The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two 1 systems on the whole.The 2 of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated孕育by 3 . In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own 4 . Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture 5 went overseas toJapan, 6 into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same 7 .When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was 8 on the Mesopotamian Plain美索不达米亚平原---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the 9 of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European onealso 10 waters. When the colonists of England 11 in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't 12 from the European one a lot.At the same time, the difference of the language systems 13 _ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.Other factors like human race difference counts as well.

高二下学期期末考试英语试卷真题
高二下学期期末考试英语试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict with resolution. Both sides in the conflict explain what they feel happened to cause the conflict. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator（调解人）.After both sides state what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve the conflict. They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to.Communication throughout the entire conflict resolution process is always exchanged in a calm manner without anger. Everyone attempts to use good listening and attending skills while people are talking.If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry, the mediator’s role is to ad dress this and have the people treat each other with respect.After various suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, discussion centers on the best solution. Conflict resolution is used in many environments to help solve disagreements in a peaceful way. This is an example of how conflict resolution works in a school playground setting: Someone says that a student pushed them on the soccer field.The person accused as the “pusher” claims it was an accident.The mediator takes the two people who are upset somewhere in a quieter spot and talk.Each person describes what happened, and the mediator makes the matter clear to everyone by repeating what he heard.The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem and the two individuals （个体）offer solutions.The individuals discuss the solutions and come to some agreement on the solution.Conflict resolution can work in many settings and it can work with several individuals at once. In any event, it is worth trying to get at the heart of the matter by involving the individuals who have a concern. It encourages them to analyze what really happened, to share their feelings about the conflict, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem. Conflict resolution gives those involved a structure（框架）to use with a mediator to help reach an agreement. That is to say, it allows people to see a workable framework.（1）What is the word in the text that means “a solution to the conflict”?A . ResolutionB . DisagreementC . AngryD . Address（2）The writer gives the example in the passage in order to ．A . show the importance of a mediator in daily lifeB . explain how a mediator works in a football matchC . make it clear what the workable steps are in conflict resolutionD . state how conflict resolution is used in different environments（3）According to the text, what is the conflict resolution used for?A . for talkingB . for finding a mediatorC . for taking your timeD . for havinga framework to solve problems2. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

New Balance ClimbC. playing with giant flowersD. cooking food at play or TV studios3.Who might be most interested in this passage?A. Parents.B. Students.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn ' t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn ' t catch anything. I usuallygot pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish ” , I remember being even more upset then because, "I' m not a fish!” I didn ' t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is whyfish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, wateris usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don ' t have any eyelids( 眼皮）and the sun hurts their eyes …The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding andcatching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “ We all need to think like sales people. ” But it didn ’ t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “ If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman. ” What he said was, “ You needto think like a fish. ” Years later, with great efforts to promote lon g-term services to peoplemuch older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.4.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.5.What did the author ’ s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.6.According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ____ .A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.7.After entering the business world, the author found ______ .A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father ’ s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss ’ s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor peopleCIn 2006, Sal Khan launched “ Khan Academy” to provide YouTube teaching for his 12 -year-old cousin who needed help with maths. The online school now provides more than 580 million online lessons in over 36 languages. Last fall, Khan created a physical school in California.The Khan Lab School runs differently from traditional schools. There ’ s no homework or grades, and students —ranging from ages five to 12 —sha re the same classroom. “ It ’ s only 150 yearsthat we separated children by age in classrooms, ” said Khan. “ The idea is that you can learna lot from the students who are a little older than you and if you ’ re 12 years old you couldexercise a lot of leadersh ip being a teacher assistant for the younger students. ”The school also breaks up the students based on their “ independence level, ” rather than their age.“ Whatever independence level you ’ re on —whether in math, reading or writing —you’ re on your own tra ck, ” he explained.Another unique feature of the school is that it runs all day, all-year long. Khan said theproblem with the current school schedule is that they do not have enough learning time. “ Thegap between the U.S. and Shanghai test scores can be explained by time in the classroom, ” Khansaid. “ You have the summer learning loss, which is not only time that you ’ re not learning whenyou could be, but also you ’ re forgetting the things that you learned at the end of last year. ”Now Khan Lab School enters its second year. Khan said he hopes to use the reach of the KhanAcademy, which has more than 30 million users now, to send students and teachers in other schools information on how to create similar learning experiences in their classrooms.st fall, Sal Khan ______ .A. launched an online courseB. set up The Khan Lab SchoolC. helped his cousin with mathsD. started Khan Academy on the Internet9.Which is one of the features of the Khan Lab School?A. Kids are separated by ages.B. Kids are trained to be teachers.C. Younger kids learn from older ones.D. Older kids learn less than younger ones.10.What can be inferred from Paragraph Four?A.Students in America spend little time at school.B.American schools run all day, all-year long.C.Learning time is very important for test scores.D.Summer is the best time for learning.11.According to the last paragraph, Khan is going to _____ .A. share the school ’ s experienceB. attract more studentsC. create more similar schoolsD. hire more teachersDThe popular smartphone application Instagram（照片分享） has changed the way we look at photography, even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking（创新的） aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility hasalso created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram ’ s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration —despite how accessible, commonand fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.12.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A.The increasing popularity of Instagram.B.The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C.The changes that Instagram brings us.D.The differences between Instagram and professional photography.13.What can the smartphone application Instagram do?A.Help people to discover true self.B.Inspire people to find the beauty in life.C.Encourage people to be more competitive.D.Let people gain others ' respect and admiration.14.Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A.Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B.Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C.Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D.Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.15.What does the writer think of professional photography?A. Useful.B. Valueless.C. Helpless.D. Absurd.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that .A. the boy helped arrest the murdererB. Benny died of an accidentC. the murderer got away with the crimeD. Annika carried out the crimeBChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.25.

The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.CGoing green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.29. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Going Green.B. Protecting the Planet.C. Keeping Open-MindedD. Celebrating Our Green Year.30. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A. they were expected to follow the green fadB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks31. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.B. They ignored other s’ ungreen behavior.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.32. What can we infer form the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green project.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.DInside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,the spirit of generosity（慷慨)is instantly noticeable :A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile HighCity for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy , delicious lunches six days a week . Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters andwaitresses , and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.“It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right” , says co-owner Brad Birky , who started the café in 2006. with his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable ,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,” He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up,” saysBirky.33.What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?A. They refused to have volunteers.B. They offered low quality food.C. They provided customers with a good environment.D. They closed down because of poor management.34.

高二下学期英语期末考试试卷(附答案)
高二下学期英语期末考试试卷（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题 2 分，满分30 分）（共 4 题；共30分）1. 阅读理解We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfullylooking for a solution.The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade（降解） in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms（微生物）．If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted（调制） a solution of household chemicals, yeast（酵母）and tap water to encourage microbes growth . Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months ．Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control ．Sure enough, the plastic exposed（暴露） to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.“ Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me ．One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags．The answer: not much ．So I decided to do something myself. ” Said Daniel Burd.（ 1）_____________________________________________________________________ Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because _______________________________________________ .A.he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter timeB.he contributed much to environmental protectionC.he found a new kind of microorganismD.he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way（ 2）_____________________________________________________________ D aniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ___________________________________________________________ .A.make the live bacteria work betterB.know which bacteria worked fasterC.test how effective his method wasD.control the temperature in the process（ 3）_________________________________________________________________ Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ______________________________________________________ .A.plastics can get hot easilyB.microbes can produce heat themselvesC.much carbon dioxide is producedD.the temperature can be controlled（ 4）__________________________________ Daniel Burd got his idea from .A.his school textbookB.the failure of researchersC.his everyday workD.the practice of other people2.阅读理解For hours after their boat sank, Ken Henderson and Coen trod（踏） water in the Gulf of Mexico, talking about life and death while struggling to survive. For more than 30 hours, it worked.Then Henderson was forced to make a decision. "I'm going to go for help or you're not going to make it, Henderson told Coen, just before cutting the strap( 带子)that connected them in the deep, cold waters. "I understand, " Coen responded, giving Henderson a last set of instructions, “ Kiss my babies for me.Days after the fishing trip ended in tragedy, Henderson told the story for The Associated Press.They had been fishing for a few hours when suddenly Coen noticed the boat was filling with water.Henderson got both motors roaring, only to have the saltwater that had leaked in break them straightaway …Coen jumped to the right, his sunglasses and cap flying off. The two grabbed extra life jackets and other floating items, including a half full bottle of Diet Coke.“The water was so cold and it took your breath away," Henderson said. They immediately began to trembl The pair prepared for a long wait. And they talked.“We discussed things and discussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied, Henderson said.Eventually Coen started hallucinating( 有幻觉).Henderson tried to keep Coen's arms and legs moving. But as morning came, Coen's situation worsened. And so Henderson decided to cut the strap.He swam for two hours, tired, frustrated and depressed. Then he saw an oil rig( 钻探平台)in the distance. Heswam, seeing ice and crystal trees in the water. He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself up the rig's ladder.It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.All he could think of was Coen. Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.Two hours later, a fisherman found a body in a life jacket.Later, in the hospital, Henderson saw his friend. He apologized and asked for forgiveness. He promised to realize his wishes and look after his girls.“I felt like a part of me had died out there, " Henderson said.(1)Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A.It was Henderson who first noticed something was wrong with the boat.B.Everything the men did to get the boat to work made matters worse.C.Henderson alone did what he could but it had little effect.D.The men's long discussion about life and death filled them with sadness.(2)After Henderson cut the strap and swam away, .A.he regretted his decision to leave his friendB.he knew he had a good chance of being savedC.he had to fight against exhaustion and hallucinationsD.he got encouraged by remembering the talk with Coen(3)What can we conclude from the article?A.Henderson tried to rescue both of them.B.They kept talking because they felt excited.C.Coen would have survived if he had believed in his friend.D.Coen was unwilling to be left alone but he eventually agreed.(4)What kind of person is Henderson?A.Strong-willed and loyal.B.Selfish but decisive.C.Smart and creative.D.Experienced but indifferent.3.阅读理解By now, you've probably been warned that a robot is coming for your job. But rather than repeat the warning, I've decided to throw down a challenge: man against machine.Start with the task we're doing right now: communicating in fluent human. We're sharing abstract ideas through wordsthat we choose with an understanding of their slight difference and impact. We don't just speakin human; we speak as humans. A robot who says that science is fun is delivering a line （念一句话）. A humanwho says that science is fun is telling you something important about being alive.Here's another inbuilt advantage we take for granted: as humans we are limited by design. We are bound in time: we die. We are bound in space: we can't be in more than one place at a time. That means when I speak to an audience, I am giving them something special. It's a custom-made, one-off, 100% robot-free delivery, from today's one-and-only Australian Chief Scientist.True, I now come in digital versions, through Twitter and Facebook and other platforms, but the availability of those tools hasn't stopped people from inviting me to speak in person. Digital Alan seems to increase the appetite for human Alan, just as Spotify （a digital music service） can increase the demand for a musician's live performances.Thanks to technology, many goods and services are cheaper, better and more accessible than ever before. We like ourmass-produced bread, and our on-tap lectures and our automated FitBit advice. But automation hasn't killed the artisan bakery （面包店）. Online courses haven't killed the booming, alongside their machine equivalents.Here's a third argument for the win. We humans have learned the habit of civilization. Let me explain this point by a story. A few years go, some researchers set out to study the way the people interact with robots. They sent out a small robot to patrol （巡逻） the local mall. That robot had a terrible time, and the villains of the story were children. They kicked him, bullied him, and smacked （掌击） him in the head.The point is not that the children were violent. The point is that the adults were not. They restrained whatever primitive impulse （冲动） they might have felt in childhood to smack something smaller and weaker in the head, because they had absorbed the habit of living together. We call it civilization. If we want artificial intelligence for the people, we'll need every bit of that civilizing instinct.Together, these points suggest to me that humanity has a powerful competitive edge. We can coexist with our increasingly capable machines and we can make space for the full breadth of human talents to flourish. （1）What's humans' second advantage according to the author?A.Our special personality.B.Our super intelligence.C.Our unique existence.D.Our language ability.（ 2）What's the author's attitude towards Spotify and FitBit?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Grateful.D.Reserved.（ 3）Why does the author tell the story of a small robot?A.To prove humans are well-educated.B.To show children are naughty in nature.C.To suggest machines will become violent.D.To indicate machines can serve humans well.（ 4）What's the author's final conclusion about humans and machines?A.Both sides would be losers in the fight.B.Humans will completely defeat machines.C.Machines will replace humans in many fields.D.Humans and machines will live in harmony with each other.4. 阅读理解One of the most firmly established idea of manliness is that a real man doesn't cry. Although he might shed a tear at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Sobbing openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do —five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.Historically, however, men routinely wept, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights cried purely because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelotweeps at a brief separation from Guinevere. There's no mention of the men in these stories trying to restrain or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do their companions make fun of this public crying; it'suniversally regarded as an admirable expression of feeling.So where did all the male tears go? The most obvious possibility is that this shift is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural society to one that was urban（城市的） and industrial. In the Middle Ages, most people spent theirlives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize. But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where emotional expressions and even private conversations were discouraged as time wasting.Yet human beings weren't designed to swallow their emotions, and there's reason to believe that holding back tears canbe harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and inadequate crying. Weeping is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.（ 1）___________________________________ In history, people considered it for men to cry in public.A.manlyB.acceptableC.shamefulD.ridiculous（ 2）How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3?A.By making comparisons.B.By explaining effects.C.By offering descriptions.D.By giving definitions （定义）.（ 3）Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage?A.Tony who lives alone and seldom expresses himself.B.Emily who is outgoing but sometimes sobs in public.C.Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.D.Rebecca who sometimes cries but quickly regain control. 二、任务型阅读（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）（共 1 题；共10 分）5.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。

But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon, someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said, "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

B．Writer. C．Researcher. D．Adviser.DThroughout the world, clothing has many uses.It is used to provide protection from the elements.It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one's body.However, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world.Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural（神奇的） protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status, intentions and other messages.In North America, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.North American women are usually much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men.At times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpretation of female intentions on the part of men.Of course, clothing styles are also intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender (性别)．Long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender,age, economic class, and often even intentions.We begin to recongnize the important cultural clues at an early age.The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles，jewellery, and other body decoration.In most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age，gender，and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you.This can be the case with a doctor's white lab coat, or an army uniform.Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status.For instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms.There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages.These include body and hair paint, and even body deformation（损伤）.When doctors put braces on teeth, they are actually doing the same thing—deforming of reforming（改进） a part of the body to make it more attractive.13．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A．Clothing and Culture B．Communication through ClothingC．Clothing and Social Behavior D．Ways of Sending Messages14．Some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believe________.A．clothes have extraordinary powerB．clothes can hide their fear for the examC．shirts can make them more comfortableD．shirts provide protection against bad weather15．In North America, men sometimes misunderstand women's intention because________.A．men are more careless than womenB．women spend more time on their clothesC．men and women have different views on clothing stylesD．men are careless about the different messages communicated by clothes第二节完形填空 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1～15各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Each student who volunteered to participate received a bracelet. Before the first class and after the last class of each day, students were instructed to upload a photoof their bracelet to the school’s public Wechat account if they did not use their cell phones.Over 800 students signed up for the experiment and 400 were selected to participate. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The experiment was set for 21 days because of a claim in psychology that 21 days is the length of time required to form any habit.According to the teachers monitoring the activity, there were no rewards or punishments in the experiment.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to myseven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,”she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Although shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28. From the passage we know .A. Annie knew how important she was to her motherB. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her sonC. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel WhiskersD.

Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happiness with kids.DChinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from Chinafeel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This service was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,”said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’assignment was a “historic moment”recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

AIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,”she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.21. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B.

Beehives (蜂窝)-either recorded or real-may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer's crops.In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmer to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away.Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next，Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in close to each family.From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre-recorded sound ofangry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy Played the sound of a waterfall instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial (最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away.29. We know from the passage that elephants may be frightened of .A. loud noisesB. some cropsC. video camerasD. angry bees30. As mentioned in the passage, Lucy_________.A. works by herself in AfricaB. needs to test more elephant groupsC. has stopped elephants eating cropsD. has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms31. Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive?A. To record the sound of bees.B. To make a video of elephants.C. To see if elephants would run away.D. To find out more about the behavior of bees.32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Young elephants ignore African honeybees.B. Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place.C. Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them.D. Farmers do not allow Lucy to conduct tests in their fields.DClose your eyes for a minutes and imagine what life would be like of you had a hundred dollars less. Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed. Imagine having to read this page, not with your eyes but with your finger-tips.

AA man was on the side of the road hitchhiking (搭便车) on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rainstorm, with no cars on the road. The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop. The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering wheel (方向盘)!The car started to move very slowly. The man looked at the road and saw a curve (拐弯处) coming his way. Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life. He had not comeout of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man, paralyzed (瘫痪的) with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve. Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky (幽灵般的) car. Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town. In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car. Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was telling with fear and he was certainly not drunk!About half an hour later, two other young men walked into the same bar and one said to the other, “Hey, isn’t it fun that a stupid man jumped into and then out of the car while we were pushing it?”21.

There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands--Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney--have long been known for the fine breeds (品种) of cattle that are raised on them and named after them.In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War II, when the Germans ruled the islands for five years. Then the ownership returned to their former owner.Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered English,their customs are more French than English.25. Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney breeds of cattle are __________.A. considered best in EnglandB. named after their birthplacesC. brought to the islands by the GermansD. raised on well-known farms by the French26.

Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes (烟雾) from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the countryside.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum (石油) production add particles (微粒) to the air.The effects of air pollution range from loss of clear vision, mild headaches to death. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode (腐蚀). In some larger cities, these fumes endanger the life of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early deaths.28. The key point of the passage is that _________.A. the cause of air pollution is peopleB. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in citiesC. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to deathsD. air pollution is caused by dirty air29. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To persuade people to stop polluting the air.B. To tell the causes of air pollution.C. To tell why cities have larger populations.D. To describe why cities are bad places to live.30. Why is air pollution heavier in the city than in the countryside?A. Because there are more people in cities.B. Because the air in the city is dirty.C. Because there are more cars in the city.D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energyin the city than in the country.31. In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may result in _________.A. heart diseaseB. serious headacheC. lung diseaseD. loss of clear visionDWhen asked what they most like to eat, teenagers in the UK will say that foods like pizza, burgers and chips are their favorite.But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should eat. According to the National Diet and Nutrition (营养) Survey, far too many young people in the UK between 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), fiber, iron, vitamins and calcium (钙) is too low.For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt (酸奶) 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 should be 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. failed at last35. Which of the following opinions does the author probably agree to?A. Lifestyle habits are difficult to change.C. Teenagers should learn to feed themselves better.B. Old people should eat healthily.D. Teenagers should never eat fast and junk food.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，并在机读答题卷上将该项涂黑。
