AWhat’s it like to be a popular teen author? We asked Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, author of In the Forests of the Night to find it out.How do you come up with your ideas?I start with a minor character, and then expand on that character. In the first book, I just wrote some flat characters to pass the time. Eventually, I wanted to know more about the characters I’d created. The first things I wrote weren’t very good, but they did get me to start writing, which was important.How has your writing evolved?Every book I write, I get more into it. History is one of my passions(酷爱) right now. Sometimes I’ll take inspir ation from characters in Ancient Egypt, Rome, or Mesoamerica. My first characters were flat, but now they’re like my best friends.How did you feel when your book was first published?It came as a shock. The first time I saw my book in print I could bare ly believe it. I had to tell myself, “This is real. I’m not dreaming.”What does your writing space look like?I mostly write on the computer in my room. I can write anywhere as long as it’s quiet. I also do writing in notebooks.How do you make time for your writing?Writing is one of those things that you will make time for if you want to do it. When I have something to write, I’ll need to write it. If you love writing, you will make time for it.Do you think reading helps writing?Definitely. When you read, you get used to visualizing things in print. I’m not a big television fan, so I have always spent a lot of time reading. You learn to see things in words. You figure out how to express yourself in words. You learn the basics, and then get the ideas for your writing.What’s your advice for aspiring(有志向的) kid writers?Go out and do it. Find other people who write. Keep at it! You can always edit. Every author is his or her own worst critic. If you love to write, just do it．21．What do we know about Amelia?A．Historical characters inspire her to write.B．She likes to create perfect characters from the beginning.C．She considers In the Forests of the Night as her best novel.D．Flat characters once stopped her from improving her writing.22．When Amelia first saw her book in print, she was ________.A．amazed B．disappointed C．confused D．unconcerned 23．Which advice would Amelia most likely give us?A．The best time to write is before you go to bed.B．It is easier to start writing when you are young.C．If you want to write, there is no excuse for not writing.D．If you want to be a writer, you shouldn’t watch television.BIt would be a success story if Fullerton Union High School senior Fernando Rojas, the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade, was accepted to college. But the 17-year-old made a surprising clean sweep of every Ivy League(常春藤联合会的) college.“I didn’t think I would get into any,” Rojas said on Saturday. “When I was accepted by all the e ight Ivy League colleges, it was a surprising joy.” The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks, calls, emails and letters followed from Dartmouth College, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Princeton University. Rojas was also accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and the California State University, Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas and Maria, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s. As a national speech and debate champion, Rojas thought that if he applied to the eight Ivy League colleges, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas’ speech coach at Fullerton, said, “His biggest motivation was to let his parents know that their hard work meant something.”After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64,000 a year with room and board(膳宿). He is responsible for $6,000, and Yale scholarshi ps cover the rest. “I loved Princeton,” Rojas said. “It was a beautiful campus, but it felt very stressful. Stanford was too big.”Rojas owes his academic success to hard work and the guidance of his elder brothers. Before heading to Yale, he’s consideri ng majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer in international affairs. 24．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 shows that Rojas ________.A．hoped to apply to all the eight Ivy League colleges B．contributed greatly to every Ivy League college C．was admitted by all the eight Ivy League colleges D．1iked sweeping in every Ivy League college 25．Which of the following belongs to the Ivy League colleges?A．Cornell University. B．Stanford University.C．The University of California. D．The California State University.26．How much can Rojas get from Yale University a year?A．$6,000.B．$58,000. C．$64,000.D．$70,000. 27．Which of the following helped Rojas achieve his academic success?A．His brothers’help.B．His parents' encouragement.C．His interest in Latin American studies. D．His dream of being a lawyer in international affairs.CIt is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better places for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity(生物多样性), the greater the psychological well-being(健康) of the city’s citizen s. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provided local ecologists with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.The pioneering work in Berlin had several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Südgel?nde Nature Park. “Berlin h as indeed benefitted a lot from being a case study inurban ecology,” said Lachmund.The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural spaces within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3.6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.28．The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link between ________.A．citizens and their well-being B．green spaces and urban wildlifeC．urban ecology and citizens’ well-being D．functioning ecosystems and the natural world 29．What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlin’s work?A．Cautious.B．Negative. C．Uncaring.D．Admiring.30．The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show ________.A．the negative effect of overpopulation B．the importance of urban ecosystemsC．the serious problems of city life D．the rapid growth of urban areas31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Should more people live in urban areas? B．Should Berlin have more natural spaces?C．Should cities be for animals and plants too? D．Should the global population be controlled now?DOne day last month, I read a story about two teachers who gave awards to their students. The awards were 1abeled the “8th Annual Ghetto(贫民区) Classroom Awards,” They were intended to be “light-hearted” and the teachers didn’t mean anything bad. One student was recognized for his academic difficulties with the award.The world learned about i t because his mother posted it on social media. She wasn’t proud. She was angry, confused and hurt for her son. Did I mention that the students to whom the awards were given were in a class for kids who receive special services for learning disabilities? Y es, the “Ghetto Classroom” was the special education classroom.When I read this story, I was sure of three things：That student got the message that he was a loser; he would never forget those teachers; he would head to high school without a lot of confidence.Humor can be tricky. I learned this the hard way, in my first year of teaching. Someone mentioned that one of my students, whom I had placed into the “athletic” category, had taken ballet lessons for years, and I gently teased her for it. At least I thought it was gentle. I also thought it was okay, until the day when she came to me after class and told me that it hurt her feelings and she’d like me to stop.I’m thankful every day that she had the courage to talk to me. Over the years I think I f igured out how to throw away my sarcastic(挖苦的) wit(风趣) and learned how to have humor without being hurtful.It’s really quite simple：You can make fun of yourself in a self-deprecating(自我贬低的) way, but never make fun of your students.32．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the awards were most probably given to ________.A．draw the attention of parents B．make students in the class laughC．encourage students to study harder D．please those who had made progress33．In the author’s opinion, the award ________.A．showed the teachers were really funny B．would affect the student negativelyC．would be encouraging to the student D．meant the teachers disliked the student34．What was the girl’s attitude toward the authors teasing?A．Uncaring.B．Interested. C．Annoyed.D．Approving. 35．After reading the text, we learn that teachers shouldn’t ________.A．make fun of themselves B．look down upon their studentsC．joke about their students for fun D．try to be funny in front of students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。

Hehad been here only l0 minutes and already he had them on his side. Andbefore long,he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don't understandwhy you are so touchy(易怒的).” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn't understand.”He followed me. “I should, Karen,” he said. “You and I have a lot in common.You are too tall, and I'm too short.”“You seem to get along well.” I admitted. “But what about me？ No boy wantsto date a girl who is taller than he is.”“The trouble with you is you're afraid to be yourself. You're smart. And youcould be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.”I felt myself turning red.“I'm getting a great idea,” said Carlos, and right then he suggested being mypersonal manager.I wasn't sure. “W-e-ll—”Soon after that, he had my new life planned.

I did measure myself and it wasan inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up andwrite it asa fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum.The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefullyresearching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spacemanbut who stayed on Earth to take part in the study.The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will dofurther analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishingthem.The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASAgreen lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more.32．What made Scott Kelly grow taller after he spent 340 days in space？A．Loneliness.B．Low amount of oxygen.C．The lack of gravity.D．Harmful effects of spaceflight.(in Para.”exaggerated…“the reports were saying mean Scott What 33．did Kelly by6)A．The reports were illegal.B．The reports were total lies.7C．He was annoyed about the reports.D．He did not grow that much.34．The job of Mark Kelly, Scott Kelly's twin brother, in the study is _______.A．to comfort Scott B．to compare with ScottC．to protect Scott D．to take care of Scott35．Why are the details of the studies secret？A．The studies are harmful to spacemen.B．Scientists have not finished their jobs yet.C．NASA does not permit giving out the details.D．The studies concern the safety of human beings.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。

AA wet father dialed 999 to ask police for a lift home—because it was raining.The man was walking along a flyover(立交桥) with his children when the heavens opened.He shamelessly phoned the emergency service and begged for a lift, threatening to complain(投诉) to police watchdogs unless they helped.Passing officers decided they would pick up the man and his children and drive them to a bus stop.A neighbourhood police officer for the area flagged up Sunday’s incident in Shoreham, West Sussex, in a message posted on Facebook.It read: “At 12.16 pm a male dialed 999 because it was raining and he wanted a lift home. Threatened to complain to the PCC when he was told no.”A Sussex Police spokesperson confirmed: “A man rang from the Shoreham flyover to say he was stuck on foot in rain on his way home on Sunday, and wanted a lift. A passing police car did give him a lift to the adjacent A283 as he had young children with him. He was then left as he was able to wait for a bus or phone for a taxi. Clearly, 999 is for public use only in emergencies.”However, the poor use of public service has been widely blamed.A Sussex police officer, who asked to remain anonymous(匿名的), said: “Obviously, this is not why people should call 999. He was lucky he was not punished for wasting police time.”Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: “It’s ridiculous that this important service was used for such a trivial issue. Taxpayers expect police to spend their time protecting the public from crime(犯罪), not act as a taxi service.”21．Why did the policemen eventually agree to give them a lift？A．They were totally wet.B．The man’s kids were young.C．They couldn’t afford the taxi fare.D．Their cell phones were out of power.22．The reason why the police officer said the man was “lucky” is that _________.

I first realized it would be different when I, with 12 items(物品), went through the express lane(快速结帐通道) at the local supermarket which is for people taking 5 items or less and nobody threatened my life or even gave me dirty looks. People actually smiled at me.And driving around the countryside is a relaxing experience. I have discovered clouds. I am fascinated by all sorts of lovely birds and wildlife. I’m getting into a new role and a new life and it feels good. Now, I’m at home, the city is no longer where I belong. I’m here forever.So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in the ground.28．The author and her husband moved to the countryside when ____________.A．they retired from workB．their kids were grownC．their parents were goneD．they sold their city house at a high price29．How was their first winter in the country？A．Discouraging.

I did measure myself and it was an inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up and write it as a fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum.The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefully researching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spaceman but who stayed on Earth to take part in the study.The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will do further analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishing them.The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASA green lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more.32．What made Scott Kelly grow taller after he spent 340 days in space？A．Loneliness.B．Low amount of oxygen.C．The lack of gravity.D．Harmful effects of spaceflight.33．What did Scott Kelly mean by saying “the reports…were exaggerated”(in Para. 6) A．The reports were illegal.B．The reports were total lies.C．He was annoyed about the reports.D．He did not grow that much.34．The job of Mark Kelly, Scott Kelly’s twin brother, in the study is _______.A．to comfort Scott B．to compare with ScottC．to protect Scott D．to take care of Scott35．Why are the details of the studies secret？A．The studies are harmful to spacemen.B．Scientists have not finished their jobs yet.C．NASA does not permit giving out the details.D．The studies concern the safety of human beings.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。

China will churn out 30 million electricity-driven bikes in 2020, compared to 9 million bikes last year, according to a report from the Development Research Center under the State Council and other ministries such as the National Development and Reform Commission.The central government wants to reduce the amount of energy consumption (消耗) by as much as 20 percent within the next five years. That would be achieved through the introduction of new sources of energy and encouraging people to save energy, China Daily reported.The smoke from car exhausts (尾气) is a major cause of pollution darkening the sky in Chinese cities, especially Beijing. On Monday, industrial experts called on the government to come up with more preferential (优先的) measures to spread the use of electric bikes in China.Electric bike production in China accounts for about 90 percent of the world’s total, making China the world’s biggest producer, consumer and exporter of the energy-efficient vehicle, the report said.

(精编)湖北省黄冈市高一下册期中考试英语试题_有答案

AA wet father dialed 999 to ask police for a lift home—because it was raining.The man was walking along a flyover(立交桥) with his children when the heavens opened.He shamelessly phoned the emergency service and begged for a lift, threatening to complain(投诉) to police watchdogs unless they helped.Passing officers decided they would pick up the man and his children and drive them to a bus stop.A neighbourhood police officer for the area flagged up Sunday’s incident in Shoreham, West Sussex, in a message posted on Facebook.It read: “At 12.16 pm a male dialed 999 because it was raining and he wanted a lift home. Threatened to complain to the PCC when he was told no.”A Sussex Police spokesperson confirmed: “A man rang from the Shoreham flyover to say he was stuck on foot in rain on his way home on Sunday, and wanted a lift. A passing police car did give him a lift to the adjacent A283 as he had young children with him. He was then left as he was able to wait for a bus or phone for a taxi. Clearly, 999 is for public use only in emergencies.”However, the poor use of public service has been widely blamed.A Sussex police officer, who asked to remain anonymous(匿名的), said: “Obviously, this is not why people should call 999. He was lucky he was not punished for wasting police time.”Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, added: “It’s ridiculous that this important service was used for such a trivial issue. Taxpayers expect police to spend their time protecting the public from crime(犯罪), not act as a taxi service.”21．Why did the policemen eventually agree to give them a lift？A．They were totally wet.B．The man’s kids were young.C．They couldn’t afford the taxi fare.D．Their cell phones were out of power.22．The reason why the police officer said the man was “lucky” is that _________. A．people usually couldn’t get away with wasting police timeB．the man and his kids had been sent homeC．the man and his kids met some warm—hearted officersD．people concerned about the man and his kids23．Which word below can take the place of “trivial” in the last second paragraph？A．small. B．funny.C．strange. D．crazy.BThe first time I saw him I would never have believed he was going to change my life. 1 had my arms full of books and I was entering the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was a short boy.He looked up at me, “My, you’re tall!”Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word. Before I knew, the newcomer was standing in front of Mr. McCarthy’s desk, telling him that his name was Carlos Herrera and he'd moved to Galeton from New York.“Take that seat.” Mr. McCaahy told Carols, pointing to the only empty one, at the back of the room.Carlos grinned(咧嘴笑). “But I need a couple of dictionaries.”Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only l0 minutes and already he had them on his side. And before long, he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don’t understand why you are so touchy(易怒的).” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn’t understand.”He followed me. “I should, Karen,” he said. “You and I have a lot in common. You are too tall, and I’m too short.”“You seem to get along well.” I admitted. “But what about me？ No boy wants to date a girl who is taller than he is.”“The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.”I felt myself turning red.“I’m getting a great idea,” said Carlos, and right then he suggested being my personal manager.I wasn’t sure. “W-e-ll—”Soon after that, he had my new life planned. I was to let my hair grow, wear a fitted sweater and neat skirt, and lift my head and say “Hi” to everyone. I was to volunteer to work on the school paper and go out for dramatics(戏剧表演).Then one day, he told me about his latest brain waves: he dug up a play which was about a six-foot model who fell in love with a short man.“You, I suppose, are the short man,”1 said.He grinned. “And you’re the model.”“No way,” I cried, “I don’t want to be funny.”Carlos gave me a pleading(恳求) look. “Karen, I’ve never asked you for a thing for myself, have I？”He hadn’t. So, I said yes.Here came the show time. Carlos as the short man and I, the model, were seated at a table. From our talk the audience could tell we were falling in love. That was nothing funny yet. Then as we stood up, the terrible difference in our size became clear. The audience burst into laughter.The play turned out to be very successful. People poured backstage to congratulate us. Mother and Dad were extremely happy and excited. “I’m proud of you, sweetheart.”mother said.Carlos threw his arms around my waist(腰). He said, “You are wonderful.” And I said, “Thank you, Carlos, my dear friend!”24．Why did Carlos say “But I need a couple of dictionaries”(in Para.5)？A．He had some new words to look up.B．He was new to this class.C．He worked pretty hard.D．He was too short to sit at the back.25．Why could Carlos be so popular？A．He was quite grateful.B．He dared to be himself.C．He did not think he was short.D．He was very generous.26．Their play was a big success because of __________.A．their classmates’ adviceB．Carlos’ ambition to become an actorC．the difference in their heightD．Carlos’ aim to make Karen more confident considered27．Before Carlos arrived. Karen had been __________ at school.A．1ively and popular B．considered quite prettyC．troubled by her height D．looked down upon by othersCLike most people born and brought up in a big city, I always believed that carrots grew m trees.But I’d always dreamed of living in the country. When my husband and I realized that our Toronto house was worth a large sum of money thanks to out-of-control housing prices, we decided to take the chance, sell and buy a piece of paradise(乐园) in a town northwest of the city.That was four years ago. I and Richard had no experience of living in the country. But at this stage of our lives, it was exciting to begin a new adventure. Besides, my parents were gone, the kids were grown and, to be honest, if I saw one more apartment building go up in my neighbourhood, the top of my head was going to explode.The first winter in our new home was a difficult one, with more snow falling than in the past 10 years. I learned the true meaning of “cabin fever(幽闭烦躁症)”—when I developed an uncontrollable thought to beat Richard over the head with a stick because I couldn’t stand the sound of the air blowing through his nose when he breathed. We were trapped together 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. A lot! It wasn’t pretty. When spring came I found myself driving to the city at least once every few weeks.I need to hug a tall building. I wasn’t quite used to the new life so well.But there are so many wonderful things about living in the country. I first realized it would be different when I, with 12 items(物品), went through the express lane(快速结帐通道) at the local supermarket which is for people taking 5 items or less and nobody threatened my life or even gave me dirty looks. People actually smiled at me.And driving around the countryside is a relaxing experience. I have discovered clouds. I am fascinated by all sorts of lovely birds and wildlife. I’m getting into a new role and a new life and it feels good. Now, I’m at home, the city is no longer where I belong. I’m here forever.So, there is no doubt that carrots grow in the ground.28．The author and her husband moved to the countryside when ____________.

It was why Rowan’s mother, Julie Van Stone, said Joseph joined the Navy(海军) and went to MIT to get two Master’s degrees(硕士学位).While at school in Boston, he would often write to Rowan. Even when he left school and was driving back to Colorado, he would send postcards from each state he stopped in. Those postcards were sent in 2007. “I remember him saying he had sent 5 or 6, but Rowanhad only got 3 or 4 in the mail. But I never thought anything of it,” Van Stone said.Those postcards and pictures are priceless memories(回忆) for Van Stone and her son, especially after Joseph passed away from a rare brain disease. Rowan never had a chance to say goodbye. But, on Saturday, just days before the two-year anniversary of Joseph’s death, a postcard arrived in the mail. It arrived on March 11, 2015. The message read：“Hello from Pennsylvania. I love you, and I miss you so much. See you soon. Love, Daddy.”Neither he nor his mother knows how it happened, and they may never know. But, they have their own ideas why. “I feel like that was the final goodbye that he didn’t get to say,” Van Stone said. Van Stone says Joseph’s last words to her before he died were：“Everything is a circle. We will see each other again. All that matters is love.”24．What did Rowan’s dad do to make his son live well？A．He got many Master’s Degrees.B．He became a soldier in Navy.C．He kept writing to his son.D．He said goodbye to his son.25．When Rowan only received 3 or 4 of postcards, Van Stone________.A．paid little attention to thatB．let Joseph stop sending postcardsC．drove back to ColoradoD．wrote to Rowan every year26．How long did it take for the last postcard to reach Rowan？A．2 years.

D．In New York.CYou may not know a lot of people when you start high school. Even if you know some freshmen(新生), you still feel nervous that you don’t know any upper-classmen and teachers. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces？Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because youlearn your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.When you talk to your new classmates, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.The work in high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school, giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.High school also has more extracurricular activities(课外活动) than middle school did such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.28．What does the underlined word “orientation” mean in Paragraph 2？A．Training. B．Game.C．Discussion. D．Examination.29．What are freshmen probably worried about？A．The learning task.B．The ability to make friends.C．The relationship with teachers.D．The freshman orientation.30．Extracurricular activities mainly help students ________. A．build up healthy bodiesB．develop friendshipsC．develop their interestsD．improve their learning ability31．This passage is written for ________.A．freshmen at high schoolB．freshmen’s parentsC．middle school studentsD．upper-classmen in high schoolDAmericans think that everything we British people say sounds smart. We think that they sound low-class, but secretly we think they sound cool. These are just old beliefs about British and American English, but there is some truth in them.What is certainly true is that the differences between British and American English continue to interest us.When the US was only about 20 years old, people were already saying that British accents sounded more intelligent，according to Erin Moore’s book That’s Not English：Britishisms, Americanisms, and What Our English Says About Us.However, there are many different accents in Britain-Moore says the UK may have just as many regional(地区的) accents as the US, even though the population is almost one-fifth the size. In the UK, accents have a lot to do with class(阶层), but to many Americans, even an accent that British people think is “low class”is thought of as intelligent and better, according to MPR News.American slang(俚语) has been part of British people’s vocabulary for a long time-the number of American television,movies and music enjoyed in the UK means that British people have been using words like “cool” and “awesome” for years now. But sometimes words from the UK make it to the US-like “gobsmacked”.“Gobsmacked” started as slang from northern England. “Gob”means mouth, so the word means “surprised as if someone smacked(掌掴) you in the mouth”. Reality television brought it to the US, Moore said. When the singer Susan Boyle became famous for her unlikely great singing voice on the show Britain’s Got Talent, she used it all the time. “I’m gobsmacked,” she repeated, and it got popular.“Americans love a colorful piece of slang as much as anyone else,” said Moore. And this is just one example of how Britons and Americans can leave each other “gobsmacked” with their different types of English!32．What do American people think of British English？A．Cool. B．Low-class.C．Intelligent. D．Interesting.33．What can we know from the passage？A．There are more accents in Britain than in the US.B．The UK is a large country with a small population.C．American slang is the most important part of British people’s vocabulary.D．In the UK, people of different classes speak differently. 34．The word “gobsmacked” became widely used because of ________. A．MPR News and the USB．Erin Moore and northern EnglandC．Susan Boyle and Britain’s Got TalentD．Reality television and American slang35．What is the best title for the passage？A．American slang and British slangB．British people and American peopleC．British accents and American accentsD．Differences between British and American English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。

Others are thinking of skipping their senior trips or reducing prom(毕业舞会)costs. Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.So，who exactly is punishing them？Is it their parents，teachers or employers？No，it's the economy.If you are like most teenagers，you probably don't understand what“ recession(经济衰退)”，“negative economic growth ”and“ subprime mortgage crisis(次贷危机)”actually mean.And you probably don't spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock market.It's safe to say that most teens don't know much about the economy except for one thing：it's bad.But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?“The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession's ability to affect my college choice，”said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California，US.“With the economic situation the way it is，I have thought less about going to a private or out-of-state university，and more about public schools in California，mainly because of the price of tuition，”said Richars. “I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year.”The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers' lives，too.Joey Camarda，a student at Modesto High School in California，who works at an ice cream store，said，“Probably due to the economy，I have been getting less hours at my job，and because of that，I am not getting enough money to help pay for college.”Tara Mooney，a senior at Beyer High School，has also begun to notice that money is tight.“Things are getting expensive，”she said. “When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips，I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all.”51．The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ______.A．the economic recession has had a big impact on teens' work，life and studyB．teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply forC．teenagers don't know much about the economic recessionD．teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money52．Because of the bad economic situation，Heather Richars will most probably ______.A．go to a private university B．attend an out-of-state collegeC．attend a public college in California D．find a good university as he planned53．How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?A．He has to find more part-time jobs. B．He has to help his mother do more chores.C．He has found that he had more time to study. D．His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.54．What can we conclude from the passage?A．Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.B．Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.C．Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.D．Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.BGuide to Stockholm University LibraryOur library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.ZonesThe library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work. ComputersYou can use your own computer to connect to the wi-fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated(位于) in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.Group-study placesIf you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.Storage of Study MaterialThe library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have got at least 40 credits(学分), you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.Rules to be FollowedMobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library, but you are allowed to have drinks and sweets with you.55.

Applicants must mark the room on the map58. What should NOT be brought into the library?A. Mobile phonesB. Orange juiceC. CandyD. SandwichesCYou are what you eat and fats are a mai n food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr.Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough departure（离开）from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat.” They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake(卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now that 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.Although on the whole Asians tend to thinness, culture—namely Asians’ hospitality—is a reason for the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says.” Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were onl y hosted on special occasions, as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption,10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.“In the past, people had four or more children—now, they have o ne or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang. “The earliest way is to give them quality food. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”When describing the physical condition of most overwei ght Asian children, Chwang says: “there is a clear relation between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t want to move because they are fat.”Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer vi deo games to old outdoor sports. “What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke,” says Chwang.59.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Asian people tend to save more money.B. Asian children depart from their diet tradition.C. Asian children eat big meals on more occasions.D. Culture contributes to the fatness of Asian children.60.According to the passage, the quality food fed by more parents is actually _____.A. healthful foodB. qualified foodC. agreeable foodD. highcalorie food61.Some parents feel bad when their children look thin, because _____.A. their children don’t love eating and drinkingB. the children don’t have a good physical conditionC. they feel that they don’t take good care of their childrenD. they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford “quality food”62.The purpose of this article is to _____.A. compare the traditional diet with toda y’s diet of Asian childrenB. find reasons for increased food consumption of Asian peopleC. explain why many Asian children are overweight nowadaysD. prove the relationship between fatness and indoor playDFull-time university students sp end all their time studying. They don’t do other work. Their course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students have to follow a course lasting for six or seven years. Then they graduate as doctor. In Britain, full-time university students have three terms of about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures or they study by themselves. Their vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.Some universities, like Oxford and Cambridge in England, are residential. This means that during the university terms the students live in universities.Other universities are non-residential. Some of the students at these universities can live in a university hotel, but many live at home or in lodgings and have to travel daily to their lectures. Large cities often have universities of this kind, sometimes the students have to spend a lot of time on their journeys.Full-time students are also called internal students, because they spend all their times at universities. There are also external students who cannot attend the university full-time but who are studying for its examinations. They are part-time students. They have to do other work during the day, usually to earn their living, and they study in the evening.External students are often older than full-time internal students. Sometimes they can attend lectures in the evening, but many of them have to study by correspondence(函授).they write at home the work that is set by their tutors(指导教师).Then have to pass their work to their tutors post corrections and advice back to them.In some countries,” Universities of the Air” can now help students to receive degrees. After special lectures on radio or television, these students have to send set work for correction by correspondence .However, for a few weeks each year they can attend special vacation course at “universities”.63. _____ have to study at university for six or seven years.A. All the studentsB. Medical studentsC. Full-time studentsD. Part-time students64.Medical students all become doctors _____.A. when they graduateB. before they graduateC. after they work in the hospital for six or seven yearsD. while they are studying at universities65.The residential students are those who _____.A. live at homeB. go to school every dayC. live in a universityD. have to do other work66.The part-time students _____.A. work for a living in the daytime and study in the eveningB. are internal studentsC. are residential studentsD. have to attend lectures during the dayEEveryone has an ambition to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency（旅行社）, arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this, working in a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday, both at home and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets（小册子）full of attractive, colored photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon, people begin to come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions. Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering holiday in the Alps, and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated, but Brian enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr Perry,a director of chemical firm, went on a business trip, and Brian arranged it all for him. First, Mr Perry traveled to London by train stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany, where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York, he flew back to London,and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.67.Who would like to work in a travel agency?A. People who live in an industrial city.B. People who would like to travel but cannot.C. Ambitious people.D. People who go on holidays abroad.68.When do the customers come into the office to book their holidays?A. Early in the morning.B. Every year.C. In January.D. Shortly after receiving the booklet.69.Those who cannot travel themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency _____.A. arranging trips for other peopleB. arranging trips for themselvesC. booking trips for other peopleD. describing the holidays for other people70.Mr Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brian because _____.A. Mr Perry arranged everything so well for BrianB. Brian arranged everything so well for Mr PerryC. the agency sent Mr Perry abroad on businessD. Brian helped him in the travel agency第四部分：书面表达(共两节，满分50分)第一节：完成句子（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

湖北省黄冈市2015-2016学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，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。

AWhat’s it like to be a popular teen author？ We asked Amelia Atw ater-Rhodes， author of In the Forests of the Night to find it out. How do you come up with your ideas？I start with a minor character， and then expand on that characte r. In the first book， I just wrote some flat characters to pass the time. Eventually， I wanted to know more about the characters I’d cr eated. The first things I wrote weren’t very good， but they did get me to start writing， which was important.How has your writing evolved？Every book I write， I get more into it. History is one of my passions(酷爱) right now. Sometimes I’ll take inspiration from characte rs in Ancient Egypt， Rome， or Mesoamerica. My first characters were flat， but now they’re like my best friends.How did you feel when your book was first published？It came as a shock. The first time I saw my book in print I could barely believe it. I had to tell myself，“This is real. I’m not d reaming.”What does your writing space look like？I mostly write on the computer in my room. I can write anywhere a s long as it’s quiet. I also do writing in notebooks.How do you make time for your writing？Writing is one of those things that you will make time for if you want to do it. When I have something to write， I’ll need to write it. If you love writing， you will make time for it.Do you think reading helps writing？Definitely. When you read， you get used to visualizing things in print. I’m not a big television fan， so I have always spent a lot o f time reading. You learn to see things in words. You figure out how to express yourself in words. You learn the basics， and then get the ideas for your writing.What’s your advice for aspiring(有志向的) kid writers？Go out and do it. Find other people who write. Keep at it！ You c an always edit. Every author is his or her own worst critic. If you l ove to write， just do it．21．What do we know about Amelia？A．Historical characters inspire her to write.B．She likes to create perfect characters from the beginning. C．She considers In the Forests of the Night as her best novel. D．Flat characters once stopped her from improving her writing. 22．When Amelia first saw her book in print， she was ________.A．amazed B．disappointedC．confused D．unconcerned23．Which advice would Amelia most likely give us？A．The best time to write is before you go to bed.B．It is easier to start writing when you are young.C．If you want to write， there is no excuse for not writing.D．If you want to be a writer， you shouldn’t watch television.BIt would be a success story if Fullerton Union High School senior Fernando Rojas， the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopp ed in the eighth grade， was accepted to college. But the 17-year-ol d made a surprising clean sweep of every Ivy League(常春藤联合会的) c ollege.“I didn’t think I would get into any，” Rojas said on Saturday.“When I was accepted by all the eight Ivy League colleges， it was a surprising joy.” The first call came from Yale University in Febru ary. Within weeks， calls， emails and letters followed from Dartmout h College， Brown University， the University of Pennsylvania， Corne ll University， Columbia University， Harvard University and Princeto n University. Rojas was also accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools， the University of California， Irvine， and the Cali fornia State University， Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas and Maria， who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco， Mexico， in the early 1980s. As a national s peech and debate champion， Rojas thought that if he applied to the e ight Ivy League colleges， he might get into one. Sal Tinajero， Roja s’ speech coach at Fullerton， said，“His biggest motivation was t o let his parents know that their hard work meant something.”After visiting several campuses， he settled on Yale， which cost s $64，000 a year with room and board(膳宿). He is responsible for $6，000， and Yale scholarships cover the rest. “I loved Princeton，” R ojas said. “It was a beautiful campus， but it felt very stressful. Stanford was too big.”Rojas owes his academic success to hard work and the guidance of his elder brothers. Before heading to Yale， he’s considering majori ng in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer in inte rnational affairs.24．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 shows that Rojas ________. A．hoped to apply to all the eight Ivy League collegesB．contributed greatly to every Ivy League collegeC．was admitted by all the eight Ivy League collegesD．1iked sweeping in every Ivy League college25．Which of the following belongs to the Ivy League colleges？A．Cornell University.B．Stanford University.C．The University of California.D．The California State University.26．How much can Rojas get from Yale University a year？A．$6，000. B．$58，000.C．$64，000. D．$70，000.27．Which of the following helped Rojas achieve his academic success？A．His brothers’help.B．His parents' encouragement.C．His interest in Latin American studies.D．His dream of being a lawyer in international affairs.CIt is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioni ng ecosystems make for better places for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier， healthier people.A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield， England， for in stance， revealed that the greater the biodiversity(生物多样性)， the greater the psychological well-being(健康) of the city’s citizens. I n Paris， researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day -long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the na tural world for a time， at least.Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant th at reconstruction would take a long time. This provided local ecologi sts with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological rese arch program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin，” said Jen s Lachmund， a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Net herlands.The pioneering work in Berlin had several consequences， especial ly the formation of significant natural spaces within the city， such as the Südgel？nde Nature Park. “Berlin has indeed benefitted a lot from being a case study in urban ecology，” said Lachmund.The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard， a biologist at the University of Leeds， and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural spaces within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conduc ted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity， quantify ing the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around th e world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important t o human health and well-being，” said Goddard.Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area， yet according t o the most recent figure from the United Nations， some 3.6 billion p eople (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050， this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company， it is a dark future. 28．The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link bet ween ________.A．citizens and their well-beingB．green spaces and urban wildlifeC．urban ecology and citizens’ well-beingD．functioning ecosystems and the natural world29．What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlin’s work？A．Cautious. B．Negative.C．Uncaring. D．Admiring.30．The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show ________. A．the negative effect of overpopulationB．the importance of urban ecosystemsC．the serious problems of city lifeD．the rapid growth of urban areas31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A．Should more people live in urban areas？B．Should Berlin have more natural spaces？C．Should cities be for animals and plants too？D．Should the global population be controlled now？DOne day last month， I read a story about two teachers who gave a wards to their students. The awards were 1abeled the “8th Annual Ghe tto(贫民区) Classroom Awards，” They were intended to be “light-hea rted” and the teachers didn’t mean anything bad. One student was re cognized for his academic difficulties with the award.The world learned about it because his mother posted it on socialmedia. She wasn’t proud. She was angry， confused and hurt for her son. Did I mention that the students to whom the awards were given we re in a class for kids who receive special services for learning disa bilities？ Yes， the “Ghetto Classroom” was the special education c lassroom.When I read this story， I was sure of three things：That student got the message that he was a loser； he would never forget those tea chers； he would head to high school without a lot of confidence.Humor can be tricky. I learned this the hard way， in my first ye ar of teaching. Someone mentioned that one of my students， whom I ha d placed into the “athletic” category， had taken ballet lessons fo r years， and I gently teased her for it. At least I thought it was g entle. I also thought it was okay， until the day when she came to me after class and told me that it hurt her feelings and she’d like me to stop.I’m thankful every day that she had the courage to talk to me. O ver the years I think I figured out how to throw away my sarcastic(挖苦的) wit(风趣) and learned how to have humor without being hurtful.It’s really quite simple：You can make fun of yourself in a self -deprecating(自我贬低的) way， but never make fun of your students. 32．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the awards were most probably given to ________.A．draw the attention of parentsB．make students in the class laughC．encourage students to study harderD．please those who had made progress33．In the author’s opinion， the award ________.A．showed the teachers were really funnyB．would affect the student negativelyC．would be encouraging to the studentD．meant the teachers disliked the student34．What was the girl’s attitude toward the authors teasing？A．Uncaring. B．Interested.C．Annoyed. D．Approving.35．After reading the text， we learn that teachers shouldn’t ______ __.A．make fun of themselvesB．look down upon their studentsC．joke about their students for funD．try to be funny in front of students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。

湖北省黄冈中学2015-2016学年高一(上)期末英语试卷(解析版)

湖北省黄冈中学2015-2016学年高一（上）期末英语试卷（解析版）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）·第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）HAVE you ever gotten a song kept in your head？You sing it all the time ﹣on your way to school，before sleep，even when you're sitting on the toilet．You want to forget it，but the music just keeps sounding in your head．Some people call these annoying songs"earworms"because they are just like parasites（寄生虫）﹣they"live"in your ears and refuse to leave even when you tell them to．But why do some songs become earworms and not others？According to Ira Hyman，a music psychologist at Western Washington University，people are more likely to remember songs that are simple and repetitive，especially ones with that type of music．"Choruses tend to get stuck in your head because they are the bit we know best，"Hyman told The Tele﹣graph．If you've got an earworm，you can suffer an attack without even hearing it．Seeing words from the song or hearing someone mention it could both cause the domino effect that starts the song running．Scientists have been trying to find a solution to deal with earworms．They say the best way is to fill your mind with something else．But here is the tricky part：the task you do should be neither too hard nor too easy．The harder you try not to think about the music，the more you won't be able to help it．On the contrary，a task like jogging which is too easy won't keep your brain busy enough，and that could allow the song to come back．"The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge．"said Hymen．Reading a difficult book or a good novel could count．21．What can we 1earn from the passage？A．People may sing earworms everywhere．B．You can suffer an attack of an earworm on hearing it．C．You can forget the melody by trying hard not to think about it．D．Hearing someone sing the song can't start the song running in your head．22．What kinds of songs will probably become earworms？A．Classical songs．B．Songs we 1ike best．C．Simple and repetitive songs．D．Songs that are unfinished．23．According to the article，if you want to get rid of earworms，you should．A．Listen to a new songB．Try not to think of the songC．Read an interesting novelD．Do some exercise like jogging．24．（8分）I can well remember the pain．My stomach was sick，my heart hurt，and my eyes painful from holding hack tears．"You know，Annie，"my friend John said，"Joanna and Andrea were just talking about You．"I immediately got nervous．"They said that the only reason you start on the basketball team is because the coach likes you．It's not because you're good．"I thought I might be sick．"They said they're tired of you always getting what you want．"I struggled to keep myself from crying，sinking to my knees on the cold floor．After John told me everything my supposed best friends said about me，I was hurt．Joanna and Andrea came in from lunch break acting as if nothing had happened．Joanna was still my deskmate，and Andrea was still my partner for our history project．I was amazed at their ability to pretend we had perfect friendship，especially since they'd said such hurtful things．I was a freshman in high school，and I felt like I didn't have a friend in the world，all because of a gossip．The tongue can be our worst enemy．Gossips harm confidence and separate close friends．They are like sharp knives，cutting one's self﹣respect into pieces．When we say unkind things about others，we're sticking knives into their hearts．So how was I to act next？When Joanna and Andrea pretended our friendship hadn't changed，I thought of attacking them back．But instead，I told them directly that they had hurt me．Joanna started crying and Andrea was speechless．I knew they were both sorry for what they had said．They apologized，and I forgave them．Sure，things were a little uncomfortable at first，but soon enough everything was back to the way it had been before．I still deal with gossip，sometimes as a receiver and sometimes as a sharer．But the more I learn about love，the more I realize the importance of encouraging others﹣something gossip never does．24．From the first two paragraphs，we can conclude that Joanna and Andrea．A．were grateful that the writer was their friendB．did not think the writer was the coach's favoriteC．were unhappy about the writer being on the teamD．made fun of the writer's basketball performances25．How did the writer deal with her friends'comments about her？A．She decided to fight back immediately．B．She pretended that nothing had happened．C．She found it uncomfortable to speak to them．D．She told them how she felt about their words．26．The writer's reaction to gossips is．A．unconcerned B．positiveC．negative D．unclear27．According to the story，we can infer．A．gossips are sticking knives into people's heartsB．we couldn't live in a world without gossips，but love can be a helperC．We have to be patient when we hear gossips about our friendsD．We should be careful around our friends since they may cheat us．28．（8分）What is a digital flatbed printer？It is a multi﹣functional printer．It can be used to print things on T﹣shirts，wood，glass，plastic and metal．Which kind of ink does the printer use？The printer can use many kinds of ink，such as eco﹣solvent ink，oil﹣based ink and water﹣based ink．For all kinds of materials，the special solvent ink can be used．It is called multi﹣functional ink．But for T﹣shirt printing，people usually use textile ink．After printing，it can be washed and rubbed．How about the printing cost？The cost of printing is very cheap．It just takes 8﹣10ml of the ink for 1meter square．The non﹣stopped printing will be more economical．What is the shipping cost？We can send the goods to you by express（expensive，very fast），by air（medium，fast）or by sea（cheap，slow）．After getting your full address，we can make sure of the arrival of the goods you've ordered．If the printer is broken，how can you help me to repair it？We are best at making it in China．If there is any problem，we can help you as soon as possible．First，our professional engineer will help you to test the machine and help to solve the problem．If you need any spare parts，whose cost should be paid yourself，we will send them by express．Is there a guarantee on your printer？Yes．The printer is guaranteed for 1year，except the printer head，pump accessory and man﹣made fault．Company profile．Our company is the most professional manufacturer of digital printers．We have more than 10years'history in the printing industry．Now，we can provide very good quality printers，consumables and professional service．28．Which of the following statements is TRUE？A．For T﹣shirt printing，people usually use eco﹣solvent ink．B．The shipping costs can be different depending on your choice．C．The cost of printing is very cheap for it just takes 8﹣10ml of the ink．D．The digital flatbed printer can print things on wood，grass，and plastic．29．The company will be responsible for your printer if．A．either the printer head or the pump accessory is brokenB．it falls to the ground and is broken when you're moving itC．you bought the printer two years ago but now it doesn't workD．it doesn't function well in the eleventh month after you bought it30．The underlined word"spare"in the fifth paragraph means．A．free B．expensiveC．additional D．special31．What is the purpose of this passage？A．To persuade readers to buy this kind of printer．B．To ask and answer questions about this kind of printer．C．To tell readers this kind of printer can use many kinds of ink．D．To provide readers with the latest information of this kind of printer．32．（8分）Coffee shops are visited by hundreds of thousands of us every day．While we drink our coffee，we may connect our smartphone to the shop's Wi﹣Fi network，and keep in touch with friends via services such as QQ and Alipay．As well as socializing，we may use the time and free wireless connection to get on top of our finances．Taking money from your account（账户）to others'accounts is no more than a few touches on your screen．But what coffee drinkers do not realize is that hiding among the other coffee﹣lovers are bank robbers．Unknown to you，this modern form of bank thief is silently collecting all your personal information．You'll only realize it when you later go to an ATM to withdraw some money，and discover that every penny in your account has been cleared out．The common way for a thief is to use your smartphone's Wi﹣Fi connection．They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the safety of networks we connect to．For example，when you are in a coffee shop，your smartphone willpresent you with a list of available Wi﹣Fi networks that you can use to connect your phone to the Internet．Most of these networks are run by legal companies，but sometimes they are actually created by a thief sitting nearby with little more than a laptop．These networks are often given names，such as"Free Public Wi﹣Fi"，which cheat smartphone users to log in．It seems that everything is OK，and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legal Wi﹣Fi service．However，because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief，he can watch over everything you do，making it possible for him to collect passwords and log﹣in details about your bank account．32．In the coffee shops a bank robber usually takes away your personal information through．A．your bank accountB．a network controlled by himC．a few touches on your screenD．a legal Wi﹣Fi service33．What do we know about"free Wi﹣Fi networks"from the passage？A．They must help bank robbers steal your money．B．The possible free Wi﹣Fi networks can't be connected．．C．All of them don't give away your personal information．D．They only allow coffee﹣lovers tb connect in coffee shops．34．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？A．The thief asks for your personal information．B．Bank robbers set a trap for coffee﹣lovers in the coffee shops．C．The illegal Wi﹣Fi makes your money stolen easily．D．The possible networks in coffee shops threaten your account safety．35．From the passage，we can conclude that．A．People keep in touch with thieves through Wi﹣Fi in coffee shopsB．It's easy for you to tell bank robbers from other coffee drinkers in coffee shops C．Taking money from your account to others'is not only a few touches on your screenD．Online thieves could steal money because people pay little attention to the safety of network．第二节（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）36．（10分）It's reported that the Great Fire attacked London in the 17th century．The fire started in the very early hours of the day．In four days it destroyed more than three﹣quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were wooden and close together．（36）On Sunday morning the fire started in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane．The baker，with his wife and family，was able to get out through a window in the roof．（37）Then it spread quickly into Thames Street．That was the beginning．By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire．On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames．（38）The fire destroyed many well﹣known buildings，old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them．People threw their things into the river．Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment．（39）The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire．With nothing left to burn，the fire became weak and finally died out．After the fire，the city was expected to be rebuilt with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．（40）But more than fifty churches were also rebuilt，among them new St Paul's．Although great pain and loss was caused by the fire，after it London was rebuilt as a better place：a city for the future and not just of the past．A．Tuesday was the worst day，for more buildings were caught in the fire．B．In fact，the streets were still narrow after totally rebuilt．C．At last，the streets became much wider．D．The family were able to survive the fire after all．E．The homeless had to wander in the streets for no shelter to stay．F．A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door．G．One hundred thousand people became homeless，but only a few lost their lives．第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

However, bridge building experts thought that this was an impossible project and told Roebling to forget it. But Roebling could not ignore the vision of this bridge. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an engineer, that the bridge could be built.The father and son developed concepts of how it could be completed and how the difficulties could be overcome. After that, they began to build their dream bridge.The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway (在进行中) a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which made him unable to walk or talk or even move.Everyone had a negative comment since the Roeblings were the only one who knew how to build the bridge. In spite of these difficulties, Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge. It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was to move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving it, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. The project was underway again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.Today the Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory to the victory of one man's determination not to be defeated by circumstances. This is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical disability and achieves an impossible goal.51．When John Roebling had the idea of building the bridge, ______.A. his son supported him immediatelyB. many experts thought it impossibleC. there was no bridge around New YorkD. he persuaded the government to support him52．What is the right order of the following statements?a. The Roeblings talked about the possibilities of building the bridge.b. Washington became disabled.c. John Roebling believed that building the bridge was possible.d. Washington's wife helped instruct the building.A. a d c bB. b c d aC. c a b dD. a d b c53．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the government did offer much help to building the bridgeB. to go to the long Island, we can go across Brooklyn Bridge nowC. Washington had only one finger after the accidentD. it took 13 years to complete the bridge54．What is the main idea of the passage?A. the Roeblings were devoted to their workB. how the Brooklyn Bridge was built by the Roeblings.C. a strong will is not to be defeated.D. success lies in patience and hard work.BLooking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up inthe same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do maths well.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my passion has led me into varied explorations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.But curiosity, a keen （敏锐的）eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.55．The first paragraph tells us the writer .A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB. lost his hearing when he was a childC. didn’t like his brothers and sistersD. was born into a naturalist’s family56．The writer can’t clearly remember his relatives probably because .A. he didn’t live very long with themB. the family was very largeC. he was too young when he lived with themD. he devoted himself to observing nature57．It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was .A. a scientist as well as a naturalistB. not a naturalist but a scientistC. only a born naturalistD. first of all a scientist58．According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be .A. good at mathsB. full of passionC. knowledgeableD. self-controlledCStudents who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.59．The writer thinks that .A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be success ful in learning EnglishB. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English.C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properlyD. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing60．According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious disadvantages.D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.61．This passage mainly tells us ．.A. that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the defects of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it62．Which is not mentioned in this passage?A. How to make good use of a dictionary.B. When to use a dictionary.C. How to improve spoken English.D. How to practise reading fast.DParking has long been a major headache for drivers in Shanghai. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are one million cars on the road in Shanghai but only enough public parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.The city is seeing a rise in private car owners. In March, the city sent out 2,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to 14,600 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.By the year 2020, the number of automobiles in Shanghai will probably reach two million. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles.Downtown Shanghai is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in downtown areas is not practical and doesn’t provide an ideal solution. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway or bus stations and ride public transport to go downtown. Based on this idea, the city will limit the number of parking lots in downtown areas and demand higher parking fees but build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.63．The underlined phrase “mapping out” in the first paragraph means _____.A. makingB. arguingC. commandingD. requesting64．About ______ drivers can find places to park their cars in Shanghai now.A. 850,000B. 1,000,000C. 150,000D. 2,000,00065．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. The city sent out more private licenses in February.B. Less and less people bought cars in March.C. The city sent out less private licenses in March.D. More and more people are going to buy cars. 66．According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will ______.A. send out more private car licensesB. build more parking lots near bus stopsC. encourage people to buy more carsD. build more parking areas downtownＥA sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物可降解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic, but overtime it can break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this cover turns into waste, it forms nitrates (硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the cover so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in nex t time.” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means producers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment.A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists. “The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan, the leader of the research team.67．After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone, _______.A. the sunflower seed will come out and flower in the potB. the phone cover will break down very soon in the soilC. it will be recycled by the producersD. it can charge itself with electricity in a green way 68．This type of research is done because ______.A. the technology of making phones is changing rapidlyB. too many waste mobile phones may lead to environmental problemsC. nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phonesD. producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy69．We can infer from the story ______.A. the new type of mobile phones are already on the marketB. the new type of mobile phones will sell extremely wellC. the material of the new type of phones is harmfulD. other flowers may be used in the new type of mobile phones 70．The best title of this passage is .A. Recycling our phonesB. The phones that flowerC. A new material for making phonesD. The harm of thrown-away phones第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

AThe Spotlight in RioPhelps puts spotlight on cupping(拔火罐)Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps led American swimmers to a gold medal in the 4×100-meter relay, but what grabbed media attention and led to stories and photos around the globe were the purple and red circles on his back.Michael Phelps of the USA is seen with red cupping marks on his shoulder as he competes during the 2016 Rio Olympics men’s 200m butt erfly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aug 8, 2016.Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui goes viralChina’s women’s swimmer Fu Yuanhui has created a sensation online not just by winning the bronze medal in the 100m backstroke competition, but also by her facial expressions during the post semi-final interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Monday.When asked whether she held back for the final, Fu replied, ＂No, I used my ‘prehistorical power’.＂ What she meant was that she had spared no efforts in the semi-final. Since then, the so-called ＂prehistorical power＂ has gone viral and become a new hot word.Britain wins first Olympic diving gold in men’s synchronized 3m springboard(男子双人3米跳板) Britain’s Jack Laugher and Chris Mears ended China’s gold medal monopoly(垄断) over diving events at the Rio Olympics by winning the men’s synchronized 3m springboard final on Wednesday, the country’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in diving.Laugher and Mears finished with a six-round total of 454.32 points, just 4.11 points ahead of silver medallists Mike Hixon and Sam Dorman of the USA at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Center.

Britain became the gold medal monopolist of diving events at the Rio Olympics.C. Mike Hixon and Sam Dorman of the USA took silver with 447.81 points.D. Britain had never won the Olympic diving gold medal before the Rio Olympics.BA number of people have a poor sense of direction. Frankly, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyon e asks me the way to someplace, I would say, ＂Sorry, I am a stranger here.＂Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how su rprised he was when we saw each other at that moment!5. The writer often refuse s to give people directions because ____________.A. she is not familiar with the cityB. she is afraid of giving wrong directionsC. she has no time to help othersD. she doesn’t know the people well6. The word ＂embarrassed＂ in the last paragraph means ＂ ____________＂.A. 困惑的B. 迷茫的C. 尴尬的D. 兴奋的7. The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ____________.A. studiesB. teachesC. livesD. works8. We can infer from the passage that _____________.A. the writer is too shy to give others directions[B. the writer has a terrible sense of directionC. the writer often asked others the way when she was youngD. the man was very nervous when he saw the writerCAugust 8, was Earth Overshoot Day. Calculated annually by the environmental advocacy(支持，拥护) group, Global Footprint Network (GFN), it is the day when human has consumed all the natural resources — produce, meat, fish, water, and wood — that our planet can regenerate(再生) in a single year. This means that for the rest of 2016, we will be using natural resources that are impossible to replace.For those that are a little confused, it is similar to spending your entire year’s salary by August and then borrowing money from friends, knowing fully well that you cannot repay the loan(借款). GFNsays that the same thing happens in the case of the Earth.The date of Earth Overshoot Day varies each year. In an ideal, fully sustainable world, we should only spend what we have. This means that Earth Overshoot Day would fall on December 31, or perhaps even fall on the follow ing year, indicating that we are saving some resources for a rainy day. That did happen in 1961, when we only consumed three-quarters of what the planet produced.Unfortunately, the day has been going up rapidly since 2014 when it fell on August 19. In 2015, it was August 13, and this year, the earliest so far — August 8! The only way to sustain this demand would be to have 1.6 earths, which as we all know, is not possible.Fortunately, experts say that the situation is not as grim as it sounds. Many countries are already taking steps to reduce carbon emissions, which accounts for 60% of our ecological footprint, by switching to solar or wind-generated power.Individuals can also help by eating less meat, walking, biking, or taking public transportation, as well as adopting the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. If we all work together, we can help push back Earth Overshoot Day to December 31, or even beyond!8. What did the author compare your entire year’s salary to?A. All the natural resources on the earth in a single year.B. All the natural resources that we can save in a single year.C. All the resources that our planet can’t regenerate in a single year.D. All the natural resources that our planet can regenerate in a single year.9. What can be learnt about Earth Overshoot Day from the text?A. The date of Earth Overshoot Day doesn’t vary each year.B. Earth Overshoot Day’s falling on December 31 is the best.C. The earlier Earth Overshoot Day falls on, the more friendly to the earth we are.D. The later Earth Overshoot Day falls on, the more friendly to the earth we are.10. What does the underlined word ＂grim＂ in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Terrible.B. Positive.C. Hopeful.D. Changeable.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Warning: Earth Overshoot DayB. A Celebration: Earth Overshoot DayC. A Reminder: Reduce, Reuse, and RecycleD. An Advertisement: Global Footprint NetworkDArt and culture is lived and breathed in every corner of Canada. Due to a racial and immigrant(移民的) population, the variety and richness of art and sports is very evident.Since World War Ⅱ, Canada has produced an impressive amount of writing. From novels to poetry, the selection is wide. N ative writers are also becoming better known across Canada in recent years.Musicians are reaching a higher level of recognition in the world music scene. Everything from country to pop, classical to heavy rock can be found across Canada and across the globe performed by Canadian artists.The National Film Board, a film crew in Canada, is the most famous producer of movies in Canada. However, many Hollywood studios are turning to Canada as an alternative(供替代的选择) to the more expensive US. Many well-known actors, directors, screen writers and movies come from Canada and often scoop awards for their work.French art was the first to appear in Canada along the St Lawrence in and around Quebec. Since then the volume of art and artists has increased. Canadian photography as well as painting by Canadians is not well-known outside of Canada but recognition is increasing.Sport is a major part of today’s society in Canada. Hockey is the most popular sport with more participants taking part in curling(冰壶). American-style football and baseball are also very popular and all of these sports are played across Canada.12. Canada has many forms of art and culture because it has ___________.A. a long historyB. a large areaC. a large populationD. a variety of immigrants13.

He had bee n here only 10 minu tes and already he had them on his side. And before long, he and I became familiar.One day, he looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes. “I don ' t understand why you are so touchy（易怒的）.” My face turned red and I said sharply, “You wouldn t un dersta nd. ”He followed me. “ I should, Karen, ” he said. “ You and I have a lot in com mon.

So, I said yes.Here came the show time. Carlos as the short man and I, the model, were seated at a table. From our talk the audience could tell we were falling in love. That was nothing funny yet.

I and Richard had no experienee of living in the country.But at this stage of our lives, it was excit ing to beg in a new adve nture. Besides, myparents were gone, the kids were grown and, to be honest, if I saw one more apartment build ing go up in my n eighbourhood, the top of my head was going to explode.The first win ter in our new homewas a difficult one, with more snow falli ng tha nin the past 10 years.

湖北省黄冈市2016年春季高一年级期末考试英语题目

AWhat’s it like to be a popular teen author? We asked Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, author of In the Forests of the Night to find it out.How do you come up with your ideas?I start with a minor character, and then expand on that character. In the first book, I just wrote some flat characters to pass the time. Eventually, I wanted to know more about the characters I’d created. The first things I wrote weren’t very good, but they did get me to start writing, which was important.How has your writing evolved?Every book I write, I get more into it. History is one of my passions(酷爱) right now. Sometimes I’ll take inspiration from characters in Ancient Egypt, Rome, or Mesoamerica. My first characters were flat, but now they’re like my best friends.How did you feel when your book was first published?It came as a shock. Th e first time I saw my book in print I could barely believe it. I had to tell myself, “This is real. I’m not dreaming.”What does your writing space look like?I mostly write on the computer in my room. I can write anywhere as long as it’s quiet. I also d o writing in notebooks.How do you make time for your writing?Writing is one of those things that you will make time for if you want to do it. When I have something to write, I’ll need to write it. If you love writing, you will make time for it.Do you think reading helps writing?Definitely. When you read, you get used to visualizing things in print. I’m not a big television fan, so I have always spent a lot of time reading. You learn to see things in words. You figure out how to express yourself in words. You learn the basics, and then get the ideas for your writing.What’s your advice for aspiring(有志向的) kid writers?Go out and do it. Find other people who write. Keep at it! You can always edit. Every author is his or her own worst critic. If you love to write, just do it．21．What do we know about Amelia?A．Historical characters inspire her to write.B．She likes to create perfect characters from the beginning.C．She considers In the Forests of the Night as her best novel.D．Flat characters once stopped her from improving her writing.22．When Amelia first saw her book in print, she was ________.A．amazed B．disappointed C．confused D．unconcerned 23．Which advice would Amelia most likely give us?A．The best time to write is before you go to bed.B．It is easier to start writing when you are young.C．If you want to write, there is no excuse for not writing.D．If you want to be a writer, you shouldn’t watch television.BIt would be a success story if Fullerton Union High School senior Fernando Rojas, the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade, was accepted to college. But the 17-year-old made a surprising clean sweep of every Ivy League(常春藤联合会的) college.“I didn’t think I would get into any,” Rojas said on Saturday. “When I was accepted by all the eight Ivy League colleges, it was a surprising joy.” The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks, calls, emails and letters followed from Dartmouth College, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Princeton University. Rojas was also accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and the California State University, Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas and Maria, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s. As a national speech and debate champion, Rojas thought that if he applied to the eight Ivy League colleges, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas’ speech coach at Fullerton, said, “His biggest motivation was to let his parents know that their hard work meant something.”After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64,000 a year with room and board(膳宿). He is responsible for $6,000, and Yale scholarships cover the rest. “I loved Princeton,” Rojas said. “It was a beautiful campus, but it felt very stressful. Stanford was too big.”Rojas owes his academic success to hard work and the guidance of his elder brothers. Before heading to Yale, he’s considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer in international affairs. 24．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 shows that Rojas ________.A．hoped to apply to all the eight Ivy League colleges B．contributed greatly to every Ivy League college C．was admitted by all the eight Ivy League colleges D．1iked sweeping in every Ivy League college 25．Which of the following belongs to the Ivy League colleges?A．Cornell University. B．Stanford University.C．The University of California. D．The California State University.26．How much can Rojas get from Yale University a year?A．$6,000.B．$58,000. C．$64,000.D．$70,000. 27．Which of the following helped Rojas achieve his academic success?A．His brothers’help.B．His parents' encouragement.C．His interest in Latin American studies. D．His dream of being a lawyer in international affairs.CIt is widely acknowledged that cities with some kind of functioning ecosystems make for better places for humans to live. More plants and animals in cities make for happier, healthier people.A study conducted on green spaces in Sheffield, England, for instance, revealed that the greater the biodiversity(生物多样性), the greater the psychological well-being(健康) of the city’s citizens. In Paris, researchers found that getting citizens to take part in day-long activities involving urban wildlife opened their eyes to the natural world for a time, at least.Few cities have been associated with urban ecology for as long as Berlin. “Slow economic recovery after the Second World War meant that reconstruction would take a long time. This provided local ecologists with the ideal conditions to develop an ambitious ecological research program in the bombed-out wastelands of West Berlin,” said Jens Lachmund, a sociologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.The pioneering work in Berlin had several consequences, especially the formation of significant natural spaces within the city, such as the Südgel?nde Nature Park. “Berlin has indeed benefitted a lot from being a case study in urban ecology,” said Lachmund.The recent research conducted by Mark Goddard, a biologist at the University of Leeds, and his colleagues confirmed the importance of natural spaces within an urban setting. Goddard and his team conducted a striking global analysis of bird and plant diversity, quantifying the influence of urbanization on levels of biodiversity around the world. “Functioning urban ecosystems will be extremely important to human health and well-being,” said Goddard.Cities take up just 3% of the land surface area, yet according to the most recent figure from the United Nations, some 3.6 billion people (just over 50% of the global population) now live in urban areas. By 2050, this figure is expected to rise to 6.3 billion. Without animals and plants to keep us company, it is a dark future.28．The findings in Paragraph 2 are mentioned to explain the link between ________.A．citizens and their well-being B．green spaces and urban wildlifeC．urban ecology and citizens’ well-being D．functioning ecosystems and the natural world 29．What would be Goddard’s attitude towards Berlin’s work?A．Cautious.B．Negative. C．Uncaring.D．Admiring.30．The author uses figures in the last paragraph to show ________.A．the negative effect of overpopulation B．the importance of urban ecosystemsC．the serious problems of city life D．the rapid growth of urban areas31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Should more people live in urban areas? B．Should Berlin have more natural spaces?C．Should cities be for animals and plants too? D．Should the global population be controlled now?DOne day last month, I read a story about two teachers who gave awards to their students. The awards were 1abeled the “8th Annual Ghetto(贫民区) Classroom Awards,” They were intended to be “light-hearted” and the teachers didn’t mean anything bad. One student was recognized for his academic difficulties with the award.The world learned about it because his mother posted it on social media. She wasn’t proud. She was angry, confused and hurt for her son. Did I mention that the students to whom the awards were given were in a class for kids who receive special services for learning disabilities? Yes, the “Ghetto Classroom” was the special education classroom.When I read this story, I was sure of three things：That student got the message that he was a loser; he would never forget those teachers; he would head to high school without a lot of confidence.Humor can be tricky. I learned this the hard way, in my first year of teaching. Someone mentioned that one of my students, whom I had placed into the “athletic” category, had taken ballet lessons for years, and I gently teased her for it. At least I thought it was gentle. I also thought it was okay, until the day when she came to me after class and told me that it hurt her feelings and she’d like me to stop.I’m thankful every day that she had the courage to talk to me.
