A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5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。
高二上学期第一次月考英语试题 含答案
高二英语月考试题2018.9考试范围：Units1---3 考试时间：120分钟满分：150分一、听力部分（共30分）二、阅读理解(共30分）1.（8分）AFrancis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers(哲人)of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使).Two years later he went to England to study law.At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament(议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it ter,by doing experiments,the scientists could see that any one cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.（21）According to the passage we know that ________.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of EnglandB.Francis Bacon had good educationC.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23（22）It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for________.A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in natureB.his booksC.his method,inductive reasoningD.being a member of parliament（23）His essays gave many useful lessons on ________.A.studyingB.conversationC.friends and healthful livingD.All of the above.（24）The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means________.A.discovering general laws from particular facts or examplesB.reaching a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular caseC.studying things as they used to beD.studying things in a particular way2.（8分）BDogs are man's best friends.This everyday saying may contain some truth，but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like.For example，cats can be excellent house pets，too.People enjoy the friendship of cats.Cats love to keep close to their owners.Cats are quite playful.They love to run after balls，or play with anything hanging from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners play the game with them.Just like a dog，a cat can be trained to perform tricks（诡计）or avoid unwanted behaviour.Cats do not have to be walked.They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play，and they do their business in their litter boxes.So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their litter boxes.Washing a cat is almost never necessary because cats usually clean themselves.In addition，cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry.Unlike some pets，most cats willnot destroy the furniture when left alone.They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family.Unlike dogs，cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly.Also，cats don't often have “accidents”．Mother cats train their babies to use the litter box，and most cats will use it from that time on.Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals，especially as they grow older.（25）From the passage，we can learn that ______.A.cats would rather play with themselvesB.cats often play tricks on their ownersC.many people think dogs are man's best friendsD.cats sleep less than any other animal does（26）What can be concluded（推断） from the passage?A.Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B.Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C.Cats are afraid of being left alone at home.D.Cats don't like to clean themselves.（27）In the fourth paragraph，we can learn that cats are ______.A.playfulB.cuteC.politeD.noisy（28）Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D.3.（6分）Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A.live in groupsB.have large brainsC.are warmbloodedD.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4.（8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can losejobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means ______.A.citizensB.passengersC. populationD.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists' customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD.we can't build too many support facilities三、阅读填空(共10分）5.（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。

At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,”he wrote in his letter back,“and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn’t having it made;it’s getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It’s the journey,not the arrival,that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request:“Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:“Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end.”Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.66.Wh at was the author’s grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)_________________________________________________________________67.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________68.What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________69.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________70.Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?Give reasons in your own words.(no more than 20 words)_________________________________________________________________六：书面表达（满分20分）假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你校英语协会正在招募志愿者，来接待来访的外国中学生。

the global showpiece in28years.Not since1994–in a tournament(锦标赛)held,like this one,in Australia–had they won a medal of any colour.At the World Cup,China played a total of eight matches,winning six of them.They entered the final of a major international competition for the first time in almost three decades, before losing to defending champions the United States to finish runners-up for the second time in history.China’s performance at the tournament received much attention from Chinese people both at home and abroad,especially as the final fell on the country’s National Day.Chinese flags were waved and the national anthem(国歌)was sung in the stadium,giving people a feeling that the team was playing on their home court.Although losing the game,the team was met with praise and encouragement from Chinese netizens as people have walked away from a“medal-oriented”mentality,and started to accept more the spirit of sportsmanship and“perform your best”spirit.Many Chinese netizens said they were proud of the players for trying their best and fighting until the lastminutes which showed the true sportsmanship.The mental strength and quality of the Chinese women’s basketball team are even more valuable than being the runner-up in the World Cup,they said.The Chinese women’s basketball team is already the champion in our hearts,commented an internet user.“We should admit the gap

history.D．A special gift for the National Day.Some people often wonder whether they are fighting a battle with their genes to maintain a healthy weight.In fact,researchers have provided plenty of evidence that people are born with tendencies to be lighter or heavier.For example,studies of identical twins have revealed great similarity in their overall weight.Part of this similarity may be explained by the finding that some people are born to burn a lot of calories just through ordinary day-to-day activities while others are not.Those who are not are more at risk for weight gain.Researchers have discovered some of the actual genetic mechanisms(机制)that maymake some individuals more likely to be obese(肥胖的).For example,a gene has been found that appears to control signals to the brain that enough fat has been stored in the body in the course of a meal—so the individual should stop eating.The gene influences the production of leptin(瘦蛋白),which keeps appetite under control.If leptin doesn’t work well,it is likely that individuals will continue to eat.Thus the gene that controls leptin appears to have a critical influence on the potential for obesity.The confirmation that leptin plays a role in weight control has encouraged researchers to identify and understand other weight-related genes.Recent attention has focused on a gene called GAD2.GAD2helps control the amount of the neurotransmitter(神经递质)GABA．In general,when more GABA is available,appetite is increased.For that reason,people who have a form of GAD2that allows more GABA to be available may be at risk for overeating. You can see that GAD2is not directly an obesity gene.Rather it has an indirect influence on obesity through its direct influence on GABA．Genetic research holds out the promise of innovative solutions to obesity.Researchers hope that an understanding of the link between genus and weight control will enable them to provide new drug treatments.Nonetheless,even the most optimistic researchers provide a warning:“Innovative drugs will be effective only when they are used along with lifestyle changes.”8．What does the author want to explain by giving the example of twins?A．It is hard to maintain a healthy weight.B．Being fat or thin is genetic ally related C．The twins are usually of similar weight.D．An individual‘body can burn calorie. 9．What can make an individual more likely to put on weight?A．Poor appetite.B．All varieties of GAD2C．Effective leptin.D．Extra amount of GABA．10．What do researchers suggest people do?A．Adopt advanced means.B．Learn more about genetic effects.C．Keep good living habits.D．Change the weight-related gene. 11．What is the text mainly about?A．How does genetics contribute to obesity?B．What impact does eating have onweight?C．How many genus determine who is obese?D．Why do many people becomeoverweight?二、完形填空三、语法填空四、单词拼写五、书信写作56．最近某眼科医院对你校学生进行了视力调查，70%以上的同学都或多或少存在视力问题。

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, fromcloser to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technologyand reading, the report does little to counsel parents looking for dataabout the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out thatmany parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns aboutincreased screen time.The most hopeful datashared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples andimportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kidsand teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have morebooks in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often,and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of schoolapproaches, and school vacation reading lists loom ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make theirown summerreading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A . Children’s reading habits.B . Quality of children’s books.C . Children’s after-class activities.D .

I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wise they had places like min e—so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boy-friends over, talk on the phon e and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house, I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy(隐私)？Joan Edward’s reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.Be clear about the message you want to send.

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that. As certain as the sun will rise, our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.Honestly, we’ve done it to ourselves. We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result, we have made ourselves pay attention to every one of them. This is terrible, 37 Every time an e-mail interrupts you, it costs time, money, and brainpower.Here are some of my best tips to manage emails:38 You can’t get into work if you check emails every ten minutes. Instead, you should set certain times to check your inbox, like the top of every hour or every 90 minutes. Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.Scan your inbox. 39 At the same time, leave out everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.40 Instead of creating an email, try speaking with the person you want to communicate with. Often, a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email.e a phone.B.Set a schedule.C.Talk to the person.D.Email is our friend and the enemy.E.Because email can interrupt our work and life.F.Looking through the emails quickly can save your time.G.Email is becoming more and more important in our lives四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）7.（30分）I’ve read lots of stories about family memories．In those 41, I’ve found voice of sadness and longing．It’s true that so much in our daily lives makes us 42 all the time．We find ourselves with less and less time to spend with our 43and friends．I’ve had the same 44 myself．I used to have 45times with my grandfather when we lived together．When I was very young, I often enjoyed spending time in his 46, watching the flowers and watering the fruit trees．But as I grew up, I 47 became “selfish”．Once, when I was 6, we went shopping together．As we took the wrong bus and ended up getting 48 , unable to find our way back, I couldn’t stay 49and shouted rudely in his face．I was so stubborn that I wouldn’t say sorry 50 returning home, thinking I had done nothing wrong．Now I 51 how ridiculous I was at the time!

Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame（责备）competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one' s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.61. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition62. Why do some people favor competition according to passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.63. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means"_________”.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success64. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One' s worth lies in his performance compared with othersB. One' s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One' s achievement is determined by his particularD. One' s success is based on how hard he has tried.65. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.BBaths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins(废墟) of a water system(系统) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700's has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!By the 1700's doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as "The Great Unwashed!" In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (=necessary) to good health.66. A water system for baths was built by ____________over 3,000 years ago.A. the RomansB. the GreeksC. the AmericansD. the Europeans67. Dirty bodies can ____________ .A. ruin one's businessB. cause diseaseC. drive customers awayD. cause good health68. In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was .A. unimportantB. good for healthC. harmfulD. important69. The underlined word perfume probably means ____________ .A. a sweet smelling substanceB. good healthC. a strange smelling substanceD. large wealth70. Which of the following gives the main idea of the passage?A. Everybody in America takes a daily bath.B. A bath a day keeps the doctor away.C. Taking baths has become popular in the world.D. Bathing has become easier and cheaper.CThey once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws（人力车）can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities．Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution．In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new mode of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks．It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy," said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year．While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis' green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction．While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997．"It's better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train," said Ulf Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate．"It feels so free．""This is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin," said another traveler．In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage．"I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger．Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi．Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past．Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment．71．Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?A．Delhi, Berlin, Paris．B．Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi．C．Athens, London, Berlin．D．Berlin, Amsterdam, London．72．Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history．B．They have been banned because they are too cruel．C．The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily．D．Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer．73．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest?A．The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok．B．The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok．C．The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual．D．The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin．74．Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A．Rickshaws may need to pay tax for causing traffic jams．B．Rickshaws and taxis are treated differently in London．C．Rickshaws will eventually take the place of taxis．D．Rickshaws will always be a cheap means of transport．75. What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?A. He gives no personal opinion.B. He believes they will be of no use.C. He thinks they will reduce pollution.D. He thinks they are old-fashioned.五、短文改错（10分）下面短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

He may be able to get more money if he gives up teaching for business. But he is so proud of being a teacher that he takes pleasure in helping young people. He stays at school from morning till late afternoon and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than anyone whom I've ever known. I think it must be easier to learn history or maths than to learn how to become such a man. He scolds(责备) us when we do something wrong. He always teaches us to try to do better. We all wish tostudy with him as long as possible, but that may be impossible.

In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable（流行的）to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid --- one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be unwilling to do one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.46. In the writer’s opinion,_________A. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldB. all the social problems can’t be solved by educationC. education can solve most of the world’s problemsD. free education won’t help to solve problems47.

What is mainly discussed in the text?A. The type of educationB. The value of educationC. The means of educationD. The system of education50. What can we learn from the text?A. Work with hands is thought to be shameful in some modern countries.B. In all modern countries, free education has been fashionable.C. A perfect nation can solve all the problems of society.D. A professor is far more important than a farmer.BLarry Bird was born in 1965 in a small town in the Middle Western State of Indiana. He was tall, and good at playing basketball.

In early times, when men and women worked in groups to build a barn (谷仓) or harvest crops, they danced when the work was done. The music came from the violin for the most part, but if there was no one to play a musical instrument, clapping was used to produce the rhythm by which to dance. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn, or in a farm kitchen.A square is formed by four couples who stand facing the centre of the square. Each couple stand on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right.The caller is an important part of the dance, since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in demand.These are the names of some of the steps the dancers do: Form a square; Circle; Honor your partner; Swing your partner; Form a star. There are many more. As the callers tell the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern（图形）he calls.Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people.Special clothes are worn by some when dancing. This makes the dance more colorful to watch. The special clothes are different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colors with a pretty blouse. Men have colored shirts and western trousers that they wear only when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.Today in some parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or groups square dancing for fun.56.

For messages that need short words, the short messaging systems are preferred. In a public place, for example, it is better for people to send text messages than to talk loudly and disturb others with their conversation. It has its advantages, but sadly, there are also disadvantages.There have been several celebrities (名人）and TV shows raising the problem about accidents caused by sending or reading text messages while driving. It causes drivers to lose control or lose their concentration while driving.Text messaging may actually be more dangerous than talking while driving as it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road and onto the phone. It is a most dangerous thing to do while driving.The other disadvantage is the poor spelling habit that it develops among young people. It is natural for them to want to make a shorter form of the words so as to get it done quickly. However, they carry this through even when writing formal documents. Young people are becoming poor at spelling even simple words.Text messaging also brings about an impersonal(冷淡的) culture. People communicate with text messaging. And they say important things on their phone when they should actually be said in person.Culture changes along with its people and that is something that everyone knows will happen. What is sad is what it is turning into. Although many will argue that this kind of change is just like any other change that happened in the past, radical (激进的）in the beginning, common finally. Text messaging may be one of those but it is pretty hard to think about the time when the phone separates two people even when they are sitting side by side.61. We can know from the first paragraph that ____.A. text messaging is becoming less popularB. some people like listening to others' talk.C. people would like to make a phone call in publicD. many people prefer text messaging62. Young people cannot spell even simple words probably because _____.A. they often write formal documents.B. they often use a shorter form of the words to send messages.C. They don't work hard at their lessonsD. they only remember how to spell difficult words63. How many disadvantages does the text messaging have according to this passage?A. FiveB. FourC. ThreeD. Two64. The author's attitude towards the use of text messaging is _____.A .unconcerned B. amazed C. supportive D. worried65. The purpose of this passage is to ____.A .list the disadvantages of text messagingB. introduce the development that text messaging bringsC. describe the convenience that text messaging bringsD. compare the disadvantages and disadvantages of text messaging第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列旅游景点的信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
