AAruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world.You’re probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you’re in Aruba.ClothesThe main reason why you’re heading there is to relax on the country’s fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you’ll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool area, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner –regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments. What else to bring?The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.What NOT to bring?While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. Thereis no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.1.Tourists choose Aruba for a destination mainly because__________.A. they can wear casual clothes freelyB. they can enjoy the beautiful sceneryC. they can relax on the beach and in watersD. they can have a wonderful dinner party there2. Which of the following is not advised to do in Aruba?A. Wearing a T-shirt in a restaurant.B. Preparing suncream in advance.C. Wearing beach clothes for dinner.D. Taking along sun glasses before going out.3. The purpose of the text is to__________.A. provide information for touristsB. offer advice on travelling in ArubaC. attract more tourists to travel in ArubaD. warn tourists against doing wrong thingsBI never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of years and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t matc h my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classics doesn’t convince them, they tell me.I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from scratch — even after 29 years.I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something —whether it’s how to cr aft an argumentative thesis sentence or how to understand the effect of repetition in The Declaration of Independence. I love to see thechildren write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job —the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to be productive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.4.The author became a teacher because he ____________.A. needed money to go to a law schoolB. loved dealing with childrenC. loved teaching very muchD. failed to get a “real” job5. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author _________.A. often pays no attention to his outfitB. is good at convincing his studentsC. enjoys his time with his studentsD. doesn’t re ad many classics6. According to Paragraph 4, the author continues to teach most probably because ________.A. teaching makes him feel he can make a difference to childrenB. teaching makes him realize every day is differentC. he can learn a lot of things from teachingD. he likes to be praised by his students7. What is the passage mainly about?A. What the author has learned as a teacher.B. What the author thinks of being a teacher.C. Why the author didn’t choose to become a lawyer.D. Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.CA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops butcovers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” —a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression —“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” —a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.8. What is special about the “silent cafes”?A. It provides various tea and books.B. People are not allowed to communicate.C. It has attracted many popular young people.D. It offers service by writing not by speaking.9. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?A. The increasing social isolation.B. The stable economic situation.C. The rising demand for privacy.D. The rapid development of internet.10. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Silent cafesB. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman weddingD. Social recluses in JapanDA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They conducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched video s in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies —regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.12. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby’ early ag e.D. The connection with other babies.13. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.14. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.15. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.C. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.D. Social communication improv es babies’ brain development.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

四川省成都外国语学校2018-2019学年高二下学期3月月考试题英语(含答案)

成都外国语学校18-19下期高二英语3月考试（EIM Unit 3, B6 Unit2）I.阅读理解：（2’）Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems.Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.1. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are _____________.A. sprayed with pesticidesB. facing an infrared scannerC. in poor physical conditionD. exposed to excessive sun rays2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to____________.A. estimate the damage to the cropsB. measure the size of the affected areaC. draw a color-coded mapD. locate the problem area3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by______________.A. resorting to spot-sprayingB. consulting infrared scanning expertsC. transforming poisoned rainD. detecting crop problems at an early stage4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _______________.A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of_____________.A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on cropsC. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD. full support from agricultural expertsII.完型填空（1.5’）When 12 girls from San Fernando High School in California received a grant (经费) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.For over a year, the girls have been using all their free time to complete the ___1___“They have this amazing internal (内心的) 2 that I’ve never seen in any individual,”Violet Mardirosian, a teacher at San Fernando High who is 3 with the team on the project, told The Huffington Post. “I thought 4___ that maybe some of them would give up, say ‘I didn’t 5 _ this much work,’but they haven’t. They’re just working hard and they’re not giving up and they’re super 6 __ .”Living in a low-income community, the girls have seen the 7 of homelessness first-hand. Many of them are from immigrant families and hoped the 8 , which is powered by rechargeable solar panels (控制板), would help the 9 .Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia told the Huffington Post that 10 she had no previous 11 experience, the girls figured out as a team how to 12 the shelter using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important 13 she’s learned during the project isn’t technical.“I’ve learned a lot about 14 others, helping the community and being selfless and showing a better world to other people and 15 someone else’s life,”she said. The project was carried out with DIY Girls, a nonprofit that helps fund STEM –science, technology, engineering and math –projects for 16 .Mardirosian said all the participating students have 17 their interest in STEM through this project.“Many of them didn’t think about engineering before. They thought maybe they’re not 18 out to be an engineer. But working together, now they 19 their skill –whether a writing skill or a drawing skill or a speaking skill, they’re all 20 in this field.

AMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.1. What the grandfather was most worried about was .A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other2. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means________.A. order for army serviceB. train ticket for EuropeC. letter of rejectionD. note of warning3. What did the “service pins”(in Para.2) stand for in the eyes of the little girls?A. StrengthB. CourageC. VictoryD. Honor4. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?A. DisappointingB. UnexpectedC. UncertainD. InspiringBThere is a 1930s-old restaurant in my hometown that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone.Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. In public places this meant turning to the phone booth—a private chamber where one could converse in peace without being overheard.Even at home, phone calls used to be regarded as private. Growing up in the 1960s, we had one phone in the house—fixed to the kitchen wall.As a kid, I didn't get or make many calls. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. She'd take it, say “Hello, Mrs. Flaubert，” and then, “one moment please，” as she placed her hand over the receiver, turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don't you go outside and play？”Flash forward to what cellphones have done to the past. Within the space of very few years, private conversations have become public declaration, and being overheard seems to be the point. A large part of the problem, of course, is that we now carry our phones with us, and the reflex(反射) to answer the device as soon as it rings is a response Pavlov would have appreciated.But the information is revealed! Not long ago I was sitting in Boston's South Station, waiting for my train. After purchasing a sandwich, I sat down at a table near a man who was on his cellphone.Let me paraphrase what the man had to say：“Yes, that's right. The red and yellow roses. That will be a Visa.” Then he proceeded to recite his card number and expiration date before signing off.I stared unbelievably at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked，“What？”My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date.There is no more privacy, no longer a sense of personal borders or limits and the cellphone has become a loudspeaker.To return to phone booths: Why did they disappear? And should you think a phone booth has no value today, I saw one on eBay going for $4，750.5. Why do private conversations turn into public declaration according to the passage?A. Phone booths have died out in modern life.B. People lack a sense of personal borders or limits.C. The content of phone calls is not that sensitive.D. It is convenient for people to reach for cellphones.6. By describing what happened in Boston's South Station, the author indicates that ________．A. it's ridiculous to answer cellphones in public placesB. it's impolite to overhear others answering cellphonesC. it's necessary to keep a safe distance from others when answering phonesD. it's inappropriate to touch on personal information in cellphone conversations7. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Pavlov is in favor of answering cellphones instantly.B. Something seemingly old-fashioned holds its charm today.C. Phone booths are very popular with consumers on the Internet.D. People used to lack a sense of trust and security in the 1960s.CThere are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual ant hardly weighs anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals of their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful behavior.In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor, ants depend primarily on pheromones , chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrificetheir lives to help defeat an enemy.Behavior in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.8.We can learn from the passage that ants are _______.A.not willing to share foodB.not found around the polesC.more successful than all other animalsD.too many to achieve any level of organization9.Ants can use pheromones for ______.A. escapeB. communicationC. warning enemiesD. arranging labor10.What does the underlined expression “take on” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.AcceptB. EmployC. Play withD. Fight against11.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A.Their behaviorB. Their sizeC. Their numberD. Their weightDOne day in 1995, a large, heavy middle-aged man robbed two Pittsburgh banks in broad daylight. He didn't wear a mask and he smiled at surveillance cameras before walking out of each bank. Later that night, police arrested a surprised McArthur Wheeler. When they showed him the surveillance tapes, Wheeler stared in disbelief. “But I wore the juice，” he said. Apparently, Wheeler thought that rubbing lemon juice on his skin would make him invisible to videotape cameras. After all, lemon juice is used as invisible ink, so, as long as he didn't come near a heat source,he should have been completely invisible.The case caught the eye of the psychologist David Dunning at Cornell University, who enlisted his graduate student, Justin Kruger, to see what was going on. They reasoned that, while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual fields, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of confidence” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”，and describes the cognitive bias to inflate self-assessment.To investigate this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative rankings compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always overestimated how well they did—by a lot. Students who scored in the bottom estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!Sure, it's typical for people to overestimate their abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but also they are robbed of the ability to realize their mistakes. In a semester-long study of college students, good students could better predict their performance on future exams if given feedback about their scores and rankings. However, the poorest performers showed no recognition, despite clear and repeated feedback that they were doing badly. Instead of being confused or thoughtful about their incorrect ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are correct. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man(1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”Interestingly, really smart people also fail to accurately self-assess their abilities. As much as D- and F-grade students overestimate their abilities, A-grade students underestimate theirs. The difference is that competent people can and do adjust their self-assessment if given appropriate feedback, while incompetent individuals cannot.12.Which of the following statements about the Dunning-Kruger effect is TRUE?A. The effect is true for everyone in daily life.B. It suggests that most people lack cognitive abilities.C. Some people are overconfident about their abilities.D. The conclusion is drawn based on a series of bank robberies.13. What do the college students' behaviors mentioned in the experiments prove?A. Feedback plays a significant role in estimating one's ability.B. Incompetent people have a rather fixed attitude towards their choice.C. Good students always predict their future performance accurately.D. People can't rely on their previous behavior to make adjustments.14. The underlined word “begets” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “________”.A. gives rise toB. takes advantage ofC. makes up forD. breaks away from15. What can we infer from the passage?A. Real knowledge is knowing the extent of one's ignorance.B. It is impossible for people to evaluate their real competence.C. Illusion of confidence is the major source of people's failure.D. Those with great abilities often have a low opinion of themselves.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

In Advanced Poetry Writing Class, you are asked to ______.A. lay steady foundations for the basis of poetry writingB. hand in your poems getting ready for publicationC. make comments on the work of your classmatesD. give some lectures on basics of poetry craft4. The passage is most probably from a ______.A. newspaper advertisementB. book reviewC. scientific magazineD. news reportBCancer is feared by everyone. And there is more and more fear about cancer. Not the disease itself — there is no such thing as a high incidence rates of cancer. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are not on the rise. However, some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety. The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less, scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning.The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world — for example, the high incidence of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These data show there may be specific environmental influences, but largely based on personal life-style, which determines the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities — that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.5. According to the passage, the incidence of cancer is generally believed _____.A. to be based on inactive life styleB. to be due to anxietyC. to result from environmental influencesD. to be caused by heavy smoking6. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer’s opinion about the relationship betweencancer and environment is _____.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. approving7. According to the passage, the writer seems to feel that _____.A. the risk of catching cancer is on the riseB. the whole earth is coming to seem like a huge carcinogenC. the risk of catching cancer isn’t so great as people thinkD. cancer can be cured if the environment is cleaned up8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cancer and EnvironmentB. The Fear Caused by CancersC. Data on Cancer IncidenceD. Cancer and its InvestigationCHigh-quality customer service is preached（宣扬）by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the V erde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered（塞满了的）shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.9. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?A. Most shoppers won’t complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints.D. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store managers.10. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?A. New customers are sure to replace old ones.B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.C. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.11. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?A. Manners of the salespeople.B. Hiring of efficient employees.C. Huge supply of goods for sale.D. Design of the store display.12. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ______.A. put pressure on stores to improve their serviceB. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly wayC. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directlyD. shop around and make comparisons between storesDYou hear the comment all the time: the U.S. economy looks good by figures, but it doesn’t feel good. Why doesn’t ever-greater wealth promote ever-greater happiness? It is a question that dates at least to the appearance in 1958 of The Wealthy Society by John Kenneth Galbraith, who died recently at 97.The Wealthy Society is a modern classic because it helped describe a new moment in the human condition. For most of history, “hunger, sickness, and cold” threatened nearly everyone, Galbraith wrote. “Poverty was found everywhere in that world. Obviously it is not of ours.” After World War II, the fear of another Great Depression gave way to an economic growth. In the 1930s unemployment had averaged 18.2 percent; in the 1950s it was 4.5 percent.To Galbraith, materials had gone mad and would cause discontent. Through advertising, companies conditioned consumers to buy things they didn’t really want or need. Because so much spending was artificial, it would be unsatisfying. Meanwhile, government spending that would make everyone better off was being cut down because people wrongly considered government only as “a necessary bad.”It’s often said that only the rich are getting ahead; everyone else is standing still or falling behind. Well, there are many undeserving rich — overpaid chief managers, for instance. But over any meaningful period, most people’s incomes are increasing. From 1995 to 2004, people feel “squeezed” because their rising incomes often don’t satisfy their rising wants — for bigger homes, more health care, more education, and faster Internet connections.The other great disappointment is that it has not got rid of insecurity. People regard job stability as part of their standard of living. As company unemployment increased, that part has gradually become weaker. More workers fear they’ve become “the disposable American,” as Louis Uchitelle puts it in his book by the same name.Because so much previous suffering and social conflict resulted from poverty, the arrival of widespread wealth suggested utopian (乌托邦式的) possibilities. Up to a point, wealth succeeds. There is much less physical suffering than before. People are better off. Unfortunately, wealth also creates new complaints.Advanced societies need economic growth to satisfy the multiplying wants of their citizens. But the search for growth cause new anxieties and economic conflicts that disturb the social order. Wealth sets free the individual, promising that everyone can choose a unique way to self-accomplishment. But the promise is so unreasonable that it leads to many disappointments and sometimes inspires choices that have anti-social consequences, including family breakdown. Figures indicate that happiness has not risen with incomes.Should we be surprised? Not really. We’ve simply confirmed an old truth: the seeking of wealth does not always end with happiness.13.The Wealthy Society is a book ________.A. about poverty in the pastB. written by Louis UchitelleC. indicating that people are becoming worse offD. about why happiness does not rise with wealth14.According to Galbraith, people feel discontented because ________.A. materialism has run wild in modern societyB. they are in fear of another Great DepressionC. public spending hasn’t been cut down as expectedD. the government has proved to be necessary but ugly15.What does Louis Uchitelle mean by “the disposable American” ?A. People with a stable job.B. Workers who no longer have secure jobs.C. Those who see job stability as part of their living standard.D. People who have a sense of security because of their rising incomes.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，选项中有两项为多余项。

AThere are many weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports.The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:This indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThis is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges. The person to win would have to finish the race without losing his female partner in the course of overcoming the obstacles even for once. This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your feet.1. Which sport requires couples to participate?A. The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse.B. Love Locked Race.C. Toe sport.D. The Mud Pit Belly Flop.2. Which statement shows the popularity of the Toe Sport?A. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.B. The locals took this sport with great enjoyment.C.

People with agility and strength.B. People with companions.C. Marathon runners.D. Horse riders.【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。

AAruba is one of the most well-known Caribbean destinations for tourists around the world. You’re probably wondering what to include as well as what to wear while you’re in Aruba. ClothesThe main reason why you’re heading there is to relax on the country’s fresh beaches and joy in warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. During most of the day, you’ll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool ar ea, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner – regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments.What else to bring?The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.What NOT to bring?While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. There is no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.1.Tourists choose Aruba for a destination mainly because__________.A. they can wear casual clothes freelyB. they can enjoy the beautiful sceneryC. they can relax on the beach and in watersD. they can have a wonderful dinner party there2. Which of the following is not advised to do in Aruba?A. Wearing a T-shirt in a restaurant.B. Preparing suncream in advance.C. Wearing beach clothes for dinner.D. Taking along sun glasses before going out.3. The purpose of the text is to__________.A. provide information for touristsB. offer advice on travelling in ArubaC. attract more tourists to travel in ArubaD. warn tourists against doing wrong thingsBI never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of ye ars and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t match my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classics doesn’t convince them, they tell me.I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from scratch — even after 29 years.I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something — whether it’s how to craft an argumentative thesis sentence or how to understand the effect of repetition in The Declaration of Independence. I love to see the children write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job — the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to beproductive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.4.The author became a teacher because he ____________.A. needed money to go to a law schoolB. loved dealing with childrenC. loved teaching very muchD. failed to get a “real” job5.

Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.CA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing caféw aiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” —a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression —“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place viaTwitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the ide a of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” —a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.8.

Social recluses in JapanDA study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿) connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsiblefor speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar.“Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones—no matter how educational—doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They c onducted a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies —regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio—learned nothing.12. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?A. Having a higher IQ.B. Experiencing new information.C. The baby’ early age.D. The connection with other babies.13. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?A. Babies identify different sound patterns.B. Word order is relevant to meaning.C. Babies can well understand different words.D. A certain brain region processes language.14. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?A. Grammar is important in learning languages.B. Different orders have different meanings.C. Different languages have different grammar.D. Words have different sounds.15. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.B. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.C. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.D. Social communication improves babies’ brain development.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，选项中有两项为多余项。
