总分120分，考试时间100分钟。
第一卷第一部分阅读理解（共20小题；，每小题2分，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AThink of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls i n the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand th at work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, the y will be broken. They will never be the same. You must unders tand that and try to have balance in your life. How?Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with other s. It is because we are different and each of us is special. Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we lear n how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The qui ckest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose lov e is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is togive it wings（翅膀).Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can alway s carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Y esterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; th at’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a t rip, step by step.1. The passage tells us not to _________ because everyone is s pecial.A. be afraid of difficultiesB. be afraid to learnC. run through life so fastD. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth2. The sentence “Nothing is really over until the moment you st op trying.” means that _______.A. Nothing is possibleB. If we don’t give up, there is alw ays hopeC. You should learn to give upD. Although you try, nothing will change.3.Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________A. Because time is too expensive.B. Because time never returns.C. Because we are too poor.D. Because times will get back.4. If you run through life so fast, you will ____________.A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easilyB. lose love by holding it too tightlyC. forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are g oing.D. not afraid of the difficultiesB“Come on! All of us are cutting math. Who wants to take that quiz? We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know i s right and go to math class, take the quiz? Or do you give in an d go with them?People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called pe ers（同龄人）. When they try to influence you how to act, to get you to d o something, it’s called peer pressure（压力）. It’s something everyone has to deal with—even adults. Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spe nding time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from y ou. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other peop le in your age group.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe anot her student in your science class taught you an easy way to re member the planets in the solar system. Or you got others excit ed about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading i t. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative（消极的） ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get yo u to cut class with them.It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Payin g attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right a nd wrong can help you know the right thing to do.It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure a nd you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust, a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.5. With his words in the first paragraph, the kid is ________.A. planning some interesting activities after schoolB. talking about a dinner partyC. asking other kids to take a quiz with himD. encouraging other kids to cut a class6. According to the author, _________.A. peer pressure does kids more harm than goodB. math is the most difficult subject for most kidsC. kids today are under greater pressure than beforeD. peer pressure exists among people of all age groups7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Peer pressure.B. Your time.C. Your life.D. Human nature.8. It’s suggested in the last paragraph that the readers _______.A. make more close friends while at schoolB. learn to refuse their friends in a polite wayC. get support from someone else if it’s necessaryD. build closer relations with their parents and teachersCAs a student, you must be excited to know something about Am erican school students. In fact, just like in China, in the , high sc hool is usually divided into two periods, the first two or three years are called “junior high school” and the other is “senio r high school”.In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education(which will be s tarted when they are about 6 years old) until they are 18 years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school.American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The activities are organized by the sc hool, such as joining a music group or a sports team. Certainly, just like us students in , American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high sc hool period. And students with low marks at the end of a school year are still allowed to go on to the next grade.In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other ki nds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban (郊区的) high schools, where most students want to go to university and the atmosp here (氛围) is quite different.9. This passage mainly tells us about ________.A. education of Chinese middle schoolB. education of Americ an high schoolC. American free educationD. how to get into universities in10.

The writer of the passage tells us the truth that ________.A .the atmosphere in high schools is not goodB. none of the schools in cities are good for learningC. suburban high schools are good places for learningD. all the American students want to go to universityDAt the age of seven I started taking violin lessons. I practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and occasio nally played in a group concert. Like most kids, I always thought practicing was boring. If my parents hadn’t been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and nev er have picked it up again.I met Moira when I was 11 at an Irish music party. Moira host ed the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. She made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. I immediately fell in love with the music she played and the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first less on with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throug hout middle school.When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She intr oduced me to so many types of music, from Irish to Old Time, t o Cajun. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, pr acticing was something that I did at home in my living room, but with Moira’s influence it quickly became something that I did ev erywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends’ kitchens.Moira took the music out to the classroom and brought it to life. Her passion(激情)was not only for playing music, but also for sharing it. My tim e with Moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally.I have met so many special people and had so many invaluable (无价的) experiences. Moira has proven to be the most important infl uence in my musical development, and also my invaluable frien d.12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

AThe first time I hiked to the bottom of Grand Canyon National Park, I knew I wanted to be a park ranger（管理员）. Now, as one of the park rangers of the National Park Service, I will show you what park rangers do.Interpretive park rangers teach people about what makes each national park special and what we can do to take care of it. We lead hikers, teach school field trips, and work at visitor centers. Protective park rangers make sure visitors follow the rules while exploring the parks. They complete special law enforcement（强制）training to do their jobs. They may also rescue sick visitors, and provide medical care. They all have already had special training. Rangers who work in smaller parks might do many of these jobs at once.Park rangers wear a uniform. The flat hat protects us from the hot sun, and hiking boots allow us to walk rocky trails. The National Park Service symbol on the sleeve of our uniform shirt helps visitors recognize us so they can ask for assistance.Being a park ranger requires a lot of energy. We walk several miles and talk with hundreds of people each day. Nearly 5 million people visit Grand Canyon National Park every year; interpretive park rangers must enjoy working with people and speaking in front of groups. Rangers must also be prepared for any situation. Recently, I broke up a traffic jam caused by a huge male elk（麋鹿）standing in the road. Elk can become dangerous when they get scared, so I asked visitors to park their cars and take pictures from a distance. Believe it or not, I also help protect people from squirrels（松鼠）. It is prohibited to feed, approach or scare wild animals in national parks.Park ranger jobs are very competitive, so having special training is required. Many park rangers start as volunteers or seasonal employees and work their way up to permanent jobs. We often work at many parks during our careers.21. If a hiker feels sick in the national park, he will get medical treatment from _______.A. other visitorsB. park managersC. interpretive park rangersD. protective park rangers22. According to the passage, visitors in national parks can ________.A. give food to hungry animalsB. get close to animalsC. take pictures of animalsD. fright animals away23. What does this text mainly talk about?A. People like to explore the national park.B. Fun facts about the national park.C. What tourists should do in national parks.D. What it’s like to be a national park ranger.BThere is a reason we are told to cover our noses when a sneeze is coming - to prevent the spread of germs that carry air-borne diseases. Scientists have known of germs that travel even longer distances than just what our sneezes can carry, sometimes carried in the air by winds.Have you noticed droplets（飞沫）that form when you cough or sneeze? But very rarely do we notice the invisible cloud of gas that forms to carry the infectious（传染的）droplets over greater distances, and sometimes adding five to 200 times the normal distances! In the past researchers at MIT （Massachusetts Institute of Technology）have assumed that larger droplets fly farther than smaller ones because they have more momentum（动力）due to their speed. It turns out that the track of each droplet is totally unconnected to those around it. The interaction of the droplets makes gas clouds.The distance that the germs travel is also a function of the air conditions. Scientists are now starting to focus on how liquid blew out with a sneeze and cough, to better understand epidemic（流行的）diseases that could occur in populations.This knowledge certainly calls for changing the air frequently to reduce the change of air-borne germs being transmitted among people in closed atmospheres in places such as hospitals, closed offices, inside an aircraft and even classrooms!24. Why do we need to cover our cough or sneeze?A. To reduce noise.B. To avoid spreading germs.C. Because we are told to do so.D. Because we are polite.25. From paragraph 2, we can know ________.A. what causes cough or sneezeB. how gas clouds formC. smaller droplets travel fasterD. droplets are tightly linked26. Now the scientists start to know the spread of epidemic diseases by studying the ________.A. spread of dropletsB. movement of peopleC. kinds of diseasesD. functions of germs27. We can learn from the last paragraph that the air in classrooms should be often ________.A. circulatedB. driedC. testedD. dampedCIs the way to a dog’s heart through its stomach? No one believes this more than Kris Rotonda and Denise Fernandez. The couple built the Doggy Cooking Network and founded an online dating website named YouMustLoveDogsDating so that dog-loving singles can connect with potential mates.Their Doggy Cooking Network on a video website called YouTube taps is close to the popularity of cooking shows like “The Pioneer Woman” and “Barefoot Contessa” to show pet owners how to cook fresh, homemade food for their dogs. “The idea is simple. Food brings families together,” Fernandez said. “Only the owners who are really dedicated to their dogs are willing to cook for them.”The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has received reports that dog and cat food made abroad have killed 1,000 dogs and sickened more than 4, 800 pets since 2007. Worried pet owners can find easy home-made recipes in Rotonda and Fernandez’s cooking shows. In their videos, they use simple food materials like chicken, rice and eggs. They make everything from frozen yogurt bars and sweet bean rice to birthday cake. Fernandez and Rotonda are not professional chefs. But they display quick and easy ways to please a pet’s palates（味觉）after testing the dishes on their four dogs. This is important for viewers as they learn a lot to save time and money of pet care. Viewers of Doggy Cooking Network cook the food for their dogs and show off their finished dishes during the four-minute cooking segments（片段）. They started their own shows about three months ago. Shows are being posted once a week on YouTube, but they hope to expand soon.28. Kris Rotonda and Denise Fernandez founded Doggy Cooking Network to ________.A. make dog owners be friendsB. make themselves famousC. show ways to cook for dogsD. earn some extra money29. According to Fernandez, who is willing to cook for dogs?A. Delighted owners.B. Devoted owners.C. Depressed owners.D. Responsible owners.30. It is meaningful to cook for dogs in easy and quick ways because it can _________.A. please p ets’ palatesB. see what dogs like to eatC. reduce time spent on dogsD. cook fresh food for dogs31. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Would You Cook a Meal for Your DogB. Let’s Upload Cooking Videos on WebC. Dog Food Products Are No Longer SafeD. Pet Owners Meet With Each OtherDEach year about 8. 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world oceans, according to a new study. It tracked marine debris（海洋废弃物）from its source. That’s the equal amount of five grocery bags full of plastic wastes dropped into the oceans from each foot of coastline around the world, so people should stop or reduce dumping wastes into the oceans. So says the study’s lead author, Jenna Jambeck, an environment engineering professor at the University of Georgia.At the current rate, Jambeck projects, by 2025, the total accumulated plastic wastes in the oceans will reach around 170 million tons based on population trends and continued waste management handling problems. “We need to wake up and see our waste, and we shouldn’t do that without any control,” Jambeck said.While a certain developing country is responsible for 2. 4 million tons of plastic wastes that makes their way into the ocean, nearly 28 percent of the world total, the United States contributes just 77,000 tons, which is less than 1 percent, according to the study published Thursday in a scientific journal. This is mostly because developed countries have systems to collect plastic wastes, Jambeck said.The amount of plastics estimated to be going into the water is equal to how much tuna（金枪鱼）is fished per year. So “we are taking out tuna and putting in plasti c,” said the study coauthor, Kara Lavendar Law.Jambeck used World Bank statistics on 192 countries’ waste streams to track and estimate plastic pollution from the source. She examined how much waste is generated and the percentage that reaches the oceans. Jambeck’s estimates were for 2014 and ranged between 5 and 14 million tons of plastic. Previous estimates were less than 1 million tons, based on samples. Scientists say that much can be hidden in the bottom of the ocean and in places researchers cannot get to.32.

At the age of six I fell in love with art in grade school art on Fridays was what I looked forward to each week.

At the age of twenty-two I was working as a mechanic and I created art out of the deserted iron in my spare time, Now at the age of sixty-five I use a truck to gather my desertiron I referred to as gold.

2014-2015学年高一英语入学测试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AI hate nosy(爱管闲事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve alwa ys hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.I’ve heard it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garb age cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave them all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.1. What made the author angry?A. His neighbor’s w ife was looking through his rubbish.B. His neighbors were mowing their lawn one morning.C. His neighbors got too close to his own home.D. His neighbors came to knock at his door at night.2. Why did the couple come to the author’s home?A.

Which of the following can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The author was kind and helpful to the neighbors.B. The neighbors had to move from place to place.C. The neighbors didn’t have enough money.D. The author changed his idea about his neighbors.BPeople have always been wondering about what our future will look like. Go on reading this text, and you will know what will happen in the next fifty years.How can we know what the future will look like? To be able to understand the future, you must know the past. What has taken us to where we are today and what has changed along the way? The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago. Will this change in the next 150 years? No.What inventions have really made a difference in the last 150 years? In the past years, the inventions that have affected most people around the world for everyday living are the telephone, electricity, radio, television, computer, the car and the ability to communicate through the Internet. Then we of course have a lot of inventions that have made life easier, like new medicine, faster transports etc. In general, human beings have been working hard in the last 150 years to make the inventions so that they will be able to get control of the time and the world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.Why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation, and then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.5.

Not only is pasta the number one food in its home country — Italy, but is also enjoyed in faraway places like the Philippines, Mexico and South Africa.Pasta has become popular, for one thing, because it is cheap and easy to prepare. Just cook noodles or other f orms of pasta, make a sauce to go with it and you’re finished. Many different types of meals can be created with pasta. It tastes good and fills your stomach. It produces energy in the form of carbohydrates(碳水化合物), which is why athletes eat pasta regularly. Pasta can also be kept for a longer time. You don’t have to use it up at once.Pasta has also become popular because it stands for the Italian way of life. People all over the world like it because it’s so simple. It has two basic ingredients (成分), wheat and water, just like bread.Legend has it that Marco Polo brought pasta back to Italy with him but this is not true. Arabs probably brought a noodle-like dish to Sicily in the 8th century. Farmers have been growing wheat, the main ingredient of pasta, there for ages.The worldwide sales of pasta have risen sharply over the past decade. Italy leads the pasta-eating community of the world. The Italians are the number one consumers followed by Venezuela and Tunisia.9. In which country do people eat pasta most?A. Mexico.B. Venezuela.C. The Philippines.D. South Africa.10. Sports people often have pasta because .A. it costs less moneyB. it can be kept longerC. it provides proper energyD. it contains no carbohydrates11. One reason why pasta is favored is that .A. it is rich in nutritionB. it smells just like breadC. people like a simple lifestyleD. Italian food stands for fashion12. What would be the best title for the text?A. The origin of pastaB. Italians’ love for past aC. Pasta —the world’s favorite foodD. Pasta is changing people’s way of lifeDGold has exercised power for ages. People have been looking for gold since the beginning of mankind. Whole empires (帝国) have been built on gold. The Spanish conquered all of Central and South America in order to bring gold back to their home country. Inca and Maya civilizations worshipped gold and thought it came from the sun. Explorers traveled for thousands of miles in search of the precious metal.Gold is, once again, in demand. People want to have gold as a kind of security in unstable times. They invest in (投资于) gold instead of saving their money in banks. Many people argue that since 9/11 the world has become a more dangerous place. When in 2008 the financialmarkets collapsed (崩溃), the major currencies of the world became weaker. Investors were no longer sure how safe their money was. They bought more and more gold which made the price of the yellow metal rise.One of the reasons why gold is so valuable is that it practically cannot be destroyed. It always stays the same and never changes. It can be recycled and afterwards be used for many things. In Iraq poor people collect gold dust and bring it back to jewellery shops to be recycled. Recycling gold is also a big business in Japan, where gold is collected from old mobile phones and other industrial waste.The demand for the metal and increased production leads to a number of environmental problems. A single ounce of gold produces over 30 tons of waste, more than any other metal on earth. Poisonous substances can leak into rivers and contaminate (污染) the water. In Peru and Brazil wide areas of the Amazon rainforest are cut down by the illegal mining of gold.13. Spain made war on Central America .A. to expand the empireB. to defend their beliefsC. to get a precious metalD. to enslave people there14. Investors are more fond of gold because .A. its price has never gone downB. its production is becoming lessC. it can ensure the value for longD. it is the best material for jewelries15. It can be inferred from the text that .A. gold has very stable (稳定的) physical characterB. collecting gold dust is a career in JapanC. around 30 tons of gold is made each yearD. new-style mobile phones begin to use gold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。
