ADuring the Second World War, an old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s hometown.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”1. The old man’s sons joined the army because _______.A. they were all strongB. they had to doC. they wanted to be fullD. So they loved their country2. Which of the following is true?A. The old policeman would send the old man into prison.B. The old policeman thought Hitler was better than pigs.C. The old policeman hated Hitler, too.D. The old man found a friend at the police station.3. The policeman thought _______.A. Hitler was more foolish than pigsB. the old man insulted(侮辱) their hometownC. the old man had to say sorry to himD. the old man had to fight with HitlerBIn a village, the people were not rich. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a be tter future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4 . From paragraph I, we learn that the villagers __________.A. worked very hard for centuriesB. dreamed of having a better lifeC. lived a different life from their forefathersD.were poor but somewhat content5. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. the frogs were easy moneyB. They needs money to buy medicineC. they wanted to please the visitorsD. the frogs made too much noise6. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. the crops didn’t do wellB.the pesticides were overusedC. the visits brought in diseasesD. there were too many insects7. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the countryB. Health is more important than moneyC. The harmony between man and nature is importantD. good old day will never be forgottenCWhat do women really want their Mr. Right in Britain. He should be good-looking, clean-shaven and drive a silver Mercedes. And, most important of all, he should be more than 178cm.Height is apparently more important than looks to women looking for Mr. Right, a survey claims. With blue eyes, short dark-brown hair and medium build, the ideal candidatewould appear to be the film star Jake Gyllenhaal. Looks aside, the perfect partner must also love pets and appreciate fine wine, theaters and nice restaurants. Coupled with this he should have a “wacky” sense of humor, accordin g to the study of 40,000 women by UK . Mr. Right wears smart jeans and a T-shirt, weighs exactly 80.5 kilos and is a doctor or a lawyer who owns a home in a good location.He has had three serious relationships, no more than six sexual partners, h as never been married and doesn’t have children.Also important is a university education: many women specify a man with a BA degree.Smokers and football fans were not popular.Only 1 percent of women questioned would date a man who hates pets. The majority ---66 percent ---want to find a partner who is fit. Even more---68 percent---are looking for a “wacky” sense of humor.David Brown, managing director of UK said, “ The female daters on our websites certainly know what they want and the y are not afraid to let the man know.”Fortunately for imperfect men, however, not all women go for the Gyllenhaal ideal. “ Cuddly lovers” were favored by 21 percent, while 16 percent would like to find a balding gent like Bruce Willis. Another 11 percent said their Mr. Right would be ginger, while 18 percent said they would prefer a man with grey hair. And 28 percent claimed they would not care how much a man would earn. Facial hair proved surprisingly popular: 28 percent of those surveyed admitted they like a goatee and 21 percent said they would like to meet a man with a moustache. Only 2 percent of women, however, said they wouldn’t mind dating someone who was less than 152 cm tall.8. In the eyes of British women, what is the most important for Mr. Right.A. sense of humorB. AppearanceC. heightD. job9. Which of the following is not considered the standard of Mr. RightA. Love for sportsB.MoneyC. AppearanceD.Good education10. In women’s eyes, Mr. Right should be .A. a lawyerB. a teacherC. a bossD. a clerk11. From the passage we know that .A. most women like “ cuddly lovers”B. all the women like the film star Jake Gyllenhaal.C. ordinary men seem to have no chance to find lovers.D. most women like men with a sense of humor.DWhen you were very young can you remember any of the bad habits you used to have? Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck your thumb(拇指). Of course, you do not do that any more, but yo u can surely remember your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older we get other bad habits. We can’t give them up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting; in our teens, it’s smoking; in middle-age, it’s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.12. Generally speaking, a child likes ______.A. sucking thumbsB.smokingC. biting nailsD. eating too much13. According to the passage, now we have good habits such as personal cleanliness, for which we benefit from _______.A. the social conditionsB. our mothers’ early trainingC. our friends’ kind helpD. some strict rules14. At the end of the story the writer says "And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all". Here what do you suppose the worst habit is?A. Reading.B. Playing.C. Lying.D. Walking15.Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?A. It is very difficult to get rid of our habits.B. At different ages people have different bad habits.C. Giving up smoking is as difficult as giving up other bad habits.D. Sucking thumbs is a young chil d’s bad habit第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 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。

15—16学年下学期高一期中考试英语试题(附答案)

2015~2016学年度第二学期模块测试高一英语第Ⅰ卷客观卷（共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AChristmas Eve was tomorrow. I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree. It was the only thing I wanted. I had been dropping hints to my parents. I love taking photos. My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom’s old camera. I’m always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene, but my camera has always seemed to fall short.I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning, so I went on a hunt in my mom’s room. I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor — a big pink cat. I felt so disappointed.Mom seemed to notice that, and she tried to cheer me up. ―Stacy, I got your present today. I am so excited to surprise you!‖ ―I can’t wait,‖ I said.The next day I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed to tell her.―Mom, may I talk to you for a second?‖―Sure, dear. What do you need to talk about?‖ she asked.And so it came — how upset I was that I was getting a cat.―Stacy, that cat is for your sister Julia!‖ she said with a smile.―Then what am I getting?‖ I asked.She just smiled. ―You’ll have to wait and see.‖The next morning, I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree. I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find ...My camera! ―Thank you!‖ I said to both Dad and Mom.Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia, Mom and me. It has become one of my favorite pictures. Just on that Christmas morning, I took lots of photos with my camera —my little sister making a face, my parents giving me a soft smile — and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me: love.1. The underlined phrase ―dropping hints‖ in Paragraph 1 means _____.A. talking oftenB. suggesting indirectlyC. sending presentsD. taking pictures2. Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?A. Her mother couldn’t understand her at all.B. Her mother didn’t buy her any Christmas gift.C. She didn’t find her present in her mom’s room.D. She mistook her sister’s Christmas gi ft for hers.3. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointmentB. Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas EveC. Stacy thought it’s OK to have an old cameraD. her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A Christmas gift as wished.B. Love is more important than gifts.C. A wonderful Christmas.D. Love can not be bought.BWhat are you feeling right now as you start to read this? Are you curious? Hoping that you’ll learn something about yourself? Bored because this is something you have to do for school and you’re not really into it —or happy because it’s a school project you enjoy? Perhaps you’re attracted by something else, like feeling excited about your weekend plans or sad because you just went through a breakup.Emotions like these are part of human nature. They give us information about what we’re experiencing and help us know how to react. We sense our emotions from the time we’re babies. Young children react to their emotions with facial expressions or with actions like laughing orcrying. They feel and show emotions, but they don’t yet have the ability to name the emotion or say why they feel that way.As we grow up, we become more skilled in understanding emotions. Instead of just reacting like little kids do, we can identify（定义）what we feel and put it into words. With time and practice, we get better at knowing what we are feeling and why. This skill is called emotional awareness.Emotional awareness helps us know what we need and want, or don’t want! It helps us build better relationships. That’s because being aware of our emotions can help us talk about feelings more clearly, avoid or settle conflicts（冲突）better, and move past difficult feelings more easily.Some people are naturally more in touch with their emotions than others. The good news is that everyone can be more aware of their emotions. It just takes pract ice. But it’s worth the effort.Emotional awareness is the first step toward building emotional intelligence, a skill that can help people succeed in life.5. How do young children react to emotions?A. With laughter and shouts.B. With signs and expressions.C. With facial expressions and actions.D. With gestures of different kinds.6. From the passage we know that emotional awareness actually _________.A. enables us to live in society more easilyB. lets people understand others betterC. brings about conflicts between peopleD. smooths away difficulties in our life7. Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A science fiction.B. An advertisement.C. A science magazine.D. A television show.CEnglish is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. ―The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,‖ he says.In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and southeast Asia.David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second language compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. ―All the evidence suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster, but nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before.‖ he said.8．In David Graddol’ s opinion, English will _______.A．remain widespread and importantB．be more important than any other languageC．lose its dominant positionD．die away in the near future9．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.A．more and more language users will choose EnglishB．the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the pastC．English language will soon drop in dominanceD．snowballs will roll down faster than language balls10．How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.11．What should be the best title for the passage?A．English Remaining in the Dominant PositionB．The Future of English? Who Knows?C．Opinions from Different ExpertsD．The English Language Snowball Rolling DownDInternational students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. But the business must directly provide a service for students. You could work at the bookstore, for example, but not for a company that is building something at the school. Also, a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.International students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. You can work until you finish your studies.International students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their school. But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. Examples include large medical bills, the shortage of financial (财政上的) aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.Students must also meet other conditions (条件). They must have studied at their American school for at least one year. Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus (校外的) job.International students who will be studying at graduate school can apply (申请) for some jobs before they come to the United States. A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.Some schools pay their assistants. Others provide free education in return. Many do both. Graduate assistants might teach, give tests, grade work, help with research and clean the offices. Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English. Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.International student offices at schools have to provide information on students each term for the Department of Homeland Security. Students who violate visa (签证) rules —for example, by working off-campus without permission —could be sent home.12. What can we learn according to the passage?A. All the international students can work for large companies.B. International students are able to work whenever they like.C. International students may be allowed to work outside the school when having financial trouble.D. International students must have studied at their American school for less than a year to get ajob.13. We may infer from the passage that ____.A. international students could apply for some jobs before coming to the USB. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for themC. international students cannot take their jobs before having language trainingD. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobs14. The under lined word ―violate‖ in the last paragraph probably means ____.A. ask forB. go againstC. forgetD. obey15. What is the passage mainly about?A. The rules about getting a job while studying in the US for international students.B. The reason why international students like studying in the United States.C. What international students should do while working in the United States.D. How international students could find jobs while studying in the US.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。

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me.

We chatted on the way into the city, andwhen I get out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.

Then I noticed that the Friendly ford shop-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment; so when I got home; I wrotethem a note to say thanks, I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.

高中英语真题：2015—2016学年度第二学期高一英语中期考试卷

2015—2016学年度第二学期高一英语中期考试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共40分）一．阅读理解根据短文内容选择最佳答案（每小题2分，共30分）AThere once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business w as to provide goods to the local people. He would open his sh op at 8:00 a.m. after having his breakfast and at 1:00 p.m. he would go for lunch. In the evening at 8:30 p.m. he closed his s hop to complete his daily routine.However, to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn’t have anybody to help him at that time. Therefore, it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1:00 p.m. would be asked to oversee (看管) the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch.One day, a group of four thieves planned to steal from his sho p while he was gone for lunch. One of the thieves went at 1:00 p.m. to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop.The thief, pretending to be a customer, went in at 1:00 p.m . and started buying several items. As planned, the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch.Then, the other three thieves quickly came and told the pre tend customer to help, but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop, he should not perform any dishonest acts during that ti me. His friends did not agree. As the now honest man tried to stop them, they resisted (抵抗) and a fight started. And at the same time the shopkeeper r eturned and asked why there was a fighting. The now honest man explained the entire plan.The shopkeeper had been searching for an honest man w ho could take ownership of the shop and run it. The shop-keeper felt that he had found the right man.1. What is the problem for the shopkeeper?A. Nobody could prepare lunch for him every day.B. He had nobody to keep the shop when he went for lunch.C. He was too busy to have lunch every day.D. He couldn’t find a person to work at the shop.2. Why did the thief go to the shop at 1:00 p.m.?A. Because he thought he would be asked to keep the shop.B. Because the shopkeeper invited him to lunch then.C. Because the shop was closed at that time.D. Because he thought he could buy cheap things then.3. When the shopkeeper returned from lunch, he found _____ __.A. everything in his shop was stolenB. the thief became the new owner of the shopC. there was a fighting in his shopD. the thief helped his fellows steal things from his shop4. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. once a thief, he will always be a thiefB. an honest man will be responsible for his actionC. you can’t believe in a dishonest man foreverD. trust can change a thief into an honest manBSunnyNowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we ha ve learnt. Regular drilling and repetition make perfect. But tea chers have started to give too much homework. Anything in e xcess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of givi ng students a practice and not to overwork them.JaneWhat’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms but nothin g else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at hom e will just make them memorize things but not put them into u se. I regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get i nterested to understand what they learn. The same trend cont inues even in college. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an i nterview.SallyIt is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be f ree in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired a nd we wouldn’t be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. So please give less homework to us.JohnsonIt is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do th at though I know such a teacher is not liked by students.5. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to stude nts’ physical and mental health?A. Sunny.B. Jane.C. Sally.D. Johnson.6. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give stud ents homework?A. Because they care more about student s’ metal health.B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.C. Because they will be punished if they don’t give homework.D. Because they want students to get interested in their studie s.7. What problem do the speakers talk about?A. Whether students should be punished without doing home work.B. What kind of homework should be given to students.C. What role homework plays in helping students to learn.D. Whether teachers should give homework to students.CA car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to wor k for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat.There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three gro ups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group , and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at lea st one food from all four main groups. With all these food toge ther, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your bre akfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not hav e time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supp er with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tire d in these days and you can not think quickly.Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy andstrong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you e at more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Havi ng a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your h ealth.8. Which of the following is a good eating-habit?A. Going to school without any breakfastB. Eating fish and chips for supper all the time..C. Having at least one food from all four groups each meal.D.

The underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _____.A. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterB. the shop that sells milk and buttera farm where cows are keptD. a place where milk products are made.DIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or wo rk well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you ru n a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer fro m high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doc tor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and l ungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funn y story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very i ll. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and se rious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink tw o glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In otherwords, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleas ure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t sm oke more than one cigar ette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and sa id that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”11. The writer thinks that.health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC.medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money12. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do.without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC.if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain13. The underlined part means “”.he was feeling better than ever B. he wasn’t a healthy manC.he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again14.

Which of the following is NOT true?A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a per son is ill.B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.C. The man thanked the doctor.D.

It is easy to make and does not even use ice.A common design is a tall box with several shelves inside. The shelves are pieces of metal with many small holes through them. The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth. Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler. The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.Put the cooler in the open air but not in the sun. Air will pass through while the inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside. This can keep foods fresh for a short time.The best way to prepare foods for storage (储存) is at harvest time. Place the harvested items on a clean surface, but not on the ground. Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are stored. A good idea is to harvest foods either early or late in the day, then leave them to cool naturally. Do not remove outer leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage.Some fruits and vegetables must be stored at zero to four degrees Celsius. Any colder, and they might be damaged. Others need four to eight degrees, and still others above eight degrees. Cover the items in plastic oncethey reach the right “critical temperature” for storage.28. What is an evaporative cooler?A.

The shocking green body and long tail have brought a bright color to the parks, which have attracted a lot of people.However, the parakeets are no longer welcome. They will push out local birds from trees to build their own nests, and will also take most of the food in the parks, such as seeds, fruit and nuts.Sometimes by accident, plants and animals are carried to new places. They are transported by trains, ships or even planes. Often, animals like fishes get transported in the water containers of ships. When these ships reach new places and pump out the water from their tanks, these animals will start anew life in a new place.Sometimes people take plants and animals from one part of the world to the other to solve a problem. But it will create a bigger problem. Years ago, the sugarcane (甘蔗) farmers of northern Australia brought the toads (蟾蜍) from South America to their farms. They thought they would kill the beetles (甲虫) that harm the sugarcane crops. But the toad has done much more. It is now killing Australia’s native animals, such as snakes, water birds and so on.32.

Smiling always helps.The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui wrote, ‚I want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly. What should I do?‛Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them every day.

But on Thursday night she was told that she had to go to an important meeting the next day at the same time. ‚No one can be in two places at the same time. What shall I do?‛ she thought. But soon, she had an idea. At five to three on Friday afternoon, Miss Evans went to the lecture room. There were twenty students waiting there for her. ‚I'm sorry,‛ she told them, ‚I won't be able to give my lecture today.‛The students looked surprised. Miss Evans explained that she had an important meeting. ‚However,‛ she went on, ‚though I can't be with you myself, my voice can.‛Then she put a small tape recorder (录音机) on the desk, ‚You see, I've recorded my lecture and you can listen to it without me.‛ Miss Evans turned on the recorder and left..The meeting ended a little early. Miss Evans decided to go back to her students. She stood for a moment outside the lecture room, listening to her own voice. Then quickly, she opened the door. To her surprise, the room was empty. As she looked around, she saw a number of small recorders ‚listening‛ to her lecture!‚Well,‛ she thought, ‚If I can be in two places at the same time, why can't they?‛( )9.

Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it." Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other outer factors.I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same things cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary(临时的) setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively（积极地）; you also have to act positively.If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.( )13. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _______.A. doesn't need improvingB. couldn't be improvedC. will be better some dayD. Will be worse in the future( )14. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.B. Your luck can be changed by your hard work.C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.( )15. The text is mainly written to advise you to _______.A. understand yourselfB. improve your lifeC. believe in yourselfD. change your normal way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空白处的最佳选项。

They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as theirfriends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who chooses your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome.16.Many teenagers think that______ can understand them better.A friends B. brothers C. sisters D. parents17.________ is very important to teenagers.A. To make friendsB.

He explained that he wished to buy a pearl（珍珠）for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied "I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactly like that pearl".The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement（广告） but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse." "I don’t like to part with it”, she said sadly. “I got it from my mother, and my mother got it from hers. But I really need the money”.The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man however was nowhere to be found.23.

Why did many people answer the advertisement?A. Because they wanted to see the perfect pearl.B. Because they wanted to buy some beautiful pearl too.C. Because they wanted to get in touch with the rich man.D. Because they wanted to sell their own pearl at a high price.26. The jeweler couldn’t find the man anywhere because __________.A. he died suddenlyB. he happened to be outC. he got $20,000 by cheating and had run away with the moneyD. h e wouldn’t show up until the jeweler called him a second time Ramadan（D）London has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.The River Thames is London’s main waterway. It has shaped the capital’s landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in theeastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London’s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard.About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen’s homes---Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again.Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring.

ALinda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill. One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman —Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed andcried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!21．The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans _______.A. at the age of 13B. before she got marriedC. after they moved to new homesD. before the writer’s family moved away22．They didn’t often write to each other because they _______.A. got marriedB. had little time to do soC. didn’t like writing lettersD. could see each other on special time23．There was an empty place in the writer’s heart be cause she _______.A. was in troubleB. didn’t know Linda’s addressC. received the card that she sentD. didn’t have a friend like Linda to share her happi ness or sadness24．The writer was happy when she _______.A. read the newspaperB. heard Linda’s voice on the phoneC. met a young woman who looked a lot like LindaD. wrote to the woman whose last name was Wagman25．They haven’t kept in touch _______.A. for about 40 yearsB. for about 27 yearsC. since they got marriedD. since the writer’s family moved awayBAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green--a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may evenlearn more about the invisible colors around us.26．The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness27．According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can____________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow28．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.29．Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.30．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a __________.A. red lightB. yellow lightC. blue lightD. green lightCWe bet that on cold wintry days, many of you love to stay in your warm home and, every now and then, come out into the kitchen for a snack. Unfortunately, plenty of creepy-crawly critters (爬行生物) like to do the same thing!Winter is the time when bugs (虫子) invade your house without an invitation. The season can be tough for such creatures. In winter the air is cold, the ground is hard and many trees have no leaves. So bugs do what they have to do to survive.Monarch butterflies head south to warmer climates. Ants crowd in deep underground colonies and eat food they have been storing all year. Many insects go into a deep sleep called diapause. There’re different kinds of diapause, but all are similar to hibernation, a time when bigger animals become inactive in the cold. Insects go into an inactive period, too, but it often isn’t when the temperature drops.They rely on more dependable signals in the environment. For example, many insects can tell how much sunlight there’s each day. They use that t o tell them when to shut down. Bugs are cold-blooded, meaning that their inside temperature is the same as the outside. They can’t move much when it gets below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. So they search for any warm place.They’re looking for protection. Th ese guys have been doing this for 300 million years, so they don’t really know they’re coming into your house. The home is a recent event in terms of their evolutionary behavior. They enter through tiny cracks or come in unnoticed on your clothes or shoes. Remember that they may be invading your homes for warmth and food, but they don’t care about humans.31. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To point out that humans like to stay at home in winter.B. To mean that humans and bugs have the same living habits.C. To mean that bugs will invade the house for their winter.D. To put forward the idea that bugs are not welcome in winter.32. According to the text, what is diapause?A. It is the same as the animals’ hibernation.B. It often appears in warm areas all the year.C. It is done to keep bugs active in winter.D. It is a deep sleep similar to hibernation.33. What often decides bugs’ diapause?A. The lower local temperatures.B. The amounts of sunlight.C. Kinds of environmental signals.D. The insects’ inside temperature.34. According to the text, bugs invade humans’ homes to ______.A. attack humansB. look for enough foodC. seek for protectionD. show their evolutionary results35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bugs’ life on cold wintry daysB. Why bugs invade your home in winter?C. Good relations between humans and bugsD. What does diapause mean?第二节（共5小题；每小题两分，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。
