高二上学期第一次月考英语试题 含答案
高二英语月考试题2018.9考试范围：Units1---3 考试时间：120分钟满分：150分一、听力部分（共30分）二、阅读理解(共30分）1.（8分）AFrancis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers(哲人)of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使).Two years later he went to England to study law.At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament(议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it ter,by doing experiments,the scientists could see that any one cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.（21）According to the passage we know that ________.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of EnglandB.Francis Bacon had good educationC.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23（22）It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for________.A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in natureB.his booksC.his method,inductive reasoningD.being a member of parliament（23）His essays gave many useful lessons on ________.A.studyingB.conversationC.friends and healthful livingD.All of the above.（24）The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means________.A.discovering general laws from particular facts or examplesB.reaching a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular caseC.studying things as they used to beD.studying things in a particular way2.（8分）BDogs are man's best friends.This everyday saying may contain some truth，but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like.For example，cats can be excellent house pets，too.People enjoy the friendship of cats.Cats love to keep close to their owners.Cats are quite playful.They love to run after balls，or play with anything hanging from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners play the game with them.Just like a dog，a cat can be trained to perform tricks（诡计）or avoid unwanted behaviour.Cats do not have to be walked.They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play，and they do their business in their litter boxes.So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their litter boxes.Washing a cat is almost never necessary because cats usually clean themselves.In addition，cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry.Unlike some pets，most cats willnot destroy the furniture when left alone.They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family.Unlike dogs，cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly.Also，cats don't often have “accidents”．Mother cats train their babies to use the litter box，and most cats will use it from that time on.Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals，especially as they grow older.（25）From the passage，we can learn that ______.A.cats would rather play with themselvesB.cats often play tricks on their ownersC.many people think dogs are man's best friendsD.cats sleep less than any other animal does（26）What can be concluded（推断） from the passage?A.Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B.Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C.Cats are afraid of being left alone at home.D.Cats don't like to clean themselves.（27）In the fourth paragraph，we can learn that cats are ______.A.playfulB.cuteC.politeD.noisy（28）Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D.3.（6分）Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A.live in groupsB.have large brainsC.are warmbloodedD.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4.（8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can losejobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means ______.A.citizensB.passengersC. populationD.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists' customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD.we can't build too many support facilities三、阅读填空(共10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIt happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of .When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet m usic attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it bette r. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing t he waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the tabl e. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching othe r people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of the m was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three me n a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were goi ng to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his bee r on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of th e beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly i n the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.21. Mr. Phillip went into the restaurant to _____.A. have something to eat after the walkB. wait for a friend ther eC. meet his three friends thereD. enjoy the pleasant music22.The restaurant where Mr. Phillip had a drink must be _____. A. a first-class one B. a rather dirty placeC. expensive and comfortableD. a place where only beer was served23. Of all the three customers at the table, _____.A. the stranger drank the most from the glassB. the Englishman wasted half of his beerC. the stranger was the cleverestD. the American liked the beer bestBI wonder if my make-up is ok. What will I say to him? Carefully, I stepped out of my c ar as my date made his way over to me.“I’ve got you something,” he greeted me with a huge smile on hi s face. “Something every girl secretly longs for (渴望).” Standing in front of me, he slid something into my hand. I l ooked down to find candy — but not just any candy — A SugarDaddy!I relaxed immediately. This was the funny man I had been talkin g to. Little did he know, my secret longing was really to make a good impression on him.A good first impression is important. So, how do you, when you’re meeting someone for the first time, make certain he or she d oesn’t get the wrong image of you?A study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the c onnection between two people when they meet for the first time . Another study conducted by UCLA found that “people evaluat e one another by using the three V’s: visual (appearance), voca l (voice) and verbal (what you say).”Before you head out on your next date to meet someone new, l et’s concentrate on these areas:●How others will see you. (Visual) Are you dressed well? Do yo u look like this date is important to you? Did you take some time with your appearance? Watch your manners: people don’t like bad manners.●How others will hear you. (Vocal) Is your voice too soft? You might come across as insecure. If you speak softly, make an eff ort to speak clearly —don’t make your date have to work to he ar you.●What others will hear you say. (Verbal) People have a natural desire to connect — let them know you’re interested in what the y have to say by repeating it back to them. Don’t say the same t hing everyone else is saying.24. What would be the best title for the text?A. Good measures to communicate with othersB. How to make friends with othersC. How to enjoy yourself in your lifeD. The importance of a good first impression25. According to the text, when you want to make friends with s omeone, ______.A. you should try to master the first few secondsB. you should talk as much as possibleC. you should wear strange clothes to give him or her a deep i mpressionD. there is no need for you to treat it seriously26. Which of the following belongs to the description of “Vocal”?A. Dress yourself very well.B. Spend some time on your ap pearance.C. Speak carefully and clearly.D. Repeat the same thing sev eral times.CNow，it’s time for some brief news items.Teens Go OnlineSome 13 million European children under 18 use the Internet fo r schoolwork，games and music according to a research done by Nielsen’s“N etrating”．The study covered Britain，Germany，France，Italy and Spain. Experts advised parents to limit the time their ki ds spend online and keep them away from chat rooms.Chat to the Magic MumBritish author J．K. Rowling，mother of the magic boy Harry Potter，will do an Internet interview with fans on June 26.Before the ev ent，children are invited to send their questions about Harry Potter to the website.School SoldiersRussian school students will have to do basic military training in their final year of school，the government has decided. The lesson will include learning to fire guns，marching drills and learning how to deal with a chemical，nuclear or biological attack. The activity is seen as part of a driv e toward the education of their love for their country.________Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes？Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed in their pajamas (睡衣) and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course，their teachers and classmates do not see them because all thei r class work is on the computer.TheThe state’s only online school has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer. Students in this first online progr am take classes in algebra，American government，chemistry，computer，economics，and web page design. They also have to go to regular school to attend other classes.27．In the first news item，which country is NOT covered in the research?A．Britain. B．France. C．Sweden.

D．Students can’t take classes in algebra，American government，chemistry，computer and so on.31．What is the second news item mainly about?A．J.K. Rowling will have an Internet interview.B．Children will meet Harry Potter’s mother.C．Fans won’t ask J．K. Rowling questions on the Internet. D．J.K. Rowling will invite Children to her website.DDo you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a s low reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but t his is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is t hat you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (固定) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fix ation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay mo re attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.The way in which you read always depends on what you are re ading and for what purpose. You should know the different way s of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forg otten. You can skim to get the main points.(2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefull y is important. You may use this type of reading to study a scie nce lesson or a history lesson.(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. T his type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (精深的) study of your school subjects, solving Maths problems or re ading directions.(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. you may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well.32. The main reason for reading fast is that you can _______wh at you are fast reading.A. get the ideasB. save timeC. understand betterD. learn well33. The way of reading always depends on _______.A. the method that you likeB. your reading materialC. your reading purposeD. both B and C34. The underlined word "skimming" in the fourth paragraph means _______.A. reading very fastB. looking carefullyC. reading only the main pointsD. reading some parts of the material35. We can learn ________ from the passage.A. We can use different ways of reading flexibly when we rea d different materials..B. We can only use one reading skill when we read somethin g..C. Rapid reading is used when you solve Maths problems .D. We must use all the ways of reading when we do some rea ding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014-2015年高二下英语第一次月考试题及答案
第一部分：听力（略）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。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑AYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing a "banana person"? How strange! Are these people from ―another earth‖? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American–born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a ―banana person‖. A banana is yellow outside and white inside — looking like a Westerner and yellow outside —looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs can not speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens (公民)of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C .N.Yang (杨振宁). H e got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen. 21．―ABC‖ in this passage means ―____________‖.A. three English lettersB. Americans born in ChinaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. a kind of banana22．Chinese in Western countries are called ―banana persons‖ because _______.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they like to eat bananasC. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseD. they were born in China but got to study in America23．N.Yang is mentioned (提到) here to show that ____________A . American Chinese are great.B. We love American Chinese.C. American-Chinese are not Chinese citizensD. Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes.24．This passage mainly talks about _____.A. different kinds of bananasB. the life story ofC.N. YangC. the Nobel PrizeD. overseas ChineseBTeahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, ―China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.‖Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.25．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．there are many old men in Chengdu teahousesB．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialC．there are many people in Chengdu teahousesD．the cups in Chengdu teahouses are old26．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The person who caused the problem B．The mediator himselfC．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 27．This passage mainly talks about _______.A．how to make B．the special functions of the teahouses C．how to open a teahouse D．the special way of enjoying teaCBeijing is facing severe (严重的) traffic problems."Roads are wider now, but traffic jams (堵塞) often happen every day. " Yuan, a Beijing taxi drivers said.Beijing government is trying to do something to make traffic jams less. Before 2007, there were a few subway lines in Beijing. There was only line 1, line 2, line 13 and Batong Line. But now there is line 5, line 10, line 4, the airport fast -track and the Olympic branch line. And there will be 13 subway lines under construction in Beijing at the same time at the end of this year.The opening of the new subway line is convenient to tourists. Before, arriving in Beijing, many visitors would usually take a taxi to interesting places of Beijing. Today, as soon as people get off the plane, they can take the Airport Express Line, going to different interesting places through the subway lines. The government also strives to open a new line each year from now until 2015. The subway of Beijing reached 300 kilometers in 2010 and it will reach 561 kilometers in 2015.Miss Xiao, who lives in South Water Bridge and works at Hepingli, said that traveling by her car still took her at least one hour from home to work because of traffic jams. Now, because of the railway line 5, Miss Xiao can arrive at her office in less than haft an hour.28.What are the traffic problems in Beijing now?A. Drivers drive too fast.B. Traffic jams often happen.C. Roads are not wide enough.D. Traffic lights are always broken29.Why is the opening of the new subway line convenient to tourists?A. Because the new subway line is very interesting.B. Because the new subway line's ticket is very cheap.C. Because visitors can take the subway to many different interesting places.D. Because people in Beijing can cost less money than that before.30.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It takes Miss Xiao less time to get to her workplace by railway line 5.B. Visitors like to take a taxi in Beijing better.C. The subway of Beijing will reach 300 kilometers in 2015.D. There will be 15 subway lines in Beijing at the end of the year.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A. People in Beijing invented high -speed trains.B. Railway lines in Beijing only covers some areas.C. Beijing government has done something to make traffic jams less.D. Beijing welcomes visitors from different places.DSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances（环境）don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical（可行的）. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t p ut in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable（难以忍受的）pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking th at way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.32. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success33. In Paragraph 2, the underlined wor d ―that‖ refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. succeeding in lifeC. setting a practical goalD. putting in more time34. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. it takes a lot of time to succeedC. one tends to enjoy his workD. one gives up his work easily35. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.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。

The students were not behaving themselves．B. The heated discussions angered the headmaster．C. He thought the headmaster would scold him．D. The headmaster was looking at his students' papers．4.（8分）CSan Francisco has decided that its city government workers can’t use computer programs that recognize faces. It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that.

When the shelter first opened, Jablon focused mostly on species that are native to Florida such as turtles, owls, and crocodiles. But soon many exotic animals needed care too，including Bengaltigers，South American bears and even Australian kangaroos. Helping so many different animals costs a lot of money, and Jablon thought this would get people to donate to the shelter.Animals at the shelter have been either abandoned by their families or hurt in the wild，making it difficult for them to survive on their own. Jablon, his 13 - year 一 old daughter, Chelsey，and a team of volunteers help the animals so that someday they can be released back into the wild.Living with lions is dangerous，but Jablon feels safe because Lea and Ed are still very young, and they have known him for most of their lives. Lea is 18 months old, and Ed is only 10 months old. The cubs(幼仔）love to play with each other and their funny human friend. “ Eveiy time I bend over, their teeth tear my trousers right off，” Jablon says. “I’ ve been through six pairs already. ” Jablon has been sleeping on a pile of hay next to where the cubs sleep. He’ s built a nest in one of the pen’ s trees, where he’ s safe from harm in case things get dangerous. But Jablon is not that worried. “Lions generally sleep for 18 to 20 hours a day, so I’m going to be getting a lot of rest，” Jablon said. To stay safe，Jablon eats when Lea and Ed are also busy eating. Each lion eats about 14 pounds of raw meat every day.Live video streams from inside the lion，s den(兽穴），ail day, every day. Jablon hopes his project gets people interested in his work enough to donate money and keep Jablon ’ s shelter in busi ness61. What ’ s the purpose of Jablon ’ s creative way?A. To raise money for the animal shelter he runs.B. To open a wildlife shelter for orphaned animals.C. To study the habit of African lions.D. To observe the behavior of animals.62. What does the underlined word "exotic，’ mean?A. Beyond the control of humans.B. Being without humanity.C. Being no longer in existence.D. From other part of the world.63.

There ’ s a biological reason a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break—they get deep - rooted in our brains.That' s not an excuse to give up. Understanding how unhealthy behaviors become deep –rooted has scientists learning some tricks that may help good habits replace the bad. “ Why are bad habits stronger? You ’ re fighting against the power of an immediate reward. We all as creatures give greater value to an immediate reward than something that's d elayed, “ says Dr. Nora VoIkow，director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.Just how that bit of happiness turns into a habit involves a pleasure - sensing chemical named dopamine(多巴胺），It trains the brain to want that reward again and again—increasing the connection each time—especially when it gets the right cue(暗示）from your environment.People tend to overestimate their ability to resist temptations around them，thus destroying attempts to get rid of bad habits. Even scientists who recognize it find i t hard to resist. “ I don ’ t like popcorn. But every time I go to the cinema, I have to eat it,” Volkow says. “It's fascinating. ”A movement to pay people for behavior changes may make use of that connection，as some companies offer employees immediate payments for adopting better habits. However，paying for behaviorturns out, researchers say there are some steps that may help counter(反击、反抗）your brain，s hold on bad habits ； Repeat, repeat, repeat the new behavior~the same routine at the same time of day. Determined to exercise? Doing it at the same time of the morning makes the brain recognize the habit eventually. If you don't do it, you feel awful. Exercise itself raises dopamine levels, so eventually your brain will get a feel - good hit even if your muscles protest. Reward yourself with something vou really desire, Volkow stresses. You exercised all week? Stuck to your diet? Buy a book, a great pair of jeans, or try a fancy restaurant.66. What’ 5 the subjective reason for being hard to break bad behavio rs?A. Some behaviors get deep - rooted in our brains.B. We prefer an immediate reward.C. We value delayed gifts.D. We are all creatures of nature.67. What does the underlined word " connection" refer to?A. Pleasure and behavior.B. Brain and reward.C. Happiness and pleasure.D. Cue and environment.68. It can be inferred that the higher the dopamine level is, ______.A. the harder it is for you to break the bad habitB. the less pleasure you will getC. the stronger bad habits will becomeD. the more you ‘ 11 want to get a reward69. Why does Volkow eat popcorn even though he doesn ’ t like it?A. Because he recognizes the importance of it.B. Because it is needed for normal growth of the body.C. Because he can’ t resist the temptation of it.D. Because it makes him relaxed to eat popcorn while watching films.70. Which of the following is NOT the method in countering bad habits?A. Hepeat the new behavior again and again.B. Do the same thing freely as before.C. Treat yourself with something nice.D. Pay people for behavior changes.PART IV GUIDED WRITINGSection ADirections ：Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the pas-sage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The latest high - stakes(大赌注）strategy by Boeing does not involve its top - of - the –line models, the 787 Dreamliner but instead its aging smaller jets. Boeing has long been defined by its willingness to take big risks. But perhaps because of all the problems and costs involved with the bigger planes, Boeing is turning to reworking its smaller planes, the 737 s，which now have formed the backbone of the air travel system for decades, making up almost 50 percent of the fleets (机群）at the largest airlines and are characterized by low failures and low costs. Besides, thev are generally considered to be highly reliable.But in terms of fuel economy, "we haven * t seen substantial(可观的)improvements since the 1990s，” said Michael G. Van de Ven, the chief operating officer of Southwest Airlines, on e of Boeing ’ s biggest customers. Last week, James F. Albaugh，the Boeing executive said in an interview that they are under too much financial strain from delays on the larger planes to jump right into designing a new jet, which could cost $ 7 billion to $ 10 billion. Fortunately, breakthroughs in engine technology offer a rare chance to re - engineer Boeing’ s narrow 737s. However, Mr. Albaugh, said that while the new engines could help cut the operating costs by 15 percent, modifications and other costs in installing them to the 737s could reduce the total savings to less than 5 percent. “ A lot of people will say，‘ Yeah，go re - engine the smaller jets ’ ”Mr. Albaugh said. “But the second problem is, ‘ Are you willing to buy it? ’ ” Besides, top Boeing officials said last month that they were worried about whether they had enough engineers to handle all the work in front of them.Boeing officials said their top executives were divided about what to do and planned to decide soon. Most analysts say they think Boeing will install the new engines and streamline the 737 by 2015.Title： 71______I . Brief introduction of the 737 s♦ Percentage of the fleets at the latest airlines ： 72______♦ Characteristics ：• 73______• Low costs• High reliabilityII.

Section BDirections ： Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.The flag，the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world，is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country. The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact(手工艺品）.It is, rather ，the product of thousands of years，development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction. Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People ’ s food supplies were similarly vulnerable(脆弱的）.Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell thfe direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods，such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾）before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked ； The king of China around 1000 BC was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India，then across Arab lands，and finally to Europe， where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.81.

(No more than 1 word) ______________________________________________________83. Why were the earliest flags connected with heavenly power?

(D)What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, a nd another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid , or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? Thes e are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is n ot enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm mus cle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psycholo gists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more ofte n and give them problems to think about. The children are the n more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, th ey are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young ch ildren. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is pr obably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”42. According to the context we can guess that a genius is __ ______ while an idiot is ________.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a wea k personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person43.

Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you liv e.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussi on.三．七选五（根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。
