AAs we know, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great goo d to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, e specially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influenc ing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize t he celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lind say Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous tee n stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. M any kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenc ed by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily infl uenced because teenage years are the period when our person ality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways t o pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endor se(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities ar e forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot o f parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a ve ry powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s goo d that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happe ning. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teen s to determine what’s in ad what’s out.21. From the passage we can find Lindsay Lohan .A. lives an unhealthy lifestyleB. lives a rich and happy lifeC. doesn’t get any exerciseD. sets a good example for teenagers22 According to the writer, why are teenagers easily influenced by some TV shows?A. They are tired of school.B. Their celebrity idols appea r in many TV shows.C. They’re in their development period.D. They have nothing t o do in their spare time23 Many celebrities have to be on diet .A. to keep healthy to face competitionB. to survive under pressureC. to keep a slim sizeD. to satisfy th eir teenage fans24 What’s the title of the passage?A. Parents’ responsibilities.B. Advice on self-control.C. Bad influences of celebrities.D. Media’s bad inf luences.BThroughout history, gold has been a sign of purity, beauty and power. Calling something golden means it has great quality an d value. For example, the golden rule is possibly the world's mo st widespread moral rule. It says people should treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated. Every major relig ion has its own version of this idea.The golden ratio is found in art, architecture and nature. It describes a rectangle with a length about one and one-half times its width. Objects using this ratio in their design seem to please the eye more than others.Philosophers（哲学家） have their own golden idea. The golden mean says mode ration in all things is the best way to live one's life. It is an idea l inked to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Similar thoug hts exist in Buddhism and Confucianism.（哲学思想）Ancient Greek myths told of a time long ago when people lived i n peace and happiness. Poets called it the Golden Age. A gol den age now describes a historical period of great artistic, scien tific or economic progress. It can even recall a time of success and popularity for an industry. For example, the nineteen thirtie s and forties were called the Golden Age of Radio.You may have heard the proverb silence is golden. This mea ns silence is of great value. It is sometimes better to say nothin g than to speak.You might say your child was good as gold when he behaved well at school. British writer Charles Dickens used this express ion in eighteen forty-three. He was describing the child Tiny Tim in the book "A Chris tmas Carol."In nineteen thirty-seven, American playwright Clifford Odets wrote a play called " The Golden Boy." This expression describes a young man who has many good qualities and a bright future.You might tell someone you are golden when that person doe s something very well.Gold digger is another description. But this does not say som ething nice about a person. A gold digger is someone who see ks to marry a rich person because he or she is only interested i n that person's money.Maybe you like old songs from the nineteen fifties or sixties th at are still well known and popular today. These are called gold en oldies. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, an American tel evision comedy series told about four older women living in , . The Golden Girls often dealt with social issues in a funny way. Today, most older people look forward to reaching their golden years. This is when hard-working people can retire to a life of ease and fulfillment.25 .According to the “golden ratio”, which of the following objec ts in the most pleasant to see?26 .The article mainly tells us ___A .the value of gold B. the expressions with “gold”C .the history of gold industry D. the purity, beauty and power of gold27 .Which of the following statements is made out of place?A. The beauty of tolerance and kindness comes from the Conf ucianism philosophical thought ,such as Golden Mean.B. At the beginning of the twenty first century computer reache d its Golden Age.C. She only dates guys with money. She’s a Gold Digger.D. My grandfather is 65 and is looking forward to reaching his Golden Ages28 .What we can infer from the passage is that ___A. all the expressions in the article are positive descriptionB. the “golden mean” is an idea linked to the Ancient Greek ph ilowpher AristotleC. the “golden oldies” refers to the popular soon in the 1950s o r 60s which are not well-know todayD. in their golden yearw, older people can still work hard before their retireCAfter moving to the , immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to ch oose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to .The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being qu estioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. O nly 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did th e same.When their American identity was called into question during a f ollow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American d ishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, ove r more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Am ericans could participate in the study. Those who chose the mor e typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calori es, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Che ryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psycholo gy at the of . "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their live s, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the pr oblem. "In American society today, being American is associate d with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if th ey were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.29 According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.30 The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably m eans “_____”A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do31 According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American cul ture affects immigrants deeply32 Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eat ing habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean t o say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concer ning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain b ecause more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerat ed feelingsChoose silence instead of blurting out ‘in-the-moment’ feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in t he grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an u nkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your pi ece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to th eir own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confi dent in what you just said, and two, you respect the other perso n enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution becaus e the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her p roblems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that momen t.Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything mea ningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation b y pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s b est to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fo ol’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life where you will need t he power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and nee ds to be respected and appreciated.33 .The passage mainly tells us about ___A. when to stay silentB. why to stay silentC. how to stay silentD. whether or not to stay silent34 .What is the best to do during negotiation?A. Grasp every chance to say more than the otherB. Close your mouth and just listen to the otherC. Say what you could and draw a conclusionD .Speak out your own points and let the other speak out theirs35 What does the underlined word “elevate” most probably me an?start B. conclude C. interrupt D .cancel七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Jumping ropeJumping rope is a cheap and easily portable exercise that you c an do almost anywhere. This workout burns more calories per minute than any other workout.

Next door, in Room A114, the girls spent five minutes in Justin Anderson’s science class writing down everything they know about DNA. W hen the assigned time was up, asked the students to share some of what they noted down. “Nobody’s DNA is alike,” one girl s aid after raising her hand. “You get it from your parents,” said a nother.This is how some lessons are taught at James Gholson Mid dle School in ’s County: boys in one classroom, girls in another. Advocates argue that separating boys and girls removes distra ctions (分心) and sex prejudice in the classroom, taking the lead from exp ensive private schools and boarding schools that have relied on single-sex learning for generations. But opponents say there is little ev idence that such separation works, that it can be discriminatory (歧视) and that it doesn’t properly prepare students for a world that is mixed.Some experts say single-sex classes can break down sex stereotypes (定式), create opportunities for students and improve test scores. Kathy Couture, an education professor at Stetson University in and a board member of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education, said students tend to be more focused on thei r curriculum and less concerned about impressing or getting att ention from the opposite sex. She said girls tend to “dumb themselves down for boys” when they are together in math and scie nce classes.But a report published last week by the Psychological Bulletin — which reviewed 184 studies to compare the outcomes of lear ning in single-sex and mixed classrooms — raised questions about whether t here are any real advantages to single-sex classrooms.Janet Hyde, one of the report’s co-authors, said there was no evidence to support the argument th at boys do better orally or that girls improve in math and scienc e when in single-sex settings. What is more important is that separating students might not adequately prepare them for college and careers. “O ne of the major purposes of school is to prepare students for th e adult world, and that world is mixed,” Janet Hyde said. “I think we do harm to students by not preparing them for the adult wor ld.”61. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To show how boys and girls are taught separately.B. To show how the students behave in class.C. To show how the two lessons are different.D. To show how the class activities are organized.62. Why does teach students separately?A. Because single-sex classes are popular in .B. Because students may be more concentrated in single-sex classes.C. Because girls tend to look down upon boys in mixed classe s.D. Because it is a private and expensive school.63. According to Kathy Couture, what is the disadvantage of a mixed class?A. Students are not interested in their curriculums.B. Students may be disturbed by the opposite sex in their stu dy.C. Girls are often absent from math and science classes.D. Students have fewer chances to have tests.64. What is the point of Janet Hyde’s statement on single-sex classes?A. Single-sex classes do not improve boys’ speaking ability.B. Single-sex classes lead to worse academic performance.C. Single-sex classes harm the students in their future study and work.D. Single-sex classes do not help students’ physical development in their childhood .65. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Single-sex classes have the edge over mixed classes.B. In single-sex classes boys can learn languages better.C. Mixed classes have the obvious advantage over single-sex classesD. Effects of separated education remains to be assessed furt herCEnergy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesn’t it? If you t hink so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has b een the dream of American president for decades, and never m ore so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil pric e shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great rec ession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concept s that are rarely though through. What is it we want independen ce from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that o ld from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels c ause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast ar eas of the are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environm ental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy productio n in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade.

Fill in the numbered bla nks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Many weight loss programs seem attractive to people who are j ust trying to lose weight. However, for most people who are ove rweight, the results are so minimal (微小的) that they will give up long before achieving any realistic resu lts. It usually turns out that the programs are practically useless. You lose weight for a while, only to gain back more weight whe n you stop your weight loss program. This is because such prog rams are not natural, and that's why the "failure rate" is over 98 %. Isn't there a natural weight loss solution? Well, the only wayto lose weight naturally is the good old-fashioned way, which includes proper diet and frequent exercis e.Often, we eat far more than we'd actually need simply because we've been trained to clean our plates. By reducing portion size s, we can lose weight without changing the foods we eat. Try us ing a smaller plate, which will make portions look larger. When dining out, ask for a to-go (外卖) box before you start eating, and pack away half of your mea l for later.You can lose weight naturally by making sensible substitutions i n your cooking and meal choices. For example, try substituting l ow-fat salad dressings（调味品）; many taste just as good, if not better, as their hi-calorie cousins. When cooking, use fat-free cooking spray on your pans instead of butter or fat. You ca n easily preserve flavor while enjoying natural weight loss.A sure way of achieving natural weight loss is to increase the amount of exercise you get every day. However, this doesn't n ecessarily mean spending hours at the gym or in front of a weig ht loss video. Increase your exercise levels naturally by walking or biking short distances instead of driving, by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or by washing your car by hand insteadof running it through the automat. There are even exercises that you can do while sitting at your desk. All of these activities can burn extra calories without taking up too much time.Actually only natural weight loss can be permanent and it also may help to improve your overall fitness, and decrease your ris k of falling diseases caused by excess（额外的）weight, such as diabetes（糖尿病) and heart disease.Title: 71Ⅰ.

Answer the questions a ccording to the information given in the passage.A recent national Retail Federation Survey found that nearly 72 percent of Americans plan on celebrating Father's Day this year according to a report in the Orlando Business Journal.And shoppers expect to spend an average of $99. 65 this ye ar—more than two dollars more than they spent on Mother's Day. It is the first time in the 3-year-old survey for Father's Day spending to be higher than that on Mother's Day.Just under 45 percent of folks plan on giving Dad a card, 22 percent to take him out for dinner and 20 percent to buy clothes . Fifteen percent will give home improvement or gardening tools or appliances. About 14 percent are choosing gift certificates a nd 12 percent are handing Dad either music or books.Women will spend more than men. The average woman plans t o spend $101. 38 for Father's Day, while men will spend an ave rage $ 70. 89. That is because many women plan on buying for both their husbands and their own fathers.Those in the 25 to 44 age range will be the biggest spenders, with an average spending of $ 130.Dads are gaining popularity in terms of spending patterns by loved ones. In 2005, consumers planned to spend just $ 52. 30 on Father's Day.But the increased spending on gifts still leaves Dad with one bill to pay—the phone bill. Father's Day is traditionally the No.1 day of the y ear for collect phone calls（对方付费电话).Jack McMaster, AT&T product management director, said in anews release that year after year the trend is the same."It's probably been happening since Father's Day was first ce lebrated informally, some 70 years ago," McMaster said. Brenda Wall, a family psychologist in , explained that children r elate differently to parents based on their gender and roles in th e family."We've always looked to Mom for love and care." Wall said "But when we look to Dad, it's usually something that relates to pow er, business, or money."81. How will 22 percent of Americans celebrate Father's Day?

I' m not a football commentator (评论员), though --just an English teacher in Japan.I came to Japan two years ago, and didn' t think I would stay , but has that effect on you. People often end up living here lon ger than they planned. I think it' s best to teach, in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a go ldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in , of course, whic h is good for tile nightlife factor. But I' d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.I teach English privately, which means I' m my own boss. If y ou want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doi ng a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much bett er for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to li ve on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.The schools are reluctant to take time off——even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.56. From the passage we know in the writer likes to live in ____ ____.A. B. a small townC. a city of middle sizeD. a big city57. According to the writer, one had better ________ first to do p rivate teaching better.A. take a TEFL courseB. decide his or her own lessonsC. find studentsD. build up a full schedule58. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies th at ________.A. there are many foreigners inB. Japan is good for nightlifeC. they can teach English privately inD. has something more attractive than expected59. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probabl y mean ________.A. kindB. unwillingC. freeD. carelessBWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understa nd why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to chee r me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe cryin g and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as la ughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our e motional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent ofwomen and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying. Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agre e that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friend ly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tea rs also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn abo ut our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with the m.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering can be bad for physical health, Studi es have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to hi gh blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural and healthy emotional response.60. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.61. It can be inferred from the text that ______.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. crying does more good to health than laughingC. crying and laughing play the same rolesD. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health62. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.63. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD. A New Scientific DiscoveryCA study of English learning problems was carried out among a t otal of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students consid ered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficultties in writing papers t hat they were now expected to hand in. remained as a significa nt problem.The information gained helped us in determining where specialattention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation ,w e considered it important to note what seemed to encourage int erest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of gr ammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help becau se it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or incr easing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed langua ge needs of the students.64．What is the text mainly about?A．Foreign students have more problems.B．There are many ways to improve English.C．Teaching should meet students’ needs.D．English learning problems should be studied again.65．Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students __ _________.A．had to write their papers B．became better at spea kingC．became less interested in reading D．had fewer proble ms with listening66．We may infer from the last two paragraphs that __________ _.A．different teaching methods should be usedB．grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging C．English courses are necessary for foreign students D．teaching content should be changed halfway67．The word “it” underlined in the last paragraph refers to “___ ________”.A．re-think B．activity C．motivation D．timetable DWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Foo twear Museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by e veryone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.68. Where would you find a famous singer's shoes?A Room 2. B. Room1.C. Room3.D. The Footwear Library.69. All exhibits in each room .A. share the same themeB. have the same shapeC. are made of the same materialD. belong to the same social class70. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.B. Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.C. Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data.D. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.71. The purpose of the text is to get more people to .A. do researchB. design shoesC. visit the museumD. follow celebritiesEMore men are finding their calling as nurses.A new study from the United States Census Bureau reports the number of male nurses has doubled since the 1970s.Back then ，about 2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new stud y，which tracked data through 2011，finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United States—about 330,000 men in total. Recent years of shortages have le d to increased efforts，according to the report，which included recruiting men into the field.Men，in fact，had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because n ursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court r uled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities mak e this field attractive，offering stability even during recessions，”wrote the report's aut hor，Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And becaus e of high demand，nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists，which is the highest paid nursing occupation，and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licen sed vocational nurses，the lowest paid types of nursing. Nurse anesthetists are require d to get graduate education，and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recov ering from anesthesia.Licensed practical and licensed vocatio nal nurses provide patients with care and may work under the s upervision of a registered nurse. Registered nurses assess pati ents' health problems and needs, develop and carry out nursing care plans，maintain medical records，and administer care. For all types of nursing，men earned，on average，$ 60,700 per year，while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations，men outearn women，”wrote Landivar.72．Which of the following is true about nurses in the in the 19 70s?A．The number of male nurses doubled. B．About 9.6%of employed nurses were men.C．There were about 330,000 male nurses. D．About 2.7% of registered nurses were men.73．The underlined word“recruiting” in Paragraph 2 probably means“________”．A．helping people to get used to B．asking people to joi n inC．ordering people to learn D．inspiring people to dev ote74．Why are more men willing to become nurses in the ? A．The economy is in bad condition. B．More people are out of employment.C．It's easier to get employed and well paid. D．It is promising to go to nursing schools.75．According to the text，male nurses are more likely to________.A．become licensed practical nurses B．get the highest paid nursing occupation C．graduate from nursing schools D ．devote themselves to work第二卷第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）There is a kind of shopping that is called compulsive（强迫性的） shopping. Compulsive shopping is usually described as ou t of control and not reasonable.How can we know whether we are one of compulsive shoppers? Compulsive shoppers go out and buy things much more often than other people do.They often buy things they do not need.M any times they will spend over their budget limits and get into d eep financial trouble.While someone else will think many times i f they can afford this or that thing，compulsive shoppers will have no awareness of the boundaries of a budget.They also often hide the things they have bought in order not to be blamed by other family members.They often ref use to admit their problem and cover up their debts with cheat. Compulsive shopping usually occurs when a person feels sad ，lonely or angry. Shopping will not guarantee more love，or cure the hurts，regrets，stress，and the problems of everyday life. Just the opposite, it eventuall y may make these feelings worse because of the increased fina ncial problems the person has got from this addiction. Some fa milies even lead to a divorce as compulsive shoppers spend a l ot of time away from home.Treating a shopping addiction requires various approaches.The best thing to start with is to recognize the problem by compulsi ve shoppers themselves. First of all，don’t use their credit cards,and instead,start paying by cash. It might be useful to make a shopping list in order to buy strictly w hat is needed.And if there is a chance to get attracted, it mighthelp to have just some small money and leave the wallet at ho me.It is also good to ask family and friends for support.And if aft er all these people still feel out of control，then it is recommended to seek professional advice or a selfhel p group to deal with this problem.第二节：书面表达（满分25分）假如你是李华，你和你的美国笔友David约好这个寒假你将去美国看望他，并给他带一些具有中国特色的物产，比如剪纸，京剧脸谱等。

A. reminding B. remembering C. recalling D. reformingSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Not many people know about the clouded leopard. Even scientists don’t know much about the animal in the wild because it is so private. We do know that the clouded leopard isn’t actually a leopard. It is a species of its own. However, it does have spots like a leopard. They help it blend into the background in the forest.What else do we know about the cat? It is one of the best climbers of all wild cats. This skill is clearly imprinted in the kittens early on by their mothers and by instinct. In the wild, the cat lives in the tropical rain forests of Asia. It hunts small animals, such as squirrels and monkeys. It is listed on the United States Endangered Species Act. This protects it from being hunted. Scientists have speculated that the wild population is getting smaller, but no actual numbers are available.into extinction.The Clouded Leopard Project has recently begun a conservation effort in Thailand. It is a natural home of the clouded leopard. Funds will be given to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo to help with the breeding of these cats. Part of the money also will help save the habitat of the wild cats. People will work to monitor these wild cats. They will be photographed instead of being sedated, or drugged, to be tagged（加标签）. Sedating clouded leopards could cause the cats’ bodies to lose too much water, or worse.The project has had some great successes in the last few years. Two cubs were born in the United States, and two were born in Thailand. Members of the Clouded Leopard Project hope the urge to protect such species will become embedded in people’s minds. They sponsor several education programs at zoos. They also sponsor programs to directly help the cats. Through their work they ultimately will increase the population of this species.65. What made a clouded leopard not easy to find in the forest?A. Spots like a leopard.B. A species of its own.C. Best climbing skills.D. Extinction of such animals.66. _____ is not included in the Clouded Leopard Project?A. Breeding clouded leopards in zoos.B. Monitoring the cats by labeling them.C. Starting educational programs at zoos.D. Saving the cat’s natur al habitat.67. The underlined word “embedded” means _____.A. focusedB. rootedC. determinedD. talented68. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Clouded leopard is a rare kind of leopard with nice spots.B. Lack of food in the wild makes the survival of the cats more difficult.C. The Clouded Leopard Project aims at increasing the population of the cat.D. Observing clouded leopards’ behavior protects the cats from being hunted.(B)(C)With greenhouse gas emissions（排放）hitting record levels and passing climate scientist's worst predictions, a new group of Chinese activists is making its voice heard at the United Nations climate talks, the COP17, which was held in Durban, South Africa.The delegation of independent Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) believes that civil society must play a bigger role in the global climate crisis. C Plus is the name given to the project launched by 42 Chinese NGOs, calling for domestic and global action to fight climate change. And they think the best way of demanding governments' action is to take action by themselves. The message is clear: climate action is too important and too urgent. It can't wait. The top-down process of negotiations that we are seeing at the UN is too slow.C Plus has three components, which together explain its name. C Plus stands for: Beyond Commitment. This means that NGOs must put pressure on their governments to achieve targets that are beyond those that have been officially stated. Second is Beyond China -- in other words, NGOs outside and inside of China together must strive to influence their respective governments to take action. Finally, Beyond Climate. The project targets not just carbon reduction but othergovernment's task of environment responsibility and raising public awareness in environment protection.And NGOs can claim some notable successes. NGOs sponsored “26-degree air conditioning office”among the public, which later became a government regulation. A group of Chinese citizens organized together and stopped the construction of a dangerous chemical plant in Xiamen.In total, there are 3,539 environment NGOs in China, in which 55.2 percent now have their own offices, and 26 percent have fixed source of investment. However, most environment NGOs still face problems including difficulty in raising money, shortage in personnel and weak organization ability in their development process.In Durban, Chinese NGOs have arrived as a team and are prepared to state their demands.72. The passage is mainly about _____.A. Durban climate change conferenceB. environment NGOs in ChinaC. C plus project launched by NGOsD. achievements of NGOs73. Which of the following is true about the C Plus?A. It is an organization devoted to controlling the greenhouse gas emission.B. It is a program aiming at influencing government to take action to protect environment.C. It is a project designed by the government to unite NGOs inside and outside China.D. It is a statement calling for public awareness in environment protection.74. Most environment NGOs don’t lack _____.A. financial supportB. human resourcesC. development goalsD. organizational skills75. What can be inferred from the passage about the NGOs?A. They once pushed the government to make a regulation concerning office temperature.B. They pushed forward the slow negotiations by adopting the top-down style.C. They were directly involved in making environment-related policies.D. They successfully pressurized the government to achieve the unofficially stated targets. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachAutism is a disorder of early development that causes severe problems in thinking, communicating with others, and feeling a part of the outside world. Taken from the Greek word autos meaning “alone,” autism prevents children from developing normal social relationships, even with their parents.Not all autistic infants and children are alike; in fact, there is no single typical clinical picture of the disorder. However, certain types of behavior are noted in a majority of autistic children. Autistic infants will not cuddle, and they do not like to be picked up. The usual things that children do to imitate adults, such as waving goodbye, are not observed in autistic children. Instead, autistic children very often repeat such movements as flicking a hand, twisting an arm or leg, or banging the head over and over. Strange gestures and distorted facial expressions are common.Language develops slowly, if at all. Some autistic children remain totally silent, while others merely repeat words they hear or communicate by gestures. They have little or no interest in making friends. They smile rarely, if ever, and will avoid making eye contact. Unlike normal children, they tend to fixate on a single object or task, such as spinning the wheels on a toy car over and over.At one time autism was blamed on bad parenting. Now itis believed to be caused by abnormalities in the brain. Several possible causes of these abnormalities have been proposed: an illness the mother suffered during her pregnancy; too little oxygen at the time of birth; or possiblyan abnormal gene. In some cases, X rays have revealed abnormalities in the structure of the brain itself. There is no way to diagnose autism apart from observing the child's behavior closely over a period of time.Although some patient-tailored programs can help children function better, the life of these children is generally hard to predict. Some will remain severely impaired throughout their lives. A majority always will depend heavily on support from relatives and professional caregivers, and may require special living arrangements and close supervision. However, progressive changes in the treatment of these children have enabled about one in six to live independently and work productively. What’s more, the intelligence level of the child partly affects the ability to function.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. If you have been following the news you will know that the world’s population recently reached seven billion – probably on 31st October.The statistics concerning human population growth are astonishing. It was only 12 years ago, in 1999, that the world’s population reached six billion. In 1969 there were 3.5 billion people on the planet, which is to say our numbers have doubled in only 42 years. A century ago, in 1911, there were only 1.8 billion of us: 26% of today’s total.As for future population growth, it seems there will probably be eight billion people by 2030 and nine billion by around 2050. After that, predictions vary: many experts think the total will rise more slowly, perhaps reaching ten billion by the end of the century; but a few believe the fast rise might continue, leading to a global population of as many as 15 billion by 2100. There are big differences between rates of population growth around the world. The fastest rates are generally in the world’s poorer countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa, while the populations of rich countries are mostly growing much more slowly, or even shrinking in a few cases. (Germany and Japan, for example, will have smaller populations in 2050 than they do now.) This fact explains another interesting statistic: in 1900 Europe contained around 25% of the world’s people, but in 2050 it will have less than 10%.There are many reasons for fast population growth, but the most significant include medical advances and generally improved standards of living in poor countries, which mean fewer deaths from diseases or from malnutrition. Indeed, average life expectancy across the world has risen 20 years since the 1950s, from 48 to 68, and the biggest rises have been in poor countries.Some people already talk of a crisis of overpopulation, expecting there to be wars over access to natural resources and warning that, because those resources are limited, it is impossible for seven billion people (let alone nine or ten) to have the kind of high-consumption lifestyles that people in the world’s richer countries currently enjoy. Others, however, believe the planet can accommodate another two or three billion humans without a social or environmental disaster.We can only hope the optimists will be proved right.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)81. When was the world’s population half of what it is now?82. There seems to be a connection between a country’s rates of population and_________________________________________.83. What contributed to the fast population growth?84. Some people predicted that the conflict between _______________________ may lead towars.第II卷（共45分）I．Translation （20%）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 是到了我们为国家承担责任的时候了。

高中英语真题：2015届高三上学期期末考试试卷试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.London has become a cycle-friendly zone after the launch (启动) of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at docking stations (系泊系统) in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go, for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the scheme, are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease traffic jams in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London has been “filled withthousands of gleaming (闪闪发光的) machines that will transform the look and feel of our street and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However, there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not registered.Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they would not charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other peop le have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments, the green-thinking London Mayor still says with certainty, “My crusade for the capital to become the great est big cycling city in the world has taken a great pedal-powered push forwards.”21. What is the aim of the new bike hire scheme in London?A. To promote the bicycle industry in London.B. To make London seem more friendly.C. To reduce the air pollution in LondonD. To relieve the traffic problem in London.22. What is Not the problem happening since the scheme was carried out?A. People couldn’t find the registered bicycles.B. Some people couldn’t dock bikes properly.C. Docking station is not enough at all.D. The charges for hiring bikes are too high.23. What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A. Difficulties in carrying out a plan.B. Criticism from all the people.C. Tooth decays or other tooth diseases.D. Quarrels from both sides.24. London Mayor’s attitude towards the new bike hire scheme is probably__________.A. doubtfulB. optimisticC. indifferentD. criticallions of sports lovers are still thinking about one thing----the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia. Close to 2900 men and women competed in the 2014 Winter Games about a month ago.The Olympics brought a lot of attention to Sochi, a city on the Black Sea, which is a popular area for vacation travelers. The area is known for its mild winters.At least $50 billion was spent on the 2014 Winter Games, making it the costliest Olympics in history. Seven billion dollars was spent on the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada. Olympic officials chose Sochi to host the 2014 games almost seven years ago. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the games would cost about $13 billion. Yet the actual expenses exceeded his estimate. So where did all the money go?Some observers say the high cost is partly the result of security measures. Brian Jenkins, a terrorism expert from the RAND Corporation, gave the following explanation. There were anywhere between 70,000 and 100, 000 policemen and military troops deployed around the city.The main threat came from separatist and Islamist groups from the North Caucasus, especially from Chechnya and Dagestan. One group claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings in Volgograd last December. The attacks killed more than 30 people. The city is only about 600 kilometers away from Sochi.Bruce Hoffman is a terrorism expert from Georgetown University in Washington DC. He says the increased security made Sochi a difficult targetfor terrorists.It is thought that the terrorists' intention was to make life difficult for the Russians and to create some sort of incident that would take away the enjoyment.The last Olympians from around the world on Russian soil were in 1980. That was a year after Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan. More than sixty countries didn’t take part in the Moscow Summer Games to show th eir anger.25. According to the passage, why did the Sochi Winter Olympics cost so much?A. Because it was held at an area popular for vacation travelers.B. Because the Russian government wanted to make it the best ever held.C. Because security measures at Sochi were stricter than before.D. Because the original plan was made 7 years before.26. It can be known from the passage that Bruce Hoffman was .A. a terrorism expert from the USAB. the writer who wrote this articleC. an athlete who competed in SochiD. a terrorism expert from RAND Corporation27. Which of the following is false?A. Sochi Olympics cost about 4 times as estimated.B. Next winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver.C. Many countries refused to attend the 1980 Olympics.D. Security is often a problem in international sport games.28. The terrorists might have attacked Sochi Olympics because .A. they wanted to make trouble for the RussiansB. they thought Russia shouldn't spend so much on sportC. they thought Putin was not a nice presidentD. they were not interested in winter sports3.When Jane put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the firstreaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.’’ “Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?”The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used tothe conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.29. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to_____________.A. express his views on homeschoolingB. explain what homeschooling isC. share his ways of teaching his childrenD. promote homeschooling30. What is the biggest advantage of homeschooled children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can socialize better.D. They will know how to arrange time.31. What do we know about homeschooled children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have mo re spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activitiesD. They can’t gain enough knowledge.32. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of time.C. By making comparisons.D. By presenting data.4.There is an agreement that we are depriving (剥夺) this current generation of young kids a chance to do what they are not only equipped to do，but need to do一take some risks．And we’re not talking about unimportant ones，either．Kids need to learn how to handle “dangerous” things like power tools，make fires，and have the benefits that occur from “playing with knives”．Hanna Rosin focuses on some of the misguided reasons we are raising “The Overprotected Kid” in the Atlantic．She says our concerns with kids’ safety go beyond the actual risks．I agree with this new opinion. For many kids growing up today，there are fewer and fewer opportunities to practice risk taking．Risk taking is animportant skill every kid needs to learn，how to do something that they are a little seared of doing because they h aven’t done it before．Part of the reason for “Overprotection” is certainly the parental fear. This is certainly evident in terms of the physical environment．I claim that much of the parental concern isn’t driven by．fear of injury—it’s more about concern with success．“Play” may be in fact less dangerous than our structured sports--yet we focus more on the risk because we don’t see the benefit．And this broader concern with success is not limited to the playground or sports field．“Overprotec tion" certainly happens in the social and academic fields as well，as phrases like “helicopter parent” have become mainstream．There is plenty of social and academic risk taking that can also be prevented because of the perception of risk．33. According to paragraph 1, the author thinks today’s children______A. aren’t as happy as their parentsB. ignore the benefits from taking risksC. live an overprotected life due to parental careD. hate to take some risks for their development34. Which of the following would Hanna Rosin agree with?A. Not all kids can play on the playground alone．B. The review of the statistics details the danger of injury．C. Parents should take care of the kids in case they are lost．D. Parents’ concerns with kids’ safety aren’t actually necessary mostly．35. Which of the following are “helicopter parents” according to the passage?A. those who help their children take responsibility for their own actionB. Those who find out the important elements of a healthy developmentC. those who give advice on how to find their own sense of creativityD. Those who offer any help whenever their children are in need5.With the development of society，it is common that many people arerushing all the way and all day，tired and subhealthy (亚健康)．36 She described all the things she had to do—one was to make her bed—from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work．I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks．She was shocked，probably thinking I’d been brought up by wolves in a forest．37 Two weeks later she went into my office merrily．She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years—and nothing bad had happened．“And you know what?” she said．“I don’t dry my dishes anymore，either．”38 One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before．The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect．This story shows an important principle about managing time：No one can do it a11．Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs(利弊权衡)．The problem is that many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last．They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves．39So what is the solution? There’s an easy way．Decide what you want in your life，and put that first．On a daily basis，that should include regular meals，enough sleep and time with your family．Exercise，leisure，friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life．40 The choice is yours：whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life．Take a nap．Take a walk．Take time to play the piano．Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office．Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers．Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos．A．Most people do not take time to relax themselves．B．The point is to do something for yourself every day．C．A patient came to see me about the stress in her life．D．This woman had made two major breakthroughs．E．Above all，you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly．F．They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own．G．However，she went along with my idea．二、完型填空(共1题)1.If you lose something important, you are sure to desire to get it back.

suddenly came to life and tried to destroy the world?If you want to find out then you’d better watch the new movie,The Mummy：Tomb of the Dragon Emperor(《木乃伊III：龙帝之墓》)．Thousands of years ago，China’s ruthless Dragon Emperor (played by Jet Li)had plans to take over the world．But he was tricked，‘a1ong with his 10，000 soldiers，’by a witch(Michelle Yeoh)and was forced to spend the rest of life trapped inside clay as a silent terracotta army．The army was long forgotten for many，many years.That is until Alex O’Connell(Luke Ford)discovers them．The young archaeologist is doing work in China when he is tricked into awakening the Han Emperor from his sleep．After sleeping for 2，000 years the Dragon Emperor understandably wants to make up for lost time．He starts trying to enslave the people of Earth．This is all Alex’s fault．So,what is a boy to do when he gets in trouble?Well,call his parents of course．Alex’s father,explorer Rick O’Connell(Brendan Frazier)，knows a few things about fighting the undead．In the first two films in The Mummy series，0’Connell fought ancient warriors(战士)in Egypt and the Middle East．But now he needs to help his son in China．He brings along his wife，Evelyn(Maria Bello)and her brother，Jonathan(John：Hannah)who have all been with him on other adventures．The battle between good and evil(邪恶的)takes place in an adventure that races from the hidden,tombs of ancient China high into the cold Himalayas．Will the O’Connell family be able to save the world one final time or will the ancient Chinese emperor at last conquer (征服)all?The only way to find out is to go to Xi’an and keep an eye on those terracotta soldiers．Or you can just watch the movie 12 1．After woken up Dragon Emperor Wants to______.A．think over the rest of his lifeB．revenge himself on his enemyC．rule all over the worldD. picture how to build his country．22．What can we know about Rick O’Connell according to the passage?A．He is a brave soldier．B．He often fights against the undead.C．He is a good archaeologist．D．He has got through many situations23．Where do you think this passage probably come from?A．Advertising board B．Film JournalC．Textbook D．NewspaperBNow 23 ,Ye Dong earned his diploma in June 2014.But he has barely left the campus．He still eats in the canteens and studies in the classrooms.Living close is convenient and familiar，he said．Around almost every college and university in China are cheap apartments and bungalows for rent，where lots of graduates like Ye live．They live and look like enrolled students．but they aren’t．Such kind of graduates is called“school—drifters”．It became a popular search keyword and triggered wide media coverage and further academic research．“The number is increasing over the years．A simple reason is that each year the number of graduates rises，while the employment rate remains basically the same．A large portion of the unemployed become school—drifters．Some previously employed also come back after a short，unsatisfying，work experience，”according to Hu Jiewang，a sociology professor at Jiaying University in Guangdong province．Ye sees himself as a school—drifter．He said the real world is different from his ideal．He landed a job as a production assistant in a local jewelry company in March last year but quit two months later．“The 2，400一yuan($360)a month salary was high among my classmates，but the job was too tiring．I had only one day off every week and the working hours were too irregular，”he said．“Entering society made me feel hollow．”Hu said most of the school—drifters aim to enter grad sch001．Some hope to find a betterjob；some want to stay in big cities；and some are simply fearful of the intensely competitive job market．“Living on school resources，”Hu said，“is a way of cutting living costs．But they do have some resource conflict with currently enrolled students．’’Why don’t drifters return home?“From ancient times the Chinese have had the notion that ‘going out’and‘going to colleges’were good.Anybody coming back home without achievements is a loser，”Hu said．After graduation and entering the society，many graduates felt lost．As a result，the number who stayed in school—for further education，for better opportunities，or for the comfort—increased．24．“School—drifters’’ are formed partly because______. ．A．students like the university life and the campusB．students don’t like to go out for a jobC．the number of graduate and unemployed workers is increasingD．the society requires them to do so before making their fortune25．Why does Ye abandon his job in a local jewelry company?A．The salary offered is far from his satisfaction．B．He isn’t pleased with the job in a local jewelry company．C．He thinks his classmates haven’t found one．D．The jewelry company turns him down．26．As“school—drifters”,they can take the advantage of school resources_____A．to reduce their expensesB．to make more friendsC．to decrease pressuresD．to enlarge their knowledge27．Through this passage the author wants to tell us_____.A．an increasing number of school—driftersB．a social conflict in the campusC．an effective way to deal with school—driftersD．a new social phenomenonCThe 18—meter—tall rubber duck on display in Beijing since September has attracted increasing numbers of visitors to the capital from around the country．The creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman will bid farewell to the capital from Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace on Sunday．Li Linji，deputy head of the palace，one of two parks where the duck has been displayed in the city，said on Thursday it has clearly increased the number of visitors from around China．More than 666，000 people rushed to the Summer Palace during the seven—day National Day holiday starting on Oct 1，with admission ticket sales exceeding 200 million yuan($3．3 million)，Li said．Some 133，000 visitors flock、ed to the venue on Oct 4 alone．“It’s been very popular in Beijing，’’Hofman said at a news conference，adding that the duck reminds people of childhood and happiness．It made its debut in the city on Sept 6 at the International Garden Expo Park before moving to the Summer Palace on Sept 23．The Rubber Duck exhibition‘was part of activities announcing Beijing Design Week，which ran from Sept 26 to Oct 3．Before arriving in Beijing，the giant duck was on display in 1 3 cities in nine countries．Data from the Beijing Design Week organizing committee show that 30，000 small rubber ducks so1d out during the National Day holiday．The committee has come up with an additional 20，000 that are expected to sell out before their giant counterpart leave Beijing．Imitations of the giant duck have also been on sale in parks and 0nline．On Thursday，three days before the giant duck’s departure，many vendors were still selling copies outside the Summer Palace .Many tourists were taking pictures of the duck while holding the imitations．Before the duck arrived in the city，a replica(复制品)wearing a green Vest and accompanied by seven big duck eggs appeared in the city’s Yuyuantan Park．Cities including Hangzhou，Chongqing，Wuhan，Shenyang and Wuxi have also reported the appearance of imitation duck products since May．28．From the text

高中英语真题：2015届高三上学期期中考试试卷试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him.Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said th ere weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his ideaaccepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide range s.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child.21. When Paul was a boy, _______.A. he had decided never to leave his hometownB. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC. he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area22. Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB. he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC. he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing23. W hat does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.24. The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because_______.A. they realized the importance of environmental protectionB. what Paul was doing moved themC. Paul persuaded them to help himD. they had legal pressure2.Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete,well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.25. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D. The school committee completely influences students’attitude towards the arts.27. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school28. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?3. For more than 40 years, scientists have sought to learn how wellhuman beings can adapt to long periods in space. The International Space Station continues to provide valuable knowledge about spaceflight. But an earlier space station, Skylab, helped make the current space project possible.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sang aboard the International Space Station on May 12, 2013. His music video has become extremely popular. The astronaut played his own version of David Bowie’s so ng Space Oddity. He performed while floating weightlessly, with images of planet earth and space appearing in the window behind him.Chris Hadfield recently returned home after nearly five months on the space station. For him, the long flight produced a hit video on YouTube and no major physical problems. But 40 years ago, scientists did not know how humans would react to long-term spaceflight. To find out, NASA, the American space agency, launched Skylab in May, 1973. Over nearly a year, three teams of astronauts visited Skylab for stays of between 28 to 84 days. They learned how people react to extended periods in space.Gerald Carr commanded Skylab 4. He spoke at a NASA event marking the 40th anniversary of Skylab’s launch. He s aid that the loss of the body’s muscle mass was a main concern. Astronauts on Skylab used exercise equipment to stay strong. The astronauts spent their workdays carrying out experiments, including biomedical (生物医学的) research.Marshall Porterfie ld is the director of NASA’s Space Life and Physical Sciences Division. He says the Skylab astronauts’ understanding of their own ability to deal with long-term spaceflight continues to help current astronauts. NASA says the next step for life away from Earth is a year-longspace station mission, set for 2015.29. Why was Chris Hadfield’s song so special?A. It was performed in space.B. It was created by an astronaut.C. It was a very familiar song.D. It was first sung by a famous singer.30. Which of the following best describes the physical condition of Chris Hadfield after his return?A. Worse.B. Better.C. Normal.D. Weaker.31. For what purpose did NASA launch Skylab?A. To research on whether human beings could stay in space.B. To gather up information on setting up a space station.C. To study the changes in the body when staying long in space.D. To find out the possibility of doing experiments in space.32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Skylab is still in use to explore the space.B. The research results on Skylab are still valuable.C. Skylab is more advanced than the International Space Station.D. The Skylab astronauts made great contributions to biomedical research.4.Suppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive abachelor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college may pay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.33. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students in community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.5.36 The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.37 That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. 38People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. 39 And we cannot have an army without paying for it.40 We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.A. Why must we pay taxes?C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled.E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.二、完型填空(共1题)1.Starbucks is the biggest coffee shop network in the world with more than 15,000 shops in 44 countries. It was first 41 in Seattle, Washington in 1971 by three people with just a 42 shop that sold selected coffee beans. People 43 the selected coffee beans and ground (碾碎) them in the shop or carried them home. The 44 of Starbucks at the time was to sell quality coffee beans so that consumers could 45 coffee in their own houses.Just after 1987 Starbucks began to show significant 46 after their brand was bought by a former employee of Starbucks, Howard Schultz. He joined Starbucks in 1982 and his 47 to Milan changed his ideas about the coffee shop. Italy, a country that was famous for their coffee consuming habits, inspired Howard to bring these Italian-style coffee shops to theStarbucks because he believed the business of Starbucks should 50 the same. That is, they should 51 selected coffee beans, and not an Italian-style coffee shop.After 52 Starbucks in 1985, Howard Schultz set up his own shop 53 the name of ⅡGiomale. This name 54 was not too good.

AIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Y our cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.21．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving DayC．Don't forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well?22．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 23．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A．show that she was a kind-hearted ladyB ．remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC ．leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD ．prove that she had understood what meant being rich24．It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A ．how much money you have madeB ．what attitude you have had towards lifeC ．the way you help othersD ．your social relationshipB25. What you have just read is a _______.A. noteB. reportC. schedule 26. What is going to take place on 2 February, 2013? A. A party for close friends to meet and have fun. B.

It's unnecessary to take soft drinks with you.C. Free digital cameras are provided for everybody.D. Festival food will be served without extra charge.CThe drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the thi ngs out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand.Back home, without ev en looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.” In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him for the first time he had ever really seen his mother.29. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?A. “Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”B. “I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”C. “You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”D. “Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”30. What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?A. Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.B. Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.C. Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.D. Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.31. After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.A. feel ashamed of her motherB. change his attitudes towards lifeC. learn to live an independent lifeD. hate Mr. Carr for hurting her motherDPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happe ning. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by defaul t (默认)to be shared with everyone on theInternet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the sen ator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.32. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.33. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D. They care very little about their personal information.34. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connecti onD. To expand its business.35. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。
