There is one particu-lar story that he always told with great delightIn his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. Dur-ing one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall clumsy lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to Lincoln. Lin-coln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pencil knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.Lincoln's eyes always sparkled when he reached this part of the story. The story always brought smiles to the faces of those who heard it. The tale itself was funny. But even more delightful was the fact that a man as great as Lincoln could still laugh at himself.73. This passage is about ____________.A. a stranger and his knifeB. Lincoln's favourite storyC. meeting strangers on a trainD. Lincoln's favourite pencil knife74. Lincoln was given the pencil knife for ____________.A. his appearanceB. a good laughC. being a lawyerD. being good-humored75. What do you think happened to the knife eventually?A. Lincoln accepted it and kept it.B. Lincoln refused it and the stranger kept it.C. Lincoln accepted it but immediately threw it away.D. Lincoln refused it and the stranger threw it away.DA recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections（反对）, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages then from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact（影响）on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.76. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B. People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.77. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more actively to put science under control.78. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because ________.A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science79. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in people’s attitudes.C. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A – F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.E80.The cost of transporting water is determined largely by how far it has to be carried and how high it has to be lifted. Growing cities and towns may have to go hundreds of kilometers to find the water needed to satisfy their increasing thirst. California cities have long imported water from hundreds of kilometers away. And China is constructing three canals that are 1,156 kilometers, 1,267 kilometers, and 260 kilometers long to transfer water from the Yangtze River to Beijing and other rapidly growing areas in the northern provinces.81.Pumping water out of the ground or over land to higher elevations is energy-intensive. Pumping 480 cubic meters of water a height of 100 meters requires some 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity. At a price of 10¢ per kilowatt-hour, the cost is $20—not including the cost of the pump, the well, and the piping. One hundred meters is not an unusual lift for wells tapping falling supplies of groundwater. In Beijing and other areas in northern China, for instance, lifts of 1,000 meters are sometimes required.82.In most places water is not purchased or exchanged in a market. But formal water markets are developing in the western United States, Australia, and Chile. Where these water markets do exist, they provide examples of how high the scarcity value of the water—that is, the amount that other potential users would be willing to pay for it—can be. Water prices in Australia’s markets peaked at near 75¢ per cubic meter in December 2006, climbing 20-fold in a year in part due to prolonged drought. In the U.S. West, water prices typically range between 3 cents and 10 cents per cubic meter.83.In India, water scarcity has prompted some farmers to profit by selling their water instead of farming. The water they formerly used to irrigate their crops is instead pumped from their wells and trucked to nearby cities. The farmers are harvesting water rather than food and at the same time promoting a rapid drop in underground water tables.84.Another factor affecting how much people pay for water is the amount it is subsidized（补助）. Water subsidies can be very large. For instance, water revenues in the city of Delhi are less than 20 percent of what it spends each year to provide water. On average worldwide, nearly 40 percent of municipal suppliers do not charge enough for water to meet their basic operation and maintenance costs.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I. Translation （20%）1. 你每天做的事会对你的未来产生影响。

高二第一学期期末英语模拟考试英语试题第二局部阅读理解(共两节，总分为40分)第一节 (共15小题;每一小题2分，总分为30分)AIn 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe〞 appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe〞,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during Augustitself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 differentgroups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.21. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning?A. To bring Europe together again.B. To honor heroes of World War 11.C. To introduce young theater groups.D. To attract great artists from Europe.22. Why did some uninvited theater groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A. They owned a public house there.B. They came to take up a challenge.C.

For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs;a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lostabout I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.28．What does the text mainly discuss?A．Pets’ value in medical research. B．How pets help people calm down.C．People's opinions of keeping pets. D．What pets bring to their owners.29．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if．A．he has a pet companion B．he has less stress of workC．he often does mental arithmetic D．he is taken care of by his family30．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks? A．They have lower blood pressure. B．They become more patient.C．They are less nervous. D．They are in higher spirits.31．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that．A．people with dogs did more exerciseB．dogs lost the same weight as people didC．dogs liked exercise much more than people didD．people without dogs found the program unhelpfulDDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all.I was lucky: ] became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listenand speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot .He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up〞.32.What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are unwilling to take advice.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are quick learners of CRM.33.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.A. he saved the plane by speaking upB. he was in charge of a flying taskC. his boss landed the plane too lateD. his boss operated on a patient34.In the last paragraph〞landing gear up〞 probably means ______.A.following flying requirements.B.overreacting to different opinions.C.listening to what fellow doctors sayD.making a mistake that may cost lives35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying SafeB.Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC.The Making of a Good PilotD.A Pilot-Turned Doctor第二节(共5小题;每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

These stargazers have travelled 250 miles to Samburu to witness the Perseid meteor shower (英仙座流星雨). They are not disappointed: Every few minutes,arrows of light shoot across the sky like silent fireworks.The Star Safari is organised by a Kenyan astronomer, Susan Murabana, who has brought a 50 kg, 170 cm-long telescope to allow the group to view Mars and deep-sky objects. But here in Samburu, where light pollution is minimal, the Perseid meteors—visible with the naked eye (裸眼)—steal the show.Every two months, Murabana and her husband load their telescope on to the roof of their 4×4 and set off to rural communities, where they give up to 300 children a chance to view the planets and learn about constellations (星座) and the basics of astrophysics (天体物理学). They primarily targets schools in remote areas because of her mission to give girls an opportunity that she wishes had been available to her.“When I started this work, I didn’t see people who looked like me. I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that.” says Murabana.“There is a common misconception (误解) in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I’d like to teach young girls that astronomy is neither of these things and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana.Murabana’s passion for astronomy began in her early 20s when her uncle invited her to join a similar outreach session organized by the Cosmos Education. “That was a gamechanger. If an outreach group had come to me when I was a young teenager, my attitude towards a career in astronomy would have been positive. I ended up studying sociology and economics, but maybe I would have desired to be an astronomer,” she says.Inspired by the Cosmos Education, Murabana completed an online master’s degree in astronomy with the James Cook University in 2011 and set up her own outreach programme. She regarded Dr. Mae Jemison, the first black woman in ce, as a role model. “I hope that one day, through this work, I will rk a chain reaction that leads to the first African woman in ce.”4. What do the underlined words “steal the show” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Ruin the effort.B. Face the challenge.C. Attract more attention.D. Keep the promise.5. Why does Murabana target girl students in remote areas?A. To help them out of poverty.B. To inspire their love of astronomy.C. To look for assistants for her work.D. To give them an edge over boys in studies.6. What can we learn about Murabana from paragraph 6?A. She enjoyed playing games.B. She longed to be an astronomer.C. She is an initiator (创始人) of Cosmos Education.D. She regretted not taking astronomy earlier.7. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The birth of a Kenyan woman astronomer.B. The prejudice against girls in rural Kenyan.C. The Kenyan astronomer bringing astronomy to the people.D. The Kenyan stargazers watching the Perseid meteors shower.CFrom rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and AedoProject — to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing.“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo — one director of GTB Roma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea is indeed a kind and influential action.8. How does the smart car window work?A. By sorting shaking movements.B. By recording the view with a camera.C. By translating scenery into vibrations.D. By presenting different colors.9. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russo?A. It will have wide application.B. It will be used in schools first.C. It will be tested around the world.D. It will understand different languages.10. What difficulty is Ford facing currently?A. How to explore their future business model.B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.11. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Al-based Window Adds Fun to Road TripsB. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to DriveC. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel ViewsD. Technology Makes Blind People’s Trip EnjoyableDSurvivor bias (偏见，偏差) occurs when you tend to assess successful outcomes and disregard (忽视) failures. This sampling bias paints a more promising or even misleading picture of reality.Survivor bias is a sneaky (鬼鬼祟祟的) problem that tends to slip into analyses unnoticed. For starters, it feels natural to emphasize success, whether it’s entrepreneurs, or survivors of a medical condition. We focus on and share these stories more than the failures.Think about the famous college dropouts who became highly successful, such as Mark Zuckerberg. Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates. These successful examples might make you think a college degree isn’t beneficial. However, that’s survivor bias at work! These famous individuals are at theforefront of media reports. You hear more about them because they are extraordinary. You’re not considering the millions of other college dropouts that aren’t rich and famous. You need to assess their outcomes as well.Survivor bias has even occurred in medical studies about severe diseases. Younger, healthier, and more fit patients tend to survive a disease’s initial diagnosis more frequently. Hence, they are more likely to join medical studies. On the contrary, older, weaker patients are less likely to survive long enough to participate in studies. Consequently, these studies overestimate successful disease outcomes because they are less likely to include those who die shortly after diagnosis.Undeniably, successful cases are usually more visible and easier to contact than unsuccessful cases. However, focusing on the high-performing successes and disregarding other cases introduces survivor bias. After all, you’re leaving out a significant part of the picture as it’s harder to collect data from the less successful members of a population. Incomplete data can affect your decision-making process. Put simply, survivor bias produces an inaccurate sample, causing you to jump to incorrect conclusions.To minimize the impact of survivor bias, you should find ways to draw a representative sample from the population, not just a few of successful samples. That process might call for more expense and effort, but you’ll get better results.12. What writing technique is used in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Making comparisons.B. Giving examples.C. Describing facts.D. Analyzing data.13. What may occur if you have a survivor bias?A. You will take all factors into account before making a final analysis.B. You will overestimate the failure rate so you may quit your project.C. You will only have partial data and reach an incorrect conclusion.D. You will be more likely to survive in unfavorable circumstances.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. People tend to lose sight of the overall statistics.B. People arc unwilling to read unsuccessful stories.C. Doctors don’t have enough expense to collect abundant samples.D. The media should be responsible for kids’ dropping out of school.15. What does the author suggest readers do to avoid survivor bias?A. Leave out the famous historic cases.B. Collect a wide enough range of samples.C. Focus on those most mentioned examples.D. Select some successful and inspiring tales.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WeChat have not only changed how we communicate but also how we form and maintain relationships. With the click of a button or a swipe of a finger, users can share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a vast audience, often in real-time.However, the impact of social media on communication is complex and multifaceted. On one hand, it allows for instant connection and the exchange of information across great distances, breaking down geographical barriers and fostering global communities. It has also democratized the creation and distribution of content, giving individuals a voice that might otherwise go unheard.On the other hand, there are concerns about the quality and depth of communication facilitated by social media. Critics argue that the brevity and immediacy of online interactions can lead to superficial connections and a lack of meaningful dialogue. Moreover, the constant stream of information can overwhelm users, making it difficult to focus and engage deeply with any single piece of content. There is also the issue of privacy and security, as personal data shared on these platforms can be vulnerable to misuse.Despite these challenges, social media continues to evolve, adapting to user needs and feedback. As it does, the role of social media in shaping the way we communicate will undoubtedly continue to grow, influencing both our personal and professional lives.1、According to the passage, what is one positive effect of social media on communication?•A) It makes communication more formal.•B) It reduces the amount of information available.•C) It facilitates instant connection and information sharing.•D) It ensures the privacy and security of personal data.•Answer: C) It facilitates instant connection and information sharing.2、What concern do critics raise regarding the quality of communication on social media?•A) Online interactions are too long and detailed.•B) The immediacy and brevity of messages can result in shallow connections.•C) Social media platforms are not accessible to everyone.•D) Users tend to share too much personal information.•Answer: B) The immediacy and brevity of messages can result in shallow connections.3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a challenge posed by social media?•A) Overwhelming users with a constant stream of information.•B) Difficulty in maintaining personal and professional boundaries.•C) Making it hard for users to engage deeply with content.•D) Vulnerability of personal data to misuse.•Answer: B) Difficulty in maintaining personal and professional boundaries.4、How does the passage suggest social media will develop in the future?•A) It will cease to exist due to privacy concerns.•B) It will adapt to user needs and feedback, continuing to influence communication.•C) It will no longer allow users to share personal information.•D) It will limit the number of people who can access its platforms.•Answer: B) It will adapt to user needs and feedback, continuing to influence communication.This reading comprehension exercise is crafted to test students’ ability to understand and analyze the text, identify key points, and distinguish between different perspectives presented in the passage.第二题Passage:In the heart of the bustling city of London, there’s a place that stands out for its unique blend of history and modernity. The British Museum, located on the north side of Bloomsb ury Square, is one of the world’s most famous museums. It was established in 1753 and opened to the public in 1759. The museum’s collection is vast, with over 8 million items, including ancient sculptures, paintings, and artifacts from all over the world.One of the most famous attractions in the British Museum is the Rosetta Stone. Discovered in 1799, this stone contains the decree of King Ptolemy V, written in three scripts: hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek. The Rosetta Stone was pivotal in deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.The British Museum also houses the Elgin Marbles, a collection of marble sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. These sculptures were removed from Greece by Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, in the early 19th century, and brought to London.

高二上学期英语期末考试模拟试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解There aremany weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of theworld, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popularbut very weird kinds of sports.The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:This indeed a very strange kind of sport thattests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse.This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has todo with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take partin this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses.This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introducedin Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certainway. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitelybring you challenges. The person to win would have to finish the race without losinghis female partner in the course of overcoming the obstacles even for once. Thisrace takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomesyou to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to playas a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sportthat even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub ofDerbyshire.The localstook this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soonhad its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use theirfeet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectatorsget splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer RedneckGames in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatesthubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength anddexterity of your feet.（1）Which sport requires couples to participate?A . The Ultimate T est between Man and Horse.B . Love Locked Race.C . Toe sport.D . The Mud Pit Belly Flop.（2）Which statement shows the popularity of the Toe Sport?A . It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.B . The locals took this sport with great enjoyment.C . It has a World Toe Wrestling Competition.D . Even kids are fond of the sport.（3）What kind of people are likely to take part in the Ultimate Test between Man and Horse?A . People with agility and strength.B . People with companions.C . Marathon runners.D . Horse riders.2. 阅读理解The evidence for harmony may not be obvious insome families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on withtheir parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappyteenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudessurprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has everbeen in the past.” We were surprised by jus t how positive today’s young peopleseen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’reexpected to be rebellious and selfish but actuallythey have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, andthey worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiationand discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take partin the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents ismuch more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children asfriends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listento me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going outclubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” SusanCrome, who is now 21, agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was alot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all myhomework, Icould go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents werea lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life shouldnot be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers’ rebellion is notrooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surpri se that teenagers saythey get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in oursocial history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that ideaof rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened duringthat one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situationthroughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the familybusiness to taking it over.”（1）The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.A . share family responsibilityB . cause trouble in their familiesC . go boating with their familyD . make family decisions（2）Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents______.A . go to clubs more often with their childrenB . are much stricter with their childrenC . care less about their children’s lifeD . give their children more freedom（3）Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?A . Discussion in family.B . Teenage education in family.C . Harmony in family.D . Teenage trouble in family.3. 阅读理解The days of the hunter arealmost over in India. This is partly becausethere is practically nothing leftto kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banningtiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man isnaturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers,who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and wereno doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reasonwhy the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage inoverpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believethat the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasurelies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There arealso those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves andrisk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers,even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I canrespect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need tostrengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-gamehunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One ofthem wrote.“You must properly respectwhat you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of thatparticular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to beattacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by otheranimals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if yourespect thething you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill tofeed your people.”I can understand suchbeliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very differentfrom many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. Theso-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants.Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.（1）There is no more hunting in India now partly because___.A . it is dangerous to hunt thereB . hunting is already out of dateC . hunters want to protect animalsD . there are few animals left to hunt（2）The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.A . to make the countryside safeB . to earn people’s admirationC . to gain power and influenceD . to improve their health（3）What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A . They hunt old animalsB . They mistreat animalsC . They hunt for foodD . They hunt for money（4）What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?A . Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-faceB . Modern hunters should use more advanced weaponsC . Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigersD . Modern hunters should put their safety first二、任务型阅读4. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。

AYour house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate m eals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to mak e dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent mor e when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller o ne ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. healthy dietsC. house buyingD. their body shape2.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. regain their appetitesB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD. digest food better3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.e smaller spoons.C.Play fast music.D.Turn down the lights.4.What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Ways of Serving DinnerB.Is Your Horse Making You Fat?C.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?BArriving in Sydney on his own from India , my husband , Rashid , stayed in a hotel for a short time wh ile looking for a house for me and our children .During the first week of his stay , he went out one day to do some shopping . He came back in the lat e afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone . He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers , including his passport .He reported the case to the police and then sat there , lost and lonely in a strange city , thinking of th e terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to se ttle down in a new one .Late in the evening , the phone rang . It was a stranger . He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name an was asking him a lot of questions . Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can that had been left out on the footpath .My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents . Their y oung daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile o unfamiliar papers . Her parents had careful ly sorted them out , although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents . At l ast they had seen a half written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone nu mber to a friend .That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people . We still remember their kindness and often send a warm with their way .5.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney ?A.Go to see his friendB. Take a vacationC. Join his familyD. Find a house6.The girl’s parents got Rasid’s phone number from ( )A.A Sydney policemanB. A friend of his familyC. A stranger in SydneyD. A letter in his papers7.What does the underlined word “restored ” in the last paragraph mean ?A.Gave backB. DeliveredC. Sent outD. Set out8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text ?A.From India to AustraliaB. Living in a New CountryC. In Search of New FriendsD. Turning Trash to TreasureCEating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart dis ease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you brea the.Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposu re. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Age ncy (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hour s of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certain ly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is im portant to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyl e choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air qualit y but could also become necessary to protect public health.9.The text mainly discusses the relationship between .A. heart problems and exercisingB. heart problems and fatty foodC. heart problems and smokingD. heart problems and air quality10.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. extremely highB. relatively lowC. extremely lowD. relatively high11. What can we learn from the text?A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,C. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.12.. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to .A. persuadeB. informC. describeD. entertainDDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected , When alcohol is consu med, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant （抑制药），damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination （协调），slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving lin k , driving well be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it u p with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is :● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood ;or● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath ;or● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temp orarily banned from driving.The same punishment applices to failing to provide speciments(样本) far breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offebce.Be a responsible,driver,think before you drink. For the safety of y ourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.13.The first paragraph is mainly about_____________.A. the introductions of driving skillsB.the process of alcohol being absorbedC. the effect of drinking on drivingD. the dangaga of drinking to your body14.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A. alcoholB. absorptionC. processD.blood15.

I had some 18 in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would 19 use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or alcohol. He 20 like that type-young and ragged（衣衫褴褛的）. 21 what was I going to spend the money on? Only to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then 22 I had no right to place myself above 23 just because he was busking.I 24 and dropped all the coins into his 25 , and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As 26 as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—a feeling of 27 or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened 28 , I walked off. ―It proved to be a waste of 29 ,‖I thought.On my way home at the end of the 30, I saw the busker again and he was 31 . I watched him pick up the hat and walk 32 a cafe counter. There he poured the 33 contents into a tin collecting 34 an earthquake fund-raising(募捐) event.

AIn ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conve rsations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ‖Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.‖I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smileSeveral months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,‖Oh that bus left five minutes ago.‖ Dreams of head-cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way.A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver. Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ‖ Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.‖ Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.36.In Paragraph 1,the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to ____.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. describe a sceneD. offer an argument37.In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ___.A. friendlyB. warm-heartedC. not considerateD. not helpful38.From ―Dreams of head-cutting!‖(Paragraph3),we learn that the writer___.A. was mad at the sales agentB. was reminded of the cruel pharaohC. wished that the sales agent would have had dreamsD. dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night39. What is the main idea of the text?A. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.B. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.BWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. Y ou can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.Room 1The celebrity（名人）footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities' choice of footwear extremely interesting.Room 2Most of our visitors are amazed and shocked by the collection of ―special purpose‖shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example , there are Chinese shoes made ofSilk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!Room 3As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example , there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that like legs!The footwear LibraryPeople come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up Information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.40. Where would you find a famous singer's shoes?A. Room1.B. Room 2.C. Room3.D. The Footwear Library41. All exhibits in each room .A. share the same themeB. have the same shapeC. are made of the same materialD. belong to the same social class42. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.B. Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.D. Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data.43. The purpose of the text is to get more people to .A. do researchB. design shoesC. visit the museumD. follow celebritiesCMany people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game.―People today prefer living together to puttin g their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship.‖ said social worker Ken Yip. ―And this is what is causing a lot of family problems.‖ When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process writing complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be very serious and therefore does not deserve a reply.There are people who wish to remain anonymous (匿名) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime.Name or no name ? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honour our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say.44. What does the writer mean by saying ―Responsibility is the name of the game‖?A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game.B. Publications must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number.C. Writers should be responsible for their names.D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say.45. The second paragraph suggests that a paper without a signature may___.A. help to end a relationshipB. not get a replyC. be accepted all the sameD. become a family problem46. Some people don’t want their names known because they are___.A. hesitant to make a donationB. unwilling to draw public attentionC. afraid of an accusationD. ready for involvement47. The passage is mainly about ______.A. honor and writersB. identity and signatureC. signature and responsibilityD. anonymity and signatureDLast night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving tuck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract(契约)we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we taut each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination(倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual(相互)trust, not distrust. We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.48. Why did the author get impatient while driving?A. He was lonely on the road.B. He was slowed down by a truck.C. He got tired of driving too long.D. He came across too many traffic lights.49. What was the author's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A Stopping still.B. Driving through it.C. Looking around for other cars.D. Checking out for traffic police.50. The event made the author strongly believe that _______.A. traffic rules may be unnecessaryB. doubting others is human natureC. patience is important to driversD. a society needs mutual trust51. Why was the author proud of himself?A. He kept his promise.B. He held back his anger.C. He followed his inclination.D. He made a right decision.EThere were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemedsurprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.52.

Comfort in traveling by train.B. Pleasure of living in the country.C. Reading gives people delight.D. Smiles brighten people up.第二节（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
