2019学年度第一学期期中考试高三年级英语试题第一部分：听力（见第 11页）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，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ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳。
AFive of the most beautiful villagesSidi Bou Said in TunisiaThis village seems to disappear into the sky. All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries.Wengen in SwitzerlandDo you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in JapanThis village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore.Eze in FranceFrance in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse. Bibury in EnglandLocated on the River Coln in the West of England, Bibury was described as "the most beautiful village in England”.Honey-colored 17th-century stone cottages, the Church of St.Mary and a still-working 1902 farm are some of the ancient village’s must-sees. The most photographed spot is Arlington Row, whichis a collection of 14th-century stone buildings.21.Where can visitors enjoy paintings?A.In Sidi Bou Said.B.In Shirakawa-go.C.In Wengen.D.In Eze.22. What's the similarity between Wengen and Bibury?A. They both sit by a long river.B. They both have an ancient view.C. They are home to many inventions.D. They are located in the same country.23. What do we know about Eze?A. Its people look sad.B. It forbids cars to enter.C. Its architecture is modern.D. It was attacked in the past.BIt is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to explain about his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not about books and tests and rote memorization(死记硬背),but something practical. As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a desk. They can also learn geometry by putting together a bicycle.But he's also found a kind of prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority(低等).Schools in the family of vocational(职业的) education “have that opinion...that it's for kids who can't make it academically,” he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing(制造业)is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely disappeared. More education is the new way. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all—and the devaluing of anything less—misses an important point: That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opensmore doors.But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing, according to the National Skills Coalition. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren't equipped to do them. Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology (High School) is trying to fill that gap.Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlookinga nation's diversity of gifts.24. What's the characteristic of Mr. Koziatek’s school?A. Paying attention to practical learning.B. Letting students do many tests.C. Encouraging students to read books.D. Forcing students to learn by rote.25. What does the underlined phrase "that viewpoint” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Vocational education is for academically challenged students.B. Vocational education is undoubtedly a good choice.C. Not all students can be admitted to college.D. Not all students can do physical work.26. How are people reacting to the disappearance of manufacturing?A. They lower their expectations.B. They try to improve their skills.C. They turn to the government.D. They continue their education.27. What does the author think of the school's goal?A. It needs lots of effort.B. It is worth achieving.C. It is unpractical.D. It is adventurous.CWhen I was eleven, my parents gave me the first book I ever owned—“The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe”.I distinctly remember opening it, reading the first lines of "The Cask of Amontillado,” and remarkingto myself, "So this is what reading is!”My delight was unbounded. Little did I know at the time that I was at the beginning of a lifelong journey.So, if I read my first real book at the advanced age of 11, what was I reading before then? In a word, readers: relatively plotless, repetitive if well-intentioned attempts to teach children to recognize letters and their sounds and to build their vocabularies. Being a dutiful boy, I went through the motions and I learned what words were. But I had no idea what writing was. Until Poe. In Poe's stories, the sentences were more complex and stylish than anything I had ever read before.Poe, in short, was a start. My parents gave me that first book, but then I went off on my own. I liked science, which led me to discover Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. Other writers followed quickly one after another: Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke. But I didn't limit myself to science fiction. Other titles that deeply impressed me early on, and which I have carried on my life's journey, include: “The Yearling,"“Shane”“Ivanhoe,"“Of Mice and Men," "To Kill a Mocking bird," and “The Good Earth”.It went on from there. I became that kid who, long after his parents told him to turn the lights off, hid under the covers with a flashlight and a book, his greatest fear of being discovered and having his flashlight taken away. I realize that my parents must have known I was defying (违背) them. But in their wisdom they pretended to be ignorant of it. And so I owe my start as a reader to my parents.28. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. The author's good memories.B. The author's childhood before 11.C. The author's parents' reading habits.D. The author's affection for his first book.29. What was the influence of plotless reading on the author?A.He didn't accumulate enough vocabularies.B. He didn't know what real writing was.C. He couldn't read complex sentences.D. He couldn't write a good article.30. What is the attitude of the author's parents to his reading under the covers?A.Indifferent.B. Tolerant.C. Anxious.D. Objective.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How I wrote a good bookB. How I found my favorite booksC. How I learned from my parentsD. How I became a reader of booksDAt one recently-opened restaurant in Japan, diners are warned that they very well might not get what they ordered—but surprisingly, it seems few customers are complaining.That's because waiters at the restaurant, which is called“The Restaurant of Order Mistakes, all have dementia and Alzheimer's(痴呆和阿尔茨海默症). The founders of the unique dining spot hope that eating there will help change opinions about dementia and teach customers to be more patient with those who suffer from it.Yahoo! Japan first reported that the restaurant opened in Tokyo's Toyosu district on June 2 and closed after June 4, but will re-open around World Alzheimer's Day in September. The restaurant’s name is a twist on the title of a 1924 story by Kenji Miyazawa called The Restaurant of Many Orders.The restaurant idea was originally thought of by a few like-minded people, including the owners of Maggie's Tokyo. The founders hope to spread a message about inclusivity(包容), and teach people to be more understanding toward elders with dementia. The restaurant also serves to point out that dementia and Alzheimer's sufferers can still be functioning members of society. It's also a fun way to celebrate human mistakes.It doesn't all run smoothly, though. The restaurant readily warns that waiters may bring customers the wrong order. They also may forget to bring drinks or other items.Mizuho Kudo, a Japanese food editor, tweeted(发推特) about her stop at the restaurant. She ordered a hamburger steak but was given gyoza dumplings instead, but everything turned out to be unexpectedly delicious and she said she "laughed a lot” during the meal. She also noted that the waiter were full of smiles and seemed to be having a lot of fun, laughing and excitedly attending to their customers with delicious food. Her tweet about the experience has been liked over 160,000 times, and many commenters seemed impressed by the idea.32. In what way is the restaurant special?A. Its waiters all suffer from a brain disease.B. It only provides traditional foods.C. Its service is the best in Japan.D. It opens only in September.33. What’s one purpose of the restaurant?A. To show dementia sufferers can still contribute to society.B. To raise money for people suffering from mental illness.C. To educate the young to understand the elders.D. To show people a new type of restaurant.34. What did Mizuho Kudo do after having a meal in the restaurant?A. She brought her friends to the restaurant.B. She opened a similar restaurant.C. She volunteered to work in the restaurant.D. She shared her experience with others.35. How did Mizuho Kudo feel about her experience in the restaurant?A．Surprising. B. Unusual.C．Pleasant. D. Necessary.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。

2019届高三英语上学期期中试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分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。
AHave you heard of the following people? Maybe yes, maybe n o. But they may be an inspiration for you.The Tree LadyKate Sessions was an American botanist and landscape archi tect closely associated with , . After becoming the first woman to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, she to ok a job as a teacher far south in the dry desert town of . Kate decided that needed trees more than anything else. Therefor e, this young woman single-handedly started a movement transforming the town into the l eafy, garden-filled place as it is today.The Snowflake(雪花) ManWilson Bentley is one of the first known photographers of sno wflakes. His enthusiasm for taking photos began from his boyhood and was often misunderstood in his time, but his determi nation revealed two important truths: no two snowflakes are al ike; and each is surprisingly beautiful. In 1931, he worked with William J.Humphreys of the U.S. Weather Bureau to publish Snow Crystals, a book containing 2500 photographs.The Father of His CountryBy the late 1760s, George Washington had experienced firsth and the effects of rising taxes imposed (征收) on American colonists by the British, and came to believe that it was in the best interests of the colonists to declare inde pendence from England. During the American War of Indepen dence, he led the colonial forces to victory. In 1878, he was el ected president of the Convention that wrote the U.S. Constitu tion. Two years later, became American’s first president. His retirement from office after two terms established a tradition th at lasted until 1940, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt won a th ird term. The 22nd Amendment (1951) now limits the presiden t to two elected terms.21 Who made a great contribution to beautifying an area?A George Washington.B Wilson BentleyC Kate SessionsD William J. Humphreys22 What is Wilson Bentley famous for?A His creative ideas to publish books.B His persistence in photographing snowflakesC His courage to fight against prejudiceD His devotion to teaching kids scientific truths.23 What does the author say about George Washington?A He was a national hero.B He was born into a poor family.C He became ’s president in 1787.D He served thre e terms as the President of America.BI’v worked part time since taking early retirement ten years ag o. I was inspired by an older friend. We worked for the same c ompany, and he retired two years before I was also considere d “spare”, as some companies call it.Soon after I left work, we had lunch together. First, he assure d me that there was life after work. Then he related his own e xperience. He didn’t want to take another full-time job, so he turned his daughter’s old bedroom into a home office. He arranged for some consulting work from our old co mpany, and he picked up more projects from other contacts. Soon he was working 20 to 30 hours a week. He wasn’t making as much money. His kids were grown-up, so he didn’t need as much income. “As soon as I left that j ob,” he told me, “my back problems went away. I started to ea t better and get more exercise, I make half as much money, b ut I feel twice as good, and I’m twice as happy.”I decided to follow a similar track. At the time, my younger chil d almost finished college, so my parental responsibilities were winding down. We sold our old house and moved into a town house. I went to work for myself. And the result? Today I, too, make less money. But we make ends meet. And I feel twice a s good and twice as happy.Our experience isn’t for everybody. But a lot of people have re tired early and lived to tell the tale, which proves it possible. J ack, another friend, was a salesman for a communication firm. He ha d a long distance to work and did a lot of traveling. He decide d to leave the corporate world, in part because he had health problems and he wanted to spend more time with his family. L ater, he quit his job with flexible hours and was restored to his health. And now he has found a part-time job, and he, together with his family, is leading a more rel axing life.24 How did the author and his friends feel about their retired liA It’s busy but wealthy.B It’s flexible but tiring.C It’s healthy and happyD It’s relaxing and wasteful.25 What did the writer’s friend try to tell him at lunch that day?A He regretted not leaving his job earlier.B He lived a much better life after retiringC He made more money after finding a new job.D His life was not easy for him after losing his job.26 Before Jack left his last job, he ______.A lived a busy lifeB used to find part-time jobsC often traveled with his familyD worked hard as a real travel agent27 What does the author mainly confirm by writing the text?A Health is more important than workB Young people generally live an exhausting life.C More retired people are paying attention to health.D It may be a good choice for people who retire early to do a part-time job.Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. Your friends’ lives may loo k more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagra m, but a new research shows it is because they are faking(伪造) it.A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous. And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged thei r peers based on what they saw on their Instagrm, Snapehat or Facebook pages.The British survey, by smart phone maker HTC, found that, in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting, six percent also said they had borrowed items to include in the images in order to pass them off as their own. More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and plac es purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and fa mily.Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurp rising due to the rise of social media. “We’re living in a world i nstant communication.” she said. “Fashion and style used to li ve and die in magazines; now people are in search of authentic, peer-to-peer recommendations as well, making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspaper.”“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know w hat our friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have got the m.” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram, 76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on social infl uences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style a dvice and buy what they see.28 How do some people make their lives appear more excitin g?A By buying pictures.B By posting images.C By making up stories.D By risking their lives.29 What does the underlined word “jealousy” in Paragraph 3 mean?A Adventure.B ConflictC EnvyD Misunderstanding30 What can we learn from Hemmings?A The trend reflects the development of social media.B Fashion and style no longer exist in magazines.C Magazines and newspapers are less important.D The trend is beyond people’s expectation.31 Which of the following best describes social media like Inst agram?A PositiveB CreativeC PersuasiveD HonestDCrown shyness(树冠羞避) is a mysterious natural phenomenon in which the crowns of some tree species do not touch each other, but getseparated by a gap clearly visible from ground level. The effe ct usually occurs between trees of the same species, but has also been observed between trees of different species.There are many theories going around, most of which make s ense, but no one has been able to prove without the shadow of a doubt why some trees avoid touching each other.In his 1955 book Growth Habits of the Eucalypts, Australian fo rester M.R. Jacobs writes that the growing tips of the trees ar e sensitive to abrasion(擦伤), which results in crown shyness phenomenon. This theory was also supported by Dr. Miguel Franco. Some experimentshave shown that if trees displaying crown shyness are artifici ally prevented from swinging in the wind and touching each ot her, they gradually fill up the gaps between them.But while the above theory is arguably the most widespread, it ’s certainly not the only one. Some scientists have suggested that crown shyness is a mechanism to stop the spreading of l eaf-eating insects. These pests have been known to work togethe r and create structures that extend up to 10 cm off of tree bra nches in order to reach other plants, so the gaps are the trees ’ natural defense method.One Malaysian scholar studied many trees, but found no trac es of abrasions, despite their clear crown shyness. Instead, h e suggests that the growing tips of the trees were sensitive to light levels and stopped growing when they got too close to other trees . Plants are ableto sense how close they are to other plants and in order to g et more light, they give off some chemical element to stop oth er trees from growing too close.Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure: plants are more int elligent than people used to think.32 What can we know about crown shyness?A It can cause abrasion between trees.B It only happens between the same species.C It has been discovered for only half a century.D No agreement has been reached about its real cause.33 What will happen if trees showing crown shyness are stop ped from swinging?A The trees will stop growing and even die.B The gaps between the trees will grow wider.C The crown shyness phenomenon will disappear.D The gaps between the trees will remain the same.34 What’s tree’s reaction when attacked by pests according to the text?A Swinging less in the windB Leaving space between their crownsC Spreading their branches and leavesD Stopping growing for a period of time35 Which statement might the Malaysian scholar agree with?A Trees have special ways to attack others.B Some insects stop trees growing too close.C Trees compete with their neighbors for light.D Trees won’t touch each other to avoid diseases.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It is not only afinancial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. Iwould like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for theirretired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be setaside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibilityfor its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higheremployee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return theresponsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during hisworking years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a veryfair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily lifewithout trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means thegovernment might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for thecare of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes toincrease the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should becreated for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life forthem. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is nota truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for theelderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or socialorganizations establish some working places especially for the elderly wherethey are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages anddisadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination ofthese options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderlygenerations.（1）What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?A . To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.B . To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.C . To point out the need for government support for old people.D . To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.（2）What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A . Impossible.B . Practical.C . Useful.D . Successful.（3）According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?A . Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.B . Increase savings levels of people during their working years.C . Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.D . Make available pensions for those who have retired.（4）What can be concluded from the passage?A . Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.B . Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.C . There is no single solution to the problems of the old.D . Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.3. 阅读理解One of India’s top engineering schools has restrictedInternet acce ss in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming andblogging was affecting students’ performance, making them lonely and evensuicidal.Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morningclasses or slept through them. “Now, a student doesn’t even know who livestwo doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” saidPrakash Gopalan, dean of Student Affairs. “The old dormitory culture ofcompanionship an d socializing among students is gone.

But the move has not gone down well with studentswho say they hate their lives being regulat ed. “Now they will say we needto listen to a lullaby to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.（1）What may happen to the students addicted to the Internet in IIT-Mumbai?A .

Such a move could cost up to$18bn, a heavyeconomic burden to the city.This species, more than a metre in length, was originallyintroduced to southern US states three decades ago to control weeds in sewage treatment plants. But they escapedinto the Mississippi River and increased in numberquickly, making their waynorth towards the Great Lakes and threatening the native fish species along theway.“Dozens of them will often leap out of the water asboats approach.” Michael Beecham, a local environmental expert, describedhow frightening the scene was. “I’ve gone down the river and seen thesefis h jump up and hit me in the face. It is a big problem for our nativespecies.” he said.A meeting has been organized to find a technologicalsolution to the carp problem, one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’scanal system. Listening at the meeting was John Goss, who was worried about theeffect that having barriers in the canal system would have on industry. “Itwould certainly increase the cost of transportation,” he told. “It iscurrently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods downthe Chicago ship canal.’’Another cheaper option is to eat the fish out of existence.Dirk Fucik is selling carp burger at his fish shop not far fromdowntown Chicago. He thinks the carps are a great resource. “To catch itand throw it away is a waste,” he says. “Eating them helps solve theproblem and also provides jobs.” But the idea has not yet caught on. Sofar, he is the only person in Chicago selling carp burgers.（1）What can we learn about the Asian carp according to the passage?A . It is very adaptable to the new environment.B . It is originally used to control weeds in the Great Lakes.C . It has become a new food in many restaurants.D . It has caused parts of Ch icago’s canal system to be blocked.（2）From John Goss’s point of view, the building of barriers ______________.A . can force the Asian carp out of the Great LakesB . may lead to the increasing cost of industrial productsC . will help the canal system work more efficientlyD . will bring high profits to the related companies（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the passage?A . The Americans have included the Asian carp in their food list.B . Catching Asian carps has created many jobs in America.C . Dirk Fucik is a pioneer in selling carp burgers in Chicago.D . Throwing away the caught fish is a waste of the resources.（4）What’s the best title of the passage?A . Chicago goes to war with Asian carpsB . The Asian carp escapes from the Great LakesC .

With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting atnight at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both actingand San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt verysmall and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possiblerobbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless peopleunder blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. Iturned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The streetwas empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlockedthe door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling tothe sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the doorand back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiouslyfor fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbagetruck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “AlisaCamacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The dooropened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Isthis what you’re looking for?” he asked, holdingup a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’tget much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back someenjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as longas people were willing to help each other.（1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A . Cold and sickB . Lucky and hopefulC . Satisfied and cheerfulD . Disappointed and helpless（2）From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_____.A . solving her problem at the bankB . taking part in various city activitiesC . learning acting in an evening schoolD . preparing for the first night show （3）On her way home the writer_____.A . lost her wallet unknowinglyB . was stopped by a garbage truck driverC . was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knifeD . found some homeless people following her（4）From the text, we can infer that the writer_____.A . would stop working at nightB . would stay on in San FranciscoC . would make friends with the manD . would give up her job at the bank3. 阅读理解There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generationplants the trees; anoth er gets the shade,” and this is how it should be withmothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimesconfusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship.However, themother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish itfrom a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy of responsibility and unconditional love,which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time wi th mymom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for yourwedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gaveyou life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been aliveat le ast 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughterrelationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many findthem to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters hasa lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothersand daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsiblefor maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporarymothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology,which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, butfor better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even iffor some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationshipis closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should notfeel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t thatthey don’tcare deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened withtheir mother’s well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that isnot replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequentlywanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.Mother always “trumps” friend.（1）The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.A . differB . preventC . benefitD . change（2）What do we know from the passage?A . The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B . A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C . The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D . Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.（3）The author proves his statements mainly by _________.A . listing dataB . giving explanationsC . quoting sayingsD . making examples（4）What is the best title for the passage?A . How to be a good mother and daughter?B . Who is a mother’s best friend?C . Mother or friend?D . Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?4. 阅读理解Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do thetrick,but the biggest longevity boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying thantheir married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as muchas seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causesof death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you , marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the Universityof Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to livenearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, amarried man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as l ong as a divorcedman who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are morelikely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death,and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the samesevere problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kindsof social networks have similar effects.So how does it work?

St. Lucia offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. To take in the breathtaking scenery, plan to hike the Piton Mountains or dive in the waters of Anse Chastanet.Banff. AlbertaThis Canadian destination will bring out the explorer in anyone who visits. From hiking and whitewater rafting to skiing and snowboarding, Banff offers travelers an abundance of year-round outdoor activities. The Lake Louise Ski Resort is one of the largest in North America and the striking photo opportunities of the Canadian Rockies from Moraine Lake can’t be underestimated (低估).Machu PicchuAccording to travelers, a visit to this Peruvian UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Located in the Andes Mountains, it is the most familiar icon(象征物) of Inca civilization. Spend a few days accustoming yourself to the altitude in the neighboring city of Cusco, where you can experience a mix of Incan and Spanish cultures.Great Barrier ReefIt’s easy to see why the Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World –it stretches nearly 1,500 miles along the eastern coastline of Australia and features about 3,000 reefs, 900 islands and more than 1,500 species of fish. Travelers can see these amazing natural structures from the air or underwater. However, large amounts of coral bleaching (褪色) caused by rising ocean temperatures put this place’s continued existence at risk, so plan your visit soon to see this awesome sight up close.21. What can you enjoy both in St. Lucia and Banff?A. Hiking.B. Skiing.C. Diving.D. Snowboarding.22. Where may a historian choose to go?A. St. Lucia.B. Banff. Alberta.C. Machu Picchu.D.

It may disappear if temperature keeps on rising.BWhen my sister Mertie told me she had put out tomato plants last summer, I was quite impressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs（害虫）, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated(upset), Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and thenasked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well there’s your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 days…you just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys.”With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait.Thinking about my sister’s gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didn’t know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer--neither did I--but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later.It makes me wonder how many of us have “Big Boy”dreams in our hearts, yet we just don’t realize that they are of the “Big Boy” variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from coming to pass. Frustrated, we see other people’s dreams coming true, and we wonder why ours haven’t yet been achieved.24. To better grow tomato plants,what did Mertie do?A. Using little fertilizer.B. Keeping them well close.C. Watering them daily.D. Controlling pests on them.25. Why did Mertie’s tomato plants fail to produce at the expected time?A. Because they were destroyed by her neighbors.B. Because she grew the wrong kind of tomatoes.C. Because she didn’t manage the garden well.D. Because they required more time to produce.26. What does the author compare tomatoes to in the text?A. Goals.B. Experiences.C. Time.D. Imagination.27. What does the text intend to show us?A. It’s better late than never.B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.C. Success sometimes needs a little patience.D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.C“Hey, little boy, will you support me when I’m getting old?” Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he hugged him at home.The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. The Information Office of the State Council, China’s cabinet, issued（发行） a white paper on measures China has been taking to help its elderly population. The paper said China’s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.“I used to think that it’s not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Wang’s father suffered from a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.After his father recovered, Wang opened a bank account for each parent and put away some money in the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties. In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son’s future education. “I’m now breaking my back to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son’s education funds, and livingcosts.”Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself. “We have to take precautions（预防） before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view,”he said.28. Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?A. Social problems.B. Unemployment.C. More pressure on each family.D. The problem of the pension system.29. From the passage, we can infer ________.A. the aging problem is one of the concerns of the Chinese governmentB. China will encourage young couples to have more than one childC. many people have realized the aging problemD. children will not support their parents in China30. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word “inevitably”?A. Surprisingly.B. Certainly.C. Hopefully.D. Evidently.31. From the passage, we can see that ________.A. China is the only country to face an aging societyB. most of the developing countries face an aging societyC. countries with a large population face an aging societyD. more and more developed countries face an aging societyDHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs(拇指) up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry—psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路) in the teens’ brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social”and “visual”parts of their brains were active when they received “likes”on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention”by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated”might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous, or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem（自尊）but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes”is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves—a hard, but a worthy one.32. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The thumbs up from complete strangers don’t work.B. Desire for attention can definitely create anxiety.C. Feeling ignored might lead you to be in need of attention.D. The brain of teenagers is seldom sensitive.33. What’s the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?A. The social and visual parts become more nervous.B. The social and visual parts of the brain are active.C. The physical and sense parts of the brain become less sensitive.D. The whole brain becomes cleverer.34. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?A. The one who is the only child.B. The old who lives happily with children.C. The young who feels anxious.D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.35. What’s Crocker’s suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?A. Doing an interesting matter.B. Working harder than ever before.C. Having a bigger goal than their self.D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day.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。
