AEmily and Zach are confused! Their parents told them they could choose between Massachusetts and Arizona for their vacation this summer.Emily has always wanted to visit Boston, the capital of Massachusetts. Zach and she both agree that walking along the Freedom Trail would enable them to see Boston's most famous places of historic interest, like the site of the school Ben Franklin attended and the Old State House. If Emily and Zach went toMassachusetts, they could spend a few days at the beaches on Cape Cod. Emily loves body boarding, and Zach is great at body surfing. They both enjoy building sand castles with their mom and dad.Zach finds learning about Native Americans wonderful and has always wanted to travel along the Apache Trail in Arizona. This mountain highway passes Native American ruins in Tonto National Forest. Emily is not as interested in traveling along this trail as Zach, but they both would like to visit Phoenix, the capital, and then travel to Grand Canyon National Park and Meteor Crater (陨石坑). Zach learned in science class that Meteor Crater is a hole over 4,000 feet wide and 520 feet deep that was created when a huge object from space fell to Earth. The object went so deep that it has never been found. Zach would really like to try to discover it. But Emily thinks if experienced scientists and researchers cannot find it, Zach might as well not even bother (费工夫) to try.The only drawback for Zach and Emily if they choose Arizona would be the heat. It is very hot and dry in this southwestern state. Massachusetts, on the other hand, is in the northeastern United States. Here Zach and Emily and theirparents could enjoy mild (温和的) temperatures. Their parents love hot weather, but Zach and Emily do not really like to sweat.How will they ever decide to which state they should travel? If only they could take two trips!21. Emily and Zach will spend their summer vacation _____.A. visiting their parentsB. learning how to swimC. doing some sightseeingD. living with Native Americans22. Compared to Emily, Zach is more interested in _____.A. designB. sportsC. beachesD. history23. The underlined word “drawback” in Paragraph 4 means _____.A. valueB. reasonC. interestD. disadvantage24. What would be the best title for the text?A. A difficult choiceB. An interesting planC. An unforgettable tripD. A personal experienceBIn the U.S., speaking more than one language fluently is not very common — except in Los Angeles, California. The city has one of the largest populations in the U.S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. More than half of them in Los Angeles are bilingual (会说两种语言的).Maria Elena Burgos, a mother of two American-born daughters, is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children. “We want to keep Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.” Ms. Burgos thinks being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.。

第I卷（选择题）第一部分： (共三节，满分50分)第一节阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）AHundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. 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 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 as well and also fell asleep one by one.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside,taking care not to make a sound. Closer and 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. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their nationalflower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A. Roman army and North EnglandB. a brave people and the ScotsC. England and ScotsD. Roman army and the Scots2. The Romans climbed up the hill quietly because ________.A. they wanted to catch the four guards firstB. they didn't want to wake the ScotsC. they wanted to reach the topD. they were afraid of the sharp needles of the thistle3. The people of Scotland made thistle their national flower because ________.A. it is a beautiful plantB. it was the thistle that helped the Scots to win the battleC. it had so many sharp needles all over itD. it is fresh and lovelyBBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By trac king people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to makethe list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”4 .What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. Research papers.B. News reports C .Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations．5. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’re good at telling stories.C. They’re careful with their words.D. They’re inconsiderate of others.6. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A. Sports news.B. Personal accounts.C. Sciencearticles. D. Financial reviews.7 .What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News Beats Bad on Social NetworksB .Online News Attracts More PeopleC. Reading Habits Change with the TimesD. Sad Stories Travel Far and WideCIn her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, forthat matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible.8. According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.A. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsB. too much importance is placed on sports in AmericaC. American high schools complain about sports timeD. PISA plays a very important role in America9. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.A. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lotB. high expectations push up American students’ academic performanceC. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performanceD. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance10. The purpose of this article is to _______.A. compare Polish schools with those in AmericaB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions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。

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。

Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my littlebrother.” The girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry.” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard this and asked, “What kind of miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my mon ey.”“How much do you have?’’ asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more.” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for your little brother.” He took up the girl’s hand and said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.How much did the miracle cost?4. What was the trouble in the little girl’s family?A. Her brother was seriously ill.B.

In the eyes of the little girl, a miracle might be ______.A. something interesting.B. something beautiful.C. some wonderful medicine.D. some good food.6. What made the miracle happen?A. The girl’s love for her brother.B. The medicine from the drugstore.C. The girl’s money.D. Nobody can tell.7. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.A. the doctor didn’t ask for any pay.B. a miracle is sure to happen if you keep on.C. the little girl is lovely but not so clever.D. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought.CA group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their teacher. Their conversation soon turned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress (压力) in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of the cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you’re very successful now.”“All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but y ou chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”8. The students who visited the teacher ______.A. are satisfied with their workB. are successful in their studiesC. are strict with each otherD. are successful in their work9. The teacher noticed that the students ________.A. liked the cheap cupsB. only took the best cupsC. were drinking coffeeD. preferred the coffee to the cups10. Why did the students have the stress in the work and life?A. Because they really wanted coffee.B. Because they didn’t have good cups.C. Because they didn’t pay enough attention to life itself.D. Because they didn’t have money to buy coffee and cups.11. From the story, we know the teacher wanted the students to enjoy ______.A. the cupsB. the coffeeC. lifeD. money and positionDSome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales (鲸鱼).A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected (被感染的).Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against alimit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.12. According to the passage, which of the following is increasinglydangerous to sea creatures?A．the sound of cars. B．the sound of voices.C．man-made noise pollution.D．the sound of steps. 13．According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT________.A．sounds made by animals themselvesB．ocean drillingC．underwater earthquakesD．the breaking of ice fields14．Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?A．The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.B．Different places may have different types of noises.C．The decibel is not a right unit (单位) for measuring underwater noise.D．Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises. 15．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A．They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.B．They will protect animals from harmful noises.C．They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels.D．They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution.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出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解The U.S. Department of Labor statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.1．It's implied but not stated in the passage that ________ .A．many other countries are facing the same problemB．white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workersC．fewer students will prefer to go to college in the futureD．the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education2．Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?A．Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.B．Many parents want their children to go to college.C．High school teachers urge their students to go to college.D．Every young man and woman wants to go to college.3．By saying that“many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author mea ns that ________ .A．many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB．many people who do not have enough money go to collegeC．many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD．many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed4．We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _______ .A．every young man and woman should go to collegeB．college education is a bad thingC．people with a college education should receive higher payD．fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobsOne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like“I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say,“I was wrong, and you were right about that.”I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons.) Then he related an incident (event, matter) and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at the time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the piles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.5．Which is the correct order of the following?a. I forgot all about the incident.b. I went into the store.c. A woman knocked off the egg cartons.d. I stood in front of the egg cartons.e. The manager reminded me of the incident.f. The manager didn't believe my explanation.g. I picked up the unbroken eggs.A．b; d; g; c; a; f; e B．b; d; c; g; f; e; aC．b; c; d ;g; e; f; a D．b; d; c; g; f; a; e6．The word “reprimanded” in the last paragraph most exactly means “_________”.A．frightened B．scoldedC．warned D．comforted7．The best title for this passage should be________ .A．A Case of Mistake B．The Manager I Never ForgetC．The Manager and I D．An Incident 15 Years AgoOne morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream.He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.Elias Howes was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dr eams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.8．The problem Howe was trying to solve was________.A．what kind of thread to useB．how to design a needle which would not breakC．where to put the needleD．how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle9．Thomas Edison is spoken of because _____ .A．he also tried to invent a sewing machineB．he got some of his ideas from dreamsC．he was one of Howe's best friendsD．he also had difficulty in falling asleep10．Dreams are someti mes called“secret messages to ourselves” because ________ .A．strange images are used to communicate ideasB．images which have no meaning are usedC．we can never understand the real meaningD．only specially trained people can understand them二、七选五What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? 11．According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.12．According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a g ood thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. 13．Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.14．There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas. They don’t have enough food to eat. Many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 15．It’s also impor tant that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.A． Students’ waste is extremely serious.B． China, in turn, features its own eating culture.C． But canteen waste is extremely the tip of the iceberg.D． Students can never realize the serious food crisis.E. Compared with them, some live in a different world.F. So there’s no excuse that we should waste our food.G. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.三、完形填空We’ve heard it before---we’ve heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents －children and teenagers today are growing up too fast.

It is also one of the most visited places in the world. Vehicles cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well withthe natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses，the Golden Gate Strait.The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County，California. Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船)．Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934.Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction. However，11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net. Still，this was a new safety record for the time.The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water. The total length is 2737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today，the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.4.The Golden Gate Bridge was named after ________．A．the local climate B．the color of a paintC．the strait it crosses D．its natural surroundings 5.The purpose of suspending a special safety net is to ________．A．protect the environment B．make construction easier C．prevent workers from falling D．save building materials from falling6.What do we know about Joseph Strauss?A．He attached importance to the workers' safety.B．His safety measures were not of practical value.C．He built the first suspension bridge in the world.D．He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.7.The passage is written to ________．A．invite readers to San FranciscoB．introduce the Golden Gate BridgeC．describe how the Golden Gate Bridge was builtD．tell the story of an engineer called Joseph StraussCGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽）, and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitnesseven more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.8. The first paragraph focuses on _______.A. the greatest challenge of group exerciseB. the most effective way to improve physical fitnessC. the contribution of group exercise to psychological healthD. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups9. The underlined word "upbeat" in the second paragraph probably means " __________.A. cheerfulB. averageC. seriousD. temporal10. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary___________ .A. to sustain a colorful lifestyleB. to party on weekends with positive peopleC. to try a fun healthy restaurant regularlyD. to surround yourself with supportive people11. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Seeking SupportB. Supporting HealthC. Improving Your StrengthD. Building Up FitnessDMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer”and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the longhours alone at a typewriter. “You've got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had not prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if ? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.12. The passage is meant to________.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career13. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.14.“people who die wondering. What if?” ( Line 5, Para. 3) refers to “those ______”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death15. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one's imagination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。

I.阅读理解（共两节，每小题2分，共30分）第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

（每小题2分，满分20分）ADo you like air travel with a service dog? Air travel makes some people very nervous. The crowds, the noise and flying itself can cause unease. But there are classes people can take to help them defeat their fear of flying. And, let me introduce similar training for service dogs that suffer the same problem Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for. You will see them working on buses, trains and other public transport systems. But the busy environment found at an airport can trouble even the best trained working dog.People with disabilities depend on their dogs. They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas. They also need the dogs to remain calm on duty on the plane, even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training. The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found.The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight. It is called a flight simulator, which was built for filming airplane scenes in movies.Sandy Alexander has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog, Doc, to be always at his side. Mr. Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips. He says Doc did not like the bumpy part of the flight simulation( 模拟).Dog trainer Mary Segall is with Canine Companions for Independence. It provides dogs for people with disabilities. Ms Segall says successful training is based on a simple rule: preparation." Dogs need to be exposed gradually and repetitively to stimulation, to the environment, to loud noises, to sounds and to other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis, they are able to act in a way that they're used to acting and that they don't get excitable."Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flight. Their dogs also seem ready for take-off.1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By asking a question.B. By introducing a novel.C. By comparing fear of flying.D. By giving an example.2. Why is Sandy Alexander's example given in Paragraph 5?A. Because he likes dogs.B. Because his dog is clever.C. Because he will play a role in a film.D. Because the author wants to develop the following paragraphs.3. From the last paragraph we can draw a conclusion that ________.A. the training is very easyB. service dogs don't like flying with their ownersC. service dogs adapt themselves to the stimulation slowly.D. dog owners are satisfied with trainingBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-hearted drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or awave, or thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical example is the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total jams that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time that all of us took this message to heart.4. According to the writer, a good driver should __________.A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he sees itC. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feelD. encourage children to cross the roads whenever they want to5. Troubles on the road are often caused by _______.A. great speedB. traffic jamsC. terrible road conditionsD. the behaviors of the drivers6. It is not always right for drivers to ________.A. master roadmanshipB. create atmosphere of good willC. encourage old ladies to cross the roadD. give a friendly nod to show politeness7. What's the best title of the passage above?A. Road PolitenessB. Traffic JamsC. Good MannersD. Modern DriversCParents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was their parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks."They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. "A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."8. The underlined expression "parental involvement" in paragraph 1 probably means _______.A. parents' participation in children's educationB. parents' expectation on children's healthC. Parents' plan for children's futureD. parents' control over children's life9. What is the major finding of Robinson's study?A. Parents are not able to help with children's homework.B. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.C. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.D. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.10.The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should _______.A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. take a more active part in school managementC. set a specific life goal for their childrenD. spend more time improving their own lives第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AEinstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.1. The conductor thought Einstein .A. wasn’t good at mathsB. had good memoryC. was either mad or strangeD. liked to make trouble2.

A woman with white hair is a white-haired woman. Children who have good looks are good-looking children. What do you do when you want to buy clothes? You go to a shop. If you can find clothes that are the right size for you, and if they are ready to wear, you will probably buy them. They are called ready-made clothes. If you can not find clothes that are the right size, you will go to a tailor’s shop. A tailor is a man who makes clothes. He will measure you carefully and will then make clothes for you. Such clothes are called tailor-made clothes.What do we call a man who is dressed badly? We call him a badly-dressed man. A woman who is dressed well is called a well-dressed woman.What do you wear when it rains heavily? You wear a coat that will keep the rain out. Such a coat is called a raincoat. It is made of waterproof cloth—cloth that does not let water pass through. We have a lot of rain in England. If you come to England, bring a raincoat and an umbrella. You will find them useful.If the floor, walls and ceiling of a room are made so that sound cannot pass through the wall, we say that the room is sound-proof. There are sound-proof rooms in all broadcasting stations.4. The clothes which you buy from the supermarket are called ________ clothes.A. tailor-madeB. ready-madeC. hand-madeD. mass production5.

If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.9. What’s the advantage (优势) of the small cars?A. There won’t be so much pollution and the small cars won’t be so expensive as the big ones.B. It will be safer to drive these small cars.C. There will be more space for cars to park.D.

The quality（质量） of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence（影响) all over the country. However, the Washington Post and the New York Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain of Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed（详细的）accounts of national and international news，Like the press（报刊） in most other countries，American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information，for they have to compete with the attraction of television. Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few news papers support extremist（极端主义者）groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate（温和的). Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views，As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible（负责任的）or irresponsible，but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals（丑闻），for example，the Watergate Affair（水门事件）12.Which newspaper in the U. K. is national？A. Le Monde.B. Washington PostC. New York Times.D. The Times13. Most American newspapers attract readers by carrying ________.A. national newsB.C. international newsD.14.

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.

英语-甘肃省兰州第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次月考试题

甘肃省兰州第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共50分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIt is a popular Internet thing to focus on the upside of being in your 30s, and it is nice to know how to do basic modern-human-being things like paying your taxes and cooking a simple meal. But it can be a less-encouraging story at work: People in their late 20s to early 40s tend to report lower levels of job satisfaction and higher levels of emotional exhaustion than other age groups, according to new research.There’s an obvious reason: These tend to be the ages when people have young children at home, and the researchers did find that this group reported feeling increasingly crunched for time. But adding to that pressure, coworker support also tends to decline at this age. Some researchers interpret the findings:Support from co-workers probably decreases in midlife as peers compete for limited resources（promotion bottlenecks are often encountered during this career stage. Also, whereas younger co-workers are often hungry to make up new social networks, and older workers seek identity-affirming work experiences in their remaining tenure（任期）, mid lifers find it demanding enough just to maintain existing social networks. Meanwhile, time pressure likely increases as colleagues are all trying to enrich their own knowledge and experience.But the good news is that after about a decade of struggle, things start to pick back up again. Occupational psychologists say that happiness at work recovers when people reach their 40s, and that people in their 50s are more satisfied with their jobs than any other age group. Hang in there, 30-somethings-soon you will be older, but at least work will meet less frustration（挫折）!1. What can we learn about people in their 30s according to the text?A. They tend to feel less emotionally exhausted.B. They are more satisfied with their work.C. They may feel more pressured at work.D. They don’t know how to do basic modern-human-being things.2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2?A. pressedB. encouragedC. relaxedD. satisfied3. Why do people in their late 20s to early 40s have less support from co-workers?A. Because they have a family to support.B. Because they are eager to form new social networks.C. Because they try to seek identity-affirming work experiences.D. Because they are faced with strong competition in promotion.BFour years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout?

The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return.Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For any one who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really nice women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally bankrupt myself.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable cau ses. Another is by donating all of the“un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”She used the social media website to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she say competition for desirable fashion can be strong.“We hav e to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”7. At a clothes swap what can women do?A. Make some money by giving away unwanted clothing.B. Buy whatever clothing they like.C. Have a social gathering and make friends.D. Exchange unwanted clothing for something different.8. What can be learnt from what Daphne Steinberg said?A. The clothes swap was the largest ever in the area.B. She got some nice clothes at the clothes swap.C. It was the first time she had been to a clothes swap.D. She saved much more money than she had expected.9. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.B. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.C. What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.D. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Clothes swaps often go out of control in the end.B. Clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with women.C. Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled.D. More clothing swapping events need to be organized.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AArthur Miller（1915-2005）is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century．Miller`s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s．Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go．Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end．When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama．It was the first play to win all three of these major awards．Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the eveningof February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway．1．Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA?A．He suffered from severe hunger in his home country．B．He was attracted by the "Great American Dream．C．He hoped to make his son a dramatist．D．His family business failed．2．The play Death of a Salesman ________ .A．exposes the cruelty of the American business worldB．discusses the ways to get promoted in a companyC．talks about the business career of Arthur MillerD．focuses on the skills in doing business3．What can we learn about Willy Loman?A．He treats his employer badly． B．He runs the Wagner Company．C．He is a victim of the American system． D．He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues．4．After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman ________ .A．achieved huge success B．won the first Tony AwardC．was warmly welcomed by salesmen D．was severely attacked by dramatists5．What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family． B．The awards Arthur Miller won．C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced． D．Arthur Miller and his best-known play．BLast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montanasoil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, bu t Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more n atural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies o ver the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft based on theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disc onnected from life,” Morris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were lessstressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.6. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.A. Twitter is having a hard timeB. old cottages are in need of protectionC. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in MontanaD. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology7. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world8. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.A. have destroyed many per-industrial artsB. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines9. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.A. positiveB. defensiveC. cautiousD. doubtful10. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Past Glories, Future DreamsB. The Virtual World, the Real ChallengeC. High-tech Companies, Low-tech OfficesD. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity第二节：阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）What is life's greatest gift? 11 . Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) ourlife. The tool doesn't come free，however，for the price of choice is responsibility.12 . The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 13 . We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey.We need to ask questions：Am I moving closer to my goals? If not，what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myselfto my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.14 . And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess game. 15 .A．It is free will or choice.B．You have to make choices every day.C．Make the best moves you can under the circumstances.D．But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.E．Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.F．Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get. G．Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.第二部分：英语知识运用（共四节，满分65分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. Whatis its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meantto change the usual method of teaching in order to 16 students’ stronginterest in computers?Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students.

In other words, in a period of 10 weeks,a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject 22 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 24 to see the policy through.Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forcedto 25 the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning has just started. All teachers —including the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, but who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 28 from the very beginning. They will become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every school, and have 30 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may put the daily teaching 31 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time for IT learning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to his 33 through the computer before class comes to an endin order to “complete” his IT learning34 . 35 the teachingof the Chinese language is concerned, do computer lessons really achieve the desiregoals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common values and so on?I am not so sure.16.

ATaobao is a major online shopping website in China.For those who just love to shop online, now is the best time of the year, because Nov 11, China’s Singles’ Day, will see some seemingly irrational discounts, in line with the tradition that was started in 2010.Last year, Taobao, a major online shopping website, set a record of 1 billion yuan in sales on that day alone, with a whopping 19.1 billion yuan exchanging hands on the website. The number of items sold paralyzed the delivery services due to overloading. On the verge of yet another a nnual spending spree, it’s worth reading up on tricks and tips to make the most of the shopping carnival.Be preparedSelect goods early and rationallyPut everything you want in the “shopping cart” to make a list of potential purchases. Then go through it carefully, removing anything you selected on impulse.Seal a deal in advanceTalk to service staff as early as possible. They may have already decided on a discount policy for Nov 11 and may even ship the product to you in advance, which is a good way to avoid the heavy online traffic on the special day.Manage your budgetPopular items will be in strong demand, so make sure you’re ready to pay with the least number of procedures. It’s best to deposit a reasonable amount of money in your Alipay account so that you can pay without going through any lengthy verifications. Ifyou’re planning on using a credit card, you can call the bank to apply for more credit, but only spend as much as you can afford to repay.Look at the real itemsWith many products, such as shoes and clothes, it’s better to look at them first to check their quality, size and appearance and ensure you’re buying the right one. Be smartIt’s all about timingAccording to Alipay, there are several peak hours when online traffic is heavy and there is a higher risk of failed transactions. Try to avoid the following time spans: 12 pm-1:30 am, 10-11 am, 3-5 pm, and 8-10 pm.Apps as a helping handSmartphone apps like Huihui Shopping list the best offers on a particular website, while Yitao, a software developed by Alibaba, compares prices of selected items across different websites to bring you the best deal.Track and open your packageBecause of the huge demand, delivery mistakes are inevitable, so try to track the package. If the product is perishable, keep the tracking record in case of a dispute. When the package arrives, check the item carefully before signing for it. Now you can go ahead and enjoy all your new stuff!1.What does the underlined word “irrational” mean?A. AmazingB. UnexpectedC. ReasonableD. Irregular2. With some money in Alipay account, you can .A. spend as much as you can afford.B. get the best deal with irrational account.C. save much trouble and time when you pay.D. pay with the most number of procedures.3. Which is true according to the passage?A.You can buy anything you want on the website on China’s Singles’ Day withoutconsidering your power of consumption.B. Delivery mistakes are impossible though there is a large demand on that day.C. Taobao set a record of 19.1 billion yuan in sales on Singles’ day.D. You are less likely to make a deal during peak hours.BThe number of accidents involving pedestrians (行人) wearing headphones is on the rise, a report suggests, causing fresh warning from road safety groups in Britain.A US-based study found a total of 116 reports of death or injury to pedestrians wearing headphones between 2004 and 2011, jumping from 16 in 2005 to 47 in 2011.Most victims were men (68%) and under the age of 30 (67%), with around one in ten of all cases (9%) under the age of 18.Some 89% of the cases occurred in urban areas and more than half (55%) of the victims were struck by trains .Eighty-one of the 116 accidents (70%) resulted in the person’s death—even though a warning was sounded in around a third of the cases.The study concluded, “The use of headphone may be a safety risk to pedestrians , especially in environments with moving vehicles（cars）. Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threa tens pedestrian safety.” British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.Floor Lieshout, director of Youth For Road Safety, said, “ This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic. It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic.”Andrew Howard , who is the head of road safety at the Automobile Association, added that some pedestrians can be “so focused in their own little world th ey forget the world going on around them”.That can include headphone wearers, Howard said, but also people talking on phones.However, Howard said that more researches needed to be done.Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them .Ian Harvey, at the charity Civic Voice, said that “ to defeat isolation and to help build a civic(文明的) society, people need to interact(交往) with each other .He said, “ A basis for any civilized society is communication—Surfing the web, listening to MP3s, reading blogs or sending e-mail is not interacting with a person; it’s interacting with a machine.“If people feel socially isolated, they need to ha ve more face-to-face interactions with other human beings and in time, will begin to feel happier and more connected to the world and place they live in.”4. What does the text mainly discuss?A. Safety problems caused by wearing headphones.B. Recent research on the risks to pedestrians .C. The advantages and disadvantages of headphones.D. Traffic accidents in the United States.5. We can learn from the Us-bases study that _________ .A. most accidents were caused by carsB. most victims died in the accidentsC. most accidents happened in the countrysideD. most victims are under eighteen6. Howard will probably agree that ____________ .A. it is safe if you wear headphones in a proper wayB. it is dangerous to talk on phones while walkingC. most people wear headphones because of lonelinessD.people wearing headphones are more likely to go blind7. What Lan Harvey said shows the importance of ___________ .A. beating isolationB. new technologiesC. building a civilized societyD. communication between peopleCWith the rapid development of China's economy,m ore and more foreigners begin to learn Chinese because they are beginning to realize the importance and growing influence of China.Pupils in Warwickshire will soon be learning Mandarin after new links were forged(建立联系)with a region in China.Head teachers from the county spent a week in Shenzhen in South-east China, making links with schools and touring different education establishments.Schools that took part are now looking to introduce Mandarin lessons. Pupils from schools in Warwickshire and Shenzhen are starting to write and e-mail each other and plans are being made to share lessons over the Internet.The trip was arranged by Warwickshire County Council and funded by the British Council as the first stage of development of a range of ties with the economically booming city.International development officer Judith Young said: “We are entering an exciting period of school relation between Warwickshire and Shenzhen. There is a real appetite for sharing ideas among the Chinese. We were able to see the differences and similarities between the education systems and there are many areas in which our schools, teachers and pupils will be able to benefit from a different cultural perspective(观点)and links with a country that is becoming very important on the world stage.Throughout the high profile(引人注目)visit led by our county education officer, Eric Wood, our group was made to feel very welcome and attracted a great deal of interest. Our visit to a primary school was featured as the main news item on television that night. A mark of how highly the visit was valued is that plans are being made for a return visit to Warwickshire of civic leaders, senior education officials and school principals.”8. Head teachers from Warwickshire came to Shenzhen_________.A. to get in touch with Shenzhen schoolsB. to pay a return official visitC. to have Mandarin lessonsD. to have sightseeing9. How does Judith Young feel about the future co-operation?A. Upset.B. Confident.C. Disappointed.D. Unsure.10. Which might be the best title of this passage?A. Warwickshire Teachers in Shenzhen.B. Sharing Different Education Ideas.C. Schools in Warwickshire Forge Chinese Links.D. Sharing Lessons on the Internet.第Ⅱ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。

This advertisement is made more believable by ______.A. using recommendationsB. offering reasons for this inventionC. providing statisticsD. showing the results of experimentsBWinters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,〞my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment aheadI was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支〕then, an eight-foot stick. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.“Look at how hard it's trying!〞I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.〞 Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick〞put forth a few leaves,then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy bluesky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.4. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. busyB. hardC. longD. warm5. How did Dick rescue the new subdivisionA. By supporting the stick firmly.B. By watering the stick regularly.C. By distributing chemical fertilizer.D. By gathering sticks day and night.6. What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraphA. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.B. To imply that she’d spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.7. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passageA. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. There is no garden without its weeds.C. Success is the accumulation of sweat.D. Where there is life, there is hope.CPeople aren’t walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I was n’t in any hurry, either, I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune〔免疫〕, for I was bored in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrhams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercises. A person whoavoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.8. What is the national sicknessA. Walking too much.B. Travelling too much.C. Driving cars too much.D. Climbing stairs too much.9. What was life like when the author was youngA. People usually went around on foot.B. People often walked 25 miles a day.C. People used to climb the Statue of Liberty.D. People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship.10. The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that _____.A. middle-aged people like getting back to natureB. walking in nature helps enrich one’s mindC. people need regular exercise to keep fitD. going on foot prevents heart disease11. What's the author's intention of writing this passageA. To tell people to reflect more on life.B. To recommend people to give up driving.C. To advice people to do outdoor activities.D. To encourage people to return to walking.DMusicOpera at Music Hall: 1243 Elm Street. The season runs June through August, with additional performances in March and September.
