河南洛阳市2014届高中毕业班第二次英语大练习2高考英语2014-04-07 2045that moment on，I heard about 4 minutes of Mr．Ward shouting at Tony．He got his test paper torn up and a zero for the end of the year exam and also failed for the term and had to take summer school．That was the first and the last time that I had seen Mr．Ward ever shout like that．Obviously Tony had written his answers inside the sleeve(外壳)of the calculator and every time he was“using his calculator”he was really looking at the formulas (公式)and other information he had written inside of the sleeve，which was all done without success because Mr．Ward noticed it a mile away．56．From the passage we know that ．A．Mr．Ward disliked his studentsB．Tony wasn't good at mathsC．Tony worked at his test quicklyD．the author was trying to help Tony out57．The underlined word“lines”in Paragraph 4 refers to．A．the maths tests B．the maths papersC．the summer school D．Mr．Ward's speech58．The boy used his calculator again and again because he ．A．wanted to see what was wrong with itB．needed to add the numbersC．wanted to see what he had written inside the sleeve of itD．felt too frightened to use it properly with Mr．Ward staring at him59．We can infer from this passage that ．A．Mr．Ward was a new teacherB．Tony asked the writer for help in his testC．Mr．Ward regretted having let Tony fail the testD．the students were taking the final-term examBIf you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Greenhouse of Flowers，you will have a chance to see some meat-eating plants．Take bladderworts，a kind of such plant，for example．They appear so small and grow in a quiet pool．But these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom，able to catch a small insect(昆虫)in 1／50 of a second using a trap(陷阱) door!Once the trap door closes on the animal falling into it，the enzymes(酶)similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest(消化)the insect．When dinner is over，the plant open the trap door and is ready for trap again．Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food value．In such conditions，these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional(营养)needs over thousands of years．North America has more such plants than any other continent．Generally speaking，the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye，like pitcher plants，which get their name because they look like beautiful pitches(a container like a bottle)full of honey．The Asian pitch plant，for example，has bright colors and an attractive half-closed cover．Curious insects are attracted to come close and take a drink，then fall down the slippery wall to their deaths．Hair-like growths along the pitch walls ensure that nothing can escape，and the digestive enzymes can get to work．A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours，but a fly takes a couple of days．Some of these pitches are large enough to hold twogallons(7.5liters)．Meat-eating plants only eat people in science movies，but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discoverthat a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink．60．From the first paragraph，we can know that meat-eating plantscan ．A．catch 50 small insects in a second B．catch an insect in the shortest timeC．be found floating on a quiet lake D．notice an insect in 1／50 of a second61．If the trap door of a meat，eating plant is closed，theplant ．A．is fooling insects into taking a drink B．is producing honeyC．is attracting insects to come close D．is enjoying a dinner62．Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil becausethey ．A．can get nutrition from animalsB．don't need much food valueC．can make the most of such conditionsD．have developed digestive enzymes63．We learn from the text that meat-eating plants ．A．are big and tall B．like to grow in dry landC．look bright and beautiful D．are usually covered with hairCNot all children who grow up inside a culture are completely influenced(影响)by another culture．Some young people find that theyare more interested in nature or the culture of other country at a very young age．The most famous painter in Victoria's history is Emily Carr．She was born in 1871 and，as a child，she discovered that walking in the woods appealed more to her than playing with other children．She discovered she was more interested in wandering in the streets of old Victoria than playing at home with dolls(玩具娃娃)and spending her time brushing her hair and putting pretty ribbons(丝带)in it．Emily was a little girl who spent much of her childhood in Beacon Hill Park，which was very close to her family home．Drawingfascinated(使……着迷)her，and she also liked to play with the animals she kept as pets．She had ducks and chickens，and even a crow．In later life she had several dogs and pet monkeys too! She often wandered around the streets of Victoria and Was particularly interested in the First Nations people and the Chinese people she saw in Victoria's Chinatown．Their culture and way of dressing seemed different from her own．At the age of sixteen she began to study drawing seriously．Shefinally traveled to San Francisco and Paris to study art，but always returned to her beloved forests of the Pacific Northwest in the Victoria area．As she became a young，strong and independent woman，Emily loved the free and simple lifestyle she saw the First Nations people living．In the summer of 1895 she went on an expedition(远征探险)with two other women to explore the wilderness along the Cowichan River that runs through Duncan，just north of Victoria．64．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Some children may be attracted by nature or foreign culture．B．The relationship of children and culture．C．Some children live in foreign culture．D．All children like their own culture．65．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“appealed…to?A．Surprised． B．Interested． C．Disappointed．D．Encouraged．66．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Emily Carr was a well-known painter．B．Emily Carr was a very strange girl．C．Dolls and ribbons were what ordinary girls liked．D．Dolls and ribbons were what Emily Carr liked．67．Emily learned painting in ．A．the streets ofVictoria B．Victoria's ChinatownC．San Francisco and Paris D．the forests of the Pacific NorthwestDThe British colony(殖民地)of Bermuda is a top summer-time escape．Yet，even through October，Bermuda isn't ready to stop for the winter．During this month，world-class festivals on the island keep things lively and the weather remains comfortable enough for Bermuda shorts and bathing suits．In October，Bermuda hosts two major festivals-the Bermuda Music Festivals and the Bermuda Culinary Arts(厨艺)Festival．The 2014th anniversary Bermuda Music Festival begins October 5 and includes three days of performances at the Royal Naval Dockyard on Bermuda's West End．Main stage performers include Joss Stone，Patti Labelle，and Al Green，and famous local Bermudian artists．General admission tickets start $60 for one day or $160 for a three-day pass．Starting October 21，the Culinary Arts Festival brings some of North America's top chefs(厨师) to the island for four days of food and wine tastings，conferences，and cooking competitions．The chefs present include Todd English and Michael Lomonaco，among others．Three-day festival passes start at $649 per person，but you can also buy separate tickets for individual(个体的)events．Even if you don't attend one of the festivals, there's still plenty to do．With mostly sunny days and temperatures averaging around 79 degrees，the weather is just right for joining in Bermuda's two favorite pastimes-golf and tennis．With fewer visitors on the island than during the summer，you may have an easier time getting the besttimes or a place on the courts．It's also still warm enough to enjoy the island's pink sand beaches and go swimming，because the water keeps the summer's heat longer than the air．Of course，you can always shop in the city of Hamilton's upscale(质优价高的)small goods and arts and crafts shops．68．The Culinary Arts Festival lasts ．A．from October 5 to 7 B．from October 5 to 8C．from October 21 to 24 D．from October 21 to 2569．The best time to travel to Bermuda is ．A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter70．This text is most probably a piece of ．A．advertisement B．introduction C．news D．notice71．According to the text which of the following statements is true?A．In winter the travelers can't swim in the sea．B．Bermuda is an island controlled by the UKC．The two festivals fall on the same period of OctoberD．Bermuda's two major festivals in October are mainly for the British．EElectric books could change reading，but people ought to consider their far-reaching effect as well．“The e-book promises to cause a slow destruction on life as we know it，”Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment(评估)，university of Alaska Southeast in Juneau， warned the World Future Society，Bethesda，Md．His assessment weighed the pros and cons of e-book technology's effect on social relationships，the environment，the economy，etc． Before you open an e-book, consider that disadvantages．They increase tiredness of eyes because of poor-made screen，replace a relatively cheap commodity(商品)with a more expensive one，and displace workers in printing book production and traditional publishing，E-books make it easy to share information，therefore having an effect on copyright agreements and reducing pay to the authors，as well as bringing non-biodegradable (不可生物降解)rubbish．On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees，reduce the heavy work of the carrying and storing of printed books，develop ability in learning by oneself and make reading an experience of working with others online．They also offer new jobs to writers and artists and encourage self publishing．Besides，Ohler points out，e-books should gain society's agreementsif a few conditions are met：make them biodegradable andrecyclable(可循环的)，solve the problem of eye tiredness，be sure the have-nots get the technology，and support e-book training in schools and businesses．72．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?A．Warn people of the disadvantages of e-books．B．Call

河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年下学期高二年级第二次月考英语试卷
河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年下学期高二年级第二次月考英语试卷一卷（满分70分）一阅读理解（满分30分）AEven small cuts can become infected if they are left untreated. Any break in the skin can let bacteria (细菌) enter the body. But taking good care of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.Medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. Lake or ocean water should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. They say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢).It is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. After the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. They also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. Finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. As the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. A high body temperature is also a sign of infection. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Seek help from a doctor.For larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. Place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. Direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. Do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. Instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. Use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. If the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.1. To treat a wound, you should NOT ______.A. clean it with sea waterB. clean the dirt around itC. cover it with a clean clothD. use peroxide2. What should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?A. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.B. Put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.C. Do nothing as it’s not serious.D. See a doctor as soon as possible.3. The underlined word “victim” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______”.A. woundB. painC. bandageD. patient4. Which is the RIGHT order in dealing with large wounds or bleeding?a. Put another cloth on top.b. Cover the wound with a clean cloth.c. Hold the wound tightly.d. Wash the cut with running water.e. Send for a doctor if it is needed.A. a, b, c, dB. b, c, a, eC. d, b, c, aD. c, b, a, eBThe US space shuttle Discovery’s safe landing is an obvious comfort to NASA, which wa s forced to pause construction of the half-built space station three years ago when the shuttle Columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.After landing, shuttle commander Steve Lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of damage after its long journey. “This is my fourth flight, and I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.”That is important to NASA, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible.NASA chief Michael Griffin attributes Discovery’s success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck.“This is as good a mission as we’ve ever flown, but we’re not going to get overconfident,” he said. “We have to take it flight by flight.”During Discovery’s two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since Columbia’s accident. It also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its crew members made repairs to station systems critical to continuing the outpost’s construction. Michael Griffin said, “So with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.”Station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle Atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components.Griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. He says only 16 shuttle flights remain before t he fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space station’s construction schedule.“We don’t have any leeway (松懈),” he said. “We have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. So, we can’t afford to mess up.”5. From the passage, we learn that __________.A Steve Lindsey has travelled four times in spaceB. it took NASA less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damageC the shuttle Discovery forced NASA to pause construction of the space stationD. Discovery’s successful flight was due to luck6. What do we know about the shuttle Discovery from the passage?A. It broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.B. Its successful flight means NASA can continue constructing the space station.C. It sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.D. It carried two crew members to the space station.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that Michael Griffin has ever seenB. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futureC. the space station construction will be continued soonD. the crew members haven’t repaired the space station8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Space station construction to be continued.B. Space flight accident avoided again.C. Space shuttle Discovery lands safely.D. The space shuttle Discovery’s two-week flight.CBurns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin isusually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.9. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph probab ly means “______”.A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriouslyB. They range from slight burns to deadly onesC. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyD. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly10. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.A. what kind of treatment they needB. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedC. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isD. which layer of skin is burned11. From the passage we learn that _______.A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentB. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatmentC. burns without pains can be treated at homeD. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeB. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aidC. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is brokenD. you shouldn’t place any w et towels on the burned areaDFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.13. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.14. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.二完形填空（满分30分）Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character?And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒).1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”4 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires.5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved,unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.二卷（满分50分）四语法填空(每空1.5分，满分15分)One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.

The Americ an hadn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect.

My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my plac e. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my he ad stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till m y dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unb earable. I started calling the dentists in the phonebook, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist w ill fit you in .”I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenlyI began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn ’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw not hing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him? ”I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy th e artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it, on the ceiling. How consi derate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief！66. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling t hat morning?A.

A student from Japan who has been studying in for a yea r and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.be unable to get money from any LEAget money if taking a first degree courseget money from LEA when finishing his coursehave to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She ha s workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year ?None. B. £155. C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customerCPublicity（宣传) offers several benefits. There are not costs for message ti me or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and ne w products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the re ader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, peop le are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Fe ature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their c overage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news relea ses and find only portions mentioned by the media, and medi a have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would li ke.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massiv e publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprov e the rumor（谣言）. The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as whe n a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the m edia may not cover the introduction or opening until after the ti me it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the place ment of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Final ly, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the a mount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are m ore _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & G amble” is given to show ____ _.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its b rief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of t he blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior o f drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of othe rs. So the massacre（屠杀）on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carel essness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological c ondition of the driver. Emotional upsets can affect drivers’ rea ctions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that mi ght otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for e very driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem i s not limited to drivers. Street walkers regularly ignore traffic r egulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to th e basic rules of the road.In the past few years, safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic r oad-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lo wered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreas ed. But the accident experts still worry because there has bee n little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The onlyreal and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince peopl e that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and con centration. Those who fail to do all these things present a thre at to those with whom they share the road.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in N O MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Why road killers can’t be excused?Because __________.79. In order to avoid automobile accidents, the experts sugge st drivers should __________.80. Besides drivers, who should also be blamed for most road s accidents?81. The accident rate has decreased in the past few years be cause of __________.第II卷I.

However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of (不赞成) these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality (质量) of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite (明确) answer.61. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. The Right to LiveB. The Right to DieC. The Doctor’s DutyD.

The quality of life is not as important as life itself.CCao Min couldn’t believe she was experiencing exactly what she had seen years ago in the film “Titanic”.Cao and her two children from Anhui Province were traveling on board the “Liaoludu 7” on February 22. They were among the first people on the ship who were rescued by lifeboats. Cao’s one-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.The “Liaoludu 7” was traveling in the Bohai Straits from Lvshun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 230 pm and tilted(倾斜) on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry began to sink.“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump on to a lifeboat,” Cao recalled.Upon receiving the mayday appeal (紧急呼救), China Marine Search and Rescue Centre immediately informed the State Council. The center sent eight lifeboats to the fishing boats.After more than four hours of fighting strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were recovered. All but four survived.

河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题一卷（满分70分）一阅读理解（满分30分）AEven small cuts can become infected if they are left untreated. Any break in the skin can let bacteria (细菌) enter the body. But taking good care of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.Medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. Lake or ocean water should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. They say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢).It is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. After the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. They also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. Finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. As the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. A high body temperature is also a sign of infection. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Seek help from a doctor.For larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. Place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. Direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. Do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. Instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. Use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. If the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.1. To treat a wound, you should NOT ______.A. clean it with sea waterB. clean the dirt around itC. cover it with a clean clothD. use peroxide2. What should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?A. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.B. Put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.C. Do nothing as it’s not serious.D. See a doctor as soon as possible.3. The underlined word “victim” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______”.A. woundB. painC. bandageD. patient4. Which is the RIGHT order in dealing with large wounds or bleeding?a. Put another cloth on top.b. Cover the wound with a clean cloth.c. Hold the wound tightly.d. Wash the cut with running water.e. Send for a doctor if it is needed.A. a, b, c, dB. b, c, a, eC. d, b, c, aD. c, b, a, eBThe US space shuttle Discovery’s safe landing is an obvious comfort to NASA, which was forced to pause construction of the half-built space station three years ago when the shuttle Columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.After landing, shuttle commander Steve Lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of da mage after its long journey. “This is my fourth flight, and I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.”That is important to NASA, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible.NASA chief Michael Griffin attributes Discovery’s success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck.“This is as good a mission as we’ve ever flown, but we’re not going to get overconfident,” he said. “We have to take it flight by flight.”During Discovery’s two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since Columbia’s accident. It also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its crew members made repairs to station system s critical to continuing the outpost’s construction. Michael Griffin said, “So with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.”Station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle Atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components.Griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. He says only 16 shuttle flights remain before the fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space station’s construction schedule.“We don’t have any leeway (松懈),” he said. “We have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. So, we can’t afford to mess up.”5. From the passage, we learn that __________.A Steve Lindsey has travelled four times in spaceB. it took NASA less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damageC the shuttle Discovery forced NASA to pause construction of the space stationD. Discovery’s successful flight was due to luck6. What do we know about the shuttle Discovery from the passage?A. It broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.B. Its successful flight means NASA can continue constructing the space station.C. It sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.D. It carried two crew members to the space station.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that Michael Griffin has ever seenB. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futureC. the space station construction will be continued soonD. the crew members haven’t repaired the space station8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Space station construction to be continued.B. Space flight accident avoided again.C. Space shuttle Discovery lands safely.D. The space shuttle Discovery’s two-week flight.CBurns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.9. The underlined sent ence in the first paragraph probably means “______”.A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriouslyB. They range from slight burns to deadly onesC. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyD. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly10. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.A. what kind of treatment they needB. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedC. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isD. which layer of skin is burned11. From the passage we learn that _______.A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentB. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatmentC. burns without pains can be treated at homeD. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeB. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aidC. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is b rokenD. you shouldn’t place any wet towels on the burned areaDFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservationis the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.13. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.14. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.二完形填空（满分30分）Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 71 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 72 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money givento others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.73 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people u sing their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”74 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 75 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.二卷（满分50分）班级：_________ 姓名：___________ 考号：___________四语法填空(每空1.5分，满分15分)One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.

河南省洛阳八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题
河南省洛阳八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题注意：时间90分钟，满分120分一卷I. 阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）ＡIn the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are sold in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife- painting training center for them.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 y uan. That’ s much higher than average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.1. How was life for the disabled people in the past?A. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.C. With the help of the government, they led a comfortable life.D. They had to learn to paint to earn a living.2. From the passage we can learn that ________.A. the disabled had to earn a living by workingB. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these yearsC. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent yearsD. more and more disabled people will learn to paint3. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing worksB. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brought abroadC. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sol d to foreignersD. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintings4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A kind of folk art in China.B. Knife-drawing was first developed in Dunhua.C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.D. China helps the disabled find jobs.B5. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others6. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider7. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help8. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Opportunity.B. A W inner’s Secret.C. A Winner’s Problem.D. A Winner’s Achievement.CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.9.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by .A、diseases and agingB、accidents and warC、accidents and agingD、heart disease and war10.In the author’ s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies in.A、medicineB、the InternetC、brain cellsD、human organ11.Humans may live longer in the future because .A、heart disease will be far away from usB、human brains can decide the final deathC、the basic materials of cells will last foreverD、human organs can be repaired by new medicine12.We can learn from the passage that .A、human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB、humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC、much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD、we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDAmong all the malignancies (恶性肿瘤), lung cancer is the biggest killer more than 10,000 Americans die of the disease a year. Giving up smoking is one of the obvious ways to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene (胡萝卜素).The finding, published in the British medical journal ＴｈｅＬａｎｃｅｔ, is a part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr Richard Shekelle of Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects’ dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The connection seems logical, explains Shekelle, since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelial (上皮的) tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. Preformed vitamin A is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash (南瓜), tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found few connections between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A. But when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the 488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer; in a group of the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene helps even longtime smokers, but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the links between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely poisonous in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balanced diet that includes foods rich in carotene. For a smoker, half a cup of carrots every day might make the difference between life and death.13. Which of the following might be most helpful for people to avoid getting lung cancer?A. Eating vegetables containing carotene every day.B. Giving up smoking right now.C. Eating more fresh fruits every day.D. Eating a simple everyday diet.14. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A. Shekelle has been researching lung cancer since 1957B. the links between diet and lung cancer were discovered by Shekelle himselfC. Shekelle got the finding after monitoring 2,000 men for many yearsD. the researchers have investigated the relationship between diet and disease for half a century15. The examinations on groups of people of the same size showed that ________.A. few people got lung cancer because most of them have a well-balanced dietB. the incidence of lung cancer is closely related to the intake of caroteneC. the intake of carotene has little protective effect on longtime smokersD. the result of the earlier research is false and of no useII. 完形填空（30分）In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life, a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory__16__course about 20 years ago.The professor __17__the lecture hall, placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆）, and invited the students to _18_how many beans the jar contained.

河南省洛阳八中2013-2014学年高二英语下学期第一次月考试题新人教版注意：时间90分钟，满分120分一卷I. 阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）ＡIn the past, many disabled Chinese people led very restricted (受限制的) lives. They had little chance to find work or support themselves. But their situation has improved dramatically over recent decades.In the past five years, the government has been stepping up efforts to help employ disabled people. Huge investments have been made in training, and many disabled people have found jobs and become financially independent.When Wu Zihe was growing up, she was like a prisoner in her home. Having a job was something she could only dream about. But now she is famous for her art. Wu is working on a landscape. She said, “I can earn 30 or 40 yuan for paintings like this, if they are so ld in groups. If I sell them separately, I can get about 100 yuan. It only takes me one day to finish one painting, so I can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a month.”Wu Zihe practices knife-drawing, which originated in her hometown Dunhua. If one has the eyes, the brain and hands, it takes about a year to learn the basic techniques.Dunhua government’s official Zhang Chunhua said, “We think it suits disabled people very well. So the government spent 10 million yuan to set up this knife-painting training center for them.”Training in the center is free. Even the materials are provided by the government. Since last year, the center has trained over 200 disabled persons like Wu Zihe. They usually earn 500 to 1,000 yuan per month. Sometimes they make as much as 5,000 yuan. That’ s much higher than average salaries in the area.This year, the city has set up a center to sell these works. Art fans from more than ten countries and regions have bought paintings.1. How was life for the disabled people in the past?A. They had to stay at home and had little chance to find jobs.B. According to the law, they led very restricted lives.C. With the help of the government, they led a comfortable life.D. They had to learn to paint to earn a living.2. From the passage we can learn that ________.A. the disabled had to earn a living by workingB. all the disabled have found jobs and become financially independent these yearsC. the disabled people’s living situation has improved greatly in recent yearsD. more and more disabled people will learn to paint3. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ____.A. Dunhua has set up a center to sell knife-drawing worksB. perhaps some of Wu Zihe’s paintings could be brought abroadC. only the disabled people’s paintings could be sold to foreignersD. people who like knife-drawing art have bought the disabled people’s paintings4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A kind of folk art in China.C. A knife-painting training center in Dunhua.D. China helps the disabled find jobs.B5. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather than others6. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improveD. consider7. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problemB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help8. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winner’s Opportunity.B. A Winner’s Secret.C. A Winner’s Problem.D. A Winner’s Achievement.CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days.live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond l20 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs ( The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on—in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.9.According to the passage, human death IS now mainly caused by .A、diseases and agingB、accidents and warC、accidents and agingD、heart disease and war10.In the author’ s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies in .A、medicineB、the InternetC、brain cellsD、human organ11.Humans may live longer in the future because .A、heart disease will be far away from usB、human brains can decide the final deathC、the basic materials of cells will last foreverD、human organs can be repaired by new medicine12.We can learn from the passage that .A、human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB、humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC、much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD、we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDAmong all the malignancies (恶性肿瘤), lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 10,000 Americans die of the disease a year. Giving up smoking is one of the obvious ways to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene (胡萝卜素).The finding, published in the British medical journal ＴｈｅＬａｎｃｅｔ, is a part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease.

河南省洛阳市八中2013-2014学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题一卷（满分70分）一阅读理解（满分30分）AEven small cuts can become infected if they are left untreated. Any break in the skin can let bacteria (细菌) enter the body. But taking good care of any injury that breaks the skin can help prevent an infection.Medical experts say the first step in treating a wound is to use clean water. Lake or ocean water should not be used. To clean the area around the wound, experts suggest using a clean cloth and soap. They say there is no need to use products like peroxide (过氧化氢).It is important to remove all dirt and other material from the wound. After the wound is clean, use a small amount of antibiotic (抗生素的) cream. They also help to keep the surface of the wound from becoming dry. Finally, cover the cut with a clean bandage while it heals. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean. As the wound heals, inspect for signs of infection including increased pain, redness and fluid around the cut. A high body temperature is also a sign of infection. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Seek help from a doctor.For larger wounds, or in case bleeding does not stop quickly, use direct pressure. Place a clean piece of cloth on the area and hold it firmly in place until the bleeding stops or medical help arrives. Direct pressure should be kept on a wound for about twenty minutes. Do not remove the cloth if the blood drips through it. Instead, put another cloth on top and continue pressure. Use more pressure if the bleeding has not stopped after twenty minutes. If the bleeding still does not stop, send for a doctor immediately.1. To treat a wound, you should NOT ______.A. clean it with sea waterB. clean the dirt around itC. cover it with a clean clothD. use peroxide2. What should a patient with a wound do if he has a high body temperature?A. Change the bandage daily and keep the wound clean.B. Put a small amount of antibiotic cream onto the wound.C. Do nothing as it’s not serious.D. See a doctor as soon as possible.3. The underlined word “victim” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______”.A. woundB. painC. bandageD. patient4. Which is the RIGHT order in dealing with large wounds or bleeding?a. Put another cloth on top.b. Cover the wound with a clean cloth.c. Hold the wound tightly.d. Wash the cut with running water.e. Send for a doctor if it is needed.A. a, b, c, dB. b, c, a, eC. d, b, c, aD. c, b, a, eBThe US space shuttle Discovery’s safe landing is an obvious comfort to NASA, which was forced to pause construction of the half-built space station three years ago when the shuttle Columbia broke up upon re-entry into the atmosphere.After landing, shuttle commander Steve Lindsey inspected the spacecraft and declared it free of da mage after its long journey. “This is my fourth flight, and I’ve never seen a vehicle that looked as clean as this one did.”That is important to NASA, because it worked more than three years to ensure that shuttles suffer as little damage as possible.NASA chief Michael Griffin attributes Discovery’s success to the new measures they had taken and a bit of luck.“This is as good a mission as we’ve ever flown, but we’re not going to get overconfident,” he said. “We have to take it flight by flight.”During Discovery’s two-week flight, the orbiter carried a third crew member to the space station, which has had only two since Columbia’s accident. It also hauled up new supplies and equipment, and its crew members made repairs to station system s critical to continuing the outpost’s construction. Michael Griffin said, “So with this flight, we are ready to get on with construction, and we will do just that.”Station construction restarts late next month, when the shuttle Atlantis is to deliver a pair of solar energy panels, new batteries and other components.Griffin points out that shuttle flights are always risky and that station assembly (装配) missions are the most complicated that shuttles fly. He says only 16 shuttle flights remain before the fleet is retired in 2010, and more orbiter troubles could be ruinous for the space station’s construction schedule.“We don’t have any leeway (松懈),” he said. “We have just enough shuttle flights left to do the job. So, we can’t afford to mess up.”5. From the passage, we learn that __________.A Steve Lindsey has travelled four times in spaceB. it took NASA less than three years to ensure that shuttles would suffer little damageC the shuttle Discovery forced NASA to pause construction of the space stationD. Discovery’s successful flight was due to luck6. What do we know about the shuttle Discovery from the passage?A. It broke into pieces on re-entry into the atmosphere.B. Its successful flight means NASA can continue constructing the space station.C. It sent solar energy panels and new batteries to the station.D. It carried two crew members to the space station.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Discovery is the worst damaged shuttle after a flight that Michael Griffin has ever seenB. there will be many other shuttle flights in the near futureC. the space station construction will be continued soonD. the crew members haven’t repaired the space station8. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Space station construction to be continued.B. Space flight accident avoided again.C. Space shuttle Discovery lands safely.D. The space shuttle Discovery’s two-week flight.CBurns can be caused by fire, the sun, chemicals, heated objects or fluids, and electricity. They can be minor problems or life-threatening emergencies. Distinguishing a minor burn from a more serious burn involves determining the degree of damage to the tissues of the body. If you are not sure how serious the burn is, seek emergency medical help.First-degree burns are those in which only the outer layer of skin is burned. The skin is usually red and some swelling (肿大) and pain may occur. Unless the burn involves large portions of the body, it can be treated at home.Second-degree burns are those in which the first layer of skin has been burned through and the second layer of skin is also burned. In these burns, the skin reddens intensely and blisters (水泡) develop. Severe pain and swelling also occur. Second-degree burns require medical treatment.Third-degree burns are the most serious and involve all layers of skin. Fat, nerves, muscles, and even bones may be affected. Areas may be charred black or appear a dry white. If nerve damage is substantial, there may be no pain at all. These burns require emergency medical attention.Follow these steps when treating minor burns at home1) If the skin is not broken, run cool water over the burn for several minutes.2) Cover the burn with a sterile (消过毒的) bandage or clean cloth.3) Take aspirin to relieve any swelling or pain.Seek emergency treatment immediately for major burns. Before an emergency unit arrives, follow these steps1) Remove the person from the source of the burn (fire, electrical current, etc.).2) If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (人工呼吸) immediately.3) Remove all clothing to stop further burning. If the clothing is stuck to the burn, do not attempt to remove it.4) Cover the burned area with a cool, moist, sterile bandage or clean cloth. Do not place any creams, ointments (药膏) or ice on the burned area or break blisters.5) Monitor the patient for signs of shock, and treat accordingly.9. The underlined sent ence in the first paragraph probably means “______”.A. They can be dangerous if you don’t treat them seriouslyB. They range from slight burns to deadly onesC. They seldom cause deaths even if not treated properlyD. They usually cause deaths if not treated properly10. Burns are divided into different degrees according to _______.A. what kind of treatment they needB. what kind of tissue of the body is damagedC. whether there is pain and what degree of pain there isD. which layer of skin is burned11. From the passage we learn that _______.A. if there is severe pain, then you need medical treatmentB. first-degree burns don’t require medical treatmentC. burns without pains can be treated at homeD. the larger the swelling is, the more serious it is12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. you shouldn’t cover the burn with a bandage or cloth if it is severeB. you shouldn’t move the person unless you know how to do first aidC. you shouldn’t run cool water over the burn if the skin is b rokenD. you shouldn’t place any wet towels on the burned areaDFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservationis the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.13. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.14. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.二完形填空（满分30分）Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.

Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 71 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green –eyed monster” and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 72 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money givento others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.73 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people u sing their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”74 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 75 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.二卷（满分50分）班级：_________ 姓名：___________ 考号：___________四语法填空(每空1.5分，满分15分)One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival.

People like them because they are interesting and useful.In London there is a TV programme called “Police Five”. It takes five minutes a we ek. A TV reporter talks about crimes(犯罪) in London. He asks people for help, because the police station needs their help.The TV reporter shows picture of lost painting, lost cars and other lost things during the week. Sometimes he shows the picture of the car that the thieves(贼) drove away. When people see the picture of such things on TV, they may remember something so that they may tell the police where or when they saw them. With their help the police may catch more thieves.Sometimes the police find a car or something expensive that has ever been lost, the TV reporter shows them on TV.

New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of (不赞成) these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality (质量) of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite (明确) answer.61. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. The Right to LiveB. The Right to DieC. The Doctor’s DutyD.

They were among the first people on the ship who were rescued by lifeboats. Cao’s one-year-old son was the youngest passenger on board.The “Liaoludu 7” was traveling in the Bohai Straits from Lvshun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 2:30 pm and tilted(倾斜) on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry began to sink.“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump onto a lifeboat,” Cao recalled.Upon receiving the mayday appeal (紧急呼救), China Marine Search and Rescue Centre immediately informed the State Council. The center sent eight lifeboats to the fishing boats.After more than four hours of fighting strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were recovered. All but four survived. These four died after spending too long time in the freezing waters, according to a spokesperson for the Beijing-based center.66. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The film “Titanic” had been on show again in Shanghai.B. Cao Min and her children experienced the terrible accident.C. “Liaoludu 7” with all passengers on board were saved.D.
