AOne cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand.Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.”The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(迟疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打开) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”She answered, “The false teeth”.1. According to the first paragraph, the old couple _____.A. enjoyed the scene outside the McDonald’sB. didn’t look suitable(合适的) for the environmentC. loved being with young families and couplesD. liked the food in McDonald’s2.

Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting.If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too.Know where the light is.Y ou don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you.The key thing is no shadow.If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed.Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers.And all the faces have had pimples (丘疹,粉刺)taken out by computers.Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different.So you have to learn what suits you.Y ou can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face.Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera.No one can look bad if they smile.For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle.And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.Keep shoulders back.Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter (快门)is clicked for full eyes.Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days.5.If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______.A.below you B.above youC.directly at you D.right behind you6.According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______.A.light B.shadow C.angles D.photographers 7.What advice does the author give on taking photos?A.Raise legs on the wall.B.Look down.C.Keep shoulders back.D.Put a penny between lips.CCheck out all the new releases (发布) in the next four weeks.Wednesday 16 marchChalet Girl (12A )Watch the Trailer (预告片)A British comedy about a girl who decides to give up her job at a fried chicken fast food place to try out being a chalet (木屋) girl in the Alps.

His father came to America from enya, which is a country in Africa. His parents, Ann and Barack, met when they were students at the University of Hawaii. Since Barack had the same name as his father, young Barack went by the nickname “Barry”.In 1979, after he finished high school, Barry went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. There, he started to learn about his African roots and decided to use his African name, Barack. After two years in L.A., he went to Columbia University in New York City to study politics.After college, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he worked to help poor people in his city. He traveled to Africa to meet his grandmother and cousins for the first time. He went back many times over the years to visit with his family and learn about where he came from. At work, he met a lawyer named Michelle Robinson. They worked together in a big law firm. Then he left Chicago to go to Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He did very well in law school.After he was done with school, Barack moved back to Chicago and in 1992 he married Michelle. He worked as a lawyer, devoted to helping poor people for free who had been treated unfairly.

Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kind of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today’s travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities hiking and rafting.HIINGHiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking 1. Don’t hike alone. 2. Tell someone where you are going; 3. Bring water and a good map; 4. Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes, or poisonous plants; 5. Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun; 6.Bring a mobile phone if you have one.RAFTINGAnother exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few trees and other dangers. The name “whitewater” comes from the fact that the water in these streams and rivers looks white when it moves quickly. As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to getin and out of the raft. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.28. Adventure travelers want to _______.A. try new kinds of foodB. meet new friends.C. experience fun and excitementD. visit famous sites or beautiful places29.

While you go rafting, you have to _________.A. put on a life jacket.B. know how to swimC. wear leather shoesD. have rafting skillsDThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His lifesize portrait was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum,which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more real. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge,extinct elephant,which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers,fruit,and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people,including one of George Washington. Another brother,Rubens Peale,painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale,the brother of Charles Wilson Peale,specialized in miniatures (小画像).His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America. 32.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The life of Charles Wilson Peale. B.Portraits in the 18th century.C. The Peale Museum D..A family of artists.33.The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that________.A.Washington respected Charles Wilson Peale's workB.

Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His lifesize portrait was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum,which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more real. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge,extinct elephant,which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers,fruit,and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people,including one of George Washington. Another brother,Rubens Peale,painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale,the brother of Charles Wilson Peale,specialized in miniatures (小画像).His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America. 32.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The life of Charles Wilson Peale.

Fees are necessary for the account keeping.2. The Winners Club provides magazines which ______.A. encourage spendingB. are free to all teenagersC. help to make more of your moneyD. are full of adventure stories3. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To set up a clubB. To introduce a new banking serviceC. To organize key-cardsD. To provided part-time jobsBThank you, Dean Areen, for that very generous introduction, and very special thanks to my good friends President Lucy Reed and Executive Director Betsy Andersen for the extraordinary work you do with the American education.It is such a pleasure to be back here at the ASIL. I am embarrassed to confess that I have been a member of ASIL for more than 30 years, since my first year of education school, and coming to the annual meeting has always been a highlight of my year. Let me start by bringing you special attention on something you already know.As a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education. We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.There are, of course, problems with the education system. Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. However, the only fact that there are serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.One stock(陈腐的)claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various test. While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering here. The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America. The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and therefore it is worth con sidering that America’s decline is also due to the improvement of others. The third is the matter of the measures---do they, in fact present an accurate picture of the situation? I am not claiming that the data is bad. I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests. While there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education. That is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.4. According to the professor, many people’s attitude towards American colleges is ______.A. approvingB. positiveC.indifferentD. negative5. What does th e underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean?A. Extremely serious or terribleB. Long and boringC. Fair or objectiveD. Exact or precise6. Judging by the text, the claims are centered on ______.A. fair judgment of American educationB. an accurate picture of American collegesC. American students’ performance on testsD. what should be taught in the American classroom7. The passage is written mainly to ______.B. show dissatisfaction with American educationA. explain why American students do badly ontestsC. defend American systemD. offer advice on American education ref ormCEntering Space, astronauts can give us a fascinating account of a shuttle flight, describing the pressure of a countdown and launch, the complexities of living the days in the strange weightless environment, the challenges of working in space, the emotional effect of seeing earth from space, th e drama of the meteoric landing.However, there are also plenty of things that astronauts can’t do because of thei r weightless environment, and that’s very sad. What’s more, they can’t even let their sadness show, because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity.Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But crying is much more difficult in space, reported The Atlantic in January. Without gravity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes like they do here on Earth. This means that when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced t his during one of his spacewalks. “Tears,” he said, “don’t fall off of your eye... They just kind of stay there.”Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But tha t’s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. “My right eye is painful like crazy.” Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait –“When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float ar ound,” astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things – things like crying – that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astro nauts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say: “Gravity, you’re the best.”8. What can we conclude from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs?A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B. Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.C. Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.D. Tears produced in space flow down moreslowly.9. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A. Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.B. Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.C. Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.D. Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.10. What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B. Why burping is impossible in space.C. Things that humans can’t d o without gravity.D. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.11. What can be the best title of this passage?A. In the sky, you can’t cryB. In the sky, you can’t burpC. No Gravity, no tearsD. Better life with gravityDWhen Dan ny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the worldwide web reading simply: “Join Me. Send a passport photo.” A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based “club” whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.It’s not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes “I want to help”. But the trained part of the brain says: “They will think you are mad or going to mug them”, so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, I’m usually out on a Friday so I go for one of the standard acts — the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with another cup of whatever they are drinking , and say: “ I’ve bought you a coffee” and walk away. It’s a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicio n, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn’t know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn’t know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not “get in their faces”. You say: “This is for you”, then you go. It’s hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. You’ve got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a £10 note down and said: “That’s for me and the next nine people”. So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them it’s an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.12. When Londoners see someone in trouble, they _______.A. often give a hand C. pretend not to have seen itB. stop and ask questions D. telephone the police13. According to the passage, members of Join Me often _______.A. put an advertisement on the worldwide webB. go out and make friends with strangersC. do an act of kindness every FridayD. buy coffees for the strangers14. The underlined expression in the third paragraph possibly means _______ .A. finding something very difficultB. doing something withou t much effortC. making a few mistakesD. experimenting to get the right result15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Hit-and-run KindnessB. History of Join MeC. Danny Wallace and Join MeD. Why not Join Me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。
2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试英语试卷(含答案)
2015-2016学年高一上学期期末考试试卷英语(共150分,共120分钟)第一卷共100分一、听力(30分,每小题1.5分)略二、阅读理解(30分,每小题2分)AYesterday was awful. We had what they’re calling a “weather event” here, and it poured about 14 inches of rain in a day, causing by far the worst flash flooding I’ve seen in the 13 years in the place where we’ve lived. The kids and I ended up being trapped in our car in rapidly rising flood waters. The engine had stopped and couldn’t start again; the kids were terrified and I didn’t know what to do. Then a man in a 4WD pulled up beside us and offered to pull us out of the water.When he got us to higher ground he asked where our home was. We lived about 2km down the road, so he pulled us all the way back to our street before going off to look for more people in trouble.I don’t know this man and I ‘ll probably never see him again, but the kids and I owe him a huge debt of gratefulness that we’ll never be able to repay. Five local people died in this “weather event”, just a few streets away from here, so I’m in no doubt as to how dangerous our situation was. Going through what we went through has only reinforced(强化) the fact that we should always be ready and willing to help someone in need to stay safe and be well, whatever the situations are.21.What can we learn about the “weather event”?A. It was the biggest flood ever in this area.B. It rained for several days.C. Several people lost their lives in the event.D. Nobody was hurt in the event.22.Which statement is NOT TRUE about the man?A. He drove a car of great power.B. He left as soon as he pulled the author’s car out.C. He was willing to help those in trouble.D. He was a brave and selfless person.23. What is the author probably going to do after going through such a “weather event”?A. Be ready to give hands to others.B. Buy a car with a more powerful engine.C. Try hard to search for the man.D. Pay some money for the man’s help.24.Which one is the best title for the passage?A. A Weather EventB. The Kindness of a StrangerC. A Car Accident in FloodD. An Awful DayBDo two kids make a perfect family? Share your views about this issue on our website.LucinaWhen you decide to have another child , you should plan your budget(预算)in advance. If you or your parents can’t take care of your body, you have to at least spend an extra 5000 yuan per month to hire a body sitter. If you want to send your kids to study abroad, you have to save another 1 million yuan. I think most young Chinese couples cannot afford the expense.BcnuTwo is more than twice the work, there’s no guaranteeing(确保)they’ll share interests; they could very well fight or want to head off in completely different directions. If you find you love the second one more than the first, I don’t see how that could possibly make life simple, as children are very sensitive to that sort of thing. My advice is to take care of yourself and take time for your love for the first child to relax and grow before even thinking about having a second child.StevenI always thought having two kids sounded perfect. But when my daughter was born with life-threatening health problems I knew she would be my only kid. Raising our daughter was going to take a lot of emotional, physical, an d financial resources. If I had any more children, I don’t think I could handle it.WilliamUnder the one-child policy carried out in China for three decades, many kids are spoilt by their parents. The “little emperors” have no idea of sharing and giv ing and many of them even become self-centered. If we have another child, the first one will learn something about responsibility, sharing and caring for others.25.What can we learn from the passage?A.Few families are ready for a second child in China.B.It takes a lot of money to raise a second child.C.Steven has never considered having a second child.D.Many kids become selfish because of the one-child policy26.Of all the four persons, who is most likely to have a second child?A.LucinaB. BcnuC. StevenD. William27.What does the underlined part “that sort of thing” most probably refer to ?A.T he two kids have different interests.B.I t makes life hard to have two kids.C.P arents can’t treat the two kids equally.D.T he two kids fight with each other.28.Which of the following statements about the four persons is true?A.L ucina plants to send her kids to study abroad.B.B cnu thinks having a second child means more trouble.C.S teven suffers from health problems.D.W illiam has a selfish child.CYou know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars haveno steering wheels(方向盘)or pedals(踏板)Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle.According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.29.Why was the Google’s car stopped by police?A.It ran too fastB. It looks the lawC.It drove too slowly.D. It had no driver.30.What can we learn from the passage?A.The car hasn’t changed a lot over the past 10 yea rs.B.Google has no self-driving car technology.C.Self-driving cars are widely used in the U.S.D.Google self-driving cars haven’t been fined so far.31.What distance can a person drive in year on average?A.About 22,000kmB.About 18,000kmC.About 45,000km.D.About 11,000km.DFor over a month, forest fires in Indonesia spread very quickly out of control as the country suffered its worst drought(干旱)in 50 years. Within days a cloud of some was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous(有毒的). Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot(烟灰)covered everything. In some areas, tap water was used from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmentalcosts and health problems will remain. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In low-land forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.32.When did the forest fires most probably happen?A. In JulyB. In OctoberC. In NovemberD. In December33.Which of the following is true about the forest fires?A.The fires spread to Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.B.The fires were put out by the firefighters and volunteers.C.Many animals were left homeless because of the smog.D.4,000people were killed by the forest fires.34. When can we learn from the passage?A.Smog can lead to drought problem.B.Smog can cause forest fires easily.C.Smog has little effect on wildlife.D.Smog is more than an Asian problem.35.What is the similarity between the Indonesia smog and the London smog?A.Both were caused by drought.B.Both caused many deaths.C.Both were poisonous.D.Both spread in several countries.三、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分。

This means thatwhen you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go – they just stick to your eyes.In May 2011, astronaut Andrew Feustel experienced this during one of his spacewalks. ―Tears,‖ he said, ―don’t fall off of your eye... They just kind of stay there.‖Besides making your vision unclear, this can also cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears are supposed to bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s not the case in space. The space environment dries out astronauts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort. ―My right eye is painful like crazy.‖ Feustel told his teammate during the walk.Since gravity doesn’t wor k in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. Feustel chose to rub his eyes against his helmet to wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait –―When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around,‖ astronaut Ron Parise told The Atlantic.There are lots of small things – things like crying – that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a problem in a totally different environment, like space. There, astronaut s can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drink in normal ways. They can’t even burp (打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up (呕吐) everything in their stomach, according to the UK National Space Center.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say: ―Gravity, you’re the best.‖8. What can we conclude from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs?A. Astronauts are unable to feel sad in space.B. Tears produced in space don’t flow downward.C. Astronauts produce fewer tears in space.D. Tears produced in space flow down moreslowly.9. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A. Get the tears big enough to break away from his eyes.B. Get the tears big enough to fall off of his eyes.C. Rub his eyes against his helmet to let the tears float forward.D. Rub his eyes by hand to let the tears float around.10. What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in space.B. Why burping is impossible in space.C. Things that humans can’t d o without gravity.D. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.11. What can be the best title of this passage?A. In the sky, you can’t cryB. In the sky, you can’t burpC. No Gravity, no tearsD. Better life with gravityDWhen Danny Wallace, 26, got bored, he put an ad on the worldwide web reading simply: ―Join Me. Send a passport photo.‖ A year and a half later his east London flat is the headquarters for a global internet-based ―club‖whose members carry out good deeds for strangers every Friday.It’s not common for people in London to talk to strangers. If you see someone struggling with something, part of the brain goes ―I want to help‖. But the trained part of the brain says: ―They will think you are mad or going to mug them‖, so you walk away.Join Me now has about 3,000 members around the world who do an act of kindness every Friday. For example, I’m usually out on a Friday so I go for one of the standard acts — the unexpected cup of coffee. You might be sitting in a cafe and see an old man in the corner drinking coffee or tea, and you walk up with anothercup of whatever they are drinking , and say: ― I’ve bought you a coffee‖ and walk away. It’s a pleasure to see the look of surprise on their faces. There can be some suspicion, but I think that was mostly in the early days when I didn’t know how to do it properly. I would walk up quite nervously like I was doing something wrong and I didn’t know when to leave. In the end, I learned through trial and error. Sometimes it worked, other times it didn’t. I discovered that you have to walk up with confidence and humour and not ―get in their faces‖. You say: ―Th is is for you‖, then you go. It’s hit-and-run kindness. And there is no point in doing it half-heartedly. You’ve got to do it because you really mean it.Join Me is without geographical boundaries, but there are quite a few members in London, and such stories about things happen on the underground or on the buses. One lady got on the bus and put a £10 note down and said: ―That’s for me and the next nine people‖. So at every stop, anyone who got on was told it was paid for. A lot of people were doing this sort of thing anyway. For them it’s an excuse or reason to do something nice for a complete stranger, and it gives them the confidence to walk up and start chatting.12. When Londoners see someone in trouble, they _______.A. often give a hand C. pretend not to have seen itB. stop and ask questions D. telephone the police13. According to the passage, members of Join Me often _______.A. put an advertisement on the worldwide webB. go out and make friends with strangersC. do an act of kindness every FridayD. buy coffees for the strangers14. The underlined expression in the third paragraph possibly means _______ .A. finding something very difficultB. doing something without much effortC. making a few mistakesD. experimenting to get the right result15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Hit-and-run KindnessB. History of Join MeC. Danny Wallace and Join MeD. Why not Join Me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。

They need this cup of coffee to get going in the morning.It is not the coffee but something in the coffee that activates(刺激)our bodies and brains. It is a material called caffeine. Caffeine may increase a person’s mental (精神的) and physical abilities. For example, two cups of coffee will augment blood flow, breathing, and body heat production by 10% to 20%.

His father came to America from enya, which is a country in Africa. His parents, Ann and Barack, met when they were students at the University of Hawaii. Since Barack had the same name as his father, young Barack went by the nickname “Barry”.In 1979, after he finished high school, Barry went to Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. There, he started to learn about his African roots and decided to use his African name, Barack. After two years in L.A., he went to Columbia University in New York City to study politics.After college, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he worked to help poor people in his city. He traveled to Africa to meet his grandmother and cousins for the first time. He went back many times over the years to visit with his family and learn about where he came from. At work, he met a lawyer named Michelle Robinson. They worked together in a big law firm. Then he left Chicago to go to Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He did very well in law school.After he was done with school, Barack moved back to Chicago and in 1992 he married Michelle.

Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kind of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today’s travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities hiking and rafting.HIINGHiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety. Here are some basic tips for successful hiking 1. Don’t hike alone. 2. Tell someone where you are going; 3. Bring water and a good map; 4. Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes, or poisonous plants; 5. Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun; 6.Bring a mobile phone if you have one.RAFTINGAnother exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddledown rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few trees and other dangers. The name “whitewater” comes from the fact that the water in these streams and rivers looks white when it moves quickly.As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to handle the raft, how to paddle and how to get in and out of the raft. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life jacket.28. Adventure travelers want to _______.A. try new kinds of foodB. meet new friends.C. experience fun and excitementD. visit famous sites or beautiful places29. Hiking is a kind of adventure travel because _________.A. it is not expensiveB. it is not only exciting but inexpensiveC. you need a lot of equipment for itD. you will often put yourself in danger.30. While hiking or rafting, it is important to think about________.A. costB. excitementC. safetyD. fun31. While you go rafting, you have to _________.A. put on a life jacket.B. know how to swimC. wear leather shoesD. have rafting skillsDThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Wilson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His lifesize portrait was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.Charles Wilson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum,which he founded in Philadelphia. The world's first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more real. The museum's most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge,extinct elephant,which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.Three of Peale's seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often paintedstill lives of flowers,fruit,and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many famous people,including one of George Washington. Another brother,Rubens Peale,painted mostly landscapes and portraits.James Peale,the brother of Charles Wilson Peale,specialized in miniatures (小画像).His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.32.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The life of Charles Wilson Peale. B.Portraits in the 18th century.C. The Peale Museum D..A family of artists.33.The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that________.A.Washington respected Charles Wilson Peale's workB. Charles Wilson Peale's painting was very lifelikeC.Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian PealeD.the painting of the two brothers was very large34.The underlined word “unearthed” is closest in meaning to“________”.A.showed B.looked over C.dug up D. invented35.The author's attitude toward the Peales is in general________.A. admiring B.excited C.puzzled D.disappointed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。

AIt was Monday, Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words o n it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brou ght with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!1.When Mrs. S mith’s dog was hungry, what did she give to the dog?A. some chickenB. half a pound of meatC. a hot dogD a piece of paper with some words on it2.Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite __________.A. rudelyB. proudlyC. friendlyD. angrily3.From its experience, the dog found that __________.A. only the paper with Mrs. Smith’s words on it could bring it meatB. a piece of paper could bring him half a pound of meatC. the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw itD. Mrs. Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher4.At the end of the story, you’ll find that __________.A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paperB. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dogC. the dog dared not go to the butcher’s any moreD. the butcher found himself cheated by the smart animalBWant to find a job? Now read the following advertisements.

Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motor home lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motor home is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motor home. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motor home this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motor home hire service is very seasonal and motor home hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motor homes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motor home hire is provided by Motor home which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motor home hire information. Motor home has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motor home are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motor home for their holidays.8.The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A. take an adventureB. travel to EnglandC. try a new lifestyleD. hire a motor home9.What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Fast.B. Safe.C. Useful.D. Exciting.10.Why should you book a motor home early if you want to book one for this summer?A. Booking early is much cheaper.B. Summer is usually a very busy season.C. You can arrange your time better this way.D. Students usually book them to earn money.11.The last paragraph tells us the advantages of hiring a motor home by _________.A. telling us a storyB. giving detailed dataC. comparing it with flyingD. showing the results of a studyDFor many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needi ng to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority —someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.12.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.13.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.14.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ______.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly15.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent-teen warC. Solutions for the parent-teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship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。

AOne cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand.Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.”The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(迟疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打开) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them.When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.”Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. But the old man replied that they were just fine and they were used to sharing everything.Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”She answered, “The false teeth”.1. According to the first paragraph, the old couple _____.A. enjoyed the scene outside the McDonald’sB. didn’t look suitable(合适的) for the environmentC. loved being with young families and couplesD. liked the food in McDonald’s2. The little old man cut the plain hamburger in half because _____.A. he couldn’t finish eating it with one biteB. he was very careful with his foodC. he ordered more than he could eatD. he wanted to share it with his wife3.

Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting.If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too.Know where the light is.You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you.The key thing is no shadow.If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed.Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers.And all the faces have had pimples (丘疹,粉刺)taken out by computers.Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different.So you have to learn what suits you.You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face.Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera.Noone can look bad if they smile.For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle.And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.Keep shoulders back.Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter (快门)is clicked for full eyes.Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days.5.If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______.A.below you B.above youC.directly at you D.right behind you6.According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______.A.light B.shadow C. angles D.photographers7.What advice does the author give on taking photos?A.Raise legs on the wall.B.Look down.C.Keep shoulders back.D.Put a penny between lips.CCheck out all the new releases (发布) in the next four weeks.Wednesday 16 marchChalet Girl (12A )Watch the Trailer (预告片)A British comedy about a girl who decides to give up her job at a fried chicken fast food place to try out being a chalet (木屋) girl in the Alps.

AScientists are studying different foods, and they will see which foods protect us from cancer(癌症), and which cause it. It is known that a healthy diet(饮食) will help keep a healthy body weight, which can also decrease the risk(风险) of many types of cancer.Fruit and vegetablesFruit and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. They can decrease the risk of some cancer types like mouth and throat cancer. They are a good source of many important nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and are an excellent source of fiber.Our adviceTry to get plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Eating fruit and vegetables with a variety of colors will help you get many kinds of vitamins and minerals, as the chemicals that give these foods their colors are good for you. MeatEating lots of red and processed meat can increase(增加) your risk of stomach cancer. Red meat includes all fresh and frozen beef, pork and lamb. Processed meat includes ham, bacon and sausage. White meat, such as chicken, is unlikely to increase your risk of cancer.Our adviceEat smaller and fewer parts of red and processed meat. Try using beans or peas instead of meat in your diet. When you cook meat, use low-temperature methods.FatFat is a necessary part of our diet but high-fat diet can increase our risk of cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Meat is higher in saturated fat(饱和脂肪) and eating too much saturated fat may increase your risk of breast cancer. Our adviceTry not to eat too much fatty foods. In particular, try to cut down on saturated fat contained in fatty meat, biscuits, and butter. Try to avoid frying foods in lots of oil.1. According to the passage, fruit and vegetables ___________.A. are an excellent source of fiberB. will help you get all kinds of vitamins and mineralsC. are an only necessary part of a healthy dietD. can increase the risk of some cancer types like mouth and throat cancer2. What can we know about meat from the passage?A. Eating processed meat is better than eating beans.B. Processed meat is a part of a healthy diet.C. Meat should be cooked at a high temperature.D. Eating chicken is better than eating sausage.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Saturated fat leads to breast cancer.B. Foods with fat will cause heart disease.C. A healthy diet should contain fat.D. Butter belongs to low-fat foods.BMy folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf(小牛)to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we droveto a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoota follow-up picture, so we had photos of me both on and off Tubby!When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.I hadn’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual. Livestock aren’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.4.The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.A.the family would have enough meat to eatB.B. It would provide their children with milk.C.they would have more cows in the futureD.D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.5. Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?A.

Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.B. the author’s mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.C. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.7. We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.A. petsB. educationC. dietD. animalsCAn Indian movie about two sisters has become a huge hit in China. The Hindi language film, called Dangal, has earned almost $170 million in China since its release there on May 5.Much has been written about why Dangal has enjoyed such big success in China. Some people say one reason is that the film’s star and producer, Aamir Khan. He is famous in India's Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China.Khan's popularity was clear after he got more than 600,000 followers on the Chinese social media service Sina Weibo within two months of joining. But he is not the only reason that the film strongly connects with audience across China. Media has pointed out how it shows similarities between parental systems in China and India.Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling(摔跤). He competed as a wrestler, but never could achieve his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gives birth to daughters. So he finally decides to train them to be world-class wrestlers.The movie is more serious than most Bollywood productions, which tell happy love stories and include colorful music and dance performances.Edward Chan is a professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He says the strict way of parenting in the film is something people in China can easily relate to. "I think the father role described by the movie in India is quite to the culture,especially the traditional culture in China."The Chinese government supported Global Times newspaper pointed that movie critics (评论家) in China did not like Dangal. Most of them agree with the fact that the father in the film was forceful in pushing his daughters to become wrestlers. But the film Dangal is really aimed to educate children to work for their dreams.8. What's the main reason for the father teaching his daughters to wrestle?A. He wanted to punish themB. He wanted them to realize his goal.C. Few women took this sport.D. He loved them very much.9. What do most Chinese movie critics agree?A. The truth of the whole story was doubtful.B. The film Dangal was against the Indian traditional culture.C. Indian films often have a bad influence on Chinese parents.D. The father's behaviour in the film Dangal was cruel.10. What can we learn from the text?A. Most films from Bollywood are serious.B. Indian parents' roles are similar to those in China in some way.C. Daughters perform worse in sport than sons.D. The films produced by Aamir Khan is not popular with Chinese.11. What does the author think of Dangal?A. It's unsuccessful.B. It's unknown.C. It's educational.D. It's relaxing.DOver the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal fling vehicles closer to reality. The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a model of its flying bicycle. The company says its Hoverbike will be a truly personal flying vehicle.The company’s marketing sales director Grant Stapleton says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly and can be moved across continentsvery quickly because it can be folded and packed.Safety was the company’s main concern when developing the Hoverbike. The designers solved this problem by using overlapping rotors(重叠旋翼) to power the vehicle. With adducted rotors(内转旋翼) the rider immediately not only protects people and belongings if he were to hit them, but if the rider ever were to crash into somebody or something, it’s going to bring the flying vehicle out of the air. The company is testing two models of the Hoverbike.In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size model of its personal flying device, called Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker, one officer from the company said Jetpack “is built around safety from the start.” In his words, “Reliability(可靠性) is the most important part of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.”Jetpack uses a petrol-powered engine. It also has a parachute(降落伞) that can be used if there should be an emergency(突发事件). It opens at very low altitude(纬度) and actually saves both the flying vehicle and the pilot in an emergency.Mr. Coker says Jetpack will be ready for sale to the public by the end of 2019. He adds it’ll have a price of about $200,000.12.According to the text, the Hoverbike .A.is ready for saleB.is difficult to controlC.is easy to carryD.is popular in England13.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How the Hoverbike flies.B.How models of the Hoverbike were tested.C.How the Hoverbike was powered.D.How the designers solved the Hoverbike’s problem of safety.14.The underlined word “It” in the sixth paragraph refers to .A.the petrol-powered engineB.the parachuteC.the vehicleD.the overlapping rotor15.Peter Coker attaches great importance to Jetpack’s .A.safetyB.speedC.marketD.power第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.“Don't worry if you have problems!” It is easy to say until you are in the midst of a really big one. The only people who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. Most communities have at least one. We call them cemeteries. If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.Maybe you have heard the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800 miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take visitors to view the reef.On one tour, a traveler asked the guide an interesting question. "I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful," the traveler observed. Why is this?The guide gave an interesting answer, "The coral around the lagoon side is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early. The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and adapts. It grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces."Then he added, “That's the way it is with every living organism.”That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce strength of character and faithfulness. So, you have problems? No problem! Just tell yourself, "There I grow again!"Remember: A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.1. Who has no problems according to the passage?A. The persons who are very famous.B. The persons who have much money.C. The persons who have been born.D. The persons who are living in the cemeteries.2. In the writer's opinion, ________.A. problems bring us much troubleB. problems have two sides, good or badC. we should try to stay away from any troubleD. the fewer things we do, the less trouble we'll meet3. The reason why lagoon side of the reef has no life is _______.A. it hasn't got any sunlightB. it has less energy than othersC. it has no work to do every dayD. it never faces any challenge and tests4. After reading this passage, we should ________.A. regard any problem as challengeB. learn from the lagoon sideC. worry your problemD. enter into cemeteriesBI was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as oneapproached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children”. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been improved. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.Our society often judges books by their covers, but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.5. The writer’s good mood ended when __________.A. he heard news between songsB. he had to stop at a red traffic lightC. he heard a rich man broke the lawD. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need6. What were four bikers doing at the traffic light?A. Having a bicycle race in the street.B. Selling helmets to the passers-by.C. Raising money to help kids in need.D. Preparing for Christmas holidays.7. The writer wants to tell us that we should ___________.A. have faith in young peopleB. judge others by their actionsC. change our attitude to societyD. manage to help others in needCTV Affects dreamsWe have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。

It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recog nized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to.

After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puz zled.

Would you like to discover all the corners of the UK, or travel abroad? Maybe you have never tried the motor home lifestyle before. Well, read this article and you will know why a motor home is a good choice.Nothing is better than a motor home. It has so many uses that it is considered the most versatile vehicle and it is also very comfortable. If you are thinking about hiring a motor home this summer, then the best choice is to book it early, especially if you are considering the school holidays. The motor home hire service is very seasonal and motor home hire companies will never have extra vehicles available in the summer months.There are a lot of companies throughout the UK, and some of the big ones have motor homes spread all over the country. At present, the largest network for motor home hire is provided by Motor home which is based in Cambridge. If you are in the UK, you may phone 0800612-8719 for details of its motor home hire information. Motor home has a network of over 500 vehicles all over England, Scotland and Wales.Most people wishing to hire a motor home are families that are looking for an alternative to a European package holiday, especially as flying now has become more expensive, and is considered to be environmentally unfriendly. There is no doubt that the idea of no-fly holidays is going to become more popular as fewer people think it is safe to fly. This explains why more and more people are choosing to hire a motor home for their holidays.8.The main purpose of this text is to explain why it is a good idea to _________.A. take an adventureB. travel to EnglandC. try a new lifestyleD. hire a motor home9.What does the underlined word “versatile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. Fr om the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style o f clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority —someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teenscontinue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.12.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A.
