She 14 looked at me and pulled me close. "John, you are here by choice, not 15 . We walked into the adoption agency and saw you and knew you were the one who was 16 us." My adoptive parents loved me as completely as any parents ever loved a child.Twenty years later, I married Kristi, my life's other love, and started a 17 . Afterwards, I got a sales job at a car dealership.I tried on and off to 18 my birth parents. By 2011 I had nearly given up on my dream of finding my birth parents. I just got a job 19 general sales manager of a Lexus dealership. One day in my second week there I was sitting at my desk, drinking. My personal cell phone rang. "John," Kristi said, "the adoption agency called about your adoption. A family is trying to reach you."Oh... My eyes burned with 20 I'd given up the search, but my birth parents hadn't.Three days later, on Mother's Day 2011, Jim and Kitty, my birth parents, arrived in Denver. I went to their hotel to meet them. I moved the dozen 21 I'd bought for Kitty to one hand and knocked. The door flew 22 Kitty reached me first. She took my face in her hands and 23 at me, refusing to let go. "I remember those eyes," she said.We spent the rest of the day together. We must have taken a thousand pictures.Later, back home I thought of my adoptive 24 . My dad died a few years ago, but my mom is still alive. I told that to her.

When reading magazines, some people might first go to the section on astrological predictions to determine what's in store for them in the coming day, week or month. This interest in astrology is especially strong at the beginning of a new year. Immediatelybefore a new year, many astrological experts are making predictions and giving advice. It seems that astrology is gaining popularity, but how popular is astrology and is it actually trustworthy?According to a study by , the word astrology is the most searched topic on the Internet, and a search for astrology on Google will bring up nearly two million websites. A study by the newspaper USA Today shows that a third of all Americans believe in astrology and spend almost $100 million a year on it. More surprisingly, the fastest-growing group of believers in America is made up of managers and professionals. No wonder Donald Regan, former White House Chief of Staff, said, "It's common knowledge that a large percentage of Wall Street brokers use astrology."The most famous astrologer is Nostradamus. Long ago, he correctly predicted events such as the Second World War, the killing of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, and most recently, the attack on the World Trade Center. Another famous astrologer, Frau Elsbeth Ebertin, accurately predicted that Adolph Hitler would become Führer—the leader after she was given Hitler's birth chart. In fact, Hitler himself was a believer in astrology. It's thought that he used an astrologer throughout the Second World War. The wife of former American president Ronald Reagan, Nancy, was also a firm believer in astrology. She employed an astrologer to ask about President Reagan's future safety after the president was shot.Though some people may consider astrology superstitious(迷信的), others think it is both a science and an art. Since the moon has an effect on the ocean, and 75 percent of the human body is made up of water, it is reasonable to say that astrology, a study of the stars, may affect humans as well. Therefore, if viewed in this way, astrology may be believable and it is easy to see why it is so popular.26. What is the main idea of the article?A. More and more people, especially stars, are interested in astrology.B. Astrology is becoming popular and has some basis in science.C. Famous astrologers can predict events correctly.D. People should use astrology every day.27. Which of the following events was NOT predicted by Nostradamus?A. The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.B. The killing of President Kennedy.C. The outbreak of World War Ⅱ.D. The birth of Führer Hitler.28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Astrology is one of the most popular topics on the Internet.B. Astrology can help change people's lives for the better.C. Only a few Wall Street brokers use astrology.D. Most of Americans believe in astrology.29. The author tends to think astrology is .A. boringB. puzzlingC. believableD. strangeBIf you want to write a movie script(脚本) yourself but don't know how, what would you do? The following can be of some help to you.There are only three parts necessary in a script: the Scene Heading, the Visual Exposition and the Dialogue.The Scene Heading begins with either "EXT." or "INT.". EXT. shows that the scene takes place outdoors, while INT. is used when the scene takes place indoors, for example, inside a room. After that, the exact place of the scene is given, such as "HOTEL ROOM". The last thing that must be mentioned is whether it is NIGHT or DAY.The Visual Exposition is a description of the action or movement that takes place on the screen, and should include ONLY what you would see if you were watching the screen. For the first time, and only the first time, a character appears in the script, the name is capitalized(大写), and should be followed by a short description that includes age and build, for example:The Dialogue follows the Visual Exposition. Each character's name should be capitalized in the center of the page, followed by the words that are to be spoken on the next line. Do not include any description of feelings before the lines of dialogue. If you consider it necessary to show a character gives a line in a certain way, for example, "angrily", this should be included in the Visual Exposition above the lines, such as, "Cynthia's face shows her anger". But remember, Visual Exposition should ONLY show action we can see.30. In a script the Scene Heading tells the story takes place.A. where and whenB. at what time of a dayC. what has happened whenD. on which day of the week31. If a story takes place in a park on a Friday morning, which of the Scene Headings is right?A. INT. FRIDAY-DAY.B. EXT. FRIDAY-NIGHT.C. INT. PARK-NIGHT.D. EXT. PARK-DAY.32. The Visual Exposition in a script only includes actions or movements .A. that some main characters doB. that can be seen on the screenC. that the writer of the story describesD. that happen in outdoor activities33. Which of the following short scripts is right?A. B.C. D.CCheerleading Is a SportThe New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport.A sport, according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors, is a "physical activity against a competitor, governed by rules under which a winner is declared, and the primarypurpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants". Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport.Cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to do a lot of movements, such as jumping, twisting and so on. It is not rare to see cheerleaders "flying" high up into the sky and falling to be caught by the "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation.Just as basketball and football have rules for competitive play, so does cheerleading. The performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.A cheerleader's goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, and creativity. Cheerleading is a team sport, so the performance is also awarded according to the cooperation and synchronization. That is to say, the girls need to act like one person. Otherwise, first place is out of reach.According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research, cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women, which is partly because they do not wear protective equipment. However, the main reason is that cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, the proper equipment is not provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.So why do many Americans think cheerleading is not a sport? It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or other objects. Wrestling, swimming, track, skating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls.Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.34. What is NOT the standard for sport according to the Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Advisors?A. Physical movement is required.B. The number of participants is limited.C. The aim of a sport is to beat the competitor.D. A winner is finally decided after the competition.35. The underlined word "synchronization" in paragraph 5 probably means .A. being creative in designing the movementsB. presenting a challenging performanceC. doing the movement at the same timeD. setting a practical competitive goal36. Which is the main reason for more injuries to women in cheerleading according to the author?A. Physical activities.B. Strong competition.C. Carelessness.D. Less recognition.37. What is the purpose of the author to write the passage?A. To discuss the standards of a sport.B. To introduce the sport of cheerleading.C. To invite people to take part in cheerleading.D. To suggest improving cheerleading equipment.DConsumer Behavior"Consumer behavior" is the behavior that consumers, either people or organizations, show in seeking, purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of (处理掉) products and services. The study of consumer behavior is the study of how people make decisions to spend their available resources on products and services.All consumers face varying problems to which solutions are vital to the existence of most people, and the economic well-being of all. The process is complex, as choices must be made regarding what, why, how, when, where and how often to buy an item. The answers to these questions would provide companies with important input for product design improvement and marketing strategy.The person who purchases a product is not always the only user of the product. Nor is the purchaser necessarily the person who makes the decision or pays for the product. Thus the marketplace activities of people have three functions: the consumer, the person who uses the product or service; the purchaser, the person who carries out the activities to get the product or service; and the payer, the person who provides the money or other objects of value to obtain the product or service. Marketers must decide whom to direct their marketing efforts toward. For some products or services, they must find the person who is most likely to influence the decision. Some marketers believe that the buyer of the products is the best choice; others believe it is the user of the product, while still others play it safe by directing their promotional efforts to both buyers and users.In addition to studying how consumers use the products they buy, consumer researchers are also interested in how people dispose of their once-new purchases when they are finished with them because the marketers must match production to the frequency with which consumers buy replacements. It is also important to society as a whole, as solid waste disposal has become a major environmental problem that marketers must address in their development of products and packaging. Many companies have begun to reproduce old components to install in new products, because reproducing is often cheaper, easier and more efficient than recycling.38. What does "consumer behavior" study?A. What makes people satisfied with products or services.B. When the producers make improvement on product designs.C. How people decide to spend money on products or services.D. How often people purchase products or services in real life.39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Payers of products or services are in fact purchasers.B. Purchasing decisions are not connected to people's well-being.C. Marketers agree to direct their promotional efforts to only users.D. Planning ways of exposing products to potential consumers is marketers' job.40. From the passage we can learn that companies would prefer to .A. make their products last a longer timeB. pay for the cost of recycling materialsC. spend more money on packagingD. limit the choices of consumers四、阅读与表达(问答式)(共4小题;共8分)Sleepover SecretsSleepovers are most popular for kids from eight to fourteen. At the first sleepover party, keep the guest list short, two or three are enough.Everyone knows that a sleepover rarely involves much sleeping, so be prepared with lots of games, snacks and activities.ActivitiesAlthough most preteens will keep themselves entertained, it's a good idea to plan a few activities. Some parents like to do one major activity outside the home such as going to the movies, bowling or swimming. Not only does this add structure to the event, it should also make guests tired enough that they actually sleep!FoodJunk food at sleepovers is a time-honored tradition, but don't offer too much. It's fine to have some chips, and a cake is a must, but add some fruits or vegetables so you don't end up with a party full of stomachaches. Offer bottled water or juice instead of soda with caffeine, or they'll never get to sleep. Sleepover guests are old enough to make their own food so consider planning a kitchen activity. Make-your-own-bars (pizza, foods, sundaes) work well for this age group.BedtimeWhen should you turn the lights out? It depends on the ages of the guests. Younger children should probably be in their sleeping bags by 10 p.m., older ones by midnight. Avoid quarrels about who sleeps next to whom by suggesting the guests arrange their sleeping bags in a starburst pattern with heads in the middle. For guests ready to go to sleep before others, consider putting them in a guest room. If this is a first sleepover, be prepared for a guest who wants to go home. Be certain you have a way to reach all the parents in case this happens. Before you call the parents, however, try to reduce the guest's fears. A child who's afraid of the dark may be comforted by a dim(昏暗的) night light.(Sleepover: A night spent by children or young people at a friend's house.)根据短文内容,完成下列小题。

That was August 6, 1962. Her father had promised her 21 things. One was not to pull her out of the water 22 she asked. The other was to give her a red sports 23 if she made it.In gay spirits Trudy 24 out, swimming strongly. All the swimmers started at 7:09 in the morning. Her father and the trainer were going along in a boat beside her. At ten o’clock, rain began falling.25 , Trudy trod (踩) water while drinking and eating a chicken leg. Then she started swimming 26 . The wind was 27 and the sea became rougher. Late 28 the wind became even worse. The trainer thought it was useless trying to 29 . He called to Trudy to 30 .“No human being could do it in this weather,” he said, “so it’s 31 to go on.” However, her father shouted, “Don’t grab her.

In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.“Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure, especially from kids from richer families. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.Not all families will buy cars for their children. In cities with subways (地铁) and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban(郊区的) areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents think carefully before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17.Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decisi on, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said. “But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?41.The story is mainly about _______.A. the recognized point between childhood and adulthoodB. American teens want to drive a car when they turn 16C. whether teenagers should have a carD. the fact that it’s safer for teens to drive a car at an younger age42. Which of the following is not one of the reasons that kids want to have a car?A. With a car, it would be easy to move around.B. A great number of teenagers have cars.C. Having a car would mean more excitement.D. Parents’ su pport for kids to have a car at an early age.43.Which of the following is not true?A. Some of Chad’s friends have cars.B. When deciding whether to buy a car for their kids, safety weighs heavily on many parents’ mind.C. In the US, 16 is considered the point between childhood and adulthood.D. More kids from cities own cars than those from the countryside.44.The word “license” in Paragraph 2 means closest to ______.A. driving permitB. ID cardC. learner’s permitD. test result( B )How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle (丛林), filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated . "Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we are cutting them from their future,” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids.A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener ". But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or to do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:--- Don't put the PC in the child's room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.--- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online,--- Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.--- And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.45.What is the best way to protect children from improper materials?A. To talk to them and persuade them to tell right from wrong.B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.C. To fix a content screener on the computer.D. To buy some search engines for children.46.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet.C. Search engines can help children to select materials fit for them.D. Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.47.According to the passage, we can infer that _____.A. softwares fit for children want programming.B. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet will be protected by lawD. a child who is on-line is in danger48.What does the passage tell us most?A. Education.B. Search engines.C. Precautions.D. Software.( C )GET YOUR DEGREE AT HOMEHave you ever wondered what a Degree might be worth (值得) to you in your job or career?

So they live on city streets .United Nations Children’s Fund says most of these children do not receive education or health care (卫生保健).The private organization known as “Child Hope USA” is trying to do something to help these children . The group has many goals. Child Hope USA wants to stop the spread of AIDS and the use of illegal (非法)drugs among children . It wants to protect young girls from being mistreated sexually. It wants to tell children how to protect themselves, how to survive conditions on the streets and how to feel good about themselves.Child Hope USA is trying to set up educational programs for children. It is working with local groups to get their help in protecting the rights of street children .And it Is trying to make international development groups more informed about street children. Some children begin living on the streets when they are five years old or younger .Four —year —olds can be found selling goods on the street corner or begging for food and money .Some of these children have lost their families because of wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Some are helping their families earn enough money to survive.Study shows that more than one million children live and work on the streets in the Philippines .Seven million children live on the streets in Brazil .About 250 thousand children live on the streets of Mexico. Child Hope USA works closely with international and local groups. It has offices in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, Britain, Canada and the United States. Child Hope USA also works to improve child labor (童工) laws . In 1992, Pakistan made new laws to control child labor.

I had never believed my geography teacher when he told us there were more people in London than in the whole of my country. I thought he had just said it to make his lesson more interesting, but I believed him now.However, I got to my little hotel at last. The first thing that took my eye was the porter, a big fat man with a round pink face like an advertisement(广告)for babies’ food. Then I met the manager. He rubbed his hands all the time as if he was washing them and smiled without stopping. What he said I could not understand, though I had learned English at school. I said to myself, “Perhaps he doesn’t speak it ve ry well---some English people don’t”. But I told him my name, and he smiled again and told one of the boys to show me up to my room. Ten minutes later I was lying in a hot bathwashing off the last dusty remainders(残余物)of the continent. Another ten minutes I was under the bedclothes and fast asleep.When I woke the next morning, I felt hungrier than I had ever felt in my life before. I seemed to have a hole instead of a stomach. I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dining-room.The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared myself very carefully for what I must say. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure that “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right pronunciation and had stood in front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.The waiter asked me something I could not understand, but I spoke only one prepared word, “breakfast”. He looked at me in a puzzled way, so I repeated it, still he did not understand. It was unbelievabl e that English people didn’t understand their own language. The waiter shook his head, bowed and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought the manager with him. I was feeling slightly annoyed(不高兴), but I said, “ breakfast”. The manager smiled and washed his hands, but looked as helpless as the waiter. I took out a pencil and wrote on the table napkin, “BREAKFAST”.I had never seen such surprised faces in my life--- so perhaps I did not pronounce it correctly after all.A little later the waiter brought a tray with tea, toast, butter and marmalade--- enough to feed a small army. I was hungry, and I left nothing. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little surprise. In another minute he brought another tray with a huge portion of bacon and eggs. He must have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs and ate on steadily, wondering all the time whether I would possibly clear that plate.57.From the passage we know that the writer was ______.A. EnglishB. not a strangerC. a foreignerD. a native58.Why did the waiter bring another tray filled with food? Because the writer ______.A.ordered againB.still looked hungryC.ate up everything on the plate instead of leaving a little to show that he had had enoughD.knew nothing about table manners59. We can possibly arrive at the conclusion that after breakfast the writer ______.A.would suffer(难受) because of having too muchB.enjoyed his breakfastC.would take great interest in English breakfastD.would refuse to settle the bill60. The main idea of the passage is ______.A.breakfast in EnglandB. a foreigner’s experience in EnglandC. a journey to the continentD. the importance of learning English四.书面表达:假设你是李平,最近参加了由某电视台举办的中学生英语演讲比赛并获奖,该台准备组织获奖者去北京参加一次英语夏令营活动,现就有关事项征求你的意见。

There were streets There were streets and and fountains, fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread —a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup. Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 64.

But his intelligence comes at a cost. His parents must keep him intellectually simulated (启发)while making sure he is like any other little boy. Mark has been attracted by the way how the world works since he was a baby. When he was 3, Mark was reading fluently, mostly self-taught. His parents haven't been able to keep him away from books since. "I tried many times to stop him reading. We worry about his crazy fond of reading because he constantly wants to read every-thing whatever it is.ǁA psychologist at the Centre for gifted children tested Mark and gave him an IQ of 200. The average child of Mark's age has an IQ of 100. At 200, Mark is a genius-even compared with other child geniuses. "With children like Mark you can tell that's a bright child as soon as they walk in. They just have this sort of intensity, and maybe they're not so good at communicating with people," the psychologist said. "He will never fit perfectly into a class where he's with children of his age.ǁBut Mark's mother worries about the "socially isolated" labels. "Nobody wants their child to grow up with that image. I want him to communicate with others freely, but not to be frustrated academically, so it's really hard to find a balance," she says. Helen Dudeney from the Talented and Gifted Children Association says Mark is one in a million with such a high IQ. She points out that geniuses are still rare and difficult for the public education system to handle. "The lack of coping comes because teachers aren't trained in teaching gifted children," says Dudeney. Helen believes it's also extremely important for them to be recognized and supported in their talents. Mark's parents are trying to figure out how best to help Mark. At the moment, there are few options. Mark finds first year work boring and simple, but he must learn to complete the work. His mother says, "We just want to be happy. Just to have a happy childhood and want to go to school every day .ǁ67. By saying "But his intelligence comes at a cost. ",the author means that A. Mark must pay for his intelligence at a high price B. Mark's intelligence brings him negative effects at the same time C. Mark's intelligence results from his parents D. Mark's parents make Mark clever at all costs 68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Mark's parents are very satisfied with his love for reading. B. Mark began to teach himself reading at the age of 3. C. Many child geniuses are not good at communicating with others. D. It is hard for parents to bring up a genius. 69. If there are 6. 6 billion people in the world, the number of geniuses with an IQ of 200 will be ________.A. about 4,400 B. about 5,500 C. about 6,600 D. about 7,700 70. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A genius' craziness for books B. The life of the genius' parents C. The burden of being gifted D.

北京市西城区2014-2015学年高二下学期期末考试英语口试试题 Word版含答案
北京市西城区2014 —2015学年度第二学期期末试卷高二英语口试文章1A TEACHER in New York decided to do a class project on recognition. She gave each student three blue ribbons with gold letters reading: “Who I Am Makes a Difference.” The students went out to find somebody to honor. The person would get a ribbon and give the extra ones to a third person to keep it going.One boy went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss. He told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative talent. He gave the surprised boss the last extra ribbon and asked him to find somebody else to honor.That night the boss went home to his 14-year-old son. He told the boy what had happened and said: “I want to honor you, son. My days are really busy and when I come home I don’t pay a lot of attention to you. Sometimes I shout at you for not getting good enough grades in school and for your bedroom being a mess, but somehow tonight, I just want to let you know that you do make a difference to me. Besides your mother, you are the most important person in my life. You’re a great kid and I love you!”Hearing this, the boy started to cry and couldn’t stop. He looked up at his fathe r and said through his tears: “I was planning on leaving home tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”Questions:1.What did the teacher give to each student in the class project?2.What kind of people did the student go to find?3.Why did the boy honor the junior manager?4.How did the junior manger think of his boss?5.Why did the son of the boss cry?Possible answers:1.The teacher gave each students three blue ribbons in the project.2.They need to find someone to honor.3.Because the manager helped the boy with the career planning.4.In the manager’s eye, the boss was a creative talent.5.The son of the boss cried because he thought his father didn’t love him. Now he knew that hisfather loved him very much, so he was moved to tears.2A TEACHER began his class by holding up a glass of water. He asked the students: “How much do you think this glass weighs?”“Fifty grams (克)!” “One hundred grams!” “One hundred and fifty grams!” the students answered.“I don’t know either,” said the teacher. “What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”“Nothing,” the students said.“OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?”“Your arm would ache (疼痛),” said a student.“You’re right. Now what would happen if I held it for a day?”“Your arm would go numb (麻木的). You may have to go to hospital!” said another student, and all the students laughed.“Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” asked the teacher.“No.”“Then what caused the pain and numbness?”The students were puzzled (困惑的).“What should I do now to get rid of the pain?” asked the teacher again.“Put the glass down!” said a student.“Exactly!” said the teacher. “Life’s problems are something like this. Hold them for a few minutes in your head and they seem OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to make y ou numb. You will not be able to do anything.”It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life. But what’s even more important is to “put them down” at the end of every day.Questions:1.What did the teacher hold in his class?2.What would happen if the teacher held it for a long time?3.How to get the pain and numbness?4.What did something that you held stand for?5.What can you learn from the teacher’s lesson?Possible answers:1.He held a glass of water.2.He would feel pain and numbness.3.Put down the glass of water.4.They stood for the problems in your life.5.It is important to think of problems and challenges in life, and it is more important to put “putthem down” at the end of each day.。

The thought of getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting to me. I saw it as a boring and repetitive task. But I knew potential graduate schools would likely view my lack of field experience as a hole in my application letter. My mother also thought I should work for a few years to explore my interests before pursuing further education. So I decided to apply for field-based summer positions after graduation.After landing a job assessing the sage grouse habitat in Utah, I found myself in the company of Sherel, a 75-year-old botanist and the leader of our field crew. On the very first day of the fieldwork, I noticed a special plant on the field. “Wonderful! Looks like you’ve got a Mahonia repens,” Sherel shouted exci tedly. I gently touched the plant with yellow flowers by my feet, “This one here? How can you tell it’s a Mahonia?” He paused briefly to admire the plant and then began his energetic description of the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset together, I texted my childhood friend. “Day I was actually kind of fun,” I started, “but we’ll see how long it takes before I get bored from just identifying plants in the field all day.”But as the weeks of fieldwork rolled by, the boredom I had expected never arrived. I came home from the field each night with sore legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain about different species of animals and plants, I discovered field days are about much more than identification. Each day is an opportunity to learn a little bit more. When the summer was over, I found myself in another field job, this time surveying forest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.I’m now a third-year Ph. D. student in ecology. Fieldwork may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but working with others helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it constantly reminds me that any task can present an opportunity to learn — as long as I am open to it.19. Why did the author join the fieldwork in Utah?A.To find out overall trends in data. B.To assess the sage grouse habitat. C.To improve his application letter. D.To realize his mother’s dream.20. On the first day of the fieldwork in Utah, the author ______.A.argued with Sherel B.complained to his friend C.became a leader of his group D.discovered a Mahonia repens21. What does the author think of fieldwork now?A.Easy but interesting. B.Boring but fruitful.C.Tiring but meaningful. D.Repetitive but demanding.22. What can we learn from the passage?A.We should explore fun in daily tasks. B.We should be open to new experiences.C.We should respect the people around us. D.We should be determined about our goals.An AI model can be used to detect stress in office workers based on how they use their mouse and keyboard. A new study suggests that a machine-learning model using these two elements was more accurate at detecting stress in people than a model that tracked their heart-rate data.“We saw that the models that just used the mouse and keyboard data performed better than the models that had the heart-rate data in it,” says Mart Naegelin. a Ph. D. student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and one of the study’s authors.Naegelin and her fellow researchers used machine-learning models to analyze data on keyboard-typing activity, mouse movements and heart-rate data. They also studied the data of a combination of two or all three of these elements to determine which performed best in terms of measuring stress. They found that the model trained on mouse and keyboard data performed better than the model that used mouse, keyboard and heart rates. Of the single-modality (形态) models, the heart-rate data performed the worst. “The test was conducted in an environment that simulated an office environment, so the results still need to be confirmed in real-life scenarios (情况),” Naegelin says.In the experiment, participants were divided into three groups. A control group carried out assigned tasks, such as planning meetings and collecting data, with no additional work. A second group at times answered questions from managers in person in a mock interview scenario while completing other assigned tasks. And members of a third group were, at certain points, interrupted with additional questions sent through anonline chat on top of tasks assigned to other groups. At regular intervals during the experiment, participants were asked to rate their stress levels through a computer questionnaire.Researchers learned that workers made longer, less accurate movements with their mouse, as well as more typing errors, when they were stressed. Shorter, more direct movements with the mouse were tied to lower stress levels. The study didn’t focus on why increased levels of stress are thought to affect muscle activity.The researchers say they believe a stress-detection system that logs keyboard and mouse movements might be beneficial as a self-help tool for employees alongside other initiatives to improve workplace mental health. But employee participation would need to be optional and based on informed consent (同意), and companies would need to commit to protecting user privacy.It remains to be seen how this technology will evolve and be adopted in practice, but the potential for AI to contribute positively to employee well-being is an appealing avenue for future exploration.23. What do we know from Naegelin’s study?A.Heart-rate data has little connection with stress.B.Mouse and keyboard data proves effective in stress detection.C.Mouse data performs worst in measuring stress among all models.D.Using more elements in a model increases accuracy in stress detection.24. What is Paragragh 5 mainly about?A.The research process. B.The research findings.C.The research purpose. D.The research background.25. What can we learn from the passage?A.AI models based on mouse and keyboard data have been widely applied. B.Naegelin’s study explains why muscle activity can affect stress levels. C.Employers need to respect employees’ privacy while detecting stress.D.A stress-detection system improves physical health at the workplace.26. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce a new model to detect stress.B.To compare different models in stress detection.C.To show the disadvantages of being overstressed.D.To state the importance of a stress-detection system.Frozen in time, a 125-million-year-old mammal attacking a dinosaur. A 39-million-year-old whale, the heaviest animal that ever lived. The oldest known jellyfish, from 505 million years ago. Paleontology (古生物学) produces newsworthy discoveries.Fossils (化石), moreover, provide direct evidence for the long history of life, allowing paleontologists to test hypotheses (假设) about evolution with data only they provide. They allow investigation of present and past life on Earth. Flows of biological diversity, appearances of new life forms and the extinctions of long existing ones, would go undiscovered without these efforts. But the headlines over exciting new fossils greatly underestimate the true importance of paleontology. Its real significance lies in how such discoveries brighten the grand history of life on Earth. From its beginnings, more than three billion years ago, to the present day, fossils record how life adapted or disappeared in the face of major environmental challenges.Paleontologists provide us with a unique vantage on modern climate change. They play an essential role in interpreting ancient environments, in reconstructing ancient oceans, continents and climates. Fossils provide key limitation on the climate models that are essential for predicting future climate change. And the fossil record gives important insights into how life will respond to predicted future climate conditions, because these have occurred before in Earth’s history.In addition, paleontology has provided a fundamental contribution to human thought: the reality of species extinction and thus of a world that has dramatically changed over time. In documenting the history of life, paleontologists recognized that many extinction episodes could occur suddenly, such as the event 66 million years ago that ended the dinosaurs. The search for the causes of past mass extinctions started pioneering studies from across the scientific spectrum (科学界), focusing on potential future threats to humanity.Not only do paleontologists know what happens to life when things go bad, they also know how long it takes for ecosystems and biodiversity to recover from these disasters, which can take far longer than modern humans have existed.Paleontologists thus provide a unique perspective on the nature and future long-term ecological impact of the current human-produced biodiversity crisis, the so-called Sixth Extinction, and therefore the importance of protecting modern biodiversity. The very concept of a Sixth Extinction would not exist without paleontologists documenting the first five.Paleontologists know that understanding life’s past is critical to anticipating and adapt ing to life’s and humanity’s future. Paleontology is important because it brings its unique and critical perspective to current challenges in climate change, biodiversity loss and the environment. Paleontologists can predict the future because they know the past.27. The first two paragraphs are written to _______.A.describe an event B.raise a questionC.present an opinion D.make a comparison28. What does the underlined word “vantage” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.A positive effect. B.A valuable suggestion.C.A quick decision. D.A comprehensive view.29. Which of the following would the author agree with?A.Ecological recovery takes shorter than imagined.B.Past lessons can help to predict the future threats.C.Paleontologists can handle the biodiversity crisis.D.Fossil studies focus on the causes of mass extinctions.30. What’s the best title for the passage?A.Paleontology: A Pioneering StudyB.Paleontology: A History RecorderC.Paleontology Tells More About Nature Than HumansD.Paleontology Is Far More Than New Fossil Discoveries三、选词填空31.

The other was to give her a red sports 23 if she made it.In gay spirits Trudy 24 out, swimming strongly. All the swimmers started at 7:09 in the morning. Her father and the trainer were going along in a boat beside her. At ten o‟clock, rain began falling.25 , Trudy trod (踩) water while drinking and eating a chicken leg. Then she started swimming 26 . The wind was 27 and the sea became rougher. Late 28 the wind became even worse. The trainer thought it was useless trying to 29 . He called to Trudy to 30 .“No human being could do it in this weather,” he said, “so it‟s 31 to go on.” However, her father shouted, “Don‟t grab her. Let her 32 .” At seven o‟clock the tides (潮水) turned 33 her. It was more difficult to move ahead. But Trudy still swam on.

In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.“Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure, especially from kids from richer families. “It‟s like you‟re not cool if you don‟t have a car,” she said.According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.Not all families will buy cars for their children. In cities with subways (地铁) and limited parking, some teenagers don‟t want them. But in rich suburban(郊区的) areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents think carefully before letting their kids drive.Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17.Chad said he has accepted his parents‟ decisi on, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said. “But I‟d rather be alive than driving, and I don‟t really trust my friends on the road either.”In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?41.The story is mainly about _______.A. the recognized point between childhood and adulthoodB. American teens want to drive a car when they turn 16C. whether teenagers should have a carD. the fact that it‟s safer for teens to drive a car at an younger age42. Which of the following is not one of the reasons that kids want to have a car?A. With a car, it would be easy to move around.B. A great number of teenagers have cars.C. Having a car would mean more excitement.D. Parents‟ su pport for kids to have a car at an early age.43.Which of the following is not true?A. Some of Chad‟s friends have cars.B. When deciding whether to buy a car for their kids, safety weighs heavily on many parents‟ mind.C. In the US, 16 is considered the point between childhood and adulthood.D. More kids from cities own cars than those from the countryside.44.The word “license” in Paragraph 2 means closest to ______.A. driving permitB. ID cardC. learner‟s permitD. test result( B )How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle (丛林), filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education and a few precautions (预防), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated . "Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can‟t be allowed to surf the Internet, we are cutting them from their future,” said an expert.Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids.A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener ". But this can‟t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or to do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:--- Don't put the PC in the child's room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.--- Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online,--- Tell your child not to give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.--- And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.45.What is the best way to protect children from improper materials?A. To talk to them and persuade them to tell right from wrong.B. To be nearby when they are surfing the Internet.C. To fix a content screener on the computer.D. To buy some search engines for children.46.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Surfing the Internet is the best way of educating children.B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet.C. Search engines can help children to select materials fit for them.D. Children‟s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress.47.According to the passage, we can infer that _____.A. softwares fit for children want programming.B. the Internet contains a lot of harmful sitesC. the Internet will be protected by lawD. a child who is on-line is in danger48.What does the passage tell us most?A. Education.B. Search engines.C. Precautions.D. Software.( C )GET YOUR DEGREE AT HOMEHave you ever wondered what a Degree might be worth (值得) to you in your job or career?

So they live on city streets .United Nations Children‟s Fund says most of these children do not receive education or health care (卫生保健).The private organization known as “Child Hope USA” is trying to do something to help these children . The group has many goals. Child Hope USA wants to stop the spread of AIDS and the use of illegal (非法)drugs among children . It wants to protect young girls from being mistreated sexually. It wants to tell children how to protect themselves, how to survive conditions on the streets and how to feel good about themselves.Child Hope USA is trying to set up educational programs for children. It is working with local groups to get their help in protecting the rights of street children .And it Is trying to make international development groups more informed about street children. Some children begin living on the streets when they are five years old or younger .Four —year —olds can be found selling goods on the street corner or begging for food and money .Some of these children have lost their families because of wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Some are helping their families earn enough money to survive.Study shows that more than one million children live and work on the streets in the Philippines .Seven million children live on the streets in Brazil .About 250 thousand children live on the streets of Mexico. Child Hope USA works closely with international and local groups. It has offices in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, Britain, Canada and the United States. Child Hope USA also works to improve child labor (童工) laws . In 1992, Pakistan made new laws to control child labor.

I had never believed my geography teacher when he told us there were more people in London than in the whole of my country. I thought he had just said it to make his lesson more interesting, but I believed him now.However, I got to my little hotel at last. The first thing that took my eye was the porter, a big fat man with a round pink face like an advertisement(广告)for babies‟ food. Then I met the manager. He rubbed his hands all the time as if he was washing them and smiled without stopping. What he said I could not understand, though I had learned English at school. I said to myself, “Perhaps he doesn‟t speak it ve ry well---some English people don‟t”. But I told him my name, and he smiled again and told one of the boys to show me up to my room. Ten minutes later I was lying in a hot bathwashing off the last dusty remainders(残余物)of the continent. Another ten minutes I was under the bedclothes and fast asleep.When I woke the next morning, I felt hungrier than I had ever felt in my life before. I seemed to have a hole instead of a stomach. I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dining-room.The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared myself very carefully for what I must say. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure that “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right pronunciation and had stood in front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.The waiter asked me something I could not understand, but I spoke only one prepared word, “breakfast”. He looked at me in a puzzled way, so I repeated it, still he did not understand. It was unbelievabl e that English people didn‟t understand their own language. The waiter shook his head, bowed and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought the manager with him. I was feeling slightly annoyed(不高兴), but I said, “ breakfast”. The manager smiled and washed his hands, but looked as helpless as the waiter. I took out a pencil and wrote on the table napkin, “BREAKFAST”.I had never seen such surprised faces in my life--- so perhaps I did not pronounce it correctly after all.A little later the waiter brought a tray with tea, toast, butter and marmalade--- enough to feed a small army. I was hungry, and I left nothing. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little surprise. In another minute he brought another tray with a huge portion of bacon and eggs. He must have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don‟t understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs and ate on steadily, wondering all the time whether I would possibly clear that plate.57.From the passage we know that the writer was ______.A. EnglishB. not a strangerC. a foreignerD. a native58.Why did the waiter bring another tray filled with food? Because the writer ______.A.ordered againB.still looked hungryC.ate up everything on the plate instead of leaving a little to show that he had had enoughD.knew nothing about table manners59. We can possibly arrive at the conclusion that after breakfast the writer ______.A.would suffer(难受) because of having too muchB.enjoyed his breakfastC.would take great interest in English breakfastD.would refuse to settle the bill60. The main idea of the passage is ______.A.breakfast in EnglandB. a foreigner‟s experience in EnglandC. a journey to the continentD. the importance of learning English四.书面表达:假设你是李平,最近参加了由某电视台举办的中学生英语演讲比赛并获奖,该台准备组织获奖者去北京参加一次英语夏令营活动,现就有关事项征求你的意见。
