AThree years ago when I was still in the university, I also worked at a restaurant.An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzlesand among his peers (同龄人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzlesin less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戏) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what doyou think is man’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that.Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money.He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.1. We can learn from the text that Mr. Filio ______.A. was generous to young peopleB. was good at word puzzlesC. lived quite near the restaurantD. won a prize from the Philippine Star Newspaper2. The author got a gift because ______.A. Mr. Filio was thankful for her helpB. Mr. Filio was satisfied with her serviceC. she was the first person to beat Mr. FilioD. she was the new record keeper in the restaurant3. After she heard what Mr. Filio said, the author probably felt ______.A. amazedB. excitedC. touchedD. inspired4. What would be the best title of the text?A. Happiness is also a successB. Interest is the best teacherC. Scrabble makes a differenceD. His words change my lifeBWe all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our children leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ahead of the competition?All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much information available to them these days, they must be able to read quickly and accurately. That’s why your children need to be able to speed-read.It’s ironic (讽刺的) that at this time of space-age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication—the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (重新流行) of writing, and if you can’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. You certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.You can help to make sure that your children are excellent writers—you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhile pursuit (事业)—learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer games, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you want your children to have treasured memories of time spent with you, learn together.For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you can invest in your children’s future—help them learn to write well with my six-part writing course.Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behind.5. From the last two paragraphs, we can know the main purpose of the passage is_______A. To encourage students to be better prepared for the future.B. To list the qualities children must have for their future success.C. To persuade parents to choose a writing course for their kids.D. To explain the difficult situation children have to face at present.6. In the author’s opinion, ______.A. speed-reading is the first step in a child’s formal educationB. children today waste too much time on games, movies and sportsC. children’s success depends much on good skills in reading and writingD. writing helps people communicate more effectively in modern society7. What does the author think of writing as a form of communication now?A. Important.B. Funny.C. Informal.D.Old-fashioned.8. What’s the advantage of children’s learning together with their parents?A. They will learn more quickly and accurately.B. They will not be affected by games and sports.C. It will encourage them to work for a higher pursuit.D. They will have good memories of time spent with parents.C Tess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and their parents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother, "Only a miracle can save him now." Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall's Drug Store. "And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen for ages." "Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the sameannoyed tone. "He's really sick. He has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the chemist said, softening a little. "Listen, I can help you." The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know," Tess replied. "Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money." "How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more, if I need to." "Well，what a coincidence (巧合)," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents －the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Take me to where you live. Let's see if 1 have the kind of miracle you need." That man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well． Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost… one dollar and eleven cents… plus the faith of a little child.9. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Tess's brother would recover because there was a miracle. B. Tess's brother would die because his family had no money to treat his illness. C. Tess's family would look for a miracle to treat Andrew's illness. D. Andrew should go to hospital for a miracle.10. Why did the chemist get annoyed first？ A. Because he was a nervous man． B. Because Tess didn't buy his medicine. C. Because Tess had bothered him and his brother. D. Because Tess was poorly dressed.11. What can we learn about Dr. Carlton Armstrong? A. He was a stone－hearted man. B. He cared for only a little money. C. He never helped others unless given a lot of money．D. He was a kind gentleman and ready to help others.12. What can be the best title？A. A dying boy and her sisterB. A miracle of $ 1.11C. A kind doctor and his brotherD. A poor girl and a doctorD In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.13. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______. A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are rich. C. don't want others to know they are rich D. want to be happy14. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. live with many neighbors15. What's the author's attitude to keeping up with the Joneses?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Supportive.D. Objective. 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。

甘肃省会宁县第一中学2019届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen it comes to purchasing your first bike, the choice is endless, making it tough to know what to go for. Here are the the best buys on the market right now.1. Boardman CX CompThis is a cross-country bike, and it’s so multifunctional that you can handle any terrain (地势) on it, making it a great choice for those wanting to try various cycling subjects. If you leave on the thick tires it comes with, it can ride on various paths and can even handle some less demanding mountain bike routes. Alternatively, put on thin, smooth tires and treat it as a road bike. It has a basket and comes with Shimano Sora gears(变速器), which are outstanding for its price.&650, Halfords2. Planet X RT-58 v2Planet X is based in Yorkshire, which means you’d probably have to buy this bike without seeing it. But it’s worth it, because this is an excellent machine at a lower price. Planet X is a highly ra ted manufacture and this model comes with Shimano Sora gearing.&585, Planet X3. Specialized Allez ESSpecialized is one of the biggest and most popular brands in cycling, and this is its hugely popular primary road bike. It comes with solid components fr om front to back and you’ll look great out on the road.&575, Evans Cycles4. Boardman Road Team CarbonIf you can push your budget further still, this bike is worth the extra investment. The frame is made entirely from carbon, which is lighter, faster and more comfortable than the composition metal models above and gives you an all-round more enjoyable ride. It also means that if you get really serious about cycling, you don’t have to upgrade as quickly as you would with a cheaper bike.&800, Halfords21. What is special about Boardman CX Comp?A. Its Shimano Sora gearsB. Its various functionsC. Its reasonable priceD. Its firm tires22. Which one has the lowest price but with Shimano Sora gears?A. Planet X RT-58 v2B. Specialized Allez E5C. Boardman CX CompD. Boardman Road Team Carbon23. What can we learn about the bikes mentioned in the text?A. Planet X RT-58 v2 has been sold out so farB. Boardman CX Comp is actually a mountain bikeC. Specialized Allez E5 is designed for senior cyclistsD. Boardman Road Tram Carbon is made by special materialsBWho decided that blue jeans and T-shirts are “cool” for kids to wear today? Who designs the clothes you see for sale in stores? All of these questions concern the world of fashion.Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing t hat stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants (降落伞裤) all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing st ores!Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!24. The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 suggest that _____.A. fashion always changesB. stars are always influentialC. people have different dressing stylesD. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers25. Fashions change mainly because _____.A. advertisements change rapidlyB. popular culture influences peopleC. movie stars are changing over timeD. new films and shows replace the old26. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress _____.A. the advantages of staying uniqueB. the bad effects of following fashionC. the good influences of popular stylesD. the importance of having one’s own personality27. We can learn from the text that _____.A. fashion is all about clothesB. the author has gone out of fashionC. clothes may separate and distance peopleD. people like imitating oth ers’ dressing styleCScientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger."Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth."We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," explained Dalen."It is highly likely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.28. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth29. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilized bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.30. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food.B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths.31. What is the text type of the passage?A. A newspaper article.B. An academic essay.C. A historical description.D. A science fiction story.DIt‟s no secret that American infrastructure is aging. Concrete(混凝土) structures, in particular, are in desperate need of repair.Cracks (缝隙) are very common due to various chemical and physical phenomena that occur during everyday use, which can be quite harmful as they provide an easy route in for liquids and gasses and theharmful substances they might contain. But continuous repair work is difficult because it usually requires a huge amount of labor and investment. So since 2013, I‟ve been trying to figure out how these harmful cracks could heal themselves without human involvement. The idea was originally inspired by the amazing ability of the human body to heal itself of cuts, bruises and broken bones. In the same way, can we provide necessary products to concrete to fill in cracks when damage happens?My colleagues from Binghamton University and I have found an unusual candidate to help concrete heal itself: a fungus (真菌) called Trichoderma reesei. We initially screened about 20 different species of fungi in order to find one that could stand the difficult conditions in concrete. Of all the fungi we tested, only T. reesei could survive this environment. Despite the sudden PHincrease, its spores (孢子) developed into threadlike things and grew equally well with or without concrete.We propose including fungal spores, together with nutrients, during the initial mixing process when building a new concrete structure. When the unavoidable cracking occurs and water finds its way in, the sleeping fungal spores will start to grow. They then will work as an activator within the calcium-rich conditions of the concrete to promote precipitation (析出) of calcium carbonatecrystals. These mineral deposits can fill in the cracks. If cracks form again and environmental conditions become favorable, the spores could wake up and repeat the process.Our research is still in the initial stage and there’s a l ong way to go to make self-healing concrete practical and cost-effective. But the scope of American infrastructure’s challenges makes exploring creative solutions like this worthwhile.32. Why does the author mention the self-healing of human body?A.To show how amazing human body is.B.To prove everything will turn out to be fine.C.To provide a possibility of concrete healing itself.D.To stress that it’s unnecessary to have medicines.33. What do we know about T. reesei?A.It has been applied to building a new concrete.B.It can bear the tough conditions in concrete.C. Its spores will be useless after one repair.D.It poses potential risks to environment.34. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.The challenges of American infrastructure.B.The research on self-healing concrete.C.The process of cracking.D.The promotion of spores.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Danger of CracksB.The Aging of American InfrastructureC.The Most Powerful FungusD.Concrete Filling Its Own Cracks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。

They are paparazzi(狗仔队)－photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimedat taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture”. Violators（违反者）can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents say the law restricts photo-journalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son”.Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supp orters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Although some peop le might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication. Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean follo wing someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographers.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.8.Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A.Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.B.Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.C.Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.D.Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.9.Supporters of the new law believe that ____________ .A.privacy of famous people needs special protectionB.it prevents the media from getting worseC.it gives photographers a fair way to competeD.punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job10. Opponents of the new law are concerned that ____________ .A.some photographers will be wrongly accusedB.people will not be informed of important newsC.the First Amendment will be changedD.it will violate paparazzi’s privacy11.What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?A.ApprovingB. CriticalC. NeutralD. SkepticalDAs the temperature rises, sweaty humans are making a response that is further worsening the problem of climate change. At present, the world just has 1.6 billion air conditioning units, but these units use a surprising total of ten percent of all global electricity supply. While less than a third of families globally are so equipped, the most AC-addicted countries are Japan (in 91 percent of families), the US (90 percent) and South Korea(86 percent).New research by the International Energy Agency (IEA) guesses that the total number of AC units is likely to increase to over 5.6 billion by 2050－equal to ten new units being sold every second for more than 30 years－with sales driven particularly by India, China and Indonesia. This will make the use of air conditioning one of the world’s largest demands for energy.“Growing electricity demand for air conditioning is one of the most critical blind spots in today’s energy debate,” argues Faith Birol, executive dire ctor of the IEA. “With rising incomes, air conditioner ownership will skyrocket, especially in the developing world. While this will improve daily lives, it is quite necessary that efficiency performance be prioritized.”Birol and the IEA stress the need for new efficiency standards to ensure that consumers are at least buying units that require significantly less power to function, therefore decreasing the total energy demand. Variations on the traditional “vapor compression” technology, which has formed t he basis for AC units for more than acentury, may appear really important. A water-based system was recently developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which uses 40 percent less electricity and produces only one by-product: drinkable water.“Our cooling system can be tailored for all types of weather conditions, from wet climate in the tropics to dry climate in the deserts,” says associate professor Ernest Chua at NUS. “While it can be used for indoor living and commercial spa ces, it can also be easily used to provide air conditioning for blocks of buildings in an energy-efficient manner.”12 The author mentions the number of air conditioning units mainly to show their ____________.A.uneven distribution globallyB. popularity among peopleC. vital importance to humansD. high demand for electricity13. Which of the following statements may Faith Birol agree with?A. Air conditioners should be more energy-efficient.B. Air conditioners will be more and more expensive.C. People’s daily lives should be improved in various ways.D. People should use their air conditioners less.14. What do we know about the water-based system?A. It has caused much debate about its effectiveness.B. It’ll be a fundamental system for future air conditioners.C. It seems to be environmentally friendly.D. It appears different from the current technology.15. From what Ernest Chua says, we can infer that the new system ____________.A. has different effects in different placesB. can be applied to nearly all situationsC. can greatly meet people’s cooling demandD. will be brought into use in the near future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。

AWhat time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer.And if you don't know for sure，it's very likely that you can find out.There may be a watch on your wrist；there may be a clock on the wall，desk，or computer screen；or maybe you're riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard(仪表板)．Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby，your body keeps its own beat.Humans have an internal clock that regulates(调节)the beating of our heart，the pace of our breathing，the discharge(排出)of chemicals within our bloodstream，and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can't escape.Even if we ignore it，it's still going by，ticking away，second by second，minute by minute，hour by hour.So the main issue in using your time well is，“Who's in charge？〞We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy.Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time，you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student.Perhaps more importantly，the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies，the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become all slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day.Instead，the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time.Rather than letting the day go by，largely without our awareness，what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes. 1．You have a body clock________.A．if you have a watchB．if you have a clock on the wallC．though you don't have a timetableD．when you are riding，in a car2．The underlined word“ally〞in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is________.A．your slave and serves youB．your supporter and helps youC．under your control and obeys youD．under your influence and follows you3．The author intends to tell us that time________.A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC．should be well managed for our own interestD．should be saved for outside interests4．In the next part，the author would most probably discuss with you________.A．how to keep up with the timesB．how to make up for the lost timeC．how to have a good timeD．how to make good use of timeBWe were a very motley(混杂的)crowd of people who took the bus every day that summer 33 years ago.During the early morning ride from the suburb，we sat drowsily with our collars up to our ears，a cheerless and taciturn(沉默寡言的)bunch.One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the centre every morning.No one ever paid very much attention to him.Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver before he sat down.The driver nodded guardedly.The rest of us were silent.The next day，the old man boarded the bus energetically，smiled and said in a loud voice：“And a ve ry good morning to you all！〞Some of us looked up，amazed，and murmured“Good morning〞in reply.The following weeks we were more alert.Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide outofdate tie.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.The driver turned around smilingly and asked：“Have you got yourself a girlfriend，Charlie？〞We never got to know if his name really was Charlie，but he nodded shyly and said yes.Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.The summer went by when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop.When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that，we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully on holiday ter we were told the elderly gentleman was fine，but he hadn't been coming to the centre that week.One of his very close friends had died at the weekend.How silent we were the rest of the way to work!The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop，stooping(弓背)a bit more，a little bit more grey.Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in achurch.Even though no one talked about it，all those of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands5．From the first paragraph we can infer that the passengers________.A．had a cheerful trip every morningB．were not so easygoingC．seldom talked to each otherD．talked and laughed on the way6．How did the passengers feel when Charlie was not there the next day?A．Concerned. B．Pleased.C．Surprised. D．Disappointed.7．What could be the best title of the passage?A．Say“Hello〞to EveryoneB．Flowers on the BusC．Making Friends with OthersD．Feeling Pity for Others.CThere is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle.When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary，“I never saw a lovelier spot.〞And she didn't even go fishing.Scotland is not easily defined.In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes.When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light，the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold.As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy Castle，any frustration(烦恼)will float away as gently as the circling water.It's just you and purple，pink，white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony.If you are a new comer to fishing，learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun.For many，fishing is more than a sport；it is an art.Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing.Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland，the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains.Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1343metre top is a challenge.But it's not just what goes up that matters；what comes down is unique.More than 900 metres high，on the mountain's north face，lies an allimportant source of pure water.Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh〞or “water of lire〞；and it is the single most important ingredient(原料)in Scotland's best known drink：whisky. 8．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that________.A．the Queen is rich in tour experienceB．the Castle is a good place to go in ScotlandC．tasting whisky is better than going fishingD．1873 is a special year for the Queen9．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?A．By giving descriptions.B．By following time order.C．By analyzing causes.D．By making comparisons.10．What is Ben Nevis special for?A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.B．The beauty of its surroundings.C．The water from the mountain.D．The challenge up to its top.11．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.DNot all research begins with a plan.Some studies begin by accident.Meredith Schafer says that is what happened to her and Cynthia Sagers.Cynthia Sagers is a biology professor at the University of Arkansas.Meredith Schafer is a graduate student.They were traveling in the state of North Dakota on a project.They noticed pretty yellow flowers.They recognized them as canola(加拿大油菜)．Farmers grow canola for seeds to make cooking oil.But the canola plants they saw were not growing in farm fields.They were growing along the road.The researchers decided to test the plants.They had brought along special testing paper for the project they were working on.The results showed that the weedy canola plants contained genetic changes.If a plant is genetically modified(调整)，that means its genes have been changed to produce desired qualities.This summer，the researchers from Arkansas went back to North Dakota.This time they went on a road trip to find canola.They traveled more than 5 thousand kilometers.What they found，they say，was the first discovery in the United States of wild canola plants with modified genes.The scientists found canola plants in almost half of the places they investigated.They tested a total of 288 plants.They found that 80% of those plants contained genes from genetically engineered canola.Some crop plants are modified to resist damage from the chemicals that farmers use to kill weeds.There are 2 proteins that can give canola the ability to resist 2 commonly used weed killers.One protein gives resistance against glyphosate.The other protein gives resistance against glufosinate.12．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Canola's seeds can be made into cooking oil.B．Meredith Schafer is a graduate student.C．Meredith Schafer along with Cynthia Sagers studied the weedy canola plants according to their original plan.D．They found the weedy canola plants genetically modified.13．How many plants tested by the scientists contained genes from genetically engineered canola?A．About 58 plants. B．About 230 plants.C．288 plants. D．Unknown.14．Glyphosate and glufosinate are two kinds of________.A．weed killers B．proteinsC．canola plants D．genes15．Where can we most probably find this passage?A．In a fashion magazine. B．In science fiction.C．In a literature book. D．In a scientific journal.第二节〔共5个小题；每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

They are paparazzi(狗仔队)－photographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture〞. Violators〔违背者〕can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents say the law restricts photo-journalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, it’s free publicity. But when they’re not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son〞.Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair wayto keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities’ privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press〞. Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication. Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does ‘persistently’ mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?〞asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographers.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.8.Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A.Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.B.Paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.C.Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.D.Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.9.Supporters of the new law believe that ____________ .A.privacy of famous people needs special protectionB.it prevents the media from getting worseC.it gives photographers a fair way to competeD.punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job10. Opponents of the new law are concerned that ____________ .A.some photographers will be wrongly accusedB.people will not be informed of important newsC.the First Amendment will be changedD.it will violate paparazzi’s privacy11.What is the author’s attitude towards the new California law?A.ApprovingB. CriticalC. NeutralD. SkepticalDAs the temperature rises, sweaty humans are making a response that is further worsening the problem of climate change. At present, the world just has 1.6 billion air conditioning units, but these units use a surprising total of ten percent of all global electricity supply. While less than a third of families globally are so equipped, the most AC-addicted countries are Japan (in 91 percent of families), the US (90 percent) and South Korea(86 percent).New research by the International Energy Agency (IEA) guesses that the total number of AC units is likely to increase to over 5.6 billion by 2050－equal to ten new units being sold every second for more than 30 years－with sales driven particularly by India, China and Indonesia. This will make the use of air conditioning one of the world’s larg est demands for energy.“Growing electricity demand for air conditioning is one of the most critical blind spots in today’s energy debate,〞 argues Faith Birol, executive director of the IEA. “With rising incomes, air conditioner ownership will skyrocket, especially in the developing world. While this will improve daily lives, it is quite necessary that efficiency performance be prioritized.〞Birol and the IEA stress the need for new efficiency standards to ensure that consumers are at least buying units that require significantly less power to function, therefore decreasing the total energy demand. Variations on the traditional “vapor compression〞 technology, which has formed the basis for AC units for more than a century, may appear really important. A water-based system was recently developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which uses 40 percent less electricity and produces only one by-product: drinkable water.“Our cooling system can be tailored for all types of weather condi tions, from wet climate in the tropics to dry climate in the deserts,〞 says associate professor Ernest Chua at NUS. “While it can be used for indoor living and commercial spaces, it can also be easily used to provide air conditioning for blocks of buildings in an energy-efficient manner.〞12 The author mentions the number of air conditioning units mainly to show their ____________.A.uneven distribution globallyB. popularity among peopleC. vital importance to humansD. high demand for electricity13. Which of the following statements may Faith Birol agree with?A. Air conditioners should be more energy-efficient.B. Air conditioners will be more and more expensive.C. People’s daily lives should be improved in various ways.D. People should use their air conditioners less.14. What do we know about the water-based system?A. It has caused much debate about its effectiveness.B. It’ll be a fundamental system for future air conditioners.C. It seems to be environmentally friendly.D. It appears different from the current technology.15. From what Ernest Chua says, we can infer that the new system ____________.A. has different effects in different placesB. can be applied to nearly all situationsC. can greatly meet people’s cooling demandD. will be brought into use in the near future第二节(一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Guides will talk about the prices with parents.CWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因(jīyīn)构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Withoutknowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在(qiánzài)的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in thepast and surely could in the future.9. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion.D. To describe the conditions on Earth.10. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.11. The underlined word “spin-offs〞 in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions12. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup.B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.DIn every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace (领先(lǐnɡ xiān)), while the others follow their lead. Let's say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming (不得体的). This situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher(屠夫).Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "Gee, the crowd does it. "Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it your- self. Learn to say, " No".Develop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning some- thing you disagreed to, have the courage to bow(鞠躬) out mannerly. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.13. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Follow the Lead.B. Top Crowd.C. Being Yourself .D. Bright Red.14. The author doesn’t think it good wearing red sweaters if ________.A. the crowd does itB. you can’t afford themC. you don’t look good in redD. the situation isn’t safe15. According to the passage, people who follow the crowd ________.A. sometimes do things against their better judgmentB. make mistakes blindlyC. are willing to put their lives in dangerD. will in the end become pace-setters第二节〔一共5题；每一小(yī xiǎo)题2分，满分是10分〕It’s not just women who wear skirts. __16__ In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt.

To his 41 (puzzle), his three-year-old son was 42 (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as 43 (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.44 the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy 45 (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck.〞Then he asked, “ 46 when are my fingers going to grow back?〞The father went home and committed suicide.Think about this story 47 next time someone steps on your feet or you wish to take revenge.

AThree years ago when I was still in the university,I also worked at a restaurant.An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at therestaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers ( 同龄人 ), Mr. Filio held the record f or solving all the puzzlesin less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months andmonths, I did my best to beat him but failed.Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else.Everyon e cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said,“No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戏) set. I would have neverbeen able to afford one like tha t by myself. Then he said to me,“Kate, what doyou think is man’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn ’t it? should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime You are happy and that searching for that.Be thankful that you have found it.” I lo oked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having muchmoney.He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.1. We can learn from the text that Mr. Filio ______.A. was generous to young peopleB. was good at word puzzlesC. lived quite near the restaurantD. won a prize from the Philippine Star Newspaper2. The author got a gift because ______.A. Mr. Filio was thankful for her helpB. Mr. Filio was satisfied withher serviceC. she was the first person to beat Mr. FilioD. she was the new record keeper in the restaurant3. After she heard what Mr. Filio said, the author probably felt ______.A. amazedB. excitedC. touchedD. inspired4. What would be the best title of the text?A. Happiness is also a successB. Interest is the best teacherC. Scrabble makes a differenceD. His words change my lifeBWe all love our children and we all know how competitive the world is these days. What’s it going to be like when our children leave school? Will they have the skills they need to stay ahead of the competition?All children need two basic skills to succeed. They must be able to read and they must be able to write. And with so much information available to them these days,they must be able to read quickly and accurately. That’s why your children needto be able to speed-read.It ’s ironic ( 嘲讽的 ) that at this time of space- age technology, we’ve gone back to one of the earliest forms of mass communication — the written word. The Internet has introduced a revival (从头流行)of writing,and if you can’t keep up, you ’llbe left behind. You certainly don’t want your children to be left behind.You can help to make sure that your children are excellent writers—you can help them to learn how to use their language. Better still, you can learn with them!You and your children can spend time together in a worthwhile pursuit (事业) — learning how to write. Forget the theme parks, the computer games, the expensive movies and interesting sports. If you want your children to have treasured memories of time spent with you, learn together.For less than you would pay for tickets to a theme park, you can invest in yourchildren’s future—help them learn to write well with my six-part writing course.Don’t stand by while your child is left further and further behind.5.From the last two paragraphs, we can know the main purpose of thepassage is_______A.To encourage students to be better prepared for the future.B.To list the qualities children must have for their future success.C.To persuade parents to choose a writing course for their kids.D.To explain the difficult situation children have to face at present.6. In the author’s opinion, ______.A. speed- reading is the first step in a child’s formal educationB. children today waste too much time on games, movies and sportsC. children ’s success depends much on good skills in reading and writingD.writing helps people communicate more effectively in modern society7.

They will learn more quickly and accurately.B. They will not be affected by games and sports.C. It will encourage them to work for a higher pursuit.D. They will have good memories of time spent with parents.CTess was eight years old. Her little brother Andrew was very sick and theirparents were completely out of money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother,"Only a miracle can save him now."Tess took her money and made her way six blocks to Rexall's Drug Store."And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

So how much does a miracle cost?""We don't sell miracles here, little girl.I'm sorry but I can't help you," the chemist said, softening a little."Listen,I can help you." The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He asked Tess, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?""I don't know," Tess replied. "Mommy says he needs an operation.

The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing wellTess smiled.

A poor girl and a doctorDIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. Andeven if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That iswhat "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who triedto look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife toa very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand andhis wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momandand his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New YorkCity. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keepup with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and startedto write a series of short stories.He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses"came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are"Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep upwith the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.13.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.A.want to be as rich as their neighborsB.want others to know or to think that they are rich.C.don't want others to know they are richD.want to be happy14.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. live with many neighbors15.

会宁四中2016-2017学年度第一学期高三级第二次月考英语试卷（时间：100分钟;满分：120分）本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。
第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题, 每小题2分,满分30分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AMom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty. I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain — I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood sugar level.My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t ea t a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰岛素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.It’s a lot of work — and not a lot of fun — to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.1．The first paragraph is mainly about _____.A．who found the author had diabetesB．the author’s life before having diabetesC．how the author was found to have diabetesD．the author’s eating habits before having diabetes2．What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes?A．She stopped playing basketball in the gym.B．She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly.C．She stopped eating food with natural sugar.D．She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.3．What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Increase. B．Control. C．Absorb. D．Test.4．What’s the author’s attitude toward her having diabetes now?A．Worried. B．Frightened. C．negative. D．Positive.BAt present we will explain a very old saying that has had a great effect on rock-and-roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss（苔藓）”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.This proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the wo rld of rock-and-roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.Experts say it all started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Rolling Stone”．A British rock group is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rock-and-roll band”．In 1965, Bob Dylan released （发行）his song “Like a Rolling Stone”．It is one of his best known and most influential works.It is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. But now she is on her own, “with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”.In 1967, a young man named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”. The magazine reported on rock music and the popular cult ure that the music created. By 1971, “Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.5．All of them are musicians except ________．A．Jann Wenner B．Muddy Waters C．Elvis Presley D．Bob Dylan 6．Which person can be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb? A．A person who has a successful career.B．A person who always changes his jobs.C．A person who is out of work.D．A person who has no family.7．Who first used “rolling stone” as a name for music?A．Elvis Presley.

Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.12．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.B．Careless parents whose children are deep in love.C．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.D．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.13．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents. B．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression. C．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.D．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance. 14．What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A．Scared B．Disapproving. C．Confused D．Disinterested.15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Romance is a two edged sword for adults.B．Romance is good for young people.C．Parents should forbid their children’s loveD．Puppy love may bring young people depression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。

AWhen we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures （手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him.1. Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”.A. right and leftB. fast and slowC. hard and easyD. up and down2. If people want to say , they may shake their heads.A. “no”B. “yes”C. “words”D. “OK”3. If you can’t , you may talk with the help of gestures.A. write and readB. say or singC. hear and speakD. go or comeBGood afternoon，and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today，I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol (酒) in this country if you are under 18 years of age，nor may your friends buy it for you.Secondly，noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means，but please don’t make unnecessary noise，particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.Thirdly，crossing the road. Be careful！The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossings (人行横道) and do not take any chances when crossing the road.My next point is about litter (throwing away waste material in a public place)．It is an offence (违法行为) to drop litter in the street. When you have something to throw away，please put it in your pocket and take it home，or put it in a litter bin.Finally，as regards something，it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco (烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance，you should contact your local police station，who will be pleased to help you.Now，are there any questions?4．The main purpose of this speech would be to________.A．prepare people for international travelB．declare the laws of different kindsC．inform people of the punishment for breaking lawsD．give advice to travelers to the country5．How many laws are there discussed in the speech?A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.6．The underlined word “contact” in the seventh paragraph means________. A．keep in touch with B．join C．reportD．get in touch with7．From the speech we learn that________.A．in this country，if you are under 18 years of age，you may not buy alcohol，but your friend can buy it for youB．you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of age C．because the traffic moves on the left side of the road，you must use pedestrian crossings when crossing the roadD．you can’t make noise except at nightCTo see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal you’ve met online，or a business friend.You can have someone to talk to.Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t haveto ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.__________________________One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food. Of course，you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friend.Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for you.When you’re in a foreign land，you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don’t you find a travel companion now?Let’s find out how ...8. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce a travel company.B．To encourage us to have a travel partner.C．To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.D．To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.9．What’s the best title for the 3rd paragraph?A．You can have someone to share the expenses with.B．You can know the local culture well.C．You can enjoy food with your partner.D．You can save money by bargaining together.10．Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?A．Traveling alone is not fun.B．Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary.C．Many people fall in love when traveling.D．It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.11．The following paragraph will probably talk about________.A．how to get along with a travel partnerB．how travel can benefit peopleC．what we can learn from travelD．how to find a travel partnerDHobbs was an orphan(孤儿). He worked in a factory and every day he got a little money. Hard work changed him thin and weak. He wanted to borrow a lot of money to learn to paint pictures, but he did not think he could pay off the debts.One day the lawyer said to him, “One thousand dollars, and here is the money.” As Hobbs took the package of notes, he was very dumbfounded (惊呆的). He didn’t know where the money came from and how to spend it. He said to himself, “I could go to find a hotel and live like a rich man for a few days; or I give up my work in the factory and do what I’d like to do: painting pictures I could do that f or a few weeks, but what would I do after that? I should have lost my place of the factory and have no money to live on. If it were a little less money, I would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends.
