My mom ran a small shop at a flea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell…anything for the money we needed she was such an embarrassment. There was this one day during elementary school.I remember that it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school…“Your mom only has one eye?!” and they taunted me.I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom, “Why don’t you just die?” My mom did not respond. I guess I felt a little bad, but at the same time, it felt good to think that I had said what I’d wanted to say all this time. Maybe it was because my mom hadn’t punished me, but I didn’t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly.That night… I woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My momwas crying there, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might wake me. I hated my mother who was crying out of her one eye. So I told myself that I would grow up and become successful, because I hated my one-eyed mom and our desperate poverty.Then I studied really hard. I left my mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the Seoul University with all the confidence I had. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. Then I had kids, too. Now I’m living happily as a successful man. I like it here because it’s a place that doesn’t remind me of my mom.This happiness was getting bigger and bigger, when someone unexpected came to see me “What?! Who’s this?!” It was my mother… Still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on me. My little girl ran away, scared of my mom’s eye.And I asked her, “Who are you? I don’t know you!!” as if I tried to make that real. I screamed at her “How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter! Get out of here now!!” And to this, my mother quietly answered,“oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,” and she disappeared. Thank goodness… she doesn’t recognize me. I was quite relieved. I told myself that I wasn’t going to care, or think about this for the rest of my life.Then a wave of relief came upon me… one day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. I lied to my wife saying that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, that I used to call a house…just out of curiosity there, I found my mother fallen on the cold ground. She had a piece of paper in her hand. It was a letter to me.She wrote:My son, I think my life has been long enough now. For you… I’m sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you. You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye… so I gave you mine… I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did. The couple times that you wereangry with me. I thought to myself‘it’s because he loves me.’ I miss you so much.I love you. You mean the world to me.My World Shattered. I hated the person who only lived for me. I cried for My Mother, I didn’t know of any way that will make up for my worst deeds…So I gave you mine. With all my love to you! Your mom.24. What did the writer’s mother do when he was young?A. A cook.B. A worker.C. A businesswoman.D. A cleaner.25.

The writer mainly wants to tell us______ .A. how he knew his mother’s secretB. how he became a successful manC. how much his mother loved himD. how his mother lost one eyeCA record warm December raised average temperatures enough to make 2015 the second hottest year on record in the contiguous United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Monitoring Annual Report, which was released Thursday.The United Nations had previously reported that 2015 was shaping up to be the warmest year on record for the whole planet.Last year was also the third wettest on record in the U.S. and saw ten weather- or climate-related disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage in the U.S.and killed a total of 155 people.These include a drought, two floods, five severe storms, a wildfire, and a winter storm.The average U.S. temperature was 54.4°F, 2.4°F above the 20th century average, and second only to 2012’s record warmth.This was also the 19th consecutive year with average temperatures above the average for the century. Every state reported above-average annual temperatures. The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December, when many places saw temperatures 30 degrees above normal and many records were set.This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month, when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above norma l. Part of this warming was driven by a strong El Niño, or periodic warming in the Pacific Ocean, but some of it can also be attributed to global warming, says meteorologist Eric Holthaus, who was not involved with the federal report.The analysis comes less than a month after the U.S. and 194 other countries signed an agreement in Par is to more aggressively counter the effects of climate change.“Even if all the initial targets in Paris are met, we’ll only be part of the way there when it comes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere,” said President Barack Obama at the time. Still, the agreement represented “a turning point” by setting up “the architecture" for doing so, he said.NOAA’s climate monitoring center doesn’t issue predictions for future weather, but the agency’s Climate Prediction Center does. That team’s forecast for the next three months calls for warmer-than-average temperatures in much of the country, although parts of Texas and the Southeast may be a little cooler than usual.As Lancaster University Professor Gail Whiteman told the Weather Channel, "climate change means extreme weather is the new normal."28. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “climate change means extreme weather is the new normal”?A.Extreme weather will not normal due to the climate change.B.Climate change will result in the unpredictable weather.C.Climate change will be more and more common except for the extreme weather.D.Extreme weather will be kind of tendency in the future.29. Which of the following statement is true?A.The target of reducing carbon is accomplished.B.$1 billion loss was caused by the extreme weather.C.In most areas of US, the temperatures will be warmer than average.D.2015 was the first warmest and the third wettest on record in the country.30. What can be inferred from the text?A.The reducing of carbon still needs great efforts worldwide.B.NOAA has nothing to do with the predictions for climate change.C.The whole US will be warmer in the future due to the global warming.D.The weather change in the western areas is more obvious than that in the east.31. We can probably find the text in __ ?A. a government reportB. a science magazineC. an advertisementD. a newspaperDNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling(生动的）“interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language andliterature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essen tial nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.32. To have a better understanding of a poem, one should _____.A. discuss it with othersB. analyze it by oneselfC. practice reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook33. According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students _____.A. to enjoy poetryB. to understand lifeC. to become teacherD. to become poets34.The underlined word "make room "( in the last paragraph)probably means ____.A. to build a boothB. to provide equipmentC. to set aside enough spaceD. to leave a certain amount of time35. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? _____.A.Poetry is more important than any other subject.B.More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.D.Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上71-75中将该项涂黑。
河南省安阳市第二中学2016届高三英语10月月考试题
安阳市第二中学2016届高三10月月考英语试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）AWhat are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know. When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I’d kno wn about it earlier.Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school. There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere.It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bricks. For other classes, we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ mor ality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.1. What was the writer sad for?A. He was late for school.B. He missed the trip at the beginning of school.C. He didn’t know anyone.D. American students looked down upon him.2. Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?A. To attend class.B. To share a classroom.C. To have fun.D. To meet teachers.3. How do teachers in the US teach the students?A. However they want to.B. They use bricks.C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely.D. They always teach as required.4. According to the passage, in American high schools, ________.A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheatB. you’ll be punished if you do not finish your homeworkC. students are better at school work than Chinese studentsD. students care much about the grades they getBZheng Pengyu: Interest is the best teacher. Classrooms that weren’t fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. At the same time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. All in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students’ passion for studying.Sun Yao: Despite its benefits, I’m worried about whether the new system would work. Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. Also, not all schools could offer so many diversified classes.Shi Zhenghan: I support students learning in different classes. It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult. Teachers could also teach more effectively. What’s more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.Zhou Qingqing: In my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students’ p sychological (心理的) development. They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.Hu Qile: I applaud the idea. It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes. For students, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. Changing classrooms could also help relive the boredom of doing the same dull routine (惯例) every day.Wang Xiaoqian: The new system might help with students’ individual development, but I still prefer the current system. Studying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.5. According to Sun Yao, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The new system will work if great measures are taken.B. All the schools can’t afford so many diversified classes.C. Students will have more time to relax.D. He supports the system because of its benefits.6. Among the following people, who prefers the new system?A. Sun YaoB. Hu QileC. Zhou QingqingD. Wang Xiaoqian7. What is the passage about?A. Schools should offer diversified classes to students.B. Students find it difficult to develop friendship.C. Different opinions about changing classroom.D. Changing classroom can help with students’ individual development.8. Which of the following can best replace the word “applaud” in paragraph 5?A. hateB. opposeC. favorD. BenefitCIn the gym of Croxteth Community School, Liverpool, 50 boys have completed a course on boxing that is seen as a sign for its return to state schools.The Schools Amateur Boxing Association (SABA) has developed the Kid Gloves scheme, a non-contact (非接触)version of the sport where outside coaches teach a range of basic skills.Chris Andrews, assistant secretary of the SABA, said the scheme was regarded as a way of changing the decline in boxing in state schools which began 25 years ago.Safety fears and the poor image of professional boxing had accelerated the sport’s decline. Concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer Bradley Stone. But the Croxteth example was winning more supporters. Mr. Andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of England.He said, “I think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really is very beneficial to children. This scheme takes away the dangers. I hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated(协调的) way.” Such an idea horrifies such groups as the British Medical Association (BMA) and the British Safety Council, both critics of the idea.Dr Jeffrey Cundy, the joint author of a BMA report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in Liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. He said, “We feel that children should still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.”He added, “There is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. We see this reintroduction in schools as an unhealthy development.”At the 800-pupil Croxteth school, Steve Stewart, head of PE, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. Everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scratch, the improvements could be quickly seen.Gerry Thompson and Tony Curry, both 12, have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “I thought it was brilliant,” said Gerry. “I would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. It’s more enjoyable.”9. According to the text, the Kid Gloves scheme is developed by SABA primarily to .A. provide more fun for studentsB. promote the boxing course in a less dangerous wayC. help students gain a sense of achievementD. encourage students to be better-behaved10. Dr. Jeffrey Cundy’s attitude towards the return of boxing to schools can bedescribed as .A. supportiveB. unconcernedC. neutralD. disapproving11. The underlined part “all were starting from scratch” probablymeans .A. starting the course was difficultB. scratching was the first step to learn boxingC. everyone was inexperienced and started from the very beginningD. students would easily get hurt during the course12. In which section of a newspaper can we most likely read the passage?A. EducationB. LifestyleC. ScienceD. BusinessDSurfing the net when you should be finishing a work report, changing clothes when you have a train to catch, or pe rhaps even lying in bed when you’ve promised yourself you’ll work out. Sound familiar? You aren’t alone. We all procrastinate (拖延) sometimes, especially when it comes to things we aren’t really fond of.A study revealed that we spend about 218 minutes procrastinating every day, which amounts to 55 days of lost time each year. We might not think these figures particularly worthy of worry, but when we look at the overall impact of procrastination on our lives, it’s a different story. Not only does this cost financial loss, it also affects peace of mind. In general, people who continually put things off are unhappier, as well as being less wealthy and healthy.So why do we do it? “When we avoid taking action, we’re really avoiding pain,” explains psychiatrist (精神病学家) Phil Stutz. For most of us, pain avoidance isn’t limited to one situation. It applies to almost anything that’s painful. Most of us try our best never to leave a comfort zone. That’s why we sacrifice something much more valuable: time. “Our time on earth is limited,” Stutz adds. “Every moment is an opportunity we’ll never have again. Procrastinators act as if they have all the time in the world. But deep down, they know they’re wasting parts of their life. The trouble is, most of them don’t know how to free themselves.”One way he says we can reach this level of freedom is by overcoming the pain of avoidance using daily visualization (想象). “Picture the pain you’re avoiding as a black cloud in front of you,” Stutz says. “Notice how you’re tied of the ways this pain has held you back in life, and tell yourself that you’re determined to conquer it. T hen it’s time to get through the cloud and to the other side — where you’re free.” It is obvious that this tool works when we want to procrastinate. We then get into the habit of moving “towards” pain instead of away from it.Experts insist: procrastinators can change their behavior, it takes a lot of self-work but in the end, it’s worth the effort. And start today, not tomorrow.13. The writer begins the passage by .A. mentioning habitual activitiesB. asking related questionsC. presenting abnormal thingsD. comparing different opinions14. According to the passage, people procrastinate because they .A. get accustomed to taking actionB. don’t know how to free themselvesC. are not aware of the limited timeD. prefer to stay in the comfort zone to avoid pain15. One possible way to stop procrastination is to .A. lie in bedB. avoid the painC. overcome it mentallyD. reach the freedom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。

AYou may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鲸记》),written by the American author Herman Melville. You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written. However, it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melville’s first two novels, Typee and Omoo, were widely read and financially successfully. They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands. Melville became quite famous. However, upon the publication of his third book, Mardi, Melville’s popularity began to weaken. He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure, and his writing took on a style that alienated（使疏远）the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851. It was an original novel, combining aspects of sociology and philosophy, which confused readers by its complex symbolism. The book sold poorly.Melville’s next book, Pierre, was almost completely disregarded by the public. Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector. Eventually, Melville abandoned prose（散文）and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melville’s poetry. He and his brother made a trip to the front line, and he published a book of poems, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War, based on this experience.Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72 at this point, his work had been completely forgotten by the public. His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years. Then, in 1920s, his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscoveredhis work. Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.1.What were Melville’s first two novels mainly about?A. Adventurous voyages and foreign experiencesB.

We can learn from the text that Moby Dick.A. made Melville popular again.B. was Melville’s favorite novel.C. was copied from other books.D. sold a little better than Pierre.3. The text may be taken from.A. a writingguide.B. a literary（文学的）journal.C. a science magazine.D. a critical book on literature.4. What is the text mainly about?A. The main works of Melville.B. The skills in Melville’s writing.C. The ups and downs of Melville.D. The reason for Melville’s failure.BChina is one of the countries with the richest history, culture and the most developed civilization, economy and political system on the planet. Their language has fascinated people a very long time and still does. These are only a few reasons for which today there are still a lot of students and tourists that are attracted by this country, its culture and economical growth. Numerous students decide to study abroad China every year as they want to experience the life there and learn its fascinating language.There are over 500 dialects in China because of the big distance between villages and towns from the capital cities such as Beijing. In spite of great popularity that the English language has around the globe, Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the entire world because of the fact that China is the most populated country on Earth, having more than 1.3 billion citizens. This is the main reason for which most students want to study Chinese in China.On the other hand, China has the fastest growing and expanding economies in the world and this might give you the chance to take part in future projects in different areas of China. These are well—trained specialists around the world that decide to study Mandarin in China where they can become leaders in their specific field of operation. People who study Chinese in Beijing will have a lot of opportunities after mastering the Chinese alphabet and a lot of doors will open for them, giving them a lot of chances to succeed in their career.To sum up, if you decide to study Chinese in Beijing, the best place to start your research and gather information is the Internet. Here you have various opportunities to study in China at affordable prices.5. Why do large numbers of foreign students decide to come to China to study every year?A. To experience the life here and learn Chinese.B. To earn money by teaching English in China.C. To learn different dialects in China.D. To taste Chinese food and enjoy beautiful scenery.6.

The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace. More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.That cyberspace（网络空间）trend is causing problems in school, however. In a recent survey, nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts. Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully（恐吓）other students. One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers, and some have suspended（暂缓）students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers. Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes, according to the US Census Bureau.It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant, “Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on socia l networking. They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them. “Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,” Ji m Hirsch said, “Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits. “Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,” explains Hirsch.8. Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?A. At the teach er’s office.B. At the net bar.C. At home.D. At the classroom.9.

There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.C. Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.D. Too many schools allow students to use social networking site s without Question.11. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Lessons Online?B. Friendship Online?C. Dangers Online?D. Information Online?DMy name is Jake. I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their maste rs were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that d og show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失猫狗的待领处）, where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and d id a little jig （一种快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eight h birthday.I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.12. Why didn’t Jake join the dog show?A. Because he wasn’t handsome enough.B. Because Andy didn’t allow him to join in.C. Because he couldn’t jump and run across barriers.D.

A“Dad，” I say one day, “let’s take a trip。
Why don't you fly out and meet me？”My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought，his life。
While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks。
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure。
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks。
We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop？” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still don't have a watch？”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Gene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial(皇室) family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.（1）What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?A. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.D. Hereditary diseases and cancer.（2）What's the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.（3）In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.（4）What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit peopleB. Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了基因技术，详细讲述了基因技术的好处。

AI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled（贴标签）everything.I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one e vening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learnedthe key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.1. What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books.B．She heard the author shouting loud.C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.D．She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.2. The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she wanted to show her careD．she was asked by Kate to do so3. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes B．By showing differencesC．By describing a process D．By following time order4. What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B．Hard Work Pays OffC．How to Be Organized D．Learning to Be RoommatesBWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family businessbecause she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.5. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson6. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An’s family ______.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles7. What can we infer about the An’s daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.8. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Run a CorporationB. Strength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessC(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjo y the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.

What is the passage mainly about?A．Modern ways to mind your manners.B．Different ways to change others' manners.C．Proper manners to offer help to others.D．Good manners to talk to people.DWhen I was young, Mom was often sick and didn’t make much money. We seldom went anywhere special except at those times that some generous adults stepped in to brighten our horizons. One of my favorite memories of my early years was when I was a second grade. My teacher, also my best friend’s aunt, took us two girls to a neighboring city for a day. While in the city that day, I remember seeing a beautiful show of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer books. I longed for the books. Of course, I could n’t buy one—I only had a little pocket change. That day we rode an elevator and were taken to see a Disney movie after eating in a restaurant—it was a tiny unforgettable day.Another time my aunt, a dry old woman who went out about as seldom as our family did, took me to the movie. I can’t remember the movie’s name but I do remember it was a unique experience to see a long movie on such a wide screen.Other times, relatives took me to attend a carnival(狂欢节) or I was invited to a neighbor’s home to watch some musical programs when TVs were not situated in every living room.Had it not been for all those kind people allowing me to participate in their lives, I would have grown up completely ignorant(无知) of the world outside our little house and country school. Today, most children enjoy a variety of experiences. In our time it was different. It was only through the kindness of others that I was able to share in experiences I would otherwise never have had. At the time, I didn’t know e nough to be grateful for the favors I was given, but I am grateful now.13. Why did the author seldom go anywhere when she was young?A. It was not safe for the girls to go out.B. The transportation was not convenient.C. Her family couldn’t pay for h er travel. C. Her parents were afraid that she would get lost14. What does the underlined word “situated” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A. LaidB. WatchedC. GainedD. Settled15. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last passage?A.

The author felt grateful to the kind.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt had been more than 25 years since my mom last saw her, and I had never seen her.We had been to Boston many times, but this trip was different.My mother is white and my father is black, and her family didn’t approve of their marriage. So I’ve grown up really knowing only my mom’s three cousins. I was 14 that summer and meeting my great-aunt Virginia for the first time. We had a nice lunch on Cape Cod. At first it was a bit awkward, as she was talking about other family membersI didn’t know. As we spent more time talking, I became more and more interested inthe stories she was telling. Afterward, we went to her house for dessert. My mom and great-aunt reminisced (追忆往事), but for my mom it became a reminder of all the lost years. While they were talking, my brother and I went into the basement. She was getting ready to move, and there wasn’t much down there, but an old, green metal box caught my attention. Aunt Virginia told me I could have whatever I wanted. She said the first-aid kit (成套工具) was her late husb and’s , and that he had been a World War II soldier. When I opened the box, all the original medical tools and bandages were intact (完好无损的). Many years ago, it was used to treat wounds on the battlefield;now it stays in my room. I’d like to think that it’s playing some part in my family ties starting to heal.21. What can be inferred about the author’s parents?A. They do not have many friends.B. They often fight with each other.C. They moved to Boston after getting married.D. They have little association with their relatives.22. What do we know about the first-aid kit?A. It was damaged in World War IIB. It was great-aunt Virginia’s treasure.C. It strengthens the author’s family ties.D. It helps the author know more medicines.23. What would be the best title for the text?A. An unforgettable trip to BostonB. Family stories from World War IIC. My first meeting with great-aunt VirginiaD. A first-aid kit begins to heal a divided familyBFor my community service, I performed one major job. I played the piano for the residents (居民) at the Longview Nursing Home. If you had asked me two years ago if I could ever imagine myself doing something like this, I would have thought you were crazy.I made arrangements with Susan Lawful, director of the nursing home, to play songs every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for two hours. Together with one of the residents, Mrs. Miller, I selected songs to play that the elderly citizens would enjoy and would be able to sing along with if they wanted to. Their favorite song was “Pretty Baby”. One of the men at the home liked that song so much that he danced along with the music every time we sang. Playing music was good for the residents and me. I developed a really great friendship with Mrs. Miller. I can honestly say this is the first person I ever really made a friend with who is two generations away from me. Also, it was always pleasant to see the smiles on the residents’ faces whenever I showed up to play. We were all a little nervous the first couple of times I did it, but by about the third time, they would wave and greet me with lots of “hi s” when I got there. Now, I feel connected with the people from the nursing home and I know I helped make them feel happier and not quite so lonely.Being a responsible citizen means being there for other people, not just looking out for yourself or for your friends. There is an endless variety of ways in which a person could be a responsible citizen: helping someone in need, serving on committees, coaching little children in a sport, etc. Bu t being responsible to me means reaching out past yourself to see what you can do. It’s more than just doing my job. It’s doing the unexpected to make our city, and even our country, a better place.24. How did the author feel about playing the piano for seniors two years ago?A. He thought it was depressing.B. He considered it challenging.C. He hardly gave it a thought.D. He was eager to accept it.25. Why did the author play the selected songs?A. To teach the elders new songs.B. To involve the elders in the activity.C. To improve the elders’ taste in music.D. To prepare the elders for a dance party.26. What good did the author’s music bring?A. It built up his confidence.B. It brought joy to the nursing home.C. It changed his feelings about music.D. It encouraged creativity among the elders.27. How should a responsible citizen behave according to the author?A. Follow social rulesB. Offer help to others.C. Fulfill your own duties.D. Take exercise regularly.CA new report has concluded that advertising managers are becoming increasingly interested in children. Studies show that children influence about 50 percent of things that families buy, so they’re an attractive target for advertisers.John Taylor, the author of t he report, says “Advertisers can reach their target in many ways. They can, for example, show an ad many time s during school holidays, they can make the TV advertisements a little louder than the programmes to attract attention or they can sponsor programmes and show their advertisements just before the progr amme begins.”。

How to Achieve a Big DreamD. Family Unity Builds SuccessC(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move?A: Maybe, but nobody will fault you for it. Chances are that close sitter doesn't realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren't the first person he's met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show.Situation IIQ: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something?A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time or an emergency? If so, you don't have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one.Situation IIIQ: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down?A: No. Try other means.1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down.2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作)and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friend's birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. "Happy belated birthday!" is short for: "Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday."Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Don't lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it.

What is the passage mainly about?A．Modern ways to mind your manners.B．Different ways to change others' manners.C．Proper manners to offer help to others.D．Good manners to talk to people.DWhen I was young, Mom was often sick and didn’t make much money. We seldom went anywhere special except at those times that some generous adults stepped in to brighten our horizons.One of my favorite memories of my early years was when I was a second grade. My teacher, also my best friend’s aunt, took us two girls to a neighboring city for a day. While in the city that day, I remember seeing a beautiful show of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer books. I longed for the books. Of course, I could n’t buy one—I only had a little pocket change. That day we rode an elevator and were taken to see a Disney movie after eating in a restaurant—it was a tiny unforgettable day.Another time my aunt, a dry old woman who went out about as seldom as our family did, took me to the movie. I can’t remember the movie’s name but I do remember it was a unique experience to see a long movie on such a wide screen.Other times, relatives took me to attend a carnival(狂欢节) or I was invited to a neighbor’s home to watch some musical programs when TVs were not situated in every living room.Had it not been for all those kind people allowing me to participate in their lives, I would have grown up completely ignorant(无知) of the world outside our little house and country school. Today, most children enjoy a variety of experiences. In our time it was different. It was only through the kindness of others that I was able to share in experiences I would otherwise never have had. At the time, I didn’t know enough to be grateful for the favors I was given, but I am grateful now.13. Why did the author seldom go anywhere when she was young?A.

河南省安阳市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期期中试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.1. From the text we can infer(推断) that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food2. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly.B. The small bird.C. The bearD. The fox.3. Certain animals change their choice of food when _________.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietBRice plants normally grow well in still water. But most will die if they are completely underwater for more than four days. Now, researchers have identified a gene（基因）that helps rice survive longer underwater. They say the discovery will lead to new kinds of rice plants that can survive flooding, and therefore reach their final aim, ensuring more dependable food supplies.Tests are now being done in Laos, Bangladesh and India. The researchers say experimental rice plants with the gene have survived underwater as long as two weeks. When flooding happens, most kinds of rice plants cannot get enough oxygen, carbon dioxide or sunlight. But the scientists say crop loss depends on several conditions. These include soil conditions and plant age. Others include the amount of time the plant is underwater and the amount of fertilizer（肥料）used on the crop.On a genetic（遗传的）map of rice, the scientists became interested in a group of three genes. They experimented with one of them, a gene known as Sub-One-A. They found that when this gene becomes very active, it improves the ability of rice to survive longer when rice is covered by water. They believe it succeeds because it affects the reaction to hormones（荷尔蒙）. They control the ability of a flooded plant to survive. Placing the gene into rice plants that are especially good forconditions in India, researchers say the genetically engineered plants not only survived but also produced good crops.The researchers are now trying to identify all the genes governed by the Sub-One-A gene. Being able to leave water on rice plants for an additional week might also help farmers prevent the growth of weeds. Less weed growth around their crops would mean less need for herbicide（除草剂）chemicals.5. Crop loss depends on all the following conditions EXCEPT _______.A. soil conditions and plant ageB. the amount of water the plant stands inC. the amount of fertilizer used on the cropD. the amount of time the plant is underwater6. What is the final aim of this research?A. To identify the gene that helps rice survive underwater.B. To increase the ability of rice to fight against floods.C. To help farmers spend less time removing weeds.D. To make sure of enough food supplies.7. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Genes.B. The experiments.C. Genetically engineered plants.D. Hormones.8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Rice research is going on in Laos and IndiaB. How to reduce the influence of floods on riceC. Gene researchers work on flood-resistant riceD. A great discovery in the agricultural fieldCBuying insurance is a way in which people can protect themselves against large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurancecompany will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it had collected.The first modem fire insurance company was formed in London in the 1740s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Some other companies were founded in other areas.Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.9. The first fire insurance company was founded ____.A. in EnglandB. in 1740C. in AmericaD. in 175210. We can lean from the passage that ____.A. the first modem fire insurance company was founded before a great fire in LondonB. in America, farmers have protection against the loss of crops from storms if they buy insuranceC. fire insurance will prevent people’s homes from burningD. life insurance was started in London, England11. Insurance means protection against ____.A. the loss of car and plane crashesB. the loss of fireC. the loss of lifeD. losses of many kinds of accidents12. The best title for this passage is ____.A. Protection for EveryoneB. The First Fire Insurance CompanyC. The Founder of the Insurance CompanyD. Life InsuranceDAccording to U. S. research，you can add seven and a half years to your life just by being happy!Supporting this claim is Laurie Hayes，Life Strategy Coach from Ontario，Canada，who has been working with people who have recognized this missing element in their lives and want to take corrective action towards a more meaningful，balanced existence.“Some people believe that by earning more money，working longer hours，and taking on more and more responsibility，they will somehow reap big benefits that will in the end guarantee happiness. Unfortunately that just isn't the case，and research has now proven that the more comfortable life becomes，the more discontented and unfulfilled we become.”Incredibly，professional men and women polled in a recent study were rated to be unhappiest of all. Most attributed work pressures，the need to achieve，family responsibilities，social pressures，and busy lifestyles. Ms. Hayes says people often wait so long to do anything about these feelings that by the time they come to her they are out of order，overwhelmed，feeling heavy and isolated，and that it's only through supportive，strategic life coaching they are able to learn how to live，laugh，and dream again.Coaching used to be intended for toplevel executives，movie stars and large corporations，but is now being sought after by average，everyday people seeking positive life change. Already mainstream in the U. S.，it is still relatively new in Canada.“I know personally what it's like to live without real happiness. I experienced it years ago，learned a valuable lesson and now I want to do my bit to help others realize that they too can find happiness.” Thankfully，real happiness is attainable and doesn't have to come at the expense of something else. As a matter of fact，the source might be so close to us that we can't even see it！The secret of extended life might be right under our noses，only waiting to be discovered!13.“The secret of extended life might be right under our noses，only waiting to be discovered！”means ________.A. real happiness is attainable and doesn't have to come at the expense of something elseB. real happiness is very important，but we all miss itC. extended life is easy to gain for life strategy coach，such as Ms. HayesD. you can add seven and a half years to your life just by being happy14. The underlined word “existence” can be replaced by ________.A. pursuitB. happinessC. lifeD. coaching15. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. you can add exact seven and a half years to your life just by being happyB. professional men and women were rated to be unhappiest of allC. extended life is easy to gain，just be happyD. extended life comes at the expense of something else第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry."I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!""No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!"1.

Where would you be most likely to find the two texts?A. On a notice boardB. In a company brochure.C. On a teenage websiteD. In a college newspaper.CAt thirteen, I was diagnosed（诊所） with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand ri ght away and said, “Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the r eading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t giv e up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students. My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give upI didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “ See what you can do when you keep trying”A.He was new to the classB.He was tired of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home10.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passageA.He had good sightB.He made a great invention.C.He gave up readingD.He learned a lot from school11.What was Mrs.Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the storyA.AngryB.ImpatientC.SympatheticD.Encouraging12.What is the main idea of the passageA.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.DThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.13. We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.A. not willing to share foodB. not found around the polesC. more successful than all other animalsD. too many to achieve any level of organization14. Ants can use pheromones for______.A. escapeB. communicationC. warning enemiesD. arranging labor15. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A. Their behavior.B. Their size.C. Their number.D. Their weight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。

AUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌)a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗机)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.21. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river waterB. Paving parking lotsC. Throwing batteries awayD. Throwing rubbish into lakes22. What can be inferred from the text?A. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.B. All water shortages are due to human behavior.C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.23. The last paragraph is intended to____________.A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. suggest what we do to save water at homeD. prove what drinking glass is best for us24. The text is mainly about_________.A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how human activity affects our water supplyC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how much we depend on water to liveBDear Michelle,My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. (咒骂)I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?Prisoner of a Crazy HouseDear 7th Grader,I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get older and mature. While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate fromher doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser.I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that isa good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits. At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.Fortunately, you are not alone.

Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Dahcia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hour of televisionper day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.32. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Parents’ own habits may affect children later.B. Teen agers’ TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV.D. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.33.

Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.21. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming22. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by_____.A. the fatherB. the authorC. William BlakeD. Edgar Allan Poe23. The author made the gift by_____.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures24. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedBBucks CountyIf ancient shops, covered bridges, and historic B&Bs are your idea of a charming way to spend a summer weekend, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is perfectly suitable for you. If you’ve got the kids with you, head to Sesame Place in Langhorne or take them to the Delaware River; be sure to have a bite at the River Hot Dog Man for a special lunch at an in-the-water picnic table.ChicagoChicago’s our kind of town all year long, but the city really comes into its own in the summer months, when visitors enjoy the city’s finest season. Besides the sweet jazz and blues clubs, more than 7,000 restaurants and world-class museums, the onset (开始)of summer means enjoying Chicago dogs at Wrigley Field, sunning yourself on man-made Oak Street beach, and enjoying concerts in Highland Park during the Ravinia Festival.JacksonLying close to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park, this Wyoming town’s wild- -west reputation is growing for an international film festival, and a 500-seat performing arts center that opened in March.ReykjavikIf you’re always saying that there just aren’t enough hours in the day, head to Iceland this summer, when the sun shines at midnight —you’ll have no excuse but to get out and explore Reykjavik and its unique natural surroundings. Once you’ve arrived in this Nordic capital, spend the weekend discovering hot springs, waterfalls, mountains, and glaciers (冰川).25. If you want to listen to music in summer, you should visit _____.A. ReykjavikB. Bucks CountyC. JacksonD. Chicago26. From this passage we can know that Jackson _____.A. is surrounded by Yellowstone National ParkB. is becoming a famous arts centerC. holds international book festival every yearD. belongs to one part of Grand Teton National Park27. If you are interested in mountain-climbing, you can travel to _____.A. JacksonB. ChicagoC. ReykjavikD. Bucks County28. We can know from this passage that _____.A. you’d see many dogs in JacksonB. it’s interesting to travel to Bucks County in winterC. you can travel to Reykjavik to visit some ancient shopsD. you can enjoy sunshine on the beach in summer in ChicagoＣA few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were o ur age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I ---“Generation Y”—still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to anther until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”(傲慢自大的), “ impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children, we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--- starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.29. When the author walked through her parents’ house, she ______.A. was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from lifeB. started to think about her own lifeC. realized she had to buy a houseD. wondered why her parents had settled down early30. What is the main “Generation gap” between the a uthor and her friends and their parents according to the article?A. Their attitude toward high technology.B. Their ways of making their way to the top.C. Their attitude towards responsibility.D. Their ways of gaining experience.31. Which of the following might the author agree with?A. It’s all right to try more before settling down.B. It’s better to take adult responsibility earlier.C. It involves too much effort to rise vertically.D. It’s ridiculous to call her generation “arrogant”.32. What is the main theme of the article?A. The sudden realization of growing up.B. A comparison between lifestyles of generations.C. Criticisms of the young generation.D. The factors that have changed the young generation.DAt exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival,” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released (免除）from ray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much.”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”“Mine?” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”“A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. “There is a change in me.”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?” he asked, trying to appear calm.“When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”“I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things,” he said. Then he l ooked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,” she added quietly.“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.33.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. AngryB. Calm.C. Nervous.D. Excited.34.We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Laura had once promised to marry PercivalB. Laura's father wished to end her marriageC. Percival had been married to Laura for two yearsD. Percival asked to be released from the marriage35.The passage is probably taken out of_________.A. a novelB. a reportC. a diaryD. an essay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。

AAre you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th. This special holiday is called International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers.These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball, and began to talk like pirates. At that moment, they thought, “Young people are interested in pirate. But there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it. Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate?” They decided to make September 19th the date. Since then, Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day. As Baur said, “We've talked like pirates, and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”At first, this day was only known by a few people. In 2002, Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry. This columnist（专栏作家）really liked their idea. He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people. Now, it has really become an international holiday. On Talk Like A Pirate Day, you need to dress like a pirate. You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes. You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie.Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday. Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day. That's why it is welcomed by so many people, especially young people.Unlike traditional holidays, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a brand new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too.

In the United States, health workers’ dirty hands infect about 5 percent of patients at a cost of $4.5 billion a year, they said.A team of researchers led by Dr. Dinah Gould of the School of Nursing andMidwifery at City University in London performed a systematic review to determine whether strategies to improve hand hygiene are effective.The researchers, whose study was published in this week’s Cochrane Library Newsletter, found only two trials that were even worth consideration and both were of poor quality.Based on those, they concluded that a single teaching session or seminar (研究会) was not likely to affect hand washing behavior, even in the short term.“We need some good research that will show us how we can bring about a change in people’s behavior,” Gould said in a statement.8. The passage mainly deals with _____.A. the management of hospitalsB. how to develop good habitsC. the benefits of washing handsD. infections caused by the unwashed hands of doctors or nurses9. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. health workers should pay more attention to hand washingB. patients in Britain are taken better care of than those in AmericaC. drugs of high quality are in great need in BritainD. children don’t like washing their hands10. According t o the study, to improve the medical workers’ hygiene _____.A. is not an easy thingB. is not difficultC. doesn’t make senseD. is impossible11. The purpose of the research done by Dr. Dinah Gould is to determine _____. A.how to improve the quality of drugsB. how effective health workers areC. how to provide patients with a better environmentD. how effective the strategies to improve hand hygiene areDMusic is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the pop singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instrument is called orchestra music (管弦乐),such as the symphonies (交响乐) of Beethoven. There is opera (歌剧 ) for singers. There is ballet (芭蕾舞剧 ) for dancers like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.12. In what sense can music be regarded as an international language? （）A. Popular music is what everyone enjoys.B.
