However, not all the p ersons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened b y the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave(织)cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels(分贝)can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.56. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. air pollutionB. water pollutionC. noise pollutionD. world pollution57. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can makepeople deaf.A. less than 85B. less than 65C. about 65D. more than 8558. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .A. they are working in noisy placesB. they often listen to pop musicC. they live near airportsD. they are too busy to listen to others’talk59. The government of China is trying to reduce ______.A. only the air pollutionB. only the air and water pollutionC. only the water pollutionD. the air, water and noise pollutionBThese days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Y es, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:Surf at speedCellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation(3G) net works let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.Listen as you goThe problem with most cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.Say cheeseCamera cellphones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’srecent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.Portable TVY ou say you like ―watching TV‖? That’s what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programs—for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM 7400 and NEC’s N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TV—no fee.The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator… So what is there that a cellphone can’t do?60.Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?A.Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620B.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Sumsung’s SPH-V5400C.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940D.Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N94061.What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?A.It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speedB.It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion videoC.It can hold as many as 150 songsD.It lets you watch public TV for free62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely newB.Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.C.It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near futureD.Today’s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer63.This passage may be___.A.an instruction to some new models of cellphonesB.an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphonesC. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attentionD. a survey to find the development of cellphones.CWithout proper training, dogs will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroying your belongings, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfect normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at wrong thing.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it’s the foundation for solving just about any problems. Training opens us a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social order. When your dogs obeys a simple request of ―Come here, sit‖, it is showing obedience and respect for you.. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群) by using extreme measures. Y ou can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to accept that youare in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.64.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to___.A. get worse in modern societyB. occur only when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to society65.The primary purpose of obedience training is____.A.to enable the dog to regain its normal behaviorB.to make the dog aware of its owner’s authority(权威)C.to teach the dog to perform tricksD.to teach the dog to serve its owner66.Effective communication between a dog and its owner is___.A. an extreme measure in obedience trainingB. a good way to teach the dog new tricksC. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksD. essential(必不可少的) to solve the dog’s behavior problem67.Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A. to show their willingness to obeyB. to show their affection for their mastersC. to avoid being punishedD.to win leadership of the dog packDThe young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民) camp playing with an empty tin. Other children were standing around watching him withenvious eyes.Envy? Of an empty tin?This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash-----it was a splendid truck, complete with wheels and grille(铁棚) and floor. The vehicle even had remote control, a frayed piece of string from the ―engine‖ to the hand of the owner.The tin had lost all its original markings. But its first load had probably been sardine. Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic, and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions into the ―big world‖.For thousands of refugee children, a tin like this rates high on their list o f wants. It can be used for many purposes, as jewellery, as a toy, for drinking or asa medicine box.Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted.Maybe a book to read, or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.Their imagination can create toys, but it can’t create books. Someone else must provide them. A more costly and valuable gift they can’t imagine.68.Other children envied the young boy because the boy .A.had a real truck toyB.got some sardines to eatC.received a handful of marblesD.had something to play with69. What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?A.The society should donate some toys for the refugee childrenB.The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creativeC.The society should offer the refugee children things for studyD.The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.An Enviable Toy PresentB. A Splendid TruckC.Sardine Tin------A Precious ToyD. A Poor Refugee CampEHave you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? Y ou probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.―On the contrary,‖says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, ―daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day---. Y ou can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.‖Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, ―We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures---. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.‖Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.Daydreams cannot be predicted: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.71. The writer of this passage considers daydreams __________.A. hard to understandB. important and helpfulC. harmful and unimportantD. the same as sleep dreams72. The writer quoted L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to ________.A. point out the wrong ideas of early expertsB. list out two different ideasC. support his own ideasD. report the latest research on daydreams73. Which of the following is true?A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creations.C. Professor Eric Klinges has a better idea than L. Gimabra.D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.74. Experts now believe that ________.A. daydreams cause some mental illnessB. daydreams are not easy to control and directC. the more daydreams you have, the more you’ll achieve.D. people fear as long for daydreams75. What is the difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that ofconscious mindC. Daydreams are easy to understand.D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.第二卷(共25分)第一节根据首字母提示,写出下列句中所缺单词(每小题1分,满分10分)1. Billy crystal is my favourite stand-up c___________.2.

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4.What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A.attached B.combinedC.fixed D.repaired5.Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A.The design and color.B.The reasonable price.C.The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D.The company’s advertisement.6.What is the purpose of the text?A.To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B.To describe the process of making shoes.C.To advertise a new kind of shoes.D.To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.(8分)CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.

The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path,one on each side,to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say,"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was,"I know I am not very useful,but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ,at least.’’One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual,he said,"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back,and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed,on the side where the new bucket was carried,there was just bare earth;on the other side where the old bucket was carried,there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.7.What was the old bucket ashamed of?A.Its past.B.Its aging.C.Its manner.D.Its leaking. 8.What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A.Dirty.B.Dark.C.Worn out.D.Ordinary-looking.9.The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A.take pity on the old one B.laugh at the old oneC.show off its good look D.praise the gardener's kindness10.Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A.Because it was used to keep a balance.B.Because it stayed in its best condition.C.Because it had its own advantage.D.Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)4.(10分)二:七选五(每小题2分,满分10分)When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11.Take extra Vitamin D.Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression.

高二12月月考(英语)(考试总分:120 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计4小题,总分30分)1.(6分)AA famous magazine, Amusement Today, does a survey among parks lovers every year both in the US and overseas, based on which, “Top 5 List of the Best Amusement Parks in the World” has come out as follows:Disneyland, CaliforniaDisneyland is a theme park in Anaheim, California, the US. More than 515 million guests have traveled to this American landmark from around the world since the park first opened to guests on July 17, 1955. The park consists of many world-famous sections, such as Main Street, Adventure land, New Orleans Square, and so on.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, FloridaMagic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando opened on October 1, 1971. It is the most famous theme park in Florida. The park’s design and attractions don’t make much difference from Disneyland Park in Anaheim.EPCOT, Disney World, FloridaEPCOT is the second theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, and was named EPCOT Center from 1982 to 1993. It was the largest Disney theme park in the world until 1998, when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened.Disney-MGM Studios, FloridaMGM’s streets are the home for some great movie-themed attractions with a history of less than 30years. With the addition of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Rock and Roller Coaster, the park is now home to Disney World’s most thrilling rides.Universal Studios, FloridaGo behind the scenes, beyond the screen and jump right into the action of your favoritemovies at Universal Studios, the number one movie and TV theme park in the world. 1.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To attract tourists to these theme parks.B.To introduce world’s best amusement parks.C.To increase the sales of Amusement Today.D.To compare attractions in different theme parks.2.Which of the following theme parks have similar attractions?A.Disneyland & Universal Studios.B.EPCOT & Disney-MGM Studios.C.Disneyland & Magic Kingdom.D.Magic Kingdom & Universal Studios.3.Which park has the longest history?A.Disneyland, California.B.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Florida.C.EPCOT, Disney World, Florida.D.Disney-MGM Studios, Florida.2.(8分)BIf you thought pilots dimmed(调暗)the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts toa dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” timesince you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 4.The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A.escape in time of emergencyB.take a short breakC.create a comfortable atmosphereD.enjoy themselves5.Which of the following is true according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A.Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B.Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C.Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D.It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.6.What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A.Slowing down the landing.B.Adjusting the plane lights.C.Keeping passengers calm.D.Helping the crew judge outside risks.7.What is the text mainly about?A.A tip to make air travel safer.B.An emergency event happening on a plane.C.An explanation of an airline safety measure.D.A warning message from the pilot.3.(8分)CHundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches(沟壕)to install their own cables(电缆). The tiny village in Michaelston-y-Fedw, with a populationof 300, clubbed together after being unable to download films, stream music or connect to online banking. Farmers, teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband(宽带).The project cost around £250,000 with villagers paying£150,000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed. They were also able to obtain£100,000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme.The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections. Ben Longman, owner of the Cefn Mably Arms, said, “We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was. I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work.”One of the organizers, Carina Dunk, 61, said it was fantastic what the village had achieved. She said, “It used to take a few days to download a film; now it takes less than a minute. Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore. Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something.”A year after the project, most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1,000mps broadband connection.However, Richard Raybould, 59, is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait. He said, “It is amazing what skills people in the community have. There are experts and farmers who dig trenches. I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before.”8.What can we learn about the villagers?A.They had no access to the Internet.B.They usually didn’t have much free time.C.They didn’t know how to use the Internet correctly.D.They considered their Internet connection disappointing.9.To have their own cables, the villagers had to_______.A.partly cover the costB.employ workers to dig trenchesC.donate £100,000 to EU fundingD.get the local government’s permission10.What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk’s words?A.Explain the cause of the project.B.Explain the process of the project.C.Show the benefits from the project.D.Show the villagers’ attitudes toward the project.11.What would be the best title for the text?A.Villagers obtain access to the InternetB.Villagers dream of super fast broadbandC.Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadbandD.Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections4.(8分)DWhy are photos and videos of cats high-fiving suddenly popping up on social media?Ask Jackson Galaxy, who launched Cat Pawsitive last year, a program that encourages animal shelters to teach cats how to do tricks to make them more attractive for adoption.The idea is simple. A kitty that can sit on command or give a high five shows that it can listen to instructions and connect with others. A high five can make a shy cat open up, Galaxy said.“Big life changes can lead to cats losing their confidence, and we help those cats to feel more confident and to feel safe interacting with new people.” Christie Rogero, program manager for Cat Pawsitive, said.And Stephen Holdeman, training manager at the KC Pet Project, added: “All we need to train a cat to do tricks is the right amount of patience, timing and motivation.” He uses a technique called “operant conditioning (操作性条件反射)”, which associates a cat’s action with getting a reward such as a favorite food or treat.He also uses a clicker—a training device that makes a clicking noise. “In the initial stage, we get the cat used to the idea that when it hears the sound of the clicker, one of its favorite treats appears. After we have bridged these two ideas together we can use the clicker to reinforce different actions the cat does to let it know that if it repeats the action, it will get a treat.”After several repetitions, the cat starts to link everything together. Now all you need to do is let your extended hand be the target, and we’ve got a high five.12.According to the text, how can learning tricks benefit cats at animal shelters?A.It is a good way for shelters to raise money.B.It allows them to pick up skills to stay safe.C.It helps them interact more with each other.D.It helps them build confidence and get adopted.13.According to the text, what should be done from the start to train cats to learn tricks? A.Teaching them different actions.B.Teaching them how to use a clicker.C.Making them patient enough to repeat actions.D.Helping them connect the sound of a clicker with treats.14.What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A.record B.strengthenC.ignore D.reward15.What is the main purpose of the article?A.To explain how to train cats to perform tricks.B.To show how cats are treated at animal shelters.C.To describe the popularity of cats on social media.D.To inform us of a program that trains cats to do tricks.二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)5.(10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

According to a study whichwas published on March 16 in the journal PLOS Genetics, people who live in a placewith warm and moist conditions commonly have wider noses while those that live in cold and dry locations have narrower noses.Mark Shriver, a geneticist and anthropologist(人类学家)at Pennsylvania State University, together with his team of international researchers from the United States,Ireland and Belgium, measured and compared noses across populations using 3D facial imaging.The study is not the first one to identify the relationship between nose shape and air temperature and moisture content. However, it is the first one to use nose measurement from actual people.“Many people have tested the question with measurements of the skull, but no one had done measurements on live people, " said lead author Mark Shriver from Pennsylvania State University.As reported by Science Recorder, all in all, faces of 476 from four geographical locations —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe were used in the study. However, their ancestry genetic measurements were also taken into consideration.The researchers concluded that while the differences in nose shape were indeed inluenced by genetie drift, which refers to the change in frequency of certain genes due to deaths and movement of people across borders,natural selection also played its role.Narrower nasalpassages assist in increasing the moisture content of air and warm it.Since peopl e with narrower ones adapted better,they survived more and therefore produced more offspring. As such,there is a gradual decrease in people with wider nose in the area.24.People in the South of China generally tend to________.A.have wider noseB.have narrower noseC.be more easygoingD.enjoy dry and cold weather25.How did Marker's researchers do their research?A.By studying the skulls.B.By doing research online.C.By measuring noses of the people.D.By offering more moisture for people26.Which of the following can influence nose shapes?A.Body height.B.Local tradition.C.Local climateD.Body weight.27.What are people with narrow nose able to do?A.Raise more of their children.B.Adapt to cold weather better.C.Survive in hot weather conditionsD.Keep their ancestry from their parents.8.(8分) CKannisto and her six sons visited a local barber' s shop to have their hair cut and donatedit to an organization that provides hair replaeements for kids with medically related hair loss.Kannisto has a l0-year-old son, Andre, 8-year-old twin sons, 5-year old triplets and a 2-year-old daughter.Kannisto said the motivation behind the haircuts was personal for the whole family.“Three years ago, my friend lost her son to cancer, " she said.“He was a twin and very close in age to my twins. On the first anniversary of his passing. my three oldest boys donated theirhair in his memory. Since their donation two years ago, our lives have continued to be touched by cancer. It's everywhere. My boys want to help, and donating their hair is how they do it.”Her three oldest sons participated in donating for the first time in 2015.The donation afew days ago marked the first time her triplets were able to contribute. Kannisto said they waited until everyone’s hair reached the minimum length for donations before they all got their haircuts. It took quite some time for everyone to be ready.Andre grew his hair out for a year, the twins grew their hair for almost two years and the triplets grew their hair for five years. They're already planning their next donation, too, since their little sister wants to participate.Her hair wasn't long enough to donate this time.She said her sons had been teased a lot for their long hair since they decided to grow it outand donate it. They explain the process of hair donation to their peers, but some of them just don't get it. Luckily, her sons have developed “a thick skin” and ignore the criticism,knowing they 're helping others in need.Kannisto is “so proud” of her boys and thinks that their mission is“amazing.”28. What does the underlined word “triplets”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Three sons.B.Many relatives.C. Kids with hair loss.D. Children with caneer.29.What is the reason for Kannisto's sons donating their hair?A.Both fame and wealth.B. Their personal cure to cancer.C. Their memory of a lost friend.D. Modeling themselves on their parents.30.Why did the Kannistos have to wait before the donation?A. The little sister's hair was too short.B. Every child's hair grows at different rates.C. It's long before somebody wants their hair.D. They must find a right barber to have their hair cut.31. What is Kannisto's children's attitude towards others'tease?A. Inspired.B. Annoyed.C. Desperate.D. Indifferent.9.(8分)DWhether a single parent or otherwise, bringing up a child can be quite a discouraging experience as well as being a lot of fun. As a parent myself, I wanted my child to have the lifeI never had, so I enrolled my daughter in all types of activities such as dancing, piano lessons,theatre groups and sports acti vities. I had her privately tutored for maths and even looked into private schooling. While all of this is good for developing a child's confidence, it's no guarantee that the child will grow to fit your expectations in later life.In some cases a child may inwardly resent(憎恶)the pressure of being involved in so many things all at once, and become bored over a period of time. One of the best ways toreally encourage your child to do well in life is to be the example for them. Children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents or at least one of them.This is how family businesses are handed down through generations.Believe it or not, the parent is the greatest mentor(导师)and influence in the life of a child. It's interesting to note that they judge their own measure by that of their parents even if they don't get along with them, it takes place unconsciouslyYoung minds will follow their mentors such as parents and teachers. So it's not surprising that if you sign yourself into adult education classes.chances are your child will be keen to follow you even if it' s later in their life.Leading by example is the best way to educatechildren of all ages.It's not difficult when children get to know your movements.Children will almost always judge themselves on what their parents do. The strongest influences are in and around what you do in the home and even outside of it, so make sure your ticking all the right boxes yourself and it's a win situation.32 According to the text, what the author had done for her daughter ________.A. proved to be of little valueB. resulted in great suecessC. greatly influenced her later lifeD. cost the author too much money33. How are some family businesses handed down from parents to children?A. Children are interested in the businesses.B. Children follow in the parents'footsteps.C. Parents allow the children to run the businesses.D. Children have received enough education.34. How should we educate our children?A.Read to them successful storiesB. Set good examples to them.C. Find them qualified mentorsD. Let them gain different experienees35. Why should parents behave themselves well?A. Children hate too much pressures on them.B. Children can never believe themselves easily.C. Children know little about their movements.D.Children will follow their examples.三、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)10.(10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat.Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her “Little Sure Shot”. Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant. Posters (海报) for the show called her the “Champion Markswoman”.During World War One, Annie Oakley wanted to train a group of women volunteers for the army, but the United States did not accept it. She gave American soldiers shooting lessons, and traveled across the country visiting many training camps. She gave shooting performances and raised money to support the American soldiers.Annie Oakley died on November 3, 1926.Eighteen days later, Frank Butler died too.9.According to the passage, Annie Oakley ______.A.lived a hard life as a childB.often went hunting with her familyC.joined the army during World War OneD.trained women soldiers during the war10.Which of the following shows best that Annie was skilled at shooting?A.She put on shows as her husband’s assistant.B.She raised money to support the American soldiers.C.She offered to help the army by training women to be soldiers.D.She could shoot animals without harming the important parts of the meat.11.Which of the following is in the RIGHT order about Annie?a.She took part in a shooting competition.b.She gave shooting demonstrations and raised money.c.She hunted animals for food.d.She put on shows with Frank Butler.e.She was called the "Champion Markswoman".f.She married Frank Butler.A.a, c, d, f, b, e B.a, c, b, e, f, dC.c, a, d, f, e, b D.c, a, f, d, e, b12.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Annie Oakley—Markswomen.B.Frank Butler—Champion Marksman.C.A Couple of Marksmen.D.Trained Woman Soldier.4.(6分)DIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills."Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said."You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34.Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better."Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A.science on learning a second languageB.man’s ability of learning a second languageC.1anguage can help brain powerD.1anguage learning and maths study14.In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A.say language is also a kind of physical laborB.prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC.to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15.The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A.a researcher on language learningB.a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC.a person who can speak two languagesD.an active language learner二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)5.(10分)第二节七选五(共5小题,每题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOne of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home fromhospital, she put him in my lap, saying “I promised you a gift, and here it is.”What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I head mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful”,and “dying”, which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming, and don’t expect any presents this year. ”Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say “what? he’s all right?”he hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home ! ”“Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My bab y doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they was not empty: they were filled with love!21. What happened to the author on September 11th, 1958 ?A. He got a baby brother.B. He got a Christmas gift as usual.C. He became four years old.D. He received a doll.22. What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ImpossibleB. BoringC. DifficultD. Fearful23. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?A. ExcitementB. HappinessC. SadnessD. Disappointment24. What is the passage mainly about ?A. A sad Christmas dayB. Life with a lovely babyC. A special Christmas gift.D. Memories of a happy familyBHow do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure. They realize that their future lies in t heir own hands. They understand that they cannot control some things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separate successfulpeople from others is that they live their life “on purpose” — they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. Because of their commitment (投身; 献身), people are willing to do business with them, and it is always found in them.To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Instead of seeing it negatively or depressingly, they use the knowledge to inspire themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.25. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. How Successful People Do Business.B. How People Live Their Life on purpose.C. How Can People Be Successful?D. How Can People Do Their Own Things?26. By living life “on purpose”, succ essful people can ______.A. do a lot of hard workB. concentrate on their jobsC. do business with many peopleD. do all of the above mentioned27. The underlined word “it’’ in the second paragraph refers to ______.A. the main concern of successful peopleB. the job that successful people doC. the commitment with successful peopleD. the business successful people doCDear John,My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog. Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate (热情的) about it, I could make my life fulfilling.All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction, Take care!Sincerely ,Amber28. Amber wrote the letter mainly to______A. introduce herself to JohnB. talk about her bad yearC. ask for some adviceD. express her thanks29. We can infer from the passage that Amber______A. didn't like her boyfriendB. spent a lot of time onlineC. wasn't sat isfied with her jobD. received very good education30. What is implied about John in the letter?A. He is a very famous writer.B. He used to live a very negative life.C. He doesn't like sharing his life stories.D. He likes helping others through writing positive blogs.31. What does Amber's change tell us?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Bad luck doesn't exist long.C. A positive attitude is rewarding.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.DWHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you’ll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on one’s earning potential shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lo ts of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to go along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun,17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each other.” They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism(交友狂症)? A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve (储备)of social contacts.But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of money?“Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the meaning of a friend,” said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Timesin the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of Friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example,a friend might be someone you might know personally or someone who could just as easilybe the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don’t actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease(润滑)the wheels of life, she also warned, “What money can’t buy is a real friend.”32. What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?A.
