期中英语试卷题号I II III IV V VI总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare （兔子）and the tortoise （乌龟）．At the end I said，" Son，remember：Be slow and steady （镇定的），and that will win the race．Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise？"Sonny opened his eyes wide，"Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy，Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway？"I was shocked，"But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!""He must have wished that，" Sonny said，"Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare？He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did．" "He didn't have such a wish，" I insisted．"He won the race by perseverance （毅力），by pushing on steadily．"Sonny thought a while．"That's a lie，" he said．"He won it because he was lucky．If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep，the tortoise would never have won the race．He could be as steady as you like，or a hundred times steadier，but he'd never have won the race．That's for sure．"I gave up．Today's children are not like what we used to be．They're just hopeless．1.The writer argued （辩论）with his son because ______ ．A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral （品德）lesson but the son had totally differentopinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn't．2.The writer thinks that his generation （一代人）______ ．A. are cleverer than Sonny's generationB. have the same ideas about life as Sonny's generationC. are more hopeful than Sonny's generationD. have different ideas about life from Sonny's generation3.According to the passage，who do you think learnt a lesson？______A.

Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.Ideas for summer work:●Parks and Recreation Programs.●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.●Working part-time at a day care (日托) for the summer.●Car washing.●Working at local vegetable stands.The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others' inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or at least you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting .4.The passage is mainly written for______.A. teenagersB. teachersC. parentsD. website designers5.Which of the following is NOT considered when teenagers look for summer jobs?A. Who they'd better work for.B. How much should be paid.C. Whether the jobs are safe.D. Where the workplace is.6.What can we learn about ?A. The author set up the website.B. It gives information about educating children.C. People need to pay to visit the website.D. It offers ideas for children to make money.CMost people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer thinkleft-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.7.After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found_______.A. the art began from 1,500B. ;C.B. the works of art ended in the 1950sC. most people shown in the works of art are right-handedD. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed8.What is the hand for most people used to do?A. It’s used to find or hold things.B. It’s used to work with things.C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.9.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.10.The best title for this passage is _______.A. Scientists’ New InventionsB. Left-handed PeopleC. Which HandD. Different Brains, Different Hands二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The way to lift up your mood Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard，when there's nobody to talk to and the mood （情绪）is just getting worse and worse．(1)The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively．It's very hard，because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad things we have．But if you'll try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee，the chances for changing your mood into better are very good．Just try to avoid bad thoughts．(2)(3) It could be something you wanted for a long time-a short trip，a coat，a ring or anything that could lift up your mood．It doesn't have to be costly，but it has to be good to yourself．Not only giving gifts to yourself can lift up your mood．(4) Think of your friends，family，relatives or even local charities （慈善机构），choose one person and give him a gift．It doesn't have to be something expensive or big．It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor's child．Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind．Take control of your feelings．Don't let them control you．(5) Just follow the advice above，and start doing something．A．Cry aloud if you feel it is necessary．B．Here are some things that may help you lift up your mood．C．Making yourself feel better isn't that hard．D．Buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy．E．Do your best to find someone to talk to．F．Instead，try to think about the bright side of your life．G．You should also try doing something only for yourself，something totally selfish．11.

He was weak and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading," Drink your juice." Such a gesture, l knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn’t love you?" "Well, he never tel ls me, "I complained." He never tells me either," she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us. "I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad made steel into a device that cut it as cleanly as a butcher cuts meat. The machine looked like a large pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don' t you hire someone to dothat for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment(涂抹油). "Why don’t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me. l walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.36. The author’s father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because_______.A. that was the author's favoriteB. he was sure the author would be thirstyC. the author was always complainingD. that was a gesture of love37. The author’s father didn’t hire a helper because________.A. his job was too dangerousB. his job required high skillsC. he wanted to save moneyD. he was not good at communicating with others38. We may infer from the passage that _______.A. the author's father lacked a sense of humorB. the author quite understood his father as time went onC. the author's-father didn't love him very muchD. the author's father was too strict with him39. If you are always annoyed by endless overtime work, which book can probably offer you help?A. The Secrets of Relationships.B. Happiness Now.C. Balancing Work & Life.D. None.40.

The three books mainly help us _________A. make good friends easilyB. improve our life qualityC. hunt for a satisfactory jobD. identify our goalsCHello, everyone! What is the true definition(定义) of Healthy Living? It sounds silly that we need to define Healthy Living. After all, we know what “Health” is and we also know what “Living” is. So today, let’s start by discussing what “Health” is.Interestingly enough, health is not simply defined as just living without disease. The real definition of Healthy Living is the steps, actions and plans one puts in place to achieve the best possible health. Healthy Living is about making smart health choices for today and for the future. Eating right, getting fit and keeping a good emotional(情感的) condition are all part of creating healthy life. Since the whole of YOU, that is, all parts of yourself, must work in harmony together, you need to put balanced energy into each part of yourself.The body or Physical: You need good nutrition(营养), proper weight, enough exercise and rest and proper stress management.The mind of Emotional: You need correct thoughts and a proper self-image. You also need to give and receive love; you need to experience happiness and you need joyful relationships with yourself and others. The Spiritual: You need inner calmness, openness to your creativity, and trust in your inner knowing. For some it needs having a relationship with a higher power.44.The underlined part “work in harmony” refers to _________ .A. keeping physical, emotional, and spiritual well-beingB. making some parts of oneself work in an active wayC. keeping your emotion and spirit in a good stateD. putting energy into each part of oneself in the right order45.We can infer that the next part of this passage may tell us _______ .A. how to make each part of yourself fineB. a few useful ways to live healthilyC. other definitions of “Healthy Living”D. how to tell when the mind is out of balance46.This passage is most probably taken from_______ .A. a research documentB. a science bookC. a health lectureD. a hospital’s websiteD“Yes, I’ll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again.” It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence. She had continued to live in their little house, alone.On the evening, however, she was standing at her living room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Of course, she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale of the house, she had bought a little flat there. She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the walls. There was a small fish tank, with two goldfish in it. When asked why, here husband used to say, “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.”Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had “something alive in the room”.The next morning, as her train was pulsing out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, “Kate, you won’t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It’s …”“I know,” Kate interrupted gently. “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.”47.

It provides people with wood and other products. The roots of trees can keep soil and water in the land. Besides, trees can purify air and offer habitats for animals.Unfortunately, lots of trees have been cut down, which has caused a series of problems. For example, global warming, soil and water loss and sand storm in dry areas.Measures should be taken to solve the above problems. First, more trees should be planted. Second, it is urgent for people to stop cutting trees blindly. Last but not least, people should realize the importance of forest and take good care of it.听力原文Text 1W: How should we go back to the hotel, by taxi or by bus?M: We’d better take the No.3 bus.

It is also one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice last century, the city was destroyed and rebuil t. In 1923, a major earthquake struck the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings were totally destroyed. It took seven years to rebuild the city. During World War II, Tokyo was destroyed once again. As a result, there is nothing of old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area.After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city. Buildings went up at a quick rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population more than doubled. Because the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world. As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen. Housing shortages, pollution, and waste treatment have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to address them.。

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.1. How is bamboo like grass?A. It is thin and easy to cut.B.. It grows quickly after its cut short.C. It grows everywhere.D. It is short and green.2. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _______.”A. shortB. weakC. tallD. thick3. From the text we know ______.A. a bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three daysB. most people call bamboo plant treesC. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it growsD. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago4. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?A. Because it is used by Asians.B. Because it is colorful.C. Because it drills fast.D. Because it is cheap.5. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.D. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects(工程).BJust like rice and noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds (瓜子) would be so popular here. I spotted people having them while waiting for tables outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV.I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on offer during the Spring Festival holidays.I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, though, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent survey has discovered that 64 percent of under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on the British Council website. In comparison (对比), 58.7 percent of young people snack in Germany, 53 percent in France, and only 40.7 percent in Spain.British snacks are generally unhealthy. Our favorites are probably potato chips,which we call crisps, and chocolate bars. From a very young age, we always looked forward to our crisps and chocolate bars after school, perhaps even included with sandwiches and fruit in our school lunches that our parents made for us.Snacks are also popular in the US. One of the things that I found the most extraordinary when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge aisles (过道) just for snacks that were bigger than some stores I’d been to in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as those in the UK, except there’s much more choice – every kind of fatty, sugary food is available (可获得的) to everyone all the time.All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potato chips and chocolate. But eating these delicious treats at times couldn’t possibly be wrong, could it?6. What is the article mainly about?A. The most popular snack in China.B. Snacks in the UK and the US.C. Snacks young Western people like.D. Some tips for choosing snacks in the UK.7. According to the British Council, snacks are most popular among young people in ______.A. BritainB. GermanyC. FranceD. Spain8. The underlined word “extraordinary” in paragraph 4 means ________.A. frequentB. specialC. wonderfulD. universal9. What surprised the author when he went to supermarkets in the US?A. How the snacks tasted.B. The size of the snacks’ packages.C. The lack of choice when it came to snacks.D. The large number of snacks.10. What does the author think of potato chips and chocolate?A. They don’t taste as good as sunflower seeds.B. They are unhealthy, so people should stop eating them.C. It’s better to eat them with sandwiches and fruit.D. It’s fine to enjoy them from time to time although they are unhealthy.CIt’s Friday night. You’re looking through your Instagram (a photo-sharing app) feed when you see it: a photo of your friends hanging out without you.Why didn’t anyone invite you? What are they doing later? Should you text them? What if no one responds (回应)?Sounds like a typical case of FOMO.FOMO, or “fear of missing out”, is a form of anxiety that causes people to feel like they’re missing out on something. The word was added to The Oxford English Dictionary last year. But just how serious is FOMO?According to a study by a US research organization, JWTIntelligence, 47 percent of teen millennials (those who are 13-17 years old now) feel upset or nervous when they learn that their friends are doing something they’re not. And 41 percent said they spread themselves too thin, trying to do too many things at one time to avoid FOMO.Today’s technology is a big cause of FOMO, according to Jonathan Pochyly, an adolescent psychiatrist (青少年精神病学专家) at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago.“Technology is one of the things that makes life special for adolescents these days,” he explained.“There’s a lot of focus on what everyone else is doing. It became a trend, so there’s pressure to keep up with it.”As social media (社交媒体) feeds are always updating us with our friends’activities, it’s easier than ever to feel left out. So what can we do?To fight against FOMO, Jones freshman Emmy Brewer just calls people and talks to them.“I’d be upset for a bit, but then I’d realize that I should be reaching out to them,” she said.Oak Park and River Forest High School senior James Cullinane said he fights off FOMO by living in the now.“If I’m hanging out with my friends, or just sitting at home on my couch, I think it’s best to stay off social media and focus on what I’m doing in the moment,”Cullinane said.While FOMO will continue to affect (影响) teenagers in the future, Pochyly said that he believes these feelings are just side effects of growing up.“These types of interactions (交往) with people are … a function (功能) of kids being more independent, looking for connections with other people, moving away from just being a child in a home, and moving toward adulthood,” he said.11. Which of the following types of behavior is considered FOMO?A. Avoiding going to parties with friends.B. Worrying about being left out by friends.C. Posting photos on social media often.D. Often feeling like hanging out with friends.12. What does James Cullinane advise people to do in order to get over FOMO?A. Call their friends and talk to them.B. Update their social media more often.C. Focus on what they are doing.D. Spend more time with their families.13. What is the right attitude toward FOMO, according to experts?A. It should be dealt with as early as possible.B. A psychiatrist is needed to fight against it.C. It’s unimportant because few people suffer from it.D. It’s normal when teenagers are growing up.14. Which of the following about FOMO is TRUE?A. A big cause is social media, which always keeps teenagers updated.B. People are paying more attention to themselves because of it.C. The problem disappears gradually as teenagers grow up.D. It will lead to serious social problems if it’s left alone.DA city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously（嫉妒地） the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty,but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire（撤退） to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to remain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed（瞪大眼睛的） and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty.I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic （狂热的）reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups ’books or I could find none. I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式)took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.15. Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________.A. pleased and excitedB. special and differentC. bitter and lonelyD. disturbed and annoyed16. The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy ________.A. offered him an opportunity that changed his lifeB. liked the book that he was readingC. broke the long silence of that summer eveningD. invited him to join in their game17. According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because ________.A. the story was from a children’s bookB. the boys had few entertainments after darkC. listening to tales was an age-old practice（习俗）D. the boys didn’t read books by themselves18.The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________.A. it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasureB. it was specifically aimed at boysC. it was written by Theodore DreiserD. it talked about the wonders of the world19. Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _______.A. play a mean trick on the boysB. add his own imagination to the storyC. experience more joy of achievementD. help the boys understand the story better20. What is the message conveyed（传递） in the story?A. Adult habits are developed from childhood.B. One can find his position in life in his own way.C. Reading is more important than playing games.D. Friendship is built upon respect for each other.第二部分：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How old is “old” ? 21 . Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived. 22 .Once an unknown author wrote ,“ 23 . Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.”24 . Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80”There are many wrong ideas about aging. 25 . Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.A. The answer has changed over the years.B. Old is a point of view.C. Older people are stubborn, unable to change.D. Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.E. These ideas stereotype(固化) people on the basis of age.F. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.G. It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, every time he asked me to 26 the hammer, just so we would have a time for a 27 with each other.

浙江省台州市书生中学高一英语下学期起始考试试题(无答案)
台州市书生中学 2015学年第二学期起始考高一英语试卷2016. 2第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）ATwo Chinese living in South Africa were killed in a robbery (抢劫) on February 5, bringing the total number of Chinese killed in the country to four in less than a month.Chen Jianqing, 35, from Southeast China's Fujian Province, who ran a shop with her husband in a small town 45 kilometers away from South African capital Johannesburg, was shot dead.“One of her business partners died later in the hospital,”the Chinese consulate (领事馆) officials in Johannesburg said yest erday. “Local police are trying to find more information about the case. And we have told the victims' (遇难者的) relatives and are helping them come to Johannesburg,” Consul Wu Gang told China Daily. Chen's husband was injured during the robbery but did not suffer seriously, said Wu.The robbery happened at about 5:45 pm local time and the armed robbers ran away after taking more than 50,000 South African rand (US $8,200) and some jewelry, Xinhua News Agency reported.The killing happened just three days after Chen Jingmin, a 23-year-old man from Qingdao, Shandong Province, was shot dead north outside Johannesburg by armed robbers. On January 10, a Hong Kong businessman was attacked and robbed at his home in Johannesburg and died the next day in the hospital. All these happened just in less than a month.According to records, there were more than 40 robberies attacking Chinese in South Africa last year, in which eight were killed. More than 100,000 Chinese are doing various kinds of businesses in South Africa, according to a Chinese official in the country. An increasing number of them are becoming targets (目标) of robbers after buying big houses or luxury cars, the official said. 1．The passage is probably ______.A. a business storyB. a scientific articleC. a newspaper reportD. an official document2．Who were killed on February 5 in a small town near Johannesburg?A. Chen Jianqing and her husband.B. Chen Jianqing and one of her partners.C. Chen Jingmin and a Hong Kong businessman.D. Chen Jingmin and one of his relatives.3．How many Chinese were killed in South Africa since January ?A. 2B. 4.C. 5.D. 8.4．_______are more likely to be robbed in South Africa.A. Those Chinese who depend too much on local policeB. Those Chinese who live near the capital of South AfricaC. Those Chinese who open shops selling Chinese goodsD. Those Chinese who leave others the impression of being richBUrban citizens(市民)can enjoy a more colorful life than rural citizens.Townspeople are well informed because they have the easier access to news，while country people are uniformed because these districts are hard to get to.Urban traffic is so welldeveloped that the residents there often visit exhibitions and parks which are only a short bus ride away. For country people this is a major operation which involves considerable planning.Shopping，a necessary activity in everyday life is more convenient in the city than in the countryside. Townspeople can buy whatthey want at any time of a day.But rural residents go to town at most once a week.So after shopping they always stagger home loaded with heavy purchases. As for as meals and clothes concerned，townspeople are wellfed and welldressed as there is an adequate(足够的)supply of goods.But rural residents are too busy to pay particular attention to them.It is for these reasons that more and more people are moving into the city and looking for a rest there.On the contrary，some people are attracted by the rural area.Air pollution，noise and overcrowding which are the biggest problems confronting townspeople seem strange for rural residents.Medical studies have proved that rural residents can live longer than urban residents, because they are free from a polluted environment. In addition，the crime rate in the city is several times higher than in the countryside.As is known to all，the life in any city is much more expensive than in the countryside.So the safe, quiet and cheap life in the country appeals to(对……有吸引力)many city residents.Either an urban or a rural area gives pleasure and trouble.But，I believe，the suburban area has the excellencies(优点)of both and is superior to both.As the automobile industry develops，more and more people will make their homes in suburban areas.5．When visiting an exhibition in town，country people have to ________.A．listen to local news B．take a busC．make a careful plan D．ask friends for help6．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us the differences between urban and rural life in ________. A．communication，traffic and shoppingB．traffic，shopping and dietC．education，living conditions and housingD．traffic，medicine and shopping7．According to the passage，rural people are not as welldressed as urban citizens mainly because________.A．they live far away from townB．they live a poorer lifeC．they are busy with their workD．they don't like to dress up8． For rural residents，the problems the urban citizens facing are________.A．common B．unfamiliarC. wellknown D．unimportantCWinter is dangerous for drivers because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place easily. Bad weather can be waiting to meet you. Ice might be hiding under the snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you might suddenly move across the road. Here are two rules for driving safely on icy roads:Rule Number One is to drive smoothly. Irregular movements can make a car very difficult to manage. So each time you either turn the wheel, touch the brake or increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Just imagine you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. You should drive carefully enough in or der that you wouldn’t get the coffee out of the cup.Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the farther you have to look down the road. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally speaking, allow double your normalstopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times, or you will get into trouble.9. Driving in winter is dangerous because _________.A. drivers usually have too much coffeeB. people drive three times faster than usualC. unexpected things may often happenD. people drive more gently and slowly10．Rule Number One mainly tells us _________.A. to drive fast on snowy roadsB. to increase the driv ing speedC. to manage your car i rregularlyD. to drive smoothly on icy roads11．Why does the writer mention “a full cup of hot coffee” in Paragraph2?A. To enjoy the driving with a cup of coffee.B. To explain the importance of careful and smooth driving.C. Because drinks are important for drivers.D. Because he wants drivers to have a rest.12．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Winter DrivingB. Careless DrivingC. Traffic AccidentsD. Bad WeatherDEveryone knows that e ating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in.See happy movies… and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container. Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth（来来回回）about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating（再分配）snack foods into small p lastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.13．Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. Because it’s available here and there.B. It’s delicious from chips to candy.C. It’s easily taken everywhere.D. It’s easily bought in fast food restaurants.14．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.B. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.C. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.D. People prefer to snake from a large bucket.15．What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?A. To eat nothing in the morning.B. To get up early and to go to bed late.C. To eat breakfast and exercise.D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。

Thanks to the assistance of tiger sharks, a huge seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks has been discovered, offering the world a tool to fight climate change.Seagrass has usually been detected by Earth-orbiting satellites that identify darker spots in the blue water. In a recent study, tiger sharks were selected as research tools due to their highly consistent associations with seagrass ecosystems. They spent 70% of their time in seagrass meadows. The team equipped eight tiger sharks with satellite labels, seven sharks with camera labels, and used a 360-degree camera on a shark for the first time ever.The data researchers collected was astonishing. The world’s largest seagrass ecosystem, measuring at least 66,900 square kilometers, has been discovered. This reflects a 41% increase from previous estimates of global seagrass. Seagrass can capture (捕获) huge quantities of carbon by photosynthesis (光合作用) and stores it on the seafloor. In terms of climate change, this is excellent news; seagrass is 35 times faster at removing carbon than tropical rainforests. When referring to global seagrass carbon stock estimates, the study indicates that seagrass in the Bahamas may contain 19.2% to 26.3% of all the carbon stored in seagrass meadows on Earth.Yet seagrass meadows are rapidly disappearing, with over 92% of meadows in theUK gone, according to the World Wildlife Fund. Scientists are collecting seeds and trying to grow new seagrass meadows through restoration projects. This new discovery offers optimism and proves the importance of the ocean for healing.The sharks led us to the seagrass ecosystem in the Bahamas, which we now know is likely the most significant blue carbon sink on the planet. What this discovery shows us is that ocean exploration and research are essential for a healthy future. The undeveloped potential of the ocean is limitless. These meadows can be protected and can be copied, offering hope for climate change around the globe.4．How was the seagrass meadow in the Bahamas Banks discovered?A．By analyzing satellites images.B．By keeping track of tiger sharks.C．By using a 360-degree camera.D．By carrying out restoration projects.5．What is the benefit of seagrass in terms of climate change?A．Seagrass provides food for tiger sharks.B．Seagrass stores large amounts of carbon.C．Seagrass absorbs wastes from the ocean.D．Seagrass supplies a habitat to sea animals.6．What is the main message conveyed in the passage?A．Tiger sharks are a tool to detect seagrass meadows.B．Seagrass meadows are disappearing at an alarming rate.C．Scientists are making progress in restoring seagrass meadows.D．Seagrass meadows have a great potential to fight climate change.7．What is the writer’s attitude towards the discovery of seagrass meadows? A．Concerned. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.Recently I bought a book about signposts. Signposts aren’t very interesting, you’re thinking. Well, that, of course, depends on whether you happen to be lost! Ancient travelers would have been grateful for these when settlements were smaller and further apart. In winter, the ability to reach shelter for the night could bethe difference between life and death.One of the very earliest waymarks discovered is in Cumbria. Dating from Roman times, it had lain fallen until 1836, when a farmer ploughing his fields came across a sandstone shaft (碑文). There are other stone posts that have stood by roadsides for centuries. It wasn’t until 1697 that an act was passed declaring that guide-stones must be built.This applied to remote parts of the country where there might be confusion as to which path led to the nearest market town. Later, with the appearance of the Royal Mail, the number rose still further. Nowadays many of these early road signs are designated (指定) as Listed Monuments.“How times change!” Lucy, an enthusiastic walker, to whom I loaned the book, exclaimed.“I suppose now we all rely far more upon mobile phones to guide us.”“Yet they aren’t perfect. Whenever I go out, I prefer a map. I never have to worry about running out of battery.”“I’m always grateful to whoever is placing way-markers along the route,” she added, “I suppose that however sure we are, a little outside confirmation is always welcome.”Lucy is quite right there. Life itself can offer us a great many choices of path, and sometimes it isn’t easy to know if we’ve chosen the best one.Perhaps when it comes to gratitude, we should also include thanks for those people who appear in our lives when we most need them — either giving us gentle warning that we might be heading in the wrong direction, or reassurance that we are on the right track. After all, we’d be lost without them!8．What does the underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Signposts. B．Abilities. C．Settlements. D．Shelters. 9．What contributed to the initial spread of signposts?A．The market trade. B．The act passed in 1697.C．The discovery of the sandstone. D．The appearance of the Loyal Mail. 10．What does Lucy think of signposts?A．Popular. B．Outdated. C．Imperfect. D．Helpful.11．What does the author learn from signposts?A．To choose right tracks. B．To live a colorful life.C．To have a grateful mind. D．To offer practical choices.A study offers even more evidence of the harmful health effects of sugar. The research, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that diets higher in free sugars –a category that includes sugar added to processed foods and sodas, as well as that found in fruit juice and syrups—raise one’s risk of heart disease and stroke.The study relied on data about the eating habits of more than 110,000 people aged 37 to 73 in the United Kingdom, whose health outcomes were then tracked over about nine years. An author of the study, Cody Watling said sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables are not considered “free sugars” and were excluded from the analysis. The researchers estimated participants’carbohydrate(碳水化合物) intakes and then further broke that down by type of carbohydrate to focus on free sugars.Then the authors compared that to the participants’possibility of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. The people who were found to have the highest risk of heart disease or stroke consumed about 95 grams of free sugar per day, which accounts for 18% of their daily energy intake, Watling said.“Avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages is probably the single most important thing we can do,” said Walter Willett. He added that although there are some health benefits to drinking a small glass of orange juice occasionally, its sugar content means “a glass of fruit juice is the same thing as Coke.”Cody Watling said the study demonstrates that the types of carbohydrates people choose to eat may matter more than the total amount. “What’s really important for overall general health and well-being is that we’re consuming carbohydrates that are rich in whole grains,”he said, while “minimizing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.”12．What can we learn from the text?A．Free sugar refers to the sugar added to processed foods.B．Walting didn’t research sugars that occur naturally in whole fruits and vegetables.C．The free sugar accounts for 18%of people’s daily sugar intake.D．Walting suggested us avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages.13．What does the underlined phrase “break down” mean in paragraph 2? A．Classify. B．Destroy. C．Analyze. D．Confirm. 14．Which section of a magazine is this text taken from?A．Health and life. B．Food and Culture.C．Science and Technology. D．Medicine Science.15．What’s the purpose of the text?A．To encourage people to refuse fruit juice.B．To ask people to say no to free sugar.C．To advise people to consume more types of carbohydrates.D．To warn people against diets with higher free sugars.二、七选五Is your glass of milk half-full or half-empty? This saying is often used to test people’s outlook in a situation; do they focus on the positives(a half- full glass)well-being.Why is thinking positively good for you?Research shows that people who are optimistic and think positively tend to experience less stress and cope well when faced with life’s challenges. People who are more pessimistic may find it hard to believe that these challenges will pass. Scientists have even found that thinking positively can make you live longer. According to Professor Tali Sharot, being optimistic about the future can make you happier and more successful. 17Worrying is like a fire alarm.Everybody can worry from time to time. Worrying can help to keep you safe—if you were never worried and were overly positive about how things would turn out, you wouldn’t recognize risks.“ 18 It’s like a fire alarm,” says childpsychotherapist RachelMelville-Thomas. “The trouble is that sometimes it goes off when there isn’t a huge danger to face.” When this happens, you can feel anxious and hopeless about what lies ahead.19Optimism is shaped by your genes, which carry characteristics inherited from your parents, and by what happens to you. 20 Research has shown that it can help to draw or write an outcome that’s positive —for example, an image of you playing guitar, having passed your next grade. Imagining this can motivate you to work to achieve it, such as practicing every day after school.A．Learn to think positively.B．Sometimes worrying can do harm to our health.C．The way you think positively or negatively largely depends on your genes.D．Worrying is our brain warning us that there might be something threatening.E．However, no matter your starting point, everyone can learn to become more optimistic.F．Thinking positively, with a belief that most things will turn out well, is called optimism.G．This’s because you believe your goals are achievable, which encourages you to work towards them.三、完形填空Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age.

浙江省高一下期中考试英语试卷(附参考答案与解析)
浙江省高一下期中考试英语试卷(附参考答案与解析）（满分：150分；考试时间：120分钟）学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation. Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, BhutanSituated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, JapanNeighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.Man Mo Temple in Hong KongThis Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.Kek Lok Si Temple, MalaysiaPenang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).1．If you hope to enjoy a sea view, which temple is the best choice?A．Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan. B．Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan.C．Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong. D．Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia.2．What do we know from the text?A．Kek Lok Si Temple is the largest temple in Malaysia.B．Paro Taktsang earned its nickname due to its unique location.C．Seiganto-ji is a time-honored temple with magnificent surroundings. D．Visitors tend to take photos to show their respect for Man Mo Temple. 3．Where is the text probably taken from?A．A travel journal. B．A tourist brochure.C．A geography textbook. D．An academic article.“Today I will give you a special test,” said the English teacher with a smile on his face. All the students sat up straight and waited for the test to begin.The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he finished handing out the test papers, he asked them to begin.The students were very surprised to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点) in the centre of the paper. The teacher noticed the students' surprise and said, “I want you to write about what you see there.” At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' answer sheets and read the answers. All of them described the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said, “Here everyone only paid attention to the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper.”The whole class listened silently, because they were afraid to fail the exam. Then the teacher said, “Don't worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about your life. The white paper is like your whole life and the black dot in the centre of the paper represents(代表) problems in your daily life. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care. However, we just pay attention to the problems like illness and poverty, and never see happy things in our life. So we should try to solve our problems and enjoy each moment life gives us.”4．What was in the centre of the paper?A．A white dot. B．A black dot. C．A question. D．A gift.5．Which of the following is wrong according to the story?A．There was a black dot in the centre of the paper.B．Nobody paid attention to the black dot.C．The students should not just care about their marks.D．The students were very surprised when they saw the papers.6．Which is the right order of the story?①The teacher read all the answers.②The teacher asked his students not to worry about their marks.③The teacher wanted his students to think about life.④The teacher began to hand out the test papers.A．④①②③B．①②③④C．④①③②D．③②①④Paris, best-known as the city of love, is also the city of book lovers! Here are four literary landmarks you should not miss.Brasserie Lipp151 Boulevard Saint-GermainThis brasserie has long been a popular bar for creatives. In its early days it was popular among actors from a nearby theatre group called Vieux-Colombier. Later, writers came in droves. Marcellin Cazes, who took over ownership in 1918, created the literary prize Prix Cazes to reward authors not successful in literary competitions before. It has been staged annually since it began in 1935.BoquinistesRight Bank and Left Bank of the River SeineThe boquinistes are riverside booksellers who have been around since the 16th century. These booksellers began as somewhat lawless figures, disliked by the authorities as they were able to get around the censorship (审查) rules. In the mid-19th century they were granted licenses to sell books, and now they are a major sight along the Seine. They feature on France’s list of intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage.Père Lachaise8 Boulevard de MenilmontantWhen it first opened, this cemetery was not a popular burial spot. It was some way away from the city centre and it had not been blessed by the church. In a marketing ploy, the cemetery acquired the remains of some notable literary figures. In decades, the cemetery had become the final resting place of many writers, including Balzac and Gertrude Stein.Le Procope13 Rue de l’Ancienne ComédieLe Procope was opened in 1686 by Sicilian chef Francesco and is still on business. Located across the road from a theatre, it became a hotspot for actors, playwrights and poets. Voltaire was said to drink 40 cups of coffee a day while he worked at a table at the cafe.7．Who was the prize Prix Cazes intended for?A．Notable literary figures. B．Actors from Vieux-Colombier. C．Booksellers on the Seine. D．Losers in literary competition. 8．What makes Boquinistes distinctive?A．Their popularity among creatives. B．A perfect option for book shoppers. C．Being intangible cultural heritage. D．Playwrights and poets’ favour. 9．Of the four literary landmarks, which can not be a consumption spot for visitors? A．Brasserie Lipp B．BoquinistesC．Père Lachaise D．Le ProcopeIn the animal kingdom, mimics (模仿) are not rare. Stick insects pretend to be twigs. Hawk moth caterpillars resemble poisonous snakes. The examples, though, are visual. Auditory mimicry is rarer. Danilo Russo of the University of Naples Federico II thinks he has found a novel case of it, as he describes in Current Biology. Some bats, he believes, mimic angry bees in order to scare away owls that might otherwise eat them.Dr. Russo first noticed bat buzzing a few years ago. The noise struck him assimilar to the sound of some bees. He wondered whether bat buzzing was a form of mimicry which helped to scare off would-be predators.To test this idea, he and his colleagues first recorded the buzzing that captured bats made. Then, with protective clothing, they began the more dangerous task of recording the buzzing made by different bees. Computer analysis revealed that bees’and bats’ buzzing were, indeed, similar.Then the researchers recruited several owls. They put the owls, one at a time, in an enclosure with branches for them to stay on, and two boxes with holes in them. They placed a loudspeaker alongside one of the boxes and, after the birds had settled in, broadcast through it five seconds of uninterrupted bat buzzing and a similar amount of insect buzzing three times in a row for each noise. As a control, they broadcast in like manner several non-buzzing sounds made by bats.During the broadcasts and for five minutes thereafter, they videoed the owls. After analysis, the results were unequivocal. When they heard both the bat buzzing and the bee buzzing, the owls moved as far from the speakers as they could. In contrast, when the non-buzzing bat sounds were played, they crept closer.Dr. Russo believes this is the first reported case of a mammal using auditory mimicry to scare away a predator. They strongly suspect, however, that it is not unique. Anecdotes suggest several birds also make buzzing noises when their nests are disturbed. And with the result of the experiment, he therefore predicts that auditory mimicry is far more widespread than currently realized.10．What was Dr. Russo’s assumption of the study?A．Bats imitate the voice of angry bees to frighten away enemies.B．The buzzing of bats is similar to the sound of some bees.C．Auditory mimicry is rather common in the animal kingdom.D．Only some bats have the capacity of auditory mimicry.11．How did Dr. Russo test his idea?A．By consulting experts in this field. B．By referring to other scholars’analysis.C．By collecting computer data. D．By conducting series of scientificexperiments.12．What does the underlined word “unequivocal” in paragraph 5 possibly mean? A．Disappointing. B．Controversial. C．Definite. D．Uncertain. 13．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A New Trick to Scare Away Owls B．Animal Mimicry: Buzz offC．A Self-protection Behavior among Animals D．Bats: No More Victim to Owls二、七选五International Languages Week is an annual event held in New Zealand to promote language and culture from around the world.

ATeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study, which included nearly 1,400 high school students, found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人) five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eati ng the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收) of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.21. What’s the best title for this passage?A.

According to the passage, heavy TV viewers tend to _________.A. eat more fruitsB. take in fewer vegetablesC. eat less junk foodD. take in high-calcium foodBFestivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. Here are some special festivals around the world．★ Boryeong Mud Festival－Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Borueong to experience the grey pools and slides．What began as a way of promoting the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party, complete with music and fireworks.While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic products, here you can cake yourself in grey as you want．★Holi－IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February throughout the country, but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world．★Koninginnedag－The NetherlandsAlthough their current Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, the Queen still celebrates it on April 30th, the country’s official “ Queen’s Day” since 1949．Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas（长围巾）and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas （广场）．Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day．★National Elephant Day in ThailandIn Thailand, March 13th is regarded as National Elephant Day to show that the Thai elephant plays an important role in the Thai history. Thai Elephant Day has been held on an annual basis sinc e the idea was first approved by the Thai government in 1998.

The word “Phubbing”, which comes from “phone” and “snub”, describes such behavior . With popularization of smart phones, we see a new "Phubbing" group everywhere in public places: in subway, restaurants, roads, people are checking the mobile phone, ignoring the people around completely.What is worrying us is that not only young people, but also the elderly and kids are getting addicted （上瘾）to Phubbing.On Dec 29th, a 28-year-old woman—a mother of two in Wenzhou, drowned after she fell into a river while looking at her mobile phone. A Pakistani man was killed on Dec 15th, 2015, after being hit by a fast moving train while trying to take a selfie (自拍)with it on the track. Last month, Justin, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance(监控)video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed that. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.Phone is the tool for communication, but now it distances people and makes them separated from each other. Therefore, someone jokes “the furthest distance in t he world is not the distance between life and death, but that you don’t know I stand in front of you while you focus on the mobile.”Phubbing appears harmless; however, it does affect our life. 23-year-old Alex from Melbourne wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eatin g since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops a lot as a result."29.

People who are addicted to phubbingC. Possible reasons for phubbingD. Advice on how to use a cell phoneDEarlier this month, blogger Lisa Henderson announced that she and her husband John had decided not to have Christmas. The family, who lives in Utah, will still put up decorations, but presents from Santa are a no-go this year.“John and I feel like we are fighting a very hard uphill battle with our kids when it comes to their rights,” Henderson wrote on her blog. “It is one of the biggest struggles as a parent these days in mi ddle class America. Our kids have been acting so ungrateful lately. ... John said, “We shouldn’t just celebrate Christmas. And, so that’s what we did.”Instead, the Hendersons are putting the money they would have spent on gifts toward service projects in order to teach their three sons the “pleasure of giving.” The children will still receive gifts from grandparents and other family members, but this year, she said, their letters to Santa will be asking him to find someone who needs presents more than they do.In an interview with ABC News, 11-year-old Caleb Henderson admitted that he and his brothers had been behaving badly. “We would hit each other. We were fighting and crying,” he admitted, and Lisa said that when she broke the news to her sons, they cried pretty hard.But so far, Henderson told Fox News last week, the family is having a sudden turning this into a different kind of gift. They have already held a clothing drive and sent boxes of clothes and candy to a village in the Philippines that was hit hard last year by Typhoon Haiyan.“The children were excited and kept wanting to give more and more,” she reported on her blog.Many readers responded positively to Henderson’s post. Some sharing their own stories of limiting Christmas in order to teach their children to be charitable(仁慈的) or grateful. “As parents you’re giving your kids something so much more special than a bunch of gifts on Christmas,” one wrote.But Henderson received negative follow-ups as well on her blog. Responding to critics, she updated her blog with a statement that reads, in part:I just wanted to explain a couple of things. First, my kids are in no way hurt for things.... They have reacted by making gifts fo r each other and packing them into each other’s stockingsstealthily(偷偷地). They are learning exactly what we wanted them to learn, because they are not moving around feeling sorry for themselves. They are thinking of others.The second thing I wanted to explain is why I wrote this post. Some people seem to think I wrote this for attention. Ummm, the attention you get from posts like this is not good and actually extremely difficult to deal with.... The reason I wrote this post is I want to empower parents to feel like it’s okay to take a stand. ... I wanted to share what we are doing, so any parents that feel they are struggling with the same issues in their home can see what others are doing and get ideas for their family. My intention is to help support other parents and to raise amazing kids.32.
