It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature（文学）class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,―Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.‖She glanced down at me through her glasses, ―You are not different from your classmates, young man.‖I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he made a great invention and invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind（盲人）.Wasn’t I the ―blind‖ in my class, being made to learn like the ―sighted‖ students? My thoughts spilled out（突发灵感）and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-- with an ―A‖ on it. At the bottom o f the paper were these words: ―See what you can do when you keep trying.‖4. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because _____________.A. He was new to the classB.

Angry.7. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A good teacher shouldn’t blame students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone should work hard.CIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers(祖先，前辈) had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s（青蛙）legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was not noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects(昆虫) around lately.The villagers d ecided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂）and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.8. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers .A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. were poor but they were not unhappyD. lived a different life from their forefathers9. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. This seems like money for nothing..B. They needed money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.10. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. The crops didn’t do well.B. Too many insects spread diseases.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. People had no money.11. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. The harmony(和谐) between man and nature is important.B. Money is more important than health.C. People must be worried.D. Good days will never be forgotten.DWhen I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty(不确定) of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism(种族歧视).Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses(费用).Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received little or no response(回应).One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities(机会). The people there were very surprised and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk(职员) in the building, who had been listening to what others had said,approached me and asked me to wait outside. Fifteen minutes later，he returned, and asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak to search for a job.I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him, so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume(简历)．Seeing this, the man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.12. What wasn't the author's mother worried about from paragraph 1?A. The chance that the author would face racism.B. Cultural differences.C. The author couldn't speak the local language.D. The lack of jobs.13．From paragraph 2, after staying in New Zealand for a short time, the author_______.A. decided to go back to his own countryB. had to find a job to supply living expensesC. felt the local people were not very friendlyD. felt that the place was not nice14. When the author walked into a building to look for a job,__________ .A. a clerk gave him encouragement and adviceB. he was confident that he would find a good oneC. he found many college students like him already thereD. the people there advises the author to continue his job search15.

I recommend them to all of my co-workers, and I own a pair of each color.Customer 2 ★These are the worst shoes I have ever worn!

The kids didn't laugh about his name, but they all played baseball and had lunch together without him. That was the whole problem. No one saw him or talked to him or even knew he was there.So when Telesforo went to school this morning, his head was bowed and his feet kicked at anything on the sidewalk.As usual, his teacher Mrs Benson read to the class from the newspaper, and today Telesforo was surprised when she read about the US Mint (铸币厂) making five special coins every year to honor each of the 50 states.He knew all about those shiny new state coins. He and his dad collected them. Dad gave him a small album to hold them. By the end of the year, Telesforo would have all 50. By the time he was ready for bed that night, he decided to take his coins to school tomorrow.The next day, when the kids settled, Telesforo opened his album and held it high for the class to see. “These are the coins Mrs Benson read ab out. And this is John Muir on the California coin，” he said, pointing. “Muir wanted to save the wilderness.” Telesforo spoke rapidly as he explained the designs: North Carolina and the first airplane flight. South Dakota, with four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore.“How can I get some of these coins? Why don't we meet after school？” Joshasked. “And Tel can explain everything we need to know.”Tel? Josh just called him Tel? Like they knew he existed? Like they were longtime friends? Telesforo held his album and smiled. So he did have friends.4．Why didn't Telesforo want to go to school at first?A．Because he wasn't good at playing baseball.B．Because his teacher didn't like him asking questions.C．Because his classmates were cold to him.D．Because his classmates laughed at him.5．From whom did Telesforo get the idea to make friends with his new classmates?A．His father. B．His mother.C．His classmates. D．His teacher.6．How did Telesforo manage to make friends in the new school?A．By giving each of his classmates a special coin.B．By sharing the story of his collections with his classmates.C．By helping his teacher to read the newspaper to the class.D．By giving a brief introduction to American history in class.7．When he heard that he was called “Tel”, Telesforo felt ________.A．glad B．angry C．nervous D．ashamedCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on mybicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The airhitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and not expensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.9 The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his riding skills10. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.11. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.DThe history of civil engineering (土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization (文明). Civil engineers began practising their profession four thousand years ago.What is left of their work is the proof that they were wise. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems of pipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. Therelics of their buildings tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids(金字塔) of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. There is also evidence that those engineers could make lasting work of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid—the Great Pyramid near Giza—comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated (复杂的) passages (通道). These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid. Many of these passages are of great length and height.The engineers of Egypt did more than design the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These materials were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.12．The civil engineers of ancient times were wise enough to build entire cities, including ____ .A．systems of pipes, bridges and machineryB．pipeline systems, bridges and farmlandsC．water supply systems, bridges and pipelinesD．water supply systems, bridges and stadiums13. Which of the following is not true about the Great Pyramid of Egypt?A. It was exactly measured.B. It is near Giza.C. Its base is a square.D. It has rooms of great height. 14．From the passage we know that ________ .A．building materials were broken into small piecesB．there were no requirements for the size and shape of building materialsC．Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of building materialsD．building materials were processed (加工) to meet certain requirements15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce to us how the pyramids of Egypt was built.B. To tell us how to move materials in the ancient times.C. To show that the ancient engineers made great contributions in the development of civilization.D. To introduce some great works in the ancient times.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。

AMy Year AbroadThis month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programs.Mariko Okada – TokyoMy year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.Carla Fonseca – Rio de JaneiroI spent last year studying E nglish in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!Alvin Chen – Hong KongStudying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework.I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my home stay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!1.

Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea.""OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his smallpocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it, so he shouted, "No more."The man was very surprised. He asked, "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?""Burnt yesterday evening."4. Mr Brown told his son that _____.A. he would be away from home for four daysB. he would be back in seven daysC. he would be back in a monthD. he liked a cup of tea5. Mr Brown wrote the words down on ________.A. the wallB. the doorC. a piece of paperD. his son's pocket6.

The man was very surprised because _________.A. he thought the child's father was deadB. the child didn't ask him to sit downC. the child gave him a cup of teaD. he couldn't find that piece of paperCI work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly. This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that the happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service(礼拜) at church that night. Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there. The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice's face.8. The underlined word “dementia” in Paragraph 2 probably is _____.A. an illnessB. a letterC. a houseD. a plan9. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?A. In her old house.B. In her old neighborhood church.C. In the nursing home.D. In the hospital.10. Wha t was the best gift that the author got on Christmas Eve?A. Alice's happiness.B. Praise from Alice's friends.C. Thanks from Alice's daughter.D. The candlelight service.11. What is the best title for this passage?A. A special candlelight Christmas EveB. The dream of an old lonely ladyC. A real presentD. The true loveDIt may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don't worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech—“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles（结巴）his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather thanon his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don't worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.12. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.A. your attention is on the contentB. you don't fully understand the speechC. you don't know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important13. People always worry about making mistakes in a speech because _________.A. they consider speech-making as an act of communicationB. they think speech-making is a kind of performanceC. they regard speech-making as a kind of performance as well as an act of communicationD. they want to be perfect14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be15. What would be the best ti tle for the passage?A. How to Be a Perfect SpeakerB. How to Make a Perfect SpeechC. Don't Expect a Perfect SpeechD. Don't Expect Mistakes in a Speech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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager (渴望的) to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding (很费劲的) job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure (数字) caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives (亲戚) and from a bank.The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers (吸引顾客). The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks (店员), Richard and Mary together earn (赚) about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about makinga lot of money.”12. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that .A. they had to put their plan into practiceB. health was more important than wealthC. heart trouble was a serious illnessD. they both needed to stop working13. After Mary got well from her illness ,they began .A. to study industrial managementB. to buy and read more mystery booksC. to do market research on book businessD. to work harder to save money for the bookstore14. How did their bookstore do in the first year?A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.B. They made just enough to pay all the costs.C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.D. They failed though they worked hard.15. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is .A. to pay for their children’s educationB. to get to know more writersC. to set up more bookstoresD. to dowhat they like to do其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

华美实验学校2015-2016学年度高一年级月考（一）英语试题卷试卷总分：135分考试时间：120分钟注意事项：本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，总分135分。

ADear Dad,Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together.I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear (档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.I love you, Dad.Love,Jenny1.How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?A. Disappointed.B. Nervous.C. Guilty.D. Frightened.2. We can learn from the passage that Jenny and her father_________.A. kept in touch by writing each otherB. are separated due to the generation gapC. have been getting along very wellD. had a hard time understanding each other3. Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?.A. She seldom saw him driving that huge car.B.She had never realized his being old and weak.C. She didn't expect to meet with him there.D.She had never seen him driving so slowly before.4. Jenny wrote his father this letter to _________.A. tell him about their conflictsB. say sorry for her being stubbornC. express her gratitude to himD. remind him of the early incidentBHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it.Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper－a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey，but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)．The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees' nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest，the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.5．Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A．It's small in size. B．It's hidden in trees.C．It's covered with wax. D．It's hard to recognize.6．What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A bee. B．A bird.C．A honey seeker. D．A beekeeper.7．The honey guide is special in the way________．A．it gets its food B．it goes to churchC．it sings in the forest D．it reaches into bees'nests8．What can be the best title for the text?A．Wild Bees B．Wax and HoneyC．Beekeeping in Africa D．HoneyLover's HelperCIt was the end of my junior year, the weekend before prom (毕业舞会). I was riding with some friends, and a bottle was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night.I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking.“No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car.“Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the mostcoordinated (动作协调的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test.That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there.The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was.I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation (缓刑) for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year.This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over.9.From the first paragraph, we can conclude that the author __________.A. didn’t remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friendsB. wished she had refused to drink that nightC. felt just one mouthful would not affect her drivingD. lost her driving license on the way10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service.B. The author thought her punishment shouldn’t be so serious.C. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake.D. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed thepoliceman.11.What is the main purpose of the article?A. To warn people against driving after drinking.B. To explain how policemen test drivers.C. To show that severe punishment works.D. To blame the author’s thoughtless friends.DIf you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. That’s because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun.The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even bean opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黄斑变性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness.With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It’s the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it.12.What does the underlined word “blurry”mean?A. unpopular.B. unpleasant.C. unclear.D. unconscious.13.How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage?A. They should study less and less.B. They should stay longer outdoors.C. They should wear sun-glasses.D. They should have a longer rest in bed.14.It can be inferred from the passage that _____ is to blame for the poor eyesight ofChinese children.A. the ever-worsening bad weatherB. the ever-increasing burden of studyC. the ever-decreasing sunny daysD. the ever-decreasing period of study time15.What is the purpose of this article?A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted.B. To admire Aust ralian children’s good eyesight.C. To criticize the present education system.D. To call on people to protect Chinese children’s eyesight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。

Then pick five Yin postures to hold for3-5minutes,or even longer if you are enjoying them!As ever with yoga,if you are a beginner or have health issues,always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.12.What can be inferred from paragraph1?A.Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.B.We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.C.Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.D.Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.13.What does the underlined word“complementary”probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Independent from one another.petitive against one another.C.Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.D.Different from each other but together making a good combination.14.Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures?A.Relaxing muscles.B.Building stamina.C.Strengthening the body.D.Quickening the heartbeat.15.What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs?A.Hold each Yin posture for longer than5minutes.B.Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.C.Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.D.Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AMore and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment.Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost! Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.Health Benefits of Bicycling:It helps to prevent heart diseases.Bicycling helps to control your weight.A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of高一级期终质量测试英语科试题第1页（共8页）fat in a year.Bicycling can improve your mood.Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.1．From the passage, we know that bicycling is becoming very .A. popularB. surprisingC. excitingD. expensive2．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Driving cars is healthier than riding bikes.B. Bicycling is enjoyable exercise for people.C. Riding a bike pollutes your neighbourhood.D. Common bikes are welcomed by all airlines.3．The passage mainly talks about .A. the benefit of cyclingB. the different kinds of bicycleC. bicycling is healthier than drivingD. the disadvantages of riding a bicycleBNow, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆) . Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales, “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money in c ar repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s高一级期终质量测试英语科试题第2页（共8页）made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used t o enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”4．The underlined word “downshifting” in the first paragraph means .A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week5．When Daniel was a reporter, he ______________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid6．Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm .A. was easy to organizeB. has improved family lifeC. was extremely expensiveD. have been a total successCWe've heard of robots and AI (Artificial Intelligence) taking human jobs , but I bet mayors(市长) don't really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon . They were wrong , and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.AI can't legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign(竞选运动) as "AI Mayor" . Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election, ”human candidate Michinito Matsuda announce on Twitter. “Artifial Inteligence will change Toma City. With the birth of AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics."The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were having blaring out （大声鸣笛）promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦) and asking for support.Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt（噱头）, as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better高一级期终质量测试英语科试题第3页（共8页）choice.7．What’s the advantage of the AI Mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?A. Maximizing the use of AI.B. Replacing human officials.C. Creating balanced policies.D. Bringing him beneficial effect. 8．How will AI run for the mayor?A. It will abolish many old policies.B. It will ask for support on the Internet.C. It will compete similarly to human competitors.D. It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.9．What’s the citize ns’ attitude toward Michihito Matsuda’s campaign?A. They believe AI will win.B. All consider it to be tricky.C. It is supposed to be a failure definitely.D. Some think it’s worthy of expectation.10．What is the best title for the passage?A. AI Runs for the MayorB. The Advantage of AIC. The Patterns of AI ManagementD. AI Replaces Human in Management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。

I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy those days.Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.After his death, I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.4. When the author was a little girl, she .A. liked playing on the swingB. often talked with her fatherC. was good at repairing thingsD. learned to take care of her family5. When at college, the author .A. received a call from her father every Sunday morningB. phoned her father every Sunday morningC. asked her father to call her every SundayD. asked her father to talk with her6.

As soon as she knew that her father was ill.CThe Beginning of the Civil Rights MovementIn 1955，bus seats for African Americans and whites were separated in parts of the U.S. On December 1, 1955, in the city of Montgomery，Alabama，a conflict(冲突), started when an African American woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and go to the back of the bus. The police put 42yearold Parks into prison.The African American community was extremely angry. They had a meeting and decided to work together to protest discrimination(歧视). They agreed to boycott(抵抗) the buses on the day that Parks went to court. The day was a success. Empty buses drove through the streets. The city lost money. The community decided to continue the boycott. They elected a man named Martin Luther King，Jr. to be the leader.The boycott continued. It was difficult for African Americans to get to work without buses，but they didn’t stop the boycott. The city continued to lose money. Finally，the U．S. Supreme Court decided that Montgomery’s bus laws were unfair and gave the African American community equal right. On December 21,1956，the bus boycott ended.The Montgomery Bus Boycott was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. Themovement eventually led to the Civil Rights Act in 1964，a set of laws that made discrimination a crime. Today，people in the U.S. continue to work together for a change. Now hundreds of organizations and community groups work to protect the rights of U.S. citizens and residents.8．How is the situation for the black in the U.S. in 1955?A．They were treated equally.B．They were treated unfairly.C．They had no rights to take a bus.D．They were not allowed to take the same bus with the white.9．What is the cause of the Civil Rights Movement?A．Bus seats for African Americans and white were separated in parts of the U.S.B．Rosa Parks was sent to prison for she refused to give her bus seat to a white man.C．The African American community had a meeting to protest discrimination.D．A man named Martin Luther King，Jr. was elected to be the leader.10．How long did the boycott continue?A．about 3 months. B．about a month.C．about a year. D．about 6 months.11．How did the black people fight for the civil rights?A．By refusing to take buses.B．By refusing to talk to the white.C．Through fights with the white people.D．By doing nothing.DWhen the movie 2021 came into screen, people were threatened by those scenes of destroying flood, severe earthquake, terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed. Luckily, they are just the director’s imagination, but the present situation is not so good, either.Take my own experience in Alaska as an example. Once I took a trip to the glacier(冰川). Along the way there stood signposts(指示牌) marking the snow lines of different years. They started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when I finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川). My heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second.Sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human activity. Our future is in our own hands. It depends on us to shape our future, and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. Therefore, it's time for actions to be taken right now. Contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. Let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. Let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. It might cost more time for now, but it' s to the benefit of our future. Take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them．In a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. The earth does not belong to us. On the contrary, we belong to the earth. Please bear in mind that the earth isour home. It is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2021 from becoming reality．12．Why does the author talk about the movie 2012 in the passage ?A．To give example．B．To lead into the topic．C．To make prediction． D．To provide the evidence．13．How did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier?A．Worried．B．Puzzled． C．Scared． D．Bored．14．According to the passage, you are advised to .A．drive our own private cars instead of taking buses to some placeB．recycle everything that is usedC．go to see the movie 2021 at onceD．work together to take good care of our planet15．What does the author mean by saying "small drops of water make a big ocean"?A．Think twice before taking action,B． It's our duty to protect the ocean．C．Everyone together can make a difference．D． It's important to save every drop of water．第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage （按摩）chair, and take a nap.Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfe ct place to go when you’re on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.The 20-minute session is priced at $ 3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $ 7, and the 50-minute session is $ 9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the “healing center”. You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”. You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the manyother refreshing drinks on the menu.Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available.(空闲的) “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.Some have described Mr. Healing and other similar cafes in South Korea as simple fashions, but others see them as a sustainable business model, because they offera service that Koreans really need.8.

Critical（批判的）.D.Neutral （中立的）DLike many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager (渴望的) to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding (很费力的) job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure (数字) caught her attention: She’d readsomewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives (亲戚) and from a bank.The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers (吸引顾客). The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks (店员), Richard and Mary together earn (赚) about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”12. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that .A. they had to put their plan into practiceB. health was more important than wealthC. heart trouble was a serious illnessD. they both needed to stop working13. After Mary got well from her illness ,they began .A. to study industrial managementB. to buy and read more mystery booksC. to do market research on book businessD. to work harder to save money for the bookstore14. How did their bookstore do in the first year?A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.B. They made just enough to pay all the costs.C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.D. They failed though they worked hard.15. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is .A. to pay for their children’s educationB. to get to know more writersC. to set up more bookstoresD. to dowhat they like to do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。

The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick.Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic (慢性的) diseases.Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63,000 men from NewSouth Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat.The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30 minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day.Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet, you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body.4. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that ________.A. doctors should treat all the patients wellB. doctors should make use of every methodC. one should value his health before he loses itD. one should depend on himself to keep healthy5. How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study?A. By examining some records and reports.B. By making some laboratory experiments.C. By talking with the doctors and patients.D. By watching the men’s daily performance.6. According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting, one should ________.A. exercise more oftenB. change his jobC. stay away from the deskD. stand or walk more7. what’s the passage mainly about?A.people who sit down often are at a higher risk of being attacked by serious illnesses.B. People who sit longer daily have more chance of falling ill.C. people who do exercises regularly are less likely to get sick.D. People who exercise every morning for 30minutes will not reduce the health risk.CEric and Doris King Turner are packing their bags for New Zealand. They're busy deciding what to pack and what to leave behind in Britain and are making plans to extend their new home in Nelson. Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87. Eric thinks he's Britain's oldest emigrant.In January next year Eric King Turner and his wife of 12 years will wave goodbyeto their neighbors, and set sail from Southampton on the voyage of a lifetime. The ocean liner (远洋客轮)Saga Rose will take six weeks to get to Auckland and the coupleare expecting a red-carpet welcome from family.Doris was born in New Zealand but gave up her homeland when the couple met and married in the late 1990s. But New Zealand is close to both their hearts and the attraction of family and friends, and the good fishing helped to persuade them to move.Doris, who has five children and nine grandchildren, supported her husband's application to settle in New Zealand. The paperwork took five months. Eric says, "Wenot only had to produce a marriage certificate but we had to produce evidence thatwe were in a long and stable relationship!" He also said he was not asked about hisage but had to show that he could support himself financially in New Zealand."I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but itis not so crowded." His wife has always been “a little bit homesick〞 but has never complained.

What’s the old couple’s attitude towards living in New Zealand?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Horrified.D.Surprised.DWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.〞 I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!〞I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need t o think like sales people. 〞But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.〞What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.〞 Years later, withgreat efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not aneasy job. I will show you how in the following chapters(章节).12. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as hisfather did.13. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _ .A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees14. After entering the business world, the author found .A. it easy to think like a customerB. hi s first boss’s sales ideasreasonableC. his father’s fishing advice inspiringD. it difficult to sell services to poorpeople15. This passage most likely comes from .A. a book about salesB.a fishing guideC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s story第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。

Uncertain.CE-Sports（electronic sports），short for electronic sports,is one of the growing industries in the world,with prizes totaling around ＄25 million up for grabs in some tournaments.E-Sports are professional multiplayer video game competitions.Any video game with a strong competitive （竞争的）element is considered e-Sports.The competition models itself after traditional professional sports in several ways：it uses corresponding tournament formats,involves player contracts,and is governed by regulations.The athletes who compete in e-Sports competitions are gamers.The history of e-Sports dates back to 1972 when some Stanford University students competed in the Intergalactic Space War Olympics for the opportunity to win a one-year subscription to the Rolling Stone Magazine.E-Sports pretty much continued on the rather quiet path until the 80s when competitions like the Space Invaders Championship shot them to the spotlight.2002 marked the beginning of a new era for the sport and laid the foundation（基础）for whate-Sports would become thanks to the release of the Xbox live,which brought online play to consoles.Halo Ⅱ became the first game to be shown on national television for Major League Gaming in 2004，paving the way for e-Sports to become a global phenomenon.Today,e-Sports are growing at a rapid pace thanks to advance in technology and the arrival of streaming services like Twitch which have exposed video game competitions to a new audience due to their extensive reach.To understand how much impact（影响）Twitch has made,data（数据）from gaming analyst group Newzoo show that e-Sports global audience increased 43 percent from 204 million to 292 million between 2014 and 2016.Interestingly,this coincides（一致）with Amazon's acquisition of Twitch in 2014 and its effort to make the competition a spectator sport.18.What do we know about e-Sports？______A. They are strongly competitive.B. They spread worldwide overnight.C. They totally differ from traditional ones.D.

The development of e-Sports.20.How does the author feel about e-Sport's future？______A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Hopeful.D. Worried.21.What is the purpose of quoting（引用）data in the last paragraph？______A. To introduce Newzoo.B. To conduct a research.C. To show the influence of Twitch.D. To arouse the audience's interest.DLife will probably be very different in 2050.First of all,it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.Instead,people will choose a programme from a "menu" and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.By 2050，music,films,programmes,newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.In many places,agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export.This uses a lot of water.Therefore,there could be serious shortages of water.Some scientists predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don't act now.In the future,cars will run on new,clean fuels（燃料）and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents.Today,many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also,by 2050，space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike,and work 24 hours a day.They are also easy to control.And they never argue with people.They can be easily used in a variety of places-factories,schools,offices,hospitals,shops and homes. Scientists will have discovered how to control genes（基因）.Scientists have already producedclones（克隆）of animals.By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave.Scientists will be able to do these things,but should they？22.Which of the following best explains the underlined word "vanished" in Paragraph 1？______A.

The scientists will face many difficulties of controlling genes.25.What is the best title for the text？______A. High-tech CarsB. Life in the FutureC. Is Cloning Really Good？D.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusingon tasks, I could not.In my first literature（文学） class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story andthen write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able todo it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from yourclassmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take ithome.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It wasabout a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t getmuch education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he made a great invention andinvented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world ofknowledge to the blind（盲人）.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted”students? My thoughts spilled out（突发灵感） and my pen started to dance. Icompleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I justneeded a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why shouldI ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day-- with an“A” on it. At the bottomof the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying.”4.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because _____________.A.He was new to the classB.

The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy.After all, their forefathers(祖先，前辈) had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers therewere some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s（青蛙） legs. However, they didnot have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was not noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects(昆虫) around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂）and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.8.

She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism(种族歧视).Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place andpeople very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance ofgetting a job to supply my living expenses(费用).Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door for a job. However, I received little or no response(回应).One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities(机会). The people there were very surprised and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk(职员) in the building, who had been listening to what others had said, approached me and asked me to wait outside. Fifteen minutes later，he returned, and asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak to search for a job.I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him, so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume(简历)．Seeing this, the man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job. It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.12. What wasn't the author's mother worried about from paragraph 1?A. The chance that the author would face racism.B.
