He is only 30 years old. But on Thursday, Serena Williams earned a spot in the Australian Open finals. She will face her older sister, Venus, who won her semifinal (半决赛) match a day earlier. It is the first time that the Williams sisters will play in a Grand Slam final since 2009. Venus is 36. Serena is 35. One of them will win the championship (冠军) at last.One older champion will play in the men’s final, too. Roger Federer qua lified for the final by defeating Stan Wawrinka. Federer, like Serena Williams, is 35 years old It will be one of the sport’s oldest finals in a long time.Ken Rosewall of Australia is the oldest winner of a Grand Slam. He was 37 when he won the Australian Open in 1972.Serena Williams is already the oldest winner of a women’s Grand Slam match. She won Wimbledon last year at the age of 34.Many people are impressed that three of the finalists are 35 or older. All of the players have recently had injuries (受伤). Federer missed six months due to back and knee injuries.He told the crowd that he did not think he would be able to make it back to a Grand Slam final.The Williams sisters have had difficulties, too. Earlier this month, Venus wona match in New Zealand but withdrew (退出) from the final after hurting her arm. She also learned in 2011 she had the immune system disorder. The disorder kept her from practicing and staying in good physical condition for a number of years.Serena took time off to recover from knee and shoulder injuries after losing in the semifinals of the U.

Her knee and shoulder injuries made her lose to her sister.DHave you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. Howevertheir way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.12. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wrong.D. Difficult13. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?A. It was safer to keep on the leftB. It was easier to carry goods.C. It was easier for them to fightD. It was necessary to control the horse.14. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?A. Their sitting position.B. The road conditions.C. The number of horses.D. The products in the wagons.15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. UK Drivers Still Go On The LeftB. Why People Like Sitting On The Left SideC. The History Of Transportation MeansD. The Reasons For Different Driving Sides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。

But I can only remember a book she gave me---one book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar, eventhough I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother. The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, but feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me.Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I’ve lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift and don't let anything become your barrier. What Adele originally wanted to do is to give book-giving special meaning, but she increased the possibility of the owner to be a disappointment.4. What is the similar hobby of the author and his grandmother?A. Travelling.B. Reading.C. Writing.D. Buying books.5. Why was the author unwilling to read Hans Brinker?A. The book was boring.B. He didn’t like Holland.C. The book had many stories.D. He hadn't enough time to read it.6. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. The author felt stressed facing the book.B. The author began to dislike reading books.C. The author began to hope for a change.D. The author felt sorry for his grandmother.7. What does the underlined part "the owner" in the last paragraph refer to?A. The writer of Hans Brinker.B. The grandmother.C. The author.D. The publisher of Hans Brinker.CNew Zealand is an island country in the southwestern of Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main lands---the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Maui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu, and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometers east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1, 000 kilometers south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. The country's varied topography (地形) and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to volcanic eruptions. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington, while the city that has the largest population is Auckland.Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand somewhere between 1250 and 1300 AD, and developed a unique Maori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown (王室) and Maori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand’s population of 4. 5 million is of European descent(血统), and the indigenous(土著的) Maori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly originated from Maori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Maori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant(主要的).New Zealand is a developed country with a market economy that mainly consists of the exports of dairy products, meat and wine, along with tourism. New Zealand is a high-income economy and ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as health, education, economic freedom and quality of life.8. What does the underlined word "comprises" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Loses.B. Conquers.C. Explores.D. Includes.9. What can be inferred from the text?A. New Zealand was the last land to be settled by humans.B. The indigenous Maori takes up the largest population in New Zealand.C. The formation of the Southern Alps has something to do with volcanic eruptions.D. New Z ealand’s culture is main ly originated from Maori and early Dutch settlers.10. Who made great contributions to Maori culture according to the text?A. Polynesians.B. Dutch.C. British Crown.D. Tonga.11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The developing aims of New Zealand.B. The economic situation of New Zealand.C. The high ranks that New Zealand government has got.D. The achievements that New Zealand government has got.DDogs can tell how other dogs are feeling from the way their tails are wagging(摇摆),according to researchers who monitored the animals heart rate as they watched dogs movies. The Italian team found that dogs had higher heart rates and became more anxious when they saw others wag their tails more to the left, but not when they wagged more to the right, or failed to wag at all.The curious form of communication is probably not intentional, or consciously understood but is instead an automatic behavior that arises from the structure of the brain, said Giorgio. "It's not something they clearly and exactly understand," Giorgio told The Guardian. "It's just something that happens to them."Giorgio traces the effect back to the way the two halves of the brain process different experiences. In a previous study, his team showed that when a dog had a positive experience, activity rose in the left side of the brain, bringing about more tail wagging to the right. Or else more tail wagging to the left. The effect is barely visible to the human eye because dogs tend to wag their tails too fast, but it can be seen with slow motion video, or in some larger types.In the latest study, the researchers wanted to find out whether the direction of tail wagging had any effect on other dogs. To get an answer, they fitted dogs with vests that recorded their heart rates, and played them movies of other dogs wagging their tails one way and then the other. To ensure the dogs reacted only to tail wagging, and not appearance, they repeated the experiment with dogs that appeared only as shadows."When dogs saw other dogs wagging their tails to the right, there was quite a relaxed reaction and no evidence of an increased heart rate. But when the wagging was to the left we saw an increase in heart rate and a series of behaviors typically associated with stress, anxiety and being more watchful, "Giorgio said. The anxious animals held their ears up, breathed, and kept their eyes wide open. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology.12. What does the text focus on?A. Animal psychology.B. Animal welfare.C. Animal tests.D. Animal protection.13. What leads to dogs’ wagging tail to the left or right according to Giorgio?A. Their selective preference.B. Their conscious response.C. Their increasing heart rate.D. Their automatic behavior.14. At what time do dogs have more tail wagging to the right?A. When they run quickly.B. When they feel hungry.C. When they feel stressed.D. When they play with their owners.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. How dogs communicate with each other.B. Some reasons why dogs feel seriously anxious.C. Dogs' communicating ways of tail wagging.D. Dogs' different behaviors in different situations.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年度下学期省六校协作体高一期中考试英语试题考试时间：100分钟分数：120分折合成150分第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AHere are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades . Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not d emand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on grades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.Magdalena Smith,President Drama ClubLet’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper,Member,21.Simon Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who .A．insists grades should become optional in the near futureB．is concerned about impro ving students’ creativityC．supports using students’ interests to measure their abilitiesD．believes in the advantages of assessment based on grades22．Magdalena Smith thinks it is important for .A. educators to assess the students by gradesB. students to take part in music, drama, and sportsC. students to compete for better gradesD. educators to pay more attention to grades23．According to the letters, which of the following is true about Village High School? ______A. Grades are still in use at present..B. Grades hold back students’ creativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary competition.D. Grades are effective in every way24．What are the two letters mainly about? ________A. The reasons why grades shouldn’t be used to assess students.B. The importance of art and music in students’ life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students’ success.D. The role that grades should play in assessing students.BOn the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady staring at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I’m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!”and she gave me a giant hug. “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age？” I asked.She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel!”I grinned(露齿而笑)，“I mean, seriously, why?”I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to take on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus symbol and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention she received from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is only one secret to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,”she added.“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity for change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”She concluded her speech by courageously singing“The Song of Rose”. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.25. What can we know about Rose from the passage?A. serious and hard-workingB. honest and optimisticC. humorous and popularD. crazy and brave26. what motivated Rose to go to college at the age of 87?A. That she wanted to realize her dream.B. That she wanted to meet a rich husband.C. That she loved to stay with the young.D. That she planned to grow up27. According to her speech, ____.A. whenever you have a dream, you’ll succeedB. all people don’t grow up while growing olderC. Rose usually regretted having done somethingD. time isn’t important especially for the elderly people.28. What is the purpose of the passage ?A. to encourage us to live with our dreamB. to tell us it is never too late to learnC. to advise us to be happy every dayD. to recommend us to find secrets of staying youngCWhen I came to China a little over two years ago, at the height of Shanghai’s summer season, I was spending summer in ways I never had before —indoors, absolutely 100% indoors. I had, of course, discovered something called Ele.me as well as Taobao and AliPay. It was like a dream come true, and I spent a week like that before going outside.Once outside, I realized how simple life could be —with some of my indoor habits. Namely, I didn’t need cash. Gone was the trouble of having to find and carry change. All it took was a quick scan of a QR code and money-switched hands. However, as I grew more and more comfortable with this lifestyle, I came to realize how much more isolated I was from my fellow human beings. Instead of the few extra seconds of human interaction you get when a cashier counts out your change, you get a machine that beeps and tells you your transaction(交易) has gone through.Furthermore, I realized that an entire generation was left behind. Most people my grandparents’age don’t know how to use a smartphone, let alone mobile payment. How upset they must feel when they are turned away from a shop that only accepts Alipay and WeChat Pay!Despite these weaknesses, mobile payment has indeed made our lives vastly easier. The youth are accepting it. However, with money easily moving around with the touch of a button, we are slowly gaining a wrong impression of its value. One can often hear stories of how a child might rack up (累积) huge bills on their parents’credit cards by buying items while playing a game on an iPad or iPhone. We may feel the same way when walking past a shop on the way home —a few yuan spent there can’t hurt, right? Compare that feeling to handing over paper money, and you might realize how much easier it is to let go of money when you aren’t actually holding it.Mobile payment is an important aspect of our generation. However, we must acknowledge the problems that come with it. In the end, we must come to define it rather than let it define us.29.According to the author, in summer, life outside can be much simpler with the help of ____.A. air-conditioningB. Ele.me and TaobaoC. mobile paymentD. QR codes30.According to the author, what problems may come with mobile payment?① A lack of human interaction.②Increasing risks of theft.③ A wider generation gap.④Wrong impressions of money value.A. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The author had never tried mobile payment before moving to China.B. Mobile payment requires a scan of a QR code.C. In some shops in China, customers can now pay using only mobile payment.D. The author thinks we should stop mobile payment from developing further.DAlways Remember Your “Initial（最初的）Wishes”The primary message coming out of the recently completed 19th National Congress of the CPC(中国共产党十九大) in Beijing consists of two parts. The first is that the party is entering a “new age” and the second is the need to focus on the “initial wishes” that established the CPC’s beginning. In other words, although life today is much more different than that in the past, people should not forget the “goals” of the past.The pioneers who founded the CPC almost one hundred years ago were living in difficult and dangerous times. But all of them were committed to making life better for their countrymen. Their goals were to make China more egalitarian (人人平等的), peaceful and prosperous. Most of those goals have been achieved, but according to President Xi, there is still work to be done and people should be guided by the “initial wishes” of the founders.T he idea of “initial wishes” can also be useful in your personal life. Yo ung people are always encouraged to set goals for the future. But life is not simple; it’s full of complexities, struggle s and frustrations, and it may leave you wondering what your “initial wishes” are and why they are so important.Take for example a young person who wants to become a doctor and help cure sick people. After many years of study and several years of practice, he finds that he is working long hours for little money. Worse still, many patients don’t appreciate his efforts; they only critic ize and complain. We have even seen incidents of doctors being physically attacked by their patients. It’s easy then for that young doctor to become pessimistic and lose his goal.But the ones who are persistent are the ones who change the world and they are the ones who understand that true happiness in life comes from being selfless, not selfish. That young doctor, for example, will remain true to his goal by remembering the “initial wishes” of why he became a doctor — to help people.I hope that y ou, too, can hold firm to your “initial wishes” — no matter where you go and what you do.32.Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase in the paragraph two?A. were addicted toB. were devoted toC. were accustomed toD. were used to33.According to the article, what are the CPC’s “initial wishes”?A. To help China enter a new era.B. To help its countrymen achieve their goals.C. To make China more egalitarian, peaceful and prosperous.D. To end the difficult and dangerous times its founders were living in.34. According to the author, it could be difficult for one to accomplish his “initial wishes” because ____.A. some “initial wishes” are unrealisticB. life is full of difficulties and strugglesC. there are too many pessimistic peopleD. many people do things just to help themselves35.What does the author mainly want to prove by mentioning the young doctor in the article?A. The bitter life of young doctors.B. The real sources of happiness in life.C. The difficulties of holding firm to one’s “initial wishes.”D. The importance of “initial wishes.”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。

AIt has long been thought that elephants rely on their large ears and bathing in rivers to stay cool in hot climates. New research，however，has showed that the world's largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body temperatures.Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调节)in elephants. Generally，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants，with their heavy-weight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees—one degree less than humans'.21. What can we know about the elephants?A. They have thick fur to protect them.B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.D. They are afraid of water and rivers.22. The function of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________.A. control their body temperatureB. help hold more heatC. drive away insectsD. keep sensitive hearing23. The new research________.A. studied six Asian elephantsB. studied elephants in a zoo and in the wildC. aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantagesD. proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally trueBMySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenagers，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace，”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace，”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Childrenhas received at least 288 MySpace - related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your per sonal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ________.A. brings about the generation gapB. is very careful about people’s privacyC. encourages you to list your personal informationD. lists the telephone numbers of your friends25．Why are some parents against MySpace?A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D. Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.26．What can we infer from “Every time w e hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”？A. MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Internet SafetyB. MySpaceC. Generation GapD. The Digital EraCKids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.28. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs?A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists.B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose.C. Older kids often link science with boring things.D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy.29.By building the small golf course，the writer's boys learnt about all of the following thingsEXCEPT________.A. speedB. momentumC. biologyD. agriculture30.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course，they might have _______.A. asked her some related scientific conceptsB. made a better golf course than the one they had builtC. asked their friends to help them with the workD. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions31. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?A．Architecture. B. Education. C．Health. D. Sports.DNot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while Group C，the control group，did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure，C-reactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said s tudy leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still，more study is needed，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The researchresult will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study，________.A. C-reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group CB. the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsC. the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedD. C-reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L34. The underl ined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be ______.A. something bad to our healthB. something good to our healthC. a kind of wonderful medicineD. a kind of dangerous disease35. In what way does laughter benefit people’s health?A. Blood is made thick by laughter.B. Laughter makes blood vessels thin.C. Laughter increases blood pressure.D. Laughter makes blood flow fast.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Generally，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants，with their heavy-weight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees—one degree less than humans'.21. What can we know about the elephants?A. They have thick fur to protect them.B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.D. They are afraid of water and rivers.22. The function of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________.A. control their body temperatureB. help hold more heatC. drive away insectsD. keep sensitive hearing23. The new research________.A. studied six Asian elephantsB. studied elephants in a zoo and in the wildC. aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantagesD. proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally trueBMySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenagers，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace，”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace，”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Childrenhas received at least 288 MySpace - related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your per sonal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ________.A. brings about the generation gapB. is very careful about people’s privacyC. encourages you to list your personal informationD. lists the telephone numbers of your friends25．Why are some parents against MySpace?A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D. Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.26．What can we infer from “Every time w e hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”？A. MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Internet SafetyB. MySpaceC. Generation GapD. The Digital EraCKids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.28. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs?A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists.B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose.C. Older kids often link science with boring things.D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy.29.By building the small golf course，the writer's boys learnt about all of the following thingsEXCEPT________.A. speedB. momentumC. biologyD. agriculture30.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course，they might have _______.A. asked her some related scientific conceptsB. made a better golf course than the one they had builtC. asked their friends to help them with the workD. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions31. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?A．Architecture. B. Education. C．Health. D. Sports.DNot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while Group C，the control group，did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure，C-reactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said s tudy leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still，more study is needed，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The researchresult will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study，________.A. C-reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group CB. the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsC. the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedD. C-reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L34. The underl ined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be ______.A. something bad to our healthB. something good to our healthC. a kind of wonderful medicineD. a kind of dangerous disease35. In what way does laughter benefit people’s health?A. Blood is made thick by laughter.B. Laughter makes blood vessels thin.C. Laughter increases blood pressure.D. Laughter makes blood flow fast.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Millions of tourists visit theclock tower each year.Every hour on the hour,the famous bells ring.But startingin 2017, it will be under major repairs,and for some of that time,its bells won’ t ring. Work like this hasn’ t been done on it in more than 30 years.“ In order to keep the clock ticking(发出滴答声 ),we must take time to examine and repair it, ” says Steve Jaggs,who oversees Big Ben. “ This project will enable us to give one of Britain’ s most famous landmarks the care it badly needs.”Big Ben actually is the name of the main bell inside the clock.But the entire clock tower has come to be known by that name. People have been setting their watchesto Big Ben since the bell was built in 1859. It was an addition to the Palace ofWestminster,which was rebuilt after a big fire in 1834. The last major repair ofthe tower took place from 1983 to 1985.Big Ben is again showing its age.Many of the parts in the clock need repairs. The tower itself has problems, too. The repairs will also include updating(更新 ) the tower so that it meets current(目前的 ) fire-safety requirement and installing(安装 ) an elevator. In total, the project will cost about $42 million.The project will take about three years, during which there will be no tours ofthe tower. The clock will be stopped while its hands and other parts are beingfixed,and it’ ll be silent for three months during the repair.“ Big Ben is a symbol of the UK,” says Tom Brake, an office worker.“ We have a responsibility to make sure that it ’ s in a good condition for future generations( 几代人 ) to enjoy, just as our ancestors(先人) protect their masterpiece well for us to enjoy.”28.What has happened to Big Ben since it was completed?A.

For three years.31.What does Tom Brake want to say about Big Ben in the last paragraph?A. Its immediate repair is a must.B. Its repair will take generations to complete.C. We should learn from the ancestors to repair it.D. We should repair it instead of the future generations.DIn our daily life, it is necessary to make small talk in some situations. Ithelps to fill time between people when it is very quiet.You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning,but it is sometimes thought to be not polite to say nothing.People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meetsomeone you don ’ t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with. For example,waiters and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers(顾客 ). If you happen to be outside when the postman comes to your door,you might make small talk with him, too.Most often,small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example,you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctor’ s waiting room, or when they are waitingin a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in lunch rooms,especially if there is a line-up.Mingling is often required(要求 )among people who don’ t know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are expected towalk around and talk with others.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see ormeet someone on a given day. For example,if you see a neighbor in the waiting room of the airport you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather.However,the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing.If there is very little noise,it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation.If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start aconversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in ameeting when there is nothing important going on. However, it is important torecognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.32.When does small talk most probably happen?A. When reading on a bus.B. When having a meeting.C. When meeting a postman who comes to your door.D. When having a family meal.33. The underlined word “ Mingling ” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “ ________” .A. HonestyB. PolitenessC. UnderstandingD. Conversation34. The third paragraph mainly talks about_________.A. how to make small talkB. where small talk happensC. when to make small talkD. why people make small talk35. The last paragraph is organized mainly by________.A. telling storiesB. giving explanationsC. providing examplesD. discussing questions第二节（共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

2016-2017学年度上学期高三12月联考试题英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A. B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AJoey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Sp ielberg’s new film War Horse.It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine ) after Albert’s drunk father Ted (Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction (拍卖会).Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.While that film shocked us with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not onlyAlbert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece—there will be tears.Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.21. In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film War Horse _________ .A. is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killingB. received the title of Tony Awards Winning PlayC. tells the story happening in the Second World WarD. covers a lot of characters22. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg.B. Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives.C. Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it.D. Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe.23. According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?]A. confusingB. astonishingC. inspiringD. disappointing24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Joey—a heroic race horseB. Albert and JoeyC. Spielberg’s JoeyD. Saving Private JoeyBLast July, we asked what you dream of doing as an adult. Thanks for your great responses! We wish we had room to print them all. Here are just a few.Work and playMy ideal job is being a construction worker, but only on an amusement park.James Martian, Age 9 AlaskaRoyal Fashion DesignerIn the future, I want to sew dresses for a queen. I could make whatever design I wanted. Her breakfast dress would be blue and long. Her lunch dress is purple and medium. Her dinner dress is red and short. They would all have sparkles. I think they would be pretty. I like my dream job.Jenna Suchyta, Age 6 WashingtonA “Police Law Fireman”When I grow up, I want to be a policeman or a fireman or a lawyer because they help people. Maybe I will combine all three and become a “Police Law Fireman”. I can work as a policeman in the morning. I can do law things in the afternoon. I can do fireman things in the evening. But for now, I want to be a boxer to build up my muscles. I will need my strength!Avi Samuels, Age 7 Illinois Playing in the BandMy dream job is to become a professional guitarist and singer for my future five-member rock band. I practice the guitar, and I have written hundreds of songs! The reason why I want to be a guitarist and singer is that I am very interested in music itself, so I want to create some of my own.Jake Francis, Age 12 Ohio25. What do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Your dream job.B. Your dream.C. Your future job.D. Your great chance.26. Who has done something for his or her future?A. James MartianB. Avi SamuelsC. Jake FrancisD. Jenna Suchyta27. Where can you find this passage?A. In a fashion magazine.B. In a children’s magazine.C. In an entertainment newspaper.D. On a website.CJust saw the superhero movie, Kick-Ass, and it raised an interesting question: just because we are not superhuman, can we lead a super-heroic life? I believe wecan do it in some easy steps!Activate(刺激) our super powers.Superheroes are all good at different things. Some are really fast, some can see things others can’t, and some can move things with their mind. Also we all have special talents and passions. We just have to know what they are and develop them.Try this. List several things you’re especially good at— we’ll say these are your core super powers. Next, write down what makes each of your core super powers and look for chances to use them and improve them.Get a sidekick or two.Superheroes are out there all day, fighting the good fight. And who’s there to help? Every superhero has teamed up with someone else to defeat some enemies they couldn’t deal with alone.We need a support team: one or more who can be trusted and will help us when necessary. Our team members should bring different, constructive perspectives(观点) and all kinds of super powers. But we must choose wisely.Be brave and bold.Does it take more courage to venture(冒险) down a dark road or to face a life of no ventures at all? Both can be pretty scary. But we should be brave and bold just as some successful person said: “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition(直觉). ”Live the code.Superheroes die to protect others. They don’t cheat or lie or steal. They’re good role models, and they do the right things even when nobody is watching.Though nobody’s perfect, yet we should learn from superheroes and struggle not to disobey the superhero code. Turn a friend down who trusts me? Of course I won’t.28. One of the similarities between superheroes and human beings is that both of them________.A . are very clever and passionateB . have their strong pointsC . try to remove their own weak pointsD. know how to be clever and bold29. The underlined word “siedkick” in the passage refers to a person who________.A．tries to watch you all the timeB．is much cleverer than youC．has super powers to support youD．is ready to help you anytime30. What is the superhero code?A．Don’t be a bad person.B．Be willing to lose everything for others.C．Try to be a perfect person.D．Satisfy the needs of the friend you trust.31. What is the passage mostly about?A．How we can become a superhero.B．What a superhero should be like.C．How we can live like a superhero.D．Why we should learn from a superhero.DI have two kids, a boy and a girl. I do n’t worry about my girl; I’m sure she’ll be well trained in mixed martial arts. I worry about my son. I’m pretty sure he’s going to be feminine (女性化的). Sorry to say that, but let’s face it. No dad wants his son to go feminine.At the rate we’re moving in a couple of years you won’t be able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Sound extreme? Think about this. In every movie where advanced time-traveling beings come to our planet, there’s one constant: You can’t tell the male aliens from the female aliens!But that’s the future. Kids today are soft and fat. People ask why. Is it junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for thirty years. None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese. We’re all scratching our heads trying to figure out whatwe’ve introduced to society to ruin our kids. But it’s not anything we’ve added that has ruined our kids. It’s stuff we’ve gotten rid of.Take the gym rope for example. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldn’t make it to the top. But that wasn’t the point; the point was you had to try while some middle-aged guy who couldn’t make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didn’t want to shame the boy, so we took it down.Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life. But they’re everywhere. You just can’t see them. They’re in every goal unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you weren’t supposed to make it to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversize belly of every kid.32．What is the example of aliens used to show?A．Girls are growing like boys.B．Boys are going feminine.C．There are really time-traveling beings.D．Alien movies are popular with children.33．What causes kids today to be soft and fat?A．Junkfood.B．Video games.C．Stuff introduced to society. D．Things removed from society.34．How does the author find teenagers today?A．They have too much dignity. B．They are overprotected.C．They are lessindependent. D．They are thought too highly of.35．What does the rope probably symbolize?A．Goals. B．Expectations.C．Competition. D．Assistance.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。

Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world's weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a "disturbing global public health problem."Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people.Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed(加工的) foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in fivecountries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice cream and hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.12.
