AIn early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren’t that bad, are they?”“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people.

All we assume (猜测) is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.9. We learn from the text that language might have begun with _______.A. expressionsB. actionsC. signsD. sounds10. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words.B. The importance of old words.C. The relation of human experience with words.D. The gradual change and development of words.11. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully.B. Make musical speeches.C. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.DMany people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车). But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the work er move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he becamewell-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one."The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans lovedthe Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.12.What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.13.Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.14.“That sale” in Paragrap h 4 refers to .A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced pricesB. the sale of Model T tothe mass of peopleC. he selling of a car to a Detroit doctorD. the sales target for the Ford Company15.What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror.

Check out our list of four films.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanRelease Date: November 4Story: It’s the summer before Harry Potter’s third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A dangerous murderer, Sirius Black, has escaped from the Wizards’ Prison. And he was ordered to kill Harr y Potter.Around the World in 80 DaysRelease Date: November 16Story: This version of the classic novel set in 1872 focuses on Passepartout ( Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan), a Chinese thief who seeks refuge (庇护) with a strange London adventurer, Phileas Fogg. Passepartout uses his martial art skills(军事技能) to defend Fogg from danger as he travels around the world in 80 days.Spider-Man 2Release Date: November 30Story: Peter Parker is still coming to accept his dual identity (双重身份) as the crime superhero Spider-Man. He wants to reveal his secret identity to Mary Jane, meanwhile, his Aunt May is in trouble. This is Dr Otto Octavius who has appeared to bring her a lot of troubles.King ArthurRelease Date: November 7Story: King Arthur is presented as a clever ruler who manages to unite all the knights in Britain. Under the guidance of Merlin and the beautiful, brave Guinevere, Arthur will struggle to realize his dreams.1. When can you see the film acted by Jackie Chan?A. November 4B. November 30C. November 16.D. November 7.2. In Spider-Man 2, Aunt May’s trouble is caused by______.A. Spider-ManB. Peter ParkerC. Mary JaneD. Dr Otto Octavius3. What kind of article of this passage?A. A news reportB. A funny diary.C. An advertisement.D. A composition.BAn African proverb says that a single hand cannot tie a bundle. Everyone needs companions to help them sail through the rough seas of life. Even the strongest and richest person still needs friends. Our money and strength would have no value if we had no friends to share with us. The best friendship is a give-and-take relationship. We need the support of our family, friends and the community. In turn we also give support to the society, our friends and our family.The word “friend” has many meanings. It could be the bus driver who takes you to and from work every day. It could be a parent, a colleague, a wife or husband, a brother or sister, or even the unknown person who helped you just once when you could not find your way. Real friends share not only our happiness but our sorrows as well. This may explain why we have the expression “a friend in need is a friend indeed”.Friendship is like the sunshine that keeps us warm. It is like the refreshing raindrops on the fields that give the farmers hope of a good planting season. Without friends our life would be like a desert where our only friend would be loneliness and sadness. The most fortunate person is the one who has friends from all levels in the society. A driver might find friends not only among his colleagues but among farmers, bankers, traders, students, politicians or teachers. We should never forget our old friends when we make new ones. We should treasure each of our friends whether poor or rich, beautiful or not. Each friend is unique in his or her own way. And alltogether, they enrich life and make it very colourful.4. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How to sail through the sea of life.B. Friends and friendship.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Never forget old friends when making new ones.5. What is the correct understanding of friends according to the writer?A. Friends who share our happiness are not real friends.B. Friends will take us through rough seas.C. Friends never expect anything from others.D. Friends can be different people around us.6. An unknown person can be a friend as well when .A. he helps you with what you needB. he is told how to find his wayC. he becomes one of your familyD. he is a driver taking you from and to work7. The underlined word “unique” in the last paragraph most probably means “”.A. specialB. poorC. richD. valuableCMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups.Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups -- blue, white and transparent glass -- to do an experiment.In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the colour brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest. “Our study clearly shows that the colour of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffe e,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”“Anyhow, the effect of the colour of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the colour of their cups, ” he added.However, the idea that colour can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.8. What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?A. Blue.B. Brown.C. White.D. Transparent.9. The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.① different brands of coffee ② different colored coffee cups③ several volunteers ④ several manufacturesA. ① ②B. ② ③C. ② ④D. ③ ④10. Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.11. According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups.DPeter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to ear n whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay (干草) farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.（干草棚） It was a hot, low paying job.He once worked a few nights a week at a grocer y store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber（废旧家具）yard. It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and dry wall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and ge t a 2year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.12. How many jobs had Peter taken?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six13.All the jobs Peter had taken had one thing in common:________.A. They were done during his vacationB. They were dull and tiresomeC. They needed hard labourD. They didn’t pay well14. ________was the most important for Peter if he wanted a good job.A. ConfidenceB. EducationC. OpportunityD. Wisdom15. We can learn from the text that________.A. Peter knew what to do for his futureB. Peter’s father didn’t care about himC. it was very hard for Peter to make his choicesD. Peter was determined to do whatever he liked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。

AWant to support animals in need? Here are three ways to show them some love.Grounds & HoundsWhen you buy any item from Jordan Karcher's coffee company, Grounds & Hounds, part of the proceeds (收入) go to shelter near you.In2015,Grounds & Hounds' donations helped partners provide blankets, food and services for about 2,000 rescue animals.Tel:888-228-8914E-mail: info @ groundsand Fetch Eyewear and the Pixie ProjectIn 2004, Ann Sacks founded Fetch Eyewear, a company that sells stylish frames at affordable prices. Three years later, she launched the Pixie Project —a nonprofit project that offers free and low-cost treatment of animal diseases and injuries and rescues pets from overloaded shelters across the country —and 100 percent of Fetch's profits now benefit the charity. To date, the two organizations have helped with more than 5,000 pet adoptions and about 1,000 surgeries.Adoption:503-542-3433Fax:503-542-3437Fur for the AnimalsFur for the Animals, run by the animal advocacy group Born Free USA is a campaign( open through December 31) that collects unwanted furs and donates them to wildlife rehabilitation (康复) centers. The furs are used by injured creatures that need to feel cozy and comforted. More than 1,000 pounds of furs have already made their way to animals in need throughout the U.S.Tel:011-5952-544021．Through Grounds & Hounds, how can you help animals?A．By getting a pet. B．By donating money to it.C．By buying coffee from it. D．By volunteering your services.22．Which number should you call to donate unneeded furs?A．011-5952-5440. B．503-542-3433C．888-288-8914. D．503-542-3437.23．What do we know about the Pixie Project?A．It sells cheap frames. B．It benefits Fetch EyewearC．It is a highly profitable business. D．It works together with animal shelters.24．The passage mainly wants to show the readers________.A．how to profit from animalsB．the three ways to show love to animalsC．the success they have gotD．how kind they are to animalsBI’m fond of EHS because English is my favorite subject. Though that sounds like the beginning paragraph of a suck-up(奉承者), it’s true. I love reading and writing, and while I may not be the best at it, certainly try my hardest. I intend to run for EHS Vice President, along with Jordan Pincus, because I feel that’s the best position for me in this Honor Society. I want to be able to share my own ideas on how to better improve EHS without being the absolute top, and what better position for that than Vice President.I feel I’m qualified for this position because I’m full of great ideas and love English. I actually get English, and get along very well with others, which is very important for a board member. As a team, Jordan and I work very well together. Despite some disagreeing from time to time, the two of us actually end up getting more done at a faster pace, and because we spend most of our time together, communication issues are not a problem. Nothing is better for Vice Presidents than to have two people who are always together. On top of that, we are both devoted to anything we start, so EHS will never be ignored by either of us.I will contribute all I can to EHS, whether in making sure meetings run smoothly or finding new projects/events for the club to do as a whole. I personally believe that I am fit for the job and will be able to perform tasks above the highest exceptions placed on me, which may sound a little prejudiced but I really think I'm fit for this! Thank you for reading this and taking me into account.25．Why does the author want to be EHS Vice President?A．He is very good at English. B．He has a talent for leadership.C．He is very willing to help others. D．He thinks he is fit for the position.26．What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 2?A．The author and Jordan can cooperate well.B．The author and Jordan are good friends.C．Jordan often quarrels with the author.D．Communication is very important for friends.27．What does “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Being EHS Vice President. B．Being always together.C．Communicating with each other. D．Having good ideas.28．What can we know about EHS?A．It is shor t for “Honor Society”.B．It is a club related to English.C．It can improve the students’ results.D．It often organizes some activities.CBiologists from Boise State University have been making noise in the forests of the western American state of Idaho. They are making noise to study the value of quiet in nature. They want to know how people and animals react to noise pollution.The researchers placed outdoor speakers on the side of a half-kilometer-long part of a road in the Boise National Forest. For two years, they played the sounds of passing cars through the speakers.Professor Jesse says they found the sounds caused migratory （迁徙的）birds to flee. The birds also failed to gain weight.Recently, researchers played sounds of machines that are used to remove natural gas from the ground. That sound is heard in natural gas fields throughout the American West. Professor Barber says these experiments are designed to help researchers learn the effects of noise pollution on birds, insects, bats, and people."We are testing the idea that these things are coupled -- that as the soundscape gets louder, wildlife suffers. But that also feeds back on to how much people get out of that experience, how much they value it, and thus how much they are willing to protect that same place."The research team also studied a group of volunteers who watch birds for fun. Mitch Levenhagen is a graduate student in the research team. He measured how much the artificial noise lessened the ability of the birdwatchers to recognize recorded bird songs.The birdwatchers said the artificial noise affected their ability to recognize bird sounds more than they thought it would. Birdwatcher Jim Lyons said the experiment caused him to value quiet more."I moved out of the city to a little place in the country where I wanted it to be quiet. I greatly value that. It is hard to find those places more and more. There are lots of ways to mitigate（减轻）sound. But it is trade-off. There is always a cost. And it comes down to people's values. What do we value more." said V olunteer Janice Engle.29．What is the purpose of carrying out the research?A．To prevent people making any noise in their daily life.B．To find out the effect noise has on humans and animals.C．To call on many more people to protect the environment.D．To encourage people to keep quiet while they are in nature.30．By playing sounds of machines, the researchers try to make the findings ________.A．impressive B．unique C．instructive D．convincing31．What have some volunteers realized after the experiment?A．The great importance of quiet in nature.B．The big price humans will pay for health.C．The great value of a sharp sense of hearing.D．The necessity of protecting wildlife in nature.DJeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Richard Branson have a combined net worth of 400 billion, roughly the size of the GDP of the entire nation of Ireland. And all three men have decided to put vast sums of their wealth into chasing their space travel dreams, creating a modern space race in which ultra — rich men — rather than countries — shoot for the stars.But why the three billionaires choose the crazy plan? Just for the travel dreams? It’s not that simple.As we all know, the space travel is a mirror of comprehensive national strength, whether it’s the cold war or the present. The first space race spanned multiple presidents and premiers —Kennedy, Krushchev, Brezhnev, Nixon. It made heroes of astronauts and cosmonauts, and it focused national prides. But obviously, this year’s race between the billionaires feat ures none of that national pride or opposing ideas. It’s tax — averse tycoons (大亨) who want to sell high — priced tickets to rich people interested in experiencing weightlessness. Amazon’s Bezos has said he is funding his portion by sellingoff large chunks of his Amazon stock (股票) — 1 billion or more a year.What are the odds? If anyone is taking bets on how this will end, and who will have the more profitable space tourism business, consider Amazon’s method of making very little profit in order to eat up competition. So, from this point of view, what’s hiding behind this crazy race is business. As a method of expand influence, it is not a bad idea.Richard Branson has carried out his plan on July 12, and Jeff Bezos announced that he will start his space tr avel on July 20. Bezos is getting some good press because he’s taking Wally Funk along for the ride. She’s the pilot now in her 80s who was kept out of space in the 1960s because she’s a woman. This may be a bonus for him. As for Musk, he thinks these two above are not real space trips, he wants a larger move.Who will win the race in the end? Let’s wait and see.32．Which of the following people might be the potential client of the space travel?A．Daisy aged 45 with a heavy debt.B．Clarkson who doesn’t enjo y taking risks.C．Billy aged 60 with an ample retirement pension.D．Alexander who knows nothing about space travel.33．What stopped Wally Funk flying to space in the 1960s?A．Age. B．Gender. C．Height. D．Weight34．What does the author think of the billionaires race?A．Profit — driven. B．Meaningless. C．Foolish. D．Generous.35．What does the underlined word “spanned” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Revolved. B．Turned down. C．Entered. D．Included.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中有两项为多余选项。

AWhen building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.1．What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A．The climate of their areasB．The energy for their housesC．The fashions for their housesD．The building materials for their houses2．People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.A．Keeping their livestock downstairsB．Protecting their livestock from the coldC．Sharing their houses only with their cowsD．Living on the second floor with their livestock3．The underlined words “natural law” in th e third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.A．Heat raises the temperature in the housesB．Heat goes in the upward directionC．Heat goes up if temperature is raisedD．Heat increases the temperature of rocks4．From the passage, we can conclude that __________.A．People will no longer consider building materials in the futureB．Energy saving buildings will become more popular in the futureC．Almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD．Energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.BThe arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.5．What does the underlined phrase “glued to” in the second paragraph mean?A．unwilling to turn on B．always lookingC．unwilling to leave D．always playing6．The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _______________.A．give children self-expression and self-confidenceB．bring to children achievement and successC．give children something to be proud ofD．develop children’s self-confidence7．What’s the best title of this passage？A．Music is a must as a course at schoolB．Music builds children’s self-confidenceC．Music makes students much smarterD．Learning music and making musicCReading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the learned in the early days of the history, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become popular.One should be careful, however, of supposing that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is distraction（分散注意力）to others. Examination of reasons connected with the historical development of silent reading shows that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a gradual increase in literacy（读写能力）and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of listeners dropped, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the popularity of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, trains and offices, where reading aloud would disturb other readers in a way.Towards the end of the century there was still heated argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its advantages are, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and magazines for a specialized readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being advised to have some new ideas of books and to use skills in reading them which were not proper, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological developments in the century had greatly changed what the term “reading” referred to.8. The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century showed_______.A. a change in the position of literate peopleB. a change in the nature of readingC. an increase in the number of booksD. an increase in the average age of readers9. Educationalists are still arguing about__________.A. the importance of silent readingB. the amount of information provided by books and newspapersC. the effects of reading on healthD. the value of different types of reading material10. What is the writer of this passage attempting to do?A. To explain how present day reading habits developed.B. To change people’s way to read.C. To show how reading methods have improved.D. To encourage the growth of reading.第二节阅读填空（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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver orabdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.4.According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause of accidental poisonings?A.A harmful medicineB. A cleaning liquidC. Poisonous insectsD. Dangerous pesticide(杀虫剂)5. The underlined word “expelled” in paragragh2 can be replaced by “”.A. coming outB. taking upC. going awayD. getting down6. Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?A. Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue effortsB. Because it is hard to performC. Because it is no need to do soD. Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim7. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?A. To promote medical researchB. To share some knowledge about first aidC. To show how to perform abdominal thrustsD. To help people deal withaccidental poisoningCAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there;s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. this applies also to some extent to London.In contract, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with. 8．Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The DutchB. AmericansC. The EnglishD. The Japanese9．What might the Japanese agree with a in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper handB. Speak out what you have in your mindC. Great minds think alike without wordsD. The shorter talking silence, the better10．What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. SimilarityB. ContradictionC. DiversityD. Misunderstanding11．What can we learn from the text?A. A four second silence in conversation is universalB. It’s hard for American to reach a common agreementC. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakersD. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appearsDCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt （沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool offthe city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”12．Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.13．What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.D. When to cut off the electricity supply.14．What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.15．What’s the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.第二节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.根据内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The longer you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it．Although it is important to recognize what has gone before，it is also necessary to detail the action you plan to take to rectify whatever it was you did wrong．Research has shown that someindication that you have thought about what future action you plan to take is always well received．A letter of apology should be brief and the word “sorry” should appear no more than twice．Indicate that you are aware you are using it a second time “once again，I’m so sorry for” or “as I saidearly，I’m so sorry about” F inally，the tone of the letter has to be sincere．In fact，all the above factors will help in this respect．And don’t think that letters are out of date in the Email-oriented 21st century．An apology email can be worse than no apology at all!45．What kind of advice does the text suggest about apologizing?A．It’s a good idea to write a letter of apology as soon as something goes wrong．B．It’s a good idea to send several emails to apologize and showthat you mean it．C．Write a long letter apologizing several times to make your point．D．Wait to see how they react to your letter before planning to do anything46．What kind of things do you NOT apologize for ?A．Services that are not as good as they should be． B．Real mistakes．C．Car accidents． D．Causing anger or hurt．47．According to the writer，you should not after you have made a mistake．A．waste time worrying about what happened B．write an effective letter of apologyC．avoid what happened D．recognize what has gone before48．The underlined word “rectify” meansA．to correct B．to improve C．to put aside D．to apologizeC“Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor on seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind or at least known in my neighborhood.One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.Roses require a good de al of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.Here I am faced with a painful small decision To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twentyripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ll think about that tomorrow.49．What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses ?A．A lot of care and the right soil.

1. What you have just read is a ________.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster2. How much do you have to pay in total if four of you go together?A. $20.B. $40.C. $60.D. $80.3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tickets are sold in Kwun Tong High School.B. It’s unnecessary to take soft drinks with you.C. Free digital cameras are provided for everybody.D. Festival food will be served without extra charge.BY ou're in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. Y ou listen to their conversation: I can't believe it-a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn't it beautiful? And it's a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome."They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater. It's nice and the price is right. Y ou've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish. They must know. So, you buy it. Y ou never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency. They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo Bertolla clothes.Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating. If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too. This is the secret of undercover marketing. Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it. Undercover marketing is important because it reaches people that don't pay attention to traditional advertising. This is particularly true of the MTV generation-consumers between the age of 18 and 34. It is a golden group. They have a lot of money to spend, but they don't trust ads. So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go. Some people might call this practice deceptive (骗人的), but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative. "Look at traditional advertising. Its effectiveness is decreasing."However, one might ask what exactly is "real" about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Advertising executives would say it's no less real than an ad. The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something. Y ou don’t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.4. The two attractive young women were talking so that they could _____.A. get the sweater at a lower priceB. be heard by people aroundC. be admired by other shoppersD. decide on buying the sweater5. Lorenzo Bertolla is _____.A. a very popular male singerB. an advertising agencyC. a clothing company in RomeD. the brand name of a sweater6. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The two girls are in fact employed by the Lorenzo Bertolla Company.B. The MTV generation tend to be more easily influenced by ads.C. Traditional advertising is becoming less effective because it's too direct.D. Undercover marketing will surely be banned soon by the government.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Two Attractive ShoppersB. Lorenzo Bertolla SweatersC. Ways of AdvertisingD. Undercover MarketingCWinter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels (松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now atthe University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.8. The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A．find out the living conditions for squirrels B．learn squirrels’influence on black walnut trees C．do something to get rid of squirrels D．save the forests in the American state of Indiana9.The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A．the way they gather the walnut B．the time they have winter sleepC．the place they have winter sleep D．the place they store the walnuts10. Professor Swihart’s study shows that________.A．red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsB．gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsC．red squirrel’s way to store nuts stops nuts growing.D．black walnuts are harmful to other animals11. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A．The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.B．Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.C．Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.D．The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.DDear Gregory,Merry Christmas!
