When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进，敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.41. Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.A. day by day; and B .gradually; asC. gradually; thatD. century after century; as42. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. It is because we are forced to do them again and again.D. It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smoot h them away43. The bad habits formed by __________A. children sometimes stay in all their livesB. older people sometimes can kill themC. persons sometimes can remain with themD. younger people sometimes can break themBFor many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language.But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using the language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces and bodies. Their movements stood for things and ideas. A man might move his forefinger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin with three fingers. This meant, “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.44. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_______.A.the deaf must have special teachersB.there is still no way to communicate with the deafC.deaf people make signs to make a livingD.deaf people are not as clever as normal people45. On the whole the story is about______.A. how the deaf communicateB. leaning to spellC. teaching the deaf to speakD. writing sign language46. How did sign language help the deaf?A.It helped them to learn to read.B.It helped them communicate with other people.C.The deaf could understand Indian sign language.D.The deaf could move their thumbs across their lips47. Which of these sentences do you think is right?A.Deaf people draw signs.B.Deaf people read with their fingers.C.Many deaf people now can speak.D.Deaf people teach themselves a sign language.CIn Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits（限制）the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to go from one place to another. The price of the land, too, has skyrocketed. All these explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion（结论）that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen shopping centres.What are some of the advantages（优势）of shopping and eating underground? Clean air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat（威胁）of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience（便利）of getting around: you are usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kibosh station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.48.

Well, museums can make history come alive. And one museum in particular can take you on an exciting journey from the beginning of human culture to the present day.It is the British Museum. Being one of the largest museums in the world, it is home to over 7 million objects from all the world’s continents. While most of us may not have the opportunity to visit London, we can catch aglimpse of the treasures it holds in Beijing. More than 100 cultural relics will be on display in the Palace Museum. Named “Britain and the World”, a range of pencil sketches (素描), watercolor paintings, sculptures and many other objects have traveled to China.There will be several Chinese object s on show. But “they were obtained by the British Museum before 1830 mainly by trade,” said Ma Jige, deputy director of the Exhibition Department of the Palace Museum.In fact, there are more than 23,000 Chinese relics in the British Museum, including national treasures like gems (宝石), artwork and ancient bronze ware objects.The museum is famed for its exquisite Chinese paintings. Picture of Lady Officials (《女史箴图》) by Gu Kaizhi, a top painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317-4 is there.

He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was , for at that time there were no units（单位）for measuring（测量）power .Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.41. The passage says that Watt made the first __________.A. engineB. steam engineC. widely used steam engineD. useful engine42. Watt wanted to find a way to __________.A. measure the work his engine could doB. tell people how powerful his engine wasC. lift a 3300-pound weightD. both A and B43.

It Happened Years AgoBBolivia has a population of three and a half million. About one tenth of the total population are white; one-fourth are mixed Indians and white; and more than half are full-blooded（纯血种的）Indians. The government and the industries are under the control of the white people.The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines（矿）, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin（锡）is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern sl opes of the Andes（安第斯山脉）, since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters（脚夫）. East of the hill region is the great plains where tropical plants are grown. A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions, where it is grown, to the mountainous regions, where most of the people live.Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago. It has been slow in developing, but its rich resources promise a better future in it.46. The majority of the Bolivian population are __________.A. full-blooded IndiansB. mixed Indian and whiteC. white citizensD. all whites and mixed-blooded people47.

Bolivia has been slow in developing , but it has hope for a better future because of its ____.A. mining productsB. rich resourcesC. independence from SpainD. two primary means of transportationCThe Golden Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs（郊区）to the north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars across the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. （经常往来市区的人）. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it . They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again .The ferry（渡船）they take is the large , quiet , comfortable “Golden Gate” . Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning, they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the boat while they are looking at San Francisco’s famous scene and the nearby hills.The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel friendlier towards each other. Two commuters who met on the “Golden Bridge” have already got married. Because the boat has been so successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. “A lo t of people don’t want to get the trip faster,” said one commuter. “They feel that half an hour is just enough time to rest. ”51. Over __________ cross the Golden Gate Bridge during rush hours every day .A. 100,000 peopleB. 50,000 peopleC. 100,000 carsD. 50,000 cars52.

A group of commuters are happy ___________ .A. because they are the people who travel under the bridge.B. because they are the people who travel on the bridge.C. because they go to work by boat and enjoy it very much.D. because they will never go to work by car again五．补全对话（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）W: Good morning, 56M: Good morning, I’d like to check out.W: All right, 57M: Room 2301W: You are Mr. Baker, Martin Baker, right?M: 58W: This is your bill, Mr. Baker.

Well, it is a big question that you always ask yourself.There is no short cut to success, which is the first thing you should remember. For this reason you have to study hard first of all. Besides, here are some tips for you.Never fear or hate exams and be confident. Some students study well but still may be afraid of exams and due to this reason they won’t be able to get good marks. So leave all your fears behind and free your mind before starting your studies. You have to be confident and it is the most important thing for attaining victory.Prepare a good timetable. Prepare a timetable before starting your studies. This should include all subjects, but tough subjects can be given more time while easier ones less. And remember some time shall be spared for entertainment and also there should be enough break time between each subject. Select a proper atmosphere for studying. No need to explain this point. Can anyone study well while watching TV? So select a place where you feel comfortable and can concentrate. And importantly it is better to study early in the morning when you will have quiet surroundings and you can concentrate more.Make notes while studying. This is a very important point. Make small notes while studying can help you remember all the points. It will work better if you use these notes for revision in the last one or two hours than you skip through pages of your textbook. It won’t take much time to go through these notes.Write well. As we all know, the first impression is the best impression. So your handwriting affects your marks. Try to write neatly. If it is not good enough, don’t worry; if you present it in a good manner you can score more marks.36．Which proverb can show the writer’s attitude towards our studies?A. No pains, no gains.B. Knowledge is power.C. It’s never too old to learn.D. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.37．Why do some students hate exams according to the passage?A. Because they think exams are meaningless.B. Because preparing for exams takes up most of their time.C. Because there are too many exams at school.D. Because they don’t have enough self-confidence.38．Why does the writer say “No need to explain this point” in Paragraph 5?A. Because it’s difficult to explain.B. Because it’s easy to understand.C. Because we need to study in silence.D. Because a proper atmosphere can be formed anywhere.B“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish．Obviously，it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on Google．com．Tomy surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius(孔子)．“Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan，“Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of “stew”．All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other．American Chinese，though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew．You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese，such as pizza from Italian，susi from Japanese，and déjà vu from French etc．There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others．They will modify it and make it their own，so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant，or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store．Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays，I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future．In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor．39．The writer himself felt surprised at ______．A．the Chinglish expressi on “Long time no see”B．“Long time no see” used as standard American EnglishC．so many literal translation of the expressions used in AmericaD．finding out Americans use the expression every day40．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______．A．mixture literature B．Confucius’ wordsC．a kind of cooked dish D．American changing cultures41．According to the passage，it can be inferred that ______．A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”B．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew42．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．some Chinese expressions are introduced into EnglishB．you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in AmericaC．some American expressions can be used in ChinaD．American English keep being enriched from different culturesCTracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean(剖腹产术)section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good”following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier thanplanned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural(硬脑膜外麻醉)during the labour(临盆)but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”．She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim（严酷的）since in most situations like this，“despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”．Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency，“I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a“great explanation”for why Mrs Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping，”she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said：“I got a second chance in life.”43．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating? A．She became unconscious. B．She took a nap.C．She had a bad headache. D．She suffered a heart attack.44．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer? a．suffering a heart attackb．stopping heart beating entirelyc．stopping breathingd．coming back to lifee．receiving an epiduralf．producing a babyA．a c f d b e B．f c a d b e C．e a c b f d D. e a b c f d45．Which of the following words best expresses Dr Martin's attitude towards Tracey Hermanstorfer's coming back to life?A. Shocked.B. Puzzled. C．Normal. D. Curious.第二节依照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

AWhen you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It’s time to enjoy yourselves!There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts. High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It’s to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom(毕业舞会), teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go withfriends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.If you like the idea of a prom, why don’t you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?1. Which of the following indicates that prom is very important to students?A. They take pictures at the prom.B. They wear formal clothes or special clothes.C. Music is played at the prom.D. Teachers and parents attend it.2. Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?A. Renting a ballroom.B. Taking a cruise boat.C. Holding it in the school gym.D. Wearing formal dresses.3. Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?A. They will part with their friends in a short time.B. They don’t like to be accom panied by their parents.C. They don’t want to depend on their parents.D. They want to be elected by their friends as the Prom King or Queen.BThe booking notes of the play The Age of Innocence:Price:$10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:--in personThe Box Office is open from Monday to Saturday,10 a.m.—8 p.m.--by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card(Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)--by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office. --on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contractionand relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: "Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart."The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, "The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see - and guide whether we see fear."To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear."We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear," Dr Garfinkel said."We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder."8. What is the finding of the study?A. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.B. fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.C. fear has something to do with one’s health.D. Ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.9. The study was carried out by analyzing _______.A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. Volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data form their brain scansD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication10. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "mechanism" in Paragraph 6?A. OrderB. systemC. MachineD. Treatment第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2010-2023历年甘肃省天水市一中高二上学期第一阶段考试英语卷第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进，敦促) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周详).Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.【小题1】Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.A．day by day; andB．gradually; asC．gradually; thatD．century after century; as【小题2】Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits? A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C．It is because we are forced to do them again and again.D．It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away【小题3】The bad habits formed by __________A．children sometimes stay in all their livesB．older people sometimes can kill themC．persons sometimes can remain with themD．younger people sometimes can break them2.John rushed out in a hurry, ___________ the door ____________.A．leaving; unlockedB．leaving; unlockingC．left; unlockedD．sang; singing3.单词拼写：根据句义及汉语提示，写出正确的单词。

Since they retired, the couple have moved to Lhasa from the village of Yakhadi. Though the fact that the region's capital, which is 3,600 meters above sea level, is considered unfit for growing grapes,Lu Sheng and Hua Sheng began an ambitious project in 2015, planting grapes in Tsalna, a town in the suburb of Lhasa.They received support from the local government, which is committed to developing business and the economy. The couple's project provides jobs for rural residents, and, as a result, the government has considered the project part of its poverty relief program.“Lhasa is an ideal place for planting French grape varieties that are resistant to cold, drought and disease, and adaptable to high-altitude and open-air planting," Lu Sheng said.“Thanks to the plateau's sunshine and organic planting, our grapes grow very well here in Lhasa. The grapes are a bit sour and sweet, and they have a high anthocyanin (花青素) content," she said. Anthocyanins, which accumulate (积累) in grape cells and contribute rich color to wine, are water- soluble(水溶性的).In 2018, Hua Sheng and Lu Sheng expanded their project, planting on nearly 6.67 hectares.In order to familiarize Tibetan farmers with grape planting and winemaking, they taught the skills to local villagers."We have successfully taught the local farmers how to grow grapes and make wine over the three years. They now have a new source of income besides traditional farming and herding,”Hua Sheng said,Yudron, a resident of Nam, said she was grateful to the grape planting project in her village, which he contributed to her income and quality of life. "After working in the vine-yards for years, now we know how to make wine. We drink both barley and grape wine now, we love grape wine more, though, as it is healthier."4、What did the couple do after their retirement?A. They grew grapes and made wine in LhasaB. They made friends with a French expert.C. They moved to another city from Lhasa.D. They learned grape planting from Hua Sheng's grandmother.5、Why was the couple's project thought of as part of a poverty relief program?A. They donated grapes to local schools.B. They employed local residents as workers.C. They provided free wine for villagers.D. They expanded the project with the local government.6、Which is the function of anthocyanins?A. They make grapes more delicious.B. They provide adequate colors for wine.C. They make grapes a bit sour and sweet.D. They can accelerate the growth of grapes.7、For the project conducted by the couple, Yudron is ________.A. indifferentB. cautiousC. appreciativeD. ConcernedIn 1955, at age 12, I became obsessed (着迷) with the idea of recording an album for our parents to do something in celebration of their wedding day. My sister, brother, and I would sing our favourite songs for them.The recording was to be kept a secret from our parents. I found a local studio, Dunford Recordings, not too far from where we lived in Christchurch. I rang and asked the cost of making a record.To pay for the recording, I saved the money I earned from helping my aunty Mae in the school holidays. I called a family friend and persuaded her to accompany us on the piano. We couldn’t practise with her for fear of being found out, so I got my sister and brother together and we worked out a routine.I arranged with Aunty Mae, in strictest secrecy, to take us to the studio at the appointed time. We sang our first two songs a couple of times so they could select the best version, but by the time we got to the third song we were rather tired, so only recorded it once.Outside the studio door, I had been holding the record very carefully but my sister snatched it from me and it rolled out of its jacket, down the stairs, bouncing onto the pavement and then onto the road. Gasp! Horror! Mercifully, it was undamaged.The day came and we excitedly gave our precious present to our parents. They were surprised indeed.

They actually saw the record roll out onto the street.Our recording has become a wonderful memory of the past.8、Why did the author want to record an album at age 12?A.To celebrate their parents’ wedding day.B.To make money to support his family.C.To found a local studio to play music.D.To satisfy his curiosity about radiogram.9、How did the author get the money to pay for the recording?A.He got his sister and brother to earn money.B.He borrowed money from a family friend.C.He earned the money needed on his own.D.He raised some money with his aunty Mae.10、What were their parents doing when the record was being made in the studio?A.They were listening next to the door.B.They were watching the record rolling.C.They were playing in the appliance shop.D.They were buying the radiogram downstairs.11、Which of the following best describes the author?A.Enthusiastic and generous.B.Loving and considerate.C.Hardworking and responsible.D.Talented and fashionable.Learning a second language is difficult at any age and it only gets harder the longer you wait to open that dusty French book Now, in a new study, scientists have pointed the exact age at which your chances of reaching fluency (流利) in a second language seem to rise: 10.The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that its "nearly impossible" for language learners to reach native -level fluency if they start learning a second language after 10.But that doesn't seem to be because language skills go downhill“It turns out you're still learning fast. It's just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18 years old," says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College.Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children's brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they're better able to adapt and respond tonew information. "All learning involves the brain changing," Hartshorne says, “and children'sbrains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.These findings may seem discouraging, but it was heartening for scientists to learn that the critical (关键的) period for fluent language acqistion might be longer than they previously thought. Some scientists believed that the brief window closes shortly after birth, while others stretched it only to early adolescence. Compared to those estimates, 17 or 18 when language leaning ability starts to drop of- seems old."People progress better when they learn by immersion (沉浸) rather than simply in a classroom. And moving to a place where your desired language is spoken is the best way to learn as an adult. If that's not an option, you can create an immersive environment by finding ways to have conversations with native speakers in their own communities," Hartshorne says. By doing so, it's possible to become conversationally fluent-- even without the advantage of a child's brain.12、What is the most important finding of the new study?A. The best age to learn a second language.B. The possibility of speaking fluent language.C. The change of language skills over the time.D. The great approaches to learning a language.13、Why do kids seem better than adults at learning new languages?A. Their focus is language learning only.B. They are more interested in languages.C. They are more adaptable to new things.D. Their brain always ignores big changes.14、What is Hartshorne's advice on becoming fluent in a second language?A. Joining friends in their learning.B. Turning to immersive learning.C. Studying in a quiet classroom.D. Training the brain to a kid's brain.15、From which part of a newspaper is the text most probably taken?A. Science.B. Travel.C. Health.D. Education.二、七选五16、Believe it or not, although success may look different to everyone, there is a common list of keys to achieving success. Once you learn how to succeed, you can apply these tools to bringing about success in different areas of your life. ①______ They are used by successful athletes, businessmen and artists.Make a plan. This means having a clear picture of what a successful life looks like andputting together a well-defined set of goals to get you to that life. Planning well starts with figuring out what you want and writing it down in detail. It's important to have clarity on your idea of success. ②______ To succeed means to accomplish a goal. Therefore, if you don't set goals, you'll never succeed.③______ This can make the difference between your plans ending in failure and succeeding despite a bump (碰撞) in the road. So start by making a list of things that could go wrong in your plan. Then create workarounds and backups (备份) for each potential problem.Learn from your mistakes. ④______ At the same time, each piece of failure on that road probably looks different from the other pieces. Success most likely comes by way of trying (and failing) many different ways. Failure is part of the process of becoming successful if you make it a teacher. Learning and growing after failure makes it useful.Master how to say no. If you listen to interviews with successful people, you’ll probably hear them talk about turning down great opportunities that they know aren’t right for them.Saying no means knowing yourself, your boundaries (界限)，and being able to determine what's worth your time and energy. ⑤______A. Take smart risks.B. Prepare for the unexpected,C. This is the foundation for your plan.D. It leaves room for the right opportunity,E. The road to success is paved with failure.F. Success is within reach if you devote all your efforts to it.G. The keys listed below will help you unlock success in your life.三、完形填空（15空）As a parent, controlling our tempers (脾气) can be a huge challenge.

AThere have been times in my life when I felt satisfied. Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test. However, every time I feel that way, I learn again that full isn’t full.When I was a little boy, I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad, and the love they had for me, just filled me up. Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended (扩大影响) that love to my grandparents, my uncle & aunt, cousins, etc. As I grew older, I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love. I could not imagine there would be any more room. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family. Again, I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean? Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get, they get better.There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding. To do more, love more, live more, learn more, overcome more, forgive more and the list could go on. Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who have proved the impossible to be possible. Every day we stand at the crossroad and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday.You are not full yet. Young or old, there is still room for more.1. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. I can do it in a better way.B. These difficulties are really too hard.C. Something disappointing always happens.D. There always seems to be a little more room.2. According to Para. 2, what did the author mistakenly believe at first?A. His room was not big enough.B. He would only have one child.C. Caring for families was not his strength.D. Getting married would be his final happiness.3. This text is most probably taken from a __________.A. TV guideB. news reportC. life magazineD. job advertisementBMany years ago three soldiers, hungry and tired of battle, came upon a small village. The villagers, suffering a bad harvest and the many years of war, quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three in the village square, shaking their heads and sighing, “Well, we are starving.”The soldiers communicated with each other quietly and then the first soldier turned to the villagers. “Your poor fields ha ve left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have: the secret of making soup from stones.”Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was built to the village’s greatest pot, and then the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones.“Now this will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier, “but a handful of salt and some parsley (香芹) would make it wonderful!” Up jumped a villager, crying “What a piece of luck! I’ve just remembered where some has been left!”And off she ran, returning with parsley. As the pot was boiling, the memory of the villagers improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great pot. They ate and danced and sang well into the night, thrilled about the feast and their new-found friends. In the morning the three soldiers awoke, finding all the villagers standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of the village’s best bread and cheese. “You have given us the greatest gift,” said an elder, “and we shall never forget.” The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said, “There is no secret, but this is certain: people working together can accomplish great things.” At last the light dawned on villagers. Off the soldiers wandered, down the road.4. The villagers hid food at first mainly because _________.A. they didn’t want to share their little foodB. they had a poor harvest that yearC. they had nothing to eat at allD. they were sick of soldiers5. What does the underlined word “intrigued” probably mean?A. Unwilling.B. Satisfied.C. Interested.D. Generous.6. What can we learn from the text?A. The stones used to make the soup were magical.B. The villagers were grateful to the soldiers at last.C. The villagers provided nothing other than the soup.D. The stone soup didn’t agree with m ost of the villagers.7. What’s the secret of making stone soup?A. To be patient.B. To share.C. To be honest.D. To forgive.COur brains work in complex and strange ways. There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write.Dr.J. Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤) , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory.One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was brought to Virginia as a slave in1724. It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write.Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully.In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly.Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills. Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. However few people wish to participate in such experiments. There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain. The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots.8. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities.B. Human Beings have complicated thinking process.C. The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired.D. The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary.9. Which of the following can be done by Rain Man?A. He can play wonderful pieces of classical music.B. He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life.C. He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast.D. He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly.10. What can you infer from the passage?A. Idiot savants have real talents for art and math.B. Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants.C. Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations.D. Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants.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。

It has been around for centuries, but up until very recently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wasn’t fully accepted abroad. Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.

I would talk to myself, “When I grow up, when I can become rich, I'll save kids all over the world.”At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病）---her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all jus t want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heat.

Proof of this can be found in The Treatment (《刮痧》), a 2001 film that tells the story of a Chinese man in the US who’s accused of abuse after he uses guasha, a form of TCM treatment, to cure his grandson’s disease.During the last 10 years or so, however, TCM has been getting increasingly popular all over the world. A report released by the State Council Information Office on Dec. 6 says this style of health care, which includes different forms like herbal medicine and exercise, has spread to 183 countries and regions.“We have set up 10 TCM centers outside China, and all of them are popular among locals,” Wang Guoqiang, head of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said at a news conference on Dec 6. “Governments of 86 countries and regions have signed agreements with the Chinese government on TCM corporation.”One of the reasons behind the growing popularity of TCM is the increase of scientific research into it. And after Tu Youyou, the Chinese scientist who discovered the anti-malaria (抗疟疾) drug qinghaosu (青蒿素), won the Nobel Prize in 2015, TCM became even more famous internationally.However, all these achievements in TCM don’t mean that it’s problem-free. Over the years, TCM has faced challenges in being able to prove that it has certain effects.Some researchers have suggested TCM should be more exact and work together with Western medicine.“Bringing together with Western medicine and TCM, rather than being in competition, is where the potential for great effects is,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, the China representativeof the World Health Organization.8．The film The Treatment is mentioned in the first paragraph to .A．introduce the film to readersB．show TCM is increasingly popularC．arouse readers’ interest in Western medicineD．prove that TCM is not fully accepted in western countries9．We can learn from the passage that .A．TCM is not exact in curing diseasesB．10 TCM centers abroad are all set up by localsC．86 countries have cooperated with China on TCMD．Tu Youyou’s success contributes to the popularity of TCM10．According to Bernhard Schwartlander, TCM should .A．combine western medicine B．face no challenge at allC．give an exact description of its effects D．compete with western medicine 11．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．A report on TCM B．Opinions about TCMC．TCM spreads D．TCM & Western MedicineGoldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it’s all because of technology.“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” said Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions（分心）too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” said Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”Other teachers are trying more unusua l methods to improve students’ concentration. AnneSavan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”12．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?A．To introduce background. B．To compare two species.C．To introduce a topic. D．To suggest a way out.13．What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?A．Skipping around the internet. B．Time to digest information. C．Traditional methods of reading. D．Making decisions.14．What will help students overcome a short attention span?A．Composing music. B．Texting messagesC．Reading more books. D．Watching quickie movies.15．What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly? A．Cautious. B．Unfavorable.C．Skeptical. D．Supportive.二、七选五The best way to set yourself up for success is to make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely．Make your goals specific．You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you’re working toward．16．Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal? What exact goal do you want to accomplish? Be very specific．When will you start and when will you reach your goal? Make your goals measurable．Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down, it's time to look at how you will measure your progress．After all, if you don’t have any way to measure your goal, how will you know when you’ve reached it?17．Some examples of measurable goals might bepounds lost, a positive change in blood work numbers, or fitness minutes accumulated．Make your goals attainable．It’s good to think big．18．A goal that’s attainable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support, equipment, knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action．Make your goals relevant．You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle．19．Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you ll set yourself up for success．Make your goals timely．20．Otherwise, it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it．Every goal should have a date, which will help you stay on track．In addition, set up a few mini-deadlines to keep you on track to reaching your big-picture goal．A．Put a deadline on your goal．B．Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today．C．You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions．D．Therefore, you should know in advance how you will make this happen．E.However, it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach．F.Don’t choose a goal just because someone else thinks it’s something you “should” do．G.Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers．三、完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

GaryBMost animals on land are known to us, but many living things underwater are not. Now let’s get to know some of them.Sea cucumberSea cucumber are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or white green coats . When summer comes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of heat. And when it is autumn, they move to shallow (浅的) water and get their food.PikeThe pike is a kind of freshwater fish. They are good swimmers and like swimming near boats, waiting to be fed. They have sharp teeth to catch fishes. When they are young, they live in groups. However, when they grow up, they prefer to live alone.CuttlefishA cuttlefish can swim quite fast, so it is also called rocket (火箭) fish. It has eight arms and two feelers on its head, just around its mouth. It ejects ink (喷墨) when it is in danger. Its meat is delicious, and it is often the first choice for many people.OctopusAn octopus has long arms, with which to catch food and protect itself. When it is sleeping, one or two of its arms are still on duty, keeping moving. Once it feels something dangerous, it can wake up at once to take action.4.

Researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65℃, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus (食道). The researchers examined findings from other studies where tea and coffee were often served at 70℃ or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic（酒精） drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages （饮料；酒水）at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60℃.And they often add milk which lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-drinkers in Iran and mate-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at closer to 70℃.The researchers find that South Americans not only drink their mate very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw(吸管). This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as possibly carcinogenic (致癌的).” The WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.7. What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?A. Smoking.B. Alcoholic drinks.C. Unhealthy vegetables.D. Hot drinks.8. Where do tea-drinkers like adding milk?A. In China.B. In Iran.C. In Europe.D. In South Africa .9. What does the underlined word “scalding” in paragraph 5 mean?A. sweet.B. cold.C. hot .D.tasteless.10. Which of the following descriptions is TRUE?A. Once, the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.B. Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophagus cancer.C. Temperature should not be the cause of cancer.D. Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away from cancer.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。
