A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren’t left out on the playground. Called the “Buddy Bench”, students can use the seat as a safe and support ive place to let others know they’d like to be included in playtime, but may be too shy to ask.The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple: Students who want to partake in playground games and activities, but may feel hesitant, can take a seat, which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate. The idea for the bench came about last year, when Farrell, school counselor at McIntyre Elementary, was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop, and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality. T he PTSO approved the students’ proposal, and试卷第2页,共12页installed(安装) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads “Buddy Bench” on the school’s playground.Since it was installed on Nov. 16, the bench has been effective. The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鸣) the students, and already has created a better environment within the school community.“Each day, I go to see the buddy bench working,” Farrell said. “The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives. It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day.” 1、Who is Buddy Bench created for? A .Students who love games and activities. B .Students who want and continue to be kind. C .Students who are left out on the playground. D .Students who ar e in Farrell’s leadership group.2、What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A .The PTSO. B .Buddy Bench users.C .The workshop members.D .Farrell and teachers. 3、Which of the following statements can show “the bench has been effective”? A .The workshop kids have set a good example. B .More and more creative ideas have come up.C .The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.D .Some shy students have found friends on the playground.阅读理解。

2015~2016学年度第二学期高二年级第一次月考英语试题考试时间:2016年4月满分:150分考试时长:120分钟第I卷(请将答案涂在答题卡上)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,共30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ALarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daug hter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would b e her first trip with her father on what he had always been fam ous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Simil arly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by re nting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the sho re. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exc eption. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of ho urs on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were n ot even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only g ot better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his bl ack and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his ba ck, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dang erous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. S ometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did n ot bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs o f the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Is lands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larr y was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a m an offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larr y did not even know what the time was, how many spots he di ved into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving s pots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a succe ssful underwater expedition.1. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.3. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometime s?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep w ater.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photos more c onveniently.BIt was a wonderful day on the west coast. On a beach near S an Francisco, two college students, Shirley and Albert, decide d to go for a swim. So they swam out about fifty yards to calm water and then began floating lazily. Little did they know that they were being watched — a great white shark was drawing near.All of a sudden, Shirley heard a scream. Albert was being pull ed down by something. His head reappeared with blood. Albe rt cried out in agony, “Get away, Shirley! Get away! It’s a shar k!” Albert didn’t want her help.Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert’s wor ds rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she tu rned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.The water was full of red blood. She reached for Albert’s hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert’s chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet an d stroking(划水) with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friend s? Shirley was getting tired. Albert’s body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her friend.Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exh austed. She could go no farther. She tried to scream for help but her voice was so weak. Nobody would be able to hear tha t. Miraculously(奇迹般地), Joe was fishing some distance down the beach. His eyes for some reason turned. He could hardly believe his eyes. Joe began running toward Shirley and Albert. He then flung(挥动) his cast like a cowboy with his rope. The line perfectly lan ded beside Shirley and Albert. Shirley wrapped it around her waist and Joe dragged them into safety. By this time, many p eople saw the trouble and ran to help. Soon Albert was taken to the hospital but died two hours later.Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert. But that does not mean that we do not sacrifice our self. If our motive and desire is to put other people before our self then we do sacrifice our self. Sacrifice is a necessary part of loving people.5. The underlined word “agony” in Paragraph 2 means ______ _____.A. excitementB. painC. disappointmentD. shock6. While Albert was being pulled down by the shark, he was m ost probably thinking that ________.A.he would surely be saved by ShirleyB.the white shark would leave soonC.it was unlucky for them to swim out that dayD.he should warn his friend7. When Shirley could touch bottom, ___________.A. her cry for help was luckily heard by a personB. a fishing person noticed Albert and her accidentallyC. a rescue team were waiting for them on the beachD. she found Joe fishing and shouted to him for help8. What does the author stress in the story?A.The threat from the dangerous shark.B.The ability to deal with an emergency.C.Shirley and Albert’s concern for each other.D.Shirley and Albert’s fight against the shark.CAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children . Shortly before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with neu roblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that even if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would eve r walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication th at she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg br aces(支架). She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to wal k. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the sh ocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤) had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植) and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like th ey helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and rais ed an amazing $ 2,000 for “her hospital”.While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family co ntinued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to be nefit childhood cancer research. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and d onated the earnings to Alex and her cause.In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 mil lion to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey — and s upporters around the world are committed to continuing her in spiring cause through Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation(基金会).9. It can be learned from the text that Alex _________.was born with cancercouldn’t walk until she was fourC. was the only daughter of the ScottsD. held her first lemonade stand in 200110. Why was Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospital.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.11. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.12. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Energetic.C. Innocent.D. Determined.DNurses have saved almost 800 lives in just one year by using iPads, iPods and mobile phones instead of paper charts to re cord patients’ vital signs.Death rates at two major hospitals dropped by more than 15% after nursing staff started using handheld devices(设备) instead of paper notes to monitor the condition of patients, according to a research published recently.Nurses recorded patients’ blood pressure, pulse, oxygen level s and other indicators(指标) on tablets and mobiles. Specialist software, called VitalPA C,automatically told them if the patient was deteriorating(恶化). If this happened the nurse was warned to increase the fre quency of their monitoring of the patient and, in some cases, t o warn a doctor or a rapid response team.The introduction of the new system led to a fall of almost 400patient deaths in just 12 months at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, and a drop of more than 370 in the same period at James Cook University Hospital. An accompanying comme nt in the journal described the research as “an important miles tone” in improving patient safety and said the lowering of deat h rate at these two hospitals “represents a truly exciting and i mpressive improvement”.The system is now applied in 40 hospitals across England an d could eventually be rolled out across the whole of the NHS ( National Health Service). The system was developed by doct ors and nurses at Portsmouth working together with health im provement company The Learning Clinic.13. What can we learn about VitalPAC?A. It works with the handheld devices.B. It is applied in all the members of the NHS.C. It can replace the nurses to take care of patients.D. It was designed by The Learning Clinic independently.14. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to the sit uation where __________.A. the patient’s indicators are difficult to recordB. the patient’s condition is getting worseC. the specialist software is out of orderD. the patient’s vital signs are uploaded15. Where does the text probably come from?A. A science fiction.B. A lecture essay.C. A news report.D. A scientific research plan.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AMy father was poor in expressing his feelings. I knew that my dad loved me, but showed me love in other ways. There w as one particular time in my life when this became real to me.I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but gr adually the strain(紧张)on my mom and dad’ s relationship was quite evident. Howev er, I was not prepared for the day when Dad had decided to le ave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced(离婚)family. I kept telling myself that it wasn’t going to happen. T he night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time.I prayed(祈祷) and I cried and I wrote along letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and tha t I would always and forever be his Krissie. As I folded my not e, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: “ Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy.” Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I sli pped my letter into one of his bags.Two weeks later, mymother told me that they decided that there were things that b oth of them could and would change and that their marriage w as worth saving. “Well, Dad said that when he read your letter , it made him cry. It meant a lot to him and I have hardly ever seen your dad cry. After he read your letter, he called to ask if he could come over to talk. Whatever you said really made a difference to your dad.”A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter, I guessed that it became a secret between us.1. Why did the author’s father decide to leave?A. Because he was poor in showing his feelings.B. Because his wife was always giving orders.C. Because serious problems occurred(发生)in the marriage.D. Because the strain on father-daughter relationship was evident.2. How did the author feel when her father decided to leave?A. ExcitedB. AnnoyedC. DoubtfulD. Upset3. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.A. a man may have to give up a lot to be a real fatherB. a man may have to give in to his wife to be a daddy.C. a man who raises special children can become a real fathe r.D. a man who develops some special talents can be a real fat her.BIt is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the s ame roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too long ago times people were connected to thei r food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came une xpectedly, dad would kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone wasinvolved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. Whe n the meal ended, most of the family was involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us--- fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holi days. Our fast-paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fo oled into thinking we need, or even must be fast and have wh at the “fast life” gives us. As a result, stress(压力)is leading to many new health problems.The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to address the iss ue of “time poverty” through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a world-wide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and c onnect with our life. We need connection to people---ourselves, our family, our community, our friends,--- to food, to place (where we live), and to life.By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have know n how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural w orld and rhythms around them. And moreimportantly, they have reconnected---they have lived a new connected lifestyle.4. The writer implies that the family in the past _____.A. shared the similar valueB. lived in small housesC. lacked foodD. were big5. If we are connected to our food, we ____.A. buy our food by ourselvesB. prepare and cook our food by ourselvesC. eat each meal slowlyD. enjoy our mealtimes with other family members6. According to the writer, many people have ____.A. benefited from fast life.B. unwise opinions about fast lifeC. got used to fast lifeD. diseases caused by fast food.7. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To support a world-wide movementB. To support traditional culturesC. To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.D. To explain the importance of making a connection.CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets(水桶). One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very o ld and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service , but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Th en he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to t he flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It cou ld carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled(溢出). The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: be fore it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked(漏出)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, “ See how capable I a m! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowe rs every day! I don’t know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!”And all that the old bucket could say was, “ I know I’m not ver y useful, but I am only do my best. I’m happy that the gardene r still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.”One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, “ You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.”Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they n oticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth; on the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to t he garden.8. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mea n?A. DirtyB. DarkC. Worn-outD. Plain-looking9. What was the old bucket ashamed of ?A. His pastB. His agingC. His mannerD. His leaking10. The new bucket made conversations with the old one mai nly to _____.A. laugh at the old oneB. take pity on the old oneC. show off its beautiful looksD. praise the gardener’s kindn ess.11. Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balanceB. Because it stayed in its best condition.C. Because it was taken as a treasure.D. Because it had its own function.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。

高中英语真题:中学2015-2016学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.The king was to pass by a beggar’s small poor house and the man was excited, not because he was about to see the king but because the king was known to part with expensive jewels and huge sums of money when moved by sympathy.He saw the king’s carriage just when a kind man was filling his begging bowl with uncooked rice. Pushing the man aside, he ran into the street, shouting praises of the king and the royal family.The carriage stopped and the king beckoned to the beggar.“Who are you?” he asked. “One of the most unfortunate of your people,” said the beggar. “Poverty sits on my doorstep and follows me about like a dog. I haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon!” “Have you nothing for your king except great sorrow?” said the ruler, putting out hishand. “Give me something.” The beggar, astonished, carefully picked up 5 grains of rice from his bowl and laid them on the king’s outstretched palm. The king drove away. The beggar’s disappointment was great. He complained and cursed the king again and again for his miserliness.When he returned home in the evening he found a bag of rice on the floor. “Some generous soul has been here,” he thought and took out a handful of rice from the bag. To his astonishment, there was a small piece of gold in it. He realized then that the bag had been sent by the king. He emptied the rice on the floor, feeling sure there would be more gold pieces in it, and he was right. He found 5, one for each grain of rice he had given the king.“It is not the king who has been miserly,” thought the man, sadly. “If I had been generous and given him th e whole bowl of rice, I would have been a rich man today.”21.

The real reason why the beggar got only five gold pieces is that________.A. he complained and cursed the king again and againB. the king was only generous to rich peopleC. the king wanted to punish him severelyD. he himself was miserly2.You choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense—there is a reason foreverything that happens.The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.28. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?A. They died from accidents.B. They both died of old age.C. They died due to lack of care by family members.D. They weren’t accustomed to the change in life.29. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because .A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowB. they don’t know that natural course of eventsC. they believe that it is their faultD. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction30. T he underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to .A. the thingsB. the storiesC. the oppositesD. the survivors31. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Two sons blamed themselves for their mother’s death.B. Things don’t always go well as we expect.C. Two factors account for guilty sense.D. Baby’s wishes lead everything to happen.4.Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in. See happy movies… and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth(来来回回)about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating(再分配)snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.32. Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. It’s delicious from chips to candy.B. It’s easily taken everywhere.C. Because it’s available here and there.D. It’s easily bought in fast fo od restaurants.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.B. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.C. People prefer to snack from a large bucket.D. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.34. What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?A. To eat nothing in the morning.B. To eat breakfast and exercise.C. To get up early and to go to bed late.D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.35. What is the text mainly about the rule(s)?A. how to eat properly and healthily.B. how to make friends with dainty eaters.C. how much to eat in the morning.D. how to control overeating.二、未分类(共2题)1.Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways 36 . Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 37 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 38 .The following methods may work best for you.● Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.● Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.● Write your notes in your own words.●39● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记).

That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes.G. First, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.2. In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge 61 (gain) every day into 62 _ (real) has interested numerous people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practiceis the key 63 it.” Apparently, this saying tries to deliver the message 64 we ought not 65 (stop) practicing it if we 66 (true) want to master the knowledge we learn.There are several reasons 67 (account) for this statement. To begin with, human beings are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make 68 (mistake), and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart. Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it again and again.Practicing, to sum up, 69 (be) of the greatest importance for those who are determined to learn knowledge well. As a student, I hope that the young can focus more attention on practicing 70 they learn.三、完型填空(共1题)1.I had a lot on my mind as I picked up the pieces of what had once been my teddy bear on the snowiest day last year.

Although it’s hard to get rid of smoking, I hope you will follow my advice. First, choose a day when you feel relaxed to throw away all your cigarettes and make a list of all the benefits you can get from stopping smoking. Then, reread the benefits to remind yourself when you want to smoke again. Finally, do some sports every day and you’re sure to succeed.Yours,Li Hua。

AFeeling exhausted and hopeless, I began walking to my car. Every step seemed tiring, and every step was another to survive. As I looked up into the sky I thought about how my grandmother had left me, and my anger began to return. I was annoyed by the loss, and my belief in God was beginning to fade. I couldn’t understand why these things happened. So as I stood in a public park ing lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that pass on? Why did I not feel her presence anymore? Is there a heaven?Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window and distracted my unanswered thoughts. ―Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,‖ she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. The thought of having to say where my car was seemed like too much to bear. ―No, excuse me,‖ she said again.At this point, I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. As I got closer, I was startled—was this my grandmother’s nurse, Adu, who lived with her during her final months?I soon realized that she wasn’t, although the resemblance was unusual. Then, I realized that this Adu was searching for something in her bag. Surprisingly, I was overcome by a sense of relief that led me to be patient the entire time the lady was searching. Others would be nervous by a stranger reaching in their bag, but I wasn’t. She finally reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. ―It looks like you need this,‖ she said calmly with a warm smile on her face.I looked down at the mysterious and obviously used booklet and on the front cover in big bold letters read ―What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?‖It took me only a few seconds to comprehend the exchange with this woman, but by the time I looked up, she was gone.I walked slowly into my car holding the tiny little booklet that was given to me with fear that it would fly away in the wind. I didn’t know what it was exactly, but I knew that if my grandmother had anything to do with that I didn’t want to let it go.I felt a sense of relaxation as I opened the first page. It explained how people pass on, but their spirit remains with us. This was the first time since my grandma had passed that I felt her with me, just like I had wanted. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I did know that I finally felt happiness from the surprising change in events.I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe what had happened to me on that day. I don’t remember the specific details that you usually hear about like what the person was wearing, the time of day, or even the weat her, but it doesn’t matter. It was a random day in November when my life turned back around and I began to feel hope again. It was real. It was a miracle. And, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.1.

GaryCKeeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice's belly by half overfour weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long- term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system.However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their ―couch potato" fellows.Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose team’s findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, ―I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs.‖ explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, ―It's not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities.‖ Co-author Dr Lei Cao said,―Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.‖8. What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?A. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter.B. It doesn’t take long to turn white fat into brown.C. Brown fat can burn energy to produce heat.D. Social excitement helps gain more weight.9. Which of the following statement does the text support?A. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.B. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.C. The research findings haven’t been published so far.D. Dr Matthew During wasn’t convinced of the result.10. We can conclude from the text that _______.A. the fat in mice’s belly was re duced because of the relaxing environmentB. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people’s social lifeC. surfing the Internet may influence people’s face-to-face communicationD. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life11. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Socializing contributes to people's losing weightB. Socializing is unnecessarily important in people’s daily life.C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.D. Brown fat is beneficial to people’s health.DTod ay’s children are the ―result‖ of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could ―handle‖. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.Most of the children today are rebels (叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.For example, it is a bad thing for a 17-year- old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!12. The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyl e .A. makes their children become independentB. may lead to a tense parent – child relationshipC. is likely to create a troubled generationD. is harmful to their children’s health13. What does the underlined word ―lenient‖ (in Para 2) m ean?A. Not responsible.B. Not strict.C. Unkind.D. Unfair.14. It seems that the writer agrees that students .A. should stay at home on weekendsB. can wear trendy clothes at schoolC. had better wear school uniform at schoolD. can be allowed to go out in the evenings15. According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’sproblems?A. The school.B. The educational system.C. Each family.D. The social environment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。

She decided to enter a competition named “British got Talent”at the age of 47years. On April 15th 2009, when Susan got up to sing, the audience was shocked by her age and simplicity.Middle-aged women were not the usual type of competitor on the show and the audience was even more surprised when she said before starting to sing that she wanted to become a professional singer. To them she looked well past such possibilities. However, she amazed everybody with her wonderful voice and became an overnight singing star. It was reported that the audience all stood up and clapped warmly and that within 9 days, 100 million people had watched her performances and interviews on the Internet.This was a lot of progress for an unemployed woman who lived along with her cat. Most of her life had been spent looking after her mother who had died aged 92, two years earlier. She had never been married or in her words, “been kissed”. Susan had learned difficulties and had only once been employed as an assistant cook.Even though Susan did not win the “British got Talent Show” and came up second, two years later, she already released two successful albums. Many people are touched by her story because Susan Boyle is like each of us in one way or another—full of weakness, often disappointed and mocked at by others. However, unlike many of us who usually give up too soon, she had the determination to fight for her dream. Susan Boyle launched her successful music career at the age of 48 and you too can still achieve your dream. Just take courage.21. What shocked the audience most before Susan started to sing?A. Her experience and figure.B. Her wonderful voiceC. Her age and simplicity.D. Her dream career .22. What can we learn from the third Paragraph?A. Susan was good at raising the cat.B. Susan was a single woman.C. Susan learned much while attending her mother.D. Susan didn’t like cooking.23. What does the underlined word “mocked at”in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. Laughed at.B. Highly respected.C. Cut off.D. Turned to.24. What does the writer intend to tell us?A. Failure is the path to success.B. It is never too late to start your dream.C. Entering TV talent show leads to success.D.

Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual.There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better vie w of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence.Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test outtheir claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.Eventually, most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.28. According to the text small cats like to climb a person’s leg to______.A. Show love to the personB. Test out their claw skillsC. Avoid the attack from the dogD. Get food from a person’s hand.29. Why do cats have trouble getting down from a tree?A. They are afraid of height.B. They are easy to get lost in a tree.C. They don’t know how to jump off a tree.D. Their climbing ability doesn’t help when climbing down.30. What should you do when you see a cat trapped in a tree?A. Just let it alone.B. Lead it down patiently.C. Teach it the right way to get down.D. Watch it closely until it comes down.31. What does this text mainly talk about.A. Why cats like to climb trees.B. Why cats can’t climb down a tree.C. How cats manage to climb down a tree.D. What owners do to help cats down a tree.DGone are the days when being a celebrity(名人) meant reaching the top of the social ladder. With the Internet, people now no longer need to be actors, sports stars or politicians to be famous.You may still remember the time when Furong Jiejie, or Fengjie, appeared online. All of a sudden they were the talk of the town because of their crazy clothes and abnormal values.But when the word wanghong, or “Internet celebrity”, was named one of Yaowen Jiaozi magazine’s “popular cyber words” in 2015, its meaning had changed. Those who are popular in the world of wanghong are largely famous for their heavily Photoshopped selfies(自拍) and the special lifestyles they advertise on social media.The same thing is happening overseas as well. There are many women addicted to posting photos. This has led to the rise of “Instagram Husbands”, men who are willing–or most likely forced–to take photos of their wives or girlfriends for their Instagram accounts.But what wanghong offer their fans is much more than many pretty pictures. “There is a longing for the effortless of life,” commented China Youth Daily.Though their lifestyle may seem “effortless”, some wanghong take great pains to run their Taobao stores, communicate with their fans and think of ways to keep their viewership(收视率), for example.Zhang Dayi, a famous wanghong with over 4 million followers on Sina Weibo, revealed some of her secrets for attracting fans. “Usually people look up to celebrities at a 45-degree angle. But I reduced that angle to 15 degrees, because no one likes to strain their necks too much,” she said. Her social media strategies include being very kind to fans. “As soon as you let down your guard, people will start to approach,” she said.32. What is the author’s attitude toward Furong Jiejie?A. NegativeB. ConcernedC. FavorableD. Doubtful33. How do men get the name “Instagram Husbands”?A. They take and share photos to attract fans on the net.B. They open Instagram accounts for their girlfriends.C. They show off their photography skills on the internet.D. Their duty is to take pictures of their wives or girlfriends.34. What can we infer from Zhang Dayi’s words?A. Celebrities are hard to meet.B. Being a internet celebrity is not easy.C. She has the most followers on the net.D. Being friendly is a way of attracting fans.35. What can be the best title of the text?A. The age of Internet is coming.B. Internet offers fast track to fame.C. Internet celebrities set examples for people.D. To become Internet celebrities, beauty isn ’t a must. 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人空白处的最佳选项。

The young man untied it,and the young tree bent(弯)over to one side.“Now tie it again, please,” said the old man,“but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.”The young man did so.Then the old man said,“There,it is the same with children.You must be strict with them,but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on.

Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.May 5th is Japanese Children's Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy's Day. The celebration of Boy's Day has a long history. It is said that the festival is derived from the Dragon Boat Festival in China. On this day, Japanese boys eat a special kind of rice cake. It is covered with a leaf and filled with bean paste (豆酱). Children love to eat it. And eggs on leaves are another traditional food.Japanese children are so happy that they have three festivals each year. In addition to Boy's Day, they also have Girl's Day and the 753 Festival. Girl's Day is the girl'sfestival on March 3. It is also called the Doll's Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their daughters to be strong and healthy.The 753 Festival is for children aged three, five and seven years old.

I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exac tly what I was thinking. “Don’t ride the bik e with Mary on the back,” she said. “It’s too dangerous. You could kill yo urself. Take turns.”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 bl ew 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 pa vement. The pai n 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.

新疆哈密地区第二中学高二英语下学期期中试题
2015—2016学年第二学期高二(17届)英语学科期中考试试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution.I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.1. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child ?A. Staying on the farm.B. Leaving home for the city.C. Moving to the countryside.D. Running away from the school.2. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He lives in the city now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He is very old now.3. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.A. persuade the reader to live in the cityB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. express his opinions about way of life4. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferring.B. By listing examples.C. By comparing.D. By discussing.BBeliefs form a big part of our lives. Successful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives, such as Michael Phelps. Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games. That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in their mind will be, “Wow, how I wish I could be like him!” Have you ever wondered what brought him success? In fact, anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve. It is about beliefs. Everyone is a born winner. It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his or her own field. All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases for their success. If we start to believe in ourselves, the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise.Other than having a strong belief, it is the attitude that drives the individual to create their own history. The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present. Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having a poor attitude towards life. Then how would that individual turn out to be? One’s attitude comprises the drive, the devotion and the desire to achieve his goals. If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them, it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be abl e to achieve his goals.Start believing in yourself and you will achieve your goals and with the right positive attitude, you will definitely be able to create the miracle that you have always dreamt of.5. Which of the following is the best summary of P aragraph2?A. Good begun is half done.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. No pains, no gains.D. God helps those who help themselves.6. The underlined word comprises in Paragraph3 most probably means_______?A. serve asB. belongs toC. stands forD. consists of7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. attitudes can be learned from one’s parentsB. copying oth er’s behaviors is a good way to succeedC. only strong beliefs can’t ensure you a promising futureD. attitudes can only be learned through one’s success8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Differences Between Beliefs and AttitudesB. The Nature of Beliefs and Positive AttitudesC. Relationship Between Beliefs and AttitudesD. The Power of Beliefs and Positive AttitudesCThe Future of TechnologyWilliam, a businessman, arrives in a foreign ai rport. He doesn’t show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip(芯片)in his arm. This contains information about him: his name, age, and I.D number. He exits the airport, and a car door opens when it “sees” him. The car takes him to his hotel. His room “knows” he has entered the building and it “reads” his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer. William then watches a business presentation on a video wall. When he takes a bath, the presentation “follows him and continues ”on the bathroom wall. Finally, the room plays music to help him sleep. It turns off the music when it “sees” him sleeping.William doesn’t exist, and none of this is real. But it might be soon. “In five to ten years, computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere, in your walls, in your car, on your body,” says Victor Zue, leader of Project Oxygen.Project Oxygen has one big idea: to create better relationships between machines and people. The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.So, what changes will there be at work? Firstly, the building will know where everyone is,all the time.

新疆哈密地区第二中学2015-2016学年高二英语下学期期末考试试题
哈密地区二中2015-2016学年下学期期末考试高二英语试卷命题人:高二英语备课组时间:120分钟满分:120分第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分 40分)第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。
AIt was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a check. I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers in there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks.I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face—just sort of a blank stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realized he was staring over my shoulder.I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol.Whether or not they said anything I can’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I don’t know. I put my hands up but I just didn’t know what to do.For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing.I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet.Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on.They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, “Don’t move. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence.1.What does the writer mean by saying “…a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph?A.More customers than usual were staying in the bank.B.Less bank clerks than expected were in the bank.C.There were often more than a dozen customers in the bank.D.More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.2.The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because ________.A.he was feeling upset at that momentB.he felt puzzled and sensed something terribleC.he was required to keep silenceD.he was threatened with a gun by robbers3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The customers didn’t wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusion. B.All the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automatically. C.Nobody answered the phone because all the clerks were busy with work.D.the bank workers were forced to fill the robbers’ bags with cash.4.What’s the best title of this passa ge?A.A Street Gang B.A Strange BankC.A Bank Robbery D.A Horrible AdventureBIn summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt.Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat.River raftingHot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting.When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting.And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline (肾上腺素).Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving.Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges.Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water.CavingPeople say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave.It is true.Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat.Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness.Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling.Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus.Where to find: caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers.Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration(脱水) ; and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots.Coastal walking/cycling and beach activitiesFor those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer.With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline.If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball.It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass.Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan.Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water.5.What does the underlined words "old hat" in paragraph 5 mean?A.Out of fashion. B.Out of the way.C.A particular fashion. D.A unique style.6.Helen lives in a big city, where is the best place for her to spend weekends?A.A riverbank. B.Underground rivers.C.An urban artificial beach. D.Mountainous areas.7.If you love river rafting trips, you can _____.A.go to the beach B.explore cavesC.do some outdoor activities D.drift the boat downstream8.What is specially needed to explore caves?A.An oxygen spa. B.A professional caver.C.A lamp. D.A helmet.CIt's time to be water efficient!As populations increase across Australia and the rest of the world, demand for water will also increase. If we don’t reduce each individual’s demand for water (both directly and through embodied water) the water situation will become dire.It is obvious that we cannot increase demands for water much more without detrimental(有害的) e ffects to the environment, society and the economy.It’s all too easy to blame someone else fo r the water situation –“if 70% of water is used for agriculture then that’s what we should target” –but it’s not that easy. We all depend on the food and resources that agriculture provides, and while there are definitely opportunities to increase water efficiency on the farm, the solution will take more than that.We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm, … everyone, everywhere, every time.It's time to become water efficient! This involves reassessing our relationship with water, and learning to use it more sparingly. On the most bas ic level, it requires a behavioural(行动的) change, and assigning a value to water that truly reflects its worth. We can also unlock economic benefits of being water efficient. There are many real world examples given in the case studies on this site.Everybody has a responsibility to save water, if future generations are to enjoy a similar standard of living to the one we enjoy now. In fact, many of the impacts associated with water use are likely to have an effect on our own lives!.au has been designed to help you respond to the challenge to become water efficient. It acts as a central repository for relevant information and further advice, so that you can actually achieve significant savings. It also showcases those companies with products that will assist you in your goal.9.Can you infer where this passage is from?A. newspaperB. TV programmeC. Radio broadcastD. Internet10.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Water is very important for the human.B. Everybody has a responsibility to save water.C. It's time to be water efficient.D. Let’s save water for our future generations.11.What can we do to save water?A. find more water resourcesB. use less water everywhere, every timeC. realize the importance of saving waterD. unlock economic benefits of being water efficient12.What is not the reason to save water?A. There are more and more people in the world.B. The water resources are limited.C. Agriculture needs more water.D. The water is very important for us.DHow to make a BudgetMost likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket. For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend. If you aren’t careful, it can be gone in no time.Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn and the sooner you start the better. Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future. All you need are paper and a pencil and some self-control.First, take a look at our sample monthly budget. Then, use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own. In the first two columns, list your sources of income and how much you expect to earn from them. In the third and fourth columns, list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.Sample Monthly BudgetThe left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total. If it is, you have an effective budget.Budgets are not complex, but sticking to them can be tough. When planning your budget,be realistic about your expenses. If you know that you drop $18 at a movie, don’t write $12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.If you are eyeing a big purchase, such as a $150 skateboard, spend less and save more until you have the total amount. No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your savings. One day, you will thank yourself!13. The purpose of making a budget is to help people ___.A. learn to be realisticB. manage their money wellC. increase their savingsD. test their power of self-control14. What should people do when planning a budget?A. Fill in the expenses as they really are.B. Avoid spending money on expensive things.C. Set aside a fixed amount of money as savings.D. List income and expenses on two pieces of paper.15. Who is the passage written for?A. Bank managerB. ParentsC. BreadwinnersD. Children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。

A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife's birthday。
The price didn’t matter,since business had been very good for him that year。
After examining a nice black one that costs $5,000,he paid for the pearl in cash,shook hands with the jeweler,and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it。
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 how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, "I would say it's exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl。

Two - thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests and among them lie lakes, connected with rivers and canals. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle(北极圈), where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer for transport, clothing and food.The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered by its western neighboring Sweden. After a period of rule by Denmark in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic Wars (1814 - 1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917. when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortlyafter Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic. The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation's wealth lies in the timber (木材) from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water.39.From the passage, we learn that Finland ________.A.lies inside the Arctic Circle B.is next to the countries of northern Europe C.lies east of Sweden D.is entirely covered with forests and lakes 40.In the history, Finland was sequentially(相继的) ruled by ________.A.Sweden, Germany, Denmark and RussiaB.Sweden, Denmark, Sweden and RussiaC.Sweden, Denmark, Russia and GermanyD.Sweden, Russia, Denmark and Russia41.Finland must have been under the control of ___ for as long as one hundred years or so .A.Russia B.Denmark C.Sweden D.foreign countries42.Finland won its complete independence in ________.A.1523 B.1917 C.1155 D.1919CWoman Uses Daughter’s Key to “Steal” CarCharlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned that a woman had mistaken it for her daughter’s car and driven it home—using her key.Kate Anderson became an accidental “car thief” when picking up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University buil ding last week. Anderson found the Toyota Camry (丰田凯美瑞) and used he r daughter’s car key to unlock the car, start the engine and drove it home—without realizing that the car didn’t belong to her daughter.When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed (拖走), but when the police couldn’t find a record of it, then they took a theft report.That morning, after Anderson drove the car home, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway (私人车道) wasn’t hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant’s name on the paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, “It sounded really suspicious (怀疑的) at first, as if she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金),” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case w as closed “because of mistaken car identity”, and Anderson wasn’t charged.Vansant blam ed the car company more than the “thief”. “Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition (点火装置) as well--s o high-five for Toyota, I guess,” he said.43. Why did Kate Anderson drive Charlie Vansant’s car home?A. Because she wanted to test the keys to her daughter’s car.B. Because the two cars were so alike that she mistook it.C.

He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of the car keys humorously.B. He wants to thank Toyota for returning his car.C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.D. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.46. What is likely to happen next according to the passage?A. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.B. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.C. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.D. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation (补偿).47. Where can the passage possibly be taken?A. A jokes collectionB. A news reportC. An entertainment websiteD. A travel handbookDEach morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table, reading his book. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the book just like you, but I don’t understand it, and I forget what I understand as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket do wn to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandpa laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river wi th the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned. Out of breath, he told his grandpa that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, so he went to get a bucket instead. The grandpa said, “I don’t want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough.”The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandpa the basket was empty again. Out of breath, he said, “Grandpa, it’s useless!” “So, you think it is useless?” the grandpa said, “Look at the basket.”The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean. “Grandson,th at’s what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you’ll be changed, inside and out.”48.
