安徽省舒城县2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题（二）（无答案）第一部分阅读理解（共两节满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AChristopher Reeve(1952-2004) was an American actor, famous for his film character of Superman.Reeve was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman.Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really requi red him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently.1. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life ___.A. gained a great successB. changed Reeve’s life completelyC. is just a relaxation for most audienceD. talks about serious political problems2 The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve ______.A. enjoyed different kinds roles related to high technologyB. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the dangerC. was an ambitious actor who intended to play all kinds of charactersD. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions3. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. popular fashionB. lovely and interestingC. of the present timeD. bad-tempered dog4. On May 27, 1995, Reeve _____.A. acted out the role of a lawyer in The BostoniansB. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysedC. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in TimeD. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource CenterBLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ____.A. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making he necessary sacrifices(牺牲)C. take place if here were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities7. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers inthat ______.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotions (情感)C. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentCThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I'll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed: "With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!"I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to takea step back, what does "friendship" mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble-as Sunny will do-then I don't have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends. But then, maybe that's plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.Friendships are different from relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy, resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions-kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothingmore from each other than pleasant company(陪伴) and an occasional listening ear.Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.8. Recently, _____ have left the office.A. 3 of my workmatesB. 4 of my workmatesC. all of my friendsD. at least three of my friends9. The write tells us that friendship and relationship are _____.A. quite differentB. exactly the sameC. more or less the sameD. not there in fact10. By citing(引用) "One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardlypossible.", the writer implies "_____".A. a true friend is hard to findB. so many friends willbring you troubleC. it's impossible to have three friendsD. making too manyfriends is no good for you11. By writing this passage, the writer wants to tell us _____.A. one of his friends will say goodbye to himB. you may make friends with your workmatesC. friendship is very precious (珍贵)D. the difference between friendship and relationshipDThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I haveBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environm ental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much tim e. Inaddition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said.12．What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.13．The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“”A. affectB. changeC. disturbD.reject14．According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere15．We can learn from the passage that businesses will .A. have a strong desire to reduce costsB. use the same logo in their marketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storing goods第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

安徽省舒城中学2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料（周考）试题（七）（无答案）第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ANew Zealand is an English-speaking country, but the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770.They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before— in the 14th century.For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris’ land. So in1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were 200,000 Maoris. By 1996 this number had fallen to 42,000.For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. In the 20th century the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, which is about 9% of the population. Most of them live in NorthIsland. They have a rich culture and a great love for singing and dancing.1. After the first visit to New Zealand, the British government showed little interest in it because___A. there were dark-skinned people living thereB. New Zealand was an island countryC. the Maoris didn’t know the English languageD. it was too far away from Britain2. When the British settlers first came to New Zealand, the native people_________A. were afraid of themB. were kind to themC. hated themD. fought against them3. Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers _________A. broke out in 1844B. made 42,000 Maoris lose their lives.C. never happened.D. lasted until nowBIs there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can’t be good at yo ur studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”4. The writer thinks that _____.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money5. What advice did the doctor NOT give the old man?A. Take long walks.B. Smoke more than one cigarette a day.C. Eat a lot of meat.D. Drink two glasses of red wine every day.6. The underlined part “he had never felt a healthierman” means “______”.A. he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again7. From the last sentence of the passage, we can learn ______.A. the man was a heavy smoker before seeing the doctorB. the man didn’t smoke so much before seeing the doctorC. the man didn’t smoke before seeing the doctor舒中高一英语第2页(共8页)D. the man began to learn to smoke before seeing the doctorCWaston won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver cup.“It isn't rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in…“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. Mr sPrag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. ‘He's only ten.’she said, ‘I've been told that he plays quite well.’“Well,as you can guess, I wasn't too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quick──and so it was.“Ｉsoon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board."“Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,” he said.“When I was ready?I looked up.He had gone off to play with hi s sister.I studied the board──and found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the winner── in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”8. When Mr Watson said, “It isn't rightly mine. It was won …”,he meant ____ two years before.A. he had played chess with a little boy for twenty-eight minutesB. he had had a chance to take part in an important gameC. he had learned how to play chess from a childD. he had learned a good game from a child9. Before the game, Mr Watson was quite sure that _________A. the boy played as well as he didB. he would be Southern Chess Master two years laterC. he could win the game easilyD. the boy would win the game quickly10. Why did David play tennis while he was playing chess with Watson? Because he _____A. had no interest in playing chess with adultsB. was not good at playing chessC. liked playing tennis much better than playing chessD. played chess much better than Watson11. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sometimes young children can beat adults in playing chess.B. Watson thought he could win the game quickly, and so he did.C. Watson learned something from David and won the silver cup.D. Watson would never forget the name of the boy.DTurning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes—a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life fora young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine—models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, a nd these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to舒中高一英语第4页(共8页)put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.12. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A. A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.13. Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in theirpassports because _____.A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fansB. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societiesC. models are sometimes looked down uponD. secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty14. What may be the author’s attitude towards modeling?A. It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B. He is in favor of young people to try modeling.C. Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties.D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.15. The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _________.A. doubtfullyB. excitedlyC. proudlyD.sadly第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Having congratulated the old man, the reporter asked a few q uestions.“To what do you owe your long life?”The old man thought for a moment and then holding up his ha nd and counting the items(条目)on his fingers, began,“ I never smoked, drank, or overate a nd always rise at six in the morning.”“But,” the reporter didn’t agree, saying,“ I had an uncle who ac ted in that way, yet he only lived to be eighty. How do you exp lain the cause of that?”“ He didn’t keep it up long enough,” was the calm reply.1.When did the reporter call on the old man?A .shortly after his birthday B. on his birthd ayC. at an interviewD. not long before his birthday2.The reporter was interested in _______.A. how the old man celebrated his hundredth birthdayB. why the old man never smokeC. how the old man manage to live so longD. what the old man usually drank or ate for his health3.After hearing the old man’s words, the reporter __________.A. wanted to live long, tooB. was not satisfied with his replyC. explained why his uncle live to be eightyD. thought it was reasonableBTo be successful in any aspect of life, you need to know when to use the carrot or the stick.Here are a few tips to help you decide whether it’s better to us e the carrot or the stick.With the kids舒中高一英语第1页 (共8页)舒中高一英语第2页 (共8页)The carrotWhen it comes to raising a kid, the carrot or the stick dilemma is quickly disappearing as too many parents take the carrot a pproach to the extreme. In child raising, the carrot should nev er be materialistic things. If you want to ask for good behavior with a reward, it should be with something that can’t be bough t, say, trust.The stickNowadays, no one likes to use the stick any more, or in my fat her’s case, the belt. I’m not overlooking child abuse, if you ev er want to call it that, but I am encouraging parents to toughen up a bit. You don’t want your kid to test your limits only to find out he can get away with it. If you want to raise a kid, raise th e hand and let him know it comes down on the second offens e.At the officeThe carrotPeople need encouragement and motivation to perform well. However, the carrot only really works well with employees who have already proved themselves. If you’ve got someone wh o can’t show up at the office before noon, the promise of a rai se isn’t going to do much. On the contrary, if there’s a guy wit h a good work moral, he’ll thrive (grow stronger) when you ad d a promotion to the picture.The stickWhen considering the carrot or the stick in the office, rememb er that, overall, the stick is the more practical method in the of fice. A wise man, who just happened to be an Italian, once sai d “It’s best to be both loved and feare d.”It’s nice to have ever yone love you, but running a business isn’t like running a famil y. You need to have the stick constantly raised.With the wifeThe carrotWhen it comes to marriage, always use the carrot. I’ve had a l ovely marriage for many years, and I’ve always stuck to the c arrot approach.Sometimes you catch more flies with honey, and sometimes it ’s the crack of a whip (鞭子) that gets the horse moving. Try not to use too many sticks at home; the carrot is much more fun.4. What is the best title of this passage?A. The Carrot or the Stick?B. The Introduction to the Carrot and the StickC. Tips in the Daily LifeD. The Advantages of the Carrot and the Stick5. According to the passage, the author’s father_______.A. often abused him in his childhood.B. applied the Stick in raising the child.C. beat him a lot with a belt.D. overlooked child abuse6. Which do you think is the best to be a good boss at the offi ce?A. Always using carrots.B. Eating a lot of carrots.C. Being both loved and feared.D. Using too many sticks.7. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. The author often gives more carrots to his wife to eat at ho me.B. The carrot is much more fun when it comes to marriage.C. On different occasions, the carrot or the stick is effective.D. You need the stick to get your horses to move faster occasionally.CHelen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known fo r putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92.To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure. Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or secon d reporter the president calls upon. It is an honor she has ear ned. Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best-challenge the president and other public officials to tell the pla in truth. She said, “We reporters’ priority (首要事情) is the people’s right to know- without fear or favor. We are the people’s servants.”Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920. All the nine Tho mas children were brought up to value education, and all wer e expected to make something of themselves through working hard. She made up her mind while still in high school to beco me a reporter after writing for the student newspaper. After re ceiving her bachelor’s degree in 1942, Thomas headed straig ht for Washington, D. C. in search of a newspaper job. Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News. Her duty inc luded fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper’s reportersand editors. The eager young woman found the atmosphere e xciting and was convinced she had made the right career choi ce.Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family. Once President Kenne dy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president’s family to his policies. She began attending the daily press br iefings at the White House as well as presidential press confe rences. Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy. Over the years.

舒城中学高一研究性学习材料（一）英语 2016.10.01 第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wro ng. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.1. What is the main idea of the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends2. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person_________ .A. who has been mistaken for anotherB. who has been blamed unfairlyC. who has treated friends badlyD. who has admitted his mistakes3. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _________.A. we have much in commonB. we know our friends’ mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wiselyD. we have know one another for long4. What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?A. Stick to our own prints of viewB. Avoid making mistakesC. Make an apology firstD. Change our lifestylesBAsk a bachelor（单身汉）why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less andless satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a gran dchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates (释放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car o r those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.5. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleB. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement6. Raising children, in the author’s opini on is ________ .A. a rewarding taskB. a funny jobC. a thankless jobD. a source of inevitable pain7. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于) ________ .A. hatredB.ignoranceC. prejudiceD. misunderstanding8. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. be able to distinguish happiness from funD. put up with pain under all circumstancesCWelcome to the Kampala Beach Hotel Reservations（预定）System.

A textbookB. A magazineC. The InternetD. A newspaperDHow words came into being is unknown. All we assume（推测）is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is whatwe call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.13. We learn from the text that language might have begun withA. expressionsB. actionsC. signsD. sounds14.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words.B. The importance of old wordsC. The relation of human experience with words.D. The gradual change and development of words.15. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully.B. Make musical speechesC. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

安徽省舒城县2016_2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题(二)(无答案)

安徽省舒城县2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题（二）（无答案）第一部分阅读理解（共两节满分40）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AChristopher Reeve(1952-2004) was an American actor, famous for his film character of Superman.Reeve was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman.Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. this film was a great success and inspired three sequels(续集). Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really requi red him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently.1. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life ___.A. gained a great successB. changed Reeve’s life completelyC. is just a relaxation for most audienceD. talks about serious political problems2 The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve ______.A. enjoyed different kinds roles related to high technologyB. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the dangerC. was an ambitious actor who intended to play all kinds of charactersD. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions3. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. popular fashionB. lovely and interestingC. of the present timeD. bad-tempered dog4. On May 27, 1995, Reeve _____.A. acted out the role of a lawyer in The BostoniansB. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysedC. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in TimeD. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource CenterBLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ____.A. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making he necessary sacrifices(牺牲)C. take place if here were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities7. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers inthat ______.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotions (情感)C. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentCThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I'll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed: "With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!"I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to takea step back, what does "friendship" mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble-as Sunny will do-then I don't have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends. But then, maybe that's plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.Friendships are different from relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy, resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions-kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothingmore from each other than pleasant company(陪伴) and an occasional listening ear.Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.8. Recently, _____ have left the office.A. 3 of my workmatesB. 4 of my workmatesC. all of my friendsD. at least three of my friends9. The write tells us that friendship and relationship are _____.A. quite differentB. exactly the sameC. more or less the sameD. not there in fact10. By citing(引用) "One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardlypossible.", the writer implies "_____".A. a true friend is hard to findB. so many friends willbring you troubleC. it's impossible to have three friendsD. making too manyfriends is no good for you11. By writing this passage, the writer wants to tell us _____.A. one of his friends will say goodbye to himB. you may make friends with your workmatesC. friendship is very precious (珍贵)D. the difference between friendship and relationshipDThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I haveBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. Inaddition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,”Mr. Morrison said.12．What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.13．The underlined word“inform”in Paragraph 2 probably means“”A. affectB. changeC. disturbD.reject14．According to Harry Morrison, businesses .A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsB. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersC. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsD. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere15．We can learn from the passage that businesses will .A. have a strong desire to reduce costsB. use the same logo in their marketingC. gain advantages by taking early actionD. attract more shoppers by storing goods第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.1. The writer thinks that .A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning EnglishB. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn EnglishC. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properlyD. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing2. According to the passage, which of the following is wrong?A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷).D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.3. When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?A. At the beginning of the readingB. At the end of the readingC. During the first readingD. After the firstreading4. This passage mainly tells us .A. students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionariesB. what were the defects of small two-language dictionariesC. why students should use large college edition dictionariesD. what dictionary students should choose and how to use itBTexting（发短信）walkers aren't just an annoyance to other walkers, Australian researchers armed with movie special-effects technology have determined scientifically that they're threats to themselves. Using motion-capture technology similar to that used for films, researchers concluded that texting while walking not only affects balance but also the ability to walk in straight line.“Some people like checking emails while walking to work in the morning” said the study co-author Hoorn, “but they may not know it has a serious effect on the safety of themselves”. Other facts h ave also proved this. A tourist from Taiwan walked off a pier(码头)near Melbourne last month while checking Facebook, bringing a sudden and icy end to a penguin-watching visit. Another person who was too wrapped up in his phone to notice dangers walked straight into the fountain in front of a shopping mall.The Australian study involved 27 volunteers, a third of whom admitted having knocked into objects while texting. They were asked to walk meters three times—once without phones, once while reading text and once while writing text, when eight cameras recorded their actions.They found the volunteers using the phone walked slower, and, more seriously, they locked their arms and elbows in like “robots”, which forced their heads to move more, throwing t hemselves off balance. “In a pedestrian（步行的）environment, inability to maintain a straight path would be likely to increase potential for traffic accidents”, said Mr. Hoorn. “The best thing to do is to step aside and stop, or keep off the phone.”Authorities world-wide have taken note. Signs on Hong Kong's subway system advise passengers in three languages to keep their eyes off their phones. Police and transport authorities have highlighted the danger in Singapore, where the Straits Times newspaper recently declared cellphone-distracted road crossing as “bad habit No. 2” contributing to the rising number of road deaths. Some . states, including New York and Arkansas, are considering bans on what they're calling phone jaywalking(走路不遵守交通规则).5. According to the passage, people texting while walking usually____________.A. put themselves in dangerB. do harm to their eyesC. do not influence other walkersD. can still walk straight6. Which of the following words has the closest meanin g to “wrapped up” in Paragraph 2?A. absent-mindedB. annoyedC.absorbed D. confused7. The two examples in Paragraph 2 are given in order to __________.A. prove texting walkers are threats to othersB. show texting walkers may harm themselvesC. analyze the causes of the dangerD. amuse the readers8. About the Australian study, we know that___________.A. texting walkers are exposed to greater possibility of traffic accidentsB. ten volunteers admitted having bumped into things while textingC. the volunteers were divided into three groups during the studyD. the volunteers using phones while walking moved normallyCNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often theyrelive（再次体验，重温） these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase（抹去）,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a had idea, While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity（特质）. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist（伦理学家）.9. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. an argument about the research on the pill10. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the emotional effects of memories11. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.DSAN FRANCISCO—A phone app（应用程序）in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots．City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns．In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think．Now San Francisco has found a solution — a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces．The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors（感应器）fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up．But the system could come with serious consequences. Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road．“It c ouldbe really distracting（使分心的）,” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois．City officials admitted the hidden problem. They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated．San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue) and which are full(red)．More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco’s app, which is available now only for the iPhone.12. What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?A. Benefiting iPhone users.B. Preventing traffic accidents.C. Making the traffic flow smoothly.D. Making full use of the parking spots.13. According to the text, San Francisco city officials ________.A. don’t consider the app distracting.B. believe more parking spots are needed.C. advise drivers to park cars slowly.D. are aware of the app’s disadvantages.14. The phone app mentioned in the text ________.A. is a bit slow in reactingB. can’t be downloaded to all phonesC. was introduced several years agoD. hasn’t been put into service15. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams.B. Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots.C. A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city.D. Drivers’ attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving.第二节（共五小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking, while a dog doing the same signals giving in.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”．What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.1. The unde rlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. earlyB. quicklyC. sweetlyD. violently2. Some cats and dogs may fight when .舒中高一英语第1页(共8页)A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they are introduced at an early ageD. they misunderstand each other's signals3.

Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing(创作) the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as “would you really marry a woman who works?” And today it’d be “would you marry one who doesn’t?”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling i t “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he brought her typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.5.

A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.D. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.CSmoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥) 一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.8．The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A. give an exampleB. introduce the topic of the passageC. make an argumentD. show the main idea of the passage9．Most genetic changes happen because of .A. people’s condition at birthB. environmental pollutionC. people’s bad living habitsD. heart disease and cancer10．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to .舒中高一英语第3页(共8页)A. the cementB. the footprintC. the harmful effectD. the genetic change11．Which of the following statements is true?A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smokingC. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.DWhen The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate (重要奖项获得者尤指诺贝尔奖)by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect（反映）life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changing(1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink（下沉）like a stone. For the times they are a-changing!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. "But ancient Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments —and it’s the same way with Dylan", the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.12．Dylan found folk music attractive because ________.A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music13．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C. His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements. 14．According to the last two paragraphs, ________.A. lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD. Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers15．What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A recent research has found a new secret of success. According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly。

Two—thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog。

However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25％of the homes, while fighting were observed in 10％of the homes。

Ironically(讽刺的是), this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required him to “act”. He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.”In 1980, Reeve started in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released(公映), it has since enjoyed a nationwide “cult” following, especially among college students in 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians.On May 27,1995, Reeve was paralysed(瘫痪) from the neck down after being thrown from his horse, and largely retired from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralysed people to live more independently.1. According to the passage, we can get the conclusion that the play Love of Life ___.A. gained a great successB. changed Reeve’s life completelyC. is just a relaxation for most audienceD. talks about serious political problems2 The underlined part in the third paragraph shows that Reeve ______.A. enjoyed different kinds roles related to high technologyB. did not like to play the role of the Superman because of the dangerC. was an ambitious actor who intended to play all kinds of charactersD. was a peace-loving man, who hates weapons and all the military actions3. The word “cult” in the fourth paragraph probably means _____.A. popular fashionB. lovely and interestingC. of the present timeD. bad-tempered dog4. On May 27, 1995, Reeve _____.A. acted out the role of a lawyer in The BostoniansB. fell down during the horse-riding and became paralysedC. won critical cheers for his performance in Somewhere in TimeD. opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource CenterBLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite(尽管)great differences in cultures heroes around the world generally share a umber of characteristics that instruct(教育) and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure(冒险) to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond only fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.He hero lives a life worthy of imitation(效仿). Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth enthusiasm(热情), and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve and what they are willing to live and die for. If the answer or evidence(证据) suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant(充实的)? Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm(魅力) to move the masses(群众). They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. , we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants and parks. It may be possible for large scale(范围) change to happen without leaders with magnetic(有魅力的) personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ____.A. generally have certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. be delayed(推迟) without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making he necessary sacrifices(牺牲)C. take place if here were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities7. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ______.A. they have a vision from the mountaintopB. they have warm feelings and emotions (情感)C. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentCThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I have in maintaining(维持) old friendships and building up new ones.Sunny, one of my dearest friends at work, will leave the office next month for a better job. He is not my first friend from the office to say goodbye. Over the years, there have been a handful of workmates who became friends. In recent times, at least three others have also left. So, next month, I'll say goodbye to Sunny and I am left with one friend fewer at work. When Sunny told me that he was leaving, I sighed: "With you gone, I will have hardly any friends left in the office!"I began to think: At what point does a workmate become a friend? And, to take a step back, what does "friendship" mean? Indeed, what makes you form a friendship with a person, but not some other? If a friend is a person I feel completely comfortable calling up at 3 am to get me out of trouble-as Sunny will do-then I don't have that many friends. Other than family members, I can depend on just one female friend and three, at best four, male friends. But then, maybe that's plenty. As someone said, one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.Friendships are different from relationships. You can be great friends with your partner, of course, but a relationship is so much more complex(复杂). It is not only about that wonderful feeling called love, but also a collection of emotions like jealousy, resentment(不满), anger, pain and despair(绝望). Friendship is simpler and fills you, mostly, with positive emotions-kindness, fondness, warmth and honesty. With a lover, you make demands and have expectations. But with a friend, you're cool. You don't really owe him anything, or have to explain much, because you demand nothing more from each other than pleasant company(陪伴) and an occasional listening ear.Love, I read somewhere, is blind, but friendship closes its eyes. How true.8. Recently, _____ have left the office.A. 3 of my workmatesB. 4 of my workmatesC. all of my friendsD. at least three of my friends9. The write tells us that friendship and relationship are _____.A. quite differentB. exactly the sameC. more or less the sameD. not there in fact10. By citing(引用) "One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible.",the writer implies "_____".A. a true friend is hard to findB. so many friends will bring you troubleC. it's impossible to have three friendsD. making too many friends is no good for you11. By writing this passage, the writer wants to tell us _____.A. one of his friends will say goodbye to himB. you may make friends with your workmatesC. friendship is very precious (珍贵)D. the difference between friendship and relationshipDThe older I get, the more I value friends, yet the less time, energy and enthusiasm(热情) I haveBusinesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green . However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.Harry Morrison, chief executive（主管）of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes：“I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking—we don’t have m uch time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand. ”Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cuttingemissions,”Mr. Morrison said.12．What’s the main idea of the passage?A.

安徽省舒城县2016-2017学年高一英语上学期研究性学习材料试题（一）（无答案）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Se cond, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.1. What is the main idea of the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Mend a Troubled FriendshipD. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends2. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person_________ .A. who has been mistaken for anotherB. who has been blamed unfairlyC. who has treated friends badlyD. who has admitted his mistakes3. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _________.A. we have much in commonB. we know our friends’ mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wiselyD. we have know one another for long4. What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?A. Stick to our own prints of viewB. Avoid making mistakesC. Make an apology firstD. Change our lifestylesBAsk a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing (显著的) features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates (释放) time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.5. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleB. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement6. Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a rewarding taskB. a funny jobC. a thankless jobD. a source of inevitable pain7. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from (起源于) ________ .A. hatredB.ignoranceC. prejudiceD. misunderstanding8. To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. be able to distinguish happiness from funD. put up with pain under all circumstancesCWelcome to the Kampala Beach Hotel Reservations（预定）System.

A textbookB. A magazineC. The InternetD. A newspaperDHow words came into being is unknown. All we assume（推测）is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.13. We learn from the text that language might have begun withA. expressionsB. actionsC. signsD. sounds14.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. The learning of new words.B. The importance of old wordsC. The relation of human experience with words.D. The gradual change and development of words.15. In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?A. Use words skillfully.B. Make musical speechesC. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
