I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 31 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 the holidays.〞 Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heart 34 . I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to 35 her groceries or ask for her husband’s situation?36 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart.I remembered something in my purse that I thought might help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an 37 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life 38 .My heart beat faster as I 39 the woman. “Excuse me,〞 I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really 40 time right now. I’m so sorry, but I’d like to give you something.〞I took a small card out of my purse and 41 it to her.When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her 42 , she said, “You have no idea how much this 43 to me.〞I was a little 44 by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of 45 I might receive. All I could think to respond was, “Oh! Would it be OK to give you a 46 ?〞After we hugged 47 , I walked back to my car — and began to cry too.The words on the card?“You Matter.〞A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 48 for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a 49 glow (喜悦) spread inside of me. Deeply touched,I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started 50 them.31.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with c hipmunks —small American animals similar to squirrels with black lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent six months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the park’s phone and radio system from a room in the basement.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the suspended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the opposite direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tails, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a shadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,〞 a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.〞After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accustomed to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the workplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviors provided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other across our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light panels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phone as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just in time to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the desk. I picked up the phone, preparing to explain the crash, the scream, the dropped phone, and the laughing to the listener who was about to visit the park.“I’m sorry, but you’re not going to believe what just happened.〞I don’t think he did.1. What does the author probably do?A. He’s a visitor.B. He’s a biologist.C. He’s an architect.D. He’s a consultant.2. What were the chipmunks doing when the author found them for the first time?A. They were chasing each other.B. They were making their home.C. They were jumping onto the lights.D. They were climbing up to the ceiling.3. How did the author feel about seeing chipmunks in his office?A. Scared.B. Curious.C. Pleased.D. Shocked.4. What was the main cause of the accident when the author was making a phone call?A. The chipmunks were fighting on the panel.B. The panel couldn’t bear the chipmunks’ weight.C. Something hit the ceiling from high above.D. The suspended ceiling was not firm.5. Who was the author talking to over the phone?A. One of his friends.B. Frank Lloyd Wright.C. A future park visitor.D. One of his colleagues.BBy trying to tickle(挠痒痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly ground-breaking,〞 said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.〞Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal ticklin g. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similarsounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.〞 They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors have been very adventurous,〞said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?〞 he sa id. “This is the first step towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).〞6. What contributed to humans’ being ticklish according to Aristotle?A. Their special skin.B. Their social pleasure.C. Their nervous system.D. Their willingness to touch.7. Why did the researchers make use of electrical currents?A. To discover the special group of ner ve cells.B. To experiment on different animals.C. To follow the process of tickling.D. To prove their finding.8. Which of the following statements will Jeffrey Burgdorf agree with?A. The research process is full of risks.B. The finding of the study is surprising and unbelievable.C. The new discovery is beneficial for the study of emotion.D. The finding of the study actually contradicts modern science.9. The underlined word “squeak〞 in Paragraph 2 may be explained by ______.A. give a smileB. make a noiseC. burst into tearsD. watch with staring eyes10. What is the best title for the text?A. The Life of RatsB. How Rats LaughC. A Wonderful ScientistD. A New Discovery about RatCAfter shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday〞, or online on “Cyber Monday〞, Americans a nd people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday〞. Starting in 2021, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y,a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2021, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $ 1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even readingto a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!11. Which of the following has the shortest history?A. Giving Tuesday.B. Black Friday.C. Thanksgiving Day.D. Cyber Monday.12. What’s the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday〞?A. To make Thanksgiving Day enjoyable.B. To encourage more people to do charities.C. To get voluntary work better known.D. To persuade more people to shop online.13. Why does the author advise sharing good deeds on social?A. To keep a record of one’s experience.B. To help people make new friends.C. To make Giving Tuesday more popular.D. To donate money to local schools.14. Which section of a website does the text probably comeA. Lifestyle.B. Education.C. Culture.D. Business.DMy newlywed husband said the same thing every morning. “You're beautiful today.〞One glance in the mirror showed that it was far from the truth.“Liar,〞 I shot back with a grin.It was my usual response. My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in and he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Nine months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me.The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two years when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's face was inches from mine.“What are you doing?〞 I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He reached down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,〞 he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been beside me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confident woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced〔刺穿〕 my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richard how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15. When the author looked into the mirror, she found herself ______.A. beautifulB. confidentC. untidyD. unusual16. Why did the author’s mother and her two children have to move?A. Because their house was too small.B. Because they were not well treated by the husband.C. Because they were expecting another baby.D. Because her mother’s husband wanted them to move.17. As a young girl, the author ______.A. was married earlyB. had a happy childhoodC. looked for root everywhereD. lacked confidence in herself18. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the author’s husband had a positive influence on her lifeB. the author played an important part in the changeC. they have been married for 23 yearsD. the author’s husband has gained some weight19. The underlined phrase “the words〞 in the last b ut one paragraph refers to ______.A. her own wordsB. her husband’s wordsC. her mother’s wordsD. her father’s words语篇 Nowadays,the ice bucket challenge is among the___1.____ (hot) news of a11.It is an activity____2.____(hold)by an American charity organization.It not only helps the sick people to get the money to heal their disease,but also makes more and more people aware_____3____the disease,so that they can give more care to the patients.Ice bucket challenge is like the epidemic(流行病),____4____becomes popular around the world very_____5____(quick).The starter holds the activity,____6____(hope)people can experience the ALS patients’ pain.In the activity,people need to pour the ice water down from theirheads,and then propose another three people.They can either choose to accept the challenge_____7____ donate 100 dollars,or do the both.The ALS makes people’s muscles become hard.It is hard for the patients to move.Stephen Hocking is one of the ____8_____(suffer).Ice bucket challenge is____9____great success.Until now,a big donation___10___(receive).改错〔1〕As is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, that makes them weak and easily tired. There are many reasons about this. First of all, some of the student complain that they have too much homework, result in less time to take exercise. However, some of them think that it is very difficult for us to keep doing exercise, because it is very hard thing. Because of lack of physical activities, many students are in poor healthy. I suggest that our school must take measures to encourage more students to take part in sports. For us students, no matter how busy we were , it is necessary to spare some time to do exercise.〔2〕Today was my former junior school’s fifty anniversary. I attended to its Homecoming Day. Early in the morning, followed some other former schoolmates of different age, I arrived at the school gate. We first went around the school and then visit the school museum to admire all the pleasant changes in recent years. Afterwards, several students had a tea party with some teachers or other students, talking about our old days and school life today. Unknowingly, several hours passed. Before leaving, all of us were inviting to leave a message on a wall.I wrote serious that I was very grateful to my school for her giving me a happy and brilliant childhood.

The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engineshurts your 36 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.drive-through window On a 37 afternoon, everything changed.Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 38windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 39their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heatedleather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to theemployees.This woman was 40 .“I’ll get the next car’s 41 as well,〞 she said as she came up to thewindow to pay.

He 50 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 51 and pleased. Somewere shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 52 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 53 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 54 their thanks.It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 55 of traffic.

I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store.I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.Yours truly,Bob Watson56. According to Bob, the grocery store ________.A. meets all his needsB. is outstanding in every wayC. offers good customer serviceD. lacks convenient transportation57. How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing the figures.C. By providing scientific findings.D. By comparing two different stores.58. From the letter, we can learn that the author is ________.A. a very picky reporterB. a competitor of the storeC. a responsible nutritionistD. a regular customer of the storeBA Simple Lesson“Another bad day at school?〞 my father asked as I came into the room.“How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,〞 I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,〞Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.〞“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to pla y is right field, and that’s the worst!〞Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you,do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?〞“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.〞“Very good, and what make s your grandfather so important?〞“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,〞 I answered.“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?〞 my father asked.I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,〞 I said sheepishly.“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,〞 said Papa.All I could say was, “Okay.〞Then I asked, “What should I do now?〞Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.〞59. Why was the author unhappy that day?A. Because he moved to a new country.B. Because his baseball team lost the game.C. Because he wasn’t offered a chance to pitch.D. Because he quarreled with his friends at school.60. The father successfully cha nged his son’s mood by ________.A. asking him to train harderB. playing baseball with himC. telling his grandfather’s storyD. introducing him some new friends61. The underlined word “sheepishly〞 probably means ________.A. shylyB. patientlyC. clumsilyD. cautiously62. What can we infer about the author?A. He thinks his father lives in the past.B. He’d rather live with his grandfather.C. He will continue to dislike school and everything.D. He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.CLast week I did something that scared me. I stood in front of nearly 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why financial blogs are a good thing.I’m a confident writer. I’ve been do ing this long enough that I know my strength and my limitations. I’m less confident as a speaker. I don’t have time to pause to collect my thoughts. I’m not able to edit. I’m afraid of being trapped in a corner without being able to talk my way out. Basica lly, I’m scared to speak.It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my way. When somebody asks me to speak in front of a group, I could say “no〞. When radio and television stations call for an interview, I could say “no〞. But for the past two years, I’ve been following my own policy to say “yes〞 to new chances.To say “yes〞 is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challenges, and to learn from them — even if I fail.In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. “I realize it’s short notice,〞the producer wrote, “but we’d love to have you on the show if you’re available tonight.〞 I was frightened. I thought about recent taped television interviews that I had hated. I was afraid of what might happen.But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thought of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I had bought for $1.29 at the local store. The Magic of Thinking Big was a huge bestseller during the 1960s. Written by Dr. David Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achieve big goals. Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear on his show, I thought big. “Sure,〞I said. “I’ll do it.〞 I acted confidently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fear.63. Why is the author afraid of speaking in public?A. He is aware of his potential.B. He has few chances to talk.C. He is not able to edit what he says.D. He likes writing better.64. The underlined words “my own policy〞 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________.A. self-improving through challengesB. hesitating before chancesC. turning down the invitationsD. saying yes to fear65. The author mentioned the book The Magic of Thinking Big mainly because ________.A. it was inspiringB. it was a bestsellerC. its author was famousD. its price was attractive66. What is the author’s purpose to write the pass age?A. To analyze his strength and weaknesses.B. To give practical tips on speaking in public.C. To persuade people to follow his example.D. To share his experiences of overcoming fear.DTo Friend or Not to FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “frien ds〞 and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just howimportant social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Someti mes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend〞 request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject〞 their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent surv ey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.〞Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.67. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ______.A. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC. parents have realized the importance of social networksD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate68. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ______.A. they hide something from their parentsB. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD. their parents make negative comments on them69. The passage is mainly about ______.A. privacy onlineB. social networksC. the generation gapD. parents’ friend requests70. The passage is written mainly for ______.A. parentsB. teenagersC. teachersD. researchers第二节〔一共5小题;每一小题2分,一共10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White pl ay. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs.Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Pari s and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”【】1、What happened to Paris on a March day?A、She caught a bad cold.B、She had a sudden heart problem.C、She was knocked down by a ball.D、She shivered terribly during practice【】2、Why does Paris say she was lucky?A、She made a worthy friend.B、She recovered from shock.C、She received immediate CPR.D、She came back on the softball team.【】3、Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A、Enthusiastic and kind.B、Courageous and calm.C、Cooperative and generous.D、Ambitious and professional.BInspiring young minds!TOKNOW Magazine is a big hit in the world of children’s publishing, bringing a unique combination of challenging ideas and good fun to young fans every month.What’s inside?Every month the magazine introduces a fresh new topic with articles, experiments and creative things to make —the magazine also explores philosophy and wellbeing to make sure young readers have a balanced take on life.Sounds too good to be true?Take a look online—evidence shows that thousands of teachers and parents know a good thing when they see it and recommend TOKNOW to their friends.Happy Birthday All Year!What could be more fun than a gift that keeps coming through the letterbox every month?

But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.That’s exactl y what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as e veryone shares in the risks.【】8、The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.A、a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB、the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC、anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD、information about measles spreads quickly【】9、Herd immunity works well when ____________.A、exemptions are allowedB、several vaccines are used togetherC、the whole neighborhood is involved inD、new regulations are added to the state laws【】10、What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A、The overuse of vaccine.B、The lack of medical care.C、The features of measles itself.D、The vaccine opt-outs of some people.【】11、What is the purpose of the passage?A、To introduce the idea of exemption.B、To discuss methods to cure measles.C、To stress the importance of vaccination.D、To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.完型Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada.

She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in “Ladybug Jars” to collect every one`s spare change during “Make Change” month. More recently, the foundation began another 47 called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s 48 and homeless.There is an emergency shelter in Winn ipeg called “Hannah`s Place”, something that Hannah is very49 of.

Construction of the monument began in 1848, but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after Mr. Mills’death.

The World War II MemorialBI set out to help clean up the beach after a violent storm a year ago. The sight I saw was heartbreaking. The broken houses seemed to be weeping quietly. I couldn’t describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点HY校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre〞 written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone.I decided to find the jacket’s owner and return it.I called the West Point Museum, considering that if the family couldn’t be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy’s Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two hours, someone had found and called the hero’s wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends andothers who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre’s jacket and connecting to his family with the help of Facebook have been so meaningful to me. I’ve formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.4. Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________.A. sadB. surprisedC. nervousD. disappointed5. What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A. He should try to find its owner.B. He could wear it for Halloween.C. He should return it to West Point.D.

Because the workers there needed the jacket.D. Because the jacket might be collected by the museum.7. According to the text, who was Kim McDermott?A. He happened to be the owner of the jacket.B. He was a student graduating from West Point.C. He was someone who could find a record of the graduates.D. He was a family member of the author.CThe human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we’re sitting while we’re eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.〞Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.〞 They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk〞 lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.〞 A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies thatmany companies are using now.Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to makea few changes in their own lives.8. The underlined word “ubiquitous〞 is closest in meaning to ________.A. dangerousB. awkwardC. comfortableD. common9. Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk?A. Sitting too lo ng may help increase one’s life.B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.C. Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one’s horizons.D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.10. What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4?A. It’s a relatively new area of study.B. It’s a hot subject studied by experts.C. It’s a study that begins too late.D. It’s not ignored by many experts.11. Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more?A. To give them more comfort.B. To improve their work efficiency.C. To offer them the chance to exercise.D. To seek pleasure while working.DCrying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can’t hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re atour worst. By we, I mean all of us -- men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it’s r eserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things -- deaths, break-ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit,I’m a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog -- a loyal companion -- was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my dog’s death, I remember thinking, “I’ve got to stop this crying〞. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I’ve since realized that tears are for everybody; they’re not gender-specific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.12. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Crying is a raw human emotion.B. Crying is an emotion beyond control.C. Crying is an emotion showing sadness.D. Crying is an emotion showing happiness.13. What’s the difference between men and women in crying according to Dutch research?A. They cry over different matters.B. They cry at different times of life.C. Women cry more often over deaths.D. Men are more likely to have tears of joy.14. What does the author think of his crying over his dog’s death?A. A sign of strength.B. A sign of weakness.C. Behavior of being womanish.D. A way of reducing emotional stress.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Men, never cry like womenB. Men, it’s OK to cry sometimesC. Crying solves psychological problemsD. Crying explains differences between men and women第二节七选五What Type of College is Right for You?When deciding what colleges to apply for, you may feel stressed about what type of campus you want to live and study on. 16 Do you want to know everybody at your school, or are you looking for more of a college town experience where you meetnew people every day?17 Are you looking for a liberal arts (文科) school or a more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focused college? Maybe you want to attend a school more specific to what you may want to do in the future, like a music or art based school. Another aspect or factor into your decision is the kinds of activities the college offers. 18Once you start collecting a list of places you are thinking about, the next thing to do is to consult your college counselors and start your applications. When applying to college, make sure to get help and advice from the college counselors, who always have their doors open to keep students on track when it comes to the college process. 19 Keeping them up to date on how far along you are in the process will help the college counselors get their job done and make your application a success.Once those applications are in, the hardest part comes next: waiting. 20 As soon as the results come out, you will know which school is right for you, whether it is your top choice or something else down your list.A. The next step is finding what college suits you academically.B. They also invite students to email any question they may have.C. One of the first things that colleges look at is your past school record.D. This is also the time to reflect on which college you are hoping to get into.E. Sports, the arts and other interests can be a huge part in determining the right school.F. Choosing between a larger or smaller campus is the first step to narrow down whichcollege is right for you.G. You should be thinking well in advance about which teachers you want to writerecommendations to.完形填空As I walked through the door, I felt sharp coldness.

武邑中学2021-2021学年高一英语下学期课练15〔实验班〕第I 卷〔100分〕阅读理解AA sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write skillfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift〞 rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They feel that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. Such people often say, “I’m not any good at writing〞or “English was not one of my good subjects.〞 They imply that they simply do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and when they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chiefly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talent〞 needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probably will not learn how to write effectively.A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that writing is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to learn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensively.Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a challenge it is to transferthoughts and feelings from one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing—and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writing comes from hard work—from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know.21. Why do some people think writing is difficult?A. They have no time to practice writing.B. They believe few people can write well.C. They have no good teachers to help them.D. They don’t think writing can be learned.22. It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ________.A. “natural gift〞is the determining factor in one’s successB. diligence can result in successC. a person without “natural gift〞 is sure to fail in writingD. attitude determines what one will be23. What is the topic of the passage?A. Why writing is important.B. Whether writing is a born gift.C. Benefits of essay writing.D. How to improve writing skills.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak (浸入) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco friendly “green〞 way to treat storm water.Wha t’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establish the necessary root system, they will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don’t need to be a professionally environmental engineerto create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.24. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.C. They can beautify the community.D. They improve the environment.25. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.B. They can keep the rain and storm water.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.26. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that ________.A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to comeC. they require little care from the local gardenerD. they are more used to the local growing conditions27. What do we know about rain gardens?A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos from Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the phone owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Apple’s case, develop ers can also obtain the location information for each photo.Senator (参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his office had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Monday.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having access to private information,〞 Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendly and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.〞On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to the Federal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Claudia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agency had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, a ddress book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even posted online without permission,〞 Mr. Schumer wrote in his letter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to this kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to close it, and that’s exactly what must happen.〞Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an agreement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take the issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his office to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed without any regulation,〞 he said.“If it’s not changed, then we’ll turn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider legislative approach.〞The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant (警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to privacy.28. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _______.A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private information.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking photos.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for each photo.29. Which of the following statements is True?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.30. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows t hat the technology to openthe door to privacy invasion _______.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.B. can be used if permitted.C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal information.D. causes personal information to be posted online without permission.31. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.DA sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend—a dog who carries her oxygen tan k on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxygen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs〞 from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.32. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefighter.33. When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.34. The underlined part “the couple〞 in paragraph 3 refers to _______.A. Alida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC. Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets35. How did Alida keep alive?A. By training her dog.B. By staying with her parents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube.EParents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. 36 According to a recent research, the most common argument between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. 37 On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for dropping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different approaches to these problems. 38 For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but later clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.39 Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. 40 It is only by listening toand understanding each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.A. There are many reasons for this.B. Communication is a two-way process.C. On the one hand, parents go mad over messy rooms.D. However, some approaches are more successful than others.E. It is better for children and parents to understand each other.F. Then again, teenagers have similar feelings about their parents.G. Psychologists say that communication is the most important thing in parent-child relationships.完形填空The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was ____41____, and I’d been in an argument with a friend.

武邑中学2021-2021学年高一英语下学期课练4〔实验班〕创作人:历恰面日期:2020年1月1日AIt was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White pl ay. The two didn’t know each other well —Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eye rolled back,〞 Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.〞It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?〞CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,〞 says Taylor.Ta ylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Twomore ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,〞Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.〞Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,〞 Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.〞56.What happened to Paris on a March day?A. She caught a bad cold.B. She had a sudden heart problem.C. She was knocked down by a ball.D. She shivered terribly during practice57.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A. She made a worthy friend.B.

But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity〞, which protects the peoplewho get hurt easily, inc luding those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption〔豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks. 63.The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.A.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC.anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD.information about measles spreads quickly64.Herd immunity works well when ____________.A.exemptions are allowed B.several vaccines are used together C.the whole neighborhood is involved in D.new regulations are added to the state laws65.What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A.The overuse of vaccine. B.The lack of medical care.C.The features of measles itself. D.The vaccine opt-outs of some people. 66.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce the idea of exemption. B.To discuss methods to cure measles. C.To stress the importance of vaccination. D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.完型Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man 36 out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that and her mother said thatthe man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very 37 .She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah startedto think about how she could 38 ,but,of course, there is not a lot onefive-year-old can do to solve(解决)the problem of homelessness.Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was awoman, 39 an old shopping trolley〔购物车〕which was piled with 40 . It seemedthat everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very sad, and even more 41 to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of homeless people 42 they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that ifshe did something to change the problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t 43 as bad.Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to 44 her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foudation ,an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness. She began to 45 “Big Bosses〞 lunches, where she would try to persuade local business leadersto 46 to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募捐)drive in “Ladybug Jars〞to collect everyone`s spare change during “Make Change〞 month. More recently, the foundation began another 47 called National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support of Canada`s 48 and homeless.There is an emergency shelter in Winn ipeg called “Hannah`s Place〞, somethingthat Hannah is very 49 of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that 50 outdoors can mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she has received a lot of51 .For example, she received the 2021 BRICK Award recognizing the 52 of young people to change the world.

When it was her turn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 31 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 the holidays.〞 Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heart 34 . I wanted t o help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to 35 her groceries or ask for her husband’s situation?36 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought might help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an 37 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life 38 .My heart beat faster as I 39 the woman. “Excuse me,〞 I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashie r. It sounds like you’re going through a really 40 time right now. I’m so sorry, but I’d like to give you something.〞I took a small card out of my purse and 41 it to her.When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And throug h her 42 , she said, “You have no idea how much this 43 to me.〞I was a little 44 by her reply. Having never done anything like this before,I didn’t know what kind of 45 I might receive. All I could think to respond was, “Oh! Would it be OK to give you a 46 ?〞After we hugged 47 , I walked back to my car — and began to cry too.The words on the card?“You Matter.〞A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 48 for a projectI was working on.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with chipmunks —small American animals similar to squirrels with black lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent six months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the p ark’s phone and radio system from a room in the basement.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the suspended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the opposite direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tails, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a shadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,〞 a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.〞After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accustomed to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the workplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviors provided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other across our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light panels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phone as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just in time to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the desk. I picked up the phone, preparing to explain the crash, the scream, the dropped phone, and the laughing to the listener who was about to visit the park.“I’m sorry, but you’re not going to believe what just happened.〞I don’t think he did.1.

In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly ground-breaking,〞 said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.〞Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal ticklin g. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.〞 They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors hav e been very adventurous,〞said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?〞 he said. “This is the first s tep towards answering that question. It gives us a way to approach it with experimental rigor(严谨).〞6. What contributed to humans’ being ticklish according to Aristotle?A. Their special skin.B. Their social pleasure.C.

A New Discovery about RatCAfter shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday〞, or online on “Cyber Monday〞, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday〞. Starting in 2021, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y,a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2021, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $ 1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!11. Which of the following has the shortest history?A. Giving Tuesday.B. Black Friday.C. Thanksgiving Day.D. Cyber Monday.12. What’s the main purpose of “Giving Tuesday〞?A. To make Thanksgiving Day enjoyable.B. To encourage more people to do charities.C.

My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in and he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Nine months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me.The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two years when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's face was inches from mine.“What are you doing?〞 I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He reached down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,〞 he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been beside me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confident woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced〔刺穿〕 my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richard how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15. When the author looked into the mirror, she found herself ______.A. beautifulB. confidentC. untidyD. unusual16. Why did the author’s mother and her two children have to move?A.

Afterwards, several students had a tea party with some teachers or other students, talking about our old days and school life today. Unknowingly, several hours passed.

武邑中学2021-2021学年高一英语下学期课练11〔实验班〕第一局部阅读理解AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discounted model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2.Which of the following can best replace the phrase〞signed off〞in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. By having it repaired.4. How does the another sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious〔难为情〕when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories〔卡路里〕per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake〔摄入〕 jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people_________.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off〞 between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,〞 he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% ofstudents are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,〞 he said.9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year______.A. arc better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new term.C. Earn money for their education.D.

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练13(实验班)

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练13(实验班)AI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I hada smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, howev er, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but a s I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in th eir hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my ca r. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collec ting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tat toos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been bolstered. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their a ppearance.Our society often judges books by their covers but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we w ill all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps o ne day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.21. The wr iter’s good mood ended when _______.A. he hear news between songsB. he had to stop at a red traffic lightC. he heard a rich man broke the lawD. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need22.

Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the I nternet, cellphones,including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can b e called. The policy also restated the existing recommendatio ns: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainm ent to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 sh ouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms.Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. “If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician and a n AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?”Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours an d 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, m usic, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2 010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minut es a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found.Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new rep ort from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of c hildren 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.25.

It’s beneficial to their health.B. It’s essential to parenting t heir kids.C. It’s beneficial to their work.D. It’s essential to develop go od relationship with their kids.27. What can be inferred according to the report from the Kais er Family Foundation?A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic de vices as they like in their homes.B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun.28. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kidsB. No use, no worryC. Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic mediaD.

I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whet her we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful ho use? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.Q: How do you get along with your parents?A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in anoth er city. My only contact with my parents now is through the ph one, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only.

Profe ssor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, sa ys that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.Supported by his research, he suggested that when predictin g future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by I Q tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest stude nts in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that E Q is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that peo ple have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that thos e with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was po ssible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “peop le skills”, such as understanding and communication.Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on sen ior high school students. When some normal students were in troduced to some disabled students, they found that afterward s they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the sa me time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQsoften have positive attitudes towards life and are open to diffe rent ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. P lease remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.33. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?A. How a person tests his / her brainpower.B. A person’s character.C. How smart a person is.D. A person’s IQ.34. What did the professor find from his study of normal stude nts being introduced to some disabled children?A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new thing s.B. There was no change in the normal students.C. The disabled students became more positive and more ea ger to try new things.D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.35. Which of the following would be the best title of this passa ge?A. A person’s brainpower.B. IQ, EQ and success.C. IQ and a person’s character.D. A person’sIQ and EQ.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。

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练14(实验班)

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练14(实验班)ASome students get so nervous before an exam that they do p oorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock , a psycholo gy professor at the University of Chicago , has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them fro m getting into the college they want. And when we worry , it a ctually uses up attention and memory resources that you coul d otherwise be using to focus on the exam.” says Sian Beilock .The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious coll ege students. They gave them two short math exams. After th e first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.The researchers added to the pressure. They told the student s that those who did well on the second exam would get mon ey. They also told that performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had wr itten about their fears improved their performance by an avera ge of 5%.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology clas s. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote ab out their feelings got an average grade of B* , compared with a B* for those who did not.But what can they do if students do not have a chance to writ e about their fears immediately before an exam or presentatio n? Professor Beklock says students can try it themselves at h ome or in the library and they can still improve their performan ce.21.According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam you should .A. be as serious as you can about the examB. focus your a ttention on the examC. set clear study goals and keep themD. make a careful prep aration for the exam22. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “”A. looking for a chanceB. preparing for the examC. writing about the feelingsD. taking the exam23. If a student writes about his feelings before an exam, he .A. will improve his exam resultB. can keep a good me mory of the examC. will get support from his teachersD. will forget what he has prepared for the examBFirst Day at SchoolIt was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered, what questions t he other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: "I am nine yearsold. I was born here but I haven't lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It's about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago." I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the cen ter of the playground, expecting someone to say "hello", but n o one spoke to me.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the c lass, so I didn't stand out there, either, until the first lesson of t he afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens , s o he asked several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the cl ass, said: "Timbuktu" and Mr. Jones went red in the face. The n he asked me. I said :"Portsmouth" and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn't make me v ery popular, of course. He thinks he's clever," I heard Brian sa y.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I wa s in Brian's team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind beca use he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the go alkeeper."He's big enough and useless enough," Brian said when som eone asked him why he had chosen me.As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian to ok out a handkerchief and offered it to me."Do you want to join my gang (team)?" he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.24. The writer prepared to answer all of the following question s EXCEPT "_______".A. How old are you?B. where are you from?C. Do you want to join my gang?D. When did you come ba ck to London?25. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsB. the writer was not greeted as he expectedC. Brian praised the writer for his clevernessD. the writer w as glad to be a goalkeeper26. The underlined part "I didn't stand out" in paragraph 3 me ans that the writer was not _______.A. reliableB. nervousC. importantD. noticeable27. The writer was offered a handkerchief because _______.A. he was in Brian’s teamB. he was no longer a new comerC. he was beginning to be acceptedD. he pushed a player on the other teamCTo most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School i n Massachusetts, school is very different.Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers-only "staff members". The idea behind this is that you do not n eed to make children learn, because children want to learn an yway." You do not need to say to a three-year-old, 'Go explore your environment.' You can't stop them!" say s Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school." But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste of lea rning."At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read , paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the pian o, climb trees, just run around. Two boys spent three years ju st fishing!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that t he children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a schoo l meeting where both children and staff have one vote each-even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school b udget, and even which staff they want and do not want any m ore.When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fish ing all thetime have successful careers today. One of them is a musici an and the other is a computer scientist.28. What is the main topic of the article?A. An unusual school.B. Children’s hobbies.C. A school without rules.D. Education in the US.29. What does the school believe?A. Teachers cannot teach children well.B. Children learn best when they do what they want to do.C. Learning is for adults-children should only play.D. Children should only learn about one thing at a time.30. What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?A. They love learning.B. They are very naughty.C. They want to be outside all the time.D. They are too you ng to learn anythings.31. Who has the most power in the school meetings?A.The older children have more power than the younger childr en.B. A child has more power than an ad ult.C. The younger children have more power than the older child ren.D. Everybody has equal power.DMost of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before.We want to make everyone comfortable and at e ase, but we do always get the same questions in advance of t rip. So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?If you’re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and F ebruary, pack a sweater. Y ou’ll need it-the desert gets rather cold at night. During the day, the tempe rature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pac k as if you’re going to Phoenix of Vegas in August. For the lad ies, bathing suits are normal if there's a pool where you are going, but leave the string bikini at ho me –it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you are planning on visi ting any mosques(清真寺)or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on brin ging something that comes at least to the elbow(肘部), and no shorts for men of women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is and Evian Mister, a sprayer (喷雾器)with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face of head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 or 15 degr ees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra ba tteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Lu xor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your p hone, you should be able to use it-AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure, but make sure you have the international cov erage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need cove rage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile , but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in E gypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge. ” The thing that g ets rid of Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicin e, and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box . DON’T dr ink local water. DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fres h vegetables, and y ou’ll be fine.32. What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A. String bikinisB. Bathing suitsC. Long-sleeve clothes D. Shorts.33. What’s the use of an Evian Mister?A. To relieve your thirst.B. To cool yourself down.C. To prevent sunburns.D. To drive away insects.34. What information is provided about distance communicati on?A. A cell phone is enough for most people.B. AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C. A satellite phone does n’t work in Mid-Egypt. D. Internet cafes are only available in big cities.35.The purpose of this passage is to .A. describe a journey to Egypt to the touristsB. attract more possible tourists to the journeyC. warn readers of the awful insects in EgyptD. offer some practical tips on traveling in Egypt第二节(共5小题;每小题10分)How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest: ___36__. Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clift on Park, N.Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing. Then she married a circus clown (小丑). "I became interested in the clowns," she recalls "One day, I put on a costume and paint my face. That afternoon my who le life changed. I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before." __37___ To this day, she still makes it a r ule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing.__38___ It doesn't take you too much time and can be easy. C ollect favorite cartoons and jokes. Also, keep a paper for writi ng down humor you find in everyday life.

"And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it," he insists.Gray Alan, a sociology professor at the University ofMinnesota, claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain-because it comes naturally. __40___ Just remember: we are j ust here for a period, so get a few laughs.A. You can soften the worst blows through humor.B. Mix with people who laugh.C. Practise the art of laughing.D. Keep a laughter file(文件).E. He who laughs last laughs best.F.

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练15(实验班)

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练15(实验班)第I 卷(100分)阅读理解AA sure way to destroy your chances of learning how to write s killfully is to believe that writing is a “natural gift” rather than a learned skill. People with such an attitude think that they are the only ones for whom writing is unbearably difficult. They fe el that everyone else finds writing easy or at least tolerable. S uch people often say, “I’m not any good at writing” or “English was not one of my good subjects.” They imply that they simpl y do not have a talent for writing while others do. The result of this attitude is that these people try to avoid writing, and whe n they do write, they don’t try their best. Their writing fails chie fly because they believe that they don’t have the “natural talen t” needed to write. Unless their attitude changes, they probabl y will not learn how to write effectively.A realistic attitude about writing must build on the idea that wri ting is a skill. It is a skill like driving, typing, or cooking; and, like any skill, it can be learned. If you have the determination to l earn, you will develop your writing skills by practicing extensiv ely.Many people find it difficult to do the active thinking that clear writing demands. It is frustrating to discover how much of a ch allenge it is to transfer thoughts and feelings from one’s head onto a sheet of paper. But writing is not an automatic process: We will not get something for nothing—and we should not expect to. For almost everyone, skillful writi ng comes from hard work—from determination and sweat. The good news is that the skill of writing can be mastered, and if you are ready to work, you will learn what you need to know.21. Why do some people think writing is difficult?A. They have no time to practice writing.B. They believe fe w people can write well.C. They have no good teachers to help them.D. They don’t t hink writing can be learned.22. It can be inferred from Para. 1 that ________.A. “natural gift” is the determining factor in one’s successB. diligence can result in successC. a person without “natural gift” is sure to fail in writingD. attitude determines what one will be23. What is the topic of the passage?A. Why writing is important.B. Whether writing is a born gift.C. Benefits of essay writing.D. How to improve writing skills.BBesides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants t hat beautify the community, ecofriendly rain gardens are healt hy for the environment and the people living and working near by.A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It i s just a far more ecofriendly garden. Usually it is built lower th an the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and stor m water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms an d letting it soak (浸入) slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply.Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants inthe rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby st reams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a sim ple, attractive, and ecofriendly “green” way to treat storm wate r.What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution an d improve the environment. Without using expensive machine ry and chemicals, rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in t he rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reachin g streams and rivers by up to 30%.Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because the y are more used to the local climate, soil, and water condition s. They may attract localwildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediat ely after planting and once a week, unless you have had at le ast an inch of rain during the week. Once native plants establi sh the necessary root system, they will require little care. Often, local governments and private businesses develop larg e rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to i mprove the environment and solve flooding problems. Howev er, you don’t need to be a professionally environmentalengineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re ecoconsc ious homeowners, you can help the environment by building s maller rain gardens in your yards.24. Which of the following is NOT true for the function of rain gardens?A. They are good for living conditions.B. They increase pollution.C. They can beautify the community.D. They improve the environment.25. Which of the following is the ecofriendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4 ?A. They can help reduce the pollution problem.B. They can keep the rain and storm water.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.26. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommen ded is that ________.A. they cost less and are much easier to getB. they may attract local wildlife to comeC. they require little care from the local gardenerD. they are more used to the local growing conditions27. What do we know about rain gardens?A. They need little water after all the plants are planted.B. They may attract local birds and change the local climate.C. They usually need at least an inch of rainwater a week.D. They may reduce the water pollution problem by 70%.CIt was reported last week that developers could take photos fr om Apple mobile and Google Android devices without the pho ne owners knowing that the images were being taken. In Appl e’s case, developers can also obtain the location information f or each photo.Senator (参议员) Charles Schumer said in a telephone interview that his offi ce had spoken with officials at both Apple and Google on Mon day.“We asked them if they could find a way on their own to prevent Apple from having acces s to private information,” Mr. Schumer said. “They were friendl y and open to the idea that this ought to be changed.”On Sunday, Mr. Schumer said that he planned to send a letter to theFederal Trade Commission asking the agency to investigate Apple and Google after the privacy concerns came to light. Cl audia Bourne Farrell, an F.T.C. spokeswoman, said the agen cy had received the letter but she could not comment further.“It worries people to think that one’s personal photos, address book, and who knows what else can be obtained and even p osted online without permission,” Mr. Schumer wrote in his let ter to the F. T.C. “If the technology exists to open the door to t his kind of privacy invasion, then surely technology exists to cl ose it, and that’s exactly what must happen.”Mr. Schumer said if Apple and Google could not come to an a greement to fix the problem, then he would be forced to take t he issue further.He said other companies had been willing to work with his offi ce to fix issues. “I’m optimistic that we can get this changed wi thout any regulation,” he said. “If it’s not changed, then we’ll tu rn to the F.T.C., and if that doesn’t work then we’ll consider le gislative approach.”The F.T.C. has warned companies to try to be more vigilant (警醒的) in their efforts to protect consumers when it comes to priv acy.28. The senators spoke with officials at both Apple and Google _______.A. to urge them not to invade consumers’ privacy.B. to discuss whether it is illegal to have access to private info rmation.C. to stop them from developing the technology of taking phot os.D. to keep them from obtaining the location information for ea ch photo.29. Which of the following statements is True?A. Privacy invasion from Apple has existed for a long time.B. Mr. Schumer takes the privacy concerns caused by Apple and Google seriously.C. Privacy invasion from Google has existed for a long time.D. Apple and Google have decided to make a change.30. Mr. Schumer’s letter to the F.T.C. mainly shows that the te chnology to open the door to privacy invasion _______.A. causes privacy invasion to happen frequently.B. can be used if permitted.C. causes people to worry about the safety of their personal in formation.D. causes personal information to be posted online without pe rmission.31. Where can we read about the passage?A. In a newspaper.B. In a magazine.C. In a science report.D. In a textbook.DA sick little girl is being kept alive thanks to her best friend—a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to sheph erd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in , uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infan cy (NEHI) when she was just eight months old. Her rare condi tion has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout t he world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter oxy gen through extra layers of cells, making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida an d her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the you ngster to be able to carry herself. As parents, they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a t ube following her all the time. The couple found out about “ser vice dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained t o help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally fou nd help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever crossed with a poodle-dog Mr Gibbs. Now thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.32. What is Mr Gibbs?A. A pet dog.B. A policeman.C. A doctor.D. A firefi ghter.33. When did the doctor know Alida caught the disease?A. At her birth.B. At the age of eight.C. Before she was one year old.D. When she was three years old.34. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to _ ______.A. Alida’s classmatesB. Alida’s parentsC. Alida’s doctorsD. Alida’s pets35. How did Alida keep alive?A.By training her dog. B. By staying with her par ents.C. By playing with her fellows.D. By breathing through a tube.EParents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. 36 A ccording to a recent research, the most common argument be tween parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. 37 On the other hand, teenagers los e their patience continually when parents blame them for drop ping the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room. The research, conducted by , shows that different parents ha ve different approaches to these problems. 38 For exam ple, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness , but later clean the room for them, have fewer chances of cha nging their children’s behavior. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the thrills of their actions can do better.39 Parents should talk to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. 40 It is only by listening to and understanding each other that p roblems between parents and children can be settled.A. There are many reasons for this.B. Communication is a two-way process.C. On the one hand, parents go mad over messy rooms.D. However, some approaches are more successful than othe rs.E. It is better for children and parents to understand each other.F. Then again, teenagers have similar feelings about their par ents.G. Psychologists say that communication is the most importa nt thing in parent-child relationships.完形填空The morning had been a disaster.

2017-2018学年高一英语下学期课练16(实验班)I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who look ed to be in her 60s. When it was herturn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 31 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 t he holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heart 34 .

And through her 42 , she said, “Y ou have no idea how much this 43 to me.”I was a little 44 by her reply. Having never done anything lik e this before, I didn’t know what kind of 45 I might receive. All I could think to respond was, “Oh! Would it be OK to give y ou a 46 ?”After we hugged 47 , I walked back to my car — and began to cry too.The words on the card?“You Matter.”A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as 48for a project I was working on.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with chi pmunks — small American animals similar to squirrels with bl ack lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent si x months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the park’s phone and radio system from a room in the baseme nt.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the susp ended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the oppo site direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tail s, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a s hadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,” a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.”After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accusto med to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the w orkplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviorsprovided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other acro ss our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light pa nels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phon e as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just intime to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the d esk.

My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in a nd he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Ni ne months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me. The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two y ears when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's f ace was inches from mine.“What are you doing?” I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He rea ched down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,” he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been be side me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confiden t woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced(刺穿) my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richar d how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15.

I couldn’t describe how I felt. But something special among the debris (废墟) turned my day around.I joined a club to clean up the beach after the storm last November. As I removed the debris from the beach, I noticed an object with shiny buttons in the wet sand. It was a jacket, and I was excited since Halloween was coming and I thought I had found a great costume. After picking it up, I was able to see that the jacket was from West Point (西点HY校), the United States Military Academy, and it had the name “deGavre〞 written inside. I realized the jacket might be important to someone. I decided to find the jacket’s owner and return it.I called the West Point Muse um, considering that if the family couldn’t be found, the jacket should go there. The museum connected me with Kim McDermott, Director of Communications for the Academy’s Association of Graduates. Kim soon ensured that the jacket had belonged to Chester Braddock deGavre, who was a 1933 graduate and a war hero, but passed away in 1993.I sent Kim a photo of the jacket and she posted it to the West Point Association of Graduates Facebook Page, asking if anyone could help us find the family. In less than two h ours, someone had found and called the hero’s wife, Teresa. Soon I started to receive personal messages from members of the deGavre family, their friends and others who were touched by the story and they found me on Facebook.Finding Chester deGavre’s jack et and connecting to his family with the help ofFacebook have been so meaningful to me. I’ve formed a bond with amazing people I might have never met.4. Seeing the sight after the storm, the author felt very ________.A. sadB. surprisedC. nervousD. disappointed5. What did the author think at first after he saw the jacket?A. He should try to find its owner.B. He could wear it for Halloween.C. He should return it to West Point.D.

Because the workers there needed the jacket.D. Because the jacket might be collected by the museum.7. According to the text, who was Kim McDermott?A. He happened to be the owner of the jacket.B. He was a student graduating from West Point.C. He was someone who could find a record of the graduates.D. He was a family member of the author.CThe human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we’re sitting while we’re eating;we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere.However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often, “We can’t throw away physical activity. It’s extremely important. We have 60 years of research showing us that.〞Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.〞 They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk〞 lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.〞 A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make afew changes in their own lives.8.

We cry when we can’t holdinside what we feel any more. We cry when we’re at our best, and when we’re at ourworst. By we, I mean all of us -- men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptablefor men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it’s reserved for grandvictories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things -- deaths, break-ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit,I’m a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog -- a loyal companion -- was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that there’s a certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other way to express ourselves.In those days after my d og’s death, I remember thinking, “I’ve got to stop this crying〞. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I’ve since realized that tears are for everybody; they’re not gender-specific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.12. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Crying is a raw human emotion.B. Crying is an emotion beyond control.C. Crying is an emotion showing sadness.D. Crying is an emotion showing happiness.13. What’s the diff erence between men and women in crying according to Dutch research?A. They cry over different matters.B. They cry at different times of life.C. Women cry more often over deaths.D. Men are more likely to have tears of joy.14. What does the autho r think of his crying over his dog’s death?A. A sign of strength.B. A sign of weakness.C. Behavior of being womanish.D. A way of reducing emotional stress.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Men, never cry like womenB. Men, it’s OK to cry sometimesC. Crying solves psychological problemsD. Crying explains differences between men and women第二节七选五What Type of College is Right for You?When deciding what colleges to apply for, you may feel stressed about what type of campus you want to live and study on. 16 Do you want to know everybody at your school, or are you looking for more of a college town experience where you meet new people every day?17 Are you looking for a liberal arts (文科) school or a more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focused college? Maybe you want to attend a school more specific to what you may want to do in the future, like a music or art based school. Another aspect or factor into your decision is the kinds of activities thecollege offers. 18Once you start collecting a list of places you are thinking about, the next thing to do is to consult your college counselors and start your applications. When applying to college, make sure to get help and advice from the college counselors, who always have their doors open to keep students on track when it comes to the college process.19 Keeping them up to date on how far along you are in the process will help the college counselors get their job done and make your application a success.Once those applications are in, the hardest part comes next: waiting. 20 As soon as the results come out, you will know which school is right for you, whether it is your top choice or something else down your list.A. The next step is finding what college suits you academically.B. They also invite students to email any question they may have.C. One of the first things that colleges look at is your past school record.D. This is also the time to reflect on which college you are hoping to get into.E. Sports, the arts and other interests can be a huge part in determining the right school.F. Choosing between a larger or smaller campus is the first step to narrow down whichcollege is right for you.G.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure —those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 meres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometer an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs (悬崖).Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people’s lives were constantly in danger. Th ey had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured,and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.56. More and more people today______.A. are coming close to death in sportsB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are trying activities such as bungee jumpingD. are traveling into unknown parts of the world57. In bungee jumping, you ______.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. tie yourself to a rope and fall to the groundD. fall towards the ground without any protection58. People take part in dangerous sports mainly because______.A. they have a lot of free timeB. their life is short of excitementC. they no longer need to hunt for foodD. they can go to hospital if they are injured59. The best title for the text is ______.A. Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB. The Boredom of Modern LifeC. Bungee Jumping: It is really DangerousD. The Need for ExcitementBYou may think that sailing is difficult, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourse lf, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?〞 You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind. This mea ns the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best. If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking (作“之〞字形航行). When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.60. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of the sail.61. What does the underlined word “It〞 in Para 4 refer to?A. The sail.B. The wind.C. The boat.D. The angle.62. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.63. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?A. To advise you to go sailing.B. To teach you how to go sailing.C. To show the danger of sailing.D. To tell the difficulty of sailing.CIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockagesthat give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.64. What can we learn from the text?A. Rude drivers should be punished.B. Road politeness is more than good manners.C. Strict traffic regulations are badly needed.D. Drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams.65. It is not always right for drivers to _______. .A. master roadmanshipB. recognize politeness when they see itC. encourage old ladies to cross the roads firstD. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness66. The underlined word “give-and-take〞 probably means ______.A. politeness and impolitenessB. good manners and bad mannersC. offering help to others as much as possibleD. willingness to give in to each other’s wishes67. What is the best title of the passage?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic ProblemsC. Bad Manners on the RoadD. Good Drivers and Bad DriverDPeople often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, andthat's actually quite true. 68 After all, making a good first impression isall about making others feel good when spending time with them.The following tipswill help you make a positive impression every time.● Dress appropriately69 That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations.It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.● Be aware of your body languageWords express very little of what you say.Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. 70 Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special.Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious.Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.● Respect the opinions of othersNot everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreementscan be a gateway to a great conversation.Respect other people's right to have their own opinion.Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 71● 72People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation.By listening carefully to what others are saying, youare not only making them feel important, but you can gather cues you need to keepthe conversation going and bridge to new topics.A.Be a careful listener.B.Show an interest in every person you meet.C.Smile especially when first meeting someone.D.Make sure you look nice whenever you meet someone new.E.Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.F.Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.G.Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them语法填空There was once a small boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to, nor would he wear what they wanted him to.

武邑中学2021-2021学年高一英语下学期课练16〔实验班〕I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier(收银员) 31 her by name and asked her how she was doing. The woman looked down, shook her hand and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my 32 son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to 33 the holidays.〞 Then she gave the cashier food stamps.My heart 34 . I wanted t o help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to 35 her groceries or ask for her husband’s situation?36 I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought might help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an 37 of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life 38 .My heart beat faster as I 39 the woman. “Excuse me,〞 I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashie r. It sounds like you’re going through a really 40 time right now. I’m so sorry, but I’d like to give you something.〞I took a small card out of my purse and 41 it to her.When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And throug h her 42 , she said, “You have no idea how much this 43 to me.〞I was a little 44 by her reply. Having never done anything like this before,I didn’t know what kind of 45 I might receive.

But I’m not sure harmonizing with chipmunks —small American animals similar to squirrels with black lines on their fur — was what he had in mind.During my years with the US National Park Service, I spent six months working in a visitor center designed by Wright’s firm. Several other employees and I staffed the p ark’s phone and radio system from a room in the basement.I was sitting at my desk when I first heard a sound in the suspended ceiling. Dark shapes moved fast across the light panel(光板) above my head. Moments later, they ran back in the opposite direction, leaving me with an impression of noses and tails, each tail followed by another nose. It was like watching a shadow puppet(皮影) performance, but with real animals.“Baby chipmunks,〞 a fellow told me. “They live in the ceiling.〞After four summers working in the parks, I had grown accustomed to sharing indoor space with wildlife. Chipmunks in the workplace even seemed to be a joy; their behaviors provided a bit of stress relief on difficult days.As summer progressed, the shadows chasing each other across our lights grew bigger. Their movement across the light panels had become more of an athletic running.I had just answered a call one day when I heard a loud sound, and a ceiling panel fell down on my head. I dropped the phone as I fell out of my office chair, looking up just in time to see a brown tail disappear over the gap in the ceiling.I pulled myself off the carpet, laughing with my co-workers, and noticed the phone hanging over the side of the desk. I picked up the phone, preparing to explain the crash, the scream, the dropped phone, and the laughing to the listener who was about to visit the park.“I’m sorry, but you’re not going to believe what just happened.〞I don’t think he did.1. What does the author probably do?A. He’s a visitor.B. He’s a biologist.C. He’s an architect.D. He’s a consultant.2. What were the chipmunks doing when the author found them for the first time?A. They were chasing each other.B. They were making their home.C. They were jumping onto the lights.D. They were climbing up to the ceiling.3. How did the author feel about seeing chipmunks in his office?A. Scared.B. Curious.C. Pleased.D. Shocked.4. What was the main cause of the accident when the author was making a phone call?A. The chipmunks were fighting on the panel.B. The panel couldn’t bear the chipmunks’ weight.C. Something hit the ceiling from high above.D. The suspended ceiling was not firm.5. Who was the author talking to over the phone?A. One of his friends.B. Frank Lloyd Wright.C. A future park visitor.D. One of his colleagues.BBy trying to tickle(挠痒痒) rats and recording how their nerve cells respond, Shimpei Ishiyama and his adviser are discovering a mystery that has puzzled thinkers since Aristotle expected that humans, given their thin skin and unique ability to laugh, were the only ticklish animals.It turns out that Aristotle was wrong. In their study published on Thursday, Ishiyama and his adviser Michael Brecht found that rats squeaked and jumped with pleasure when tickled on their backs and bellies. These signs of joy changed according to their moods. And for the first time, they discovered a special group of nerve cells. These nerve cells made this feeling so powerful that it causes an individual being tickled to lose control.To make sure that he had indeed found a place in the brain where tickling was processed, Ishiyama then stimulated(刺激) that area with electrical currents. The rats began to jump like rabbits and sing like birds.“It’s truly ground-breaking,〞 said Jeffrey Burgdorf, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University who reviewed the paper. “It takes the study of emotion to a new level.〞Burgdorf has played a central role in our understanding of animal ticklin g. He was part of a team that first noticed, in the late 1990s, that rats made special noises when they were experiencing social pleasure. Others had already noted that rats repeatedly made short and high sounds during meals. But the lab where Burgdorf worked noticed that they emitted similar sounds while playing. And so one day, the senior scientist in the lab said, “Let’s go and tickle some rats.〞 They quickly found that those cries of pleasure doubled.“The authors hav e been very adventurous,〞said Daniel O’Connor, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University who studies touch. To him, that finding was very surprising.“Why does the world literally feel different when you are stressed out?〞 he said. “This is the first s tep towards answering that question.

A New Discovery about RatCAfter shopping for deals in stores on “Black Friday〞, or online on “Cyber Monday〞, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday〞. Starting in 2021, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y,a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable seasonand therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2021, 700,000 people from 71 countries came together to donate $116.7 million in cash. An additional $ 1.08 million was spent on gifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!11. Which of the following has the shortest history?A. Giving Tuesday.B.

Culture.D. Business.DMy newlywed husband said the same thing every morning. “You're beautiful today.〞One glance in the mirror showed that it was far from the truth.“Liar,〞 I shot back with a grin.It was my usual response. My mother's first husband was not a kind man and his verbal (语言的) and physical abuse forced her and her two children to find a safe place. He showed up on her doorstep one day with roses. She let him in and he beat her with those roses and took advantage of her. Nine months later she gave birth to a 9 lb. 13oz. baby girl -- me.The rude words we heard growing up took root. I had trouble seeing myself as someone of value. I had been married two years when I surprised myself. My husband wrapped his arms around me and told me I was beautiful.A lot of years have passed. My husband has grey in his hair. I'm no longer skinny. Last week I woke up and my husband's face was inches from mine.“What are you doing?〞 I asked.I covered my mouth, trying to hide my morning breath. He reached down and kissed my face.“What I do every morning,〞 he said.What a man! My husband understands my past. He's been beside me as I've grown from an unsure young girl to a confident woman, mother, speaker and author.But I'm not sure that he understands the part he played in that transformation. The words I heard growing up pierced〔刺穿〕 my soul, yet his words pierced even deeper.This Anniversary Day I plan to wake early. I want to tell Richard how much I love him. He may look in the mirror and see an extra pound or two, or wish for the day when his hair was dark and curly, but all I'll see is the man who saw something in me when I couldn't see it myself, and who leaves butterfly kisses, even after twenty-three years of marriage.15. When the author looked into the mirror, she found herself ______.A. beautifulB. confidentC. untidyD. unusual16. Why did the author’s mother and her two children have to move?A. Because their house was too small.B. Because they were not well treated by the husband.C. Because they were expecting another baby.D. Because her mother’s husband wanted them to move.17. As a young girl, the author ______.A. was married earlyB. had a happy childhoodC. looked for root everywhereD. lacked confidence in herself18. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the author’s husband had a positive influence on her lifeB. the author played an important part in the changeC. they have been married for 23 yearsD. the author’s husband has gained some weight19. The underlined phrase “the words〞 in the last b ut one paragraph refers to ______.A. her own wordsB. her husband’s wordsC. her mother’s wordsD. her father’s words语篇 Nowadays,the ice bucket challenge is among the___1.____ (hot) news of a11.It is an activity____2.____(hold)by an American charity organization.It not only helps the sick people to get the money to heal their disease,but also makes more and more people aware_____3____the disease,so that they can give more care to the patients.Ice bucket challenge is like the epidemic(流行病),____4____becomes popular around the world very_____5____(quick).The starter holds the activity,____6____(hope)people can experience the ALS patients’ pain.In the activity,people need to pour the ice water down from their heads,and then propose another three people.They can either choose to accept the challenge_____7____ donate 100 dollars,or do the both.The ALS makes people’s muscles become hard.It is hard for the patients to move.Stephen Hocking is one of the ____8_____(suffer).Ice bucket challengeis____9____great success.Until now,a big donation___10___(receive).改错〔1〕As is known to us, fewer and fewer students do sports regularly, that makes them weak and easily tired.

Afterwards, several students had a tea party with some teachers or other students, talking about our old days and school life today. Unknowingly, several hours passed.

The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphi ns in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United St ates, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach t hem. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return t o the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken in to a pool and killed.Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, "It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, b ut in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphin s. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jum ping out of the water to see us." Breaking down in tears, she a dded, "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that it’s no longer with us is really hard t o take."The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles.More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Jap an every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be tre ated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries a nd see any criticism (批评) of this as an attack on their culture.21. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in J apan?A. They said something that hurt the fishermen.B. They entered a pool which wasn’t allowed to go into.C. They attacked Japanese culture.D. They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.22. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere ________.A. was really frightened and sadB. succeeded i n saving the dolphinsC. cried when they were hit by the boathookD. didn’t like th e Japanese fishermen23. Which of the following would be the best title for this pass age?A. What Happened While Surfing in JapanB. Hayden Panett iere Cried in the Sea of JapanC. People Worldwide Are Against Killing DolphinsD. Prot ect the Wild AnimalsBThe influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood m ovies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they d o these things every day.I think that American movies are a good way to spread A merican culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentar ies (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movie s we go to see are made in Hollywood.In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty per cent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or fro m other countries in Europe.American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are asmuch a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.However, it’s different with Western fast food. For exampl e, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will e ventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in e very city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more p opular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.24. From the first paragraph we can know that ____.A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywher eB. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own musicC. fast food spreads from Spain to the United StatesD. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills25. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?A. American novels.B. Hollywood movies.C. McDonald’s.D. American music.26. Why did the government set some rules for the films show n in Spain?A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.B. To earn mor e money from Spanish films.C. To limit the number of foreign movies.D. To unite the European Community.27. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?A. The name of a drink.B. The name of a rest aurant.C. A clothing brand.D. A certain kind of foo d.CDo you like seahorses? What do you know about them?The seahorse is actually not a horse but a fish, and much sm aller than any regular horse. In general, a seahorse is about a n inch long. It is a beautiful fish that likes warm waters, swims upright (直立的), and looks a little like a chess piece.Seahorses are an unusual kind of animal because the ma les (雄性) give birth to babies. Mating (交配) takes place in cooler waters on spring and summer nightswith a full moon. The females (雌性) put their eggs into the bodies of the males, and the males give birth to baby seahorses.The seahorse canuse each eye separately, which allows it to search for food wit hout moving the rest of its body. Seahorses situate themselve s near deep, fast-running channels rich in plankton, a kind of life on which they f eed. They can catch food from an inch and a half away. Seah orses can change from gray or black to yellow or purple within seconds to fit in with their surroundings, and in thisway escape from most of their enemies.One of the surprising facts about seahorses for most peo ple is that they are vertebrates (脊椎动物). They can turn and curl freely, and like to swim in pairs co nnected by their tails. Their tails are powerful, and they can us e them to grasp the surrounding seaweed (海藻) to keep themselves from being swept away. So seahorses are usually found in warm water filled with seaweed.Now that you know all these facts about seahorses, don’t you find them more interesting?28. We can learn from the passage that seahorses _______.A. are beautiful, and live on seaweedB. are as big as regular horsesC. live near deep channelsD. like to be alo ne29. The third paragraph tells us that _______.A. male seahorses lay eggsB. seahorses mate in spring or autumnC. male seahorses give birth to babiesD. sea horses mate in warmer waters at night30. Which of the following protects seahorses from being eate n by their enemies?A. Their fast speed of swimming.B. Their abilit y to change colours.C. Their unique eyes.D. Their strong tails.31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "gr asp"?A. Eat.B. Hold.C. Make.D. Handle.DWhen Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in thre e generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just a s delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally--the beauty and the star of the family--and felt happy about her achievements.But since the baby's arrival, the sisters have become dist ant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested i n her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her young er sister "acts as if no one ever had a baby before."Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly c hanged to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister--and Sally doesn't like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition don't fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life. In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and wo men between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong a s to have affected their entire lives.Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive--yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister can't wait to tell me when I've put on weight. However, she's a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happi ly, despite these small failings, we have been an important re source for each other.In between the very competitive and the generally suppor tive children lie those who say that no friendship should surviv e. Some brothers and sisters stay at arm's length, hut never gi ve up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unprod uctive, often painful relationships continue to exist?32. When Joan's son was born, Sally .A. felt very happyB. felt not delightedC. moved awayD. admired her a lot33. What happens to children's desire to compete with their br others and sisters?A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up.B. It will never disappear throughout life.C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up.D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.34. Why does the author's sister often tell her when she's put on weight?A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet.B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cC. Because she wants to make fun of the author's weight.D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.35. The underlined sentence means that although some broth ers and sisters .A. live near each other, they still have competitionsB. live away from each other, they stop their competitionsC. live together, they often think of ending their competitionsD. live within a big family, they often try to end their competit ions第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的六个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 36 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.On a 37 afternoon, everything changed.Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 38 windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 39 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.This woman was 40 .“I’ll get the next car’s 41 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 42 much snow onher hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright43 lit up her face like a fire.“You can’t 44 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired. “No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”Completely puzzled, I charged her as 45 , and when the nex t customer arrived at the window I explained what had just ha ppened. I watched as his 46 changed — first angry to be o ut in the cold, then 47 at the random act of kindness, and fi nally, delighted by his48 .“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatientdriver 49 him. He 50 over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leav e 51 and pleased. Somewere shocked to spend much more than they had expected,52 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused t o pay. Customers stood at my window 53 a fist-e off, honking (鸣笛) and 54 their thanks.It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 55 of traffic.

I have been a lon g time Supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many y ears. I have found, however, that I must make a separate sho pping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient f or me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two tri ps. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me c oming back to Supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied c ustomer if I could find all the items I need in one place. Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho chees e soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wo nton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and s mall and offer a more varied selection for their customers. An other example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not ary stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors .I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.Yours truly,Bob Watson56. According to Bob, the grocery store ________.A. meets all his needsB. is outstanding in every wayC. offers good customer serviceD. lacks convenient transportation57. How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?A. By giving examples.B. By analyzing the figures.C. By providing scientific findings.D. By comparing t wo different stores.58. From the letter, we can learn that the author is ________.A. a very picky reporterB. a competitor of the storeC. a responsible nutritionistD. a regular cus tomer of the storeBA Simple Lesson“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into t he room.“How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or t hrown my backpack across the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving t o a new house.“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm ar ound my shoulder. “What you must remember is that, with a l ot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team w ould have won the championship. They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that’s the worst!”Papa turned toward me. “Things will get better, I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lo renzo?”“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so important?”“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all t hat,” I answered.“That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to A merica he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allo wed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained becaus e he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your tal ent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do n ow?”Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some wo rk.”59. Why was the author unhappy that day?A. Because he moved to a new country.B. Because his baseb all team lost the game.C. Because he wasn’t offered a chance to pitch.D. Because he quarreled with his friends at school.60. The father successfully changed his son’s mood by _____ ___.A. asking him to train harderB. playing baseball with himC. telling his grandfather’s storyD. introducing him some n ew friends61. The underlined word “sheepishly” probably means ______ __.A. shylyB. patientlyC. clumsilyD. cautiously62. What can we infer about the author?A. He thinks his father lives in the past.C. He will continue to dislike school and everything.D. He will try his best to adapt to the new environment.CLast week I did something that scared me. I stood in front of n early 200 financial planners and I talked to them about why fin ancial blogs are a good thing.I’m a confident writer. I’ve been doing this long enough that I k now my strength and my limitations. I’m less confident as a sp eaker. I don’t have time to pause to collect my thoughts. I’m n ot able to edit. I’m afraid of being trapped in a corner without b eing able to talk my way out. Basically, I’m scared to speak.It would be easy to simply refuse the chances that come my w ay. When somebody asks me to speak in front of a group, I co uld say “no”. When radio and television stations call for an int erview, I could say “no”. But for the past two years, I’ve been f ollowing my own policy to say “yes” to new chances.To say “yes” is to live in fear. My goal is to continually improve myself to become better than I am today. One way to do that is to do the things that scare me, to take them on as challeng es, and to learn from them — even if I fail.In mid-November, a local station asked me to appear on live television. “I realize it’s short notice,” the producer wrote, “but we’d lov e to have you on the show if you’re available tonight.” I was fri ghtened. I thought about recent taped television interviews th at I had hated. I was afraid of what might happen.But I also thought about the things that had gone right. I thoug ht of how my speaking skills had improved over the past year. And then I thought of the book I was reading, a book that I ha d bought for $1.29 at the local store. The Magic of Thinking Bi g was a huge bestseller during the 1960s. Written by Dr. Davi d Schwartz, a professor at Georgia State University, the book contains dozens of practical tips on how to take risks to achie ve big goals. Schwartz argues that nobody will believe in you until you believe in yourself.So when the television producer asked if I wanted to appear o n his show, I thought big. “Sure,” I said. “I’ll do it.” I acted confi dently, but on the inside I was frightened. What I needed was techniques to build up my confidence and to overcome my fea r.63. Why is the author afraid of speaking in public?A. He is aware of his potential.B. He has few chances to talk.C. He is not able to edit what he says.D. He likes writing better.64. The underlined words “my own policy” in Paragraph 3 pro bably mean ________.A. self-improving through challenges B. hesitating before chancesC. turning down the invitationsD. saying yes to fear65. The author mentioned the book The Magic of Thinking Big mainly because ________.A. it was inspiringB. it was a bests ellerC. its author was famousD. its price was attractive66. What is the author’s purpose to write the passage?A. To analyze his strength and weaknesses.B. To give prac tical tips on speaking in public.C. To persuade people to follow his example.D. To share his experiences of overcoming fear.DTo Friend or Not to FriendWe all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have w ith your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Soc ial networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow t hem to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, wh ere children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their dayto day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more paren ts are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking site s.These days many people are attracted to social networking sit es because they can choose who they have around them; the re’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated whe n we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family m ember.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to becom e a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watc hed and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it perso nally if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it does n’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it cou ld mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would h elp soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your fr iends list.67. From Paragraph 2, we learn that ______.A. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB. social networks successfully fill the generation gapC. parents have realized the importance of social networksD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicat e68. Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because ______.A. they hide something from their parentsB. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsC. their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD. their pare nts make negative comments on them69. The passage is mainly about ______.A. privacy onlineB. social networksC. the generation gapD. parents’ friend requests70. The passage is written mainly for ______.A. parentsB. teenagersC. teachersD. res earchers第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ARosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(校园欺凌). Sheposted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times. Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.“I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,”Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,”and “what a beautiful colour you have.”Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they'd treated poorly —was bruised(瘀伤的) beneath its skin.“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,”Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.“Let's create a generation of kind caring children,”the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”21.What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?A.She had introduced it to the kids.B.She had coloured it brightly.C.She had made it look perfect.D.She had damaged it purposely.22.What does the underlined part “calling it names”(Para. 3) mean?A.Shouting at it.B.Making fun of it.C.Cheering for it.D.Saying rude things.23.What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?A.Drop it.B.Praise it.C.Ignore it.D.Respect it.24.What's the purpose of the teacher's using two apples in class?A.To draw the kids' attention.B.To explain her personal preferences.C.To help the kids understand the results of bullying.D.To make a comparison between them.BI can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!★Tomatina —Bunol, SpainEvery last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.★Boryeong Mud Festival —Boryeong, South KoreaFor two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want.★Holi —IndiaHoli, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world.★International Pillow Fight Day —WorldwideTens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2,2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.25.According to the author, ________.A. there should be festivals celebrated by the whole worldB. festivals give people the best chances to experience a cultureC. it’s usually hard for people to accept a different cultureD. festivals in a certain culture often change with time26.We learn from the passage that ________.A. the town of Bunol in Spain is on a riverB. cosmetic products sell well on Boryeong Mud FestivalC. International Pillow Fight Day has a short historyD. Holi is the greatest festival for Indian people27.The passage is most likely to be found in ________.A. a personal diaryB. a technical reportC. a geography bookD. a travel magazineCFinding the Real YouPsychometric testing —personality testing —has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your jobperformance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular”personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.”However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,”admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,”says Gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting —too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren’t really suited for.”Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But ifpersonality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.28.The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that __________.A. personality is largely decided from birthB. certain personality traits are commonC. some personality types are better than othersD. personality traits are various from time to time29.According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?A. The results could be opposite to what employers want.B. People can easily lie about their true abilities.C. Employers often find the results unclear.D. They may have a negative effect on takers.30.In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it to change your personality?A. It’s possible in your adult life.B. It’s easy if you have great motivation.C. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy.D. It’s difficult before the age of 21.31.What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?A. They are of doubtful value to employers.B. They are not really worth doing.C. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.D. They may encourage greater realism.DWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm andyoung-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.”It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes”contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes' color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!”Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car”where to go. On the way. You can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology”is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,”says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.”The Internet is one example. What will be the next?32.We can learn from the text that in the future ___________.A.people will never get oldB.everyone will look the sameC.red will be the most popular colorD.clothes will be able to change their pattern33.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?k will be harmful to health.B.More drinks will be available for sale.C.Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.k in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.34.Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A.Cars will be able to drive automatically.B.Fridges will know what people need.C.Nothing can replace the Internet.D.Jacked sleeves can be used as a guide.35What is the text mainly about?A.Food and clothing in 2035.B.Future technology in everyday life.C.Medical treatments of the future.D.The reason for the success of new technology.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。

Women often call each other to chat.Conversation is an important part of most women's lives.As relationships progress,however,many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk.This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says,“You never talk to me anymore.”Some men start talking.Many,however,mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects:feelings,family,relationships,friends and her work,many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves.Pretty soon,the man is back to staring at the television each night,wondering where his relationship has gone.The woman is talking to her friends,mom,sister,or neighbor,often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.24.What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs?A.They like to talk about practical matters.B.They are willing to expose their inner thoughts.C.They prefer to take adventurous travels.D.They often call each other to chat about work.25.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “brag about” in Paragraph 4 ?A.show off B.dream about C.put forward D.care for 26.What is the same topic in both men’s and women’s talk?A.Family.

In the freezer, of course. That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world. They’ve decided to stor e ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault (地下室)there. He says: “We are probably t he only scientific community whose sample (样本) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet. If you work on rocks or on tree rings, the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries."And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps?Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years. Trapped air bubbles (气泡) contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed. Ice is a record of climate. By examining ice, we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years. Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station, which is operated by scientists from France and Italy. The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10 meters below the surface at a constant temperature of -50*C.This will put the scientists’ minds at rest. Losing the ice samples would be a disaster, and nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool.28. What is the researchers' purpose of studying ice?A. To learn about climate.B. To learn about the Alps.C. To trap air bubbles.D. To reduce carbon dioxide.29. Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state that .A. ice should be stored at homeB. it’s more valuable to study iceC. ice disappears very quicklyD. it's necessary to store ice30. What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice?A. Its large mountains.B. Its function as a freezer.C. The abundant ice samples there.D. The absence of global warming.31. What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica?A. They consider it an easy job.B. They’re not optimistic about it.C. They think it will cause disasters.D. They think it’s a reliable way.DDear all,Please read Professor Hume’s email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.Susan MillerSecretary----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Susan,Please forward this message to students of my history class.Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.Ted HumeThe early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,” were not different fro m those of many African-Americans at that time. The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down, ” remarked John Lewis, “She was standing up for all Americans.”Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).Parks died on Oct. 24, 2005. At St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I pr obably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”After her casket(灵柩) was placed at the Capitol, U.S. President Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.32. What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?A.To introduce to the students Rosa Parks. B.To help the students organize a lecture.C.To answer Professor Hume’s last email. D.To make arrangements for Professor Hume’s class.33.What does the underlined word “forward” mean?A.Read. B. Explain. C. Send. D. Take.34. The political impact of Rosa Parks lies in the fact that she ___________.A.joined the civil rights movement at a young age.B.made racial equality a common value in American society.C.helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political success.D.set a good example in her early life for other black Americans.35. How was Rosa Parks treated after her death?A.She was honored to lie in state at the Capitol.B.She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.C.She was received by President Bush at the Capitol.D.She was named “mother of the civil rights movements.”第二节七选五Guide for TeenagersThe teenage years can be tough,and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them,you may be suffering from depression.36________.Try not to isolate yourselfWhen you’re depre ssed,you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult,but isolating yourself only makes depression worse.37________.Spend time with friends,especially those who are active.Keep your body healthyMaking healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your moods. Ever heard of “Runners High”?Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression,so get involved in sports,ride your bike,or take a dance class. Any activity helps!38________.As for food,make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits,vegetables,and whole grains.Avoid alcohol and drugsYou maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”,even if just for a short time. However,substance abuse can not only make depression worse,but can cause you to become moredepressed.39________.You will need special treatment for your substance abuse problem.40.________Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition,if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about,see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing wi th relationships,friendships,or family problems,talk to an adult you trust. A.Ask for help if you are stressedB.Even a short walk can be beneficialC.Turn to your parents for helpD.As you get out into the world,you may find yourself feeling betterE.In short,drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long runF.The more exercise you do,the healthier you will beG.Help is available and you have more power than you think第三节: 语篇According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently71 (face) with 72 unique problem.A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipsticks and would put iton in the bathroom.
