There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries〔动脉〕when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University inJapan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A weeklater, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning. V olunteers who stayed asleep did not experience an increase, which 45 work-related stress is most likely to 46 .“Most people are free of the mental and physical 47 of work on Sundays and experience a more stressful change from weekend 48 activities to work activities on Mondays, ”said Dr. Murakami, who led the research.. “But anyway, there was a 49 peak on Mondays.”III.

Don’t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to chang e my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me.

According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosni an war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip toAustria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be more fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the tho usands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, reb uilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. “It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales,who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.”Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.”For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with loveC. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.77. Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.78. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80. Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory ’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it mi ght take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to ___________________ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touchscreen and ___________________ in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷〔45分〕I.

The college entrance exams are really around the corner now. As time becomes limited and school work begins to pile up, many students start to feel much stressed --some find themselves very unenergetic and not able to concentrate; some even fall asleep in class. What should we do to avoid this?First of all, physical exercise is the best way to reduce stress and help people relax. Therefore it is highly advisable that we have some physical exercise after some hours of mental exercise. Second, having a proper study plan is of great importance too，since it can remind us what to do and is helpful for us to do our work more efficiently. Last but not least, we should pay special attention to our diet as well. Anyway, a balanced and nutritious diet can keep a busy mind smartand energetic.Only if we can do these three things mentioned above will we make our time of study and preparation work enjoyable, efficient and fruitful.Thank you.TranscriptText 1W: Good morning, Hank.

辽宁省2016届高三上学期五校协作体期初考试英语试题(含答案)
15-16学年度上学期省五校高三期初考试英语试卷时间：100分钟满分：150分第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）AMy name is Chelsea Chowderhead. A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.“You shouldn’t change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you’re really interested in. Once people start talki ng about themselves, they don’t judge you.”Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dad’s advice, so I decided to try.I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical. “What’s it like being a twin?” I asked.They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”“Most of the time it’s good,” the other said. “When you’re a twin you always have someone t o talk to and have lunch with.”In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I’m Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What’s your name?”I took a deep breath and said, “I’m Chelsea Chowderhead.”“Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel.“Yes,” I replied, looking down.“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded.And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.21. Why did the writer want to change his name?A．People made fun of it.B．He wanted to make more friends.C．It was hard to remember.D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.22. The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____________.A．big B．beautiful C．same D．full23. When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt ________________.A．surprised B．nervous C．angry D．proud24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．At last the writer changed his name.B．The twins said hello to the writer first.C．The twins also didn’t like the writer’s name.D．One can order a chowder in some restaurants.BA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops（笔记本电脑）.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility (清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.25. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can_________.A. understand lectures betterB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. write more notes26. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be_______.A. mindlessB. thoughtfulC. skillfulD. tireless27. The author of the passage aims to________.A. stress the benefit of taking notes by handB. promote the use of laptopsC. explain the process of taking notesD. examine the importance of long-term memory28. The passage is likely to appear in__________.A .a computer textbook B. a science magazineC. a newspaper advertisementD. a finance reportCFour Simple Keys to Transform Your LifeThe Power of Choice．Every one of us makes countless choices every day．Every choice we make has an impact on our lives．Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel．When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junkfood．The more important the decision, the greater its effect．For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way．How Do You Make Choices? If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you．This foundation is to choose based on what's best for all．Imagine a world where every parent, spouse（配偶）, friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world．It's the Intention．"But how do I know what is really best?" you might ask．The answer is simple．It doesn't matter．What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice．What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's best for all．If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there's no need for guilt．Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all, your conscience stays clear and open．This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind．What's Best for Me, Too! Choosing what's best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others．An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily．Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children．So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for all．29．Which of the following is FALSE?A．Whenever hunger strikes, we will reach for a junk snackB．Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us．C．Even small choices affect how we feel．．D．We make choices every day．30．How should we make choices?A．To be interested in a richer, fuller life．B．To make life better for ourselves．C．To imagine a world where everyone did their best．D．To choose based on what's best for all．31．Why does the author say, "What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice"?A．Because the choice you make is not important．B．Because you may have made a bad choice．C．Because this allows you to stay clear and improve．D．Because there is no need for guilt．32．How to choose what is best for us?A．We need to devote all our life to others．B．We need to put away some time for ourselves．C．We need to sacrifice ourselves for others．D．We need to be selfless every minute．DIn October on the east coast of Australia migrating(迁徙)humpback whales(座头鲸)pass very close to the shore. With the help of Max Egan, we went to film them near Byron Bay. It was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs(水柱)of spray on the horizon. When migrating, the whales can be traveling at speeds of about 12km/h and can dive under anywhere between five and forty minutes, but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines(潜水艇), the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails. Then, with a powerful down stroke, they dive back into the depths of the sea, leaving just a smooth glassy patch of water or “footprint” on the surface to show where they had been.One day we had traveled up and down the shore and far out to the sea in search of whales, but the horizon was deserted. There was no report of whales in the area so we decided to test out Max's new, highly sensitive hydrophone(水中听音器)and the result was astonishing. As soon as the hydrophone was in the water, we found ourselves listening to the most beautiful voices. What may have seemed like a vast empty ocean was filled with the singing of whales.It is the males which sing, as they migrate between feeding and breeding(养育)grounds. No one knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is, whether they are love songs to the females or warnings to other males to stay away.It was thought that each population of humpbacks had its own song which remained regular but recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune(曲调)and quickly adopt any new songs they hear. 33．Which finding about whales is beyond the writer's expectation?A．The little puffs. B．The songs of whales.C．The traveling speed of whales. D．The depth of the whale's dive.34．What do we know about Max?A．He likes whales very much. B．He is a brave scientist on whales.C．He is an experienced man in finding whales. D．He is an expert in making hydrophones. 35．The writer's main purpose of looking for whales is______.A．carrying out research on whales B．studying the beautiful songs of whalesC．making films about whales D．hunting whales for research第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)How to Turn Y our Child into a Lifelong BookwormLiteracy is one of the most important skills we will ever develop over our lifetimes. Most small children love books, looking at the pictures and hearing the story, but as they get older they often move away from books. 36Join the libraryLibraries have changed a lot in recent years. 37 Take your child regularly and encourage them to take out books on whatever subject interests them.Not just novelsMany parents think that reading counts if the child is reading a work of fiction or a novel. 38 Non-fiction books are particularly attractive to boys. Kids especially love the sorts of books which allow them to make a decision between various paths and choose their own endings.Set an exampleIf your child never sees you reading, they aren’t going to pick up a book either. 39 Having plenty of books around the house makes reading more accessible and the normal thing to do when bored. If you struggle with reading and literacy, do something about it by going back to college or attending a special adult literacy course.Make their own booksIf your child dislikes reading, think about encouraging them to start writing their own stories and novels. Buy them a special notebook. Allow them to write whatever captures their imagination, and don’t worry too much about messy handwriting or poor spelling. 40A.So how do you keep your kids interested in books?B.As long as a child is reading, it doesn’t matter what they are reading.C.Libraries will have a great range of books for children.D.There are newspapers printed especially for children.E.Reading and writing are often thought of as two separate issues.F.The idea is to cause an interest in books, reading and fiction, and the rest will develop over time.G.Next time pick up a newspaper or a book and encourage your child to sit with you and read too.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）My sister and I grew up in a little village in England.

Whether you are getting young rabbits or old ones, you’ll experience all of the joys of raising them. Raising rabbits is much like raising other animals. Here’re some things to help you raise and care for your rabbits so that they can live a happy life.When you bring rabbits home, they will be scared, because rabbits are nervous by nature. Allow them a few weeks to get used to their surroundings. Always make sure your rabbits have a cage big enough to live in. They need to have enough room to move around, especially if they stay indoors and you will cage them while you are gone. This is the safest option for your rabbits as well. When feeding always make sure to ke ep their diet consistent. Pet rabbits don’t like it when their food is changed often. Aside from food, water is the most important for a rabbit. Always make sure they have fresh cold water! Provide a treat for them every now and then like carrots. There are certain types of treats at pet stores that are good, and your rabbits may like them. Rabbit care also means providing your rabbits with toys. Cat toys work great, especially balls with bells in the center. Larger rabbits will even play with things such as pop cans and pop bottles.Raising rabbits is the same as owning a dog or cat. We hope you have enjoyed learning how to raise and care for rabbits. It requires a lot of efforts, but it will also bring you many years of joyand happiness!听力（1.5x 20=30分）1-5 CABCB 6-10 CABCA 11-15 CABAB 16-20 CCBAB 阅读（3x 20=60分）21-25 BADAC 26-30 CDABD 31-35 ACCBD 36-40 FDGBC 完型（2x 20=40分）41-45 BABDC 46-50 DACBB 51-55 DCAAB 56-60 CBADD 语法填空（1.5x 10=15分）61. has 62. to learn 63. healthiest 64. that 65. into66. who/ that 67. focused 68. shorter 69. energy 70. so 短文改错（1x 10=10分）I like travelling and my dream of paying a visit for Beijing, the capital city of our country, come true during the National Day holidays this year.

It is known, in the business, as “hoisting”.But the hoisting game is not 3 it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know 4 they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed 5 and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court 6 for shoplifting using an evidence of a videotape clearly showing a couple 7 dresses. It was an important test case which 8 other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls, called sputniks, first make a(n) 9 in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to 10 shoplifters. Their 11 ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long, 12 , for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable 13 . Soon after the equipment was 14 at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman 15 putting bottles of perfume into her bag.“As she turned to go,” Chadwick 16 , “she suddenly looked up at the ‘sputnik’ and stopped. She could not 17 have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she 18 have had a feeling that I was looking at her.”“For a moment she paused, but then she 19 to counter and started putting everything 20 .

Criticism from coaches， parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does notbecome work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.1. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it can provide them with valuable experiencesD. it enables them to find flaws in themselves2. According to the passage parents and coaches should _____.A. help children to win every gameB. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsC. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsD. train children to deal with stress3. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _____.A. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenB. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismC. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics(流体静力学) sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is probably why the experts enforce this in our educational system.But it is not the natural way —nor, in my view, the best way. The adolescent wantsto do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and wantto learn more about them.They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty(青春期) the boy joins his father in making canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties”as thoseof civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges a t the present time young men have to do a year’s work ona farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interestin his theoretical work.Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it didin a more primitive community, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is now necessarily undertaken by expertsat school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuitsof life and then to learn how—to learn through responsibility, not to learn before responsibility.4. According to the author, what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning.B. Doing things as an apprentice.C. Doing things before learning.D. Learning practical knowledge first.5. The main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, is that learners ________.A. can learn the trade through solving problems at workB. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given more freedom in doing things and learningD. are given opportunities to develop their interest first6. According to the context, “this” in the third paragraph refers to ________.A. the way of learning in primitive communitiesB. the difficulties modern adolescents experienceC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive lifeD. the kind of skills boys learned from their father7. Which of the following sums up the author’s main point?A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.B. Students should be given more freedom in learning.C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Learning to solve problems is learning through responsibility.CIn some urban centers, workholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual: they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.Workholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics (工作狂) would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.Is workholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energyand interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy.For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’ve produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, “I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.8. The passage indicates that workaholics ______.A. just know work but nothing elseB. find their work provide them more satisfaction and self-confidence than howmuch they are paidC. are willing to work hard for long hours without payD. has the work with more responsibility than others9. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to qui t their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that ______.A. they are in the need of financial securityB. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplishedC. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairsD. they may have health problems from sheer boredom10. This passage is mainly about ______.A. people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kindsof entertainmentB. workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a messC. workholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful lifeD. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy11. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiarB. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcoholC. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfactionD. to workaholics, work is the sole source of happinessDA friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: Life isn’t fair. It’s disappointing, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t.One of the nice things about surrendering(屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel victimized or unfairly treated.The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel compassion(热情) for others and for ourselves. And compassion is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basicfact. You may be surprised that it can persuade you out of self-pity and into helpful action.12. The writer thought of his friend’s question as a good one because _______.A. he also wanted to know who held such an opinionB. it made him recall something during his childhoodC. like his friend, he also thought life was unfairD. he learned something from the question as a youngster13. Surrendering to the fact that life isn’t fair will ________.A. keep us from making everything perfectB. keep us from doing everything in our powerC. make us face unfair treatment bravelyD. make us know it’s our duty to perfect things14. The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that ________.A. it’s nice to accept the injustice of lifeB. it’s nice to surrender to the lifeC. we should not surrender to the lifeD. we should not feel sorry for everything15. In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact”refers to the fact that _______.A. you should not pity for othersB. life isn’t and won’t be fairC. compassion is heartfelt emotionD. pity is a self-defeating emotion四、任务型阅读Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possible have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561-1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a pa rt of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist willcross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren’t even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middle-class levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.五、书面表达请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

湖北省2016届高三上学期第一次八校联考英语试题
湖北省2016届高三上学期第一次八校联考英语试题第二部分阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWe do not usually think about how our language works. Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.F irst, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbor’s dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream.” This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people keep money,” but it can also mean “the side of a river.” So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river.”The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.21.The passage is mainly about _____.A.the best time and place to talk to othersB. how speaking situation helps language workB.what to say in difficult situations D. how our language works22.According to the passage, we can safely say that _____.A. a speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB. speaking is not very natural for most peopleC. a speaking situation is not importantD. people often do not consider how talking works23. By using the example of the word “dog”, the writer wants to show that _____.A. a word may need to be explained in a conversationB. a word may have different meaningsC. speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordD. the meaning of words is not particular24. According to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to _______.A. the time and the place where the conversation happensB. the occupation of the person who uses the wordC. earlier or later parts of the conversationD. a reliable dictionaryBI turned 16 on Friday, but the Driver’s License Office i n my small hometown was only open on Tuesday, so I had to wait through that extremely long weekend and an endless Monday before going in for my examination.I came to the Driver’s License Office half an hour earlier that Tuesday morning, pacing back and forth on the worn porch waiting for the office to open at eight. I reviewed the driver’s manual for the hundredth time. I was ready. I knew the manual backward and forward; I had made an “A” in my driver’s training course, and I was a genius behind the wheel. Finally, the door opened and a weary-looking man in a brown uniform let me in.“Let me guess. You want to take the driver’s test.” his voice was not enthusiastic.“Yes!” I answered in excitement.“Ok, fill this out, and if you pass we’ll go for a drive.”I grabbed the test and rushed to the desk where I filled it out in record time. A quick check showed that my paper wasperfect.“Let’s get in the car.” He tossed me a set of keys, and I slid behind the wheel. Everything was going smoothly as we pulled out of the empty parking lot. I signaled a right hand turn, and we were on a deserted street. This was going to be easy.“Turn left and go up Young Blood Hill,” he ordered. My hometown is in the mountains, and Young Blood Hill was almost vertical. As I eased up the steep hill and came to a stop at the top, I heard the car’s engine die. My heart sank. I would have to start it again without rolling back down the hill. I swallowed hard and turned the key; as I moved my foot from the brake, the car began to roll. I suppose I could have rolled all the way back to the bottom except for one thing. There was something behind me which stopped my roll with a rough shake and crash of glass—a police car.The policeman wrote me a ticket as I looked over the damage, and the man from the Driver’s License Office slid behind the wheel. I waited until we had parked before I asked how long a person had to wait before taking the test again.25. What time does “that Tuesday morning” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The morning when he made an “A” in his driver’s training course.B. The morning when he knew the driver’s manual perfectly well.C. The first Tuesday morning immediately after his16th birthday.D. The Tuesday morning right before his 16th birthday.26. Why didn’t the car roll back to the bottom?A. The engine died.B. It hit a police car.C. The writer braked it hard.D. The man from the Driver’s License Office helped make it stop.27. From the underlined sentence “I grabbed the test and rushed to the desk where I filled it out in record time”, we can know that ______ .A. the writer didn’t like the man from the Driver’s License Office.B The writer was excited and eager to go for the driver’s test.C.time for the test was tight.D.the test paper was very easy.28.

It investigates the association between the so-called reproductive factors -- such as having children and breastfeeding -- and a woman's risk of death.Researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across 10 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Sweden, with an average age of 50.Each woman was followed for an average of 12.9 years. During this period, there were 14,383 deaths overall, which included 5,938 deaths from cancer and 2,404 deaths from circulatory system diseases, according to the study.The team compared reproductive factors with risk of death from several common conditions, such as breast cancer, stroke and heart disease.The researchers found that women who had given birth had a 20 percent reduced risk of death than those who had not. It was also found that there was a reduced risk of death (eight percent) in women who had breastfed compared to those who did not.The risk of death from cancer was lower in those that had given birth compared to those that had not. Within this group, the risk was reduced even further in women that gave birth to two or three children in comparison to those who had only one child."Hormonal mechanisms may explain the lower risk of death that we observed with breastfeeding, and having given birth, as these factors are associated with changes in hormone levels," said Dr Melissa Merritt from ICL, who led the study.33.According to the passage, the risk of death from cancer is the lowest in women who _______.A.have given birth to no child.B. have given birth to one child.B.have given birth to more than one child.
