2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷(解析版)

2016-2017学年高二上期中考试英语试卷（解析版）一、阅读理解1、阅读理解According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping p ositions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position. He found that this is the most common bedtime p osition, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up (蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standin g guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and t hese people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake u p stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往) sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sl eep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themsel ves. Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always exp ecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the da y ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style m akes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down w ith arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, fe el like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.Inconclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A go od night's sleep set you up for the following day and our sleep ing positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

河南省封丘一中2016-2017学年高二上学期期中考试英语试卷 Word版含答案

封丘一中高二英语期中考试卷第二部：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，并在答案卷上将其涂黑。

AIt seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Mary had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is like spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Mary found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. I told Mary that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧，束缚) into a larger cocoon.I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian. These days there’s a great barrier for the youn g person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. Well, go to it. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.1．Why was the author worried about his daughter’s popularity in her new school?A. She might find no true friends.B. She would ignore her academic performance.C. She had no idea of her own.D. She might betray her true self.2．What does the author think of most teenagers?A. They’re afraid of getting lost in life.B. They have difficulty understanding each other.C. They lack the courage to be truly different.D. They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.3．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word "nonconformist" in Paragraph 4?A. Someone who cares about others’ opinion.B. Someone who desires popularity greatly.C. Someone who behaves in his own way.D. Someone who wants to please others.4．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.B. To tell parents how to guide their children.C. To criticize the present values and beliefs.D. To suggest a good way to be popular.BDoing well in high school prepares students for life in college and beyond, so achieving student success is important. High school students learn valuable information from class lectures and homework, and by asking for help when it is needed. Being prepared for tests and engaging in school activities can help a student to achieve success in high school.Complete any homework you are assigned on time. Then, if you need help understanding a concept you will have plenty of time to get help.Create a study area in your home. This can be a quiet bench outside or a seating area in your room. If you like to listen to music while studying, listen to classical or relaxing music. Be sure to have plenty of lighting in the area to read your textbook or notes.Keep a schedule. If you have extra-curricular activities like sports or school meetings, make sure to schedule your homework and study time around them. Keeping a schedule will allow you to get better grades while they are having fun in high school.Eat breakfast. Having breakfast each morning before school will give you energy and brain function to pay better attention in class. Eat snacks during study sessions to keep alert and focused on your work.Create a study group to help fellow high school students and get help if you need it. Studying with others will help reinforce concepts and information, and if you need help there will always be someone there to help you before you get behind in your studies.Set up after-school hours with your teacher if you need extra tutoring. Visiting a teacher for one-on-one time before a test will help you nail down those last few concepts you need help with.5．What will make it possible for the high school students to get better grades while they are having fun?A. Creating a study area in their home.B. Keeping a schedule and following it.C. Eating breakfast every morning before school.D. Finding a tutor to get one-on -one instruction.6．How can the students help themselves before they fall behind in their studies?A. Eat snacks during the study time to keep alert.B. Create a study group to get help if you need it.C. Make sure to have plenty of lighting in the study area.D. Be prepared for the exam and engaged in the school activity.7．What is the best title of the passage?A. How to achieve student success in high school.B. How to make full preparations for the exam.C. Ways to get better grades than other studentsD. Ways to improve the learning efficiencyCParents will do anything for their children. Whether it would be the food, clothes, or the place they live in, parents will always make sure their children have the best of everything. One of the biggest concerns that parents currently have is educating their children. They are faced with lots of difficulties when it comes to education for their young ones. Choices include private school, charter school, public school or home schooling.Fortunately for parents, there are a variety of different strategies that they can take in order to increase their child’s overall intelligence. According to Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, a child’s brain will actually reach 90% of its full size by the time they start kindergarten.Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago concluded that playing a musical instrument directly affected the brain stem, the lower section of the brain. Moreover, children that learn an instrument at an early age tend to continue it when they are older. And numerous studies show that a well-balanced meal is essential for a child’s mental as well as physical health. Some other researchers recommended that a second language should be taught when children are in preschool. They state that three to four years of age is the perfect time and that any age under four would work perfectly fine for a child’s brain development.The average child will learn how to read between kindergarten and second grade. Many parents can give their children a jump start by teaching them to read before they start school. Children could have an adequate background of the alphabet and sounds of words before attending school. This can be done by simply reading to them whenever you want. The more comfortable they get, the easier the process will be.8．From the first paragraph, we can infer that _________.A. parents have more choices in offering education to their kidsB. parents find it hard to satisfy their kids’ various demandsC. parents get actively involved in the process of their kids’ growthD. parents meet a new challenge when raising their kids9．What suggestion may the researchers in the passage make?A. To try as many means as possible.B. To train kids as early as possible.C. To help kids develop as fully as possible.D. To use as many available resources as possible.10．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss about?A. The effective ways to help develop children’s brains.B. The proper time to teach children to learn languages.C. The vital factors to have a great effect on children’s healt h.D. The practical steps to arouse children’s interest in study.11．We can replace the words “jump start” in the last paragraph with _________.A.inspirationB.promotionC.suggestionD.introductionDWang Baoqiang announced online on Sunday that he was divorcing his wife, Ma Rong, and sacking(解雇) his agent, Song Zhe. He said that his marriage broke down after his wife had an affair with his agent, and that she had also transferred the couple’s joint assets(资产). Ma has hit back at Wang, accusing him of abandoning their family.The topic has sparked a debate about relationships and divorce. It seems Wang’s situation has struck a chord with many - which could explain the number of views, which are high even by Chinese standards.The divorce quickly became a top trending topic in China. According to micro blog Sina Weibo, posts with the hashtag “Wang BaoQiang Divorce” have been viewed over five billion times. Chinese netizens seem to have helped around Wang, with topics like “Wang Don’t Cry” “Wang We Support You”, quickly trending after news of the divorce spread. Statistics by Weibo showed that 47% of netizens’ posts condemned Ma for her affair, saying it had destroyed her family.But why are they so interested? What made all of China so angry?Some people feel that this divorce seems to fit a certain trope - of a beautiful but ordinary girl marrying a rich but less good-looking man. It is not uncommon to hear the belief that a couple has to "match" at every level - be fit in status, or physical appearance - for a relationship to work out. Wang and Ma’s split has many people wondering if uneven matches are unlikely to succeed.A lot of social media discussion has also centered around divorce, and in particular how people can protect themselves. Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couple’s assets. They’re a wealthy couple - their assets, according to Chinese media, include nine flats, a BMW car and various luxury goods. As a result, people are debating the importance of protecting individual assets, even after marriage.12．What is the possible reason why Wang Baoqiang wanted a divorce?A. He abandoned his wife and family deliberatelyB. He wanted to make his divorce a top trending topic on the internet.C. He found his wife had an affair with his agent and that she had also transferred thecouple’s joint assets.D. He wanted to protect himself and individual assets.13．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A .It is Ma Rong who should take responsibility for the divorce.B.A couple has to "match" at every level for a relationship to work out.C. If they get divorced, Wang Baoqiang will have an equal share of their joint assets.D. The announcement of the divorce has made netizens debate the uneven matches andthe protection of individual assets in marriage.14．What does the second sentence in paragraph 2 mean?A.A large number of people are sympathetic to the recent situation of Wang Baoqiang.B. Many people are in favor of Wang Baoqiang’s announcement of the divorce.C. Most netizens condemned Ma for her affair with Song Zhe, criticizing her forbreaking the marriage.D. people are indifferent to Wang Baoqiang’s announcement of the divorce.15．What is the text mainly about?A. Wang Baoqiang announced online he was divorcing his wife, Ma RongB. Uneven matches are unlikely to succeed.C.It is important to protect individual assets, even after marriage.D. Why a celebrity divorce has aroused netizens’interest.第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

河南2016--2017学年第一学期期中考试高二--英语第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan. "And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don’t send me check, already two weeks late. "And then, in perfe ct English I said, "I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived. "Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss. " And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can’ttolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week. "The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.21. Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was often misunderstood.B. She was unable to speak good English.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.22. From Paragraph 2,we know that the author was .A. unwilling to phone for her motherB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD.good at pretending23. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New York immediatelyC. they failed to get the checkD. they spoke to their boss at once24. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her tolerate rude people.D. It helps her understand the world.BGiselle and Finnegan have given Mother’s Day a strange new style. It seems that a mother dog has adopted(收养)a baby squirrel(松鼠)who doesn’t have parents.When Finnegan was in need of help，I took him in. To my surprise，my dog Giselle，who gave birth to babies a week ago，liked the little animal and took him into her home. Giselle seemed to know that the baby was in need of some love. Finnegan was perfectly happy to stay with the little dogs.A mother dog is much like a human mother who feeds，protects，and teaches her children to live in their world. In the early weeks，a mother dog will protect her babies，keep them warm，nurse them and clean them. As they grow older and begin to walk，she teaches them to play outside and keep their living places clean.She also teaches them how to deal with others and how to obey parents.It is natural for little dogs to play，but when they do not behave well，the mother dog will step in. If the play becomes too rough(粗暴的)，she will discipline(使守纪律)all the little dogs by holding them down until they stop struggling. That’s why it is best for l ittle dogs to stay with their mother until at least 7 or 8 weeks of age.Giselle’s doggy methods of mothering may go against the squirrel’s instincts(本能)as he grows older. I have no doubt that Giselle’s loving care helped the little squirrel live during those early days.25. According to this passage，Finnegan is ________.A. a little squirrel that is being looked after by a dogB. a warmhearted woman who loves animalsC. a little dog whose parents left himD. a dog mother who is good at taking care of babies26. Which of the following does a mother dog NOT do?A. Feed and protect her little dogs.B. Provide her babies with milk.C. Teach her babies how to fight others.D. Show her babies how to keep clean.27. Why will the dog mother step in if the little dogs start to play roughly?A. She wants to play with them.B. She wants to punish them.C. She wants them to respect and love each other.D. She wants to correct their behavior.28. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Mother Dog’s Love for BabiesB. Animals and HumansC. A Mother Dog’s DayD. A Dog and Its OwnerCYour job is important and part of what shows who you are. However, in order to be truly successful in life you need to be balanced. After fifteen years in the Information Technology industry, I have learned a few lessons that have helped me maintain my sanity (明智) at work.The key for me has always been to have hobbies and interests outside of work. It doesn’t matter what you do, but you need time away from your work, time away from your family and time that is strictly yours for enjoyment. This blog, for example, is one of my new hobbies. Without hobbies, or at least a time to decompress, I feel that by the end of the week I’m dead and no use to my family all the weekend long.I put family first. This doesn’t mean I’m a clock-watcher at work, but means that I leave my work at work and make time for my family. I make sure I’m there for supper almost every night and I spend time with my family (And watching TV doesn’t count). My overall life runs a lot better when I make sure I give time to my family.If I don’t do something active like running, playing soccer or rock climbing, I tend to be ill-tempered. This is the way I deal with my stress; it’s not only something that makes me feel good, but also means that I can focus on work.I take time for personal reflection (反省). It makes me feel like all those goals I haven’t reached yet are attainable(可达到的) if I stay focused and on course.29. We can learn from the text that the author .A. thinks people are what they doB. posted this text in his blogC. seldom has supper with his familyD. worked in the IT industry 15 years ago30. What does the underlined word “decompress” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Play sports.B.Reduce stress.C. Be with the family.D. Improve oneself.31. The author puts family first, .A. for he doesn’t like his work muchB. so he often watches TV with themC. for a good family life does good to his overall lifeD. so he always expects to go home at work32. According to the author, we should to deal with stress.A. do much readingB. focus on our workC. keep a good moodD. do something activeDAre you a dog person or a cat person?With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online, it’s easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more. There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other. So, have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you?In fact, a 2010 study done by Sam Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas, US, and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted (外向的), agreeable(有礼貌的) and con- scientious (认真的) than cat people.“Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog magazine.Just on the basis of dogs’ nature being more sociable than cats’, you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability. And Gosling’s study found that dog people are generally about15 percent more extroverted and 13 percent more agreeable, both of which are linked with social orientation (态度).In addition, dog people are 11 percent more conscientious than cat people. “Conscientiousness” is a tendency (趋势) to show self-discipline (自律), to complete tasks and aim for achievement. This trait (特点) also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous (一时冲动的) behavior.In comparison, cat people are about 12 percent more anxious, but they are also 11 percent more “open” than dog people, due to a general appreciation for art, emotion, imagination, curiosity, adventure, unusual ideas and variety of experience. And people high on openness（率直的）are more likely to hold unconventional (非传统的) beliefs.Despite vast differences, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.33. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Differences between dogs and cats in their personality traits.B. Factors that influence people’s preference for dogs or cats.C. How raising a pet helps shape your personality.D. What your preference for dogs or cats tells about you.34. According to the study done by Sam Gosling, dog owners tend to ______ than cat owners.A. be more imaginative and creativeB. live a more organized lifeC. be more easygoing and adventurousD. love to get close to nature more35. According to the article, both dog people and cat people ______.A. are generally self-disciplinedB. like to wear animal-print clothingC. are likely to hold unconventional beliefsD. are usually positive and care about nature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。

Make su re that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are begin ning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medi cal problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But l ike so many other things, it is only too much stress（22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, yo u would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stres s, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain p oint, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, th ough, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and fin ally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） num ber of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is be ing expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all th ose questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is go od for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your l ife. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stres s is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the word s in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that ther e is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___3 1___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importa nce on the____32___ that make each student special. The ed ucational systems in these countries show these values. Stud ents do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33_ ___and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their o wn ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the sam e language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient ___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teach ing __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized .There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the syst em in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high sch ool. They also study more hours each day and more days eac h year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is a n____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet man y students say that after an exam, they forget much of the info rmation they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, o n the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves . The system prepares them for a society that values ___39__ __ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many b asic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ou rselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to o ur beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to w hich we are willing to （41）our belief systems determi nes the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely （43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even i f you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44）to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear th at your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the c ourage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are n ot （46） would probably stop your trying．And that wo uld be a major （47） to invest your energy in your dre am．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy wo uld pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your succes s. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ide as and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willingto invest in the various products available for trade on the sto ck market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．O ne way to open up the possibility for greater success in our in ner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable （51） we sometimes think．There are other more reli able things of success that we can put our（52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the o nes that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the （53） opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guid e us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to ful ly invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ide as about what is possible, we（55） the resources that have the power to make our i nner economy prosper．41．A．simplifB．challenge C．eliminate D．maintainy42．A．possessedB．trusted C．objected D．missed 43．A．reject B．preserve C．deny D．share 44．A．willing B．sorry C．reluctant D．ready45．A．succes s B．knowledgeC．professionD．investment46．A．devote d B．talented C．concernedD．interested47．A．obstacleB．excuse C．chance D．principle48．A．import ant B．fixed C．changeableD．stimulating49．A．enhanceB．reserve C．release D．follow 50．A．energy B．hobby C．expense D．belief 51．A．guide B．ability C．goal D．policy 52．A．aim B．faith C．task D．dream53．A．unacce ptable B．strange C．unbelievableD．common54．A．questio ning B．understandingC．interpretingD．believing55．A．stick to B．lead to C．free up D．leave outSection B（11×2=22分）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Fo r each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

They develop skills needed by many different kinds of companies.All MBA programs teach students about subjects including ec onomics, the structure of organizations, finance, marketing and policy. Students then do more study in areas that interest th em. It usually takes two years to get an MBA degree if you att end school full-time. Many programs permit students to take classes while th ey work. These programs take longer to complete.Business is one of the most popular areas of study for foreign students in the United States. To be admitted to an MBA prog rams, foreign students must show a clear understanding of En glish by taking the TOEFL test. All students must also take th e Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). The score s on this test are used by more than 1,500 graduate programs throughout the world.Studying for an MBA can be costly. The program at the Unive rsity of Virginia, for example, costs more than $22,000 a year. That cost does not include housing and food. Foreign student s can get financial aid for MBA studies after the first year. The Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia today has 120 foreign students studying for an MBA degree.To get information about studying for an MBA, use the compu ter and go to a website called MBA Explorer. The Internet add ress is . Another way is to go to a meeting of th e Graduate Management Admission Council. These meetings are called MBA Forums.

Safety De partment.（C）Talking to human-like devices can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU ) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human inter action when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to wri te about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but p articipants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also a sked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek o ut normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways in clude increasing their number of social media friends or enga ging in behaviors to seek out interaction with other people, ac cording to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at K U.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were li mits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machin e and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes a way. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious lev el.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers t o realize how these types of products could affect their social i nteraction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “Fro m that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that ca n increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal soc ial interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,”Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focu sing on developing your real personal connections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that____ ____.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce pe ople’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect” in Paragraph 7 refers t o the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with ot her people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on real social interaction. C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their current relat ionships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improve their products .Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be us ed only once. Note that there are two more sentences than yo u need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached on e billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the f act that more than one in seven people in the world do not ha ve enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year t han diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populo us continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower p opulation than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry p eople. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there ar e only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the ove r-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. M any people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up th e prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most imp ortant reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased re cently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there woul d be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few pe ople would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distri bution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen e ven more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 w ords. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happine ss. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in lif e. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the futur e-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simpl e pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your fa vorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier live s.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many peop le go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their pro blems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helpin g others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someo ne. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around th e house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I. Translation（3+3+4+5=15分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, usi ng the words given in the brackets.71. 据说他不久就要被提升为总经理。

AAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.21. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.A. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are travelling fast all the timeD. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before22. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stressB. Stress is always harmful to people’s healthC. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress23. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.A. expose ourselves to stressB. find ways to deal with stressC. remove stress from our livesD. established links between diseases and stress24. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _______.A. to avoid itB. to try to cope with itC. to regard it as a vital motivationD.to find some relaxationBNEW YORK: New York on Thursday, 13 Sept, became the first city in the United States to enforce a limited ban on super-sized soda drinks blamed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg for fueling a national obesity crisis.The Board of Health's formal approval of the ban---proposed by Bloomberg and praised by health campaigners, but hotly opposed by soft drinks manufacturers—was not considered a surprise.The city health commissioner, Thomas Farley, called the vote "historic".However, Liz Berman, president of Continental Food and Beverage and head of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices lobby group, described the "discriminatory ban" as a "fix"."It's sad that the board wants to limit our choices. We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink." she said in a statement.However, there is nothing to stop people from buying as much soda as they like by refilling smaller containers. Also, the ban does not extend to drinks sold in supermarkets or any dairy or fruit drinks, many of which also contain huge quantities of sugar.Diet and alcoholic drinks are also exempted. The measure, which could face legal challenges from the soft drinks industry, takes effect in six months.According to official statistics, some 6,000 people in New York die each year from obesity-linked problems. One in eight adult New Yorkers has diabetes, which can be worsened bysugar consumption.Boosting the mayor, the newly-built basketball stadium for the Brooklyn Nets announced it will immediately adopt the rules, well ahead of the March 12 deadline.The measure generated a stormy debate, including 38,000 comments written to the Board of Health. Polls showed a majority of people opposed the ban.25. Why does New York enforce the limited ban on super-sized soda drinks?A. Because it is believed that soda drinks are of harm to health.B. Because it is believed that soda drinks cause the nation overweight.C. Because too many people don't like drinking soda drinks.D. Because super-sized soda drinks block the sugar consumption.26. What can we infer from the passage about Liz Berman?A. She is in charge of the production of soda drinks all over the country.B. She is very angry that the city government limits what to eat and drink.C. She takes the limited ban on super-sized soda drinks as an unfair one.D. She is smart enough to know what she eats or drinks.27. The underlined word "exempted" means ________ in the 7th paragraph.A. relievedB. unfairC. upsetD. limited28. When will the limited ban be carried out according to the passage?A. This September.B. This November.C. The coming January.D. The coming March.CAustralia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.Enough laws have been made to fight against pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat downand had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves.Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep. 29.

Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was amazed. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsib le for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided torefuse his help. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.32. The author’s roommate offered to help him because________.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer33.

Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.A．friendly B. greedy C．professional D．busy35. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. there are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Money is more important than other things in the US.第二节（共5 小题，每小题 1 分，满分5 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。
