辽宁省丹东市凤城市第一中学2018_2019学年高一英语下学期第二次月考试题

辽宁省丹东市凤城市第一中学2018-2019学年高一英语下学期第二次月考试题答题时间:100分钟满分:150分第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to th e corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is im polite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!21. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places22. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.23. What can we infer from the text?A. It’s important for tra velers to understand cultural differences.B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.BDo’s and Don’ts in Whale WatchingThe Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales(虎鲸) are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.· Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.· Approach no closer than 100 meters, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.· Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.· Start your boat only after the wh ales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.· Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.· Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.· Avoid disturbing groups of res ting whales.· Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.· When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.· Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.· If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.· Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.24. For whom is this text written?A. Tour guides.B. Whale watchers.C. Vessel operators.D. Government officials.25. When leaving the observation areas, the vessel should ______.A. move close to the beachB. increase speed graduallyC. keep its engine running slowlyD. remain at the back of the whales26. What is the shortest safe distance from the whales?A. 400 metres.B. 300 metres.C. 200 metres.D. 100 metres.C“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Desc ribed as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory(迁徙的) water birds,some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city--China’s fourth most populous--that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.27.The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?A.Designers.B.Visitors.C.Endangered water birds.D.Planes.28.What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A.It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.B.It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C.It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.D.People cannot watch birds up close here.29.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.B.Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C.The airport will become a permanent home for birds.D.Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.30.What is this passage mainly about?A.Airports shut down and open up.B.Airports turn into green lungs.C.China is to open the first Bird Airport.D.Birds are no longer enemies to airports.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。

2018-2019学年辽宁省六校协作体高二上学期期初考试英语试题命题学校:凤城一中命题人:沈爱珲第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhat makes a building ugly? Everyone's got their own opinion, so it’s hard t o say. Now, let’s take a look at some of the world’s worst buildings.The Torre VelascaThe Tone Velasca in Milan is in the centre of Milan (Italy). The tower, which went up in the 1950s, is about 100 metres tall. Its design is actually a modern representation of a traditional Lombard castle, where the lower parts were narrower (狭窄的)than the upper parts.The Mirador BuildingThe Mirador Building in Madrid (Spain) was created by Dutch studio MVRDV and the Spanish architect Blanca Lleo. The building, which is a block of flats, opened in 2005. There is a large rectangular (矩形的)hole in the upper part of it, which is used by the neighbourhood as a meeting area and playground.The Prague TV TowerThe Prague TV Tower is in Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). It stands 216 metres high and looks a bit like a tall, thin space ship. Prague is famous for its architectural beauty,so when the tower was put up in 1985 by architect Vaclav Aulicky and engineer Jiri Kozak, many felt it didn’t fit in.The Longaberger Basket CompanyThe Longaberger Basket Company building is in Newark, Ohio (USA). The office blockwas opened in 1997 and looks like a very large basket. It,s got seven floors and two handles at the top. The handles weigh about 150 tons. It may not be the ugliest building in the world but it’s certainly one of the most unusual.21. According to the text, the Torre Velasca _________ .A. is similar to a Lombard castleB. was created by Blanca LleoC. has a history of over 100 yearsD. is taller than the Prague TV Tower22. Which of the following buildings might be the Mirador Building?A. B.C D23. When the Prague TV tower was put up, many people___ .A. liked it very muchB. thought little of itC. felt that it might fall down easilyD. thought that it was totally uselessBEmma and Ryan, a married couple, were driving to a friend’s house when Emma turned to Ryan and asked, “Would you like to stop for lunch?”Ryan replied. “No,I’m not hungry yet,”and continued driving. Meanwhile, Emma satquietly fuming (十分恼火)in the passenger seat. Ryan could not understand why Emma was unhappy. He had thought she was asking if he was hungry, but in reality, Emma was telling him that she was hungry and wanted to stop for lunch.Misunderstandings like this often occur between men and women, even among people from the same culture. Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University in the United States, has studied conversational rules.In Emma and Ryan’s situation, Emma was making a request in the form of a question. Her style of talking is common for women. She needed Ryan to agree they were both hungry. So, Emma asked Ryan what he wanted. She was really telling Ryan what she wanted; however, Ryan did not understand this. If he had been hungry, he would have said something more direct, such as, “I’m hungry. Let’s have lunch.”Tannen believes that most women grow up in a world where talk is used to express feelings. However, most men are raised differently and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves.Tannen says, for men, talk is often used as a situation used outside the home to gain respect, to entertain and get attention , or to exchange information. This is why men communicate by making each other laugh, or talking about sport and work. These men do not always feel it is necessary to talk to feel close or to express their feelings. Women, on the other hand, are encouraged to speak about their feelings since this is a way to build relationships.24. What can be inferred from Emma and Ryan’s story?A. Emma didn’t like Ryan.B. Ryan didn’t want to talk to Emma.C. Ryan didn’t want to eat with Emma.D. Emma wasn’t pleased with Ryan’s answer.25. According to Deborah Tannen, what causes the misunderstanding?A.Different culturesB. Different characteristicsC. Different ways of communicatingD.Different educational background26. Compared with women, men_______.A. talk less about feelingsB. communicate more with othersC. are more likely to become angryD.are better at building relationships27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Why women like to express feelingsB. How men and women communicateC. Different ways of supporting a childD. Misunderstandings in social communicationCRed meat, usually considered to be beef, pork, mutton and lamb products, have nutritional value, but eating red meat also raises some health concerns.Red meat is an excellent source of protein(蛋白质). It is also a key source of vitamin B12, which is only available in animal products and is key for both red blood cell and nerve health. Red meat is also a rich source of zine, selenium(硒) andiron. Zinc and selenium are good for our immune system (免疫系统). Iron helps transport oxygen in the blood, and low levels of iron can lead to feeling tired. Eating red meat, especially lean cuts(廋肉), with meals and snacks, may help people curb hunger between meals and help people with weight management.Health risks of red meat may include the risk of heart disease and cancer. It is usually best to avoid processed meats. These tend to contain lots of salt and nitrites(亚硝酸盐), which may damage our health. Choosing lean cuts and cooking meat correctly may reduce health risks. It is generally advised not to undercook or overcook red meat and to avoid grilling(烧烤).When it comes to red meat and health, another thing is whether the animals are grain or grass-fed. Grass-fed animals frequently have a better quality of life. Grass feeding can be more environmentally friendly as well.Many governments suggest the amount of red meat should be safely included in a healthy diet. The amount varies between nations, but several portions a week are usually acceptable.Those who choose to include eating red meat may wish to choose grass-fed animals and to cut off any fat before eating.28. According to Paragraph 2, red meat _____.A.is quite expensiveB. a major source of various vitaminsC.can provide important nutrition for usD.contains protein that can’t be found in plants29. What does the underlined word “curb”in paragraph2 probably mean?A. experienceB. developC. controlD. realize30. What suggestion does the author give us on eating red meat?A. We should eat it anyway we like.B. We should cut it out from our diet.C. We should cook it as long as possible.D. We should pay attention to its quality and amount.31.What may be the best title for the text?A. Red meat and healthB. Diseases related to red meatC. Unhealthy diet of meat loversD. Methods of cooking red meatDScientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires. As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But theArgentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’ milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,”said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had refused the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to havea cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of genetic engineering.B. Ways to improve mothers’ milk.C. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.D. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.33. Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Para 4?A. have more varieties thanB. have more nutrition thanC. be more similar toD. be more different from34. What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.35. What’s Adrian Mutto’s attitude to the genetic engineering?A.negativeB. supportiveC.indifferentD.mixed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。

2017—2018学年度下学期省六校协作体高二联合考试英语试题命题学校:凤城一中命题人:高二英语组校对人:高二英语组第I 卷第一部分:听力(共两节,满分30分)第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ALife in space will certainly take some getting used to! But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy,bright,and kept at a constant 21°C. It’s important the crew members are comfortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday,crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals,and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station:FoodCome mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions, astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn’t require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerat ors, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!SleepEach crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away!That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great!ExerciseYou might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not muc h gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so theirmuscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.ClothingAstronauts will have to wear special space suits while traveling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from -84 °C in the shadow of the station to 121°C in the hot sun.Personal CleanlinessSimple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo,and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space? With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.21. The text is mainly about ___________A.ways to get used to life in spaceB.fun facts about life in spaceC.temperature changes in spaceD. a typical workday in space22. What do we know about space food from the text?A.Astronauts could eat apples in space in the pastB.Astronauts eat only fruit, vegetables and ice cream now.C.Space food is getting better now than before.D.Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space.23. Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth?A. Because it can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.B. Because it can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.C. Because a stronauts’ lives are more important in space than on Earth.D. Because it can prevent astronauts from causing muscle and bone loss.24. What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”?A. The temperature is quite different in different places in space.B. Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.C. Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.D. Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.BIt's 3 o'clock and you've been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn't. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mom used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger.” When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (荷尔蒙) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates (使活跃) brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger.” People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. These chemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that “dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food craving.” So, the more you deny yourself a fo od that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very special, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.25. The author describes two situations in the first paragraph to _______.A. remind readers of their own special food.B. deepen the understanding of hunger.C. report the discovery of craving study.D. introduce the topic of the whole passage.26. What do we learn about food craving?A. It shows food is linked to feelings.B. It ensures a person survives hunger.C. It means the stomach functions well.D. It proves the brain decides your appetite.27. What's the likely result of dieting?A. The decrease of chemicals.B. The increase of food desire.C. The refusal of fat and sugar.D. The disappearance of appetite.28. In which column of a newspaper can you see this passage?A. EducationB. EntertainmentC. ScienceD. EconomyCNASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly. But it will be more famous for making your next holiday come more quickly.The space agency is working on a new plane, which could solve the problems of supersonic(超音速的) flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad. If successful, the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours. And it would reduce the time spent flying other journeys by a half, since it could be used more broadly. Until now, the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom(声爆), made famous by the original Concorde (协和客机). That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds.It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground—disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath. It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land, a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be commercially used.In view of the problem, the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out inwind tunnels, and now believes that it could be put to commercial use. That plane will fly as high as 55,000 feet—far higher than normal planes—and make a sound of only 60 decibels. That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes, and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant.“As long as we can get endorsement from the general public, the plane will probably be something that's acceptable,” said Peter Coen, project manager for NASA's commercial supersonic research team, in a new Bloomberg r eport. “If we get approved, we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use.”29. Why does the author mention Concorde?A. To suggest the rapid development of planes in the USA.B. To make us know the negative effect of the sonic booms better.C. To introduce how a commercial plane is designed.D. To show us that Concorde finally failed to be commercially used.30. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the new plane.B. The working principle of the new plane.C. The problems of the new plane.D. The potential market of the new plane.31. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 5 mean?A. responseB. commitmentC. investmentD. agreement32. Why does the author write the passage?A. Because he wants to inform people of NASA's new plane.B. Because he wants to prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight.C. Because he wants to explain why speed matters in supersonic flight.D. Because he wants to clarify some misunderstandings about commercial planes.DOf all natural disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, theystill do great damage.According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year, with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people.

高二第二次月考英语试卷时间:100分钟满分:150分第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每题2分,满分30分)ADriving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinki ng about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle(丛林)of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traff ic that evening at the end of a tiring day, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”21. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Break away from the pastB. Touched by the MoonC. The happiness of city lifeD. The Pleasures of Modern Life22. The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.A. there was too much pollution.B. there were too many accidents on the road.C. he didn’t adapt to modern i nventionsD. he failed to see the fullest moon.23. Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.A. show that the writer likes city life very much.B. explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature.C. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life.D. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them.24. The author wrote the passage to __________.A. show the love for the moonlight.B. express the feeling of returning to nature.C. advise modern people to learn to live.D. want to communicate longing for modern life.BWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists (心理学家) and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace.We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are sure of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上司), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员). After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.25.What is the passage mainly about?A.The influence of confidence on one's life.B.The difference of people's confidence..C.The importance of confidence to successD.The judgment on one's confidence.26.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______.A.who dream to be recognized expertsB.who expect to give guidance to othersC.who want to ask the boss for a raiseD.who think their goals are hard to reach27.What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.outgoing B.attractive C.important D.energetic 28.What message does the author want to convey(传递)in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one's disadvantages.B.To make full use of one's advantages.C.To have great confidence in one's abilities.D.To make objective evaluations of one's abilities.CMy son has poliomyelitis (小二麻痹症) and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wifeand I took him to see so many doctors and got different kind of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk likea normal kid.So he was laughed at by his classmates for his walking style and he was very sad. Then he becameafraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like thisforever. You are a freak in other’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’seyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and will love you forever!”My sonspoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped somethingwonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “I want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being laughed at any longer. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to Harvard University. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what theiropinions are, you will never become what you want to be.29. The author’s son was laughed at by his classmates, because _____________.A. he didn’t do well in his lessonsB. he walked in a strange wayC. he was from a poor familyD. he often burst into tears30. After hearing what the mother said, the son ______________.A. quarreled with his mother and left home angrilyB. went to school unwillingly with speaking anythingC. burst out crying complaining about his bad experienceD. didn’t say anything without eating or sleeping for two days31. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A. The boy was brave to face any difficulty after being encouraged by his mother.B. The boy achieve success and was admitted to a famous university.C. The boy finally could walk like a normal child after some treatments.D. The boy owed his success to his parents and was grateful to them32. From the passage we can say that the boy is _________________.A. confident and outgoingB. brave and hard-workingC. wise and easy-goingD. determined and braveDIf your mother wants to tell you something, she uses words. Birds cannot talk as we do. But some birds can make sounds to warn their young ones of danger. They have their own way to make the young birds do certain things.The jackdaw(寒鸦)is a kind of blackbirds that lives in Europe. Jackdaws live together in flocks. Young jackdaws do not know their enemies. When an older jackdaw sees a dog, it makes a loud rattling(格格响的)sound. The younger birds know this sound means an enemy is nearby. The sound warns them to know their enemies.If a young jackdaw is in a dangerous place, a jackdaw parent flies over him from behind. The parent bird flies low o ver the young bird’s back. The parent’s tail feathers(羽毛)move quickly from side to side. It is trying to say,“Follow me.”At the same time, the parent calls out,“Key-aw, key-aw.” The parent means, “Fly home with me.”The young bird then follows the older on e home. Young jackdaws do not have to learn what certain sounds mean. They know the meaning of these sounds form the time they are hatch.33.The jackdaw lives in .A.Europe B.Australia C.America D.Africa34.Parent jackdaw can use their tail feathers to .A.ask their young to follow them B.play a game with the youngC.tell the meal time D.give a warning of a fire35.This story tells much about .A.the danger of jackdaws B.ways in which mother can talk to their childrenC.the way jackdaws warn their young of danger D.how the jackdaw are living第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)What is a big dream ? (36) Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. (37) Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.(38)Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. (39) In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.(40)A.Family and FriendsB.How Big Dreams Die?C.Does a big dream show one’s future ?D.They simply fail until they succeed.E.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.F.Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrongG.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)One morning, Ann found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.

And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency(趋势). We have to make a deliberate(有意的)decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious (怀疑的) or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing too,because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual(相互的) trust, not distrust. We do when we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up;we deliver when we say we'll deliver;and we pay when we say we'11 pay.

Our own worlds opened up to us through the computer or the cell phone or the CD player.Family Night was born when Mom called us for dinner. Jessica and I came and sat down. Dad loaded his plate and started to rise from the table.“Where are you going?” Mom questioned.“To the living room. I have some work,” Dad replied as he hurried away. Mom’s face got tight, but sh e said nothing. About two minutes later, my cell phone buzzed. Jessica kept her earphones on during most of the meal. Mom was clearly upset.Family Night started the next week. Mom established three rules: no phones, no music, and no leaving the table. Everyone would eat together and p lay a game together “like a real family.”All seemed to be going according to Mom’s plan until the first buzz of a cell phone. After dinner, we had been playing the board game for only ten minutes when another cell phone let out a shrill scream. This time the phone belonged to my father.“Work’s calling. I have to answer,” he whispered as he hurried out of the room.Mom sighed, but she forced a smile and encouraged us to continue with the game. We kept playing through every interruption afterwards: the be eping of Jessica’s phone, the buzz of another text message from Darnell, the soothing voice announcing the arrival of an e-mail on Dad’s computer. When the game was over, Mom released us to our rooms.That first Family Night was not a success, but Mom soldiered on. Every Monday evening we silenced our electronics and gathered around the table; and each time, setting aside our technological toys became a little easier. The next two months my father would be taking business trips. We wouldn’t be able to have Family Night every Monday.To my surprise I realized that I would miss those few hours each week when the house was filled with my family’s laughter and conversation. I was also glad to know that when we really wanted to, we c ould silence the electronic buzz and just be a family again.24. What led to the start of Family Night?A. Dad didn’t get along well with others.B. Heavy housework made Mom angry.C. Electronics harmed the family’s life.D. The children were too lazy to help Mom.25. Family Night made the family ________ than before.A. more confidentB. less harmoniousC. less unitedD. closer26. What words can best describe the first Family Night?A. frustrating but satisfying.B. Challenging but exciting.C. Unsuccessful but meaningfulD. tense but interesting.27. It can be inferred that ________.A. Dad seldom took business tripsB. the author enjoyed Family NightC. Family Night would not continueD. the children threw away the cellphonesCOn her first morning in America last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might hang around without adult supervision.A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the developed world. But German parents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks.“We are depriving them of opportu nities to learn how to take co ntrol of their own lives,” writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this increases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depression, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades.I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challenges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more control over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own abilities.28. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighborhood alone, his American friends feel________.A. concernedB. relievedC. terrifiedD. doubtful29. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. German parents are less protective than American parentsB. American kids enjoy playing at homeC. German kids like taking risks more than American kidsD. American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time30. It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ________.A. parents should always be around their children to protect them from risksB. more and more parents suffer from mental problemsC. giving children more freedom is beneficial to their mental developmentD. children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives31. Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?A. Protective.B. Irresponsible.C. CautiousD. Open-minded.DWere you into skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding when you were a kid? We can remember our first (less than successful) go at skateboarding, as well as the first time we managed to stand up on surfboards.It was so much fun that we were hooked on extreme sports. However, not everyone thinks that introducing children to extreme sports is a good idea.Writer Jon Lackman considers whether sports like snowboarding, climbing and skateboarding could be dangerous to the growing bodies of young children. Lackman also looks for advice from medical professions.“Kids aren’t mentally ready for these activities,” says a doctor, Vani Sabesan. “They cannot realize the risks, and their parents can’t always be trusted to stop them.”Sabesan is particularly worried about the influence of extreme sports on TV and the Internet on children. “What we’re seeing is that a lot of kids think they can do what the professional athletes can do.”If someone, who was encouraged to go surfing at the age of five, was presented with a surfboard when he/she was seven, I think these worries are a little overstated(夸大的), if not misplaced.Extreme sports can be dangerous, but there’s as much chance of falling off your bike or your roller skates(四轮滑冰鞋鞋) as off a skateboard or surfboard.My own experience of extreme sp orts leads me to think that I’ll allow my own kids to try them in the same way my parents allowed me.In sports such as surfing and snowboarding, there’s a sense of adventure and courage. It is important to tell young children about it.Did I fall off my surfboard? All the time. Did I get back on? Every time.32.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To tell us what are extreme sports.C. To encourage people to play sports.D. To tell us what kind of sports the author liked.33.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “hooked on”in Paragraph 2?A. worried aboutB. shocked atC. disappointed atD. attracted by34.What do Vani sabesan’s words mean?A. Kids who are mentally ill should not play extreme sports.B. Kids are too young to realize the danger of extreme sports.C. Parents are responsible for kids’ safety in extreme sports.D. Kids should be encouraged to do what professional athletes do.35.What’s the authors’attitude to kids playing extreme sports?A. He/She approves of it.B. He/She is against it.C. He/She is doubtful about it.D. He/She is unconcerned about it.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满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。
