14-15学年牛津高二上学期B1U1阶段测试IClass: _______ N ame: _______ Marks: _____ 满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AMaking choices is necessary, but not always easy. Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is “Hobson's choice"・ It is often used to describe a difficult choice・ But that is not what it really means. Its real meaning is to have no choice at all. The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson. Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge・ Mr. Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University. But he dicing really trust them to take good care of the horses. So, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. They could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. Or, they could not take any horse at all. Thus, a Hobson^s choice was really no choice・Another expression for having no real choice is "between a rock and a hard placet It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices — none of them is good・ For example, your boss may ask you to work late. But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends・ If you refuse to work, your boss may get angry. But if you do not go to the movies with your friends, they may get angry. So what do you do? You are "caught between a rock and a hard placetAnother expression 一"between the devil and the deep blue sea" — also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things. Its meaning seems clear. You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell. Or, you can choose to drown in the sea. Some experts in lexicology（词V匚学）say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships. The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship・ If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak（漏），then a sailor must fix it. The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation. He was hung over the side of the ship, working "between the devil and the deep blue sea”・There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices —u on the horns of a dilemma"（左右为难）.The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices・ When your dilemma has horns（角人making a choice becomes impossible・When you are “on the horns of a dilemma，； no matter which horn you choose, something bad will happen.1.We could learn from Mr. Hobson，s story that he ____ .A.wanted to leach the students a lessonB.liked to make things difficult for the studentsC.didn^t permit the students to ride his best horsesD.didn't know the students were good at riding horses2.The underlined word “seanT in Paragraph 4 refers to _____ ・A.the line where two pieces of wood meetB.the piece of wood which begins to leakC・ lhe side of the ship which was being hung overD. the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship3・ Which of the following expressions doesn't mean bad choices?A.Between the devil and the deep blue sea.B・ Hobson，s choice・C・ Between a rock and a hard place・D. On the horns of a dilemma.BThe bell rings and in a few moments, the most disordered part of the day begins — lunch. Food begins to be dished out, and some students are eager to see their friends, while others cannot bear the thought of what is about to happen. Anxiety（焦虑）builds for many as they think today will be just like any other day. Press repeat and this happens every day.But Bridport Elementary in Bridport introduced a system to solve this classic scene of loneliness and meet new friendships・ There9s hardly room for the ques tion, “Will you save me a seat?99 at Bridport Elementary, where students are guided to assigned（指左白勺）tables and given the opportunity to open their hearts and minds to a new friend・ The school's president Kilbourne had observed too many days in which the same kids were left alone, while the others were always accompanied by friends. Something had to change・The school gives a new system in which students line up to pick a numbered stick before getting their food. Each stick has a number that's linked with a table, showing where they will eat lunch for the day.This system was used five months ago. Today, if you walked into the cafeteria, you wouldn^t find any numbers or any sticks. Kilbourne made a promise to the students that the system would eventually disappear if she saw that students learned to value inclusivity（包容）and friendship.People really saw a change・ A girl was walking around by herself with her lunch in her hand, and four tables asked her to join them. At another table, a kindergartener was sitting alone for just a few mo me nts before two sixth graders came over to sit with him, and actively included him in conversation.Now we are left wondering: how can lessons learned from the cafeteria be used elsewhere? Students and adults all over the country could benefit from an approach in which every person is always welcome at the table in any situation.4・ What inspired the president of Bridport Elementaiy to introduce the system?A.Students didn't speak to friends at a table.B.Students didn't manage to get a seat in the cafeteria・C・ Students had no one to communicate with in a crowd・D. Students had little interest in lunch due to the pressure of study.5・ Why could no numbers or sticks be found in the cafeteria?A.Because students were tired of them.B.Because they didn't work out as expected・C.Because they were replaced by something else.D.Because there was no need for them any more・6. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A.The benefits of the system.B.The disadvantages of the system.C.The wider use of the system.D.The lessons learned from the system.CGood luck symbols and their meaningsRich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that holds us together is luck. Let^s have a look at the meanings of some luck symbols.Bamboo is often connected with growth not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of relationships, careers and life in general・That is why people believepresenting bamboo to another person is akin to presenting the person with good luck・Considered to be one of the gods of wealth by the Buddhists, the Buddha isconnected with prosperity（繁荣），success and financial gains. Placing theBuddha diagonally（成对角线地）opposite the main door activates and greets thegood energy entering the house・ While the Buddha is admired for his happiness,completeness and wisdom of contentment, rubbing his stomach is believed to bringgood luck・A symbol of fertility and rebirth, presenting someone with eggs is consideredlucky. A brown egg is connected with not just luck but also happiness. Eggs are alsoused to encourage the growth of crops, protect young children from misfortune andalso as a means to keep away from the evil eye・A ladybug is a symbol of patience, good health and wealth. A ladybug that landson a person is said to take away the illness. A ladybug landing herself on a recentlymarried woman brings happiness and joy.Call them the luck bringers, for spotting a penny lying on the floor is indeed your luck. You know the saying, "Find a penny, pick it up, and all that day you'll have goodluck!”There are many more symbols of good luck. However, one should never rely completely on these symbols for success, and should view them as just con fide nee boosters ・ Good Luck!7. The underlined word u akin" probably means _____A. due B・ useful C. similar D. harmful8.Which of the following can bring us good luck?A.Keeping a ladybug as a pet.B.Rubbing the Buddha9s stomach・C.Dropping a penny to the floor.D.Placing the Buddha against the main door.9.According to the text, a brown egg ______ .A.may invite the evil eyeB.is not a sign of good luckC.can bring people happinessD・ is more delicious than ordinary ones10.What does the author tell us in the last paragraph?A.Learn how to get good luck・B.Learn more symbols of good luck.C・ Try hard to build up our confidence・D.Rely on ourselves rather than the luck symbols・DWhen people ask me what I want to do when I grow up, I say, “I want to change the world and find happiness.” That/s a hard one, don% you think? In a world full of war, poverty and hatred（仇恨）,if s definitely not possible. Well，that's what some people say.But you know what I think? There is hope・ And you find happiness everywhere 一old couples who've been together for a long time, little kids running around the playground, inspirational books, little babies, changes of seasons — I find happiness in every single little thing. I find it every minute.Around me, I find people of my age, doing drugs, going to parties 一just to gain attention. We're so busy being selfish, comparing ourselves to others, setting unrealistic goals for ourselves, wanting to look prettier, lose more weight, make more money, and be more popular. But then I think, is that really what life's all about? There are innocent kids out there, being abused, poor, and hungry・ And here we all are complaining about how hard our lives are.Most of us are always depressed and unhappy・ Why do we always try to run away from our problems, rather than just facing them? I mean this is life! You cannot run away from it, and you cannot hide from it definitely・ All we can do is to accept what life gives us, and face our problems, difficulties and frustrations （挫折）• And maybe, just maybe, they'll turn into your best friends. They'll make you stronger, they'll help you face reality and they'll teach you to value the little things in life.Because we always fail to look at the brighter side of things, we always fail to find happiness in little things. There are so many beautiful things around which we seldom notice. Maybe that is why people can't find happiness; we keep looking for it in the wrong places — money, fame and so on."FIND" happiness ——we all think it's some sort of destination. We keep “looking" for it; we wake up every day wishing it would be the day when everything goes right.What we all fail to understand is that happiness isn't really something that we can “fincT・ IFs not a destination, it's not something you find along the road of life; it's a choice, a feeling — you can be happy wherever, whenever, only if you choose to be. Happiness is something within you, waiting to be found, waiting to help you escape from this harsh reality・So here are your questions:Are you happy?Have you found what you are looking for?Do you think life is hard?Have a great day, and I hope yoif re happy with whatever you do. Life can be hard at times, but I hope you find the strength to face whatever it gives you.11 • What does the author think about the idea of changing the world?A. Hard.B. Easy.C. Possible.D. Impractical・12.According to the third paragraph, many of the authors peers ______ .A.are popular and admiringB.have a bad attitude to lifeC・ suffer from extreme povertyD・ are very generous and wealthy13.Why do most people feel very unhappy?A.They might live a poor life・B.They have difficulty getting best friends.C.They fail to value friendship with others.D.They lack the courage to face difficulties.14.Which of the following is TRUE about happiness according to the author?A. Happiness is an attitude・B・ Happiness is too unreal to feel.C・ Happiness is a kind of destination.D. Happiness means that everything goes right.15 The author's purpose in writing this article is to tell us _______ .A. what happiness isB・ where happiness isC.why we feel unhappyD.who controls our happiness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。

Such habits may be relaxing but can wreck a healthy lifestyle, say specialists at Texas Children’s Hospital.“For some kids, the state of feeling bored triggers (引发) eating,” says Jennifer Thomas, a doctor at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston,Texas. “A child can pick up 5 to 10 pounds over the course of a summer, so it’s important to recognize the difference between boredom (无聊) and hunger.”Because children may be adjusting (适应) to lack of routine, adding some structure to their daily schedules can help. “For example, instead of letting kids eat while they watch television, permit eating only in the kitchen with the television turned off,” says Thomas. “T his way can help determine if they are really hungry or just bored.”If hunger causes a snack attack, nutritious snacks should be available (可得到的) and easy to reach, says Thomas. She suggests two or more servings of fruit and three or more servings of vegetables as a reasonable (合情理的) daily goal. Thomas says, “Fresh or frozen fruit is better than fruit juice. Fresh or frozen vegetables are better because canned vegetables usually contain salt.”In general, kids should avoid snacks with high sugar content, says Thomas. “More importantly, if a sugary snack takes the place of healthier food, the child is not getting the nutrition he or she needs. High-fat food tends to make a child feel worried, while eating foods that are naturally lower in fat will make it easier for kids to feel more energetic and stay on the go.”36. What can help to stop children from eating because of boredom?A. Giving them a daily schedule.B. Giving them a lot of snacks.C. Preventing them from watching TV.D. Making them eat a lot of fruits.37. What kind of snacks should we give children?A. Fruit juice.B. Frozen fruit.C. Canned vegetables.D. Snacks rich in sugar.38. Foods that are naturally lower in fat are necessary for children because .A. they help children lose weightB. they help children get necessary nutritionC. they stop children from getting boredD. they make children active and energetic39. We can infer from the text that .A. it’s hard to tell the difference between bor edom and hungerB. children may get bored for lack of routine in summerC. we should limit children’s eating while they’re watching TVD. nutritious snacks should be available at any timeBChina says 16 endangered finless porpoises (江豚) have been found dead since the beginning of the year and experts blame water pollution and climate change for pushing the species toward extinction.The freshwater porpoise —popularly known in Chinese as the “river pig” — mainly lives in China’s Yangtze River and two lakes linked to the river.Authorities(官方) have discovered 10 dead porpoises in Dongting Lake in the central province of Hunan since March, according to a statement by the government of Yueyang City, which is located on the lake’s shore. Another six dead porpoises have been found in Poyang Lake in the eastern province of Jiangxi since the beginning of the year. Experts warn that the species will be extinct within a matter of years.Wang Kexiong, a researcher at China’s Institute of Hydrobiology, said water pollution, shipping and sand dredging (挖掘) were all possible contributing factors to the recent deaths.Many rivers in China have become heavily polluted with poisonous waste from factories and farms —pollution blamed on more than three decades of rapid economic growth and slow enforcement (实施) of environmental protection laws.The report said climate change also could be to blame as the dry weather has caused water levels to drop and makes it more difficult for the porpoises to find food. Tests have shown that some of the porpoises are believed to have died of starvation (饥饿).In 2006, China was estimated (估计) to have only 1,200 finless porpoises left. That same year, the Baiji — a freshwater dolphin also native to the Yangtze River — was declared extinct. Earlier this year, a survey found just 65 “river pigs” in Dongting Lake and 300-400 in Poyang Lake.Following the recent deaths, Yueyang City promised to investigate and increase protection of the remaining porpoises in Dongting Lake.40. How many river pigs are estimated to live in Dongting Lake?A. 49.B. 55.C. 59.D. 65.41. The following factors of river pigs’ deaths are mentioned EXCEPT .A. water pollutionB. climate changeC. food shortageD. illegal fishing42. We can learn from the text that .A. river pigs’ deaths can be reduced if measures are taken in advanceB. river pigs’ deaths are completely caused by human beings’ activitiesC. climate change is likely to stop economic growth in ChinaD. economic growth always has a negative effect on the environment43. The numbers of river pigs are listed in Paragraph 7 to .A. show they have become extinctB. call for more effective protectionC. show they are on the edge of extinctionD. show the importance of raising them in labsCWidespread ignorance exists among children and parents about the contents of the Bible (｡ｶ圣经｡ｷ), research has suggested.Surveys for the Bible Society found almost 3 in 10 young people were unaware that the story of the birth of Jesus came from the Bible. A similar number of children had never read or heard about tales of “the Crucifixion”or“Adam and Eve”.The report was based on a poll of 800 children aged from 8 to 15 and about 1,100 parents. The study revealed a generation of children with little knowledge of the most important stories forming the basis of Christianity, and parents who often knew little more.Of the children who were questioned, more than a third failed to identify either “GoodSamari tan” or “David and Goliath” as biblical stories. Many of the parents who responded saw the Bible as a source of values for their children. But almost half did not recognize the story of “Noah’s Ark” as coming from the Bible, and many confused biblical stor ies with plotlines from well-known films such as Harry Potter.The Bible Society conducted the study as part of its Pass It On campaign to encourage parents to give the stories to their children. The group said the findings showed many children had never read, seen or even heard these stories.In a foreword(前言) to the report, Bishop of London Dr Richard Chartres said, “Sharing Bible stories is as important now as it has ever been. Too few children have the opportunity to hear and reflect on what this life-changing book contains.”James Catford, Group Chief Executive of the Bible Society, said, “The Bible’s contribution to our culture, language, literature and music is immense (巨大的). It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. The Bible enriches our life, and every child should have the opportunity to experience it.”44. How many young people surveyed didn’t know the source of the story of the birth of Jesus?A. Almost 240.B. Almost 330.C. Almost 400.D. Almost 550.45. Many of the parents surveyed .A. stressed the Bible’s cultural valueB. stressed the Bible’s educational valueC. regarded the Bible as a literary workD. regarded the Bible as a religious work46. Pass It On campaign is aimed at .A. calling on parents to read the BibleB. calling on children to read the BibleC. calling on parents to tell the Bible stories to childrenD. calling on children to tell the Bible stories to parents47. How did Dr Richard Chartres feel about the present situation?A. Very satisfied.B. Very surprised.C. A little confused.D. A little disappointed.DVOLUNTEER WITH DOLPHINS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA CONSERVATION UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH WILD DOLPHINS!This project gives you great satisfaction and you’ll do something for t he dolphins in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia! The amazing natural wealth, beautiful scenery and huge variety of plant and animal life make Australia an important place for anyone with a love fornature and wildlife.Your project is based at a non-profit(非营利性的) Centre. The Centre enables people to communicate with Bottlenose dolphins in a variety of ways. There are up to 100 dolphins living in the bay and groups of them regularly visit the shallow waters in front of the Centre. The Centre was opened in 1994, and is the first Centre in Australia dedicated(致力于) entirely to dolphin research.WORK CONTENT:Being a volunteer at the Centre can be a wonderful experience; you meet people from all around the world! However, your time as a volunteer will involve a lot more than being in the water with the dolphins. Talking and answering questions is a very important part of your work. Eighty percent of your day will involve talking to people who come down to the beach to see the dolphins, thus educating them about their characteristics and making them realize the importance of protecting these wonderful animals.TRAINING:You’ll learn a great deal through the training course which covers a wide range of issues and skills. Regular volunteer meetings are held to ensure you are kept up-to-date with the latest issues about the management of sea animals and the operations of the Centre. After having completed at least 20 hours of training, you’ll receive an official volunteer T-shirt which will recognize you to the public as a trained representative of the Centre.The Centre relies on the support of volunteers to advise visitors on the operations of the Centre, help manage the dolphin interaction program, actively take part in their research program and act as a guide. Staff members attend monthly meetings, as well as regular video and BBQ nights, which you’ll be invited to attend. By volunteering, you will achieve a great sense of satisfaction knowing that you are helping in a worthwhile project to increase public awareness about dolphins and other marine life.Hours of Duty and Work Schedule:You’ll work between 20-40 hours a week and last at least 6 weeks and 12 weeks at most, with weekends off. It starts from the beginning of May to the end of October this year; you can choose your start and finish dates within this period.This arrangement is good for animal lovers who are willing to work hard and aren’t afraid of doing hard physical work. The rewards are well worth it! While volunteering is rewarding in itself, time spent at a project such as this is an excellent chance for traveling around Australia. Meeting other volunteers from around the world, and listening to their stories can give you the confidence to travel and experience more.48. What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To call in more volunteers for a dolphin conservation.B. To make people understand better about the conservation.C. To show us how to reserve the valuable dolphins.D. To attract more visitors to the dolphin conservation.49. While working in the Centre, you will spend most of your time .A. showing your guests around the centreB. taking care of the valuable dolphinsC. educating visitors how to protect the animalsD. talking to and communicating with the visitors50. What does the volunteer T-shirt mean?A. It means that you are a trained representative of the Centre.B. It means that you have done your own part to serve the dolphins.C. It means that you can attend monthly meetings.D. It means that you are a very good volunteer in the Centre.四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Most of us have done this in our own rooms in 16 as kids and as adults, in the privacy (隐秘) of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I 17 the radio and find a song that I can sing along to; pretty soon my 18 are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm (节奏). Most of the time, I do this on my 19 to work.Yes, that is true. I do that in my nice work clothes when I 20 at a red traffic light or in a traffic jam. I get 21 looks from others and I am laughed at by some people. 22 , I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to 23 with you the importance of being silly! 24 the dictionary, the definition of the word 25 is: stupid and foolish. I know many people do not want to look foolish, so they walk around all 26 , which in all honesty, is foolish!Life is so 27 … You never know wh en this beautiful journey will be over, so why 28 a single second on being so full of rigidity (刻板)? No one is 29 . I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how rich, and so on… So why pretend to be somebody I am not? Here is a quote by Souza, which I think says it all and is a great secret of life: Dance as though no one is 30 you; love as though you have never been hurt before; sing as though no one can hear you; 31 as though heaven is on earth.When we were kids, we had no idea of what 32 were and we had no cares in the world, so we could do things without 33 about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike 34 . So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next tim e you feel down, play your favorite record, and sing and dance along like there is no 35 .16. A. public B. anger C. advance D. secret17. A. turn down B. turn on C. turn to D. turn off18.

Julia Mancuso would someday be on two Olympic teams or probably more. On Wednesday she will race in the Olympic downhill in the mountain village of San Sicario outside Turin. She is fit and tough and she has a very real chance to win a medal.But on that day, 17 years ago, she was just a little girl in bed when her mom, Andrea, woke her up and said, “You don’t have to go to school today. We’re going to go out to breakfast and then come back later, OK?”Julia saw her beautiful house surrounded by police cars. “I didn’t know then what was going on,” Julia recalls. “I just said, ‘OK, Mom.’” That was the day the police took her father away and put him in jail for smuggling (走私). The father’s part of this story is set in the village square of the Alpine resortof Sestriere, Italy. Ciro Mancuso, 57, with a full head of gray hair, has come to Italy to watch his daughter ski in the Olympic Games. “This is about Julia,right?” he asks. Yes, it is about Julia. She has seen her father go to jail twice, one for 17 months when she was a child and the other for four years while she was a teenager. Julia has lived with her mother whom she lovingly calls “a great mom who did a great job with us”. (Ciro and Andrea Mancuso had three daughters — Julia is in the middle between April, 25, and Sarah, 16 — and divorced in 1992; Andrea will also be in Italy to watch her daughter ski.) As a young adult, Julia has welcomed her father back. Ciro Mancuso says, “Everything that happened to Julia made her tougher; you see it in the way she competes.”36. What can we learn about Julia’s mother according to the passage?A. She once was a teacher in a kindergarten.B. She strongly disagreed with Julia’s skiing at first.C. She took great care of her children when her husband was in jail.D. She asked for a divorce immediately after her husband was put in jail.37. Ciro Mancuso came to Italy because he wanted to .A. win a medal in the OlympicsB. travel for pleasureC. watch his daughter skiD. look for a good job38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Julia is older than Sarah.B. Julia is seventeen years old now.C. Julia hates her father very much.D. Julia won a medal at the last Olympics.39. From Julia’s success we can infer that .A. every successful person has a strong-minded momB. the divorce of her parents is acceptableC. a difficult childhood helped Julia make herself tougherD. the crime of her father resulted in Julia’s succ essBWill there be a time in our lives when cars don’t crash? When we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves. Auto technology experts say “yes”. And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think.They will require the users to input the name of the destination or the complete address of the location that they want to go and the cars’ artificial intelligence takes them there automatically without a driver. They will run on solar power in the daytime and ethanol fuel(乙醇燃料) at night. Toyota, BMW and Honda will completely control the trade of driverless car business together and will have the cheapest driverless cars. Fossil fuels (矿物燃料) will be completely incompatible (不相配的) with these cars.Driverless cars will not require a driver’s license of any grade to operate. Anyone with basic literacy and computer skills who are at least 16 years of age will be legally allowed to operate the vehicle with absolutely no restrictions. This would give the young users permission to operate the driverless cars on major highways as well as secondary roads without needing a separate classification. In addition to all this, drunken people will be able to use their own automobiles to return home because they are not “driving” the vehicle.What’s more, car insurance will become obsolete because there will be no more automobile accidents after the year 2025. This is because the driverless car will have all safety methods in place by the car’s artificial intelligence to prevent automobile accidents. Global positioning systems will become mandatory (强制的) in all newly-manufactured cars after 2010, and will be the most important part in the driverless car.40. We can infer from the second paragraph that driverless cars .A. will need fewer fossil fuelsB. will be environmentally friendlyC. will run on solar power onlyD. will not need a human’s instructions41. Who will not be able to use driverless cars?A. People with basic literacy and computer skills.B. People who are drunk.C. People without computer skills.D. People without a driver’s license.42. What will prevent the driverless car from crashing?A. Artificial intelligence.B. Global positioning systems.C. The people inside.D. Car insurance.43. What is the text mainly about?A. Car safety.B. Driverless cars.C. The future cars.D. New technology in cars.CDear Mayor,I would like to draw your attention to the depressing state of the environment in our city. Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping toxic chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have come up with the following proposals (提议).The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it compulsory (强制性的) to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.The Bada Nadi River has become a dumping ground of toxic chemicals from some factories. These toxic chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders (违法者). To tackle the problem of managing toxic waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking (鸣) horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And “no horn zones” should also be declared in residential hospitals an d school areas.I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act accordingly.Thank you!Sincerely yours,A kind-hearted citizen44. The author wrote this letter in order to .A. express his / her thanks to the mayorB. complain about the environmentC. share his / her opinions about city lifeD. make his / her suggestions on managing toxic waste45. In order to protect the Bada Nadi River, the author suggests .A. anti-pollution devices should be used on vehiclesB. planting more trees and bushes along roadsC. restricting the movement of vehiclesD. banning dumping dangerous chemicals into the river46. The underlined word “tackle” in the fourth paragraph means “”.A. put offB. deal withC. set upD. turn downDAlex Scott, a brave young girl with a strong mind, wanted to make a difference for all children who have cancer with her lemonade stands and left a legacy (遗赠) of hope. This reminds us of the power one person can have by taking a stand for a worthy cause.Alex was born to Jay and Liz Scott from Manchester, CT. Before her first birthday she was diagnosed (诊断) with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. This type of cancer affects the nervous system. Jay and Liz were told by doctors that if Alex beat the cancer she would most likely never walk again. Challenging the doctors’ prediction, Alex was crawling (爬) by her second birthday and able to stand up. She continued to gain strength and to learn how to walk. This was just the start of her unstoppable spirit.Within the next year, Alex’s tumors (肿瘤) started to grow again, and, in the year 2000, a day after her fourth birthday, she received a stem cell transplant (移植). She informed her mother that when she left the hospital she would have a lemonade stand to help doctors find a cure for childhood cancer.True to her words, Alex had her first lemonade stand later that year. She raised $2,000 for her hospital, a remarkable achievement. Alex continued to hold lemonade stands annually in her front yard, while battling cancer. When the news spread of this extraordinary young girl’s helping other sick children, people all over the world became inspired to hold their own stands and do nated the income to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.When Alex passed away in August 2004, at the age of 8, she had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research with the help of others. Liz and Jay, along with their three sons, Patrick, Eddie and Joey, continue the promise to Alex and all children with cancer, the promise of hope for a cure.Since 2004, because of Alex’s giving nature, adults and children have joined in the fight for a cure hosting over 8,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands across the count ry. These stands represent different groups of devoted volunteers from large and small businesses, inner city school children, senior centers, pre-school aged children, middle school students, college students, and a group of homeless people.The lesson, a ccording to the website of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, that everyone learns from holding their own lemonade stands is simple but powerful — every person can make a difference in the world.In the spirit of Martin Luther King’s famous quote, “Everybod y can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve … You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.”Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation shares the vision of its founder and creator, Alexandra “Alex” Scott —a cure for all children with cancer. You can hold your own Alex’s Lemonade Stand to help raise funds for childhood cancer research. This is a great way to teach children about the virtue(美德) of service in a fun, easy and inexpensive way. For more information, contact Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.47. When Alex decided to hold a lemonade stand, she wanted to .A. battle cancer in a special wayB. raise money for her future treatmentC. raise money for childhood cancer researchD. spread news of an extraordinary girl48. Before Alex’s death, her family had promised that they would.A. join the cancer research groupB. look after other sick children in hospitalC. donate more to Alex’s Lemonade Stand FoundationD. continue her hope for a cure of childhood cancer49. What can we learn from Alex’s story?A. Everyone can make a difference.B. Many hands make light work.C. Each of us could have a lemonade stand.D. The good are all rewarded.50. What is the best title of this passage?A. Alex’s Battling Against Childhood CancerB.How to Cure Childhood CancerC. Alex’s Lemonade Stand FoundationD. Ways to Seek H elp from Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation四、任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

T thought it would take two years/9says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities・ But in business, you just have to keep going 一it's about having self-belief.^ Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince the NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials/9says Cave• They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below 一the list went on and on.Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why，to Cave, this fight was worth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough（突破）hcM worked for — a letter arrived from WorkCovcr, the states occupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea.Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction.43 ・ Cave at first thought his dream •A.was a hard taskB.was easy to come trueC.would get support from the governmentD.would become some complex activities44.What was the restrictive officials' attitude towards Cave's idea?A.

Let us take Britain as an example・ Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans・ If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different for most of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily（持续地）cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows（灌木篱笆）which were planted by humans as boundaries（界限）around fields have replaced woodlands・As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them・ Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction（破坏）of their forest habitats.

The tale is told by Jim Hawkins, who gets hold of a treasure map and sets off with an adult crew in search of buried treasure・ He fights with the pirates and goes through many difficulties and hardships.

That kind of simulation（ttH） technology could be available within the next five years.“Wele talking about reinventing how computers interact with humans/5 said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations（仓U新）IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the company's annual "Five in Five^ list.Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, it，s actually possible・In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos.Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors （传感器）in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules（分子）in your breath. 44It can give you an alarm and says, 'Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately/^ Meyers on says.Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations・ He believes there9s little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives・4.The purpose of the text is to show us _____A.how smart machines will replace humansB・ what our lives will be like in the futureC・ how to go shopping on the InternetD. why IBM wants to invent these smart machines5・ In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may ____ ・A.feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screenB.ask your computer to give you some adviceC.ask your computer to make the decision for youD・ save a lot of money by using a smartphone6.How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick?A.By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath・B.By analyzing your comments about your body condition.C・ By referring your condition to doctors.D・ By asking you to describe how you feel.7.What can we infer from the text?A.The advanced speech recognition system is already available now.B.Extending the sense of touch is the most important object of IBM・C.Students have an important role to play in the future inventions.D・ Personal computers can only be used to recognize images・cOnly about 30 percent of people in the US know how to perform CPR（心肺复苏术）.Recently, a 9-year-old boy showed a Georgia woman how to perform CPR on her newborn baby.Susanna Rohm said she had experienced a parentis worst nightmare（噩梦）一her 2-month-old son, Isiah, was not breath ing・“I noticed he looked pale・ I looked at his arms and his legs and they were limp （无力的）Rohm told a local newspaper・"Then I noticed that he looked like he wasn't alive." In dismay, she dropped and broke her cellphone. Rohm had to run into the street, screaming for help・“I had him in my arms and screamed over and over・ Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, 'Go and ask your parents to call 911," Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, showing Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt helped as well.Rocky said he had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking we'd better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared/9 Ethan said・"I told her to push on the baby5s chest five to ten times a minute with only two fingers, tilt back the baby5 s head, plug the baby's nose and breathe into the baby's mouth/' Ethan said in an interview・At last, Isiah began crying and was breathing again.

On February 3, a Laysan albatross （黑背信天翁）named Wisdom hatched a healthy chick on a Pacific island near Hawaii. It was the sixth year in a row this bird had hatched a chick.What makes Wisdom so special is that her species normally lives only 12 to 40 years. So not only has she outlived most other Laysan albatrosses by at least two decades, but also remained productive and able to hatch healthy chicks in her 60s・To track a wild bird, biologists often wrap a long-lasting, numbered metal band around one of the bird's legs. Scientists can then recognize a particular bird every time its band comes into view. Chandler Robbins first banded her leg in 1956・ At the time, this biologist from the U.S・ Geological Survey （USGS） estimated that she was already at least 5 years old.Once reaching breeding age, Wisdom and her kin （亲属）return each November to a tiny Pacific island to breed・ At breeding time, the Laysan albatross will scratch out a shallow nest in the ground. A female then lays a single egg. Both she and her mate will take turns incubating （孵化）the egg until it hatches. More than seven out of every ten Laysan albatrosses nest on just one island一Midway Atoll. That9s Wisdom's home・Wild albatrosses often die long before they come close to Wisdom's age. Some are eaten. Others starve to death, get sick or suffer life-threatening injuries from the gears used by fishing boats. Keeping track of such long-lived birds offers scientists an opportunity to learn much about how these animals reproduce, especially late in life. Since she was first banded. Wisdom may have reared as many as 35 chicks.12.What makes Wisdom special?A.She becomes the oldest bird in the world.B.She often flies to a Pacific island to nest.C.She hatched a healthy chick at a very old age.D・ She can hatch a healthy chick almost every year.13.In Paragraph 3, the writer tells us _____ .A.when the albatross hatched its first chickB.how scientists know the albatross9 ageC・ why the albatross lives such a long lifeD.why scientists are interested in the albatross14.What do we know about Laysan albatrosses' breeding habits?A. They begin to incubate eggs in October・B・ All albatrosses like nesting on the same island・C.A female albatross hatches one chick each time・D.Male albatrosses are not responsible for incubating eggs・15.What is the best title of the text?A.An albatross outlives most of other albatrossesB.An albatross attracts scientists' attentionC.An albatross hatched a healthy chick at 62D・ An albatross was seen again 56 years later第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项屮选出能填入空口处的最佳选项。

This problem results from various reasons.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every oneof us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.。
2014-2015学年(高二,上)英语(5,牛津版)测试题：Unit2阶段测试Ⅱ(Word版含答案)
14-15学年牛津高二上学期B5U2阶段测试ⅡClass：Name: Marks：满分（85）第一部分阅读理解（共两节,满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AIt all started off with five。
It was raining，and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws（投球）one after another without a break before I could go home。
I was ten years old at that time. So I shot (投球) until I indeed made five free throws。
Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one，but my dad made me start over，saying that I missed it on purpose。
So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped。
My highest ever was 175。
I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier，so this game was all about revenge (报仇)。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge (挑战 ) for Chinese highschool students, but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students.Although the long, cold winter has already started in South Korea, the annual( 一年一度的 )national exams have made the atmosphere very heated.More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance examlast Wednesday. They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学 ),history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1. 33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and betterjob opportunities.Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 a. m. After school has finished at 6:30 p.m., most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day. “ I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life ,which could decide my future, ” Park said. Theexam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围 ) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quietsurroundings. Tooting (演奏 ) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term.

The contest is one of the most respected beauty contests in the world. It was copied by the United Nations University (an international university belonging to the United Nations) in 1986.Stick to studyingLI Yining, an economics professor at Peking University, said that he would not encourage students to try their luck in the stock market (股市 ). “ Theyshould stress study, Li” said, in his speech at Beijing Foreign Studies University. When asked, the professor said he expected house prices in Beijing to continue to rise. Li thinks the government should provide more affordable houses for low-level income people.Campus cinemaStudents at over 100 universities will have a digital cinema on campus after the National Day holiday. The 21st Century Digital Film on Campus Project was launched at the end of September. The ticket will cost 3-8 yuan, rather than 30-40 yuan at cinemas in town. Students often download movies online or watch DVDs. Now they can enjoy original films in the digital cinema. The digital cinema will show a variety of films other than Hollywood blockbusters (好莱坞大片 ).Getting practicalAll 12,000 graduates from vocational school in Shanxi Province have landed a job, according to the provincial government. In the past five years, it is estimated that over 95 percent of the professional school graduates have found jobs. However, the number for university graduates is 70 percent.

A country’ s standard ofefore,living,depth e rnds first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth.“ Wealth ” in this sense is not money, for we do no on money but on things that money can buy:“ goods” such as food and clothing, and“such as transport and entertainment.A country ’ s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have aneffect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’ s natural resourc as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are wellsupplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA isone of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders,her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off asthe USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for thisand other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, andfreedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully andsteadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country ’peoples. Old countries thathave, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are betterplaced to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produceswealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin( 富余)for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turnout more goods in their working day.66. What is the “standard of living”?67. A country’ s wealth depends upon______.68.The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.A.the Sahara Desert is a very poor regionB.a country ’ s wealth depends on many factorsC.the USA is one of the wealthiest countries in the worldD.natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country69.What does the underlined word “her”in Paragraph 3 refer to?70.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is Not True?A.Wealth can produce wealth.B.We should suffer from civil and external wars.C.We should have more skilled people to use the natural resources.D.We should have sound and stable politics and be free from foreign invasion.牛津译林版高中英语必修五高二上学期月考试题英语试题ⅣWriting（45 marks）Section A （10分）Directions:Read the following passage and fill in the chart with suitable words or phrases according to the passage. (Notice: Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each blank)Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful physical and mental benefits. No matter what you’ re facing, you can learn to laugh and benefit from it.One of the many benefits of laughter and a sense of humor is that they protect you againstthe negatives of life. Researches show that people who use humor to fight stress feel less lonely and more positive about themselves.Although we can’ t say that a certain number of laughs every day will keep the doctor away, studies show that people who laugh a lot tend to be in good health. And laughter is one of themost commonly used therapies (疗法 ) among cancer patients.Laughter could be healthy for your heart, too. Some research shows that when you laugh, there is an increase in oxygen-rich blood flow in your body, possibly due to the release ofendorphins (内啡肽 ), which create a chemical rush that fights negative feelings and stress. Activities that increase endorphins include a good workout and listening to music you love.Love the benefits of laughter but don ’ t feel like laughing? Sometimes you have to make an effort to laugh. If you ’re facing tough times, it may help to learn techniques to bring the benefitsof laughter into your life. You can try the old recommendations:Read a funny book, or watch a movie that is funny.Spend time with an amusing friend.Look on the light side: Go to places that help you remember good times that have madeyou laugh in the past.Or you can join the “laughter movement” to learn about the benefits of laughter while fighting stress.Title: The benefits of 71 .______Benefits◆Mental benefits*72.______ you against the negatives of your life*Making you feel less lonely and more 73. ______ about yourself◆*Helping to lead a healthy life*Being commonly used to treat 75. ______*76. ______ the oxygen-rich blood flow in yourbody Recommendationsto bring laughter*Read a funny book, or watch 78._______.*Spend time with 79.______.*Look on the 80. ______ — go to places that have made you laugh*Join the “ laughter movement” while fighting stressConclusion.Laughter is a key component of a happy life, and it has powerful benefits.Section B (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the informationgiven in the passage.I have a friend named John Roberts who owns a horse ranch（牧马场） in San Ysidro.The牛津译林版高中英语必修五高二上学期月考试题英语试题last time I was there he shared a story with me. “ It is a story about a young man who was the of an itinerant horse trainer.

There‘ s no way you could ever do it.’ Then，‘theIfyouteacher add will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’”“The boy went home and asked his father what he should do. His father said,，you‘Look, so have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.“Finally，after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changesat all. He stated,‘ You can keep the F and I’ ll keep my dream.‘”John continued, “Itell you this story because you are sitting in the middle of my 200-acrehorse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added,“ If I had ch my paper at that time, maybe we would not have the chance to be here talking about thedreams . ”81.

South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can p lay 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually groom our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions，” said Burger。
South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the country to teach children to play golf。
Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing (挥棒) with a coach。
When the children are good enough，they can practice at a regular golf course，and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Development Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said，“Th e game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette(礼仪); it teaches them values；it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. They're doing something worthwhile that they can actuallypursue (追求) once they become an adult。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMy husband is reading The Secret Garden aloud to our kids. They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that she’s found the garden her mother loved. It’s an exciting moment. But the passage I’m waiting for is a few chapters on, after C olin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. It’s just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enright’s The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer,my husband and I felt, wouldn’t be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didn’t tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the book’s words alive.Later, when we read C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread(姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade.Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, we’ve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air.The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36. The text is written mainly to .A. show the importance of reading aloudB. discuss food culture in children’s booksC. provide a new means of family educationD. introduce some interesting books37.

The underlined words “Turkish delight” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to .A. a great timeB. something deliciousC. a trip to TurkeyD. more stories39. From the fourth paragraph, we can learn that the author’s family .A. will look for a secret garden in the woodsB. will read The Secret Garden in the open airC. will eat roasted potatoes and eggs at homeD. will cook potatoes and eggs in the woods40. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The taste of a good bookB. The best way to make kids learnC. Eating means more than readingD. Our roasted potatoes and eggsBAbout 18,000 refugees(难民) from Burma have come to the United States each year since 2007. Some have settled in Howard County, Maryland between Baltimore and Washington. A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned thelanguage, their parents did not. That made communication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches E nglish to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neih’s mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mother’s workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the company to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. It’s once a week, on every Wednesday, fro m twelve to one o’clock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills.Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran devel op the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. They’re more communicative. As parents, they are also more invo lved in their children’s school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School.

Britain’s Park Authority has made great efforts to protect these wild areas from over habitation and commercial activities.Mainland England and Wales have the largest number of protected parklands. The first established area was the 1,438 kilometre Peak District. This earliest national park lies in central northern England. Due to its v ast natural beauty, the Peak District is thought to be the world’s most visited national park after Japan’s Mount Fuji.In the northwest area of Wales lies Snowdonia National Park. This attractive, mysterious ancient landscape is home to craggy(陡峭的) mountains. Walking trails to Mount Snowdon are just one of several activities exciting to hikers.National parks in the UK can also boast of having Britain’s largest protected wetland “The Broads” just outside the village of Horning. An ideal spot for families, this 200-mile area combines waterways with an interesting intersection(交叉) of windmills, castles and an ancient Norman church.Spreading across 885 miles of truly impressive rocky land is Lake District National Park. England’s largest park attraction is spread between Edinburgh to the north and Manchester to the south. Although the land itself seems wild, almost 40,000 people live within the park. Within this district’s vast borders we can find over 6,000 archaeological (考古的) sites and monuments dating back to prehistory.The United Kingdom has taken great care to protect its wild open spaces for future generations, and all the parks are adventures waiting to be found which can be enjoyed by natives and visitors alike.46.

Which of the following shows the correct position of Lake District National Park?E=Edinburg M=Manchester L= Lake District National ParkPartⅢWriting (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It is very important to make a student feel safe in the classroom, because students study well in the environment where they feel safe and respected. All students including those with learning difficulties can study well if they feel mentally and emotionally comfortable in the classroom. In addition, when feeling safe in an atmosphere, they can openly express their concerns. Therefore, teachers are required to devote time to making students feel comfortable in class and must view it as an investment in strengthening the teacher-student relationship.What makes a student feel safe in the classroom depends upon the quality of the relationship he shares wi th his teachers. To this end, it’s quite necessary to build trust in the classroom. Trust building is a slow process which can be achieved through healthy interaction between students and teachers. Also developing mutual (互相的) respect for each other is necessary. Teachers must try to build small but real life connections with the students and when one is able to do that, it creates a more relaxed (轻松的) atmosphere that supports studies. Gradually, students will feel a greater level of trust in teachers.A positive environment is also very important for students to feel safe in the classroom. To create such an environment, teachers must display positive messages and quotes in the classroom and even ask students to contribute them. Make it a rule that only positive things will be talked about in the classroom. Prevent students from talking about other students’ private lives in an unkind way and stop them from bullying(欺凌) each other. Also, the most important is that teachers must try to make all students feel like they are an important part of the class.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Teenage life is the “awkward stage” of a person’s development. This is the transition (过渡) from being an innocent, playful child to becoming a fully grown and fully matured adult. However, when at this stage of life, one cannot truly call himself an adult yet nor can he call himself a child. This is why there is often a barrier or a gap for teenagers.Sometimes I feel my parents don’t understand me. Whether it is because of a communication gap or a generation gap, I think they cannot grasp what I’m trying to imply sometimes. They try to force change upon me instead of just letting it happen naturally. I know in myself that I have certain weaknesses th at I have to improve on and I’m trying to but sometimes they just don’t understand.Teenage life is a difficult thing. Just as adults have a lot of responsibilities (责任); so do we and even more. We not only have to look after our physical changes, but also have to deal with our mental, emotional and psychological changes as well. Thus, they can only imagine how we can handle such a stressful life.Some people are even more unfortunate, because they’re not only misunderstood by their parents, relatives, but also by their peers. More often than not, they’re usually alone and are having difficulty socializing with other people. When one has problems, usually the family is the support system. But for these people, they have no one to turn to for help, no one to share their problems with, and no one to release their stress or worries. This creates a psychological (心理的) imbalance that can build up inside that person, whichcan lead to depression. So to prevent this, we need to develop relationships with other people because we need friends to help us and be with us.61. Why do teenagers often have a barrier or a gap?

South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can play 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually groom our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions,” said Burger.South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the country to teach children to play golf. Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing (挥棒) with a coach.When the children are good enough, they can practice at a regular golf course, and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Development Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said, “The game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette (礼仪); it teaches them values; it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. They’re doing something worthwhile that they can actually pursue (追求) once they become an adult.”And there are benefits for those young players who do not become professionals. “To play golf, they also have to go to school. They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to get a job, especially in the golfing industry,” said Ostle.In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years. The future of South African golf is already in good hands.36. The reason why South Africa produces top golfers is that .A. the government pays much attention to itB. children of South Africa are very cleverC. the weather there is quite good for golfD. they play tournaments all over the country37. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us .A. how South Africa discovers and develops golfersB. how South Africa trains teenage golf playersC. the golfers come from all social backgroundsD. children learn to play golf for free in South Africa38. What does the underlined word “groom” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Clean.B. Arrange.C. Attend.D. Train.39. According to Andy Ostle, the game of golf .A. is the best sport in the worldB. intends to teach children etiquetteC. is not really their original sportD. helps children grow healthily40. What can we learn about the young players according to the text?A. They are tired of playing football and turn to golf.B. About a quarter of them will become professional players.C. They go to learn playing golf in order to find a good job.D. Most of them play golf in order to get rid of school exams.BPaul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. “Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sailor who’s now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission (使命). “A large part of this boat is flying,” says Larsen. “When it’s going at high speed, it’s like a well-built paper airplane.”The record is open to any craft (飞行器), as long as it’s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots —a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until they hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.41. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to .A. set a new world speed sailing recordB. design a craft which can fly and sailC. win a gold medal in the Olympic GamesD. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market42. To challenge the record, a competitor must .A. make a boat of special paperB. sail the boat designed by himselfC. go through half a kilometer courseD. make use of the latest technology43. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith?A. He was a professional sailor himself.B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then.C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen.D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.44. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat.A. reaches the highest speedB. gets into water from the airC. starts to fly into the airD. slows down in the air45. What would be the best title for the text?A. The world speed sailing competitionB. A flying boat is coming into our lifeC. Rocket scientist Bernard Smith’s dreamD. Newly-designed boat challenges the recordCHippies (嬉皮士) were part of a youth movement, made up of young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. These youngsters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own.The 1960s’ hippies fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today are interested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art. Not much of this was ever appreciated by the older generation. The men wore long, loose hair like the women. They tried to show off themselves and didn’t care about what others thought about them. In the 1960s’, the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look.The fashion clothing was a form against traditional cultures. The personal expressions of people resulted in the styles that had great influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses. Short skirts were worn with knee-high boots, while the long skirts were considered better matched with sandals (凉鞋). They were used to represent peace and love. Artificial flowers and real flowers were worn in the hair.During the hippies movement, men and women grew their hair long, contrary to popular belief. Usually hair was parted in the middle. During this time period, long sideburns (鬓角) were the thing for men. Fashion accessories (饰品) for women during the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Women’s jewelry was mostly influenced by Native American or any similar handmade designs. Sporting any necklace with beads was hugely popular. Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was abasic part of the hippies scene. Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot (赤脚的).Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion industry in a major way. The hippies fashion keeps changing with time, but women who found their own individuality and style in the 1960s have never let it go and passed much of their own hippies influence on to their daughters.46. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. The hippies fashion in the 1960s.B. The hippies dress and hair styles.C. How hippies movement came about.D. People’s ideas about hippies.47. What is the hippies’ attitude towards the political systems at their time?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Subjective.48. Which one is TRUE about the hippies fashion?A.

I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Don’t ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”新课标第一网I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar.My face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement. The pain in my mouth was unbearable, and I tasted blood. I turned towards Mary who was on the ground, holding her knee and crying. Seconds later, it seemed that my mom’s car stopped next to us. I wanted Mom to say, “Oh, my poor sweetheart. Let me hug you and everything will be fine.”However, my mom only said, “What have you done to your face? Vanessa,look at what you’ve done!” Mom wasn’t the gentle “I love you, sweetie” type.Sometimes, I thought Mom had no mercy. But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand — she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it — deal with it and learn from it.

In1985, two days before he died, he gave that ticket to Cave —ticket number 00001. “It created a fascination (酷爱) with the bridge that I have to this day,” says Cave. And it started him on a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first.Cave came up with a simple but daring idea —lease (租用) the bridge from the government and allow ordinary people to climb Australia’s greatest icon. “I thought it would take two years,” says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities. But in business, you just have to keep going —it’s about having self-belief.” Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince the NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials,” says Cave. They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below — the list went on and on.Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why, to Cave, this fight was worth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough(突破) he’d worked for —a letter arrived from WorkCover, the state’s occupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea.Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction.8. Cave at first thought his dream .A. was a hard taskB. was easy to come trueC. would get support from the governmentD. would become some complex activities9. What was the restrictive officials’ attitude towards Cave’s idea?A. Cautious.B. Approving.C. Doubtful.D. Enthusiastic.10. What inspired Cave to fight for his dream during the hard situation?A. WorkCover.B. Harbour Bridge.C. BridgeClimb.D. Ticket 00001.11. The text mainly tells us that .A. not every dream in our life is very easy to come trueB. you should have self-belief even faced with great difficultyC. family members always give you the inspiration for successD. life seems a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge firstDA habitat is a natural area where wildlife lives undisturbed. Most animals and plants have become endangered not because they have been killed on purpose but because their habitats are being destroyed.Human activities have changed or destroyed habitats for thousands of years. The natural habitats in almost every country in the world have been affected in some way. Let us take Britain as an example. Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans. If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different formost of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily (持续地) cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows (灌木篱笆) which were planted by humans as boundaries (界限) around fields have replaced woodlands.As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them. Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction (破坏) of their forest habitats. Other British species of animals and plants have become extinct during the last few hundred years and many more are endangered today. Although many organizations are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are still being destroyed.新课标第一网12.

South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can play 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually groom our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions,” said Burger.South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the country to teach children to play golf. Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing (挥棒) with a coach.When the children are good enough, they can practice at a regular golf course, and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Development Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said, “The game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette (礼仪); it teaches them values; it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. They’re doing something worthwhile that they can actually pursue (追求) once they become an adult.”And there are benefits for those young players who do not become professionals. “To play golf, they also have to go to school. They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to get a job, especially in the golfing industry,” said Ostle.In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years. The future of South African golf is already in good hands.36.

According to Andy Ostle, the game of golf .A. is the best sport in the worldB. intends to teach children etiquetteC. is not really their original sportD. helps children grow healthily40. What can we learn about the young players according to the text?A. They are tired of playing football and turn to golf.B. About a quarter of them will become professional players.C.

Most of them play golf in order to get rid of school exams.BPaul Larsen’s Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest s ailing boat on water too. “Everything above the water is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sailor who’s now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission (使命). “A large part of this boat is flying,” says Larsen. “When it’s going at high speed, it’s like a well-built paper airplane.”The record is open to any craft (飞行器), as long as it’s using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 500 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots — a concept that was well ahead of his time. Larsen’s team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “You go out there and you don’t real ize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “That’s a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team won’t stop until th ey hit the 60 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record.41. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to .A. set a new world speed sailing recordB. design a craft which can fly and sailC. win a gold medal in the Olympic GamesD. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market42. To challenge the record, a competitor must .A. make a boat of special paperB. sail the boat designed by himselfC. go through half a kilometer courseD. make use of the latest technology43. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith?A. He was a professional sailor himself.B. He instructed Larsen’s work now and then.C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen.D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.44. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsen’s boat .A. reaches the highest speedB. gets into water from the airC. starts to fly into the airD. slows down in the air45. What would be the best title for the text?A. The world speed sailing competitionB. A flying boat is coming into our lifeC. Rocket scientist Bernard Smith’s dreamD. Newly-designed boat challenges the recordCHippies (嬉皮士) were part of a youth movement, made up of young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. These youngsters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own.The 1960s’ hippies fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today areinterested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art. Not much of this was ever appreciated by the older generation. The men wore long, loose hair like the women. They tried to show off themselves and didn’t care about w hat others thought about them. In the 1960s’, the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look.The fashion clothing was a form against traditional cultures. The personal expressions of people resulted in the styles that had great influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses. Short skirts were worn with knee-high boots, while the long skirts were considered better matched with sandals (凉鞋). They were used to represent peace and love. Artificial flowers and real flowers were worn in the hair.During the hippies movement, men and women grew their hair long, contrary to popular belief. Usually hair was parted in the middle. During this time period, long sideburns (鬓角) were the thing for men. Fashion accessories (饰品) for women during the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Women’s jewelry was mostly influenced by Native American or any similar handmade designs. Sporting any necklace with beads was hugely popular. Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was a basic part of the hippies scene. Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot (赤脚的).Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion industry in a major way. The hippies fashion keeps changing with time, but women who found their own individuality and style in the 1960s have never let it go and passed much of their own hippies influence on to their daughters.46.
