Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain 19 .The weeks ahead weren’t 20 .

From earliest infancy （婴儿）, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often and will come back to again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited(遗传的) abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every typeof suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling(乱涂) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others．By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed —to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.37. The writer wants us to understand that a child_______.A. cannot grow up without toysB. matures（使成熟） through playC. uses toys as friendsD. has to be taught how to play38. According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents ________.A. determine his characterB. will not change after the age of threeC. partly determine the standard he is likely to reachD. to a large extent determine the choice of toys39. The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about______.A. two years oldB. one year oldC. six years oldD. four years old40. The article is about_______.A. the importance of playB. the importance of booksC. the relationship between play and workD. children’s speech development五、任务型阅读（20分）People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health.News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.一、单项选择1-5ABBBD 6-10BCDDC 11-16DDDAAA二、完型填空17-21ABDCA 22-26BCBDB 27-31CADCA 32-36CBDDA三、阅读理解 BCDA五、任务型阅读41. rewards/rewarded 42.

However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they ar e open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building becomes a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.37．What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A．The climate of their areas. B．The energy for their houses.C．The fashions for their houses. D．The building materials for their houses. 38．People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.A．keeping their livestock downstairs B．protecting their livestock from the coldC．sharing their houses only with their cows D．living on the second floor with their livestock39．The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A．heat raises the temperature in the houses B．heat goes in the upward direction C．heat goes up if temperature is raised D．heat increases the temperature of rocks40．From the passage, we can conclude that __________.A．people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB．energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC．almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD．energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology四、任务型阅读How will the way kids learn change over the next 10 years? According to futurist expert Neil Selwyn from the Faculty of Education, Monash University, children’s memory will be able to be improved technologically. In the future, kids could take cognition (认知) drugs like vitamins in the morning to develop the brain and help with memory before exams. Besides the smart drugs, there will be a hard disk that a kid can attach externally (外部地) on his / her head to download information into. Also, the tactile feedback (触觉反馈) technology allows kids to learn by trial and error. For example, in schools, children could dissect(解剖) a digital frog to learn about biology.The development of various educational technological products will have great effects on future schools. In 10 years there will be no textbooks in classes. Digital books will take the place of textbooks. Libraries will still exist to keep old books although few new ones will be purchased. Children will practise a new kind of artificial (人工的) intelligence like people used to learn Latin or Greek with the small, single-board computer. In addition, robots will be used as teachers in future schools, though teachers will remain the primary experts. For example, the realistic-looking Saya robot is used extensively in schools in Japan and South Korea and is an accepted part of their culture.Moveable schools will appear, too. The futuristic, adventurous and flexible school features different parts that can be added on or taken off like Lego blocks (积木) depending on the sc hool’s needs. The entire school can be set up or moved in a matter of weeks and less expensively than building and designing an entire new school. The idea is to make school more inspiring and a better environment for students to think more seriously and be more intelligent and respectful.Personalized technology will also be used. As kids bring in their own tablets(平板电脑) and smart phones to the classroom, they will be able to get information more quickly and it will be more personalized for them as they will be familiar with applications they use at home too. In addition, virtual lessons will be given and they will be especially useful for rural pupils as broadband speeds and digital equipment improves. School hours will not be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. any more, and instead,kids will take lessons with an online tutor one day a week.参考答案：1-15 DACAB ABBBA ACDACB17-36 CDABA CDCDA BBCDC ABABD37-40 BABB41. attached 42. help / aid 43. replaced 44. serve / act / function 45. appearance 46. costs 47. aim 48. use 49. tools 50. online。

2023-2024学年江苏省海安市实验中学高二上学期期中英语试题
2023-2024学年江苏省海安市实验中学高二上学期期中英语试题Brilliant Ways to Deliver Secret MessagesMany effective ways are used now to deliver secret messages. But in the past when the science and technology was not developing, especially during the war, how did people send secret and important messages?ShoelacesIn the 1950s, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency created a book of tips to teach spies ways to communicate in public. One tip: Lace up your sho es. Tied one way, the laces might mean “I have information”: tied another, “Follow me”. The spies could communicate while everyone else probably thought, “That guy can’t tie his shoes correctly!”Tattooed(刺文身) HeadAround 513 B.C., Histiaeus was forced out as the ruler of an ancient city. So he wanted to send a message to his supporters: Rebel against the king who took away his power.Histiaeus called in a slave, shaved his head and tattooed the message onto the man’s skin on the top of head. After the slave’s hair grew back, he travelled to Greece with orders to shave his head again. Message received!Orange JuiceIn 1597, John Gerard was imprisoned in the Tower of London in England. He asked the prison guard to let him send letters written in charcoal(木炭). But then he wrote another message on top using thejuice from an orange-which was only visible when the juice was dry and the page heated. With his invisible ink, he escaped successfully.SongsIn the 1800s, African American slaves couldn’t talk openly about their plans to escape to freedom- so they secretly sang about it.Swing Low, Sweet Chariot might sound like a religious song. But for slaves, the “sweet chariot” was the code for the Underground Railroad, the network of people who helped slaves head to northern states and Canada. The song Wade in the Water warned escaped slaves to get in the water so dogs wouldn’t smell them. With these songs, hundreds of people escaped slavery.1.

But there’s nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a water-logged court or too much heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. Ittold the BBC that its research predicts "cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses sinking into the sea."The threat to sporting events from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, officially approved and licensed by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that "By 2050, it's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year." This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation from ticket sales.Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade over the next decade.Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors as well as fans who should promote a wide low carbon message to help protect sporting fields—before it’s'game over'.4. What is the latest research above mainly concerned with?A．the forbidden sporting events B．the influential climate changeC．the severe environmental pollution D．the rising sea level5. What influence will the extreme weather have on the sports?A．Football fans cannot afford the entrance fee.B．Overheat will largely affect the cricket calendar.C．The golf games will thoroughly disappear due to rising sea level.D．Sports leaders will face bigger challenges to lead their teams to win.6. What does the underlined part “the issue” refer to in the last paragraph?A．the constant increase in sea level B．the fading popularity of sport eventsC．the changing attitude of sponsors. D．the effective reduction of carbonfootprint7. The research is introduced to us mainly to ___________.A．inform the readers of the worsening global climate changeB．require governments’ protection of sporting fieldsC．promote awareness of low carbon life on sportsD．urge financial support from sponsorsAfter a meeting shortly before the winter break, I walked through the halls of floor 3 in Met a Forum, ready to leave the building, when I heard a voice call out my name. It was a friend with whom I shared a connection that is quite rare around this campus — both of us are from Slovakia. Extremely happy to hear my native language after so long, I joined him in the room that he booked to study in.During our conversation, he revealed to me that first-year committees exist within the study association GEWIS and that he belongs to one. Long story short, he took me to the GEWIS room where I started the process of joining one committee. Not only did GEWIS give me a social life during the pandemic but it also presented me with countless exciting activities and opportunities. Unfortunately, most of my international friends cannot relate.During the summer break, I got a text from Fort who is now our chairman. He said that there were plans to start a committee to get more internationals involved in GEWIS. Fort is a local student. I was surprised to see him taking such an initiative (主动行动). I appreciated the sympathy (同情) for the difficulty that internationals deal with, so I joined the first meeting.Fast forward to today we are a committee containing 8 different nationalities. You might see us on campus wearing our iconic light-green and purple T-shirts with the word “GeLOBAL” on it. With our diverse team, there is no shortage of ideas for making GEWIS more international-friendly, and for fun activities.On the 25th of October, we kicked things off with our first official GEWIS activity — around the globe with GeLOBAL. The people who joined took part in a fun yet educational pub quiz involving trivia (冷知识) questions from all around the world. They also got the opportunity to learn useful phrase (such as pick-up lines) from a wide pool of languages. There were snacks and drinks —including foreign ones, of course. There was a welcoming, inclusive energy in the air.8. Why does the author have a rare relationship with his friend?A．They seldom see each other. B．They connect in a special way.C．They come from the same country. D．They don’ know each other very well.9. Which word best described the author’s attitude to Gels?A．Grateful. B．Tolerant. C．Resistant. D．Critical.10. Why did Fort want to start a committee for foreign students?A．To make himself their leader. B．To help them adapt to life there.C．To teach them different languages. D．To involve them in international affairs.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．GEWIS: the platform B．The internationalsC．GEWIS: welcome you D．The campus life abroadUp and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even justsleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not.A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives.The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a d ay. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes.The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“whi ch is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal.An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allo tment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holm es says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time.It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among the m were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.”12. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?A．They allow themselves more leisure time.B．They keep themselves busy on purpose.C．They know how much leisure time is best.D．They experience higher level of satisfaction.13. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?A．Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.B．Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.C．The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition.D．Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.14. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?A．B．C．D．15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A．Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findingsB．individuals are encouraged to control their work schedulesC．people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findingsD．the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfactionWith schools closing and big events cancelled in Europe, your child probably has questions and concerns about COVID-19. That can be tough to talk about, but kids need to feel safe. 16 Here're some tips from a family medicine physician on how to talk to children about COVID-19.First of all, stay calm. 17 If you're showing panic or anxiety, so will they. Instead, confirm their concerns to show that you understand why they might be nervous-and that a little nervousness is OK. It's important for them to know that there's no need to panic. Then talk calmly about what's happening, and tell them people are working very hard to make things better.18 One of the best ways to calm children is to let them believe they can protect not just themselves-but other people as well. Tell them that when they follow the rules for staying healthy, that helps other people stay safe since the child won't be spreading the disease. This is their job-to do what they already know they should be doing to keep themselves and others healthy.Meet children where they are. Very young children might not be asking any questions, and in that case there's no reason to discuss the topic. 19 Be honest and don't scare them or become alarmist. Limiting too much exposure to television reports and social media-especially the news that overstates the case-can help, since children usually have extremely active imagination. 20When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a________author and founder of a youth ________foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. ________now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience.It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, Ga., where I grew up, my community ________two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete and being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt ________: Play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming ________adversity(逆境) was ________my neighborhood’s culture. Reading books not so much.Fortunately, I went to college. That’s where my reading difficulties real ly________. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading ________in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong________. Once, I________apple sauce thinking it was apple slices. I didn’t notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my________to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake.

Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence. In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin?Developing self-confidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track (轨道) toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their childrento try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution (解决办法)?With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become.Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are. Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next. Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready.All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.Title: 41. _____ Self-confidence41 ____________ 42 ____________ 43 ____________ 44 ___________ 45 ____________ 46 ____________ 47 ____________ 48 ____________ 49 ___________ 50 ____________高二周练答案一、CDDBB ADDAA ACCBA二、BDACB ACBBC DACDC BDACA16.

He looked across the hills at the little Irish fishing village. It did not seem like Christmas Eve. Perhaps this was because it still had not snowed. But Colin knew there was another reason—a reason he did not dare whisper even in his heart.He looked toward the sea. There was no ship. And seven days ago his father’s fishing boat hadn’t gone home in time. “I’ll bring you a small sheep dog from the Shetland Isles,” Colin’s father told h im the morning he left. But now it was Christmas Eve. Colin looked toward the lighthouse, high on the hill. For seven days, there had been no light to guide his father’s ship.Colin pushed open the door of his cottage. “We’ll need more peat(泥煤) for the fire, Colin,” said his mother as he entered. “It has burned itself out. And it’s near time to light the Christmas candle. Everybody in Ireland lights a candle on Christmas Eve, even when there’s sadness in the house. It shows that your house and heart are o pen to strangers. I’ve two candles, one for each of us. If you gather some peat, we’ll be ready for supper soon.” Colin nodded and went outside.He led their donkey up the hill. But while he was staring at the lighthouse, Colin had an idea. He came to the lighthouse and knocked on the door.Mr. Duffy, the keeper, opened the door. “What’s up, young man?”“Mr. Duffy,” said Colin, “what did you use to light the lighthouse?”“Well, we used an oil lamp. But we’ve no oil to burn.”“Maybe kerosene (柴油) would do,” suggested Colin.“Well, I suppose,” Mr. Duffy thought. “But you wouldn’t find even a little spare kerosene in this village. Everyone is so poor ...”Colin was gone before Mr. Duffy could finish his sentence.He ran back to the cottage. Then he ran out with four buckets. Colin could see candles glowing in nearly every cottage in the valley. A candle on Christmas Eve meant that a stranger would be welcome and given whatever he asked. He didn’t stop running until he came to the first house.“Could you spare me just a half cup of kerosene from your lamp?” he asked. Colin went to every house where a candle was shining . In one hour he had filled two buckets. Slowlyand painfully he carried them up to the lighthouse door.“What’s this?” Mr. Duffy asked. “This won’t keep the lamp burning for more than an hour or so.”“I’ll get more!” Colin shouted as he started down the hill.After three more long hours, Colin had gathered five more buckets of kerosene. He was on his way with the sixth pail, when the tower suddenly shone with light. The light spread toward the dark heart of the sea like a finger pointing home. Mr. Duffy had lighted the lamp!It was very late when Colin reached home. His mother jumped from her seat near the fire.“Colin, where have you been? You’ve had no supper, nor lighted your candle!”“Oh, mom! I’ve lighted a candle, and it’s a big one!”Colin slept soundly that night, dreaming of candles. Suddenly, a loud shout aroused him from his sleep.“The boat! The boat was just different in the fog, lost.” Colin rushed to the window. His mother was running toward the harbor. It was true! There floated his father’s boat. Colin ran across the yard and raced to the harbor. He felt a wet wind on his face. It was beginning to snow.Oh, it was Christmas morning all right, falling right from heaven and into his heart!77. What Colin dare not whisper even in his heart was that ________.A. there was no way to light the lighthouseB. his father wouldn’t come back home any moreC. his father didn’t retur n home from the sea as expectedD. his family couldn’t afford any Christmas presents78. How did Mr. Duffy react to Colin’s suggestion?A. He thought it was rather wasteful.B. He thought it was quite impractical.C. He thought it was well worth trying.D. He thought it was far too dangerous.79. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A. Colin’s father had his boat turned over in a storm.B. Colin’s efforts on Christmas Eve finally paid off.C. Colin was a wise and determined boy.D. Colin loved his father so much.80. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Colin’s Christmas candleB. A particular Christmas EveC. A light in Colin’s heartD. A father’s fishing experience四、任务型阅读The most wonderful time of the year (the Christmas season) is also the most stressful for lots of people struggling to fit in increased end-of-the-year workloads, holiday parties, shopping, guest hosting, travel, and seeing friends and relatives who y ou’d otherwise avoid. Luckily, the same coping mechanisms that can help relieve stress and find better balance during the year also work for this holiday.Here are four tips to finding work—life balance during this season.1. Know and avoid your stressors(压力源).If cooking for a large group, baking cookies, or Christmas shopping are your key stressors, don’t do them. Lots of grocery stores will help cater your next holiday meal. Bakeries exist for a reason, and gift cards are much appreciated by all. Stop trying to live up to someone else’s expectations of the holidays and stay merry by outsourcing the pain points.2. Get flexible at work.If you normally travel an hour each way at work, see if your boss will let you work from home in this special season to save time, get more done, and reduce your stress. Or ask if you can start work from home in the mornings and come to the office later in the day to avoid peak hours. Leave early and finish your day from the comfort of home, too.3. Make your own list and check it twice.Make a to-do list for yourself, for both work and life, then divide it up into categories like “must do,” “want to do,” and “feel obligated to do.” If you can remove any or all of your required list, the rest of your to-dos will start to look a lot easier.Once you have your lists in order, it’s time to start crossing things off. In between your must-dos tasks, include a want-to-do task to break things up and re-energize yourself. Yes, this holiday is a time to give back to others and be selfless, but there’s still a bit of “self” in selflessness, isn’t there?4. If you start to feel a cold coming on, come to a full and complete stop.The best way to stop a cold from exploding into a weeks-long sickness is to stop it at the start. Unless a task or activity is an absolute necessity, cancel your plans, put away your to-do lists, and settle in for a long winter’s nap. A day of rest and enough sleep is the only thing you NEED right now. Feel bad about declining holiday invitations from your friends and family? You’re doing them a favor. Once people hear that you’re sick, they’ll be glad you stayed away —they don’t want to come down with a cold during the holiday any more than you do!It is certain that you can feel less stressed in this hectic season when you stop expecting so much from yourself, because nobody puts so much expectation on you as you do to yourself. Trying to satisfy clients, co-workers, friends and family can be draining and can finally negatively impact you in many ways. When you simplify things up front, you relieve the stress off of yourself and everyone else in the process. Stop focusing on what you feel like you’re obligated to do, and start focusing on what you want and need to do, the load will get lighter and you will feel a lot merrier under the Christmas tree.71 Four Ways to Find Work-life Balance during the Christmas SeasonIntroduction ◆The Christmas 72 is often a time when work and social activitiescollide with each other.◆Luckily, 73 relief mechanisms can be found to cope with the problem.Four Tips ◆Your stressors like cooking, baking and shopping can be74 because there is enough outsourcing for you to turn to and itis OK if you fail to live up to people’s 75 .◆You can talk to your boss for a 76 schedule.◆You can make a list of what really 77 and let go of the obligatorylist.◆Your friends and family don’t want to 78 a cold at all, so feelfree to cancel all your plans when 79 .Conclusion ◆Start 80 on what you want to do and you can enjoy the season better.小练答案0406单选 DDCAC DBBAD AADAAA完形ADDCC BABCC ABCAA DCBCC阅读CBAA71.Topic / Title / Subject 72. season / holiday 73. stress 74. avoided 75. expectations 76. flexible 77. matters/ counts 78. have/catch 79. necessary 80. focusing。

AJohnny Smith was a good math student at a high school. He loved his computer. He came home early every day, then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was not a good English student, not good at all. He got an F in his English class. One day after school Johnny joined his computer to the computer in his high school office. The school office computer had the grades of all the students: the math grades, the science grades, the grades in arts and music, and the grades in English. He found his English grade. An F! Johnny changed his English grade from an F to A.Johnny' parents looked at his report card. They were very happy."An A in English!" said Johnny's Dad. "You're a very clever boy, Johnny."Johnny is a hacker. Hackers know how to take information from other computers and put new information in using a modem(调制解调器), they join their computers to other computers secretly.

They did not have many friends there at first, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner o r to parties at other people’s houses.Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, right?”“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”“How many people will you invite?” Mr. Harris asked, “Don’t invite too many.”Mr s. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30. Maybe it is impolite.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him. “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”“I did,” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.25. What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?A. It was easy to hold a big party at home.B.

Mr. Harris didn’t want his friends to stay late at the partyD. The guests were very tired at the partyCIn the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous fo r her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So thegovernment spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painting training center for them.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yuan. That’s much higher than average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.29. How was life for the disabled people in the past?A. With the help of the government, they led a comfortable life.B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.C. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.D. They had to learn to paint to earn a living.30. From the passage we can learn that ________.A. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent yearsB. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these yearsC. the disabled had to earn a living by workingD. more and more disabled people will learn to paint31. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing worksB. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintingsC. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sold to foreignersD. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brought abroad32. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A kind of folk art in China.B. Knife-drawing was first developed in Dunhua.C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.D. China helps the disabled find jobs.DPerhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it, do you know? The Internet is a network. It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting. But when you’ve joined to the Internet, there are lots and lots ofthings you can do. You can do with all kinds of information on the World Wide Web (WWW). You can use QQ to chat with your friends, and they will make responses in a few seconds. You can send E-mails to your friends, and they can get them in a few seconds. You can also go shopping by the Internet without going out.There are many different kinds of computers now. They all can be joined to the Internet. Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home, but there are still many others in schools, offices or l arge companies. These computers are owned by people and companies, but no one really owns the Internet itself.There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet. For example, your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time. Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet. You are welcome to use it at your spare time.Thanks to the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front, getting and sending the information you need. It is also possible for you to discuss some projects or assign the work on the Internet instead of at a meeting. In addition, you can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet. But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?33. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Doing with information on the Internet.B. Using the Internet to communicate with friends.C. Things we can do by the Internet.D. Going shopping by the Internet.34. Which may be the most possible place for people to work in the future?A. In the office.B. At home.C. At school.D. In the company.35. What does the writer try to tell us with the last two sentences?A. English is important in using the Internet.B. The Internet is more and more popular.C. Most of the information is in English.D. Every computer must have the Internet.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。
