And yes, the iPad Mini 3 offers more storage on model priced $499 and over, but again, the iPad Air 2 does th at, too.In fact, the iPad mini 3 is largely similar to last year’s mode l down to the size, processor and camera, so much so that ha ndling the device gave me déjà vu(似曾相识). Compared to the Air 2, it’s noticeably thicker, runs slower and lacks the Air 2’s glare-resistant screen. It’s still a solid, affordable tablet--- it just doesn’t offer much that’s new.61.

The new products launch of Apple companyB. The differences between iPad Air 2 and iphone 5sC. The introduction of iPad Air 2D. The similarities of iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3CFor a country where many major holidays can date back to thousands of years, Singles Day is a refreshingly recent inven tion. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, but th e most widely-accepted story is that it came from the dorms of Nanjing Univ ersity in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life.Why could such a holiday go from local to national in less t han two decades? It likely has a lot to do with ’s culture. The c ountry has a serious sex gap and there’s heavy family pressur e on many young Chinese men and women to find a suitable partner and marry young, so young people of both sexes cele brated the holiday as a kind of release. Singles Day was abou t being with friends and having fun before, but now, it is about shopping – mostly online shopping. How did an underground youth holiday go corporate? The short answer is Alibaba.By the late 2000s, there might have been some small shop s online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no m ajor company bought into the holiday until Alibaba launched it s first Singles Day online sale in 2009. 2010 changed things. Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discou nts and other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. Over the next few y ears, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese electronic commerce pla yers all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew rapidly.About the company’s plans for Singles Day, Tmall CEO Wa ng Yulei said that Alibaba’s“core keyword” this year is globali zation, and want consumers to be able to buy products from a ll over the world. Amazon , too, is making moves towards taki ng the holiday global. Even JD is looking at the international market in the long run. Of course, there’s still a long way to go before Singles Day is a truly global phenomenon, and it may never get there. But the commercial aspects of the holiday ar e already big enough to be of interest to the global Chinese di aspora, and where it spreads from there is anyone’s guess.66. The first paragraph is mainly about ____________?A. the origin of Singles DayB. the date of Singles D ayC. the celebration of Singles DayD. the popularity of Singl es Day67. The underlined word “release” is the closest in meaning to ___________?A. reduceB. celebrationC. relaxationD. resi stance68. What reason made Singles Day become so popular in les s than 2 decades?A. It was widely accepted by young people.B. Alibaba offers sales on that day.C. The online shopping has become popular.D. There is a serious gender gap in our country.69. Which of the following statement is true?A. Nowadays, Singles Day is only about being with friends an d having fun.B. Single Day is a festival just for young men.C. The popularity of the Singles Day has nothing to do with ’s culture.D. With the popularity of Singles Day, the sales of Alibaba and JD grew greatly.70. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It is certain that Singles Day will become a global phenome non.B. Wang Yulei took a positive attitude to globalization.C. The products in JD has already appeared in the internation al market.D. We consumers can buy products from all over the world.Part 1V Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered b lanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO M ORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Stress is the curse of living in modern times. And the stress w e suffer has bad effects on our bodies and minds. In recent st udies, experts have determined that heart disease is linked to anger and mental stress.Relaxation takes on added importance in this matter. Managin g your anger and attitude is significant to heart health, and rel axation can help you manage stress. Another reason why we need to relax, aside from lowering blood pressure in people a nd decreasing the chances of a stroke or a heart attack, is tha t stress produces hormones that worsen the immune system. Relaxation gives the immune system time to recover and mor e effective function.Watching television may be form of relaxation for some, but is not a recommended method by experts. When we watch TV we are filled with commercials, sounds and images. So how do we achieve relaxation?Acupuncture seems to reduce high blood pressure by starting several body functions for the brain to release chemical comp ounds known as endorphins. Endorphin helps to relax muscle s, decrease pain and reduce anxiety.Yoga is also another method for relaxation and may also have similar effects like acupuncture. In another study, participants suffer from several minutes of mental stress. Then they turn t o various relaxation techniques, such as listening to nature so unds or classical music. Only those who did Yoga significantly reduced the time it took for their blood pressures to go back t o normal.Breathing is one of the easiest methods to relax. Breathing inf luences almost all aspects of us; it affects our mind, our mood s and our body. Simply focus on your breathing; after some ti me you can feel its effects.Another easy way to achieve relaxation is exercise. If you feel angry, a simple half-hour of exercise will often settle things down. Exercise should also be used in connect with other exercise method.These relaxation techniques are just some of the ways you ca n achieve relaxation. Relaxation can really be of good use on ce a relaxation technique is regularly built into your lifestyle. Choose a technique that you believe you can do regularly.

ARichie Kraus thinks all kids should receive birthday presents. And he's willing togive up his own presents to make that happen.When Richie was six, he helped collect holiday gifts for children whose familiescouldn't afford presents. He started thinking about how much he liked gettingpresents on his birthday. He asked his mom, "If we get kids presents during the holidays, who gets them presents on their birthdays?"Richie wanted to raise money for those birthday presents. So his mom helped him create the 2U Fund. The name 2U came from the well-known song "Happy Birthday to You."Richie explains how the fund works: "On our birthdays, we ask our friends to make a donation instead of giving us presents." Richie attaches a special sticker to his party invitations. The sticker tells about the 2U Fund and invites guests to participate, Richie and his mom then give the money to a local charity that has agreed to partner with them. The people at the charity make sure the donations go toward birthday presents for kids in need.Richie has had three 2U parties. "It just feels really, really good to help other kids," he says. Richie has encouraged others to try giving up some of their birthday presents to help others. His younger brother, Max, had a 2U party. Some of Richie's friends did, too. He also spoke about the idea at a summer camp and at a school assembly (集会). "There were close to 200 students and teachers in the assembly," Richie' s teacher, Janel McCormick, says. "They all wanted to help support 2U."Since Richie and his family started the 2U Fund, dozens of kids have helped raise more than $7,000.

I had never been to Balboa Island, even though it is only about an hour from my home in northern San Diego.Our first stop was for a specialty called a "Balboa Bar". It is a famous chocolate covered ice cream on a stick, created many years ago. As we drove along the streets toward the boat, I also saw some interesting buildings that stood for many years. Many of the building designs seemed like dollhouses and someone in our group said that the style was called, Victorian.After we parked our car on one of the streets, we got on the boat sailing to Balboa Peninsula. As I looked around the boat, I saw a bird flying very close to the water and our boat. A little girl near the boat' s edge jumped out to touch it and shockingly fell into the water! Her dad, who stoodnearby, jumped in after her at once and everyone on the boat ran to help. The boat's engine stopped and both father and daughter got saved with the help of people on the boat.On Balboa Peninsula my family and I went to various shops, especially for food! We saw a restaurant at the very end. We enjoyed our lunch there, at the first Ruby's Diner ever opened in southern California. Although I have been to other restaurants of this popular chain (连锁店), being at the very first is a great memory.On our way back to Balboa island we stopped at the huge Ferris Wheel, bought some sugars and played games. It was an exciting afternoon walking around on Balboa Island. I look forward to returning soon to spend some time on the beach again or maybe even to try fishing!27. "Balboa Bar" is the name ofA. a streetB. a restaurantC. a foodD. a building28. What happened on the boat to Balboa Peninsula?A. A little girl fell into the riverB. The boat broke down halfway.C. People helped a girl catch a bird.D. A father quarreled with his daughter.29. The author' s dining experience at the first Ruby' s Diner wasA. boringB. interestingC. unpleasantD. unforgettable30. What did the author do on Balboa Island?A. He went fishing by the river.B. He walked along the beach.C. He rode the Ferris wheel.D. He bought some dolls.31. What' s the best title for the text?A. My trip to BalboaB. The first Ruby' s DinerC. My first boat rideD. Victorian buildingsDAsk any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foodslike pizza, burgers and chips are always mentioned.But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating.According to the National Diet and Nutrition (营养) Survey, far too manyyoung people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 eat too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. And their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含淀粉的碳水化合物), fibre, iron,vitamins and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is very important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also good to eat.It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (根深蒂固的), so it is important that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, in order to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, chef Jamie Oliver started a "Feed Me Better" project. As part of a television series, "Jamie' s School Dinners", he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more nutritious school meals. Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first, the project went very well and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like "Feed Me Better" continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily.32. What problem do teenagers in the UK have?A. Most of them are too fat.B. Most of them eat too little.C. Many of them don' t eat healthily.D. Many of them are short of exercise.33. The underlined word "essential" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" "A. difficultB. possibleC. commonD. necessary34. According to the text, the "Feed Me Better" project __A. proved to be a successB. taught teachers how to cookC. was started by the governmentD. was started at Jamie's school first35. Which of the following opinions does the author probably agree to?A. Lifestyle habits are difficult to change.B. Too much red meat is also bad for health.C. Teenagers should learn to feed them better.D. Teenagers should stop eating fast and junk food.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，共15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。
2015-2016学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试卷(20210521192014)
高二年级第一次月考试卷（英语）第一部分阅读理解。
（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每题 2 分，共30 分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项 A 、 B、 C、 D 中，选出最正确选项。
A.I travel a lot, and I find out different― styles‖ of directions every time I ask― Ho the post office?‖Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’ t have names; inJapan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanesewill say to travelers,― Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruitmarket. The post office is across from the bus stop.‖In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There areno mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example,people will say,― Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.‖People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distancein time, not miles.― How far away is the post office?‖ you ask.― Oh,‖ they answer,― i minutes from here.‖ You say,― Yes, but how many miles away is it?‖ They don’ t know.It ’ s true that a person doesn’ t know the answer to yourometimesquestion. Whats happens insuch a situation? A New Yorker might say,― Sorry, I have no ideaucatan,. Mexico,‖ noButoineYanswers ― I don’ t know.‖ People in Yucatan believe that― I don’ t know‖ is impolite. They us give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!1. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places2. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.3.What can we infer from the text?A.It ’ s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B.It ’ s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.B.A popular saying goes, ― Sticksand stone may break my bones, but words will never hurtme. ‖ However, that’ s not t r eallyue.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. Itdoesn ’matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negativeeffects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometim es. We ’ re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. Butwe really shouldn ’ t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is ahealthy habit.This ― self-talk‖helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calmourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So inorder to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should alsobe quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test,or finally clean your room, join me in saying,― Good job!‖Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always askourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’ t pass this t it ’ s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragementwhen we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to dotheir best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal?Thechoice is ours.4.The author argues in the first paragraph that _____.A.words will never hurt us at allB.words have lasting effects on usC.positive effects last longer than negative effectsD.negative effects last longer than positive effects5.Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?A.Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.B. It does harm to have-talk― ‖selfwhen we are alone.C. Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.D. Talking to ourselves out loud is believed to be good for our health.6. The underlined phrase oursel―gi ve s a pat on the back‖ in Paragraph 3 means ______.A. blame ourselvesB. punish ourselvesC. praise ourselvesD. talk to ourselves7.Which of the following statements would the author agree to?A.It is better to think twice before talking to others.B.It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.C.Words always possess long positive effects.D.Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.C．The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare ’times is estimated to have been aboutfive million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainlyin the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Inaddition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regionaland social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that areemployed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.8.What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language9.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate workingknowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.10. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’ s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.11.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A.Those geographically close to the United States.B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.C.Former colonies of the Great Britain.D.Countries where international conferences are held.D.It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver ’ s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headeddrivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On theother hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling andfighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create anatmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviorsof politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’ t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver whowaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be notable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the deadbodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt tocorrectly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’ t even learn to drive, let steralonethemaroadmanship. Yearsago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand moregive-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.12. According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by _______.A. road conditionsB. the speed of modern lifeC. the behavior of the driversD. the large number of cars13. In the writer’ s opinion, ________.A. drivers should avoid traffic jamsB. strict traffic rules are badly neededC. unskillful drivers should be punishedD. drivers should show road politeness properly14. The underlined word-and―give-take ‖ in the last paragraph means― ______‖.A. politeness and impolitenessB. good manners and bad mannersC. offering help to others as much as possibleD. willingness of each person to give in to each other’ s wishes15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Road politenessB. Traffic problemsC. Bad manners on the roadD. Good divers and bad drivers第二节：（共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

You see, not only does smoking waste your money and time, but it’s harmful to your health physically and mentally. As a high school student, you should study hard and stop smoking immediately. Although it’s hard to get rid of smoking, I hope you will follow my advice. First, choose a day when you feel relaxed to throw away all your cigarettes and make a list of all the benefits you can get from stopping smoking. Then, reread the benefits to remind yourself when you want to smoke again. Finally, do some sports every day and you’re sure to succeed.Yours,Li Hua。

We can infer that when Mikey was absent from the class, he wasA．taking care of his baby sister B．somewhere enjoying himself C．looking after his grandmother D．studying the art of the excuse note 25．How did the author usually find out his students' parental-excuse notes were dishonest?A.

The headmaster was looking at his students' papers．4.（8分）CSan Francisco has decided that its city government workers can’t use computer programs that recognize faces. It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that.

The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote (引语). Although over time I have told myself to learn from it.This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm, Florida. This has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school. The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go down there. My dad told me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles (旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks. I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I have to. The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mum that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person. I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.31. The author's parents often told him the saying quoted from the songbecause .A. they expected him to learn from the singerB. he always wanted to get everything he wantedC. he liked to complain to them about his lifeD. they tried to educate him to do things for himself32. What does the word "killer" underlined in the second paragraph refer to?A. Something that is quite troublesomeB. Something that is very difficult.C.. A person who kills purposely.D. A person who treats women very badly.33. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author was lazy and unwilling to work hard.B. The author's father was too mean to give him money.C. The author's actual action won support from his mother.D. The author was unable to tear himself away from his girlfriend.34. By writing the passage, the author tries to show .A. we can do nothing without moneyB. fathers are strict while mothers are kindC. it's hard for parents to bring up their childrenD. we should try to rely on ourselves for everythingBNowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All wenotice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us ——- between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there ——are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we’re so busy communicati ng.Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious belief, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation(沉思), or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cell phones at home. A serie s of tests in recent years has shown that their brains become both calmer and sharper after spending time in quiet rural settings.In my own case, I often turn to extreme measures to try to keep my sanity（头脑清楚）and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cell phone and I’ve never entered Face book. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主义): it’s just pure selfishne ss. Nothing makes me feel better——calmer, clearer and happier——than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for——The Joy of Quiet.35. The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because ________.A. he is out of workB. he can enjoy himself in his leisure timeC. whatever he does makes no senseD. he is worried about his writing36. What does the writer mean when using the word “forget” (in the 2nd paragraph)?A. They leave their cell phones at home on purpose.B. They think cell phone is not a suitable means of communication.C. Trapped in busy work, they are really forgetful.D. They hate modern techniques such as the cell phone.37. Which of the following is right?A. The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.B. It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.C. Slowing down to find deep-down joy is necessary.D. We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.38. What is the main idea of the article?A. We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.B. The importance of spending time in quiet.C. To feel better, we should do nothing at all.D. The more we communicate, the better we will feel.CMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat andanimal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.39. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. choose food in similar waysB. are not satisfied with their foodC. depend on one sense in choosing foodD. eat entirely different food40. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The small bird.B. The white butterfly.C. The bear.D. The fox.41. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. they move to different placesB. the food color changesC. the season changesD. they are attracted by different smells42. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people care little about healthy dietD. some people have few choices of foodDFor many people shopping is considered to be one of the favorite activities. For most of them it is just buying some new clothes or presents for close people. But there is another way for whom shopping is much more than just enjoyable activity, it is a real addiction that in many cases leads to a financial disaster, as well as it brings troubles to person’s life and family.So why can shopping be so addictive? What are the possible signs to be aware of? And how is it possible to stop the need of spending?“Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic preference to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is caused, but no one really knows why.” However, it is much bett er understood as to why “shopaholics” continue with their unhealthy and destructive behaviors. Individuals get pleasure from their addiction the same way as if they were under drugs.And when is it really possible to determine whether simple shopping has crossed the border and has already turned into addiction?Shopaholics go out and buy things much more often than other people do. They often buy things they do not need. Many shopping addicts go on shopping binges(放纵) all year long and may be forced to buy certain items, such as shoes, clothing or kitchen items. Some just will buy anything. Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income. While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing, shop addicts will not recognize the boundaries of a budget.43. We can learn from the 3rd paragraph that________.A. shopping addiction is mainly caused by genetic factorsB. shopaholics can’t control their unhealthy and destructive behaviorsC. the real cause of shopping addiction is known alreadyD. shopping addicts are also addicted to drugs44. The last paragraph is mainly about _________.A. the destructive behaviors of shopaholicsB. the problems of shopaholicsC. the early signs of shopping addictionD. the binge of shopaholics45. What could be most probably discussed in the paragraph to follow the passage?A. What kind of people can become shopping addicts.B. What really causes shopping addiction.C. When shopping addiction takes place.D. How to treat shopping addiction.46. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A. it’s not a good idea to let a shopping addict pay by credit cardsB. shopping addicts only want enjoyable activities through buyingC. shopping addiction can’t cause serious problemsD. shopping addiction can spread among different peopleEEating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, the U.S. researchers said on Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that control how much we eat.In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects.In the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. All subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal quickly, took large bites, chewed quickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down. At the conclusion of the study, the researchers found only normal-weight subjects had a statistically significant reduction in caloric consumption by eating slowly. "A lack of statistical significance in the overweight and obese group may be partly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to the normal-weight subjects," Professor Meena Shah said, "it is possible that the overweight and obese subjects felt more self-conscious, and thus ate less during the study."Despite the differences in caloric consumption between the normal-weight and overweight and obese subjects, the study found some similarities. Both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal, which indicates that greater hunger suppression (抑制) among both groups could be expected from a meal consumed more slowly. Also, both the normal-weight and overweight or obese groups consumed more water during the slow meal. "The higher water intake during the slow eating condition may have affected food consumption," said Shah. According to Shah, slowing the speed of eating may help suppress hunger levels and "may even improve the enjoyment of a meal".The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.47. What does the previous study have in common with the new one?A. Eating too fast may impair your stomach.B. Eating rate may affect processes controlling how much we eat.C. Eating at a slow speed may help feel hungry.D. There is a link between eating speed and energy intake.48. What should the subjects do during the research?A. One group should eat slowly while the other one quickly.B. Both groups were asked to eat one meal slowly while the other quickly.C. Both groups had to consume one meal in controlled eating conditions.D. Both groups could totally eat the meals at any speed as they liked.49. What caused the lack of statistically significant reduction in the overweight and obese group?A. They were told not to eat a lot.B. In the study they had no appetite to eat.C. They lost consciousness in the study.D. They ate less food on purpose.50. What is the passage mainly about?A. A study about the link between eating speed and energy intake.B. New research findings about how to control eating rate.C. Water intake may have affected food consumption.D. One may feel less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将答案写在本题下面的横线上。
