It was only when visiting the classrooms of universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among ‘the atmosphere of learning’.After school Pep had intended to study biology but was called on to help run the family business instead. When he was at school, he developed a reputation for helping others and so was invited onto the local radio, where the presenter said. “You’re like a young psychologist(心理学家).”Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill(锯木厂). But when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to change the mill into the town’s first supermarket.One day in the shop, the radio presenter’s comment came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to a university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.“I had to get used to being much older than the other students.” he says. “But I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience.” Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors(导师)so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching. Now 52, and still in the job. He adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.”The traditional view used to be that, while making changes in your youth wasacceptable, you should then settle on a career and stick to it. But today record numbers of 50-and 60-somethings are choosing to take on new challenges. Job satisfaction becomes increasingly significant when you’ve only got a few miles on the clock.4．Why did Pep determine to return to school at the age of 46?A．He was eager to help others.B．He was tired of staying at the same job for so long.C．He decided to earn a degree and make more money.D．Accompanying his daughters to universities inspired him to learn.5．What caused Pep to quit his dream of further studying?A．Failing to achieve excellent academic results.B．Getting bored with the atmosphere of learning.C．The desire to try his hand at the commercial market.D．The request of taking over the family business from home.6．How does Pep feel about his present situation?A．Dissatisfied. B．Appreciative. C．Doubtful. D．Confused. 7．What does the text intend to convey?A．Great hopes make great man. B．A brave attempt is half success. C．Do what you say, say what you do! D．It’s never too late to fulfill your dream.As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his postures, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as yourappearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive（防卫的）signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eve contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.8．The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers .A．what a good first impression isB．how to make a good first impressionC．how long it takes to make a first impressionD．the importance of making a good first impression9．Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed?A．Cross your arms or legs.B．Open your coat or jacket when sitting down.C．Go into the room more slowly than usual.D．Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly.10．If you lean forward too much, it means .A．you are very thrilled B．you are really comfortableC．you don’t trust others D．you don’t have confidence 11．Where can we read this passage?A．In a newspaper. B．In a biography.C．In a chemical paper. D．In a fiction novel.When you’re worried about stumbling(绊脚), you look down at your feet when you walk. Similarly, fish also do so when they swim, a new study finds.When water moves around them, fish have to find ways to stabilize themselves so they don’t get swept away. If they focus on other fish or other moving objects in the water, they might wrongly believe they are moving. Instead, when they look down and focus on the river bottom, they’re able to more correctly judge their movement and speed.“There are many misleading motion cues(提示) above them, but the most abundant and reliable signals are from the bottom of the river” says study author Emma Alexander, an assistant professor of computer science at Northwestern University.Researchers were fascinated by a recently discovered behavior where fish respond more strongly to motion below them than above them. To completely understand that behavior, they turned to zebrafish, which are often used for research and are well-studied. They had a team following the fish in a lab and another in India to analyze the fish in their natural habitat.In the lab, they tracked fish’s movements inside a tank. Researchers recorded videos in seven sites around India—in shallow rivers where zebrafish are found. They placed a camera inside a waterproof case and attached it to a remotely controlled robotic arm. They put the camera in the water to see what the fish were doing.Analyzing the videos and data, researchers found that in both the wild and the lab situations, zebrafish looked down when they were swimming forward. They came to the conclusion that the fish looked down in order to understand the motion around them and then they were able to avoid being swept away in the current.“Understanding that ability not only helps researchers learn more about fish, it may also give them information when designing some robots. The finding of fish’s motion response can help us build artificial vision systems that benefit from the lessons of hundreds of millions of years of evolution behind them.” Alexander says. 12．Why do fish seldom focus on other moving objects above them?A．To save energy for their moving. B．To stay still in the water all the time. C．To avoid misleading motion cues. D．To protect themselves from enemies. 13．What did the researchers do for their study?A．They collected a variety of fish from India.B．They tracked fish’s movements in the rivers.C．They created some natural habitats in their lab.D．They interacted with fish in person in the water.14．What does Emma Alexander mainly talk about in the last paragraph?A．The secrets of fish in the water. B．The value of the study finding. C．The principles of designing robots. D．The meaning of artificial vision systems.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Watch Below to Avoid StumblingB．Artificial Vision Systems Are VitalC．Fish Look Down When They SwimD．Fish-inspired Robots Will Take ShapeIn the digital age, it has become easy for students to find and copy published material. Copying another person’s writing without giving them credit is called plagiarism. Universities in the U.S. have rules for avoiding plagiarism. But learning to correctly follow these rules can be difficult for some international students.Copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, images and artworks. However, the law permits the unlicensed use for activities including comment, education and research. Therefore, students can include a small part of copyrighted works in their writing and research if they provide credit, or citation (引文), to the creators of the works. Many universities even urge students to give credit to what they get from conversations with professors or other students. Harvard even warns students about copying themselves. That is, they cannot hand in the same work for more than one class without the permission of their instructors.It is easy for professors to know whether a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing. The programs can identify whether students have copied published writing. Second, if English is not a student’s first language, a professor might recognize a change in vocabulary and writing style. The punishment for plagiarism can vary. Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they may fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned from school.There are free tools students can use. Zotero is a free, open-source program that helps organize all the research a student may use. For example, it can automatically create citations and combine them into a list. The Purdue OWL is another free resource. Many universities also have writing centers where students can learn the citation rules. And another way is to read published papers and pay attention to how information is presented. Students should observe when and how citations are used, which can help them learn the rules of citations.16．What must students do when using a small part of copyrighted works? A．Have a conversation with professors. B．Ask for permission from the authors. C．Offer credit to the original creators. D．Explain the purpose of using them. 17．How can professors know if their students are plagiarizing?A．By making a specific comparison.B．By recording the students’ learning experience.C．By learning the students’ first language.D．By researching into the database of writing.18．What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?A．The tips on when citations are used.B．The ways of making a citation safe.C．The rules of using free resource.D．The free resources on the website.19．What is the best title of this text?A．Learning Plagiarism in the Digital AgeB．Commenting on Students’ PlagiarismC．Realizing the Influence of PlagiarismD．Following Rules to Avoid Plagiarism二、完形填空As a single father, I succeeded in keeping my two children quiet that night.and more stories.

We sum up a few things you need (22) ________ (know) about this tra ditional English custom so that you can enjoy it more.(23)________ the tradition of drinking tea dates back to more t han 3,000BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century (2 4)________ the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared in the UK.In 1840, Anna Maria Russell, the seventh Duchess of Bedford , (25) ________ (start) asking for a tea tray with butter, bread a nd cakes at 4 p.m. every day, as she found she was hungry at this time and the evening meal in her household was served f ashionably late at 8 p.m. She found this new habit difficult to b reak and soon invited other ladies in society to join her.This pause for tea quickly became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s, upper-class and society women (26) ________ (change) into long go wns(礼服), gloves and hats for their afternoon tea. Traditional afterno on tea, (27) ________ is typically served between 4p.m. and 6 p.m., is technically a small meal, not a drink. It consists of a s election of dainty sandwiches, freshly baked scones（松饼）.

Each word can only be used once. Not e that there is one word more than you need.It was 37 that students did not write details of how they arr ived at their answers or conclusions. I decided to help student s write in more detail about what they were thinking when the y solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 38 in: choos ing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what t hey wore that day, there was a(n) 39 moment of silence. It seemed a 40 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore tha t day.First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outsid e. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since eithe r one could make a difference in the 41 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted t o wear was clean and ironed. They 42 no one ironed clothe s any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 43 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thou ght about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 44 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.Each new consideration brought out comments from the stud ents. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 45 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer th an they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing deta ils of the thinking process of which we weren’t 46 .III. Reading Comprehension (22%)Section A （10%）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fit the context.The United States is well-known for its network of major highways designed to help a dr iver get from one place to another in the shortest possible tim e. Although these wide modern roads are generally ___47___ and well maintained, with ___48___ sharp curves and many st raight sections, a direct route is not always the most enjoyabl e one. Large highways often pass ___49___ scenic areas and interesting small towns. Furthermore, these highways generall y ___50___ large urban centers, which means that they beco mes crowded with ___51___ traffic during rush hours and the “fast, direct” way becomes a very slow route.However, there is almost always another route to take if you a re not in a hurry. Not far from the relatively new “superhighwa ys”, there are often older, ____52___ heavily travelled roads w hich go through the countryside.

A. view B. varietyC. visitD. virtueSection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage i s followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Ch oose the one that fits best according to the information given i n the passage you have just read.(A)During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Under standably so. Many of us want our children to have a little tast e of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and m ore. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little b urnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they ar e busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up t hat after school time, then it is during the day they are going t o be having a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gai ned from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and acti vities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time j ust to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive ti me; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the bod y and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in th e great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However , Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity t o master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, th en what we’re doing is setting them up not be good at one thi ng or gaining a skill”. So choose your children’s activities wise ly. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids…and for the family drivers!( ) 57. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.( ) 58. What should we think of children’s playing around aiml essly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time ( ) 59.Why should parents limit the activities our children atte nd?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.( ) 60. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Don’t be children’s driver after schoolB. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.(B)Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new chall enges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previo us school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelme d by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learni ng about the experiences of others who have walked the colle ge halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus:●Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new coll ege or university. Give yourself time to make new friends andbecome familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your ti me wisely.●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (likea day timer, a computer data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.●Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulati ons of all kinds can usually be found in your students’ handbo ok. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pi eces of paper need to be handed in? What can/cannot you do in your student residence? Who do you need to complete to graduate?●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of the bedroom and ba throom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper a nd stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Conside r this ------ you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pa y every time you have to repeat or replace a course.●Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not t o do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. D o not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.( ) 61. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college lifeB. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college.( ) 62. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin c ollege life?A. Because you will have more freedom at college.B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because the professors will provide you with a lot of new id eas.( ) 63. The underlined word “know-how” refers to ________.A. An understanding of how things are going at collegeB. Practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do a t collegeC. College halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. An environment completely different from the one you are used to( ) 64. According to the passage, college students _____________.A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. spends as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fight for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course(C)Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday drivin g in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. Bu t, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wron g place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an inciden t involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they j ust plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes th at they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out ’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with som e of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Br own: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they hav e a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Bec ause they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means t hat it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the Universit y of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a projec t with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their r esearch. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cau se confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or diffi cult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a be tter understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.( )65. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conv ersation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage( )66. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown b e most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving li cens eC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS syst ems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely t o result in service failure.( )67. According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse driv ers?A. Wrong maps.B. Out-dated maps.C. Difficult instructions.D. Timing of GPS commands.( )68. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Conveni ent.D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Impr oved.第II卷（共32分）I.

This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don‟t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores‟ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It‟s all about making the shoppin g experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.40．Which of the following statements is true?A．There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004．B．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D．More women shopped online than men in 2004.41．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.42．According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A．is unsafe B．is convenient C．is a waste of time D．is cheaper 43．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons‟ governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let‟s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you‟re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you‟ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know yo u didn‟t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”Julia‟s left eye reddene d with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year‟s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn‟t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick‟s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn‟t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn‟t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves el even. Here‟s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this …merci‟?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I‟ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this…merci‟？”“In my other places they didn‟t give me anything at all.”“They didn‟t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn‟t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”44．What shocked the writer was Julia‟s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 45．The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently46．At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia‟s anxietyB. his worry about Julia‟s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak47．From the story, we can tell that Julia‟s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he‟s got a phone message.“But I didn‟t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Don‟t get mad. He‟s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It‟s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率）ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器）designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.48．Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology，so they can_________．A．talk in class without being heard by their teachersB．use cellphones to send messages in classC．hear better in class than their teachersD．improve their hearing ability49．The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A．adults are annoyed nowB．teenagers are annoyed nowC．adults are not annoyed nowD．both adults and teenagers are annoyed now50．According to this passage，what will happen to a person when he is over twenty?A．He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B．He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C．He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D．He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.51．It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A．older people hear no better than teenagersB．older people had better not use cellphonesC．teenagers hear better than old peopleD．teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre‟s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lotsof equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.52．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the invention of camerasB. a kind of new art - photographyC. the development of photographyD. the important dates in the history of photography53．The first pictures of a war were taken by________.A. a French photographer in the 1840sB. an American photographer in the 1860sC. a German reporter in the 1880sD. a French artist in the 1890s54．Photography can also be an art form because artists can ________.A. take anything they likeB. keep a record of real lifeC. take photos of the famousD. show ideas and feeling in pictures 55．According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?a．Photographs became popular in newspapers.b．Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.c．The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.d．Daguerre invented a kind of photograph called daguerreotype.e．Brady took pictures of famous people.A. e, a, d, b, cB. d, b, e, c, aC. b, e, c, a, dD. d, c, e, a, b第四部分：第一节：阅读表达No one on earth loves to visit a doctor, but no matter how much we hate to knock at the doctor‟s door, something always seems to take us right there.

陕西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案)
陕西省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案）一、阅读理解With the Gulf of Mexico towards the south,the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and the Pacific Ocean in the west, the extensive coastline of the USA is exposed to vast bodies of water. To ensure you have the happiest experience, we have collected a list of some of the most amazing sandy beaches here.ORANGE BEACH, ALABAMAResting in the Gulf of Mexico,Orange Beach stands out because of its sand, which shines remarkably under the golden sun. Orange Beach houses the largest man-made fishing reef in the country, making it ideal for anyone wanting to experience a deep-sea trip.ELMATADOR BEACH, MALIBUKnown as one of the most beautiful beach spots for vacationing, the sharp coastline of El Matador State Beach has to be one of Malibu’s most unique and breathtaking coastlines with the most amazing rocky cliffs(悬崖). Anyone can hop on an incredible whale-watching trip and enjoy the coastline’s high cliffs and enormous giant rocks.CLEARWATER BEACH, FLORIDAShallow waters, and gorgeous sunny weather are the perfect excuse for all travelers to spend a fun-filled day at Clear water Beach in Florida. It’s the perfect relaxation spot for families, featuring white sand and clear blue shallow water.LANIKAI BEACH, OAHU, HAWAIIDespite being barely a half-mile long, Lanikai is the perfect example of the breathtaking sites we see on the back of postcards and far away from the masses of people. It is safeguarded by an offshore coral reef, which makes it the perfect place to go snorkeling and other water sports such as windsurfing and sailing. 1．What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?A．To make a travel plan. B．To guarantee a good experience.C．To improve the sailing skill. D．To study the USA coastline.2．What is special for the El Matador State Beach?A．Rocky cliffs. B．Perfect sands.C．Breathtaking sunsets. D．Exciting sports.3．Which will probably attract a visitor willing to avoid crowds?A．Orange Beach B．El Matador State BeachC．Clear water Beach D．Lanikai BeachFriday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese, as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first, a World Natural Heritage, is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries (候鸟保护地) along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng, East China’s Jiangsu Province. The second, the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017. It only took two years to successfully complete the process. The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species, especially threatened migratory birds including red-crowned cranes and flamingos, go there to hunt for food during the migration season. The birds usually take a month to finish their migration. At about 10 days into their migration, they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage’s application, the Liangzhu application was far more complicated. The application team spent six years making their dream a reality. The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China, which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago. The site was one of the 20th century’s most important archaeological discoveries in China.With these two new additions, China now has 55 World Heritage sites, the highest number in the world. The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations (义务). Protecting these places is much more important and is our futurework.4．What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries?A．It’s the first China’s world natural heritage on the sea.B．It provides safe habitats for endangered species.C．It’s located along the coast of the Yellow River.D．It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds.5．According to Paragraph 2, how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds? A．By creating warm places to produce baby birds.B．By preventing them from being killed by hunters.C．By providing food supplies during their migration.D．By curing the endangered birds after their journey.6．Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site?A．It shows the long history of China.B．It proves the wisdom of the people.C．It witnesses the civilization of an age.D．It reveals the food of the late Neolithic.7．What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?A．The application success’s promotion of tourism.B．Chinese responsibilities after the successful application.C．The two places’ influence on Chinese history.D．Chinese challenge of protecting birds’ migration.When a Houston dad found out his eight-year-old son was being bullied (欺负), he didn’t get mad at the classmate who teased him. Instead, he talked with the so-called bully and realized that the boy was struggling, too.Aubrey Fontenot’s son, Jordan, told him a boy named Tamarion was teasing him. Fontenot decided to sit down with his son and Tamarion to understand what was going on, and something unexpected happened.Tamarion told Fontenot he was being teased at school, too. “I asked, ‘By who? You are big. You are huge. Who is teasing you?’” the father said. “He said, ‘Justall the other kids, man. They are making fun of me.” Fontenot learned that Tamarion was getting teased for his clothes and shoes—his clothes and shoes were old and dirty. Fontenot then spoke to the boy’s mother. “She kind of confirmed it,” Fontenot said. “And she said, ‘That’s the kind of situation.’”He felt sympathetic to the young boy and wanted to help. So he asked Tamarion’s mom if he could take her son to do some shopping.Fontenot posted videos of their trip to the mall on social media and they went viral. Tamarion eventually smiled, and then the two were laughing and singing together on their shopping trip. Just as if he were taking his own son to do some shopping, Fontenot got Tamarion new clothes and shoes, and shared words of wisdom with him.Then, the dad united the two boys. He said it was awkward at first—just a day earlier, they didn’t get along well at school. But the two classmates started playing sports games together and soon became friends.It was not just about the clothes and shoes. Tamarion gained a friend in Jordan, and a mentor in his dad. Fontenot said he was also bullied when he was a child, so he knew it was important to listen to Tamarion’s story. He chose kindness instead of anger and brought the two boys together. “I wouldn’t say that was the goal, but that was the reward,” Fontenot said.8．What was Fontenot’s attitude toward his son’s being bullied?A．Amazed and embarrassed. B．Angry and impatient. C．Calm and sensible. D．Sad and discouraged.9．Why does the author say “something unexpected happened” in the second paragraph? A．Fontenot liked Tamarion instantly. B．Tamarion bullied Jordan out of kindness. C．Tamarion was also a victim of bullying. D．Fontenot and Tamarion’s mother used to be friends.10．What did Fontenot do to solve the problem of bullying?A．He turned to the school for help. B．He asked Tamarion’s mother to settle the problem.C．He ordered his son never to play with Tamarion again. D．He made the twoboys united and join together.11．What can we know from the text?A．Jordan’s being bullied arose from his clothes and shoes.B．Jordan and Tamarion got along well in the beginning.C．Tamarion’s mother paid little attention to Tamarion.D．Fontenot communicated with Tamarion’s mother to know about him.Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone in space exploration. On Jan. 3, Chang’e 4 became the first space probe (探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind’s space exploration.The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don’t know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal place for scientific research. It may have unique minerals (矿物质）and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.Chang’e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang’e 4 mission (任务) is a major achievement for China’s space program.China launched its lunar (月球的) exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang’e. Chinese scientists set three goals-“orbiting (环绕运行), landing and sample returning”. Chang’e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang’e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.Following the success of the Chang’e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our’ solar system. China’s first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.12．Chang’e 4 is the first space probe in the world to land ________.A．in deep spaceB．on the moonC．on the near side of the moonD．on the far side of the moon13．The underlined word “observations” in paragraph 2 meansA．学习B．观察C．描述D．庆祝14．Which of the following is the second goal of China’s lunar exploration program? A．Landing on the moon.B．Bringing some samples back to the earth…C．Building a base on the moon.D．Travelling around the moon.15．What can be the best title of the passage?A．The Space Probe B．Exploring the MoonC．The Three Goals D．Exploring the Mars二、七选五If you are beginning to apply for college, you probably want to know what will be the most impressive things to include in your college application. Of course, each school evaluates different criteria, but all of them will be looking for students who are smart, ambitious, and passionate about life. 16 Choose your high school classes with intention. Colleges do actually care about the courses you have taken and how well you do in each. 17 While there are many other important factors at play, nearly every university is going to look closely at this one.18 This seems obvious, but it is also one of the most critical acceptance criteria that college admissions officers look at when choosing who will attend. Once you have selected your courses, you need to do the best possible work you can. You don ’t need to have straight A’s in all your classes-especially the most demanding ones. However, you should do the strongest work you can handle.Participate in extracurricular (课外的) activities. College admissions representatives look for students who have unique perspectives about the world around them. 19 However, to have those qualities, it is necessary toparticipate in activities beyond what might typically be expected.Obtain some solid letters of recommendation. 20 Colleges will typically want to see recommendations from those who know you well. Not only do they offer some personal opinions about your character, but they also show that someone is willing to guarantee for you and believes in your reputation.A．Struggle for good grades.B．Grades and test scores are important components.C．In fact, it is one of the key considerations for admission.D．They like to see independent thought, innovation, and creativity.E．For a successful application, use strong examples to illustrate your points.F．If you want to make your college application stand out, take a look at the following tips.G．Reach out to those who know you well — your teachers, coaches or club leaders, for example.三、完形填空Penny Stevens is a health and physical education teacher at Mills E.

Chaplin waved his hands to drive it away, but the fly so on came back again. For once it even rested on his nose! The great actor got very angry. He took up a fly-swatter(苍蝇拍)and swung at it ,but the fly got away in time. Then the offen der(罪犯者)stayed on the table before him.

Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people a re thinking about.Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your e yes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand i n class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are s aying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign o n the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed th at there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive me ssages from them all the time?People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Words can carry messages.B. TV can help people know the world better.C. Using radio is one of the ways to communicate.D. Words are the only way for man to communicate.Which of the following shows you are saying “No”?A.nod your head.B. shake your head.C. raise your hand.D.a smile on your face.11.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a c ertain time. They move for different reasons most of them mo ve to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer pla ces to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and mo ve to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt wat er. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthp lace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In north ern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leaves their mount ain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seasi de, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of l obster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the l obsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor ofthe ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody kno ws where they go.So ,sometimes we know why humans and animals move fro m one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe liv ing things just like to travel.16.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain t ime to ______.A. give birthB.find food more easilyC. enjoy warmer weatherD. find beautiful places17. Where does“salmon” spend its life? ______.A. salt waterB. landC. fresh waterD. its birthplace18. The mice in northern Europe move when ______.A. they give birthB. the weather becomes coldC. they haven’t enough foodD. the place gets too crowded19. The lobsters move _______.A. to the fresh waterB. to give birthC. when bad weather comesD. to find more food20. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.B. The migration of fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, but sometimes we don’t.第二节七选五：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项.Some students wish that they could always see the smiles on their teachers’ faces. 21 Why do teachers seldom smile，especially in class?I believe all the people，including teachers，want to smile in their daily life.Teachers teach us from mornin g till evening every day，which is difficult.It is because of teachers’ hard work that we s tudents can know a lot about different fields.Nevertheless，some students do not study hard，which makes teachers unhappy. 22What is more，other students do not listen carefully in class.Instead，they sometimes talk，make faces，look outside or do some other things not related to their study.They do not work hard，and often make teachers angry.Can teachers smile in these c ases？Of course not. 23The first and most important thing is that you must put your heart and mind in your study.That means you should listen to your teachers carefully in class.Try your best to grasp what is taught in class.24 If you have any difficulty，you can turn to your teachers or classmates for help.Last but not least，try to talk with your teachers in your free time.Also，when your teachers are ill，they need your care.Some of your words may make them smil e.25A．However，instead of the smiling faces，they usually see the cold，even freezing faces of teachers.

B．Science.C．Fashion. D．Education.Many kinds of turtles (海龟) found in the Philippines are endangered. But now, the turtles have one less threat. Many people who used to collect their eggs to eat or to sell are now working to keep turtles safe.Those people are called poachers (偷猎者). Now, however, protection organizations are teaching former poachers how to safely collect the eggs and protect them before they hatch (孵化). The people who do this are paid about 37 cents per egg. That is four times more than they would earn from selling them illegally.One of the former poachers is Johnny Manlugay. “I’ve learned to love this work,”he said, adding that he did not know it was illegal to eat turtle eggs and their meat. He now collects the eggs carefully and brings them to a group called Coastal Underwater Resource Management Actions (CURMA), which takes the eggs and puts them under the sand in a safe place. When the baby turtles hatch, they are directed to the water.The turtles are called “pawikan” in the local language. They are at risk notonly from poachers, but also climate change and habitat loss.Carlos Tamayo is one of CURMA’s leaders. “We talked to the poachers, and it turned out poaching was just another means for them to earn a living,” he said. “They had no choice.”Cabagbag is over 40 years old. His wife and seven-year-old son sometimes help him collect turtle eggs. Since October, they have taken over 1,000 eggs to CURMA．Cabagbag said that once he received training and learned that the turtles were endangered, he stopped poaching.When the baby turtles hatch, many visitors come to watch them run down the beach and into the water. Cabagbag said seeing the turtles get safely into the water brings him a feeling of joy.4．What is one of the ways of the organizations to protect turtles? A．Teaching former poachers to collect and protect turtle eggs.B．Getting the locals to receive more education.C．Encouraging the locals to develop tourism.D．Helping raise the locals’ earnings.5．What can be known about Johnny Manlugay?A．He helps place the eggs under the sand.B．He encouraged his family to collect the eggs.C．He has taken more than 1,000 eggs from CURMA．D．He once lacked the awareness of protecting turtles.6．Which threat to turtles is not mentioned in the text?A．Poachers. B．Climate change. C．Ocean pollution. D．Habitat loss. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Turtles Are at Risk from Climate ChangeB．Former Turtle Poachers Are Now ProtectorsC．Turtle Population in the Philippines Is ChangingD．CURMA Is Offering Training of Turtle Protection to FarmersI never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my fathertake a “night out with the boys”. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life----how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before.I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida.I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed (发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every single day.8．We know from the reading that the father_____.A．liked to paint housesB．had no friends around himC．was not healthy in his youthD．thought of his family as his all9．When her father painted her first house, the daughter_____.A．could only afford a glass of iced teaB．was too busy to talk to her fatherC．could do nothing but hold a paintbrushD．spent eight hours a day working with her father10．On January 16, 1995, the daughter felt that her father_____.A．seemed to be a little differentB．had no time to phone her as usualC．became interested in churchD．had forgotten to discuss some things with her11．Which is the best title of the reading?A．Painting HousesB．Daughter’s FamilyC．Father and ID．Father’s phone callsWhat will the future school look like is difficult to make clear, but most experts agree that the school will be electronic in the future ." Present-day schools will no longer exist in the next century," says a report in The Age. "At that time, future schools will become community-style centers, which run seven days a week,24 hours a day. ” At the same time, computers will surely become a central part of the school in the future.According to The Age, the distant learning will be popular and students will listen to teachers on computers. Going into classrooms on their computers, students will study at any time, which is very easy for them. However, it is necessary for students to go to the actual school in order to develop some social skills.The Seashore Primary School is an imaginary school in the future created by the Education Department of Australia. At this school, all the teachers and students have laptop computers . Teachers check messages and call students back on a special telephone system and students use telephones to search for information or speak to their experts who teach their lessons. Besides, all the lessons are related to all sorts of subjects and all the students have their own learning plans created by teachers .As one headmaster says, a laptop computer is students5 library, data storage （数据存储）as well as the bridge to a wider world. Technology has changed the emphasis of future learning. Thus, well pay more attention to the learning of kids rather than the teaching.12．According to the report in The Age, students in future schools will _______. A．have no teachers B．study at a set timeC．mainly study online D．never go to actual school13．The example of the Seashore Primary School is given to show _______. A．telephones are important in AustraliaB．how future schools will workC．every student needs a learning planD．students enjoy getting in touch with teachers14．Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．The Schools in the FutureB．Great Changes in TechnologyC．The Seashore Primary SchoolD．Actual Schools to Be Replaced二、七选五Sandstorms are among the most violent natural disasters. High winds lift dirtor sand into the air, causing damage, injuries, and deaths. 1516 If you have a mask, put it on immediately. If you don’t have one, wrap a piece of cloth tightly around your head to protect your nose and mouth.Look for shelter (避难所). Even a parked car will do, so long as it is off the road and not in danger of getting hit. Sand will fly around when it hits objects.17 If you cannot get to shelter, try to stay low to the ground and protect your head with your arms, a backpack or a pillow.Protect yourself from flying objects. Look for a large rock to cover as muchof your body as possible. 18 Flying sand can hurt, but a dust storm’s high winds can also carry heavier (more dangerous) objects.Wait out the storm. 19 It’s much too dangerous. Stay where you are andwait for it to pass before you attempt to move to a different location. If you can quickly reach such shelter before a dust storm reaches you, get there as quickly as possible and stay inside. Close all windows and doors, and wait out the storm.A．Cover your nose and mouth.B．Wait other people to help you.C．Staying out is a better choice.D．Don’t try to move through the storm.E．This can protect you from flying sand.F．So you should still try to cover as much of your skin and face as possible.G．It’s good to know what to do if you see a wall of sand.三、完形填空Have you noticed what advertisers do when they want you to remember their message?listening.

He was glad and drank it up, then wrote “105” on the corner of the trademark(商标)with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine.
