AI prefer Lynne Truss’s phraseology: I am a grammar “sticker”. And, like Truss – author of Eats, shoots & Leaves –I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job – even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.Of course, we write for a living. is the world’s largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between “their” “there” and “they’re”.Good grammar makes good business sense – and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing – like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren’t important.1. The author agrees with Lynne Truss in that ________.A. grammar m istakes can’t be toleratedB. books on grammar make people stupidC. people need to learn basic grammarD. grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable2. What’s the author’s “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?A. They should be left out for a job.B. They have to correct their mistakes.C. They aren’t qualified for their jobs.D. They must be severely punished.3. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.B. They are companies where one learns grammar.C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.D. They depend on grammar correction for a living.4. What can we learn from the text?A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.BAll her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain clean and tidy.You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” I explained to my wife.My wife, on one o f her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Puzzled, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.5. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because _____.A. she had already finished themB. my mother had taken them awayC. she forgot where she had left themD. someone in my family has stolen them6. The underlined part in the last paragraph suggests that my sister _____.A. is happy to clean windowsB. loves to clean used windowsC. loves to buy clean windowsD. likes cleaning windows as my mother did7. This passage mainly tells us that _____.A. my mother often made us confusedB. my family members had a poor memoryC. my mother helped us to form a good habitD. my wife was surprised when she visited my motherCBayfield Shopping Coupons (赠券)1.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length(长度) of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.11. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.12. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples13. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies14. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Commonly accepted rules.B. The multiplication tables.C. Things easily forgotten.D. School subjects.15. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.C. It’s possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students’ learning interest.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

高二英语期末试题-唐山一中2014-2015学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题及答案

唐山一中2014—2015学年度第二学期期末考试第I卷(共90分)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和D )中,选出最佳选项。

AIt was Saturday, so Mr. Smith did not have to go to work. It had snowed heavily the night before, and Mr. Smith’s son Bobby ha d a new sledge (雪橇), which he had been very eager to try out for a long while. There was a good slope (斜坡) in a park not far away from the Smiths’ house — a slope which children often used for their sledges, so Mr. Smith agreed to take Bobby there in the car. They put the sledge in and went off.When they reached the park, they found that there were already a lot of boys there, each boy with a sledge of his own. They were sliding down the slope at great speed, and then pulling their sledges up again for another go.Mr. Smith stood by, watching them with a smile. It was obvious that each and every one of them had much fun. After a few moments, Mr. Smith suddenly saw among the boys a kid who was small and poorly-dressed, and did not have a sledge. This boy had flattened out one old cardboard box, and was sliding down the slope on that. Mr. Smith felt very sorry for this poor boy, and determined to tell his son Bobby to share his new sledge with the boy.But before he could catch Bobby to speak to him, he was somewhat surprised — and much more delighted — to notice that several of the older boys in the park were already offering the poor boy their nice sledges. Mr. Smith watched them with greater interest —and suddenly realized that the bigger boys were not doing this because they felt sorry for the poor boy, but because they enjoyed riding on his cardboard box more than on their own sledges. They were actually waiting eagerly and impatiently for a turn on the flattened cardboard box!21. What did Bobby desire to do for a long time?A. To test and play with his new sledge.B. To make a new icy slope by himself.C. To skate with his father in the nearby park.D. To ride in his father’s car on a snowy night.22. What did Mr. Smith notice shortly after arriving at the park?A. Some boys were waiting for their turns to slide patiently.B. A poor boy didn’t have a sledge but a flattened cardboard box.C. A big boy was sliding down the slope on a sledge at great speed.D. Many boys offered to share their own sledges with each other.23. Mr. Smith was very pleased before speaking to his son because ____________.A. the bigger boys enjoyed riding on their sledges more than on the boxB. the small and poor boy had already got a new sledge from his parentsC. all the boys were sharing the flattened cardboard box in turns politelyD. some of the bigger boys had already offered their sledges to the poor boy24. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Children should be taught the value of sharing at an early age.B. The cardboard box is always a perfect gift for the bigger boys.C. Simple and unusual things are sometimes popular among the kids.D. Actually the bigger boys wanted to help the poor boy in some way.BDuring the tsunami (海啸) disaster of 2004, over 300,000 people died. No one has counted the number of animals killed, but we know that it wasn’t many. All over the region, before the disaster struck, animals were behaving strangely.Shortly before the tsunami, in Khaolak, Thailand, twelve elephants that were giving tourists rides became agitated. They suddenly left their usual habitat, carrying four surprised Japanese tourists to safety. On the eastern coast of India, flamingos (火烈鸟), which should be breeding at this time of year, suddenly flew to higher ground. Of the two thousand wild pigs that live in an Indian nature reserve, only one was found dead after the tsunami.The idea that the animals are able to predict disasters is nothing new. In fact, it has been well-recorded over the years. Twelve hours before Hurricane Charlie hit Florida in 2004, fourteensharks left their natural habitat and stayed in deep waters for two weeks. The sharks, which were being observed by US scientists, had never done this before. They escaped the hurricane. In the winter of 1975 in Haicheng, China, snakes which would normally have been hibernating (冬眠) were seen on the ground. Days later there was a big earthquake striking.Unlike human beings, wild animals’ senses are sharper and they can feel even the smallest changes in the environment. In other words, they see natural warnings that are invisible to the human eye. Ancient people probably had the similar “senses”, which they needed to survive, but these have been lost to us as modern technology leads us further away from the danger that nature creates.The real question is, can we use the reactions of animals to save ourselves from natural disasters? Animal behaviour expert, Rupesh Kaneira, believes we have no choice. “The technology which we re ly on isn’t always perfect, and in poorer countries it isn’t even available. Animals know the environment better than any of us. When they run for their lives, we must follow.”25. The underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 2 probably means ___________.A. worried and nervousB. tired and uneasyC. disappointed and sadD. excited and happy26. How is the third paragraph developed?A. By giving explanations.B. By listing examples.C. By presenting the reasons.D. By comparing the differences.27. The wild animals can predict the natural disasters because they ___________.A. can run for their lives when natural disasters happenB. don’t even have the modern technology to help themC. are being observed and tracked for scientific experimentsD. are quick to notice the slightest changes in the environment28. The best title of the passage might be ___________.A. Few Animals Died in TsunamiB. Animals React to the DisastersC. Animals can Survive the DisastersD. Watching Animals will Save UsCAttractions in YorkYork MinsterDeangate, York YO1 7HHEnjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the largest Medieval Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, a place for worship for over 1,000 years and a treasure house of 800 years of stained glass.

Why is that, do you suppose? Wouldn’t you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth — women are queens of the road.Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because wedon’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers, bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wou ldn’t be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.33. If a woman driver feels lost, she will ___________.A. tell the man next to her to shut upB. stop the car and ask people for helpC. take the wrong turns at a high speedD. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping34. In Paragraph 3, the writer tries to tell us that ___________.A. women often play tricks on the police in chargeB. women always have more responsibility for livesC. men are more confident and more skillful in drivingD. men usually have to be pulled over to the roadsides35. Which of the following about men drivers worries the writer most?A. Not paying full attention.B. Making jokes about women.C. Not stopping for directions.D. Getting more speeding tickets.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。

高二英语月考试题及答案-唐山市第一中学2015-2016学年高二上学期开学调研

唐山一中2015-2016学年度第一学期开学调研Ⅰ卷(满分110分)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AOn the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr. Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math probl em. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).”He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.But Mr. Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr. Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”He said, “Yes, Mr. Brown.”“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”“I want to buy my mother a house.”“It is possible, Mr. Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.“Mr. Washington?”“What do you want now?”“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”School was a real struggle for me. Mr. Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr. Brown, please?”“Oh, Mr. Washington, is that you?”“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”“Yes, sir, I was.”21. What does Mr. Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others.B. You should believe what other people say.C. What other people say about you may not be correct.D. The doctor made a mistake.22. What happened to the author at last?A. He entered a good university.B. He earned much honor.C. He got a good job.D. He made television programs.23. In the passage, the author implies that _______.A. people shouldn’t be lieve what doctors sayB. no one can be successful with hard work and confidenceC. no one is really educable mentally retardedD. a good teacher can change a student’s life24. The best title for the passage would be “________”.A. Don’t believe oth ersB. I am the oneC. My best teacherD. I succeeded at lastBYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast be fore heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a c entral Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.25. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.26. What do we know fr om Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.27. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. s ensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors28. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.C29. According to the comments of the Physical Education teacher, Simon_______.A. is too talkative in the classB. likes to work with his classmatesC. doesn’t exercise his body at the right timeD. becomes weak because he doesn’t exercise at all30. Which of Simon’s subjects will attract the headmaster’s attention in future?A. Biology and Maths.B. History and French.C. English and Chemistry.D. Physics and Physical Education.31. Which of the following statements best describes Simon?A. He has made great progress in language classes.B. His potential has been fully reflected in science classes.C. His grade in maths makes him a born scientist.D. He needs to improve his attitude to certain subjects.32. Based on the school report, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Simon didn’t bother his teacher to revise French.B. Basically, Simon did a good job in science.C. Simon is a determined learner in English.D. Simon is able to pay attention to history for long.DThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉) . Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps itis just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to (而非) three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.33. Babies are sensitive to the change in______.A. the size of cardsB. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects34. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies’ interest.35. Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children’s literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.EPeople aren’t walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in a hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune ( 免疫的),for I was used to the traditionof going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old, I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphy Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise --- the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, which he cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.36. What’s is the national sickness?A. Walking too much.B. Traveling too much.C. Driving cars too much.D. Climbing stairs too much.37. What was life like when the author was young?A. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.38. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _______.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease39. What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?A. A queue of cars.B. A ray of traffic light.C. A flash of lightning.D. A stream of people.40. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?A. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up driving.C. To advise people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future, but the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The vill agers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It w as the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.56. From paragraph I we learn that the villagers ______.A.worked very hard for centuriesB.dreamed of having a better lifeC.were poor but somewhat contentD.lived a different life from their forefathers57. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs? ______.A. The frogs were easy money.B. They need money to buy visitors.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs made too much noise.58. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness? ______.A. The crops didn’t do well.B. There were too many insects.C. The visitors brought in diseases.D. The pesticides were overused.59. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text? ______.A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the village.B. Health is more important than money.C. The harmony of man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.BI got my first driver's license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in charlotte, North Carolina.

Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because _____.A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland lawB. she lacked driving experience in MarylandC. she was to give birth to a baby soonD. she insisted on signing for herself62. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. _____.A. American males should serve in the armyB. different states my have different lawsC. people have to renew their licenses in their home statesD. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriageCI hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York, "I'm having a dinner party" means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly (平均地), no matter what you eat." In Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don't drink, end up paying even more. But if you try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going ?" And I cannot say I have somewhere to go because everyone knows I have nowhere to go.But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdatle's, a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was, while In New York people would think it was a usual club.63. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. ChoiceB. TryC. StyleD. Goal64. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive.C. The bill is not fairly shared.D. People have to pay cash.65. What does the author think of the parties in London?A. A bit unusualB. Full of tricksC. Less costlyD. More interesting66. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?A. Easy-going.B. Self-centered.C. Generous.D. Conservative.DToo much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower educationlevels among 26-year -olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may wash lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours those had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms66. According to the Caledonia study, the low-scoring group might _____.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be interested ted in mathC. is unable to go to collegeD. have had computers in their bedrooms68. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain69. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.70. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning Habits第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAudrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey’s father was British and her mother was Dutch.Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World WarⅡ, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from Germant he war. But she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina. So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the c haracter “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Children’s Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World WarⅡ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.21. In Paragraph 1, “her aid work” means.A. making moviesB. taking acting parts in stage showsC. winning an Academy Award as Best ActressD. acting as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF22. The reason why Audrey lived and studied in the Netherlands was that .A. she wanted to be a ballerinaB. her parents were from BritainC. the education there was excellentD. it was safe there23. is NOT mentioned in the passage about Audrey Hepburn.A. MarriageB. IdentityC. ContributionD. Religion24. is the right order for Audrey’s life.①The first time she began to play in movies.②She returned to London from the Netherlands.③She won an Academy Award as Best Actress.④She travelled all over the world on support of UNICEF projects.⑤She played a part in My Fair Lady.A.②①③⑤④B.①②③⑤④C.②①⑤③④D.①②⑤③④25. According to the comments of the Physical Education teacher, Simon_______.A. is too talkative in the classB. likes to work with his classmatesC. doesn’t exercise his body at the right timeD. becomes weak because he doesn’t exercise at all26. Which of Simon’s subjects will attract the headmaster’s att ention in future?A. Biology and Maths.B. History and French.C. English and Chemistry.D. Physics and Physical Education.27. Which of the following statements best describes Simon?A. He has made great progress in language classes.B. His potential has been fully reflected in science classes.C. His grade in maths makes him a born scientist.D. He needs to improve his attitude to certain subjects.28. Based on the school report, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Si mon didn’t bother his teacher to revise French.B. Basically, Simon did a good job in science.C. Simon is a determined learner in English.D. Simon is able to pay attention to history for long.CIt’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made melearn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!29. The underlined word “obstacles” (in Paragraph 2) roughly means things that ______.A. are related to your studiesB. you easily achieveC. make you happyD. make it difficult for you to do something30. How does the author now feel when remembering what her parents did for her in the past?A. She is fearfulB. She is gratefulC. She feels trappedD. She feels hateful31. We can know from the last paragraph that ______.A. life without challenges is dullB. life needs no pains but sunshine and happinessC. faced with challenges, we should give up as the future is oursD. we shouldn’t easily pay a little hard work in growing up32. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ______.A. life is full of hardshipsB. growing pains can turn into growing gains in a positive wayC. everyone is painful in growing upD. everyone should do what they don’t like when youngDThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert (警觉) . Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focus — until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to (而非) three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise (同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.33.
