The potato, of course．Perhaps you know them as"taters", "spuds", or"Id ahoes"．But it's no matter, a potato by any other name is still a potato-the world's most widely grown vegetable．As a matter of fact, if you are a normal potato eat er, you will eat at least a hundred pounds of them each year．That's only a tiny part of the total grown every year, however．Worldwide, the potato harv est （收获） every year is over six billion bags, with each bag having a hundred pounds of spuds, so me of them as large as four pounds each．In the United States, farmers fill about four hundre d million bags a year．That may seem like a lot of taters, but it leaves us in third place amon g world potato growers．Farmers in Poland （波兰） dig up just over 800million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1. 5billion bags．People eat potatoes in many ways-baked （烘烤）, mashed （捣成糊状）, and roasted, to name just three．However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries．One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1billion worth of fries each year．No wonder, then, that th e company pays close attention to the way its fries are prepared．Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at this popular restaurant, it must pass many separate tests．Fail any one and the French fry is thrown away．To start with, only a certai n kind of Idaho potato is used to make fries．They have less water than other kinds．Once c ut into"shoestring"shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in secret oils, sprayed （喷洒） with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, and then quickly frozen for s hipment to each restaurant．Before shipping, though, every shoestring is measured （测量）．Forty percent of the fries must be between two and three inches long．Another forty p ercent has to be over three inches．What about the twenty percent that is left? Well, a few sh ort fries in a bag are okay, it seems．So, now that you realize the huge size and value of the potato crop, you can understand wh y most people agree that this part of the food industry is no"small potatoes．"（1）According to the passage，which country has the largest harvest of potatoes？________ A America． B Russia． C Poland． D France．（2）What can be known about Americans and French fries？________A Americans like to eat French fries at home．B Americans care about French fries'size and shape．C Americans eat French fries less than mashed potatoes．D Americans prefer potatoes to be cooked in this way．（3）What is the main idea of this passage？________A Potatoes are known by many names．B The way of making French fries is interesting ．C The potato is an important vegetable in America．D The various names of pota toes have a long history．28. What does the word"patent （专利权）"mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the co mmonplace things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men．If it ha d not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inve ntions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings．If there were no patent protection there would be little encouragement to invent, for once t he secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor's risks and expenses（花费） might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit （益处） of his efforts．The most basic values in the U．S．patent system came from England．During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusiv e privileges （独家特权） to people who had invented new processes （程序） or tools-a step that did much to encourage creativity．Later, an important value was added: society h ad everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, becaus e a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before．George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four month s later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an i mproved method in soap making．In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organiza tion of over 2, 500people who every week deal with more than 1, 600patent applications, an d of those, give more than 1, 000．A patent may be given for any new and useful process, ma chine, or planning method．The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexp ected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two imp ortant patented inventions．Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition．Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time．T hey have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and en abled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world．（1）From the passage，what can we learn about inventors？________A They make a lot of money．B They fight against copiers．C They have a lot of ex perience．D They put effort into inventions．（2）Why were inventors given exclusive privileges？________A Because their inventions made leaders happy．B Because their creativity is very imp ortant．C Because their inventions could enlarge society．D Because they were the smartest people in society．（3）According to the passage，the patent system is good for America because________．A it helps more workers get jobs．B it provides a first-class service． C it produces less expensive things． D it helps inventors find market s．（4）What is the meaning of"outstrip"in the last paragraph？________A be better than．B catch up with．C make better use of．D cost more than．七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有一项为多余选项．（共8分，每小题8分）29. When a man was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped，not understanding how these huge animals could be held by only a small rope tied to their fr ont leg．No chains （链子），no cages （笼子）．（60）________．But for some reason，they did not．He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get a way．"Well，"the trainer said，"when they are very young and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that age，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they have to come to believe they cannot break away．（61）________．So they never try to break free．"The man couldn't believe what he was seeing．These animals could at any time break free fr om their ropes．（62）________．They believed they couldn't．Many of us go through life like the elephants．We sometimes believe that we cannot do som ething，simply because we failed at it once before．（63）________．We should never give up the struggle （抗争） in life．A．Failure is part of learningB．Success is not what we wantC．They believe the rope can still hold themD．But they were stuck right where they wereE．It was clear that the elephants could break away from their ropes．八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（共10分，每小题10分）30. The idea of teamwork is very important to the success of any team．All coaches talk about working as one unit，as a team that plays as one．Teamwork and unselfishness （无私） create the strong center of a great team； without them a team cannot play well against other teams．You can have a group of superstars，but if they do not work well as one unit，they are not going to be successful．The team working as one unit is going to be successful．Here are some things to consider when you are looking at your team：◆ Does your team have agreed-upon goals they created as a team？◆ Do the players openly encourage and support one another？◆ Do they have open communication with one another，as well as the coaches？◆ Does each player know what their role on the team is？◆ Is there shared respect among the players and coaches？◆ Do players use words such as"we"when referring to the team？◆ Have they created a positive （乐观的） team image for themselves？◆ Does the team as a whole want to improve their performance？◆ Does each member consider themselves as a"team player"？A winning team has players that share common goals and a common dream．Teams come to gether through shared attitudes about a particular sport．They may come together for a nu mber of different reasons，but their goals are the same-to achieve top performance and experience success．The ends may be different but the mea ns by which one gets there is the same-teamwork．Teamwork is something that must be on the top of the list．Every player needs to understan d how important it is for them to work smoothly together if they want to be successful．Eac h player must be true to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly．When challenges （挑战） come，the team needs to deal with them in a positive manner．A sense of teamwork will play an im portant part in this．Just remember T．E．A．M．-Together Everyone Achieves More!64．What can create the strong center of a great team？________65．Which is more important to the success of a team，teamwork or superstars？________ 66．How many things are considered when you are looking at your team？________ 67．How does a team come together according to Paragraph 3？________68．What is the text mainly about？________．九、完成句子（共10分，每小题2分）根据中文意思完成句子．31. 一起吃晚餐庆祝父亲节怎么样？________ having dinner together to celebrate"Father's Day"？32. 他们是好朋友，相处得很融洽．They are good friends and they________ each other．33. 我们需要一条新的规定，阻止学生们浪费粮食．We need a new rule to________ food．34. 政府更多关注药品安全是非常必要的．________ the government________ the drug safety．35. 这位严格的老师经常警告她的学生要么按时上交作业，要么不能通过这门课．The strict teacher often warns her students that________．十、文段表达（15分）36. 根据中文和英文提示词语，写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于60词的短文．请不要写出你的真实校名和姓名．某英文报纸以"A Good Sentence to Me"为题征文，请你投稿．请你从下面的三句话中选出你最喜欢的一句，并结合自己的经历谈谈你喜欢它的理由．☆The more we read，the more we will know．☆Helping others is one of the gifts we have to give in life．☆If we're not making mistakes，then we're not doing anything．________．2012年北京市西城区中考英语二模试卷答案1.

Why do we 43 to employ him? No one in town ever 44 him．For all we know, the strange keeper of the hills isn't doing his job．His position isn't 45 any longer．" Then they voted to 46 the man．For several weeks, nothing changed ．．．By early autumn, the trees began to 47 their leaves．Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills, 48 the flow of the shining water．One afternoon, someone noticed a slight yellowish-brown 49 in the river．A few days later, the water was much 50 Within another week, an oily something covered some sections of the water alongthe banks, and a terrible 51 was soon sensed．Swans left, and so did the 52 The only thing that was now visiting the village was disease and sickness．Quickly , the 53 town committee called a special meeting．Realising their huge error in 54 , they rehired the old keeper of the river again, and within a few weeks, the river began to clear up．Swans and tourists came back again and new life returned to the small town in the Alps．Never ignore the seeming smallness of a task, job, or life．They may all make a 55 .36．A．regularly B．suddenly C．naturally D．actually37．A．cut B．burned C．removed D．selected38．A．carried B．poured C．changed D．blocked39．A．beyond B．with C．in D．after40．A．office B．association C．department D．committee41．A．eye B．care C．hand D．mind42．A．list B．form C．figure D．account43．A．promise B．continue C．stop D．tend44．A．visits B．hires C．tells D．sees45．A．powerful B．important C．necessary D．suitable46．A．find B．fire C．support D．forget47．A．lose B．miss C．fall D．grow48．A．pulling B．speeding C．slowing D．pushing49．A．fish B．color C．flower D．leaf50．A．deeper B．cooler C．warmer D．darker51．A．sound B．smell C．wave D．taste52．A．managers B．passengers C．villagers D．tourists53．A．embarrassed B．annoyed C．discouraged D．disappointed54．A．arrangement B．assignment C．judgement D．amusement55．A．suggestion B．difference C．progress D．decision第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）B A Lesson from the ElderGrandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes．His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and ask the many questions that children ask．One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story．"Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present ?a jack-knife．I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight．Some town boys came by and saw me．They surrounded me and started saying bad things．They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife．The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys．I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing．I hate them．I hate them all．The elder Cherokee, with eyes that have seen too much, lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face．Grandfather said, " Let me tell you a story．I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do．But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy．It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die．I have struggled with these feelings many times．It is as if two wolves are inside me．．．It is a terrible fight．One wolf is good and does no harm．He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended．It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way．This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth, and faith．The other wolf is full of anger．The littlest thing will set off his fiercest temper．He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason．He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much．It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing．This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority．Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my spirit．This same fightis going on inside you and inside every other person too．"The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied ．．．"The one you feed．"60．The boy was angry because ____．A．he was not satisfied with his present B．his back was badly injured in a fightC．he had waited for his father for too long D．his jack-knife had been taken away by some boys61．The angry wolf would probably be described as ____．A．aggressive B．sympathetic C．modest D．unsuccessful62．We can learn from the third paragraph that ____．A．"hate" is healthy B．"hate" hurts oneself C．"hate" is complicated D．"hate" harms one's enemies63．What did Grandfather mean by saying "The one you feed" in the last paragraph?A．We should feed the two wolves equally．B．Living in harmony with others is important．C．Our feelings should be expressed at the right time．D．The choices we make determine who we will become．C Cell Phones Are the New CigarettesWhen you get in your car, you reach for it．When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it．When you get into a lift, you play with it．Cigarettes? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life, the cell phone．And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships．With its shiny surface, its smooth and satisfying touch, its air of complexity, the cell phone connects us to the world even as it disconnects us from people three feet away．In just the past couple of years, the cell phone has challenged individuals, employers, phone makers and counselors （顾问）in ways its inventors in the late 1940s never imagined．The costs are becoming even more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill．Dr．Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty Ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality．Sounds extreme, but we've all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him．Is it just rude, or is it a kind of unhealthiness? And pardon me, but how is this improving the quality of life?Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation．He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with．Despite the growing use of phones, e-mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents．"Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends," he says．If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread．Consider that in 1987, there were only 1 million cell phones in use．Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them．They far outnumber wired phones in the United States．64．Which of the following best explains the title of the passage?A．Cell phone users smoke less than they used to．B．More people use cell phones than smoke cigarettes．C Cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettes．D Using cell phone is just as cool as smoking cigarettes．65．The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means ____．A．control B．ignore C．develop D．rescue66．The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that ．A．women use cell phones more often than men B．talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easyD cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherDTraffic ManagementTraffic lights are key tools for regulating traffic How．They are not, however, perfect．Drivers exchange the trafficjams that would happen at unmanaged crossings for a pattern of stop-go movement that can still be annoying, and which bums more fuel than a smooth passage would．Creating such a smooth passage means adjusting a vehicle's speed so that it always arrives at the lights when they are green．That is theoretically possible, but practically hard．Roadside signs wired to traffic lights can help get the message across a couple hundred metres from a crossing, but such signs are expensive, and are not widespread．Margaret Martonosi and Emmanouil Koukoumidis at Princeton University, and Li-Shiuan Peh at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, however, have an idea that could make the process cheaper and more effective．Instead of a hardwired network of signs, they propose to use mobile-phone applications．For a driver to benefit, lie must load the team's software , named SignalGuru, into his phone and then put it on a special thing attached to the inside of his car's windscreen, with the camera lens （镜头）pointing forward．SignalGuru is designed to detect traffic lights and track their status as red, yellow or green．It broadcasts this information to other phones in the area that are fitted with the same software, and —if there are enough of them ?the phones thus each know the status of most of the lights around town．Using this information, SignalGuru is able to calculate the traffic-light schedule for the area and suggest the speed at which a driver should travel in order to avoid red lights．Tests in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where five drivers were asked to follow the same route for three hours, and in Singapore, where eight drivers were asked to follow one of two routes for 30 minutes, revealed that SignalGuru was capable of predicting traffic-light activity with an accuracy of 98．2% and 96．3% respectively, in the two cities．This was particularly impressive because in Cambridge the lights shifted, roughly half-way through the test, from their unbusy schedule to their afternoon-traffic schedule, while in Singapore lights are adaptive, using detectors fixed under the road to determine how much traffic is present and thus when a signal should change．In neither case was SignalGuru fooled．Fuel consumption fell, too —by about 20% ．SignalGuru thus reduces both annoyance and fuel use, and makes going back and forth to work a slightly less horrible experience．67．Roadside signs wired to traffic lights are not the best way to create a smooth passage because , A．they are expensive and easily break B．they are too costly and not widely usedC．they are complex and confusing to drivers D．they are theoretically possible but practically useless 68．SignalGuru is an application used on ____．A．a camera B．a computer C．a mobile phone D．a GPS system in one's car69．With the information it collects and processes, SignalGuru is able to ____．A．help drivers avoid traffic accidents B．allow drivers to adjust their speedC change the traffic lights in advance D．send information to all cell phones70．The tests in Cambridge and Singapore were impressive because SignalGuru ____．A．proved to be unreliable B．operated at a high speed C．functioned rather stably D．understood drivers' schedules 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）The Pleasing Sound of a RainstickA stick is a long tube that is carved out, with small sticks or othermaterials pushed inside so that it has a somewhat smooth surface on the outside,but small barriers inside．These can be in a lined pattern, for a specific sound,or placed at random for a more varied effect．It is then filled with a variety ofdifferent things, like small stones, or beads （珠子）, or even rice, and theends are capped to provide a seal．71The origins of rainsticks are not really known and so the stories are quite varied．Some people say that the ancient peoples of Chile created rainsticks from dried cactus （仙人掌）, with the sharp points taken off, pushed back inside and then filled with small stones．72 The Deaguita Indians survive even today, and they are still using them in many of their rain ceremonies．They also make them as musical instruments．73 Turning the stick over quickly will produce a higher sound, while turning it slowly will produce a deeper effect．How long the effect lasts depends on how long the instrument is．The tube also affects the quality of the rain sound as well．If you make them from some kind of absorbent material, like cactus or bamboo, you will hear it better than if you were to make it from cardboard tubing．A rainstick can be made from almost any kind of material and the types of things that you can use as fillings can be even more varied．74 Usually, these school projects are made using a cardboard tube, like the center from a roll of toilet paper or a paper towel tube．Tooth picks are then inserted, with the exposed ends cut off and glued in place．75 A．You can even make your own rainsticks, and they are often part of school projects where they are used to help children learn the history of Indian peoples．B．When turned upside down．these materials fall down through the tube, bouncing off of thebarriers to produce a calming rain-like sound．C．These were then capped with pieces of wood on the ends and used in ceremonies to bring rain to their crops．D．One end is capped off with poster board and filled with rice or beans, and then the other end is sealed．E．You can get different rain sounds, depending on how fast you turn the rainstick itself．F．This rainstick can never be opened according to the scared writings of the ancients．G．They can be three feet or longer depending on what the tube itself is made from。
