AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams(1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addans helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson(1907-1964)If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present)When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks(1913-2005)On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set lff the Montgmery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired lr giving in,” said Parks.21.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A. Her social workB. Her lack of proper training in lawC. Her efforts to win a prizeD. Her community background22. What is the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?A. Her lack of proper training in lawB.

Rachel CarsonC. Sandra Day O’Connor24. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?A. They are highly educatedB. They are truly creativeC. They are pioneersD. They are peace-loversBParents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given. The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents, who argue that the burden is too great, places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa)is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November."We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared", said Jos Luis Pazos, president of Ceapa. "Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be. It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day. For us, that's an unacceptable situation".Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future. They should be. happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably(难以理解地). The model needs to change because society has changed.Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day, which varies from region to region and school to school, but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm. However, schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments. They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.25.Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?A. To stop school violenceB. To ask for longer school timeC. To say no to heavy homework loadD. To request equal education for their kids26.Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?A. Longer school hours will ensure better gradesB. Happiness is the most important thing for a childC. Huge amounts of homework means a better futureD. The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children27.Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?A. CeapaB. The OECDC. Regional governmentsD. Each individual schoolCGrowing up in Wyoming everyday life was an adventure-I spent my time camping, and exploring mountains. When I was little my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall. I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men. Under her influence I made up my mind to achieve something great. Now I've become famous for sailing, a sport often considered "a man's world".Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport. And generally, there are only two ways to get into it-either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.In the summer of 2008, I went to St. Croix through a college internship(实习) program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs. There I discovered my love for sailing. Then SCA a global hygiene(卫生保健) company, made the decision to support an all-female team and when they began accepting applications, I knew it was the chance of a lifetime. I made it my task to become a part of the team. Even when it seemed like there were no positions left, I never gave up. After a stressful, two-year application process, I finally got the call. I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately. The process was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting, but I finally achieved my goal. I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience. Later there was an all-female team competing and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.As women, we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men, because we do. There are plenty of professions, including sailing, in which women are absent or have a minor presence-but that's not because they shouldn't be there. We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions, no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.28.Why does the author mention her mother in Paragraph 1?A. To compare with her motherB. To describe women's strugglesC. To analyze her mother's successD. To show her mother's influence on her29.What does the underlined word "both" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Two traditional ways to become professional sailorsB. Two important persons in the author's lifeC. Two basic stages of being a sailorD. Two famous professional sailors30.What is the correct order of the following events?a. I began training with the sailing teamb. I attended a college internship programc. I took part in competing in an all-female teamd. I discovered my love for sailing as a womanA. b-d-a-cB. d-a-c-bC. a-c-d-bD. a-d-c-b31.Which can best describe the author?A. HumorousB. GenerousC. PessimisticD. DeterminedDThe oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled(芭蕾) dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible(隐形的) cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat, ”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days-truly terrible days for some-astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is asmuch about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.32.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?A. Deciding on a proper sleep positionB. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bagC. Seeking a way to fall asleep quicklyD. Finding a right time to go to sleep33.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when .A. the y circle around on their bikesB. they use microcomputers without a stopC. they exercise in one place for a long timeD. they watch a movie while pedaling34.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because .A. their senses stop workingB. they have to stand up straightC. they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD. their brains receive contradictory messages35.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is.A. how much exercise they do on the stationB. how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC. whether they can recover after returning homeD. whether they are able to go back to the station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。

民乐一中2017—2018学年第一学期高三年级十月份考试英语试卷第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。
ASafety and Security ProceduresYour safety and the security of your personal property are of the primary concern to those of1.What should you do when a fire breaks out according to the passage?A. Try your best to put out the fire.B. Report fire to your leader first.C. Leave the building through the safe exit.D. Use the electric lift to leave as fast as possible.2.What should you do with a suspicious-looking stranger who knocks at your door?A. Pretend you are not in the room.B. Send him to the police station.C. Get in touch with the Front Desk.D. Let him in to make sure of his identity.3.Where might you see these suggestions?A. At a gym.B. At a hotel.C. At a shop.D. At a bank.BKathy Fletcher and David Simpson have a son named Santi. He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and David’s house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David ’s have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse.And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David “Momma” and “Dad,” are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. “At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.”“They give us a gift — complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, “We hug here,” and we’ve been hugging since.”Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn around kids’ lives. “I still haven’t seen one program change one kid’s life,” he says. “What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.” Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.4. Why do kids come to Kathy and David’s house on Thursdays?A. To help the homeless at first hand.B. To experience the feeling of home.C. To learn about the modern poverty.D. To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.5. Why isn’t the use of cell phones allowed a t Thursday dinners?A. Kids need to tell stories about themselves.B. Kids are expected to care more for each other.C. Kids have to do house chores around the home.D. Kids prepare songs for birthdays and graduations.6. What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?A. The practice of the art form.B. The pleasure of enjoying jazz.C. The chance to listen to poems.D. The zero distance between souls.7. What does Bill mean in his words?A. Love is the power to change a kid’s life.B. Money is needed to start programs for kids.C. A program can change a group of kid’s lives.D. Kids change their relationships in a program.CUniversity graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail.Bridgit, which they founded in 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution.More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called Closeout, officially launched.Feedback(反馈)was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app?The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie took that advice.As more business customers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. Since then, the company’s growth has been rapid.Earlier this year, Bridgit launched Closeout, which is designed so that even the least tech-savvy can use it easily. Today, the app is being used on sites across Canada and the United States and even by top general contractors.In October, Bridgit was named to the Canadian Innovation Exchange’s top 20 list of Canada’s most innovative (创新的) companies working in digital media and information and communication technology .But Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie are not resting on their glories. They have also been collecting feedback on Closeout from customers, and they’ll launch a new version in the spring. It will target not only general contractors but developers and building owners, too.8.What does the underlined word "defects"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Style.B. Process.C. Drawback.D. Material.9.What did the two graduates decide to do when the pilot version was well received?A. Turn to the ordinary consumer market.B. Look for wider applications of their app.C. Turn it into a widely-used tool for consumers.D. Continue centering on the development in construction industry.10.Who could be their potential customers?A. Smartphone users.B. Architects.C. Computer programmers.D. Photographers.11.Which of the following might be the best title?A. Graduates’ smartphone application takes offB. Graduates’ smartphone application has a bright futureC. Graduates’ smartphone application meets with challengesD. Graduates’ smartphone application plays an important role in our lifeDIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – w here people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV – where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.’Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.12. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products13. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn moreB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. food plays an important role in earning people’s trustD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV14 What can be inferred from the passage?A. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.B. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.15. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. Birds of a feather flock together.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。

AI want to tell you the story of one of my old friends called Bob,His teachers called him A Troublemaker,They also said that he had no future and no hope. But now he owns a small second -hand bookstore store which makes him enough money to live on and also to support his mother.He told me that after he finished grade nine, he went to study at a technical college. He was a pretty bad student so he became one of the gang (一帮) leaders there. Many of them got caught many times for fighting.It looked like nothing could change his life. That was until one sad day when his father died. That changed everything.After his father died, his mother had to work very hard to make enough money to support the family. He told me that he really pitied his mum after his dad died. He felt that he needed to earn some money rather than let his mum work alone. He loved reading cartoon(卡通)books and had been collecting them for years. As his family was short of money, he decided that he should sell them. He did this by the side of the road where his mother was selling food.Soon he realized that his books were very popular. So he decided to set up his own business. He started his business by going around buying cartoon books from other people. He bought them for 25% and then sold them for half price. He could make enough money to help support the family.He was a troublemaker to his teachers but he is a hero to me. If you are judged as a bad student or as someone being stupid, I suggest you pay no attention to what they say. Just do your best in everything.Don’t give up so easily. Believe in yourself. If you think that you can do it, then you can. Believe me, one day you could be more successful than those persons who looked down upon you.1. What does the author want to tell the readers?A. How a young man helped his mother.B. How a young man graduated from college.C. People can change when they are determined to.D. People can be successful after they lose a family member.2. Bob felt that he should change his way of life mainly because he .A. pitied his motherB. got caught for fightingC. wanted to work with his motherD. had to sell food by the roadside3. Bob decided to start his own business when he .A. sold all his cartoon booksB. found others liked cartoon booksC. could write his own cartoon booksD. could buy cartoon books from othersBFun games and activities play all important role in making picnics enjoyable. Here are some examples.Picnic Games for all Age Groups: Running and jumping races, playing balloons are some of the very popular picnic games for children. Grown ups in the picnic mood often enjoy taking part in children’s games too. While organizing picnic games that suit all age groups, think of all those going to the picnic and think of their preferences. Picnic games for grown ups can include playing frisbee (飞盘), ball games and other sports activities. Prepare playing cards and board games for those who may not be able to take part in active games.Family picnic games: family picnics are for all the family members to get together and share some priceless moments with each other. When on a family picnics, spend quality time with your family members, chat with them and talk about what you have not spoken about due to your busy lives. Playing together helps you refresh yourself and your relationship with your near ones.Company Picnic Games: Company picnics are team-building events, organized with the purpose ofnurturing(培养)team spirit in the company and developing in them a sense of belongings towards the organization. You can organize outdoor sports, team games and enjoyable activities for the team members. Make sure that the company picnic turns out to be a refreshing break from work for the team.4. The main purpose of the text is to introduce games for .A. teamsB. racesC. picnicsD. children5. What kind of games do children probably like best?A. playing cardsB. throwing frisbeeC. team sportsD. running races6. The under lined words near ones in paragraph 3 most probably refer to .A. school matesB. family membersC. people working for youD. people sitting next to you7.Why do companies organize games?A. To select the strongest teams.B. To make the organizers more famous.C. To build a link between work and play.D. To help their employees build team spirits.CIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登记卡) to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked andthey will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?8.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying9.We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.11.The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are worthy of trustDNow scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating(冬眠的) animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation (冬眠)period could actually lead to significant declines in the populations of several species.Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭)hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), and the marmots are waking up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks (花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陈代谢). When an animal hibernates, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’ heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have gotten the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source.Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, tha t’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said: “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species."12. What is the viewpoint of the writer?A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals.D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.13. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to __________.A. explain that global warming influences animals’ hibernationB. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer nowC. show that the weather in the United States is quite differentD. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather14. Why can’t marmots find enough food when they wake up?A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.B. Because plants haven’t received enough sunlight for spring growth.C. Because winter days end much earlier than before.D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.15. Terry Root holds a(n) __________ attitude towards the future of animals.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. pessimisticD. sensitive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。

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women. 1. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical schoolB. She decided to further her education in ParisC. A serious eye problem stopped herD. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States2. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?A. She was a woman.B. She wrote too many letters.C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.3. How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening ofher hospital?A. Eight yearsB. Ten yearsC. Nineteen yearsD. Thirty-six years4. According to the passage, all of the following are “firsts” in the life of ElizabethBlackwell, except that she ______.A. became the first woman physicianB. was the first woman doctorC. and several other women founded the first hospital for women and childrenD. set up the first medical school for women5. Elizabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.A. EnglandB. ParisC. the United StatesD. New York CityBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, u sually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.6. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is ac tually ________.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting7. What is a bird’s “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.8. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.9. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds’ daily life.D. By telling a bird’s story.10. What does the underline word “screaming” in paragraph 4 mean?A. 哭喊声B. 令人惊愕的C. 尖叫声D. 尖叫的CAmericans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.11. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______.A. may be doubledB. may be the same as beforeC. will reach 250 millionD. will decrease12. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Visitors will pay less than before.B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.13. Entrance fees may be increased _______.A. because the National Park Service are short of moneyB. only for the development of the national parksC. to protect the animalsD. mainly to limit the number of visitors14. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?A. Enlarged.B. Admitted.C. Controlled.D. Concerned.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,共70分)注意:将答案写在答题卡上。

ASafety and Security ProceduresYour safety and the security of your personal property are of the primary concern to those of us who welcome you as our guest. We urge you to take advantage of the1.What should you do when a fire breaks out according to the passage?A. Try your best to put out the fire.B. Report fire to your leader first.C. Leave the building through the safe exit.D. Use the electric lift to leave as fast as possible.2.What should you do with a suspicious-looking stranger who knocks at your door?A. Pretend you are not in the room.B. Send him to the police station.C. Get in touch with the Front Desk.D. Let him in to make sure of his identity.3.Where might you see these suggestions?A. At a gym.B. At a hotel.C. At a shop.D. At a bank.BKathy Fletcher and David Simpson have a son named Santi. He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and David’s house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David ’s have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse. And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David “Momma” and “Dad,” are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. “At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.”“They give us a gift — complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, “We hug here,” and we’ve been hugging since.”Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn around kids’ lives. “I still haven’t seen one program change one kid’s life,” he says. “What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.” Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.4. Why do kids come to Kathy and David’s house on Th ursdays?A. To help the homeless at first hand.B. To experience the feeling of home.C. To learn about the modern poverty.D. To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.5. Why isn’t the use of cell phones allowed at Thursday dinners?A. Kids need to tell stories about themselves.B. Kids are expected to care more for each other.C. Kids have to do house chores around the home.D. Kids prepare songs for birthdays and graduations.6. What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?A. The practice of the art form.B. The pleasure of enjoying jazz.C. The chance to listen to poems.D. The zero distance between souls.7. What does Bill mean in his words?A. Love is the power to change a kid’s life.B. Money is needed to start programs for kids.C. A program can change a group of kid’s lives.D. Kids change their relationships in a program.CUniversity graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail.Bridgit, which they founded in 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution.More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called Closeout, officially launched.Feedback(反馈)was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app?The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal.

Graduates’ smartphone application plays an important role in our lifeDIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them. During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – w here people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV – where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked. The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.’Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That meansnegotiations are more likely to be successful.12. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products13. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn moreB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. food plays an important role in earning people’s trustD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV14 What can be inferred from the passage?A. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.B. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.15. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. Birds of a feather flock together.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。

And if you are a woman, it’s even worse.Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise. One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.40. The main idea of this passage is that _________.A. marriage is a duty to societyB. people should get married before 30 years oldC. late marriage should be respectedD. women should get married earlier than men41.
