广东仲元中学2015学年第一学期期末考试高二年级英语（考试时间120分钟满分150分）第一部分阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分,满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a tota l stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying, “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．The kindness of strangers B．Valuable friendshipC．Two special experiences D．Helping others is worthwhile 2．According to the passage, the man in white ________.A．was the author’s friend B．had a big meal in the restaurantC．was generous and kind-hearted D．enjoyed making fun of others3．The underlined expression in the passage means “________”．A．being hurt by the wall B．winning the gameC．taking a deep breath D．running out of energy4. Who is the stranger in the marathon race?A. the writer’s friendB. the winner of the raceC. an athlete in the raceD. a stranger passing byBThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.5. The rate of older people________.A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesC. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20206. According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.7. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.C. Making sure adequate income protection for older people.D. Providing free health care for sick older people.8. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ________.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the aging problemB. population aging is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population aging problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the aging problemCA woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”W ithout any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program ofresearch (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of resp ect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.9. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. puzzledC. indifferentD. interested10. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. calmB. funnyC. worriedD. cool11. Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.12. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.DLaw School Essays that Made a DifferencePrice: US $ 13.95Paperback 256 pagesThe Princeton ReviewISBN: 0375763457Face it，and a lot of students have great LSAT scores.

高二英语下学期期末试卷（带答案）第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AI clearly remember my mom telling me to drink milk every day—one glass in the morning and another at night．I also remember loving it while my sister thought quite the opposite—she would surreptitiously pour her milk into the sink or water the plants with it! I guess I should thank my mom for making us drink a lot of milk, so rich in calcium（钙）, during those important years．Today, calcium shortage is one of the main concerns of women in their 30s or even early 20s．The great fear is that when we reach our 50s or 60s, osteoprosis（骨质疏松症）will set in．That is why you can see a lot of advertisements for products supposedly containing a lot of calcium．Because calcium is not that easy to acquire from the food we normally eat, busy women these days should take calcium supplements（补充物）．There are a lot of different forms of these---calcium carbonate（碳酸钙），oyster（牡蛎）shell or bone-meal-based calcium supplements．You have to be careful when choosing which kind to take．This is because calcium is not easily absorbed by the body．So the fact that you are taking supplements doesn’t mean that the body is actually benefiting from them．Different supplements may have different instructions on dosage（剂量）and manner of intake．You can ask your doctor to help you determine which supplement is the best for your needs．21. From what the author’s mother did we may inferthat___________________．A．her children had osteoporosisB．she knew her children would benefit from milkC．she must have suffered from osteoprosisD．she didn’t like her daughter who didn’t obey her order22. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The author’s sister will suffer from osteoprosis when reaches her 50s or 60sB．Many businessmen have already been selling products supposedly containing calcium．C．We can’t get enough calcium only from food we eat every day D．Women as young as their 20s should be concerned about calcium shortage23. What does the underlined word “surreptitiously”in the firstparagraph probably mean?A．Honestly B．Frankly C．Secretly D．Curiously24. We may infer from the last paragraphthat____________________．A．what one chooses as a calcium supplement might not workB．one shouldn’t take in calcium without the permission of a doctor C．the more calcium supplements one uses, the more calcium one can take inD．it is dangerous to use calcium supplements without the guidanceBPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally produced fo od and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you arevisiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats. Endangered speciesSome gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere tovisit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.25. According to the passage, we can _______ to help reduce climate change effect.A. make good use of waterB. buy local food and drinkC. save electricityD. go around on foot26. We should check the gifts and foods before buying because______.A. sometimes they are of poor qualityB. they may not be typical local productsC. some of them will do harm to our healthD. they may be made from endangered animals or plants27We can infer from the passage that ______.A. it is not easy for people to travel abroadB. not everyone can tell an illegal souvenirC. green holidays have been accepted by peopleD. volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats28. The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. protection of endangered animalsD. greener choices for holidayCIt’s said that professional footballers in the USA can make millions of dollars throughout their careers. Yet statistics show that many eventually run out of money once their playing days are over. The University of Pennsylvania wants to change that andhelpteach American footballers how to rebuild their lives when their sports careers come to an end.“All their life they have focused on football. Deciding what comes next can be difficult.”Says professor Morvarid Taheripour, the head of the athletes’project. “Some people say athletes die two deaths. You kind of die when you stop playing and you die in real life. So they’ve got to come back to life and figure out ‘How am I going to make a living at 25 for maybe another 40 years?”For Taheripour, the partnership with professional athletes is a dream to come true. “It was taking everythin g I love about teaching and yet being able to influence people who are accomplished and hard-working, yet very modest.”But even with help, figuring out the next chapter isn’t easy. Statistics show that 78 percent of professional football players are penniless, divorced or unemployed two years after retiring from their sport. The program tries to help players develop a plan for life after sport and 220 athletes have taken part over the past six years. Darwin Walker is one former student who avoided being a statistic. Today, he runs a number of successful businesses and thanks football for his accomplishments. “The concepts I learned about leadership have all come from playing the game of football,”says Walker. “The amount of study, amount of commitment, and timethat you have to put into it is very much like being a successful business person.”Shifting the skills learned on the field to the workplace seems natural to some, but the numbers show that’s not the case for everyone. Taheripour’s message to his stu dents is a serious one:This is the time to build for the future, he tells them, because no matter how long your athletic career lasts, you are so much more than just an athlete.29 By saying “athletes die two deaths”, the author means ________.A. athletes suffer too many failures in their lifeB. athletes have a sports life and a real lifeC. being an athlete contributes little to lifeD. athletes’later life can be easily rebuilt30. .Why is it difficult for professional athletes to decide what comes next?A. They might have not thought of this during their playing days.B. They have no idea whether to leave the game or not.C. They think as athletes they can make more money.D. They’re not willing to accept a new career.31. What does Darwin Walker manage to avoid?A. Making his sports career come to an end.B. Being unsuccessful in rebuilding his life.C. Going through the problem.D. Making a difference.32. What does the last paragraph imply?A. An athlete should think about more than his athletic career.B. An athlete’s sports career couldn’t last very long.C. An athlete should end his career earlier to build his new life.D. The longer an athlete’s career lasts, the more respect he receives.DDuring World War I, a German spy called Reginald Rowlandworked in the United Kingdom gathering information for Germany about the British army. A box of talcum powder (爽身粉) and other lotions （护肤液）with materials to write secret messages were found in his room when he was caught by British soldiers.

Where can we find this tour information?A．In a newspaper. B．On the Internet.C．In a geography book. D．In a magazine.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city — Beijing — had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point — more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively — crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) i s good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people”reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CFrom my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.”Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.8. How did Father impress the author?A. He liked writing stories.B. He loved making friends.C. He was a very young man.D. He was popular with children.9. Before the end of her life, Mother ___________.A. looked quite youngB. looked like an old ladyC. looked younger than she was C. looked like a forty-year-old woman10. What does the word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. CertainB. Curious.C. Cautious.D. Confident.11. What do we learn about Mother?A. She was lazy.B. She was strict.C. She was proud.D. She was specialDIn today’s consumer world, we’ve never had so much, yet it seems we’ve never been so unsatisfied. The cost of housing has been rising for decades, and the cost to the planet has been huge, too. But there is a way to live a simpler, greener, and more affordable life: buy a TinyDwelling home!TinyDwelling homes are very small, yet comfortable houses at affordable prices. Each TinyDwelling home has a contemporary design and included a living room, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs sleeping area, and convenient storage space. TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly, too. All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather, and solar panels (太阳能电池板) in order to provide light and electricity.TinyDwelling is part of the small-living movement that began in the late 1990s. Back then, a growing number of people began to live in very small homes. They wanted to reduce their possessions, living space, and energy costs, so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives. But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008, when many people realized that they couldn’t afford to keep large homes.Lizzy Morriaon, a small-living enthusiast, started TinyDwelling homes in 2008 to meet the needs of these people. Since then, Lizzy has been designing and building homes nonstop, and TinyDwelling homes have become so popular that thousands of people have bought one. And Lizzy hasn’t only d esigning and building houses. She has also been teaching people how to build them. Simply buy the plans and materials so that you can build your own home, and save even more money!12. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that __________.A. rich people are very unsatisfiedB. people are damaging the environmentC. there are more poor people than beforeD. people spend much money in saving the planet13. What do we know about the small-living movement?A. It aimed to handle the economic crisis.B. It was started by people without houses.C. It was well received by house designers.D. It did not become quite popular until 2008.14. What is the main attraction of TinyDwelling homes?A. They are affordable.B. They provide storage space.C. They have upstairs sleeping area.D.They are equipped with solar panels.15. Besides designing TinyDwelling homes, Lizzy also ___________.A. urged people to buy them.B. helped people to build them.C. taught people to save money.D. offered courses to train designers.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0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。

AIn April 2014, the world’s oldest known message in a bottle was discovered floating in the Baltic Sea. It had spent 101 years lost in the ocean! The message was finally sent to the author’s granddaughter.A German fisherman named Konrad Fischer found the brown bottle near Kiel, Germany. He said he nearly threw the bottle back into the water after pulling it out of a fishing net. Then he noticed something inside.The bottle in good condition contained a Danish postcard with two German stamps, dated May 17, 1913. Although dampness had made most of the writing hard to read out, the readable part of the message asked whoever found it to return it to an address in Berlin. It even contained two stamps to pay for postage.From the address, researchers found that the postcard was written by a man named Richard Platz, who was 20 years old when he wrote the message. While he was hiking on the Baltic Sea coast with a nature appreciation group, he threw the bottle into the sea. Then the researchers began a search for any living relatives of his. Sure enough, they were able to find his 62-year-old granddaughter, Angela Erdmann, who still lives in Berlin.“It was almost unbelievable,”Erdmann said upon being presented with her grandfather’s bottle and message. “That was a pretty moving moment. Tears rolled down my face.”Erdmann never knew her grandfather, who died in 1946, but she said that the discovery of the bottle had made her want to learn more about him.The bottle remained on display at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg until May 1st. After that, the researchers examined the postcard and tried to figure out the meaning of therest of the message.Previously, the oldest message found in a bottle spent nearly 98 years at the sea and was discovered in April 2012, according to Guinness World Records.1. When Konrad Fischer picked up the bottle from the sea, .A. he thought it would bring him good luckB. he noticed the postcard inside immediatelyC. he decided to uncover the secret of the bottleD. he wanted to throw it into the sea at first2. Why did Richard Platz throw the bottle with the message into the sea?A. He expected his granddaughter could find the postcard.B. He wished the finder would send the postcard to his home.C. He believed his postcard would be kept secret at the sea forever.D. He thought he could make friends with the finder of the bottle.3. What can be the best title for this passage?A. The finding of the floating bottle at the sea.B. A one-century-old letter to a granddaughter.C. The world’s oldest message in a floating bottle.D. The oldest Danish postcard in a floating bottle.BMy friend Jim and I finally decided to spend our 14 days off in the eastern country. We were arranged to stay with a local family, which made ti possible for us to share a real life experience with the locals and in return bring ourselves a richer experience of the native culture and tradition.In the company of one of our knowledgeable local tour leaders, we started one of the trips to the nearby town. As we were passing elephants, we stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by a small rope lied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that these elephants could, at any time, break away from the ropes they were tied to, but for some reason, they did not. My friend went up to the trainer and asked why these beautiful animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” he said, “when they were young and much smaller we used the same size rope to tie them and at that age, it was enough to hold them.”As they grow up, they are accustomed to believing that they cannot break away. They believe that the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free. We were amazed. These animals could at any time break away from their ropes but just because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? How many of us are being held by outdated belief that no longer serves us? How many of us have avoided trying something new because of a limited belief? Worse still, how many of us are being held back by someone else’s limiting beliefs? Your attempt may fail but never fail to make an attempt.4. What was the author most interested in during his visit?A. The local food and scenery.B. The local people and elephants.C. The local culture and tradition.D. The history of the eastern country.5. What amazed them was to see .A. the huge elephants tied only by a small ropeB. the elephants being trained with small ropesC. the trainer playing skilfully with the huge animalsD. the trainer attracting the visitors’ attention in such a way6. The elephants never tried to get away because .A. they had a very close relationship with their trainersB. they believed they couldn’t get away from the small ropesC. they got used to being raised and controlled by human beingsD. it was hard to break away from the strong and powerful ropes7. The author holds the view that .A. animals should be trained to obey their mastersB. people should travel around and try new thingsC. it’s necessary to train creatures when they are youngD. people should never fail to make an attempt or get held by false beliefsCGene technology is a kind of science focusing on the research of human genes. It is also called biological engineering, which is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it’s a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only can these two diseases be cured completely, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span ban be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English royal family being a good example, have hereditary （遗传的）diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to produce human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believed cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have their babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.8. What does “these two killers” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Hereditary diseases and cancer.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned baby.C. The two diseases of cancer and heart disease.D. Gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.9. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can be used to treat hereditary diseases.D. Gene technology can solve all the problems of the English royal family.10. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.B. Using gene technology, scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.C. Gene technology helps people with hereditary diseases to live longer.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of technology.11. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit people.B. Telling people the advantages and disadvantages of gene technology.C. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.D. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.DLearning to drive is important to the independence of teenagers, but it is also a great responsibility. Although having a law that keeps 16-year-old drivers from having more than one teenager in the car with them seems unfair, there are convincing reasons for this requirement.The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety reports that teens are four times more likely than older drivers to be involved in an automobile accident. It also reports that 16 and 17-year-old drivers are twice as likely to have an accident if they have two teenage friends in the car and four times if they have three or more teenage friends in the car with them. Fatal crashes of 16-year-old drivers involve the highest percentage of speeding, driver error, and number of passengers. This information is enough to cause any reasonable person to wonder about the wisdom of allowing new teen drivers to take a carload of friends anywhere, even if the law permits it.A study at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the part of the human brain that controls judgment and evaluates the consequences of our actions might not be fully formed until the age of 25. Until this study, researchers had placed the age of 18. If this is true, it could explain the reckless（鲁莽的）behavior of many teens, behavior that even extends into their twenties. It could also be a strong reason for being watchful about the driving settings of young people.This is not the only study that indicates such concern is necessary. One study at Temple University in Philadelphia examines the results of peer pressure in risky driving situations. The study, which uses a driving game, has an individual guide a car through a course, both alone and in the presence of friends. Three different age groups participated in the study:13-16, 18-22, and 24 and older. Members of the oldest group showed caution whether driving alone or with friends present, but the two younger groups took more chances when they were with their friends. Furthermore, because these drivers were accustomed to the noise an disturbance of many passengers, they were unable to see their own mistakes. Once again, this is a good suggestion thata law restricting the number of teenagers in the car with a young driver is a good idea.12. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A. There are many causes behind the teen’s driving accidents.B. It’s reasonable to strictly limit the passenger number of teen drivers.C. New teen drivers have to ask permission before driving with friends.D. Many deaths have occurred because of inexperience and overconfidence.13. From the two studies, the author probably suggests that .A. different age groups have different peer pressureB. underdeveloped brain makes teens ignore their mistakesC. teenagers often give wrong judgments above passengers’ noticeD. driving settings are bound up with the risk of accidents14. We can infer that the law restriction can probably .A. protect teens on the highwayB. raise teens’ driving skillsC. reduce the number of fatal crashesD. force teens to drive with wisdom15. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. Number of passengers.B. This information.C. Wisdom.D. Teen drivers take a carload of friends anywhere. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can't you be bothered to do？A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they'd use the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．Just over 2，000people were interviewed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health charity．The results were surprising．About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese（肥胖）before they start school．Dr．Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said，"People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，friends and evidently their pets too．If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simple tasks．"And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most indolent city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesity related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year．4.What do lazy British people probably choose to do？______A.Go to stores．B.Catch the lift．C.Cook from scratch．D.Climb flights of stairs．5.How many people surveyed don't play with children because of tiredness？______A.About 333．B.About 419．C.About 654．D.About 1280．6.What is the potential result of more and more people，including children，getting obese？______A.People will not get enough exercise．B.People will not have enough money．C.People will not be able to do the easy job．D.People will not cure themselves of heart disease．7.What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the study？______A.Indifferent．B.Doubtful．C.Negative．D.Supportive．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】B 【小题3】C 【小题4】D【解析】24-27BBCD24．B．细节理解题．根据文章第二段：A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle that th eyd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs可知懒惰的英国人宁愿乘坐电梯也不愿爬两层楼梯；故选B．25．B．细节理解题．根据文章第五段"Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them"可知大约有419的调查者因为疲劳而不与孩子玩耍；故选B．26．C．细节理解题．根据文章第六段"If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simple tasks"可知肥胖的潜在后果是人们将不能做容易的工作；故选C．27．D．推理判断题．根据最后一段"Health Service，where obesity related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increas e for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year"可知作者对研究发现的态度是支持的；故选D．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了研究发现英国人表现出了越来越多的懒惰症状，这导致了许多人患上肥胖症，可能连简单的事情也无法完成．做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路COf course，she wasn't really my aunt and，out of fear，I never called her that to her face．I only referred to her as"My Aunt Fannie"because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us-at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior．I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible．As a young woman，my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse．During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield．She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others．Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart，as long as Aunt Fannie was alive，she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret．Each August，my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit．One year，after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it．"Hold onto this coin，"she said，"and someday you will be rich．I still have my very first coin，given to me by my grandmother．"So I kept the coin in a small boxand waited to become rich．I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie．In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe．But to me，it was just a common recipe．Neither have significantly made me become a rich person，but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life．Money can make you feel rich for a while，but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy．And that is a fortune that anyone can build．8.Why did the author always use the name"My Aunt Fannie"in conversations？______A.She was frightened of Aunt Fannie．B.She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe．C.She enjoyed her parents'responses．D.She greatly respected"Aunt Fannie"．9.The underlined word"she"in Paragraph 2refers to ______ ．A.Aunt FannieB.the author's grandmotherC.the author's motherD.Aunt Fannie's grandmother10.In the last paragraph，the author encourages readers to ______ ．A.hold onto the first coin in lifeB.make as many friends as possibleC.make money with their own handsD.spend more time with family and friends11.What could be the best title for this passage？______A.The Key to SuccessB.Blueberry Jam RecipeC.A Fortune Built from a CoinD.A Relationship of Trust．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】B【解析】29．C．细节理解题．根据第一段最后一句I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many con versations as possible．可知，我可以判断父母的两种反应都让作者感到有趣，所以才会经常说．选C．30．A．词意猜测题．本题属于词意猜测题中的代词的指代问题．根据前面的一句During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam （蓝莓酱） ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield．可知，Aunt Fanny的蓝莓酱做的非常好，正是因此而出名，所以本句中的she就是指代的Aunt Fanny；故选A．31 D．推理判断题．根据最后一段中倒数第二句Money can make you feel rich for a while，but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly lea ve you wealthy．可知，金钱可以暂时让人感觉富有，唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有．说明作者倡导我们多和家人待在一起；故选D．32．B．标题概括题．本文介绍了Aunt Fanny蓝莓酱做的很好、很出名，她的秘密在于蓝莓酱的处方，这个处方实际上是人生的一种感悟，真正让我们幸福的是和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆．所以使用Blueberry Jam Recipe作为文章的标题最合适；故选B．作者通过讲述芬妮姨妈和她的蓝莓酱配方，向我们说明金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有，唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些幸福日子以及美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有．本文是一篇人物故事类阅读理解，题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．DWhere do you keep ice？In the freezer，of course．That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world．They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt．Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault （地下室）there．He says："We are probably the only scientific community whose sample （样本）is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet．If you work on rocks or on tree rings，the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries．"And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps，for example？Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years．Trapped air bubbles （气泡）contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed．Ice is a record of climate．By examining ice，we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years．Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future．The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station，which is operated by scientists from France and Italy．The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10meters below the surface，at a constant temperature of-50℃．This will put the scientists'minds at rest．Losing the ice samples would be a disaster，and nobody wants to seea mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool．12.What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice？______A.Its large mountains．B.Its function as a freezer．C.The abundant ice samples there．D.The absence of global warming．13.Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state that ______ ．A.it's necessary to store iceB.it's more valuable to study iceC.ice disappears very quicklyD.ice should be stored at home14.What is the researchers'purpose of studying ice？______A.To learn about climate．B.To learn about the Alps．C.To trap air bubbles．D.To reduce carbon dioxide．15.What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica？______A.They consider it an easy job．B.They're not optimistic about it．C.They think it will cause disasters．D.They think it's a reliable way．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】32-35BAAD32．B．推理判断题．根据第一段最后一句They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt．可知因为全球变暖是，世界其他地方的冰都在融化，科学家把南极洲用来储存冰块，就是把它当成冰箱在使用．故B正确．33．A．推理判断题．根据第三段三、四、五句Trapped air bubbles （气泡） contain samples of the atmospherethat existed when that ice was formed．Ice is a recor d of climate By examining ice．we know carbondioxide in the atmosphere is higher now tha n in the last three million years．可知这些都是人们储存冰的原因，研究冰块，我们可以了解很多过去的事情，并预测未来的事情．所以文章中提到这些例子是为了说明储存冰块的必要性．故A正确．34．A．细节理解题．根据第三段三、四句Trapped air bubbles （气泡） contain samples of the atmosphere thatexisted when that ice was formed．Ice is a recor d of climate By examining ice．可知研究冰块可以让我们了解很多与气候有关的信息．故A正确．35．D．推理判断题．根据第一段：They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glac iers in places like the Alps to melt可知科学家认为在南极洲储存冰是一个可靠的办法；故选D．本文属于科普说明文阅读，科学家想方设法保存地球上存在的冰块，并计划在南极洲建立一个地下室储存冰块．文章中介绍了科学家要储存冰块的原因和目的．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．II、信息匹配(本大题共5小题，共10.0分)Some people just know how to start a conversation with anyone，in any place．If you're not one of these lucky types，don't worry．（36）______Remark on the surroundings or occasion．If you're at a party，for example，you could comment on the food or the music in a positive way like this："I love this song．"or"The food's great．"（37）______ For example．"How is the wine？"or"Who do you know here？"Most people enjoy talking about themselves so asking a question is a good way to get a conversation started．（38）______ For example，"I really like your purse．Can I ask where you got it？"or"You're really doing well in this．Can you show me how to do it？"Remark on anything you have in common．People would like your saying"My daughter went to that school，too．How does your son like it？"（39）______ Don't say something that obviously causes offence and avoid heavy subjects such as politics or religion．Stick to light subjects like the weather，surroundings，and anything you have in common such as movies or sports teams．Listen effectively．（40）______ You can't concentrate on what someone's saying if you're thinking about what you're going to say next．The key to effective communication is to focus fully on the speaker and show interest in what's being said．Nod occasionally，smile at the person，and encourage the speaker to continue with or"uh huh．"A．Choose subjects you're interested in．B．Use a praise to create a good atmosphere．C．Keep the conversation going with small talks．D．It is not the same as waiting for your turn to talk．E．Ask specific questions that are related to the drinks．F．Ask a question

new．16.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E17.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E18.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E19.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E20.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.E【答案】【小题1】G 【小题2】F 【小题3】B 【小题4】C 【小题5】D【解析】36-40GFBCD36 G 考查上下文的理解判断能力．本句属于上下文过渡句，横线前句提出如果你不擅长于他人交谈，也不要担心．接下来是一个帮助你和陌生人交流的很好的方法建议．故G项符合上下文串联．37 F 考查上下文的理解判断能力．根据横线后"How is the wine？"or"Who do you know here？可知本段的建议是要提出一个问题与对方进行交流，而且这个问题要稍微复杂一点，不要只是"yes/no"来回答．故F项符合上下文串联．38 B 考查上下文的理解判断能力．根据横线后"I really like your purse．Can I ask where you got it？-or"You're really doing well in this．Can you show me how to do it？"可知都是表扬，利用表扬来创造出好的交流氛围．故B项符合上下文串联．39 C 考查上下文的理解判断能力．根据本段最后一句Stick to light subjects like theweather，surroundings，and anything you have in common such as movies or sports teams．要一直谈论一些诸如天气、环境、体育等话题，让你们的对话进行下去．故C项正确．40 D 考查上下文的理解判断能力．根据本段后两句The key to effective communication is to focus fully on the speaker and show interest in what's being said．Nod occasionally，smile at the person，and encourage the speaker to continue with or"uh huh．"在交流的时候不要只是沉默，而是要积极地和对方沟通，对着对方微笑，通过各种方法进行沟通交流．故D项符合上下文．本文提出了一些如何与别人进行有效交流的建议．做七选五题目时要注意以下规则：1．放进去通顺，这一点是基础．凡不通顺的必错无疑；2、选项中有单词、词组、句子成分或与所选答案所在段内容重合；3、选项与其上句或下句之间有必然的逻辑关系；4、选项全部内容都属于正确答案所在段．有时备选答案中可能含有甲乙两项内容，这时，只有当甲和乙都归属于本段时，答案才是正确的．III、完形填空(本大题共20小题，共30.0分)Last

广东仲元中学2015学年第一学期期末考试高二年级英语（考试时间120分钟满分150分）第一部分阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分,满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分）阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWhen was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a to tal stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you.” It felt like an angel was saying, “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”Just last year, I was running a halfmarathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a strang er came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．The kindness of strangers B．Valuable friendshipC．Two special experiences D．Helping others is worthwhile2．According to the passage, the man in white ________.A．was the author’s friend B．had a big meal in the restaurantC．was generous and kindhearted D．enjoyed making fun of others3．The underlined expression in the passage means “________”．A．being hurt by the wall B．winning the gameC．taking a deep breath D．running out of energy4. Who is the stranger in the marathon race?A. the writer’s friendB. the winner of the raceC. an athlete in the raceD. a stranger passing byBThere are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. Accor ding to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that th e population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.5. The rate of older people________.A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesC. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20206.According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for o lder people.7. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.C. Making sure adequate income protection for older people.D. Providing free health care for sick older people.8. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ________.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the aging problemB. population aging is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population aging problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the aging problemCA woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”W ithout any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing n ote of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Mot herhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.9. How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?A. curiousB. puzzledC. indifferentD. interested10. How did the author feel when describing her job to the clerk?A. calmB. funnyC. worriedD. cool11. Wh y did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?A. Because the author cared little about rewards.B. Because she admired the author’s research work in the la b.C. Because she thought the author did admirable work.D. Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.12. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.B. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.C. To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.D. To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.DLaw School Essays that Made a DifferencePrice: US $ 13.95Paperback 256 pagesThe Princeton ReviewISBN: 0375763457Face it， and a lot of students have great LSAT scores.

consider my application．If you have any questions you can reach me at （566）734﹣4470or at akwak@cvva．ca．Sincerely，Alice Kwak21．Who is Rory Saunders？A．A copy editor．B．A Job Center employee．C．A human resources manager．D．A teacher at Frayer College．22．In which of the areas does Alice Kwak claim to have experience？A．Using database．B．Editing letters．C．Arranging travel．D．Organizing meetings．23．How does Alice describe herself？A．A creative manager．B．A famous writer．C．A team player．D．A self﹣starter．24．（8分）Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch？Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can't you be bothered to do？A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy that they'd use the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．Just over 2，000people were interviewed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health charity．The results were surprising．About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch abus．Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese（肥胖）before they start school．Dr．Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said，"People need to get fitter，not just for their own sake，but for the sake of their families，friends and evidently their pets too．If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the simple tasks．"And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most indolent city in the UK，with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．The results pose serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesity related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40years and are costing billions of pounds every year．24．What do lazy British people probably choose to do？A．Go to stores．B．Catch the lift．C．Cook from scratch．D．Climb flights of stairs．25．How many people surveyed don't play with children because of tiredness？A．About 333．B．About 419．C．About 654．D．About 1280．26．What is the potential result of more and more people，including children，getting obese？A．People will not get enough exercise．B．People will not have enough money．C．People will not be able to do the easy job．D．People will not cure themselves of heart disease．27．What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the study？A．Indifferent．B．Doubtful．C．Negative．D．Supportive．28．（8分）Of course，she wasn't really my aunt and，out of fear，I never called her that to her face．I only referred to her as"My Aunt Fannie"because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us ﹣at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior．I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible．As a young woman，my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse．During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield．She was well﹣known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others．Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart，as long as Aunt Fannie was alive，she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret．Each August，my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie's visit．One year，after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it．"Hold onto this coin，"she said，"and someday you will be rich．I still have my very first coin，given to me by my grandmother．"So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich．I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie．In people's eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe．But to me，it was just a common recipe．Neither have significantly made me become a rich person，but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life．Money can make you feel rich for a while，but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy．And that is a fortune that anyone canbuild．28．Why did the author always use the name"My Aunt Fannie"in conversations？A．She was frightened of Aunt Fannie．B．She liked Aunt Fannie's recipe．C．She enjoyed her parents'responses．D．She greatly respected"Aunt Fannie"．29．The underlined word"she"in Paragraph 2refers to．A．Aunt FannieB．the author's grandmotherC．the author's motherD．Aunt Fannie's grandmother30．In the last paragraph，the author encourages readers to．A．hold onto the first coin in lifeB．make as many friends as possibleC．make money with their own handsD．spend more time with family and friends31．What could be the best title for this passage？A．The Key to SuccessB．Blueberry Jam RecipeC．A Fortune Built from a CoinD．A Relationship of Trust．32．（8分）Where do you keep ice？In the freezer，of course．That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world．They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt．Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault （地下室）there．He says："We are probably the only scientific community whose sample （样本）is in danger of disappearing from the face of theplanet．If you work on rocks or on tree rings，the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries．"And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps，for example？Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years．Trapped air bubbles （气泡）contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed．Ice is a record of climate．By examining ice，we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years．Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future．The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station，which is operated by scientists from France and Italy．The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10meters below the surface，at a constant temperature of﹣50℃．This will
