There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries〔动脉〕when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University inJapan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A weeklater, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning.

Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date.

And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me.

According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosni an war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip toAustria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be more fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the tho usands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, reb uilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales,who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.”Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.77. Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.78. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80. Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory ’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touchscreen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷〔45分〕I.

So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice ---- safer than tobacco. Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them. They are powered by battery. However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control （CDC ）seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?The answer is children. Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns. More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. The devices had made them sick.Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health. He says the problem is regulation, meaning, the U. S. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. Mr. McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. Mr. McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes试卷第2页，共12页or is swallowed. It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. And too much nicotine can kill.Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. "So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest." E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. So, the U. S. Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing. 1、What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?A ．Dangerous.B ．Expensive.C ．Safer.D ．Cheaper. 2、Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes? A ．Parents feared that their children might get poisoned. B ．Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking. C ．Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device. D ．Children might get addicted to playing with the device. 3、It can be inferred from the passage that . A. the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes B. the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettes C. Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak is a heavy smoker D. smokers most probably can't quit smoking using e-cigarettes 4、What is Tim McAfee's opinion about smoking? A ．Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes. B ．Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick.C ．He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking.D ．He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes.It's time for your family to relax and have fun!

It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti （仙人掌）.In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding （圈养）and other conservation programs.8、The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2）probably means . A．dangerous B．gentleC．plant-eating D．flesh-eating9、Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?A．To keep itself cool.B．To get the food easily.C．To stay away from people.D．To avoid crocodiles' attack.10、How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?A．Two. B．Three. C．Four.

Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety. Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up w ords gave me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out somemore information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were,试卷第6页，共12页“What's for supper?”I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been.

AFailing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’ s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!The boarding school held “failure week” to ce lebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.“Young people from all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.“If they let the fear of failur e stop them from doing something, they are actually stoppingthemselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,”said Bruce.21. What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?A. To get the students involved in social activities.B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.C. To make the students study even harder.D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.22. During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________?A. taking risksB. learning from others’ experiencesC. trying something newD. trying to entertain themselves23. What can we learn from the passage?A、Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.B、Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.C、The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.D、The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-LoupRault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companionsare coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News,“The Tamagotchi in the early 1990swas really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over alovely puppy? But Rault argue s that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t haveto feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go ona holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets,short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that wecan bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animalslife stories. It’s the sa me with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robotdog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect ourattitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t needfood, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,”he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with livingand breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are inconstant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeatmight not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused byB. be beneficial toC. make a difference toD. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t w orry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. b dD.cd26. We can learn from the passage that___________.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.27. T he passage mainly tells us___________.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out.D. robot pets are coming.CLee’s mother Sun became unexpectedly pregnant while married to a disabled man. Doctors told her that because of a medication she had been taking her child would not be normal. She chose to continue with the pregnancy and in 1985 in Seoul, South Korea, little Hee Ah Lee was born with only two fingers on each hand, disfigurement of her legs, and slight brain injury. The hospital told Sun that she could not care for the child at home and her relatives wanted her to place the child for adoption in a foreign country. Sun, however, thought her baby would live a successful life.When Lee was a pre-schooler, Sun wanted her daughter to take piano lessons for two reasons. One was that she felt it would help her strengthen her hands so she could hold a pencil. The other was that she felt that if she could master the piano, she could master anything. For six months piano schools turned them down and then the one teacher who did accept the task got discouraged and wanted to quit. It was a three-month contest of wills between mother and daughter that led to a conflict in which Sun actually threw her daughter on the floor in frustration. But Lee got back up on the piano bench and for the first time played a children’s song. That was the turning point and one year later Lee won the grand prize in a piano concert for Kindergartners. It was at the age of 7 that Lee won Korea’s 19th Nati onal Handicap Conquest Contest and was presented with her award by the President of Korea.Lee has won numerous awards, and is a widely traveled concert pianist with more than 200 appearances. Her first album titled “Hee-ah, a Pianist with Four Fingers”was released in June, 2008.Lee speaks highly of her mother for challenging her to master the piano and said that although her training was difficult, “As time went by, the piano became my source of inspiration and my best friend.”28. Which of the following can best describe Sun?A. stubborn and devotedB. impatient and strictC. enthusiastic and hardworkingD. honest and responsible29. What was probably in Lee’s mind when on the floor?A. Learning piano was too difficult for her.B. Life was unfair to her.C. She would try her best to learn piano.D. Her mother didn’t love her any more.30. When was Lee awarded by the president of Korea?A. 1985B. 1992C. 2008D. 200731. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A 4-finger pia nistB. Love between mother and daughterC. Learning pianoD. An abnormal girlDEvery year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there’s spyware on the their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.Don’t fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here’s how.● Clean Your Computer and SmartphoneBefore you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy — or malware that may ha ve already infected your system. These days, it’s also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.● Secure Your WiFiIt’s fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they’re able to share your connection —that’s why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple o f years ago, it’s a good idea to refresh your settings.● Use passwordsWhat you’ve heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.● Check the shopping securityTake care when shoppi ng online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random email and start shopping online.Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.Don’t store informatio n on any store’s website. It may be convenient but it’s also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.32. This passage is mainly about ___________.A. ways of avoiding identity theftB. tips of freeing computers from virusesC. measures to ensure network securityD. steps to keep track of passwords33. To put new security measures into place, we need to ___________.A. clear out everything in the systemB. make a random selection of networkC. get rid of potential spywareD. refresh the infected system34. According to the passage, the risk of exposing personal information may possibly be causedby ___________.A. the applications of antivirus programsB. the practice of using public WiFiC. the difficult access to passwordsD. the separate credit card for online shopping35. Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?A. Adopting a unique password for every website.B. Shopping online at r eliable websites.C.

For more information, please visit .See you on Friday.21. Where should a runner go to pick up his packet at 8:30 am on Friday?A. Kings Point.B. Convention Center.C. Blue DomeD. BOK Center22. How long will the FITNATIC celebration last?A. Seven days.B. Five daysC. Two daysD. One day.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To attract sports fans to apply for the activity.B. To inform the race participants of the activity.C. To describe details related to the activity.D. To collect money for the parking-lots.BMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest.“Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr. George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago.A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.24. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the popularity of sweet coffee.B. an experiment made in Oxford.C. the effect of cup color on coffee’s tasteD. useful tips on how to make coffee.25. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?A. A white cup.B. A blue cup.C. A transparent cupD. A brown cup26. Café owners should consider their cups’ color in order to ______.A. reduce the daily expensesB. show their taste in coffeeC. appeal to more customersD. make their café different.27. We learn from the passage that_____.A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glassB. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.CWe should feel grateful in our heart when we accept anything others sacrifice for us. However, we often unconsciously do the opposite, which may not be regarded as returning kindness with ingratitude, but have the equal power to harm each other. In particular, the closer the relationship is, the more determined we are.Jennifer, my friend Randy’s mother, is already over 70, poor eyesight and weak legs. But due to her character, she chose to live alone in the suburbs. No matter how busily Randy works, he would go there to visit her once or twice every week.That day as soon as he parked his car, Randy smelt the delicious smell of meat coming from her mother’s house. His mother said, “Your birthday is coming next week, so I’m preparing pork trotters (猪蹄) for you!” Seeing the steaming delicious trotters, he couldn’t help complaining, “I don’t like these things at all, so fatty.”On his way back, he called me, saying that he felt sorry. In fact, he longed to thank his mother and eat up that bowl of trotters. But he felt sorry that it took her too much time and energy. If he didn’t stop her strictly, he was afraid the same thing would continue. He would rather not eat trotters any more than have his mother overwork. I understand how he felt exactly. Each of us has done like that. Because of feeling sorry for others’ sacrifice, we purposely harden our heart against accepting others’ favor and even criticize them severely in order to frighten theirgoodness away and make them never do that again.This method may work, but it will hurt each other’s feelings. It’s not wrong logically, but we always neglect another sound deep in our heart: because we’re afraid we can’t repay them, we’re unwilling to shoulder others’ goodness. So we reduce its value and refuse it severely. But to destroy others’ goodness is also to deny you.28. Randy refuse to eat the pork trotters his mother cooked because ____.A. he disliked them at allB. they were really very fatty.C. they we ren’t his favorite tasteD. he didn’t want her to overwork.29. Randy telephoned the author to _____.A. express his apology to his motherB. complain about his motherC. apologize for his rudenessD. ask for a bowl of trotters.30. According to the author, we sometimes say “no” to others’ favor so that ______.A. they can be frightened awayB. they won’t continue doing thatC. we needn’t repay them laterD. we won’t feel sorry for their sacrifice31. In the last paragraph, the author implies that we should ____.A. refuse others’ favor immediatelyB. deal with others’ favor wiselyC. repay others’ goodness activelyD. shoulder others’ goo dness completely.DFor a while, I wrote a “Tuesday tip” on my blog . It was about easy week-night dinners, organizing parties or perhaps finding time out for friends.About a year ago, I ran out of tips.The truth? As a busy working mom with five busy kids, I probably do have a few tips to share. But honestly, the bar is set pretty low---on a recent day when I was walking our dog, a stranger who knew I had five kids said, “Wow! You have a dog, too?! And it even looks like you showered today!” Yes, it’s true, I shower. Not every day, but most days. See, I’m telling the truth. Honestly, in this cold winter, I’m probably taking a shower more to warm up than to clean up.Other funny truths? I’m tired. In fact, for the past year, I’ve been too tir ed to type up any update on our life here in Lyons Den. It’s hard to arrange a career with all these kids. Although folks just believe that it must be so much easier now since all the kids are in school, I’m here to tell you, it’s not. It’s really not. When I get home from work, I’m often tearfully greeted by five kids and five homework folders filled with math facts, invitations, notices and artwork.All those happy smiling faces I share on Facebook are real. We are a happy family---thank God for that! But we’re not always smiling, and even in those rare best times when I can get all five kids looking at the camera, the odds would be that one of them isn’t wearing underwear, one is pinching (捏) someone behind the scenes and one is just perfectly pronouncing “Damn!” So, less perfectly-posed pictures, but more telling the truth. Even if only on Tuesday.32. It seems that the author’s life used to be _____.A. tiringB. busyC. relaxingD. funny33. Which of the following is true about the author?A. She can’t get along well with her neighbors.B. She’s living a happy life with her familyC. She likes to have a shower every day.D. She has already closed her blog now.34.

AMy 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety．Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “ Your son is OK．”When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine．I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked．”Yeah," was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest． The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore．In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good．Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?"I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and headfor the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep．21. Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?A. He was an excellent swimmer．B. The water of the river is shallow．C. He was old enough to swim．D. The rocks can be of help if there's danger．22. The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means________.A. Anton is a boy fond of sw imming with other kidsB. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinksC. Anton always has a desire to help othersD. Anton seldom changes his mind23. In the mother's eyes, what her son did was_________.A. dangerous but interestingB. meaningful but difficultC. unexpected and courageousD. awful and absurd24. What might be the best title for the passage?A. My Son, My HeroB. Anton, A Silent BoyC. A Good DeedD. A Proud MotherBThe Cuban iguana is a species of lizard（蜥蜴） of the iguana family. It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident．The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）．In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build theirnests. Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养）and other conservation programs．25. The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2） probably means ．A. dangerousB. gentleC. plant-eatingD. flesh-eating26. Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?A. To keep itself cool．B. To get the food easily．C. To stay away from people．D. To avoid crocodiles' attack．27. How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?A. Two．B. Three．C. Four．D. Five．28. What's the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana．B. To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana．C. To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline．D. To draw people's attention to the endangered Cuban iguana．CIt's time for your family to relax and have fun! The following family adventures have links for you to get more information．Take the Rides of Your LifeVisit Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, to seek thrills "Even though it's located off the beaten track, experts regularly praise Cedar Point as the best overall theme park of the country," says U.S. News & World Report. The park calls itself the roller coaster capital of the world, and with 16 to choose from, it's hard to argue. It's open daily from May 10 through Labor Day; weekends only from Labor Day through November 2．Tickets start at $ 48.99 per person if purchased online．．Wander Free on a Dude farmDust off your cowboy boots and ready your cowboy hats for a visit to this Rocky Mountains paradise. Located in Augusta, Montana, "The farm has everything an aspiring cowboy or girl could long for," says Sunset magazine, including hiking trails, fishing trips, campfires with sing-alongs, and, of course, horseback rides. The large farm operates from June through September; kids-only and adults-only programs are available．Total cost starts at $ 1,360 per adult, $ 1,276 per teen, and $ 1,168 per child．．Dig for DinosaursMost kids （and adults） love dinosaurs, and to make their wildest dreams come true, head to Fruita, Colorado.

It lasts from May to October．Digs start at $ 125 per person．.Surf Sand DunesSwap your snowboard for a sand-board, and head to Sand Master Park in Florence, Oregon.

Wander Free on a Dude farmC. Dig for DinosaursD. Surf Sand Dunes31. Where will you probably find this passage?A. A science fiction．B. An adventure storybook．C. A travel magazine．D. A theme park advertisement．DWe know that cigarette smoking kills. So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice ---- safer than tobacco. Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them. They are powered by battery.However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC）seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarettepoisonings?The answer is children. Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns. More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. The devices had made them sick.Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health. He says the problem is regulation, meaning, the U. S. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. Mr. McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. Mr. McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed. It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. And too much nicotine can kill. Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. "So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest." E-cigarettes d o not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. So, the U. S. Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing.32. What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?A. Dangerous．B. Expensive．C. Safer．D. Cheaper．33. Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?A. Parents feared that their children might get poisoned.B. Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking．C. Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device．D. Children might get addicted to playing with the device．34. It can be inferred from the passage that ．A. the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettesB. the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettesC. Surgeon General BorisD. Lushniak is a heavy smokerD. smokers most probably can't quit smoking using e-cigarettes35. What is Tim McAfee's opinion about smoking?A. Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes．B. Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick．C. He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking．D. He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes．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。

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital. High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning. Volunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which 45 work-related stress is most likely to 46 .“Most people are free of the mental and physical 47 of work on Sundays and experience a more stressful change from weekend 48 activities to work activities on Mondays, ”said Dr. Murakami, who led the research.. “But anyway, there was a 49 peak on Mondays.”III.

At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a50 character than me.I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. Iwould try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkanfairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be mor e fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the thousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I neverhoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a.

Golden fish promise a good fortune.C .No pains, no gains. D. Give, and it will be given to you.(B)Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture（针灸）Author: Angela Hicks, John Hicks, Peter MoleItem RegularPriceAAMA PracticeMember Price95—53 $69．95 $59．45 Description: This exciting textbook gives a clear, detailed, and presentation of the main features of constitutional five element acupuncture68.

It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger princeor hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affectworkers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend –the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, el ectronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using anydevice with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device th ere’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（45分）I.

AVisitors worry that London is an expensive city but there really are so many free things to do here. The following ideas should get you started.All of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. And I love the Geffrye Museum which shows English domestic interiors and helps bring to life what it was really like to live in London.I regularly hear people tell me the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and Kensington Gardens nearby includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Playground and the Peter Pan Statue.No visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day in the winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations. Every December, Norway donates a marvelous Christmas tree, to thank Britain for liberation from the Nazis.21. Where can visitors find the Peter Pan Statue?A. in Regent's Park.B. in St. James's Park.C. in Hyde Park.D. in Kensington Gardens.22. Which of the following descriptions is True?A. In the Geffrye Museum visitors can learn the history of London from Roman times to today.B. The Queen Mary's Rose Gardens is in Buckingham Palace.C. There is the Queen's Guard change inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30 am every day all yeararound.D. Trafalgar Square is both a tourist attraction and a place for political demonstrations.23. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A .compare some free places in London. B. advertise some free places in London.C. recommend some free places in London.D. expose some free places in London.BBEIJING - A research team led by Chinese scientists have discovered dietary modulation of gut microbiota （膳食干预肠道菌群）can alleviate both genetic and simple obesity in children.The findings of the team, led by Zhao Liping with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Yin Aihua with the Guangdong province children's hospital, and Tang Huiru with Chinese Academy of Sciences, have been published on EBioMedicine, a renowned medical journal co-sponsored by Cell and The Lancet in July.The team identified bacterial genomes specifically for producing obesity-related metabolites（代谢物）, and said an improved gut microbiota can significantly help to treat genetic obesity such as Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS).Beginning in childhood, PWS affected kids develop an insatiable appetite, leading to chronic overeating and obesity.The scientists used a diet therapy with beneficial gut bacteria on trial patients and found considerable diminished appetite, weight loss and improved health conditions on the patients.The paper concluded dysbiosis （失调）of gut microbiota is highly related with both genetic and simple obesity in children, implicating dietary modulation of gut microbiota a potentially effective treatment method.24. Which of the following factors contributes to child obesity?A. dietary modulation of gut microbiotaB. beneficial gut bacteriaC. an improved gut microbiotaD. dysbiosis of gut microbiota25. Which can replace the underlined word “diminished”？A. unsatisfiedB. increasedC. decreasedD. good26. Where is the passage extracted?A. Medicine book B Science book C. Doctor’s instructions D News report27. Which might be the best title for the passage?A. Chinese scientists discover treatment to child obesity.B .The reasons for genetic obesity in children has been found.C. Obesity-related research has been done by Chinese scientists.D. An effective treatment to obesity has been found.CGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed aboutattitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.28. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease29. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Approving.B. Afraid.C. CuriousD. Uninterested.30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To present the change of views on dirt.DWelcome to your future life!You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the c ells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sle eve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example --- what will be the next?32. We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A. people will never get oldB. everyone will look the sameC. red will be the most popular colorD. clothes will be able to change their pattern33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Milk will be harmful to health.B. More drinks will be available for sale.C. Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.D. Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.34. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A. Fridges will know what people need.B. Jacket sleeves can be used as a guide.C. Cars will be able to drive automatically.D. Nothing can replace the Internet.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Future technology in everyday life.B. Food and clothing in 2035.C. Medical treatments of the future.D. The reason for the success of new technology.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。

AAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex's parents that if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces (支架).She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤)had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植)and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.”She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other k ids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $2,000 for “her hospital”.People from all over the world, moved by h er story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey—and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (基金会).21. It can be learned from the text that Alex ______.A. couldn’t walk until she was fourB. was the only daughter of the ScottsC. held her first lemonade stand in 2001D. was born with cancer22. Why was Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospit al.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.23. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.24. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Determined.C. Innocent.D. Energetic.BDobson Ranch Housing Association1000 Sidewinder RoadMesa, AZ 85202October 15Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon 1442 Saddleback RoadMesa, AX 85205Dear Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon,I am writing this letter to congratulate you on your new purchase of a house in the Dobson Ranch area. We feel that this is one of the best neighborhoods of high quality in the city of Mesa, and we are happy to be able to call you neighbors.For your information, there are a few things we would like to tell you. One is that there are certain duties that go with living in Dobson Ranch. In order to keep property (房地产)values at the highest possible levels, we insist that everyone who lives in Dobson Ranch take care of their property. This means that the grass needs to be cut regularly, branches of the trees and bushes should be cut off, and there should be no unattractive additions to houses, nor should houses be painted in colors like red or blue. If you want to make any additions to your house, you need our permission first.The people of Dobson Ranch also have monthly meetings to discuss various issues of concern in our community. You are welcome to attend. We typically hold meetings on the first Saturday of every month at 7: 00 PM at the Dobson Ranch Community Center. You will receive a notice via e-mail a few days before every meeting as a reminder. We hope that you will join us as much as you see fit.Again, welcome to the neighborhood, and I look forward to meeting you soon.Sincerely,Juan Sanchez PresidentDobson Ranch Housing AssociationOctober 20Dear Mr Sanchez,Thank you very much for your letter welcoming us to the neighborhood. My wife and I appreciate your concern, and we also appreciate you letting us know about the various rules that apply to this neighborhood. Please do not worry about us. No matter where we live, we always try to beneighbors taking care to do our work pr operly. We too are well aware of property values. To be honest, we are actually pleased that there are regulations that must be obeyed. In the past, we have had neighbors who have not taken care of their homes and yards; at least we know that we will not have to worry about that here.As for the meetings, thank you for your kind invitation, but I’m afraid that you probably won’t see us too often. My work takes me out of town, so when I’m not traveling, I prefer to stay home. Similarly, my wife works long hours at the hospital and prefers to spend her days off relaxing at home. However, if we have the time, we will try to make it to a meeting. Again, thank you for welcoming us.Sincerely,Fred Deacon25. Why do peo ple who live in Dobson Ranch need to take care of their homes?A. To ensure that no one complains about how the area looks.B. To make the neighborhood look as good as possible.C. To keep the property worth as much as possible.D. To be good neighbors.26. What does Fred Deaco n think about the rules at Dobson Ranch?A. He agrees to them.B. He thinks they require too much.C. He would like to discuss them later.D. He feels that they are not severe enough.27. For the in vitation to the monthly meetings, Fred Deacon responds that ______.A. he will attend regularlyB. he will attend with his wifeC. his wife will attend aloneD. neither he nor his wife will attend very oftenCFor many years, machines have been doing work that people once did, including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area where they may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings: the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot, called DRC-Hubo, won the first place in the competition. The second and third place winners were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform, but more difficult for machines. Not all of the competitors were successful. The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric, a company that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can? but they are able to work without becoming tired. He says robots cannot taste food, change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor (风味).But he says ifa food can be easily prepared, a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home. Masayo Moti says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot. Suzumo Machinery showed its sushi (寿司)maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food. Hiroshi Monden is an official with the company. He says people all over the world now eat sushi, but there are not enough skilled workers to prepare it. He says his machine can help anyone make sushi.28. In Paragraph 1, the author tells us ______.A. robots just do difficult jobsB. robots are sometimes dangerousC. robots are widely used in our lifeD. robots are gradually replacing humans29. Why did some teams fail at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals?A. Their robots cannot be applied at home.B. Preparing food is really difficult for robots.C. Their robots can just repeat the same movement.D. They f ailed to design effective walking robots.30. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. Japanese men are lazyB. robots are popular in JapanC. Japan has advanced high technologyD. robots usually take the job of making sushi in Japan31. In which column can we probably see the text?A. Education.B. Culture.C. Health.D. Science.DZheng Penyu: Interest is the best teacher. Classrooms that weren’t fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. At the same time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. All in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students’ passion for studying.Sun Yao: Despite its benefits, I’m worried about whether the new system would work. Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. Also, not all schools could offer so many diversified classes.Shi Zhenhan: I support students learning in different classes. It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult. Teachers could also teach more effectively. What’s more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.Zhou Qingqing: in my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students’psychological(心理的)development. They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.Hu Qile: I applaud the idea. It would help teachers set up special teaching plans fordifferent classes. For students, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. Changing classrooms could also help relive the boredom of doing the same dull routine(惯例) every day.Wang Xiaoqiang: The new system might help with students’individual development, but I still prefer the current system. Studying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.32.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The new system will work if great measures are taken.B. All the schools can’t afford so many diversified classes.C. Students will have more time to relax.D. He supports the system because of its benefits.33.Among the following people, who prefers the new system?A. Sun Yao.B. Hu Qile.C. Zhou QingqingD. Wang Xiaqian34.What is the passage about?A. Schools should offer diversified classes to students.B. Students find it difficult to develop friendship.C. Different opinions about changing classroom.D. Changing classroom can help with students’ individual development.35.Which of the following can best replace the word” applaud” in paragraph 5?A. hateB. opposeC. favorD. benefit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。

He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when the train came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. "I will probably protest loudly when you try to wake me up," He said to the conductor."But do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway. Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night time and the train had reached Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him. "I have never been so angry in all my life," Mark Twain said.The conductor looked at him calmly. "You are not half as angry as the American whom I put off the train at Dijon, "he said.听力：1---10 BACAC BBCBA 11--- 20 CBCAB ACABB阅读：21---25 BCCAC 26—28 DAC 29---31 BCA 32-- 35 BADC36---40 FEGDC完形填空：41---45 .

河南省陕州中学高三英语上学期第一次月考试题
2015-2016学年上期高三第一次月考英语试卷时间：120分钟满分：150分第I卷（选择题共70分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分）AComic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They shouldbe obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.21. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character22. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.23. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveBA Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around—the—world journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane’s wings stretch 72 mete rs across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the sun’s energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first none—stop flight around the world in a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots.The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot’s seat is also a toilet.The plane’s route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China（the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. Theywill cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane’s location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.24. How long will the flight last?A. About three months.B. About four months.C. About five months.D. About half a year.25. The plane’s wings are made so wide in order to ________.A. fly more smoothlyB. get enough energyC. look more beautifulD. make sure of its safety26. The scientists have made Solar Impulse 2 to _______.A. cut the cost of making a planeB. go on a tour around the worldC. show their ability in science and technologyD. prove it’s possible to fly with solar energy only27. What is the best title for the text?A. A long flight without fuelB. The first solar—powered planeC. Solar—powered plane starts its world tourD. A plane with the longest wings in the worldCThe age at which kids first fall victim to bullying (欺侮）could influence how strongly they are affected，suggests a new study. And，surprisingly，it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects，but particularly when it begins in adolescence，the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal (口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression，anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get overit， but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin，US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1，500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state，judging by signs of anxiety or depression，such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain embarrassing situations，such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔)，people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence，with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.The best solution in all cases was strong social support，whether from friends，family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most. So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on，suggests Newman. “They may get stressed，but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. ”28. What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The age at which they are first bullied.D. The person who first bullies them.29. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newmanand his colleagues?A. Some are likely to be more aggressive.B. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.30. What does the underlined word “humiliation” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Carrying out an important plan.B. Being made to feel ashamed.C. Trying hard to survive an accident.D. Feeling hopeless in an emergency.31. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescenceare reflected in .A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to bullyingD. the type of bullying they receiveDPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chancesof catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (per sonality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it cannot hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.32. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.33. The phrase “full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits34.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should be those__________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimisticC. Who are open-minded and outgoingD. Who have trouble with their noses35.The last paragraph implies that __________.A. positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B. people who have been less negative tend to catch colds.C. Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D. positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.In the same time: In Houston, a woman had just return ed from her husband’s funeral(葬礼). He was a minister of many years who had been “called home to glory” following a heart attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:To: My Loving WifeFrom: Your Departed HusbandSubject: I’ve arrived!I’ve just arrived and have been checked in.

The woman’s husband died of a heart attackBRob Coulter worked in the wild of South Africa. He knew the animals, insects, and reptiles（爬行动物）of Africa very well. Rob knew them so well that he became careless.One night, while camping alone, Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm. Rob didn't think much about it. But a little later, his arm began to ache. When he looked closely at it, he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm. He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him. His pulse became rapid.Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive. Rob knew that he should remain calm, stay still, keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything, especially anything with alcohol in it. He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea.He used his two-way radio to call for help. As he waited, he washed the bite with soap and water. To help slow the spread of the venom（毒液）, he wrapped a bandage two inches above the bite and made it loose enough to slip a finger under it so that it would not cut off the flow of blood. Then, after about half an hour, his friend Mike arrived. Mike took Rob to the local hospital, where Rob was given antivenin—an antidote for snake venom.Rob still enjoys camping, but he is now very careful not to disturb snakes.41.

That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits,particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence （发生率）of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels. 48．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB．the changes in people’s dietC．the effect of fish eating on people’s healthD．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures49．We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.A．in the countries with high consumption of fishB．in highly-developed countriesC．in countries of the yellow-skin raceD．in the countries with good production of fish50．The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to t he connection between ________ and the incidence of heart disease.A．the amount of fish eaten B．regular fish-eatingC．the kind of fish eaten D．people of different areas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项。

They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.In the same time: In Houston, a woman had just return ed from her husband’s funeral(葬礼). He was a minister of many years who had been “called home to glory” following a heart attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:To: My Loving WifeFrom: Your Departed HusbandSubject: I’ve arrived!I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful(平静)as mine was.P.S. Sure is hot down here.36.

What mistake did the husband make after checking into the hotel?A. He checked into a wrong hotelB. He forget to bring the laptopC. He forgot to mail his letterD. He misspelled her wife’s address38. The expression “called home to glory” p robably suggests that the man had .A. died and gone to heavenB. called his family to say helloC. been awarded an honorD. gone back to his hometown39.

The woman’s husband died of a heart attackBRob Coulter worked in the wild of South Africa. He knew the animals, insects, and reptiles（爬行动物）of Africa very well. Rob knew them so well that he became careless.One night, while camping alone, Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm. Rob didn't think much about it. But a little later, his arm began to ache. When he looked closely at it, he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm. He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him. His pulse became rapid.Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive. Rob knew that he should remain calm, stay still, keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything, especially anything with alcohol in it. He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea.He used his two-way radio to call for help. As he waited, he washed the bite with soap and water. To help slow the spread of the venom（毒液）, he wrapped a bandage two inches above the bite and made it loose enough to slip a finger under it so that it would not cut off the flow of blood. Then, after about half an hour, his friend Mike arrived. Mike took Rob to the local hospital, where Rob was given antivenin—an antidote for snake venom.Rob still enjoys camping, but he is now very careful not to disturb snakes.41. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A travel magazine.B. A book review.C. A lesson plan.D. A news report.42. How did Rob realize that he had been bitten by a snake?A.

Stay calm and don't move.B. Run for help as fast as possible.C. Drink alcohol to stop the poison.D. Cut the wound and suck the poison out.44. The underlined word "antidote" in Para. 4 probably means something that is used to_____.A. reduce the painB. resist the poisonC. make people calmD. kill the virusCThe Museum: The Charles Dickens Museum in London is the world’s most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator（时事评论员）.

That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits,particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence （发生率）of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol（胆固醇）levels. 48．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB．the changes in people’s dietC．the effect of fish eating on people’s healthD．the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures49．We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.A．in the countries with high consumption of fishB．in highly-developed countriesC．in countries of the yellow-skin raceD．in the countries with good production of fish50．The phrase “this relationship” in paragraph 6 refers to t he connection between ________ and the incidence of heart disease.A．the amount of fish eaten B．regular fish-eatingC．the kind of fish eaten D．people of different areas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项。

高三英语月考试题及答案-陕州中学2016届高三上学期第一次月考
2015-2016学年上期高三第一次月考英语试卷时间：120分钟满分：150分命题人：高三英语命题组第I卷（选择题共70分）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分）AComic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-color comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.21. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character22. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.23. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. braveBA Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around—the—world journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane’s wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the sun’s energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first none—stop flight around the world in a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots.The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot’s seat is also a toilet.The plane’s route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China（the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane’s location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.24. How long will the flight last?A. About three months.B. About four months.C. About five months.D. About half a year.25. The plane’s wings are made so wide in order to ________.A. fly more smoothlyB. get enough energyC. look more beautifulD. make sure of its safety26. The scientists have made Solar Impulse 2 to _______.A. cut the cost of making a planeB. go on a tour around the worldC. show their ability in science and technologyD. prove it’s possible to fly with solar energy only27. What is the best title for the text?A. A long flight without fuelB. The first solar—powered planeC. Solar—powered plane starts its world tourD. A plane with the longest wings in the worldCThe age at which kids first fall victim to bullying (欺侮）could influence how strongly they are affected，suggests a new study. And，surprisingly，it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects，but particularly when it begins in adolescence，the researchers say. People subjected to either verbal (口头的）or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression，anxiety disorders or to behave violently. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it，but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin，US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1，500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state，judging by signs of anxiety or depression，such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react tocertain embarrassing situations，such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔)，people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence，with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.The best solution in all cases was strong social support，whether from friends，family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on，suggests Newman. “They may get stressed，but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on. ”28. What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study?A. The reason why they are bullied.B. The place where they are first bullied.C. The age at which they are first bullied.D. The person who first bullies them.29. What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and hiscolleagues?A. Some are likely to be more aggressive.B. They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.C. Most of them will respond to bullying normally.D. Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.30. What does the underlined word “humiliation” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Carrying out an important plan.B. Being made to feel ashamed.C. Trying hard to survive an accident.D. Feeling hopeless in an emergency.31. The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflectedin .A. the support they get from the societyB. the effect bullying has on themC. the way they react to bullyingD. the type of bullying they receiveDPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it cannot hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.32. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.33. The phrase “full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits34.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should be those __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimisticC. Who are open-minded and outgoingD. Who have trouble with their noses35.The last paragraph implies that __________.A. positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B. people who have been less negative tend to catch colds.C. Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D. positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.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。

AMy 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words ga ve me relief: “ Your son is OK. ”When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.I hurried over to him. "You OK?" I asked.“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him, but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day.

It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards. This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean.The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses. However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs. The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident.The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti（仙人掌）.In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands. One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests. Although the wildpopulation is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈养）and other conservation programs.25.The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2）probably means .A. dangerousB. gentleC. plant-eatingD. flesh-eating26.Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?A.

Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them. They are powered by battery.However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC）seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?The answer is children. Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices. In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns. More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger. The devices had made them sick.Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health. He says the problem is regulation, meaning, the U. S. federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine. Mr. McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger. Mr. McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed. It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance. And too much nicotine can kill.Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do. He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes. "So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest." E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes. So, the U. S. Surgeon General Boris D. Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use.But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless. They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes. In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing.32.What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?A. Dangerous.B. Expensive.C. Safer.D.
