2020-2021学年辽宁省实验中学高三英语月考试卷及答案

2020-2021学年辽宁省实验中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt was a weeknight and one of my twin daughters marched into the room, waving a book she'd finished. “Dad, why are books with science in them always about boys?” she asked.I told her that simply wasn't true; there were loads of great science fictions with girls in them. She agreed, but argued that in those stories it was the boys who were doing science, and the girls were justalong for the ride. My other daughter took her sister's side and challenged me to give an example.This left me in a difficult position. I could either go through our library to point out some wonderful examples of female-led science fictions, or just admit they were right and remain in my comfortable chair.I've been asked several times how I came up with the idea forA Problematic Paradoxand my answer is always the same: it came to me in a moment of inspiration. I like that answer because it's simple and makes me seem very creative. The fact that this explanation is not true bothers me from time to time. Here's the truth: the story wasn't my idea. It was my daughters who suggested I write something for them that had a girl doing science.My daughters were at an age when many young women turn away from STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), believing those areas of study unfriendly or out-of-the-norm for girls. I also read about how important role models can be to young people. It's one thing to tell a person they can do something, but seeing someone like them doing that thing can be more powerful.So, I kept two guidelines for the book in mind: First, the story had to be fun for anyone, because it's as important for boys to understand that science is for everyone. Second, I wanted the main character, Nikola, to be imperfect. She should be someone with shortcomings as we all have. I think this not only makes a story more interesting to read, but also helps make it clear that the most extraordinary things can be done by ordinary people.1. What does the underlined phrase “along for the ride” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Entering a bike race.B. Offering vital help.C. Doing unimportant things.D. Playing the leading role.2. What do we know about the bookA Problematic Paradox1?A. Its main character is perfect.B. It is a female-led science fiction.C. It is intended to appeal to girls only.D. Its idea comes from the author's inspiration.3. Which of the following best describes the author's book?A. Serious and abstract.B. Simple and practical.C. Creative and well-organized.D. Inspiring and interesting.BA year ago I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work paid off. My mom had spent a lot on my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, took part in various clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new part of my life.Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was missing my family, my home and everything in my hometown so much and I didn’t know how to deal with my broken heart.To distract myself, I threw myself into my studies. I also found a ton of jobs. In any free time, I started forcing myself to go to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn’t think about how lonely I felt. Soon after, I began to control my eating, considering it another solution to my homesickness. But soon there was something wrong with me.Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor told me I had no choice but to take time away from school, I started to fear. How could I stop? School was what I was best at. “I’m not so bad,” I thought in my head. But the result was that I was taken to hospital again a month later and my mother camewoefully. I had to take a semester off from school, and go to the treatment center near my home.If there are girls who are suffering similarly, I hope you know that there is hope and that you should have a positive attitude towards life. Though you may feel alone, there are so many people who can understand your struggle. That’s why I want to share my story.4. Why did the author push herself during high school?A. She wanted to attend the University of San Francisco.B. It cost too much to study in a private school.C. Her parents controlled much of her life.D. Her family put her under pressure,5. What can we know about the author in the first two weeks?A. She couldn't fall asleep because of pressure.B. She couldn't pay attention to her study.C. She couldn't deal with her homesickness.D. She couldn't catch up with others.6. What does the underlined word “woefully” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Sadly.B. Surprisingly.C. Curiously.D. Happily.7. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?A. To look back on her past life.B. To increase her own confidence.C. To express appreciation to her mother.D. To encourage other girls like her to be positive.CIf you’ve ever had a dog, you know just how deep a connection you can develop with “man’s best friend”. But a dog has a much shorter life span — about 12 to 15 years long — than humans, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away.Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered by a South Korean company, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has successfully cloned at least 400 dogs, mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now, Sooam Biotech is planning to introduce their business toUKdog owners, offering them dogs that look just like their lost ones.Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg.Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months. To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price — around £63,000 (614,000 yuan). But if you can’t afford it now, you can also save the cells in a laboratory and access them at a later date. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exact same DNA but there will still be small differences between them. “The spots on a Dalmatian clone will be different, for example,” Insung Hwang, head of Sooam Biotech, toldThe Guardian. However, as magical as cloning might sound, there is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect replica of the original one.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not “clone-able”. Apart from genes, personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both “random elements [that] cloning technologies simply cannot overcome”, Professor Tom Kirkwood atNewcastle University,UK, toldThe Telegraph.Perhaps bringing our dogs back with cloning is not the best way to remember them after all.Kirkwood, a dog owner himself, pointed out: “An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go.”8. According to the article, Sooam Biotech Research Foundation is ______.A. working on plans to help dog owners enjoy their pets longerB. offering a way to help dogs give birth to more puppiesC. providing a service that will make copies of pet dogsD. introducing a completely new technique to clone dogs9. Which of the following statements about dog cloning is TRUE according to the article?A. Dog cloning technology hadn’t been put into practice until recently.B. Dog cloning is very expensive and usually takes several months to complete.C. Dog cloning is very popular among US andUKpet owners.D. Cloned dogs might develop different habits and characteristics even though they look very similar.10. Which of the following shows the correct order of the dog cloning process?a. an egg is taken from another dogb. a skin cell is taken from the pet dog and saved in a laboratoryc. the egg is placed in the womb of a female dogd. the DNA of the egg is replaced by the DNA from the skin celle. the egg grows into a puppy in two monthsA. acbde.B. adbce.C. bacde.D. badce.11. We can learn from the article thatKirkwood______ dog cloning.A. disapproves ofB. supportsC. is afraid ofD. is curious aboutDIvrea is a town in the Piedmont province of northern Italy. It is known for its localcarnival（狂欢节）organized in February.The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice a year the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti,lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to drawattention of boysin the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of localtyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses. Different elements are judged like for example throwing ability, fair play or decoration of carriages.12. The word "ammunition" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.A. decorationB. bulletsC. advertisementD. presents13. In Battle of the Oranges, the teams walking beside carriages act as ________.A. the Carnival generalB. the local feudal lordC. the rebellious people of IvreaD. the guards of local tyrant(暴君)14. Which of the following statements about Battle of the Oranges is NOT true?A. In the middle ages, people threw beans out of homes as a sign of rebellion.B. Girls throw oranges towards carriages in the parade to attract the attention of boys inside.C. Tons of oranges are used every year to hold the festival.D. People started to throw oranges because they are of low quality and not suitable to eat.15. What is this passage mainly about?A. A traditional activity in an Italian carnivalB. The origin of Battle of the OrangeC. How people enjoy themselves in the Orange CarnivalD. The rules of activities in carnivals in Italy第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

辽宁省2016-2017学年高一10月月考英语试题

辽宁省实验中学分校2016-2017学年度上学期阶段测试英语学科高一年级命题人：张瑞校对人：崔志娇第I卷（选择题）第一部分：听力（1-20题略）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,D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂上，从21题开始涂卡。

AMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route——through the boot(行李箱).Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitti ng a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said, “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.I force d the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.21. In which section of a newspaper can we read this article?A. Book reviewB. News reportC. Campus lifeD. Continued story22.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 “Finally it gave” means that ______.A. luckily the door was torn away in the endB. at last the wrench went brokenC. the lock came open after all his effortsD. the chance was lost at the last minute23. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the ditch was along a quiet country roadB. the accident happened on a clear warm dayC. the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditchD. Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attendedBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test--unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids che at because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, c heating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.24. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their heathC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once25. Some students like cheating mainly becauseA. the material in the test is very difficultB .they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons26. We can learn from the passageA. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice27. In the passage those cheaters are advised toA. spend more time on school than on sportsB. find good solutions instead of cheatingC. try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD. ask their classmates for good methods of studyCA Train Floating On AirA train tha t floats on air? It's not magic― it's magnets. And it's close to reality.In Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport.These trains use magnetic levitation technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.How does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.When an electrical current is sent through the track, the train moves. Turn the current backwards and the train slows down.Maglev doesn't rely on the friction of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional train. And it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stop.28. This passage is about __________.A. maglevB. magnetsC. levitationD. electricity29. Which of the following is a repelling action?A. C. D.30. What can we learn from the text?A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev train.B. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglev.C. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheels.D. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train.31. What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A. A maglev train can climb mountains without po wer while an ordinary one can’t.B. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowed.C. Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary one.D. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway train.DWhile I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I got this valuable advice from my father: “Do whatever interests you, and don’t let the work c hallenge you, but make sure you are challenging that work.”I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small sections. When I understood it clearly, I used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions correctly and always asked the q uestion “How do I do it?” As I kept working and discussed with my professor, I became more comfortable and those “how”questions soon turned into “what if I do this and that” types of questions.It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nightsbrainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy.I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting so me problem and didn’t know what to do. At that moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again, and soon I fixed the problem.My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the confidence to attempt any kind of project.32．According to the passage, the writer was interested in .A．developing traffic systemsB．doing challenging projectsC．winning great prizes D．writing different codes33．The writer asked the question “how do I do it” at fir st because .A．he had no clear idea about his program B．he was too shy to express himselfC．he wanted to be understood easily D．he preferred this kind of question34．We learn from the passage that the writer’s shipping program .A．would benefit people a lot B．was done together with othersC．was difficult and needed patience D．cost much money and energy35．What would be the best title of the passage?A．Do It Yourself B．No Pains, No GainsC．Learning with interest D．Practice Makes Perfect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。

辽宁省2016-2017学年高一英语下学期期中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）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。

AAs Easy as 1,2,3“Uno，dos，tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother，Matt，sat across the kitchen table from him.“What are you doing now，James？”asked Matt，slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”“Why do you have to count out loud？Why does it have to be in Spanish？”Matt asked.“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”“I’m going to another room，”Matt said as he picked up his books.“Okay，but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.A few weeks later，James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there，Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.“James，”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says？”Matt asked，expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.To Matt’s surprise，James read the sign out loud.“The sign says，‘Hello. Welcome to our store，”James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish，but he did not realize that his brother was advancing thatquickly.“I can als o read that sign over there，”James said，pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.“Well，James，”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”“Spanish is easy and fun to learn，”Ja mes replied，smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”Matt thought about James’s remark and said，“That’s a great idea！”21. Why did James count out loud in Spanish？A.To show his brother what he had learned.B.To practice pronouncing words properly.C.To show his brother how well he spoke.D.To complete his history report.22.Matt left the kitchen because he＿＿＿＿＿＿.A.needed to go to the storeB.couldn’t find his bookC.was mad at JamesD.couldn’t concentrate well23.Why was Matt surprised？A.He expected the store to have more signs.B.He had never seen words written in Spanish.C.He had never heard his brother say anything in Spanish before.D.He thought his brother would not be able to read the sign.24. How did James feel when his brother praised him？A.ProudB. EmbarrassedC. UpsetD. SurprisedBDo you know the differences between African and Asian elephants？African elephants have larger ears，and both male and female African elephants have tusks （象牙）while only male Asian elephants have tusks.African elephants have very useful trunks！Since they live where it’s alwaysreally hot，they get a trunk full of water and spray it on their backs. Then，they do the same thing with dust. The ends of their trunks work like little fingers. They use them to pick berries，grass，and other plants to eat. To drink，African elephants can suck up to two gallons of water in their trunks，then blow it into their mouths. If they sense danger，they use their trunks to make a loud warning sound. They even hug other elephants with their trunks.Do you know that the closest relative of elephants are manatees（海牛）？They can weigh up to 1，300 pounds and they are good swimmers. If they’re in really shallow water，they use their front flippers（鳍状肢）to walk while they eat sea plants and grasses. Because they are so slow and like warm，shallow water，manatees often get hurt by a part of the boat when the drivers don’t see them.Manatees are sea mammals like whales and dolphins. They live in water，but they need to breathe air，so they often go to the surface of water. They can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes.25. From Paragraph 1 we know that＿＿＿＿＿＿.A.male African elephants have longer tusks than female oneB.African elephants have smaller ears than Asian elephantsC.female Asian elephants don’t have tusksn elephants are larger than African elephants26. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？A.The way African elephants drink and eat.B.How African elephants use their trunks for protectionC.The shape of African elephants’ trunks.D.The use of African elephants’ trunks.27. Why do manatees often go to the surface of water？A.Because they can stay underwater for only 5 minutes.B.Because they want to watch out for danger.C.Because they need to breathe air.D.Because they want to look for food.CHiking, also walking for a long distance in the countryside is one of life’s simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sports writer Mark Waters considers the risks.Imagine the following...One day, Ronald decided to take up hiking. The next Sunday, he got up early, threw a sandwich and a bottle of water into a bag and headed for Sai Kung Country Park. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Park Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan .After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Ronald started to feel tired. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. In a panic, he called 999. However, when he got through to the police, he couldn’t tell them where he was because he didn’t have a map...Think about it...Put yourself in Ronald’s shoes. How could you stop this of thing happening to you? One way is to be know the following common types of danger.1.Getting lostFoggy weather is one reason why some walkers get lost. However, a more common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route. Always remember to bringa map and don’t be too confident . Always choose a route that is rig ht for you.2.Heat stroke(中暑）The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Don’t forget during exercise, it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 milliliters of water every 15 to 20 minutes.3.AccidentSome of Hong Kong’s paths are very hazardous and it’s not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.4.Hill fireOn average, over 10,000 hill fires a year take place in Hong Kong, injuring more than 600 people. Never light fires in non-marked areas and, if you see a hill fire,report it. Always stay calm and walk away from the fire into the wind.28. What can we learn about Ronald?A.He loves hiking and hikes regularly.B.He didn’t bring enough water on his hike.C.He brought about a map with him on his hike.D.He couldn’t tell his friends where he saw a fire29. The passage mentions Ronald .A.to warn people against hiking aloneB.to tell people hiking is difficult to be popularC.to show typical mistakes about hikingD.to remind people to call the police for help30. What does the underlined word ”hazardous” mean?A.Long.B.Narrow.plex.D.Dangerous.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Hiking Routes in MountainsB.When Fun Turns into TroubleC.Hill Fires and How to Avoid ThemD.The Adventures of Ronald the HikerDNo one knows for sure when and where the idea of April Fool’s Day for silly jokes started. One thing is for sure：Humans have been celebrating this holiday for hundreds of years，in many cultures.One popular theory has to do with the calendar. Many ancient cultures celebrated the new year in spring，around April 1. In Europe，Pope Gregory XIII introduced a new calendar in 1582. The calendar named January 1 as the new start of the year. Many people and countries did not accept the change for years. The story goes that people made fun of the people who still celebrated the new year on April 1.In some countries，people exchanged gifts on New Year’s Day. So another theory is that people began to give joke gifts on April 1 after the calendar changed. But there are probably as many explanations for the tradition as there are cultures that participate.One thing is for sure，almost everyone has fun！Mexicans celebrate a kind of fools’ day on December 28. You’re in trouble on that date if you lend someone something，because you won’t get it back！In India，March 31 is the day for tricks. Portuguese，who celebrate on the Sunday or Monday before the Christian holiday of Lent，throw flour on their friends. People in England say playing tricks after noon on April 1 brings bad luck to the jokers. The U.S. holiday doesn’t have special traditions.Humor expert Joel Goodman of the Humor Project teaches businesses and individuals how to enjoy the positive power of humor in daily life. When asked to define the difference between a good prank and a disgusting one，he explains，“It is the difference between laughing with someone and laughing at them. Humor should lift people up！”So start thinking now. If it looks like rain，fill someone’s closed umbrella with pieces of paper and watch them pour down when it is open. Glue a coin to the sidewalk with superglue. When people get annoyed trying to pick it up，remember to yell，“APRIL FOOLS！”Of course，kids can reply with the “Disappearing Class”. When the teacher goes out of the room for a moment，all the kids hide. Just remember，the person you play a trick on should be laughing，too. So keep the tradition going in the right spirit.32. What is certain ab out April Fool’s Day？A.It dated back to 1582.B.People enjoy this holiday.C.Its origin is related to a calendar.D.Pope Gregory XIII created this holiday.33. Which of the following is a good joke on April Fool’s Day？A.Skip a class when the teacher is out.B.Fill s omeone’s closed umbrella with water.C.Give someone soap that turns his hands dirty.D.Frighten someone to death by dressing up as a ghost.34. The underlined phrase “lift people up”（Paragraph 5）probably means＿＿＿＿.A.be used in daily livesB.make people feel happierC.change people’s attitudeD.be appreciated by people35. What does the author remind people when they play tricks？A.Tricks played should be amusing and harmless.B.The crazier the tricks are，the better.C.It’s better to use some special tools.D.Keep playing them for fun.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。

After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.The l etter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.1. Before the man had the accident, he __________.A. had toured around the worldB. had visited local prisonsC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been friends with the prison minister2. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ________.A. receive the school educationB. write to other people who needed encouragementC. meet the people who were depressedD. help other people who lost arms and legs3. From the officer’s short note we are told that __________.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the manD. his letters were very popular among the prisoners4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Humorous PersonB. Popularity of Special LettersC. Special Letters of EncouragementD. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersBTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse（虐待）. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were agedtwo to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?A. Children’s IQs have much to do with physical punishment.B. The study is about violence and cooperation of children.C. The children tested were divided into groups of four.D. Children’s mental development only relies on their IQs.6. What does the underlined word “spanked” refer to?A. punishedB. blamedC. testedD. praised7. What might be the best title for the text?A. The Best Way to Correct MisbehaviorB. Punishment Is the Best Way of EducationC. Cooperation Is the Most Successful BehaviorD. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?CCar companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets, ust like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and Mp4 do. Called “plug-in vehicles”, the se cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers won't have to stop at gas stations as often as usual.The technology is more than just cool. In our car-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gas we use, which keeps rising in cost now and then. Besides, driving around in these vehicles may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of greenhouse gas, which causes global warming.The first company-produced plug-in vehicles could hit the roads by 2020. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive.Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-vehicle world，Li-ion(锂离子)batteries are getting the mostattention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small package, and they last a longer time between charges. Li-ion batteries can fit laptops, cell phones, heart instruments and other similar pocket ones.But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion batteries to power about 12km of driving. What's more, the batteries are much expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance,” says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldn't pull any people, and it would cost $100,000.” S o researchers need to work out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questions.“The answers don't exist yet, ” Bohn says, “As a kid, I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions haven't been decided. That's what engineering is about-making a guess, running tests and getting fine results.”8. According to the passage, the main problem of the new car is ______________.A. the developingB. the speedC. the appearanceD. the batteries9. Which is true according to the passage?A. The “plug-in vehicles” will use electricity completely as driving power．B. The new technology will help protect our environment．C. The technology of using electricity as driving is quite practical now．D. The biggest challenge of the new technology is that it will cost us more energy．10. How does Bohn feel about the future of the technology according to the last paragraph?A. ConfidentB. Puzzled．C. Worried．D. Disappointed．11. According to the passage, the new technology is facing the problems except that_______．A. the new technology cannot come into use at presentB. the cost of the new technology is quite highC. the government won't support the technologyD. the size of the batteries is too big at presentDLook and feel better in 30 days, guaranteed!Our proven workout system helps you reach your goals fast.Many Americans are overweight for lack of physical activity.

Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.The SelfImmediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego (自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. ___17___ Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.___18___Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of t hose they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.The WorldIf one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. ___19___ In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. ___20___A. Family and FriendsB. How Big Dreams DieC. Does a big dream show one’s future?D. They simply fail until they succeed.E. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrongF. It is the last and the most terrible barrier.G.

AIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concl uded, from his work among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about rapid growth of everything in nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be go od time to take a long vacation from thinking.21. According to this passage, your intelligence probably________.A. stays the same throughout the yearB. varies from day to dayC. changes with the seasonsD. changes from year to year22. It seems that the cold of winter _________.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than the heat of summerD. decreases the ability to think23. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _________.A. spring and fallB. winter and summerC. summer and springD. fall and winterBSamuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.S amuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I g rew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note.”says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel’s a bility to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future.。

Alleviate the effects of climate change on the ArcticC. Increase scientific research on the regionD. All of the aboveWritingWrite an essay on the following topic:"The impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems"The Arctic is one of the most fragile ecosystems on our planet, and it is facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change. The rising temperatures in the region have led to the melting of ice, which is having a catastrophic impact on the wildlife and indigenous communities that call the Arctic home.One of the most significant effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems is the loss of sea ice. Sea ice serves as a crucial habitat for many species, including polar bears, seals, and walruses. With the melting of the ice, these animals are losing their homes and are struggling to find food and shelter. This has led to a decline in their populations and is threatening the delicate balance of the ecosystem.Furthermore, the melting of the ice is also affecting the indigenous communities that rely on the Arctic for their livelihood. Many indigenous peoples in the region depend on hunting and fishing for their survival, but with the loss of sea ice, their traditional ways of life are becoming increasingly unsustainable. This is leading to food insecurity, loss of cultural identity, and social dislocation among these communities.In addition to the loss of sea ice, climate change is also causing other disruptions in Arctic ecosystems. The warming temperatures are leading to the migration of species to new areas, the spread of diseases, and the acidification of the oceans, all of which are having a detrimental impact on the region's biodiversity.In conclusion, the impact of climate change on Arctic ecosystems is profound and far-reaching. It is imperative that wetake immediate action to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect the Arctic for future generations. This will require international cooperation, sustainable development practices, and respect for the rights and traditions of the indigenous communities that have lived in harmony with the Arctic for centuries. Only by working together can we ensure the survival of this unique and vital ecosystem.。

ANew research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) --it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and w hen the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.1．The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .A. give an exampleB. show the main idea of the passageC. make an argumentD. introduce the topic of the passage2．Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .A. people’s bad living habitB. environmental pollutionC. people’s condition at birthD. heart disease and cancer3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to__________ .A. the footprintB. the cementC. the harmful effectD. the genetic change4．Which of the following statements is true?A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.C. The findings help to find treatments for genetic damage caused by smoking.D. The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingBConfucius was born in today’s Qufu in Shandong Province in 551 BC. His family was far from being wealthy. But he was a hard-working pupil even in his childhood. As a young man of a little over twenty, he became a small official of the state. Since he was very knowledgeable and serious in work, he had become quite well-known by the time he turned thirty. Confucius had been to many of the states of the time, tryingto make his political views accepted by the rulers in running their states. But they turned a d deaf ear to his views and opinions. As a result, Confucius made up his mind to devote all his energies to education. When people learned about this, many of them sent their children to him to be educated. They were accepted and so Confucius became the first man in the history of Chinese education to start a private school.Yan Hui, a young man of humble origin, wanted to be accepted as Confucius’s student. But the family was so poor that they even had difficulty providing themselves with daily necessities. He was afraid he would be rejected as he could not afford the tuition(学费) One day he came to where Confucius was giving lectures and overheard Confucius say, “I’m ready to accept anyone that ca n bring 10 pieces of preserved meat for tuition, whatever his origin” Hearing this, Yan Hui hurried back home and told his friends Zi Lu and Zi Gong about it. A few days later, all three became Confucius’s students.Confucius was a dedicated educator, having accepted a total of 3,000 students in his life, of whom 72 were outstanding scholars. Through educational work, Confucius succeeded in spreading his political views, which eventually became an independent school of thought and had a great influence on China for thousands of years.5. Confucius had become very famous by the time he turned thirty because ______.A. he had rich knowledge and took his work seriouslyB. his political view had been widely acceptedC. he was a hard-working pupil when he was young.D. many people in the government knew him well6. The underlined phrase “turned a deaf ear to” in the first paragraph probably means “______”.A. were willing to accept somethingB. refused to listen to someoneC. gave away something important to others.D. made someone’s ear deaf7. From the last part of the first paragraph, we can learn that _____.A. nobody hoped to send their children to school thenB. Confucius was the first person to start education for all in ChinaC.

Confucius political views had a great effect on ChinaCFrank works at a school called Tumul K’in, which means “New Day” in the local language (Mayan Mopan).The school was founded in 2001 by Belizean Filiberto Penados, who received funding(基金) from the United Nations for the project.Frank said that there were about 60 students in five grades at the school, and they ranged from 12 to 20 years old. It was different from other schools in the area. While most trained youths for work that would take them away from their villages, Tumul K’in trained them for those things they could use locally, such as farming and various trades.“The difference in education is that students at Tumul K’in learn everything from mathematics and science to agricultural practices and how to raise livestock(家畜),” he said. “The main idea is to help maintain the Mayan lifestyle of village living and help it to be passed on to the next generation.”As for the radio station,Frank said that the effort was part of a program originally founded by the UN. “The radio station has been named ‘Ak Kutan FM’, or ‘New Day FM’. It will broadcast health information, such as where people can go to get tested for HIV, as well as report local and national news,” he said. For most, it was the first interaction(互动) with the local community that Mayans in this remote village would have. “I can’t stress enough how little contact many villagers have had with the outside world,” Frank said.“Many have never left their village nor seen something like a tele phone, refr igerator or even a world map.”9. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tumul K’in was founded by the United Nations.B. Tumul K’in was the only school in this area.C. Tumul K’in was founded in order to protect the local culture and traditions.D. Tumul K’in trained students so that they could find jobs after leaving the village.10．What’s the main function of the radio station “Ak Kutan FM”?A. To show the local people how to stay healthy.B. To help the local people maintain their own lifestyle.C. To let the outside world know more about Mayan culture.D. To allow the local people to have more contact with the outside world.11．From the passage we can infer that .A. Tumul K’in makes great contributions to the development of Mayan scienceB. the Mayan villages haven’t developed very much in the past few yearsC. more and more Mayans prefer to leave their hometown to work outsideD. the radio station “Ak Katan FM” has been popular with the local people12．The passage is mainly about .A. the education system of MayansB. the present living conditions of MayansC. the changes of the Mayan lifestyleD. the programs of developing the Mayan cultureDLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.

This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place.

AAs a boy, Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunities (机会) to go on working as a life-saver.1. When he was a small boy, books about the sea had made Sanders want to be ___.A. a surgeonB. an army manC. a sailorD. a life-saver2. At the age of 14, Sanders ___.A. worked as a doctor by cleaning the medicine bottlesB. met some doctors who were very friendly to himC. was interested in talking with patientsD. remained together with the doctors3. Having proved his skill to himself, Sanders ___.A. wanted to live a simple life like a countrymanB. came to realize that he was really working for his countrymenC. taught himself l ife-savingD. was highly respected by the old doctor4. When the war was over, he ___.A. learned from an old doctor because he was popularB. started to hate the sight of blood while workingC. served t he countrymen under an old doctor w ho needed someone to help himD. had few chances to be a “life-saver” because he was youngerBWhen it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills-----those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be ca rried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are important.While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas(规则); you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize (利用) those skills where appropriate（合适的）. Many team activities are focusedon developing keys to trust during challenging times.5. In the author's opinion, which of the following is important for a company to besuccessful?A. Specialized knowledge.B. Highly-skilled staff.C. Exceptional talent.D. Teamwork skills.6. According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills______.A. require special qualities and abilitiesB. are learned while working in a teamC. need exceptional mental abilitiesD. are quite complicated to learn7. Team building activities are good for______.A. hiring employees with special talentB. encouraging employees to co-operateC. helping employees work independentlyD. training employees in their special fields8.

People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses,they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.13. The passage mainly talks about ______.A. how to keep diseases from petsB.

ABorrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a newsmall business, is like going through the eye of a needle.Banks favor established-business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offerwell-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not sucha person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you thatmuch needed start-up capital（资金）. If your business is new and small, bankers will needto know as much as possible about you and your business.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well preparedwhen going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't evenhave the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often theydon't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow,many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?” and “As muchas possible.” Is it any wonder that lenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.21. By saying “Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle”, thewriter emphasizes______.A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importance of borrowing moneyC. the difficulty of getting a bank loanD. the start-up of a new small business22. Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.A. are in need of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large businessD. haven't borrowed money before23. Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.A. the form they fill in is incompleteB. their products are not technically advancedC. the amount of money they want to borrow is too bigD. they have no clear idea of how much they need to borrow24. The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ____.A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. learn a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loansBMy friend Robert started a new job this we ek and he’s been in the training class fortwo days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes andhe was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the nextday. He explained, “Sir, I had been told about this, but because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of worksimply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert tookit with him this morning just in case it was needed.When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman.“You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spokeup and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to thestore and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave themto the older man.The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift froma stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but hewas able to keep his job.“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing f or only knowing me a day!”More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.25. If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.A. be punishedB. be offered another jobC. put off the training classD. lose his job26. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.B. He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit him.C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.27. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Proper clothes for a strangerB. Fight against strict rulesC. A strange employerD. An unbelievable thingCWilly, a merchant, returned home to his own country from a faraway continent, where he had succeeded making a small fortune by hard work. He found on arriving at the port that all his relatives were having a large party.He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment that he did not even bother changing his grey flannel（法兰绒）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.When he entered the brilliantly lit room, his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy, “What a wonderful reception you have received from these people. They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home.”“Just wait and see!” whispered Willy, “They will soon change their looks!” Sayingthis he slipped a precious ring on his finger. All of a sudden, the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn’t know what to do. A man shook his hand, a cousin threw his arms around him, and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.“Has this beautiful, precious ring of yours the power of magic people?” asked the young man.“Oh, no!” replied Willy, “They see in this glittering diamond ring something that ma kes them think I am rich, and, unfortunately, they place wealth above everything else.”“What blind people!” exclaimed the young man. “It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches. Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord? And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues!”28．In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends? A. In such a modest mood. B. In travel-soiled clothes.C. Wearing a precious jewel.D. Without being accompanied.29．The word “irritated” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.A. excitedB. pleasedC. angryD. envious 30．According to the young man, people should ______.A. give up all the physical wealthB. appreciate more jewelry than goodnessC. observe carefully when judging a personD. avoid being blinded by the desire for wealth31．Which can be the best title of the passage?A. The Diamond RingB. The Welcome PartyC. The Modest ClothesD. The Joyful CrowdDFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well witha number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few---for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密) between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common ---they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.” It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differences of opinion. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.32. According to the author, ____.A.all those who get on well with each other are friendsB.friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD.every student has 6 friends33. In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ____.ing the same frequency while takingB.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD.having the same background34. Which of the following is not implied in the passage?A.Even friends may have differences of opinion.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.35. To strengthen friendly relationship, people ____.A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to eliminate(消除) differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions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。

ATwo traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger an gel asked why, the older angel replied “Things aren’t always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable (好客的) farmer. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry a nd asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why didn’t you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused（指责）. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal（封口）the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”21.

You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t.. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that perso n again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.25.

Lonely Planet, the world’s l argest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culture-hungry but time-poor travelers.London and ParisIt takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a high-speed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades－but each secretly looks up to the other.No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.In Paris, you'll see diners linger over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.Vienna and BratislavaAustrian capital Vienna and Slovakia city Bratislava are an hour apart by train. But since they are linked by the Danube River, the best way to travel is by ship. A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th ce ntury’s Habsburg dynasty splendor to scifi restaurants.Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces. You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace, and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee, which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list.Bratislava is best known for its fine dining－the remarkable UFO restaurant. You can enjoy a meat-laden dinner here in an amazing setting.高一英语试卷第3页共8页29. What’s the relationship between Lond on and Paris according to the text?A. They help each other.B.

I started looking through the contact list and calling numbers to see if I could figure out whose phone it was. Unfortunately, only one person answered and she didn’t recognized the number that I was calling. She made a comment of “It is just so nice that you are trying to fi nd out whose phone it is.”Since that lady didn’t know whose phone it was, my friend suggested that we go back to the street and the house that we found the Xiao-Mi phone in front of. I knocked on the door and two college age people answered. They hadn’t l ost their phones, but as I told them the story and mentioned some names on the contact list, the young man said that he had those names also and it must be the phone of one of their friends. Then, both of the people commented on how wonderful it was that I took the time to find the owner.I really didn’t have anything to say, because in my mind, I was just doing the right thing. I never considered keeping the phone—it wasn’t mine. I immediately tried to find the owner, because that is exactly what I would want someone to do if either I or my family members lost their phones.Sometimes, helping others is just doing the right thing. And, it felt awesome when I found out it would get back to the owner. The best part was I didn’t say who I was—give a name, number —because doing the right thing felt awesome and was more than enough for me!33.The author made many calls with the cell phone he picked up to _________A.call the policeB. call his friends for helpC. find the phone’s ownerD. check whether the phone would work34．How did the author finally find the owner?A.
