questionnaire．C Filling theforms． D Talk show．．（3）According to the text， which city did the best this year？________A ShanghaiB ShenzhenC FuzhouD Beijing．（4）The author wants to tell us________．A the opinions divided on consuming shark finB Chinese people' taste of sharkfin C the appeal to hotels and restaurants for stopping serving shark fin D the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．选项中有一项为多余项．27.

AArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband , Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers anddocuments. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.21. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take a vacation22.

In Search of New Friends.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward theenvir onment . “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement . Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times, ”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10. 3 million tons a year to 5. 5 tons . The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 . Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place . A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved . In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs , ; today in 1995 there are about 6, 600 . Advanced lights , motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment . Today , it’s hard to find a public school , univers ity , or law school that does not have such a kind of program . ” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson .25.

And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future, ” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. ” Because I am Chines e, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture. ” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom, ” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children. ”But parents must un derstand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12. ”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.29. What does the term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB.
