At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier. This construction work went on for five centuries! If all the roads built during the Roman Empire were put together end to end, they would circle the equator twice.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. The first layer was made of sand. Next, the builders added rocks and rubble. On top of these materials came gravel. On this solid foundation, the road builders placed paving stones.Also, Roman roads were cambered. This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousands paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, Who was emperor at the time, the road's destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts ofRoman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive accomplishments of the Roman Empire.5. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that__________.A. the Roman Empire was very powerfulB. lots of roads were built during the Roman EmpireC. the roads built during the Roman Empire were very longD. the roads built during the Roman Empire were very convenient6. Which of the following description about Roman roads is WRONG?A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers.B. Roman roads had milestones that were placed every other Roman mile.C. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique abandoned today.D. Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire.7. The information you can find on the milestones is__________________.A. the distance from one city.B. the materials used in building roadsC. the builders of the roadD. the time spent in building roads8. The passage mainly_____________.A. shows how great the Roman Empire wasB. explains the saying "All roads lead to Rome"C. introduces the construction of the Roman roadsD. praises ancient Romans for their great achievementsCA few days ago, I was sitting in a Thai restaurant enjoying a meal when I got on a phone call from a friend 1 hadn't spoken to for a long time. In my enthusiasm and excitement, I talked quite louder than usual voice and in Spanish, my mother tongue.A few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly offended, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate (重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.I sank in my seat out of embarrassment. I ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. Before getting up, I looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. I noticed that the lady was alone and staring out the window. I found a tinge (气息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace. But I had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier. Right then I abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture. Seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, I look one out and wrote some words to express my apology. On signing my restaurant bill, I asked a waiter to secretly charge the lady's meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.Did she take it the wrong way, I wondered? Did she get confused? Did she refuse the anonymous offer? And so on. I just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome. To my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way.The waiter approached me in a joy, telling me, "In the many times she had dined here before, I had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $0 bill. She thanked me even though I explained that someone else did the job. "9. The old lady changed her seat mainly because of ________.A. her private phone callB. the author's loud voiceC. the views out of the windowD. the restaurant staff's mistake10. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. The author didn't stop talking though he felt embarrassed.B. The author went up to the old lady and apologized to her.C. The old lady just moved to the farthest table to see outside.D. The lady didn't have a nice mood and liked to stay alone.11. Feeling sorry, the author offered the old lady the following EXCEPT _________.A. an apologetic gesture B.a smile cardC. a free mealD. some written words to apologize12. Why did the author say“...things turned out the best possible way"?A. Because the waiter became joyful.B. Because the old lady forgave him.C. Because he didn't need to pay the bill.D. Because someone else did the job for him.DThere are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and conditions of modem living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a test. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.The researchers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed differences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer. The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.13. The underlined words "such a test" refer to________.A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which don’t .B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development,.C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when it is -smallD. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way14. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients’ b lood.B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.C.X-raying is the best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.D. Cancers have nothing to do with a person’s habits and living conditions.15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A simple way to cancerB. Cancers can be curedC. How to find cancerD. Early discovery of cancer第二节任务型阅读(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最佳选项,并将其答案标号涂在答题卡上对应题目的选项处。

河南省新野县第三高级中学高二英语上学期第三次周考试题
高二上学期第三次周考英语试题一、听力:(共20题,每小题1分,共20分)二、阅读理解(每小题1.5分,共22.5分)AWHEN cars drive in a circle,do they go around a “traffi c circle”or a“roundabout”?The first choice sounds strange to me,as we don't say it in Britain.but I've made Americans laugh for minutes at a time just by saying“roundabout”before.Irish author George Bernard Shaw is believed to have said.“England and America are two countries separated by the same language.”This idea might seem strange, but I think of it whenever I have this type of communication problem with my friends from across the Atlantic。
Often,American people simply don't know who I'm talking about.Many times I've had to explain who a British celebrity(名人)is,even though I assume (猜想)that theymust be well-known outside of the UK.It's sometimes seems like most Americans don't know who UK Prime Minister David Cameron is,yet in the UK we know all about Paris Hilton and other unimportant US celebrities—hardly fair!There are also many differences in meaning between words and idioms in our two forms of English.I once tried to break up an argument between two Americans by saying,“Come on,leave it out!”(meaning“stop doing or saying that”)but they just turned to me looking confused (困惑的),wondering what exactly they were supposed to“leave out”.At least the argument finished!Another unexpected problem with the two types of English happened to me when I was a teacher. I realized that sometimes when I wrote a word with a British spelling, such as“colour”with a“u”,my students would think that I had spelled it wrong and try to correct me.Having said a11 of that,I should say that I do really like the way American English sounds,and I've got nothing against people learning it—just “leave it out” if you're thinking of correcting my spelling!21.The author mentions the word“roundabout”in the first paragraph to .A.introduce some confusing English wordsB.show how self-centered Americans areC.give an example of the difference between American and British English D.list a group of words that sounds strange to British people22.According to the third paragraph the author found that .A.American people are more interested in sports than in entertainment B.American people do not know much about British celebritiesC.British people care 1ess about the life of celebrities than American people D.British celebrities are not very well known in other parts of the world 23.The author's American friends were confused when he said “leave it out”because_________.A.the phrase doesn't exist in American EnglishB.the phrase does not have the same meaning in American EnglishC.they didn't expect the author to break up their argumentD.they were not sure of the author's attitude toward their argument 24.The text mainly makes its points .A.by making contrasts B.by giving examplesC.by explaining famous quotes D.by making classificationsB“IT'S never too late to have a happy childhood,”the author Tom Robbins once said.I think it is never too late to need Dad.When we're little,Daddy is in charge of the world as we know it.Yes,I know we have a president,and some countries have kings or prime ministers,but they are really not in charge of the world.Dad knows everything.he can do anything,and he is always right.“Hey,Daddy! Where is Helsinki(芬兰首都赫尔辛基)?”I would ask when I was younger.Myfather would reply:“If you put things away where they belong,you would know where they are.”I said:“Hey,Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki.”He replied:“OK,let's get the encyclopedia(百科全书).”“Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?”He replied:“Yeah.Be home before midnight.”When I arrived home at 2:30 am,Dad was up waiting.we don't understand about love and anger when we're kids.Dads yell and shout,and we don't realize that it's because they care.We think it's because they have to be tough.Not this time.He said:“Thank God you're safe.Go to bed,we'll talk about this in the morning.”He always helped.“Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong.My teacher won't listen to me.”“I'll listen.What happened? Is that really what happened?”The next day, Dad was at my school,talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding.I could always count on Dad.Regardless of what he knows or doesn't know, Dad almost always cares,and can be counted on to be on our side.The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.“Hey, Dad! Do you have 50 bucks I could borrow?”He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it.He feels embarrassed when we pay him back.and he says:“You don't have to”, but we do because it is important to do the right thing.Dad taught us that.Dad tells you about traditions.“How is today different from other days?” Of course he knows, and knows how to explain.It is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything.He is the leader, and he is in charge of our world.The captain of the ship,out on the open sea.AnonymousTHE first day of school is always a chaotic(混乱的)time.For many students in the US,this year was even more so.It was all due to one extra school policy.They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(规范).According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown,Pennsylvania,students must wear short- or long-sleeve polo shirts and khaki or black pants.Skinny jeans,leggings(紧身裤),and open toe shoes are not allowed.Allentown schools are not alone.Overall,about 57 percent of American public schools now have a “strict dress code”,up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.Some students don't mind wearing a similar attire(服装)every day.“It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing field a little bit with the haves and have-nots,”longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.But others aren't happy, claiming (声称)that uniforms rob students of individuality(个性).While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US.however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition. School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(统治)of King Henry VIII in the l6th century.They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870.The UK Department of Education's website states:“The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can...contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone。

河南省新野县第三高级中学2014-2015学年高二下学期第一次月考英语试题 Word版含答案
一、阅读理解(每小题2分,共30分)AAbout 30 years ago,I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick,New Jersey,I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later,my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.In the teacher's office,an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions:“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No,no,it can't be.What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class.Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry:“Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home?”No,I didn't speak English at home,I replied.1 was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country,never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of“those people”.Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted,contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的).Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator”I met in New Jersey.1.The teacher asked the author to his office____________.A.to discuss Scola's in-class performanceB.to get Scola enrolled in a kindergartenC.to find a language partner for ScolaD.to work out a study plan for Scola2.What does the underlined word“disrupting”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Breaking. B Following.C.Attending.D.Disturbing.3.The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as_____________.A.critical B.casual C.positive D.passive 4.This text is likely to be selected from a book of__________.A.medicine B.education C.geography D.historyBPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.A VOID B1G EVENTS Big sporting events.Concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival(19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com.A week later,the same room cost £118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time check out sites such as Whatsonwher.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category.STAY AW AY FROM THE STA TION If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance,the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room cost just £62.95.LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden awayon the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for £420 for five days in late September,with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle(casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours)and Cardiff(free for up to 30 minutes,or £5 per day).5.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may_________.A.help travelers pass time B.attract lots of travelers to the UKC.allow travelers to make flexible plansD.cause travelers to pay more for accommodation6.“Farringdon”in Paragraph 5 is most probably___________.A.a hotel away from the train station B.the tube 1ine to Covent GardenC.an ideal holiday destination D.the name of a travel agency7.The passage shows that the O'N eill Flat__________.A.lies on the ground floor B.is located in central LondonC.provides cooking facilities for touristsD.costs over £100 on average per day in late September8.Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of .A.half an four B.one hourC.one hour and a half D.two hoursCApple SeedsCirculation(发行量):1 Year,9 IssuesCover Price:$44.55Price For You:$33.95Product Description:Apple Seeds is an award winning magazine filled with stories for kids aged from 7 to 9.The cover is very soft,providing durability(耐用性)that allows each issue to be enjoyed for many years to come.Besides,there is a big surprise for you—it's being sold at a morefavorable discount than usual.Better LifeCirculation:1 Year,12 IssuesCover Price:$44.55Price For You:$15.00Product Description:Designed for those who have a strong interest in personal lifestyle.Better Life is America's complete home and family service magazine.It offers help with food,recipes,decorating,building,gardening,family health,money management,and education.Humor TimesCirculation:1 Year,12 IssuesCover Price:$36.00Price For You:$11.95Product Description:The Humor Times magazine is for those who love to laugh!

B.Overweight or Underweight?C.Who in a Dilemma.D.No Longer Dying of Hunger.二、七选五(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。

第Ⅰ卷一、阅读理解(15小题,每小题2分,共30分)AScientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again.They want to bring water to the deserts,so people can live and grow food.They are learning a lot about the deserts.But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.Why is more and more land becoming desert,9 Scientists think that people make deserts.People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth don't get much rain.But they still don't become deserts.This is because some green plants are growing there.Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places.Plants don't 1et the sun make the earth even drier.Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away.When a bit of rain falls,the plants hold the water.Without plants,the land can become desert more easily.1.We can know from the passage that deserts .A.never have any plants or animals in themB.can a11 be turned into good land before longC.are becoming smaller and smallerD.get very little rain and with few plants2.Small green plants are very important to dry places and .A.they make the earth richer B.they don't let the wind blow the soil awayC.they attract water D.they use little water3.Land is becoming desert little by little because .A.plants can't grow thereB.there is not enough rainC.people haven't done what scientists wish them to doD.scientists know 1ittle about the deserts4.After reading this passage,we learn that .A.plants can keep dry land from becoming desertB.it is good to get rid of the grass in the desertsC.all places without much rain will become desertsD.it is better to grow crops on dry land than to cut themBJimmy's father was a teacher and taught physics in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop.They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out.Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home.Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble.Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough,they grew up but they lived a hard life.His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女).After he finished middle sch001,he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.One day the young man fell to ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor.One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital.He said to the nurse,“I'm a poor man,madam.Arrange a third-class ward(病房)for me,please.”“Can't anybody help you.9”“No,madam,”answered Jimmy.“I have only a sister.She's a nun and she's poor,too.”“I don't think so,”the nurse said angrily.“Nuns usually marry God.And God is the richest in the world,you know!”“Well,then,”Jimmy said with a smile.“Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law.”8.Which of the following is TRUE?A.The nurse would arrange a third—class ward for Jimmy.B.Jimmy's sister became a nun because of her illness.C.The nurse would post Jimmy's bill to God.D.Jimmy had a rich brother-in-law.CWhy are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of the human life.Every person is able to fight failure and finally succeed.Most parents try hard to prevent their children from knowing that they have failed.One way is to lower standards(标准).When a child finishes making a table,its mother describes it as “Fantastic”,though the table isn't good at all.Another way is to blame others.If John fails science,mother will say his teacher is unfair or foolish.There’s a problem with the two ways.It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world.Young children need to learn that no one can be best at everything,no one can win all the time and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win.A child often feels terrible,of course,when he is not invited to a birthday party,or is not chosen into a football team.But parents should not say“It doesn't matter”quickly.The young should be allowed to experience disappointment(失望)—and be helped to come out of it.Failure never gives people pleasure.It hurts both children and their parents.But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it.You must 1earn to ask “Why did I fail? ”Don't blame someone else.Ask yourself what you did wrong,how you can improve.If someone else can help,don't be shy about asking them.Success just repeats what has been done.It is not as good a teacher as failure.You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one.9.How do most parents prevent their children from failure?A.They give them some presents.B.They don't tell them that they have failed.C.They don't blame other people.D.They help them to come out of failure.10.Which of the following does a person need to learn when he fails?A.It's impossible to enjoy a game if he misses it.B.He's the worst of all.C.It's natural not to win a game and no one can win all the time.D.He's shy about asking others for help.11.The writer of this article thinks that if a child fails,parents should .A.give him a quick prize B.advise him to repeat failureC.blame others D.encourage him to learn to use failure 12.The best title for this article may be .A.Learning from Failure B.Ways of Preventing FailureC.Reasons for Failure D.Getting Pleasure from FailureDRecently,I came across a poster that read,“If it wasn't for the last minute,a lot of things wouldn'tget done!”It may sound funny,but it is very true.Most of us,instead of starting a task ahead of time,put it off till the very last minute,and then rush through it.This results either in a badly done job or anincomplete one.There are people who always put off things for different reasons.Some lack the will to get started.Others cannot get started because they keep changing their plans.There are yet others who are lazy and want to put off hard work.The word to describe all such people is“disorganized”.Take a minute off to think about yourself:Do you get your books together and start sorting out badly jumbled(混乱的)notes just when the exams are round the corner and then burn the midnight oil trying to memorize 8 year's worth of material in a week? Do you go hunting for clean socks and uniforms only when it's time to leave for school?Lack of mental organization is unhealthy.You could lose trust,and worse still,good friends.Planning is important if you want to get ahead in life.It is easy enough if you follow these four simple steps:1.Plan your course of action:For instance,if you are studying for an exam,gather your books and notes well in advance,make a timetable for daily studies and set a day and time to start.2.Get started:Start studying on the day you've decided.3.Stick to your plans:Don't change your plans along the way,except when it is absolutely necessary.4.Never give it up less than your best:Study as hard as you can and leave the rest to luck.If you’ve done your best,success will certainly be yours!二、任务型阅读(七选五,共5小题,每小题2分,共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。

高三上学期第二次周考英语试题2014.9.09Ⅰ阅读理解(共18小题;每小题2分,满分36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。
AOne day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had "referred him to me." This boy has lost his family," he wrote." He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?"I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon--in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought." Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly."It's your turn," he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one--without any words--can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.l. When he first met the author, David_____________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked energeticallyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher2.As a psychologist, the author _______________.A. was ready to listen to DavidB. was skeptical about psychologyC. was able to describe David's problemD. was sure of handling David's problem3.David enjoyed being with the author because he______________.A. wanted to ask the author for adviceB. needed to share sorrow with the authorC. liked the children's drawings in the officeBIt is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that "When two English meet, their first talk is of weather." Though Johnson' s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues that "To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it." Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. "The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty." According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather , they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank "fillers". In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.6.The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that__________A. most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB. Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC. the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD. English conversations usually start with the weather7.What does the underlined word "obsession" most probably refer to?A. A social trend.B. An emotional state.C. A historical concept.D. An unknown phenomenon.8.According to the passage, Jeremy Paxman believes thatA. Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB. there is nothing special about the English weatherC. the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD. English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty9.What is the author' s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To explain what English weather- speak is about.B. To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.C. To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D. To convince people that the English weather is changeable.CIt's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.It's a library built with love.A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, "That's what we're going to do for our spring break!"Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he' d built years earlier for daughter Abbie'stoy horses, and made a door of glass.After adding the library's final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to "take a book, return a book," and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.They stocked it with 20 or so books they' d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. "I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again," said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.The project' s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind." We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular."10.In what way is the library "pedestrian-friendly"?A. It owns a yellow roof.B. It stands near a sidewalk.C. It protects book lovers from the sun.D. It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.11.Janey got the idea to build a library from _________________A. a visit to Brian WilliamsB. a spring break with her familyC. a book sent by one of her neighborsD. a report on a Wisconsin-based organization12.The library was built _______________.A. by a ship supply companyB. on the basis of toy horsesC. like a mailboxD. with glass13.What can we infer about the signboard?A. It was made by a user of the library.B. It marked a final touch to the library.C. It aimed at making the library last long.D. It indicated the library was a family property.14.The passage tells us that the users ____________.A. donate books to the libraryB. get paid to collect books for the libraryC. receive thank-you notes for using the libraryD. visit the library over 5 times on average dailyDFun DayTo celebrate the Year of the SnakeOrganised by Lam Tin Youth Centre and Kwun Tong High School*Tickets are available at the General Office of Lam Tin Youth Centre.*For those who would like to be a volunteer please contact Miss Olivia Wong one week before the activity.15.What you have just read is a____________A. noteB. reportC.scheduleD. poster16.What is going to take place on 2 February,2013?A.A big event to welcome a Chinese new year.B.A social gathering to raise money for wildlife.C.A party for close friends to meet and have fun.D.A meeting of Kwun Tong High School students.17.How much do you have to pay in total if four of you go together?A.$20.B.$40.C.$60.D.$80.18.Which of the following statements is true?A.

Here are some ways to love your parents.Fell them you love them every morning. A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm acoldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, you might still wander at anunknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn from them when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry but angry actions don' t help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend. 20 Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it' s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot.Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 21 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?22 Do things with your parents like watching TV, or going somewhere with them. Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can. Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find they are your teachers in this way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents. 23 Seek help if you are being abused in any way.

After this, share your feelings with your parents.E. Keep company with them.F. Please remember parents are as important as friends.G.

河南省新野县第三高级中学2014-2015学年高二上学期第三次周考英语试题
高二上学期第三次周考英语试题一、听力:(共20题,每小题1分,共20分)二、阅读理解(每小题1.5分,共22.5分)AWHEN cars drive in a circle,do they go around a “traffi c circle” or a“roundabout”?The first choice sounds strange to me,as we don't say it in Britain.but I've made Americans laugh for minutes at a time just by saying“roundabout”before.Irish author George Bernard Shaw is believed to have said.“England and America are two countries separated by the same language.”This idea might seem strange, but I think of it whenever I have this type of communication problem with my friends from across the Atlantic。
Often,American people simply don't know who I'm talking about.Many times I've had to explain who a British celebrity(名人)is,even though I assume (猜想)that they must be well-known outside of the UK.It's sometimes seems like most Americans don't know who UK Prime Minister David Cameron is,yet in the UK we know all about Paris Hilton and other unimportant US celebrities—hardly fair!There are also many differences in meaning between words and idioms in our two forms of English.I once tried to break up an argument between two Americans by saying,“Come on,leave it out!”(meaning“stop doing or saying that”)but they just turned to me looking confused (困惑的),wondering what exactly they were supposed to“leave out”.At least the argument finished!Another unexpected problem with the two types of English happened to me when I was a teacher. I realized that sometimes when I wrote a word with a British spelling, such as“colour”with a“u”,my students would think that I had spelled it wrong and try to correct me.Having said a11 of that,I should say that I do really like the way American English sounds,and I've got nothing against people learning it—just “leave it out” if you're thinking of correcting my spelling!21.The author mentions the word“roundabout”in the first paragraph to .A.introduce some confusing English wordsB.show how self-centered Americans areC.give an example of the difference between American and British EnglishD.list a group of words that sounds strange to British people22.According to the third paragraph the author found that .A.American people are more interested in sports than in entertainmentB.American people do not know much about British celebritiesC.British people care 1ess about the life of celebrities than American peopleD.British celebrities are not very well known in other parts of the world23.The author's American friends were confused when he said “leave it out” because_________.A.the phrase doesn't exist in American EnglishB.the phrase does not have the same meaning in American EnglishC.they didn't expect the author to break up their argumentD.they were not sure of the author's attitude toward their argument24.The text mainly makes its points .A.by making contrasts B.by giving examplesC.by explaining famous quotes D.by making classificationsB“IT'S never too late to have a happy childhood,”the author Tom Robbins once said.I think it is never too late to need Dad.When we're little,Daddy is in charge of the world as we know it.Yes,I know we have a president,and some countries have kings or prime ministers,but they are really not in charge of the world.Dad knows everything.he can do anything,and he is always right.“Hey,Daddy! Where is Helsinki(芬兰首都赫尔辛基)?”I would ask when I was younger.My father would reply:“If you put things away where they belong,you would know where they are.”I said:“Hey,Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki.”He replied:“OK,let's get the encyclopedia(百科全书).”“Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?”He replied:“Yeah.Be home before midnight.”When I arrived home at 2:30 am,Dad was up waiting.we don't understand about love and anger when we're kids.Dads yell and shout,and we don't realize that it's because they care.We think it's because they have to be tough.Not this time.He said:“Thank God you're safe.Go to bed,we'll talk about this in the morning.”He always helped.“Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong.My teacher won't listen to me.”“I'll listen.What happened? Is that really what happened?”The next day, Dad was at my school,talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding.I could always count on Dad.Regardless of what he knows or doesn't know, Dad almost always cares,and can be counted on to be on our side.The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.“Hey, Dad! Do you have 50 bucks I could borrow?”He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it.He feels embarrassed when we pay him back.and he says:“You don't have to”, but we do because it is important to do the right thing.Dad taught us that.Dad tells you about traditions.“How is today different from other days?” Of course he knows, and knows how to explain.It is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything.He is the leader, and he is in charge of our world.The captain of the ship,out on the open sea.AnonymousTHE first day of school is always a chaotic(混乱的)time.For many students in the US,this year was even more so.It was all due to one extra school policy.They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(规范).According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown,Pennsylvania,students must wear short- or long-sleeve polo shirts and khaki or black pants.Skinny jeans,leggings(紧身裤),and open toe shoes are not allowed.Allentown schools are not alone.Overall,about 57 percent of American public schools now have a “strict dress code”,up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.Some students don't mind wearing a similar attire(服装)every day.“It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing field a little bit with the haves and have-nots,”longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.But others aren't happy, claiming (声称)that uniforms rob students of individuality(个性).While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US.however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition.School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(统治)of King Henry VIII in the l6th century.They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870.The UK Department of Education's website states:“The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can...contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone。

She helped many people escape from slavery through the Underground Railroad. It was an organized effort to help slaves from the southern states to areas that banned slavery.Slaves could be sold freely. Families were often separated. Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman in 1844, yet she remained a slave. In 1849, the farmer who owned her died. Then she ran to the home of a white woman who had offered to help her.This woman told her how to reach another home where she could hide. Harriet Tubman went from place to place in this way. This was how the Underground Railroad operated. Finally,she went into the northern state of Pennsylvania. During the next ten years,she led an expanded Underground Railroad,and helped 300 slaves escape.Harriet Tubman found another way to fight against slavery during the Civil War. She went into the southern states to spy(做间谍) for the North. After the Civil War,Harriet Tubman settled in New York State. She gave speeches to raise money for better education for black Americans, worked for women's rights and sought help for older adults who had been slaves.Harriet Tubman died in 1913.By that time, she had been recognized as an American heroine(女英雄).1.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The Underground Railroad.B.The history of American slavery.C.Harriet's hard life and bravery.D.Harriet's fight against slavery.2.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The Underground Railroad was a way to freedom.B.Everyone knew that there was a way to free land.C.Black people were cared about by many white people.D.Black people looked down upon white people.3.From Paragraph 4, we learn that when the Civil War broke out, Harriet________.A.worked for the SouthB.did a lot of work for the patients as a doctorC.helped everyone to go to schoolD.got secret information for the North4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.Harriet was recognized as a heroine.B.Harriet fought against slavery in many ways.C.Harriet helped only black people in her life.D.Harriet helped black people to get better education.BTanzania Tarangire is a national park in Tanzania. The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited it to see what it was like.One of the first sightings upon entering the park I found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us Tarangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large groups of elephants. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched(搔)themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch(痒).To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree. Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees.As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us there were lions all around us. Most of them were resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses(尸体)—it seemed as if the resting lions had killed them!Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see!We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard there!We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.So I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire,and that I've inspired you to add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel plan.7.How did the author travel in Tanzania Tarangire?A.By bicycle. B.By train.C.On foot. D.By car.8.What does the author think of his trip in Tanzania Tarangire?A.Boring. B.Enjoyable.C.Dangerous.

Nick Harris said he didn't know where he found the strength, but somehow he managed to lift a car off the 6-year-old girl last week,earning himself the title of superman. “I just think it' s a Christmas miracle,”Harris said.Harris said he has tried time and again to recreate(使再现)the surprising show of strength because instinct(本能) sent him running to the 6-year-old' s aid. “I just ran over there,saw the tire on her,and lifted the car up to get her out from underneath the car,”Harris said. “I don't know how I did it. I've tried three or four times since then.”Harris was dropping off his daughter at Eugene Field Elementary Friday morning when he saw a car back out of a driveway,pinning(压住) the girl under its tire. That girl turned out to be his daughter's best friend.“I was expecting her to have bad injuries,”Harris said. “I've had broken toes, because a car just backed over my foot. And here this whole car was on top of her. I wasn't expecting it to turn out a s wonderful as it did.” The first grader was flown to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City by an air ambulance(救护车),but didn't have to stay long.“They all call me superman now,”Harris said. “I'm just a dad. I'm just a dad that was in the right place at the right time. And I was finally able to help and I did something good.”9.Why was Harris called a superhero?A.He saved a girl by lifting a car.B.He won in a Christmas competition.C.He pushed off the car on his daughter.D.He was always ready to help his neighbors.10.Harris tried many times to repeat his action in order to________.A.prove he had great strengthB.find out how he had done itC.show his daughter he was a heroD.make people believe what happened11.Where did the accident happen?A.Near Children's Mercy Hospital.B.Around his neighbor's home.C.Outside a supermarket.D.At a school gate.12.What can we learn about Harris?A.He was fond of the movie Superman.B.He had the accident while backing his car.C.He drove the injured girl to the nearby hospital.D.He was once run over on the foot by a car.DA typical day at work for Cesar Millan might include putting on his running shoes and taking a four-hour jog with 40 dogs—large and small, young and old. Amazingly, most of those dogs belong to him. The rest are at the heart of his work; they are troubled dogs sent to Millan to learn good behavior.Obviously Millan, star of the TV show “Dog Whisperer” and author of the best-selling book Cesar's Way,has a special gift for working with these animals.Growing up on a farm in Mexico, Millan knew he wanted to work with dogs. His first job, at age 15,was helping a veterinarian (兽医).He was so good at calming scared dogs and handling all kinds of situations that people started calling him “el perrero”,Sp anish for “the dog boy”.Since then, he has built a rewarding career around his favorite animal.“My grandfather taught me at an early age not to work against nature,”he explains. In nature, dogs_are_pack_animals. They form a group and follow one leader. Millan's specialty is teaching people to be pack leaders for their dogs.Studying dogs on the farm where he grew up,Millan realized they need lots of exercise to be calm. He explains his approach,“Exercise and discipline first,and then affection!”He says alot of people get it backwards because they don't realize what dogs really need. Therefore, while he trains dogs, he teaches owners to understand that their pets need rules. He's helped famous people like Oprah Winfrey and movie star Will Smith and everyday people too.To find the right career, Millan encourages kids to do what they enjoy. “A lot of people don't realize I've been working with dogs for more than 20 years—long before my TV show or book. Success followed me because I was following my dream of being the best dog trainer in the world.”13.By saying “dogs are pack animals”(in Para.4),the author means that________.A.dogs like to live with peopleB.dogs are easier to be trainedC.few dogs can be leadersD.dogs live in groups14.Which of the following would Millan agree with?A.Dogs are quiet animals.B.Dogs should be trained on farms.C.Rules are more important than love in training dogs.D.Famous people have more problems in training dogs.15.What does Millan advise children to do when it comes to choosing a job?A.Do what interests them.B.Never give up and they will succeed.C.Share their ideas with many other people.D.Receive training long before they succeed.Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)“No man is an island” is a wellknown line from John Donne's Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago.

河南省新野县第三高级中学2015届高三9月第二次阶段考英语试题命题时间:2014.09.27 第一部分:阅读理解(共两分,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,从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ABefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around ,hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:"So what happened today?"It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher hadnot seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.1. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he_______________A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension2. Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first?A. She didn't want to make it worse.B. She didn't mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.3. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by____________________A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher's feelingsD. avoiding making critical remarks4. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author's warning.D. He was sad for the author's misunderstanding.BLondon's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres , it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like aspire(尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the buildingaren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅杆)of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.5. London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of_______.A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height6. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to __________.A. change London's skylineB. inherit London's traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors7. The critics who refer to social division think Shard ________.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only with Londoners8. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London?D. The Shard. A Change for the Better?CDo you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone's life?If yes, don't care about sex or age!

The one who has patience to listen to others.D. The one who can use English to communicateDWorking with a group of baboons(狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food ,hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (知的) tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.第二节:(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)There is an English saying:" 16 " Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 17Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 18 If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs .The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 1920 They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one's life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart heating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter" helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G.

高二上学期第三次周考英语试题一、听力:(共20题,每小题1分,共20分)二、阅读理解(每小题1.5分,共22.5分)AWHEN cars drive in a circle,do they go around a “traffi c circle” or a“roundabout”?The first choice sounds strange to me,as we don't say it in Britain.but I've made Americans laugh for minutes at a time just by saying“roundabout”before.Irish author George Bernard Shaw is believed to have said.“England and America are two countries separated by the same language.”This idea might seem strange, but I think of it whenever I have this type of communication problem with my friends from across the Atlantic。
Often,American people simply don't know who I'm talking about.Many times I've had to explain who a British celebrity(名人)is,even though I assume (猜想)that they must be well-known outside of the UK.It's sometimes seems like most Americans don't know who UK Prime Minister David Cameron is,yet in the UK we know all about Paris Hilton and otherunimportant US celebrities—hardly fair!There are also many differences in meaning between words and idioms in our two forms of English.I once tried to break up an argument between two Americans by saying,“Come on,leave it out!”(meaning“stop doing or saying that”)but they just turned to me looking confused (困惑的),wondering what exactly they were supposed to“leave out”.At least the argument finished!Another unexpected problem with the two types of English happened to me when I was a teacher. I realized that sometimes when I wrote a word with a British spelling, such as“colour”with a“u”,my students would think that I had spelled it wrong and try to correct me.Having said a11 of that,I should say that I do really like the way American English sounds,and I've got nothing against people learning it—just “leave it out” if you're thinking of correcting my spelling!21.The author mentions the word“roundabout”in the first paragraph to .A.introduce some confusing English wordsB.show how self-centered Americans areC.give an example of the difference between American and British EnglishD.list a group of words that sounds strange to British people22.According to the third paragraph the author found that .A.American people are more interested in sports than in entertainmentB.American people do not know much about British celebritiesC.British people care 1ess about the life of celebrities than American peopleD.British celebrities are not very well known in other parts of the world23.The author's American friends were confused when he said “leave it out” because_________.A.the phrase doesn't exist in American EnglishB.the phrase does not have the same meaning in American EnglishC.they didn't expect the author to break up their argumentD.they were not sure of the author's attitude toward their argument24.The text mainly makes its points .A.by making contrasts B.by giving examplesC.by explaining famous quotes D.by making classificationsB“IT'S never too late to have a happy childhood,”the author Tom Robbins once said.I think it is never too late to need Dad.When we're little,Daddy is in charge of the world as we know it.Yes,I know we have a president,and some countries have kings or prime ministers,but they are really not in charge of the world.Dad knows everything.he can do anything,and he is always right.“Hey,Daddy! Where is Helsinki(芬兰首都赫尔辛基)?”I would ask when I was younger.My father would reply:“If you put things away where they belong,you would know where they are.”I said:“Hey,Daddy! I really need to know about Helsinki.”He replied:“OK,let's get the encyclopedia(百科全书).”“Hey, Dad! Can I use the car for a date tonight?”He replied:“Yeah.Be home before midnight.”When I arrived home at 2:30 am,Dad was up waiting.we don't understand about love and anger when we're kids.Dads yell and shout,and we don't realize that it's because they care.We think it's because they have to be tough.Not this time.He said:“Thank God you're safe.Go to bed,we'll talk about this in the morning.”He always helped.“Hey, Dad! I got into trouble at school today. I didn't really do anything wrong.My teacher won't listen to me.”“I'll listen.What happened? Is that really what happened?”The next day, Dad was at my school,talking with my teacher, fixing the misunderstanding.I could always count on Dad.Regardless of what he knows or doesn't know, Dad almost always cares,and can be counted on to be on our side.The small things Dad does for us make us feel valuable and important.“Hey, Dad! Do you have 50 bucks I could borrow?”He does.Even if he doesn't,he will find it.He feels embarrassed when we pay him back.and he says:“You don't have to”, but we do because it is important to do the right thing.Dad taught us that.Dad tells you about traditions.“How is today different from other days?”Of course he knows, and knows how to explain.It is he who takes charge and knows how to do everything.He is the leader, and he is in charge of our world.The captain of the ship,out on the open sea.AnonymousTHE first day of school is always a chaotic(混乱的)time.For many students in the US,this year was even more so.It was all due to one extra school policy.They are now required to wear clothes that meet a new standardized dress code(规范).According to the handbooks of all high schools in Allentown,Pennsylvania,students must wear short- or long-sleeve polo shirts and khaki or black pants.Skinny jeans,leggings(紧身裤),and open toe shoes are not allowed.Allentown schools are not alone.Overall,about 57 percent of American public schools nowhave a “strict dress code”,up from more than 47 percent a decade earlier, said USA Today.Some students don't mind wearing a similar attire(服装)every day.“It takes away the daily fashion show and helps level the playing field a little bit with the haves and have-nots,”longtime school safety consultant Ken Trump told USA Today.But others aren't happy, claiming (声称)that uniforms rob students of individuality(个性).While school uniforms have been a popular topic to discuss recently in the US.however, in the UK there are much fewer questions about them-they are a tradition.School uniforms in England were first introduced during the reign(统治)of King Henry VIII in the l6th century.They became popular following the Elementary Education Act of 1870.The UK Department of Education's website states:“The Department strongly encourages schools to have a uniform as it can...contribute to the beliefs of a school and set the correct tone。
