AA young mother went into a small bedroom. Her baby was sle eping there. There was a cat near the baby. The mother took t he cat away immediately，because the cat often lay on the baby. Then the baby couldn't breathe and it died by magic.In many countries, people are af raid of black cats because they bring bad luck. Napoleon didn' t like black cats. He saw a black cat before the battle of Water loo. He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore，on the Continent，the black cat is unlucky；in Britain it is lucky.In general，animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army，some have a goat for luck，and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬)．When President of America Eisenhower died，there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain，Prince Charles went fox－hunting.When they caught the first fox，they killed it. Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charl es.They did the same thing two years later，when Princess Anne went foxhunting for the first time. A lot of people don't like foxhunting, and they were very angry when t his happened. It is called“being blooded”；and fox－hunters think that is very necessary. It brings good luck to the new foxhunter，when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her. In the coun try，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while bird s are usually unlucky，but eagles are different. They are lucky，and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol. Also gulls ar e lucky. Sailors are very happy when gulls follow their ships. According to the passage，Napoleon lost the battle in Waterloo because________. A．the British were too strongB．the number of his soldiers was too smallC．the war broke out on the ContinentD．he saw a black cat before it2. Some of the blood of the fox was put on Charles and Anne because________.A．they are prince and princess of BritainB．it could bring good luck to themC．a lot of people liked foxhuntingD．they wanted to hunt more foxes3．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A．In Britain，it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in springB.The Romans made the eagle their symbol.C．In France，people have goats for luck.D．In Britain，black cats are lucky.4．What's the main idea of this passage?A．People in different countries take different animals as their lucky ones.B．People think an Irish wolfhound is lucky while a goat is unl ucky.C．How the baby died.D．Gulls are lucky.BHave you ever been to London?

D．you can visit Westminster Abbey within 1.5 miles.CWe have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at par ticular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any in formation about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This su ggests that they have some mysterious way of knowing the ti me. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inn er clock”.This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, i t was later found that not just plants but also animals —including man —have this “inner clock” which controls the working of their bodi es and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenc ed by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affe cts such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for f ood.In the past, this did not matter very much because people live d in natural condition. In the modern world, things are different ; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very us eful, then, to know more about the “inner clock”. Such ordinar y things as flowers might help us understand more about ours elves.8. A recent experiment showed that ___________.A. different flowers open and close at different times of dayB. for their opening and closing, flowers do not need informa tion from the outside worldC. flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are i n a dark roomD. flowers can be used for telling the time9. The “inner clock” ________.A. is an unimportant discoveryB. is only found in animalsC. has not been understood by farD. has an effect on human life10. Further study of the “inner clock” will be useful because __ __________.A. the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increa singB. we do not yet understand plants and animals well enoug hC. it might help us in some wayD. we should try to live more naturally than we do now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。

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains are sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in setting down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.24. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favorable climate.25. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.26. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.27. What is the text mainly about?A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.CWhile famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize -which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture-on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus（校园）of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex(复杂的) architectural space and abundant(丰富) building types. The curves（曲线）of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view.Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements.Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowled ge of traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the1995 Pritzker Prize.Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. “That is only evidence that trad itions once existed,” he said.“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,” he said.“Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,” said Wang.The study of traditions should be combined(结合), with practice. Otherwise(否则), the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty, he said.28. Wang's winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are__________.A. following the latest world trendB. getting international recognitionC. working harder than ever beforeD. relying on foreign architects29. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?A. Its hilly environment.B. Its large size.C. Its unique style.D. Its diverse(多样化的) functions(功能).30. What made Wangs architectural design a success?A. The mixture of different shapes.B. The balance of East and west.C. The use of popular technique.D. The harmony of old and new.31. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?A. Spread them to the world.B. Preserve them at museums.C. Teach them in universities.D. Recreate them in practice.DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball- simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.32. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probabl y mean?A. The more, the better.B. Enough is enoughC. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.33. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A. Saving up for her holiday.B. Raising money for a poor girl money.C. Adding the money to her fund.D. Giving the money to a sick mother.34. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A. To try out an idea.B. To show a parent's love.C. To train his attention.D. To help him start a hobby.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Take it or Leave itB. A Lesson from KidsC. Live More with LessD. The Pleasure of Giving第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。

封丘一中高一英语试卷第二部分：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）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A. the blood drive is organized by Isabelle’s motherB. doctors will sponsor Isabelle’s familyC. Isabelle has been ill for 11 monthD. Isabelle receives blood transfusions regularly22.To be a marrow donor, you must_____.A. be a relative of the patientB. carry a driver’s licenseC. be at least 18 years oldD. apply to Michael’s Fund23.Those who want to help patients like Isabelle can _____.A. come to Wiley Hall every WednesdayB. visit for an appointmentC. contact their parents at 800-283-8385D. call at hospitals in Rhode IslandBMany people don’t consider their breakfast without a glass of milk. Right now, cows, buffalos, goats and sheep provide most of the world’s milk. But soon, people could get milk from roaches(蟑螂).That isn’t as crazy as it might sound. New research shows this “milk”is super-nutritious. What’s more, some scientists have already begun referring to a lot of insects as source of milk.In 2004, Subramanian Ramaswamy started studying milk crystals found inside the roach. At the time, he was teaching biochemistry at the University of Iowa City.To learn more about the milk crystal from roaches, the scientists used X-rays to look at the atoms in it. The data basically revealed the chemical recipe of the roach crystal. They showed that roach milk is a “complete food”. It contains sugar with a fatty acid stuck to it. Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. The protein in the milk is also full of essential amino(氨基的) acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Since our bodies can’t produce the “essential”ones, we need to get them from our food. And so do baby roaches.Barbara Stay, a biologist at Iowa University, also worked on the new study. She says the new data show that the roach milk is “three times more nutritious than cow’s milk and four times more nutritious than buffalo’s milk”.Ramaswamy would like to see roach milk turned into a protein supplement to feed hungry people. But not everyone is confident that it can be done.Marcel Dicke studies insects as a potential source of human food at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Dicke says this is a “sound study”. However, in his opinion, “Extracting(提取) milk from roaches can only likely be done in a destructive way with only small quantities”. That means you’d have to raise and kill many bugs to get even tiny quantities of the milk.24. What is the opinion of the scientists about milk in Paragraph 2?A. Many insects are sources of milk.B. Milk is an important part of breakfast.C. Milk from insects is the most nutritious.D. Milk from insects is well accepted now.25. What can we know about the use of roach milk in life?A. It will replace the milk from animals like cows.B. Scientists think it the key to solving world hunger.1C. All people don’t think it can be used in life soon.D. Most people depend on roach milk from protein.26. According to Marcel Dicke, extracting insect milk on a large scale is ________.A. simpleB. challengingC. safeD. necessary27. What should be the best title for the text?A. Roach milk has been found scientificallyB. Roach milk could be produced industriallyC. Roach milk could be a new super foodD. Roach milk will be widely used soonCThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths : I’ll never lose weight-I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challengeNo pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.28. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.29. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.30. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain”in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.31.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.DBoy Missing, Police PuzzledPolice in America have stepped up their search for a fifteen-year-old boy who went missing two days ago in Dover, New Hampshire. This incident has received great interest due to reports of strange lights in the sky and of alien visits around the time the boy disappeared.Witnesses say they saw Justin walking towards his house at 10.45 p.m. Justin’s sister, Kelley, aged nine ,says she heard her brother return home at 11 p.m.“I was getting ready for bed,”Kelly said. “Justin went straight to his room. I didn’t see him, but I heard him put on his favorite CD. I went to bed, and was woken up around midnight by a bright light outside my window.”At first，the young girl thought it was the light of the full moon，but then she realized that it was moving and coming closer.“I pulled back the curtains and saw a large spaceship flying outside. It had blue lights all around it, and there were many windows. Standing inside were lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes. I was frightened！”Kelly said that the spaceship then moved around to the side of the house, towards her brother’s bedroom. “There was a flash of light and I heard Justin shout, and then the UFO just disappeared.I haven’t seen Justin since. I’m sure the aliens took him.”Kelly then ran and woke up her mother. However, since Mrs. Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend, she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed. Mr. Foster was working that night on his road construction job，and was not home when these events occurred. When Justin did not show up for lunch the next day, Mrs. Foster became worried and told her husband to call the police.Some people in Dover also say that they saw aliens that night. “It’s happened to me！”said Mrs. Mavis Wood. “The aliens took me aboard the UFO so that they could do research on me.2Luckily, they returned me home without any injuries. The whole experience was terrible! I haven’t been sleeping well since I returned home. I think Justin was taken away by them, too.”When asked about the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens, Detective Sam Peterson, who has taken charge of the case，told journalists, “Sometimes people make up such amazing stories. There’s really no hard evidence that aliens took him. So, while we have not dismissed the idea, we are looking into other possibilities as well. We will not give up until we find out what happened.”32. The reason why people were interested in the disappearance of the child is that____A. The lost boy was 15 years old.B. The police advised them to do so.C. The disappearance might have something to do with the UFO and the alien.D. All of the above33. We can infer that the boy might go missing______.A. in his own roomB. on the playgroundC. in Kelly’s roomD. in his brother’s room34. What is the attitude of the police to the disappearance of the boy?_____A. They can’t make sure that Justin was taken by aliens.B. They think it possible for some people to make up an amazing story.C. They are looking at other possibilities, such as murder.D. All of the above.35. We can know_______.A. the police have known the cause of the boy’s disappearance.B. the police haven’t found convincing evidence about the boy’s disappearance.C. the police will catch the aliens who took away the boy.D. the police won’t get any information about the child’s disappearance.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）AOscar Wrigley, a two-year-old child with the same IQ as Albert Einstein and Stephen Ha wking, has become the youngest boy in to be accepted into Mensa.A leader at the Gifted Children’s Information Centre said Osca r, with an IQ of at least 160, is one of the brightest children th ey have ever come across.Oscar’s father Joe, 29, an IT specialist, said, “He is always as king questions. Every parent likes to think their child is specialbut we knew there was something very unusual about Oscar. I’m fully expecting the day to come when he turns around an d tells me I’m an idiot(白痴).”Mother Hannah, 26, told The Daily Mail, “He surprises everyo ne. We knew at 12 weeks he was quite bright. He was unusu ally quick in mind. The other day he said to me, ‘Mummy, sau sages are like a party in my mouth.’ His vocabulary is surprisi ng. He’s able to make complex sentences.”Dr Peter Congdon, who tested Oscar, said he was a “child of very superior intelligence (超常智力)”. He showed outstanding ability. “Oscar shows great gift. Changing that gift to success is the challenge for his parents and we are pleased that they have chosen to join the Mensa network for support”, he said. Exactly speaking, Oscar was ac cepted at the age of two years, five months and 11 days.The youngest British girl to join Mensa is Elise Tan Roberts, fr om Edmonton, North London, at two years, four months and 1 4 days, with an IQ of 156.Why was Oscar Wrigley accepted into Mensa?Because he is cleverer than Albert Einstein.Because he has very superior intelligence.Because he is the brightest child in .Because his father is an IT specialist of Mensa.We can infer Mensa is probably the name of _______.the cleverest boy in the worldthe brightest adult ina club for people with superior intelligencea family with superior intelligenceAccording to the passage, it’s not easy for his parents to ____ ____.change his gift to success B. answer his questions C. test his gift D. know him wellThe main purpose of the passage is ____________.to tell us a family with the cleverest childto give us some ways to have the same IQ as Albert Einstein to explain how Oscar becomes a clever childto tell us a boy with the same IQ as Albert EinsteinBToday, as in every other day of the year, more than 3000 ado lescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becomi ng regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3,000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoki ng-related disease. The number of deaths due to cigarette smoki ng outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntar y, as a cause of death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important is sues must be raised.First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth h ave declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking a mong male high school seniors beat that among female by ne arly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing(完全相反的). Third, several recent studies have indicated high school d ropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent.Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking hav e occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decl ine exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (N CI) began its current effort to determine the most effective me asures to reduce smoking level among youth.According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by __________.traffic accidents B. murderC. smoking-related diseaseD. all of theseBy “dropout” the author means ________.students who failed the examinationstudents who were driven out of schoolC. students who lost their wayD. students who left schoolThe reason for declining adolescent smoking is that ________. NCI has taken effective measuressmoking is prevented among high school seniorsthere are many smokers who have died of cancernone of theseCMy wife and I, recently driving through Arizona, stopped at a “collector’s shop” in , where many kinds of stones and mineral s were on display. During the visit, we were taken into a small room where ordinary looking rocks were laid out on shelves. Had I seen them on some hillside, I would not have given the m a second thought. Then the man closed the door so that th e room was in total darkness and turned on an ultraviolet lamp (紫外线灯). Instantly, the rocks showed a kind of glory. Brilliant colors of an indescribable beauty were there before our eyes: certai n power had been switched on, and a hidden world came to lif e.As I look at my universe and walk among my fellow humans, I have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us: th ere in the physical world, and there also in the human world.I believe, then, that my chief job in life is to switch on extra po wer so that I can see what my naked eyes, or my naked mind, cannot see now. I believe that I have to do this particularly wit h my human fellows. My ordinary eyes tend to stop short at th ose envelopes we call human bodies. But we have learned th at by turning on certain power we can see through to the insid e of these envelopes.We call this extra power “imagination”. At its highest, we call it “empathy”, the power to see through and to feel through to th e inner life of other human beings. When we turn on this lamp of imaginative sensitivity, we make the ordinary human being s around us come excitingly alive.When we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden fro m us, we walk humbly (谦逊地) before the Great Unknown. But we do more than this: we try to increase our power of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understand ably known. This, I believe, is our great human adventure. 8. Why does the writer mention their visit to the collector’s sho p?A. To share his experience.B. To explain his pointC. To introduce the topic.D.

Ms. Nelson got the i dea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her ho meroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington S tate, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.Ms. Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick curly brown hair, sh e realized that he'd had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong， and he said he'd gotten a buzz cutf or the summer. But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus ma de fun of him, and he didn't want to come to class and get lau ghed at by other kids. Ms. Nelson tried to convince Matthew t o come inside, but since school rules banned kids from weari ng hats indoors he refused—explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the oth er children in case they also made fun of him."Finally I said, ‘ If you take your hat off and come to class, I'll l et you give me a buzz cut too, " Ms. Nelson told Yahoo Parent ing. "I figured it's just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorter in time for the warm weather. Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson an d another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together duri ng break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watc hing as their teacher's hair fell away onto the ground in the sc hoolyard."It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel bett er about himself.

Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A s mile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the inter viewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't. Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your bod y language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice an d show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself an d the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about you rself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusia sm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Als o, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employe r.Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a questio n, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain:"I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that. ""I'm not sure exactly what you mean. "Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers kn ow that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed.But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They e xpect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand. Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.Good luck!28．It can be learned from the passage that ______ .A．you should always put on a smile when meeting the empl oyerB．you should stand still with respect before the employer C．employers understand and like employees' nervousness D．the first impression is very important in an interview 29．Why should we pay attention to our body language? ___ ___A．Because it can help us win the employer's positive impres sion.B．Because it can help us feel about the employer. C．Because it is needed by our employer.D．Because we need it to improve our feelings.30．The main purpose of the passage is ______ .A．to give you some advice on the art of finding a jobB．to tell right from wrong about job interviewsC．to explain why we should do something about an intervie wD．to suggest not being shy in an interview31．Which of the following can be the best title for the passag e? ______A．A Friendly Smile B．Making a Good Impression C．Don't Be Nervous D．Sending a Thank-You LetterRecently, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added ab out 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The chang es are to help users understand a mix of terms, some dating b ack many centuries. The additions include words such as “bre ncheese”,“deathshildy” and “hip-pop”.The new entries are part of the company’s update to , its searchable online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year. But the l atest print version has been in process since the year 2000, a nd may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company’s d ictionary operations in the United States.Usually, the OED watches usage of a word for at least 10 yea rs before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to an existing entry, she said. This general rul e, however, is sometimes not followed. That is what happene d with “tweet”, a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark. Other times, the company adds words that are ver y old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past.“It’s funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already obsolete. It’s just that they were ne ver in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press. That is the reality, she said, of a historical dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese”, a rarely used term for when bread and cheese are eaten together. Th e word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is guilty of a seriou s crime and condemned to death.The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that combines parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It noted that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U. S. newspaper report about the ra p artist M.C．Hammer.The website has added several other terms related to modern culture. They include three popular terms: “binge-watching”,“spoiler alert” and “microaggression”.Here are a few other new entries if you long to read on. 32．What has the OED done recently?A．It has made changes to its words’ explanations.B．It has sorted out some words which are out of date.C．It has helped users to have more convenient use of the O ED.D．It has taken in more words and new meanings of some w ords.33．The underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.A．deserted B．updatedC．changed D．explained34．What will the paragraph following the passage most prob ably be about?A．The influence cultures have on the words in the OED.B．The difficulties the OED has in choosing the words. C．The effect modern technology has on the OED.D．The new vocabularies the OED has included. 35．What’s the best title of the text?A．The OED, a Great Help for English LearnersB．A Brand New Version of the OED WebsiteC．A Better Understanding of Words in the OED D．Examples of the OED Choosing Words第II卷（非选择题）三、提纲类作文36．假定你是李华，正在美国交流学习。

But things were even harder for Srikanth Bolla who was born in a small village in India, where the common belief was that kids with disabilities were “of no use” and therefore, better off dead. Fortunately, Srikanth's parents loved their son and refused to give him up. Instead, they encouraged the blindboy to dream big and reach for the star.Srikanth did not disappoint his parents. The now twenty-four-year-old is the founder CEO of Bollant Industries.Of course, getting here was not easy. Being both blind and poor meant that Srikanth had to face hard challenges. As a young boy, Srikanth attended a regular school near his home. Unfortunately, the students and teachers didn't quite like him because of his disability. As a result, the young boy was largely ignored and often spent the entire day alone.Concerned this would hold back Srikanth' s development, his family decided to send him to a special needs school in Hyderabad. Sure enough, the young boy soon rose to the top of his class, earning awards in speech and debate competitions. But Srikanth was prevented from studying sciences when he reached l0th grade, because it was thought too “dangerous” for a blind student. Not one to give up, Srikanth took legal action and became the first blind student in the country allowed to study sciences.Later, after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，Srikanth set up Bollant Industries in 2012. For just four years, it has become a powerhouse with over 450 employees, 70% of whom are physically challenged.Being disabled doesn't mean being unable. “If the world looks at me and says, ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing,’ I will look back at the world and say I can do anyhing.” the young man says.4. Why has Srikanth been sent to a special school?A. His parents became richer than before.B. This school was free for disabled students.C. He was sent away by the regular school.D. He could be treated equally there.5. What can know about Srikanth from the text?A. He was born in a poor village.B. His parents were strict with him in his study.C. He cared about disabled people.D. He was loved by the villagers when he was young.6. What words can best describe Srikanth?A. active and honest.B. patient and careful.C. intelligent and determined.D. kind but stubborn.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Chances Are EverywhereB. No Challenges, No SuccessC. Big Dream Makes a DifferenceD. Disability Doesn’t Mean Being UnableCDon ald was not very good at maths. He could not understand the teacher’s explanations. Even when the teacher explained something a second time, Donald still could not understand it. “Never mind,” Donald told himself, “I’m quite good at other subjects. I’ll cheat in the maths exam, and then I won’t be in trouble.’’“I will sit next to the boy who’s good at maths,’’ he thought, “and copy down hisanswers. ” The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brian Smith, who was always at the top of the class in ma ths. Donald carefully copied Brian’s answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers and graded them. Then she said, “Well, boys and girls. I’ve decided to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade. How ever, it’s difficult for me to decide who to give the prize to, because two students, Donald and Brian, got the same grade.”“Let them share it,’’ one of the other students said.“I have thought about that,’’ the teacher said, “but I have decided to give t he prize to Brian.’’ Donald was angry when he heard this. He stood up and said, “That is not fair. I got the same grade as Brian.” “That is true,’’ the teacher said. “However, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know’, while yours was ‘Neither do I’.”8. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Donald wanted to do better than Brian in maths.B. Donald didn’t want to be in trouble in the exam.C. The maths teacher gave the prize to Donald.D. The maths teacher didn’t teach Brian well.9.

Brian checked answers with others.D. He got the same grade as Brian.DAnimals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated (证实) that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins, even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor (香味) was added to the vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria (自助食堂) with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showedsome unusual eating patterns, but over a period of time they managed to select a well-balanced diet (饮食).So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Clearly, there is a kind of "body wisdom" which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced (影响) by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.12. In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to___.A. encourage rats to drink itB. find out what kind of flavor rats preferC. test whether rats know which drink is with fragrant flavorD. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless13. The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to drinking water which _____.A. has no smellB. is tastelessC. has vitaminsD. is flavored14. As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar because _____.A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietB. both prefer flavored food and drinkC. both have the same eating patternsD. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors15. According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ from those of babies because ____________.A. adults know better than babies what kinds of food are good for their healthB. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foodsC. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsD. adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsEColor is fundamental in home design——something you’ll a lways have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 16 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 17 , they can get a littlecomplex. But good news is that there’re r eally only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.18 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your wallsand less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves 19 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wal lpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 20 .A. While all of them are usefulB. Whatever you’re looking forC. If you’re experimenting with a colorD. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar withE. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways第三部分语言知识运用第一节完形填空（每小题1.5分，共60分）AElla Fant was a middle-aged lady who lived with her only son John in a small house.

2019学年高一下学期开学考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AAfternoon tea became popular about 150 years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for a cup of afternoon tea. Usually taken in the late afternoon, it is also called “low tea”as it is served at a low table. Since this isn’t a meal, but rather like a late afternoon snack, finger foods such as sandwiches, scones and pastries are common. People are not only taking tea to get what their bodies need or satisfy hunger, but to take time to relax, chat and enjoy the company of dear friends. In England, the traditional time for tea is four or five o’clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o’clock.This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840 by Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford, England. During the long time between an early lunch and a very late dinner, she experienced what she called “a sinking feeling”at about 4 or 5 in the afternoon. So she asked her serving girl to bring her a pot of tea, a little bread and butter and cake in her room. She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her.High tea, a team often mixed with afternoon tea, usually takes the place of supper. In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had meals at about noon and after work between five and seven o’clock. The table would be setwith dinner foods like meat, bread, butter, potatoes, cheese and of course tea. It was called “high tea”because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table.How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment? As a famous writer named Henry James said, “There are few hours in life agreeable than the hour dedicated to （献给）the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”1. Who started the tradition of afternoon tea?A. Duchess Anna Maria.B. The 7th Duke of Bedford.C. Henry James.D. Some unknown working people.2. What does the underlined phrase “a sinking feeling”refer to?A. A feeling of being bored.B. A feeling of hunger.C. A feeling of missing friends.D. A feeling of shyness.3. Why does the author mention Henry James’words?A. T o tell us how the name “afternoon tea”came out.B. To tell us that afternoon tea is in fact a ceremony.C. T o show how popular afternoon tea is．D. T o show the difference between afternoon tea and high tea.【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C【解析】本文介绍下午茶的由来。
