AYuoki, a restaurant in Germany, is not your everyday all-you-can-eat buffet (自助餐）. For starters, there isn't an actual buffet to fill your plate. I nstead, customers are seated at a table and provided with iPa ds which they can use to order up to five small dishes every t en minutes. They can eat as much as they want for 120 minut es, but having the food served at short intervals (间隔) allows diners to constantly assess how hungry they are an d order accordingly, preventing food waste. Also, the owner, Luan Guoyu, believes, “our eyes are bigger than our stomach”, so not being able to see the cooked food at the buffet prevents people from ordering more food than they can actual ly eat.But Luan Guoyu's most effective way of fighting food waste, a nd the onethat has attracted media attention, is his €1 ($1.15) fine for fo od still left on the plate. “It’s called ‘ all-you-can-eat’” he says, adding that the extra charge is not meant to inc rease his income, but to act as a warning against wasting foo d.Luan Guoyu's system is unique in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, but not in Germany. Okinii, a Japanese-style restaurant in Dusseldorf, has also been charging custom er, the same € 1 tax for unfinished food on their plates since 2 013.With so many people living on the edge of their nations, an d food waste becoming a serious problem in developed count ries, it will be interesting to see if more restaurants will start ca rrying out the “eat up or pay up” policy. Even if they give the money from this fine to charity, it would still help them to save money in dealing with waste, so it's a win for everyone.21. What does the underlined word “assess” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Realize.C. Judge.D. Compare.22. What will Luan Guoyu do when people can’t finish the food on their plates?A. He will charge them extra money.B. He will advise them to eat up the food.C. He will ask them to take the food away.D. He will warn them to order less food next time.23. What is the text mainly about?A. Various German restaurants.B. The seriousness of food waste.C. Secrets of managing a restaurant.D. Special ways to fight food waste.24. What does the author think of the “eat up or pay up” policy ?A. Unfair.B. Funny.C. Reasonable.D. Doubtful.BI had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at St. A nne's College of Further Education. In celebration of this newbeginning, I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothin g.Like many young people my age, I was under the impression t hat the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be se en in public. But for my first day as a student I had made an ef fort to look what my mother called ‘respectable’.There were fifteen of us, sitting in the theatre hall, while the h ead of the drama department, Mr. Wilson, gave us a warm we lcoming speech. To my horror (恐惧), he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a dra ma course. I had no idea what I would say. The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing, I was painfully sh y.My worry grew as it came closer to my turn. One by one, the new students excitedly explained their reasons. Then it was th e turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment be cause I was too busy thinking about what I would say. ‘My na me’s Tracy and I'm from Blackburn’, she said, and then added no further information.Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力). I relaxed, knowing that you could get away with saying solittle about yourself. It gave me confidence.After Mr. Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch , I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy. She looked very unfriendly. Taking a deep breath, I introduced myself. To my surprise, she looked up at me and gave me a very bright, sweet smile. That was twenty-seven years ago, and although we never did become famous stars, we're still best friends.25. Why did the author dress nicely for her first day at college ?A. She felt a need to dress properly.B. She wanted to fit in with the other students.C. She was under pressure from her mother.D. She wanted to look like a great star.26 . Why did the author feel nervous? .A. Because she had never spoken in publicB. Because it was her turn to start firstC. Because she didn't know what to talk aboutD. Because the other students were so excited27. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 5 refer to ?A. Tracy also seemed extremely worried.B. Tracy hadn' t said very much.C. The other students reacted politely to Tracy.D. All atten tion was on Tracy.CIn an effort to discourage people from using plastics, scientist s have been hard at work inventing alternative packaging pro ducts.The idea of using seaweed（海草） to make eco-friendly water bottles has been around for a few years. Recen tly, Ari Jonsson took his invention—a water bottle made from red seaweed—to show off at a festival. The bottles will only hold their shape as long as they are filled. As soon as these bottles are empty they will begin to break down, though they would be perfectly safe to eat. Ari Jonsson's bottles are a step closer to a widely used alternative to the current plastic ones.The eatable water container is not the only product to add to o ur image of the future. Narayana Pessapaty has also created eatable spoons. After the success of his spoons, Mr. Pessapa ty is ready to expand and introduce forks and chopsticks to hi s menu. His aim is to largely reduce the amount of plastic was te, which is a huge problem for waste sites all over the world,It is a product that may take up t0 500 years to break down, a nd recycling companies worldwide are struggling to deal with i t.Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, this new packaging is also cheap to produce and therefore cheap to bu y. Even better is the fact that similar eatable cutlery can be m ade at home, possibly a science project for children or just fun with friends. Why not experiment and create your own recipe s?28. Why do scientists invent alternative packaging products?A. To make people's life more convenient.B. To show off th eir inventive talents.C. To change the way we picnic outside.D. To reduce the amount of plastic waste.29. What makes Art Jonsson's water bottles eco-friendly?A. They can be made at home.B. They are cheap to produce and buy.C. They will hold their shape when they are filled.D. They will break down themselves when empty.30. What do Ari and Narayana's inventions have in common?A. They are convenient to carry.B. They are safe to eat.C. They can be used for a short time.D. They are heavier than plastics.31. What can be inferred from this passage?A. Home-made eatable cutlery is likely to be popular.B. Eatable cutlery will completely replace plastics in the near f uture.C. No recycling companies can break down plastic waste.D. It's unsafe for individuals to invent eatable cutlery at home. DTwo men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a lon g journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other wa s a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farme r said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”“What do you want to do?” the businessman asked. “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said, “you star.”“Let’s ma ke the rules first,” the businessman said. “That’s not fair.

After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, sho ok hands with the jeweler and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife like d the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on ho w to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully r eplied "I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactl y like that pearl".The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newsp apers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl.

They c ome and visit some of the most famous places in England: Bi g Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.You can see some of the most interesting places in London b y getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the Lon don Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.The River Thames is London’s main waterway. It has shaped the capital’s landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along th e river.The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben, has bec ome one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bel l, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tow er may be London’s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visi t some of the rooms in August and September. And most mor nings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard.About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen’s homes---Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the roo ms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictur es, tables and chairs again.Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, t he best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakf ast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place t o stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England’s many ales (浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and caf es in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.27. The underlined word “landscape”(paragraph3) is closest i n meaning to ______.A. sightsB. interestC. growthD. travel28. Which place may be London’s most visited tourist spot?A. The River ThamesB. The Tower of LondonC. Buckingham PalaceD. Big Ben29. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to _ _____.A. visit Windsor CastleB. tour the Buckingham PalaceC. tour the city along the River ThamesD. watch the soldiers outside changing guards30. We can learn from the text that _______________.A. the sound of the Big Ben can be heard everywhereB. Windsor Castle has been rebuiltC. only some of the hotels in England serve breakfastD. the London Eye can carry you where you like to go第二节（共5小题，每题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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2016-2017学年高一英语下学期期中试题（含解析）（考试时间120分钟，分值150分）II. GrammarDirection: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For t he blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper f orm of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Merriam-Webster defines a princess as a “member of a royal family”,“t he wife of a prince” or “usually an attractive girl or woman who 21_________(treat) with special atten tion”.Nowhere in that traditional definition 22________ the words “s punk”,“drive” or “determination” appear. And yet the latest W alt Disney animation Moana seems determined to redefine 23 _________a princess is all about.In Moana, Disney’s latest movie provides a positive spin on th e princess spirit. The CG (Computer Graphics) -animated musical film follows 24________adventures of the he adstrong teenage daughter of a Pacific Island chief and her st ruggles to find her identity.25_________ the daughter of Chief Tui, Moana is expected to follow her village’s traditions and rules, including the one her f ather 26_________(emphasize) since she was an infant: “Don’t go beyond the reef.”Unfortunately for Moana – 27_________name just happens to be the word for “ocean” in many Polynesian languages – she i s drawn to the water, which she finds wondrous and exciting. When the food supply for the island suddenly becomes deplet ed, Moana sets forth on a journey inspired by *ancestral tales of once-mighty *demigod Maui who may help her save her island hom e.The story, 28_________(inspire) by the history and tradition s of the Pacific, is a breath of fresh ocean air for everyone exh austed by the too-familiar princess-on-a-mission Disney trope. From birth, Moana is a respected part o f her community, and her parents and grandmother are proud of who she is and the fact 29________ she will one day make a fantastic chief, just like her father and his father before him. There is no love interest for Moana – she doesn’t need one.More importantly, 30________ mothers and fathers tell their da ughters what it means to be a princess, the words “adventuro us,”“*tenacious” and “compassionate” can now be added to t he definition.(B)The “space race” took place between the United States and th e former Soviet Union. Both countries competed to see which would be the first 31__________ (land) a person on the Moon. Early space ventures were limited to satellites that orbited the planet Earth. The Soviets launched the world’s first satellite o n October 4, 1957; Sputnik I orbited Earth more than a thousa nd times 32_________ it plunged back into the planet’s atmos phere and burned up. The United States’ first satellite was Ex plorer 1, launched the following January.In 1959, both the United States and the Soviet Union succeed ed in achieving their goal of sending spacecraft called probes beyond Earth’s gravitational pull. The Soviet Luna 1, Launche d on January 2, passed the Moon and 33_________(continue) through space. Two months later, the United States launched Pioneer 4, which followed the same path as Luna.34________ _eventually entered orbit around the Sun.The first person in space was Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. He orbited Earth in Vostok 1 on April 12, 1961. 35__________(catch) up with Soviet Union in the race, the United States se nt Alan Shepard into space in Freedom 7 on May 5, 1961.

S. astronaut Neil Armstrong. 36_________, on July 20, 1969, b ecause the first human to set foot on the Moon. The United St ates Apollo program lasted 37. __________ 1972; its missions carried out extensive research of the lunar surface and even b rought back samples of moon rocks.Also, in the history of space exploration men and women hav e been seen living on space stations, As for the U.S., 38_____ ___ (send) the first such station into space in Soviet Union in 1971 made it eager to have its own. Then, the first U.S. space station, skylab, 39.________(launch) in May 1973 and orbited for six years. Since the 1960s, both countries also have sent s pacecraft to explore almost all the planets in the solar system. Atmospheric probes, surface landings, and flybys (近天体探测飞行) have produced photographs if and information about the s urfaces, moons, and atmospheres of many planets. However, 40__________(not set) foot on any other planet before, astronauts as well as scientists are still devoted to space programs.III.

However, the prize wasn’t give n for his 2004 self-penned autobiography but “for having created new poetic exp ressions within the great American song tradition.”It is certainly a(n) 42________choice. According to Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, arts awards have almost always exclusively had an inherent bias toward so-called “high culture”, a category 43________ not to include pe ople who got their start singing in coffeehouses.With that said, the Swedish Academy has made a bold 44___ _____ to expand the definition of “literature”. It has, effect, ope ned the doors to popular culture, often 45_______ to as “low c ulture”.We live in a world where people who read comic books, watc h television shows, listen to podcasts and pop music, are ofte n also those who enjoy poetry and opera. And the Nobel, in 4 6 __________ Dylan’s work as literature, acknowledges that ar tists create works of popular culture with just as much care, c ontrol, courage and 47________ as Ernest Hemingway did sitti ng down at his typewriter.Dylan experts can battle over whether or not the singer indee d writes poetry- he was given the prize for his lyrics and music .If music and lyrics count as literature, as plays have done, co uld not other forms? Could we, someday, see a Nobel in litera ture go to US TV producers David Simon, Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, or even US singer Beyonce?As Los Angeles Times pop music 48________ Robert Hilburnsaid about Dylan’s work: “He’s great cultural figure because of his words and his ideas.”And for all the flash and bang of any performed art or filmed project, it’s the words that 49 _________, wrote Carolyn Kellog g of the Los Angeles Times.American TV series Breaking Bad (2008-2013) didn’t exist without US actor Bryan Cranston’s brilliant p erformance--but he couldn't have gotten there without the words on the pa ge.Dylan’s Nobel says that words don't have to be bound within 50. ________ to be literature. It’s possible the Swedish Acade my will back off its radical choice. But for now, literature is all around us. Read it, listen to it or watch it.(B)A. fertilizationB. restoredC. surfaceD. contained AB. gr owth AC. bearsAD. extinct BC. waste BD. float CD. determines ABC. c onsistsMost plants reproduce by forming seeds. Flowering plants us ually produce seeds that are 51. __________ in fruits. The scie ntific name for such a plan is angiosperm (被子植物). The fruit covering makes seeds more likely to be scattere d over a wide area by animals, wind, or water. A plant that gro ws in many area is less likely to become 52. ________ than on e that grows in only one area. The fruit of an angiosperm is no t necessarily something that people can eat. In this case, the word fruit simply refers to the mass of plant tissue that surrou nds the send. Some angiosperm fruits are actually poisonous. Angiosperms depend on male and female flower parts to prod uce their seeds and fruits. At the center of the flower is the pis til, a female part that 53________ of a long column with a roun d base called an ovary (子房). Inside the ovary are the tiny ovules (胚珠) that become seeds if they are fertilized. 54__________occ urs when pollen from a stamen, a male flower parts, joins the ovule inside the ovary. Pollen that reaches the tip of the pistil grows a long tube down into the ovary. Once pollen joins the ovule inside the ovary, a seed begins to form, the ovary beco mes fruits, and the other flower parts wither and die.The form of a fruit 55__________ the manner in which seeds a re scattered. For example, birds and other animals may eat s oft, fleshy fruits, such as berries. These animals deposit the s eeds in their 56_________, usually far from the parent plants. Some hard-shelled fruits that 57________- such as coconuts- are carried by water to faraway regions. Some other types of fruits rely on the wind to scatter their seeds. The milkweed 58. _________ f ruit in the form of dry seedpods that grow until they burst. Onc e the seedpods burst, hundreds of seeds, each attached to m any light, silken threads, are carried off by the wind.No matter how much angiosperm fruits and seeds may differ, each seed contains the same blueprint for 59. ________. Unde r the right conditions, the tiny embryo within the seed grows in to a new plant. The embryo is made up of a root, a shoot, and one or two seed-leaves called cotyledons (子叶), which provide food for the sprouting plant. As the seed sp outs, the root anchors the seeding in the earth, and the shoot grows up through the soil. As soon as the seeding penetrates the soil’s 60. _________, it begins to grow its first true leaves.IV.

Reading ComprehensionSection A.Directions: Read the following four passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given i n the passage you have just read.(A)As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many villag e communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the po wer-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action", even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in confl ict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output can not match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporte rs insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclea r and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting E U ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official repo rt on wind farms" impact on the countryside becomes even m ore extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report , and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidenc e that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surp rise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaini ng why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place t o produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics ofcoalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information shoul d be available so that people can reach their own conclusions , rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.76. We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.A．energy policy catches much attention of the publicB．the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsC．many village communities are satisfied with the s ubsidiesD．the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents77. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power____. A．is more rapid than that of carbon-based power B．guarantees an increase in energy outputC．is expected to be much better than that of nuclearpowerD．agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation78. It can be inferred from the passage that____. A．an official report will settle the energy problemB．the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farmsC．the two parties have agreed on a further negotiati onD．political beliefs concerning energy issue go again st facts79. Which of the following reflects the author’s opinion? A．Increase political impact on energy policy.B．Release a statement of supporters on wind farms .C．Let the nation judge the facts about wind power. D．Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusi ons.(B)HOLIDAY FUN AT THE FOWERHOUSE500 HARRIS STREET ULTIMO TELEPHONE (02)9270111 Join in the holiday fun at the powerhouse this month linked to our new exhibition, Evolution & Revolution: Chinese dress 17 00s to now.

Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different ba ckgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gen der, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.As a result, companies are looking for individuals who can ma nage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly, ma nagers are discovering that age differences among workers ar e a major cause of concern.This has been an important realization. The management diffi culties and challenges have led some experts to study interge nerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies t hat employ individuals from different generations.The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinio n about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. That is, it is not an accident that young em ployees will be different from older employees. In fact, if empl oyers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible t hat anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties i n the company.Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even last ing enmity if people are not careful. That individuals from diffe rent generations should come to view each other as if they we re from different sides of warring countries should not be surp rising.It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form al liances (联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations repr esent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to wor k.If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were rea dily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe th at prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, y ou were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be care ful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. Yo u would make angry people who seem to believe that problem s will always solve themselves. Such optimism in the face of d ifficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.84. What most possibly makes it difficult to organize or run a c ompany?A. Employees are in different generations.B. Employees are of different backgrounds.C. Employees work in different styles.D. Employees are in different races.85. Employers should pay attention to ______ if they want to a void anger between employees.A. the different understanding of problems in the workplaceB. the different views on value of work and working methodsC. the different generations of employees in the workplaceD. the different ways of expressing anger in the company86. The word “enmity” is closet in meaning to ______.A. hatredB. sorrowsC. ignoranceD. forgiveness87. What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?A. Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each ot her.B. It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendl y way.C. The weakness of human nature causes the anger betweenemployees.D. The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.(D)Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). Durin g its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens.In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some det ails of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mentio n of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, t he government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working cla ss, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution.The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this pi cture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles ma y have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feedin g the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789.Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mentio n that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king’s troops. Dickens does include some accurate details, h owever, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. T he scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd deta il, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effor t as they watched the killing machine at work.Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced peopl e into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give rea ders some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted abou t a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 th ousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thou sand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were memb ers of the ministry or nobility.8 8 .What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 mos t probably mean?A. Discussed.B. Revealed.C. Provided.D. Twisted.8 9 .Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers.B. The nobles’ mistreating and killing people is the main cause of the revolution.C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in th e course of the Rule of Terror.D. Women were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed.9.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dickens was once among the revolutionaries sto rming the Bastille.B. There was an extreme disorder and horror durin g the revolution.C. Nobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilities.D. Classic literary works may serve as history textb ooks to a great degree.9 1 .Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Collapse of the French EmpireB. Unknown Facts during the Rule of TerrorC. Dickens’ Description of the French RevolutionD. A Critical View on A Tale of Two CitiesSection BDirection: In the following article, 4 sentences have been rem oved.

For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film.C. The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of h ours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time.D.

For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment –in order to take it up.AC. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that –we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.。

Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks fo r their blessing.Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is c elebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harve st. On December 4, 1619, the Pilgrims from England landed n ear what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and th anked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harv est. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachus etts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their s pecial feast. Everyone brought food.In time, other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years bef ore there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Josepha Hale persuade d Abraham Lincoln to do something about it. He proclaimed （宣布）the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving.

The Han people have many interesting Spring Festival customs.

ADo you know Australia? Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth --- the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers’ exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers’ exhibition. After visi ting Perth we spent the day in the country-side. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could.There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.21. Which statement about Australia is right?A. It’s the largest country in the world.B. It’s not as large as China.C. It’s as large as Shanghai.D. It’s the largest island in the north of the earth.22. How does the government fight pollution ?A. by cleaning sea waterB. by using little airC. by making many lawsD. by growing special plants23. How can we describe Perth according to the text?A. It’s famous for having wild flowers i n winter.B. It’s bigger than any other city in Australia.C. It’s standing on the top of a hill.D. It’s located in the west of Australia.24. Which of the following can we learn from the text？A. Everywhere in Australia, you will see a large number of sheep.B. Australia is a crowded country.C. Australians are not friendly to foreign visitors.D. Australia has more kangaroos than sheep.BThere is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people look the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.25.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can develop unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particularculture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.29.
