It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fis herman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gu lps.“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish cos ts only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish h ead. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for br ain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at t he fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman l aughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”21.

The boy paid three pounds. He should have had ________ __.A. a whole fishB. a fish head and one pound backC. a whole fish and one pound backD. a whole fish, a fish head and one pound backBRecently a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the e xercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of ev ery penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend th eir money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you arevery good friends. But you’ll know him only when you ask t o lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stranger than ever before. Or it can s uddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person ma y say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.Since money is important to us, we consider those who pos sess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed so me millionaires in researching his book.Question: What is the most surprising thing you have disco vered about being rich, because you are a self-made man?Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me s o much respect. I’m nothing. I don’t know much. All I am is ric h.People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for anygiven purposes in my life? In this book, the professor unco vered an important need in modern society; to bring back the i dea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money p lays an important role in the modern world, but expecting mon ey to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.24. According to the first paragraph, people haven’t realized _ _________.A. how important money is in their day-to-day lifeB. how one spends money shows what is important to himC. that money is more important than their philosophy of lifeD. that their understanding of life is more important than mone y25. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money __________.A. is a good way to test your friendB. will do harm to your friendC. will strengthen your friendshipD. is a good way to break off your friendship26. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer i n the interview?A. He doesn’t feel that he is well educated.B. He doesn’t think he is a very important person.C. He doesn’t think being rich deserves so much attention.D. He doesn’t consider himself to be very successful.CBolivia has a population three and a half million . About one te nth of the total population are white ， one-fourth are mixed Indians and white，and more than half are full-blooded Indians . The government and the industries are und er the control of the white people .The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancesto rs . Most of them are farmers . Many work in the mines , for mining is the most important industry in Bolivia . Of all the min ing products , tin is the most important , which makes up three -fourths of all Bolivia’s exports . The eastern slopes of the And es , since there are very few roads there , are fertile but not hi ghly developed . The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters . East of the hill region are the great pl ains where tropical plants are grown . A serious problem for B olivia is the transport of food from the warm regions , where it is grown to the mountainous regions , where most of the people live .Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago . It has been slow in developing , but its rich resour ces promise a better future in it .27．The majority of the Bolivian population are ______.A．full-blooded Indians B．mixed Indian and whiteC．white citizens D．all whites and mixed-blooded people28．The Indian’s way of life today is ______.A．quite different from that of their ancestors B．quite inter estingC．almost the same as their ancestors’ D．very exciting29．The eastern slopes of the Andes is not highly developed because ______ .A．there are thick forests there B．there are very few roa ds thereC．there are many fine mines there D．they are not fertile e nough30．Bolivia has been slow in developing , but it has hope for a better future because of its______.A．mining products B．rich resourcesC．independence from Spain D．two primary means of tr ansportationDMany people go to school for an education. They learn langua ges, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics.Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a liv ing. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is t o show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to re ad and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside s chool by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself th an to memorize some facts or a formula. It is usually quite eas y to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galil eo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so succe ssful. They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. T hey read books that were not taught at school. They worked h ard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would as k many questions as they readand they did thousands of experiments.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.31.

AWhen I was in my fourth year of teaching，I was also(and am still)a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student，John，who entered my class when he was a junior(三年级学生)John changed to our school from Greece，and seemed to be interested in athletics，so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before，I did believe that he could do well in any event，and l would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country．I went to him asking，“John，I really appreciate that you came out for the track team，but why didn‟t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more，since you‟re so good at it.”John answered，“Well，I like tennis，but you told me that you believed in me，and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my stu dent‟s reply．I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的)students can be of themselves．I've found that a simple “I trust that you can do it!” can go a long way!21. According to Paragraph l，the author seems to think more about John‟s.A. PE marksB. self-confidenceC. interest in sportsD. state of health22. Why did John take part in the track team?A. He had been an excellent runner．B. He was encouraged by his teacher．C. He liked running more than tennisD. He had no tennis coach to train him23. The purpose of this passage is probably .A. to build a close teacher-student relationshipB. to introduce a new way of sports trainingC. to explain the value of sports and gamesD. to show the importance of encouragement24. The passage is mainly written forA. teachersB. parentsC. studentsD. playersBWhat‟s black and white and read all over? Not newspapers, at least not anymore. In fact, if you‟re like most young people, you probably don't read the newspaper at all.In one recent survey, just 19 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds say they read a newspaper every day, while 37 percent watch local TV news and 44 percent visit Internet news sites daily. As people turn more and more to new technologies，they turn the pages of newspapers less and less.“There‟s a revolution (革命)in the way young people get news，”says media consultant Merrill Brown.Just a generation (一代人)or two ago，the newspaper was the main way that many people got their news. Now, nearly every home has at least one TV set. There‟s high-speed，wireless Internet both at home and in many public places.You no longer have to wait for a bundle of newsprint to arrive on your doorstep every morning. Thanks to new-technology, if you want to know what‟s going on in the world，you can get breaking news immediately in more ways than one.So newspapers face a very big challenge. Raised on MTV and video games，today‟s kids and young adults want flashy displays，special effects，quick information，and the chance to interact(互动)in real time，even when they‟re reading about serious problems.If newspapers can‟t fi nd creative ways to be more than just ink on paper, some experts suggest，they might disappear completely．Traditional newspaper articles are supposed to be read from beginning to end，lack of interaction. With Web pages，on the other hand，there‟s more fr eedom. You can look through the things you‟re interested in，then follow links to other sources. You can join discussion groups，read other people‟s opinions on a topic，or start a blog to express your own views.25. This passage is mainly aboutA. the disappearing newspaperB. different news sourcesC. the future of the InternetD. the new-technologies26. From the survey, we can see thatA. TV has become the major source of newsB. newspapers are no longer the major source of new-sC. more than half of the l 8-to-34-year-olds visit news sites dailyD. new-technologies have replaced the traditional one27. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT the disadvantage of newspapers?A. High priceB. Lack of changesC. Slow-speedD. Lack of interaction28. The author of the passage would probably think the future of newspapers isA. attractiveB. brightC. hopelessD. uncertainCIn fine department stores everywhere，you‟ll see the light-blue boxes of Estee Lauder．These popular cosmetics (化妆品)are sold in more than l30 countries Who‟s the woman behind this worldwide cosmetics empire (帝国)? Estee Lauder herself of course. This businesswoman became，for a time, the world‟s riche st self-made woman Her secret?“I didn‟t get there by dreaming about it,” she would say．“I got there by doing it” Estee was born in the early l900s in Queens，New-York Her father ran a hardware (五金器具) store，and from him Estee learned how to be a successful salesperson. Estee learned from her uncle John Schotz，too He made creams in a small laboratory behind the family‟s house Estee watched him Soon，she was experimenting with her own cosmetics She put lipstick (唇膏)and creams on any female relative who‟d let her, until her annoyed father told her to stop.She married Joseph H. Lauder in l930，and continued her experiments. She would cook dinner for the family, and at the same time，make her face creams. Then she began to sell her products in a Manhattan beauty shop.In l960，Estee began to sell her products in Europe After many tries she succeeded and began selling her products in some stores in London. But France proved even more difficult. The store Galleries Lafayette refused to sell her products. So Estee “by accident” dropped a bottle of youth dew(香水)on the floor in the cosmetics department. As the scent spread around the store，customers came over and asked to buy it. The store soon began selling Estee‟s products.Estee led her company until l982，when her son Leonard took over the business. Until her health worsened in the mid-1990s，she continued to attend the opening of a new store wherever in the world. She died on April 24，2004. Estee Lauder‟s talent as a saleswoman was extraordinary．Her son Leonard said，“There was never anyone who could sell like she could” All who worked for Estee appreciated her special talent.29. Which of the following can best describe Estee Lauder?A. A successful cosmetics saleswoman.B. A beautiful shop owner in LondonC. A popular cosmetics producer in France.D. A founder of a cosmetics company in America30. What was Estee Lauder‟s father‟s attitude towards her when she tried her products on her female relatives?A. He supported her and helped her．B. He didn‟t ca re about what she didC. He was very angry at her for what she didD. He was proud of what she did31. Estee managed to get her products known to the French customers by dropping a bottle of youth dew on the floor in the cosmetics department of a storeA. on purposeB. with the store‟s permissionC. by accidentD. carelessly32. The underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. Estee‟s productB. a customer‟s praiseC. a pleasant smellD. the broken pieces of glassDWhen the seventeenth-century settlers brought the English language to America, they immediately and necessarily began to adapt (使适应)it to their new environment. These changes were clear early and criticized by some people on both sides of the Atlantic. However, after the Revolution，Americans began to be proud of their own form of English. Noah Webster was the major early supporter of American meanings and spellings over British ones and published the earliest American dictionary, An American Dictionary of the English Language. During the years since Webster, language differences have continued to develop，proving(证明)the truth of George Bernard Shaw‟s often-repeated words that the two nations are “divided by a common language”.Like the American language，the earliest American literature(文学)copied English models However, after the Revolution and the War of l 8 12，writers began to create a clear American literature. However, in 1820，Sydney Smith asked the famous question “Who reads an Americanbook?”Answering to this and similar taunts (讽刺)with creative anger, American writers soon produced works that plenty of British people read. Works by Washington Irving，Walt Whitman，and Mark Twain had been acclaimed greatly in Britain by the end of the nineteenth century.Even as American writers got respect in Britain，British writers continued to have great influence in America Charles Dickens went to America twice, in 4842 and l4867-68. Other major British writers w-ho traveled and lived in the United States include D.H . Lawrence and Aldous Huxley．British best works continue to be widely read. The works of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen became popular films.At the turn of the twenty-first century, many books and writers continue to cross the Atlantic in both directions-made possible by the proud heritage (继承) of the shared language.33. The author of this passage seems to thinkA. British English is better than American EnglishB. American English is better than British EnglishC. the same language has divided the two nationsD. the same language has connected the two nations34. From the question asked by Sydney Smith，we can inferA. the British had to translate American books into English onesB. the British found American books difficult to understandC. the British thought highly of books written by AmericansD. the British looked down upon American books at first35. The underlined word “acclaimed”in Paragraph 3 probably means“”A. soldB. discussedC. welcomedD. refused第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

A.The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny. But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches.

Love , for a student, is always within our reach and as for friendship, personally, it’s most important. Nowadays, it is common to see friendship in colleges or middle schools. What is difficult is how to deal with personal contacts between different sexes. The key is to know how to tell love from friendship.The term, friend, covers a much wider range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confident (知己), a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. Without stars, the night sky won't be so beautiful; without friendship, our life won't be meaningful. With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. So, friendship may be a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust if possible, while love is the company you are always feeling like keeping. And friendship is when someone gazes into your eyes, you feel only care and calm while love is when someone gazes into your eyes, you will not keep calm.Love is not a word spoken out easily. In a way, love is selfish, while friendship is selfless and extensive. Love is not necessarily to be returned. But friendship needs something in exchange. You can't wish "let there be love in our hearts", for love needs enough time to sow, to water and to take good care of and also needs a rosy, calm, relaxed, emotional and private atmosphere. With such heavy feelings of high pressure and nervousness, do you think the schoolyard the proper field for us middle school students to sow our love?25. In the writer's opinion, ______.A. family relationship can be chosenB. love is more important than friendshipC. friendship is the most important for studentsD. social development is based on friendship26. What is the topic of the second paragraph?A. Friendship B．Love C. Family relationship D. Social relationship27. Why is it difficult for the students to deal with personal contacts between different sexes?A. Students can't tell love from friendship.B. Schools lack correct and strict control.C. Students lack great expectations.D. Students' learning load is too heavy.28. The writer of the passage is probably a____.A. parentB. studentC. teacherD. headmasterC.Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought(干旱) . The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.Tasmania Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended (延长) daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.29. Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania _____.A. to save water and electricityB. to support government officialsC. to pass a special law in the stateD. to stop the drought in 196730. According to the text, which state was the last to use DST?A. VictoriaB. QueenslandC. South AustraliaD. New South Wales31. What can we learn about DST in some Australian statesman?A. It lasts for two weeksB. It is not used in festivalsC. Its plan was changed in 2000D. It doesn’t have fixed datesD.When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especiallyas chi ldren. We can remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?The first explanation came from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said. "It's Lime to face the music." And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra(乐队) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "face the music" came to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice."32. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage'?A. When you have to face the music, it is probable that you have met something unpleasant.B. When actors have to face the music, it means they have to go on stage to perform, howeverchangeable the situation is.C. If you'd like to enjoy songs, you'll face the music.D. If a child does something against his parent's will, maybe he'll face the music.33. Why might an actor be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience?A. Because the audience might be unfriendly.B. Because he thought he might forget his lines.C. Because he was afraid that his performance might not be perfect.D. All the above.34. From the passage we know that the expression "face the music" was first used by ________.A. childrenB. a novelistC. actorsD. audience35. What's the main idea of this passage?A. Actors' behavior as they moved on to the stage.B. The meaning and the origin of the phrase "face the music .C. A personal idea expressed by an American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper.D. The feelings when we have to face the music.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AI climbed Kilimanjaro with Lava Expeditions (探险队) during the rainy season.I flew to Nairobi in Kenya and spent several days there. At my hotel in NairobiI met the rest of the group with whom I would spend the next week. We all travelledon the bus together for a 6-hour journey into Tanzania and then Arusha, a quiet town.After we arrived at our hotel in Arusha, we had dinner and a few drinks. Then wewere introduced to more members including Taddeus Minja, the main guide, who wasvery experienced — climbing Kilimanjaro runs through the generations (代) of his family.The next day the Lava Expeditions members c hecked if we had the correct and enough clothing for our expedition on Kilimanjaro. Only one person needed to bring moreclothes.After that we set off, walking in the rain through the beauty of the rainforest,all the way to the first camp. I was happy the next few days as the view was sowonderful and changed every day. I suffered a little during the trip and I felt sotired. But the members of Lava Expeditions provided me with lots of encouragement, which was one of the best memories. Finally we reached the top of Kilimanjaro inbright blue skies.I felt excited about climbing Kilimanjaro and the feeling didn’t change duringmy trip. Lava Expeditions looked after me so well that I was deeply thankful fortheir help.1. What do we know about Taddeus Minja according to the passage?A. He organized the journey.B. He was the leader of Lava Expeditions.C. He was the manager of a hotel in Arusha.D. He had much knowledge about climbing mountains.2. How did Lava Expeditions help the author while climbing Kilimanjaro?A. By carrying bags for him.B. By offering food to him.C. By encouraging him.D. By teaching him climbing skills.3. What did the author think of his climbing Kilimanjaro?A. Tiring and disappointing.B. Tiring but happy.C. Dangerous but exciting.D. Dangerous and tiring.4. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To tell readers about Lava Expeditions.B. To give readers advice on climbing Kilimanjaro.C. To encourage more people to climb Kilimanjaro.D. To share his experience of climbing Kilimanjaro.BOne of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to havefriends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?Listen —Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.Help them —If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they wantyou to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something theyneed.Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make themfeel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicestthings you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with meat my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!Make p lans —Try to make p lans with your friends. Go s hopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better bydoing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have agood time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!5. While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.A. give him or her some adviceB. just listen unless askedC. calm him or her downD. share your feelings as well6. When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.A. try to do everything for themB. put them before ourselvesC. change their bad habits firstD. ignore their faults7. What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?A. Life without a friend is death.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. A man is known by his friends.CWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a goodstudent, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all thisas long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears inmy eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked.“Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clearpicture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you，”he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you haveto learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When s omething said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is fullof people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all,but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a betterpiece of advice.8.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy”had said.B．He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C．He told her to write down all that her“enemy”had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.9.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.10.Why did her father listen to her quietly?A．Because he believed that what her daughter's“enemy”said was mostly true.B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter's shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D．Because he wasn't quite sure which girl was telling the truth.11.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A．Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB．The Best Advice I've Ever HadC．My FatherD．My ChildhoodDGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learnedas children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance togo swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length oftime we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycleriding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We c ontinue to listento and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We n ot only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule thatwe forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on theexamination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A．People remember well what they learned in childhood.B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D．Stories for children arc easy to remember.13.The author explains the law of overlearning by______.A．presenting research findingsB．selling down general rulesC．making a comparisonD．using examples14.What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Commonly accepted rules.B．The multiplication tables.C．Things easily forgotten.D．School subjects.15.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A．It leads to failure in college exams.B．It's helpful only in a limited way.C．It's possible to result in poor memory.D．It increases students' learning interest.第二节（共5小题；毎小题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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a great explosive sound.“I was driving to work. It was quite dark, but it suddenly became bright as if it were day，”said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart 30 km —50 km above ground according to Russia's Academy of Sciences.“The energy released when it entered the Earth's atmosphere was equal to a few kilotons，”the academy said, “the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.”No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to Urals Region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.56．The underlined word “smashed” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．broke B．melted C．swallowed D．cleared57．We can know from the passage that ________.A．Moscow is 1,500 kilometers away from the east of ChelyabinskB．many houses were destroyed, with lots of people reported missingC．Viktor Prokofiev became blind after seeing the rare spectacleD．the shock wave briefly influenced mobile phone networks58．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A．“Meteorite Rush” Be gins in RussiaB．President Putin Orders AssistanceC．Meteorite Hits Russia, 1,200 People HurtD．Meteorite Flies Quickly Across Russia(B)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨气)．” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.59．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Education experts. B．School teachers. C．Parents. D．Students.60．Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?A．Staying in contact with old friends.B．Expressing yourself when it is possible.C．Forming good habits at school.D．Keeping positive about your new school.61．According to the passage, an orientation program ________.A．helps local students in many ways B．is organized by new studentsC．offers help to new students D．focuses on all the students at school62．If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?A．What a new school is like.B．Why parents move with their children.C．How parents and the school can help the children.D．How children can express their anxiety.(C)When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as it's the most precious thing in the world.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,_make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: We don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observingusually ... then you construct a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.63．According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.64．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to drawC．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write65．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．most of us can really grow from successB．growing and improving are based on mistakesC．we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD．we read about something and know how to do it right away66．The author wants to tell us ________.A．what you should do when meeting with difficultiesB．where you can find your mistakesC．how you can avoid making mistakesD．why you should celebrate your mistakes(D)A young, buried woolly mammoth (猛犸象) has been discovered in Siberia near the Arctic Ocean. Nicknamed “Yuka”, the mammoth has been described by discoverers as being “remarkably well preserved (保存)” though being cut open by ancient people.Yuka was discovered in Siberia during an expedition funded in part by the BBC and the Discovery Channel and is believed to be at least 10,000 years old. The discoverers believe this finding could possibly provide evidence of early human activities in the Siberian region. Thanks to the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia, in fact, much of the meat is still undamaged, having a pink color. Light blond hair covers the mammoth. Daniel Fisher, director of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology told Discovery News, “This is the first relatively complete mammoth body — that is, a body with soft tissues (软组织) preserved — to show evidence of human activities.”Working with an international team of experts, Fisher will help analyze Yuka and get genetic (基因的) samples from the body. The team used carbon dating (碳年代测定法) on Yuka. They believe the mammoth to have died at least 10,000 years ago and have been about 2.5 to 4 years old when it died.Judging from the wounds found on the mammoth and other cuts, the team believes Yuka may have been harmed by lions before humans came along to finish the job.“It appears that Yuka was chased by one or more lions, judging from the deep, unhealed scratches (抓痕) in the hide and bite marks on the tail,” Fisher said. “Yuka then apparently fell, breaking one of the lower back-legs. At this point, humans may have moved in to control the body, cutting up much of the animal and removing parts that they would use immediately. They may, in fact, have reburied the rest of the body to keep it in reserve for possible later use. What remains now would then be ‘leftovers’ that they never retrieved.”While most of organs (器官) inside Yuka’s body are missing, such as ribs, ver tebrae, and some meat, the lower parts of each leg, the trunk remain incredibly well preserved.French mammoth hunter Bernard Beigues is also part of the international team, and suggests the humans may have been after Yuka’s fat and large bones. He believe s the bones may have been used in religious ceremonies and therefore were kept close to the body.Such discoveries will enable scientists to study the genetics of these animals. For example, the discovery of Yuka has confirmed an earlier assumption (假设) about mammoths’ hair color. The red hair found all over Yuka proves this theory and provides information about the genetic codes of the mammoth as it relates to hair and eye color. With such a wealth of genetic material to investigate, scientists suggest cloning is possible. Tim Walker, a director and producer for the Discovery Channel told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth could take years, even decades. Yuka will be a part of a new documentary produced by the BBC and the Discovery Channel called “Mammoth”.67. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Yuka’s body remains in excellent condition.B. Yuka’s soft tissues prove ancient human activities.C. Woolly mammoths were enemies of ancient humans.D. Yuka died from the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia.68. The research team has figured out Yuka’s age by ______.A. genetic samplesB. carbon datingC. wounds of the tailD. the light blond hair69. What does the underlined wo rd “retrieved” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.A. worked outB. given upC. got backD. asked for70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Cloning of Yuka the MammothB. A Well-preserved Mammoth BodyC. Ancient Human Activities in SiberiaD. The Missing Parts of the Mammoth Body第二卷(共35分)第一节:任务型阅读 ((共10题，每小题0.5分，满分10分)Passion has somehow become a funny thing. At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.You have to be extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day? It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does. Absolutely right? Not really. Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.It has to be acceptable in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.It will make you money. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full-time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say, sitting in front of the TV eating chips? Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.Passion is simply you. It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness. With a little effort, you can easily findone. And it's something you'll never forget in life.第二节、单词拼写(共10题，每小题0.5分，满分5分)根据所给的中文提示或首字母，写出相应的单词81.

学校________________ 班级_____________________ 姓名___________________ 考试号___________________-----------------------------------------密-----------------------------------------封-----------------------------------------线--------------------2015-2016学年上学期12月考试卷高一英语第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)ALast Friday a storm swept through two villages in th e New Territories ，destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them ，and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed ，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital ，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer ，Mr. Tan ，said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.“I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him ，safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything ，”she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.”Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare d epartment （福利机构） brought them food ，clothes and shelter. 21. How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm ？A. FourteenB. Twenty-oneC. Twenty-nineD. Thirty-six22. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began ？A. He was in bed.B. He was inside the house.C. He was outside the house.D. He was on the roof.23. The u nderlined word “shelter” in this passage means ______.A. something to eatB. something to wearC. somewhere to studyD. somewhere to stay24. Which of he following may be the best title for this passage？A. A Terrible StormB. A Lucky WomanC. Good SoldiersD. Clever PeopleBWaste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They sa y they can afford these things. But I don‘t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources，we are short of others， for example， fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life， we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example， turn off the water taps when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order mor e food than we need， and so on. Little by little， everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day， if we do our best.25. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.A. eat too muchB. don‘t work hardC. waste thingsD. throw rubbish everywhere26. What may happen in 100 years？A.

We’d better listen, speak, read and write more. You can go to English corner, talk with foreigners or talk with your friends. If you have time, listen to the radio or English program. Listening to this go od material can help you improve your listening and understanding. And then, you can read English books, newspapers or novels. They are wonderful.

高一英语月考试题及答案-北京大学附属中学分校2015-2016学年高一上学期第一次月考
北大附中河南分校2015-2016学年第一学期高一月考英语试题（满分120，时间100分钟）第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力理解（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节20小题，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAs the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.21. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.A. became the best student in his classB. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessonsD. improved his grades greatly22. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?A. She regarded the students as members of a family.B. She had special ways to help students study.C. She was good at teaching football and music.D. She usually made a quick reply to parents’ emails.23. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th gradeB. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolC. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenD. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green24. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. what his son studied at schoolB. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacherD. a teacher who liked playing with studentsBMy husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.Holding my daughter, I turned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I s poke before he had a n opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentlemanhad ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.25. From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.A. waiterB. actorC. beggarD. worker26. The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.A. the man was not friendlyB. the man had stolen something from the restaurantC. he had fired the man beforeD. he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food27. From the passage, we can infer the man _____.A. was thankful for their kind actB. felt ashamed and slipped awayC. was hungry and ate a lot of foodD. was too proud to accept their offer28. The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. wasted my moneyB. made me very happyC. made me feel sorryD. moved me deeplyCIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours theyhave worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?29. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying30. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.32. The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are worthy of trustDWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the s ame kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about life --- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What’s real meaning of intelligenceB. What’s the “bright” children’s behaviorC. What’s a special outlook on lifeD. How to live and behave in a new situation 349. In the author’s opinion the biggest difference between “bright” children and “not bright” children lies in ____________.A. the amount of intelligenceB. the different situations they faceC. the different attitudes to lifeD. the background of life35. What might the author continue to talk about in the passage that follows?A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how an unintelligent person should be taughtC. how to judge whether a person is intelligentD. how education should be changed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

You may not believe that such a town has shops car parks, hotels, restaurants, cafes and much more. Well, Coober Pedy in Australia is just such a place.Miners and their families choose to live like this, hoping to get rich looking for the precious stones that Australia is famous for --- opals(蛋白石). Living underground is the only way to be away from the sandstorms and the high temperatures above ground. Deep down in the town far below the desert surface, the temperature is between 19℃ and 20℃ and life is cool.Mary Deane and her husband Jim are among the lucky ones. They live in a home, built with money from the opals Jim has found. “Whenever people hear we live underground, they always imagine a dusty cave,” says Mary, “but they are a mazed at my clean kitchen, our furniture and electrical appliances in here.”However, not everything is perfect in Coober Pedy. Mary has a tiny garden that she is very proud of, but the grass is not real. Plant life is rare. Water is five times more expensive underground than it is overground. Recycling is a way of life, so Jim usually washes his car with bath water and they have a special system to reuse the water from the dishwasher and washing machine.Even so, most families enjoy life in Coober Pedy. The children can make as much noise as they want and there are no complaints from the neighbors because the thick walls stop sounds from traveling. Adults enjoy the peace and quiet away from the world above.21. People in Coober Pedy live underground______.A. because of their secret identitiesB. because it is warmer undergroundC. so that they can save some moneyD. due to the terrible natural environment.22.

Five hundred years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce arrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the first European to set foot in what would become the United States.According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mistake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain(喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again. Instead, Ponce landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”.Ponce explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to set up a colony. However, native Americans attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn’t until 1565 that Spain set up a su ccessful colony at St. Augustine on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest European settlement in the U.S.Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19 millionpeople call it home.It’s also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visited the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in search of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks, such as Disney World and Sea World.28. Five hundred years ago,_____.A.the United States was foundedB.the first European came to FloridaC.Florida was discovered by human beingsD.Spanish explorer Juan Ponce was born29. What can we learn about Ponce from Paragraph 2?A.He hated FloridaB.He discovered Florida by accidentC.He finally found Fountain of YouthD.He could make old people young again.30. Ponce was killed_____.A.by his friendsB. on his way to FloridaC.during his second stay in FloridaD. after he set up a colony31. Which of the following is TRUE about Florida?A.Tourists are losing interest in it.B.Its beaches are not well protected.C.There are 89 million people in Florida at present.D.Its population has been increasing in recent years.DFor most kids, height isn’t something they can change, so what do you do if you don’t like how tall or short you are? It might be girls feeling too tall and boys feeling too short but some really tall boys might not like all that height and some shorter girls might get tired of all the jokes or of feeling like they’re staying little while their friends are growing up.If you are still worried about your height, talk to your parents and your doctor. Most kids don’t have a growth problem that needs help from a doctor, but it’s always OK to ask if you’re concerned.So for most kids, it seems like there’s not much to do but wait to see how it all turns out. But you can do something right now: eat healthy and take care of yourself. If you get the nutrition(营养), sleep, and exercise you need, you’re likely to reach your maximum height. In other words, you’ll grow as tall as you were meant to grow.And even though you may hear people say it, taking extra vitamins or supplements(补品) that you can buy in a store won’t help you get taller. Just stick to a healthy diet if you want to be the tallest you can be!Kids who wish they weren’t so tall should still eat healthy and take care of themselves, of course. Eating less wo n’t make you end up any shorter unless you really starved yourself and made yourself sick.As they get older, most kids learn to feel comfortable with their height, whether they turn out tall, short, or somewhere in between.32. What is this text mainly about?A. Some tips on how to grow taller.B. Some advice on height worries.C. Some problems kids are facing.D. Some factors that affect height.33. If you want to grow taller, you are advised to do the following except _____.A. get enough sleepB. take some exerciseC. take extra vitaminsD. get enough nutrition34. We’ll feel comfortable with our height _____.A. after we tell the parentsB. after we see the doctorC. when we grow tallerD. when we get older35. Who does this text written for?A. Kids.B. Parents.C. Doctors.D. Teachers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。
