When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.41. ________ are formed little by little.A. Good habitsB. Bad habitsC. Both good habits and bad habitsD. Either good habits or bad habits42. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to________.A. bad habitsB. good habitsC. childrenD. other persons43. Generally speaking, it’s difficult for one________ and easy for them ________which should be avoided.A. to form bad habits; to form good habitsB. to form good habits; to form bad habitsC. to form such habits as will be good ; to get rid of bad habitsD. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits44. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?A. Because habits can help everyone to achieve success.B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.C. Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.45. According to the passage, early rising________.A. has something to do with successB. is an easily formed habitC. is such a habit as should have avoidedD. is such a habit as will be keptBSPECIAL EVENTS THIS WEEKENDCaptain GoodfellowDo your children enjoy interesting stories, funny games, and exciting dances?

US concertC. a music groupD. going to give the concert at 8:00 amCHow to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my fate(命运), my destiny. I cannot change it.”Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other externalfactors. (外界因素)I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you reap（收获）what you sow（播种）. You just don’t sit around and wait fora million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively(积极地); you also have to act positively.If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.51. According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life _______.A. Doesn’t need improvingB. couldn’t be improvedC. will be better somedayD. Will be worse in the future52. What does the author think of the woman’s life?A. Tiring.B. Satisfying.C. Colorful.D. Passive(消极的，被动的).53. Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?A. If you pray, things will turn out fine.B. Your luck can be changed by your effortsC. You can only achieve success when God wills it.D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.54. In Para. 5, the author emphasized(强调) the importance of _______.A. positive actionB. positive thinkingC. hope for the bestD. intention to succeed55. The text is mainly written to advise you to _______.A. understand yourselfB. improve your lifeC. believe in yourselfD. change your normal wayDIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctorsmight make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.56. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.A. the time is too short for doctorsB. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fixD. the blood-cooling machine might break down57. The brain operation was made possible mainly by .A. taking the blood out of the brainB. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machineD. lowering the brain’s temperature58. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs59. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?A. send the cooled blood back to the brainB. stop the blood to the brainC. have the blood cooled downD. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d,60. Dr. White tried his idea on .A. some patientsB. the machinesC. the persons’ damaged brainsD. monkeys.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

甘肃省武威十八中2017—2018学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。
AHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to declare war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die. ”They were all very tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots up. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland.The thistle (蓟)is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland like it so much that they made it their national flower.1. At the shout of a Roman soldier, all the Scots who were asleep at the hill ________.A. woke and rose immediately, ready to fightB. stood up without putting on their shoes and began to fightC. began to fight the Romans hardD. put their feet into their shoes at once and were ready to fight2. The result of the war is that __________.A. the Romans killed all the ScotsB. the Scots were defeatedC. the Scots defeated the RomansD. the Scots were driven out of Scotland3. The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle __________.A. is lovely, though not beautifulB. helped the Scots in wiping out the RomaC. is a kind of useful plantD. gives them happinessBSingles’Day—the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China’s “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country.There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural—usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio(性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men.Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country.Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance,there is evidence that China’s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.4. In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born?A. 50.B. 52.C. 60.D. 58.5. What made women in China get married late?A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy.B. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.C. Their higher education level and more work chances.D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.6. What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?A. Concerned.B. Optimistic.C. Indifferent.D. Unknown.7. We can learn from the passage that .A. Singles’ Day is celebrated all over the worldB. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crimeC. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriageD. Singles’ Day will solve all the problems China’s singles faceCMany people now have problems with sleep. Drinking milk is helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cow’s milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.8. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________.A. started sleep more easilyB. were less activeC. were more anxiousD. woke up later9. Which of the following is true of melatonin(褪黑激素) in according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It’s used in sleeping drugs.D. It exists in milk in great amount.10. What can be a suitable title for the next?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health11. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By providing research results.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By stating arguments.DEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than thosepeople who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.12. The first paragraph tells us ____.A. what is the feeling of having no friendsB. we always need friends around usC. making friends is a need in people’s lifeD. we need to be alone in our life13. Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. A town.B. A room.C. A school.D. A library.14. Why do people who have friends live longer?A. They feel happier and healthier.B. They know more about friendship.C. They take less care of themselves.D. They care more about their friends.15. This passage mainly tells us _________.A. that people are all friendsB. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD. how to name a place.第二节：七选五( 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入能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年第一学期武威五中高二年级英语试卷第一卷一、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）AHolidays in the United States usually come at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends—that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel, or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year's Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day, are celebrated all over the country. Duringthese holidays most businesses closeand the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 5 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it's difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.1.

People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.11.A good title for this reading passage is______.A. Popeye the SailorB. The Truth About SpinachC.A Mistake with NumbersD. Folic Acid Makes You Strong12. Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A. They thought spinach made them strong.B. They thought Popeye was funny.C. Spinach had a lot of iron.D. People liked folic acid.13. A research group told people that spinach______.A. made Popeye strongB. was a green vegetableC. had less iron than other green vegetablesD. had more iron than other green vegetables14.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.A. ironB. folic acidC. spinachD. exercise15.Folic acid is ______.A. something in foodB. a vegetableC. dangerousD. a certain kind of spinach第二节、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。

that，in 2016，over 18million people attended classical concerts in Germany？That's more people than those who went to main league football matches!Earlier this year，Germany continued its celebration of classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg．Germans are incredibly proud of it and it's the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit．Known as the ‘Elphi' by the locals，the Elbphilharmonie is a beautiful tower of glittering glass sitting atop an old warehouse by the banks of the river Elbe．The plaza （露天广场） is open to the public and from the middle of the city's tallest building，you can gaze across the harbour，miles of rooftops and passing ships below．The main concert hall seats over 2000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world．Two smaller concert halls arc used for jazz，world and contemporary music．In addition，if you're unbelievably rich，you can buy one of the 45 luxuriousapartments lying within the building．Construction began in 2007 with a budget of€241 million and a two﹣year period．Fast forward ten years，the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg，but unfortunately I haven't yet been able to attend a concert．Everything is sold out for six months!For now，I'm content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive views over the clocks and see the innovative architecture up close．Hopefully one day soon，I'll be lucky enough to grab a last﹣minute concert ticket!4．What does"it"in Paragraph 1refer to？A．Germany．B．Hamburg．C．A new concert hall．D．Its celebration of classical music．5．What is Elbe？A．A hall．B．A river．C．A lower．D．A warehouse．6．What can we learn

hall．D．The majority of audience arc likely to pay for the luxurious apartments．7．What happened after the Elbphilharmonie opened？A．I was invited to visit it．B．Few concerts have been held．C．The performance was well received．D．People find it easy to get concert tickets．COn Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada．Being from the UK，I had no idea what this would need，but he promised me it was a fun Catalan（卡塔兰） tradition，and so I agreed to go．I wasn't disappointed!First，we took a train out to a Small town near Tarragona，about an hour away from Barcelona centre．I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns，all sitting on the coastline．When we arrived，we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle．While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana，at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing!It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves．Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers，we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was．We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks （大葱） was placed in front of us．It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers，dip them in a （delicious!）sauce and eat them．This sounds easier than it was．My friend had been right in the end，it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home．It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture，although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!8．What made the author accept his friend's invitation？A．To experience a different tradition．B．To get a further knowledge of his friend．C．To free himself from the pressure of studies．D．To make a record of Catalan traditions．9．How did they go to a small town near Tarragona？A．By taxi． B．By train． C．By water． D．By bike．10．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs？A．The author was tired of eating leeks．B．They participated in the local dancers．C．The author doesn't think the Catalan culture is perfect．D．The author had a thorough research on Italian traditions．11．What is the best title for the passage？A．Traveling with a Friend AbroadB．A Special Dish Astonished MeC．A Day's Journey Changed MeD．Taking Part in Traditions．DThat children are the hopes of our tomorrow is a statement that is repeated time and again．And it is an axiom （格言）； they are our pillars of the coming time．But then do we train them into becoming healthy human beings？Healthy human beings here are not meant the physical well being，but the good human king，that is，one with virtues and values keeps them in the state of working towards the benefit of humanity．How can children absorb within themselves the virtues and values？Well，this is the primary responsibility of parents and other immediate family members，followed by school authorities．The values and virtues of an individual is sown in their childhood and nurtured as they grow up．Depending on the way we bring up our children，we decide our own future．It is vital that in the formative years we give them quality time and attention．We teach them to discriminate the good，bad and the ugly．We have to teach them use positive emotions like love and compassion and teach them actions of kindness and generosity．At the same time we have to help them do away with the negatives of hatred，anger，jealousy，selfishness，etc．Your child is like a plant．You sow the seeds and also reap the benefits of its growth and development．First and foremost you as a parent．have to realize your responsibility in nurturing a child to grow into a good human being．And it is just not up to anyone of the parents，but both together to inculcate （谆谆教海） the values and virtues into your child．12．What should a good human being have？A．A good physical state． B．A good virtue or value．C．A good career in society． D．A powerful relationship net．13．What sense is the most important for kids to learn？A．Safety sense． B．Lifestyle sense．C．Transportation sense． D．Responsibility sense．14．Whom is the passage most probably written for？A．Family parents． B．Child experts．C．Health researchers． D．Primary school teachers，15．What does the passage mainly want to tell us？A．Children are parents'hope．B．Educating children is a tough thing．C．Parents take responsibilities for educating children．D．Parents have trouble in educating children．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项。

甘肃省武威第十八中学2017—2018学年度上学期期末考试高二英语试题第I卷（共两部分，满分70分）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A. B. C和D) 中，选出最佳选项并涂在机读卡上。
Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to declare war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight, my men," he said. "Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die."They were all very tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots up. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland.The thistle (蓟)is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland like it so much that they made it their national flower.1. At the shout of a Roman soldier, all the Scots who were asleep at the hill________.A. woke and rose immediately, ready to fightB. stood up without putting on their shoes and began to fightC. began to fight the Romans hardD. put their feet into their shoes at once and were ready to fight2. The result of the war is that __________.A. the Romans killed all the ScotsB. the Scots were defeatedC. the Scots defeated the RomansD. the Scots were driven out of Scotland3.The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle __________.A. is lovely, though not beautifulB. helped the Scots in wiping out the RomaC. is a kind of useful plantD. gives them happinessBSingles' Day ---- the Chinese opposite of Valentine’s Day has turned into a massive online shopping event. It is a day when single people are supposed to buy themselves presents. But there are sociological reasons behind China's “celebration” of single life. And the imbalance could have big consequences for the country.There were 34 million more men than women in China in 2011. Part of that is natural – usually there are 105 boys born for every 100 girls. But the Chinese gender ratio (性别比例) at birth is much more obvious. It was 116 boys to 100 girls in 2012. The one child policy is largely to blame. Brought in to limit population expansion, the policy allows only one child per family. But because male children are seen as more valuable, as well as more likely to support their parents in old age, some parents choose to have a son over a daughter. The result is that large numbers of men will likely never get married. In fact, one study has predicted that by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese men in their 30s will never have married, while another states that 94% of unmarried people in China are men. Traditionally, China has seen high levels of marriage, usually among the young. Besides, the increased education and career opportunities for women have meant that marriages are happening later. It is also traditional that women often marry men of a higher socioeconomic status than themselves. So women at the top and men at the bottom find themselves alone. One study has even suggested a link between an imbalanced gender ratio and growth in violent crime in the country. Singles’ Day can’t solve all the problems China’s singles face. Indeed, it is possible that it is causing even more problems, as men resort to increasingly risky lines of work to increase their chances of gaining money and thus a wife. I am worried that as money starts to overcome romance, there is evidence that China ' s marriage market is increasingly materialistic.4.In 2012, if 50 girls were born, how many boys were probably born?A. 50.B. 52.C. 60.D. 58.5.What made women in China get married late?A. Their support of the government’s late marriage policy.B. That they expect to enjoy their single time when young.C. Their higher education level and more work chances.D. That there are too many excellent young men to choose from.6.What’s the writer’s attitude to the imbalance gender ratio in China?A. ConcernedB. OptimisticC. IndifferentD. Unknown7.We can learn from the passage that .A. Singles' Day is celebrated all over the world.B. an imbalanced gender ratio is related to the growth in violent crime.C. by 2030, 1 in 5 Chinese women in their 30s will be out of marriage.D. Singles' Day will solve all the problems China’s singles face.CMany people now have problems with sleep. Drinking milk is helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off---if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of he calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommendingskimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.8. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________.A. started sleep more easilyB. were less activeC. were more anxiousD. woke up later9. Which of the following is true of melatonin(褪黑激素) in according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten timesB. It can make people more energeticC. I t’s used in sleeping drugsD. It exists in milk in great amount10. What can be a suitable title for the next?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health11. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examplesB. By providing research resultsC. By explaining statistical dataD. By stating argumentsDEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Someti mes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find outhow much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who do n’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.12. The first paragraph tells us ____.A.what is the feeling of having no friendsB. we always need friends around usC. making friends is a need in people’s lifeD. we need to be alone in our life13.Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. a townB. a roomC. a schoolD. a library14. Why do people who have friends live longer?A. They feel happier and healthier.B. They know more about friendshipC. They take less care of themselvesD. They care more about their friends.15. This passage mainly tells us _________.A. that people are all friendsB. that people need friendsC. how to get to know friendsD. how to name a place.第二节：七选五( 共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)。

He was jumping around between cars. We thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still there, trying to get someone to stop for him.We stopped and took a good look at him. He had no collar (项圈) and he was really thin. We guessed that he was abandoned (遗弃). He was clearly on the road for some time. He was covered with scars and new wounds. We thought that some of them were from fights with wild dogs or other wild animals.So we took him home, cleaned him and fed him a lot over the next two weeks. He gained over 10 pounds. Then we took him to the vet, who said he appeared to be in good health. The vet said the dog was about two or three years of age, according to the condition of his teeth. And the vet gave him all the required shots.We really loved this dog. He had obviously been mistreated but he was still so sweet. He had no manners, but he was a quick learner. He no longer tried to get on the bed, but he liked sitting in the chair. We thought he wanted to avoid being underfoot when our daughter was dancing, which she did often. She had stepped on him a few times. When that happened, he simply moved. He did not growl (狂吠) or bare his teeth.Since then, he had become a member of our family.13.
