Some take over-the- counter (非非非非) medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies (非非) like herbal tea or chicken soup. Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor, professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the credit, USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral (非非非非) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw (非非), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus (非非非) A and B. But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little effect when used against C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.(1)What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?A.They are quite effective.B.They are slightly helpful.C.They still need to be improved.D.They actually have no effect.(2)How do antiviral drugs work?A.By breaking up cold viruses directly.B.By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.C.By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.D.By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.(3)What can we infer from the passage?A.The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.B.Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.C.Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.D.Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.(4)What is the best title for this passage?A.Drugs against cold virusesB.Helpful home remediesC.No current cure for common coldD.Research on cold viruses13.（6分）Wood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material.It is cheap，durable，easily available，and most importantly，environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not，is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher rs Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin(木质素).The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物)and baked at a temperature of 158°F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also，almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips，the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers，who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11，picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light，or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light withoutsacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor，thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally，substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1.What does the underlined part“that feature”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Cheap.B.Durable.C.Sustainable.D.Transparent.2.Which of the following is true according to the text?A.Berglund got the idea of transparent wood while making paper.B.Varying the amount of the polymer changes the wood’s hardness.C.The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D.The cost of making the transparent wood still needs to be cut down.3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The bright future of the transparent wood.B.The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C.The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D.Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）14.（10分）When big news breaks,it's easy to get caught up in following the story online.The Internet can be a place to find useful information. 1 Helping kids understand the news and how to separate fact from fiction is an important job for parents and educators.Here’s some advice that parents can offer kids to help them be quicker to judge as they consume news online.2 In the rush to cover stories,reporters make mistakes,officials don't always have correct information and tidbits(八卦新闻）that sound reasonable often get passed around before anyone has checked them for accuracy.Use social media wisely.Some say Twitter is a great source of news in the first few minutes of a tragedy. 3 On the other hand,Facebook can be a great way to connect with friends affected by events in the news and to spread personal news within a more limited circle.Be skeptical. 4 After the Boston Marathon bombing,NBC Sports reported that some runners kept running all the way to the hospital to donate blood for the victims.Not true.There are plenty of websites devoted to exposing false news stories.The Washington Post also has a Fact Checker column that delivers claims made by public officials and politicians.Visit them to find out if a story is true.Keep it age-appropriate.Kids aren’t always ready to digest big tragic news--especially if the news is about kids,such as school shootings or abuses.The constant repetition of information can be confusing for younger kids,and at the beginning of a news event,parents might not be able to offer any correct answers. 5A.Remember,breaking news is often wrong.B.It also can be the source of misinformation.C.If something sounds too good to be true,it probably is.D.The government should take measures to prevent false news.E.However,after that it just becomes messy and largely inaccurate.F.With social media at your fingertips,it's convenient to express your opinion.G.Kids who are eager to learn more about certain events can check kid-guided news sources.四、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）15.（20分）In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages（孤儿院）with only his stuffed animal（毛绒玩具）, Doggie, for companionship.

福建省莆田第七中学2024_2025学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题

福建省莆田第七中学2024-2025学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题一．阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AIn every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. For example, the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people's lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse (屠宰场）Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "The crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say, "No" Make your own judge. If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, please have the courage to leave them politely. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own feet.1 . The writer disagree to wear red sweaters if ___ .A. the crowd is wearing themB. you can't afford themC. your parents disapproveD. you don't look good in red2. The writer encourages the readers to ___.A. follow the crowdB. be independentC. obey their parentsD. take the advice of their elders3. People who blindly follow the "top" crowd __ .A. will lose friendsB. will make themselves happyC. sometimes do things against their better judgmentD. finally become pace-setters (领跑者) in their own right4. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Rules for Teens.B. The "Top" Crowd.C. On Being Yourself.D. Follow the LeaderBWe couldn’t wait to get outside. Sure, we knew that growing up was to be about going to school and doing homework, but for us the most important thing was having fun. As soon as school was over, we’d run home, eat something, and rush outside to take care of our real business, hanging about (闲逛) with our friends.Hanging about was our time, when we didn’t have to deal with the annoyances (烦事) of the family life. We’d be with our friends traveling the range of our imaginations, inventing a new game with bottle caps. We were ruled only by ourselves and answered to no one but ourselves.We played all kinds of games, but most of our activities involved a ball. City kids played “official” ball games like baseball, football, and basketball —but we also had a whole range of less formal ball games to draw upon for fun. These games had simple rules, needed a few people and took almost no time to get going. The games could be the center point of attention, but they usually occurred while the main event, hanging about, took place.That’s how it was, just you and your friends. It wasn’t about having your mom allow a play date with another mom; it wasn’t about organized sports. You didn’t need organization, time, planning, or equipment. You made creative use of the urban landscape. Fields of play were the sidewalks, streets and walls. Bases were cars, lamp posts and garbage cans. Equipment usually was made of some household things, but there was one thing that was necessary: a rubber ball.5. According to the author, the kids desired to .A. grow up quicklyB. make new friendsC. go to schoolD. play with friends6. We can learn from the second paragraph that the kids were .A. full of imaginationsB. easily annoyedC. ruled by some peopleD. independent7. The ball games that the author played .A. were popular with city kidsB. didn’t have strict rulesC. usually happened at schoolD. required a number of players8. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. The kids used to play at home.B. The games took place almost anywhere.C. The kids spent a lot of money on the games.CIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依靠)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.9.What does this passage mainly talk about?petition helps to set up self-respect.B.Opinions about competition are different among people.petition is harmful to personal quality development.D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.10.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A.It pushes society forward.B.It builds up a sense of duty.C.It improves personal abilities.D.It encourages individual efforts.11.The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means .A.those who try their best to winB.those who value competition most highlyC.those who are against competition most stronglyD.those who rely on others most for success12.What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A.One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B.One’s success in competition needs great efforts.C.One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D.One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.DCulture shock has many stages. Each stage can appear only at certain times. Culture begins with the “ honeymoon”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time. Afterwards, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. This period of culture adjustment (调整) can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting the new culture. This “rejection stage” can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits, such as smoking, drinking too much.The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture.A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. And you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficul t, but you are now a survivor! This is called the “adjustment stage”. The fourth stage can be called “ at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new environment. You can deal with most problems. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock.The fifth stage is the stage that is called the “re-entry shock.” This occurs when a return to the country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly learned customs are not in use in the old culture.13. What could be the best title of the passage?A. How to Fight Cultural ShockB. Stages of Cultural ShockC. Origin of Cultural ShockD. How to Adjust to New Cultural14. In which stage may people miss their friends and relatives and feel homesick most?A. The “honeymoon stage”B. The “rejection stage”C. The “adjustment stage”D. The “re-entry shock”15. Why do people experience the “re-entry shock”?A. The place is not the same as beforeB. The old customs have changes over the yearsC. They are not used to the local customs.D. They are no longer what they used to be.七选五What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 16 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 17 Happy people understand that you can’t really chang e a situation by resisting （抗拒）it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason for its existence（存在）. 18 But rather, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them.They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.19 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.20 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.A. They have an ideal living and a balanced life.B. What are the things that these people do differently?C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.E. They are ready to embrace whatever lies in front of them.F. They unders tand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”.G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, knowing that this will make the situation even worse.二.完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)These days, the custom that wives should cook has changed in Japan, especially people in their 20’s and 30’s tend to think so. Among 21 in that age group, both husbands and wives have 22 and they are very busy, so they tend to think that sharing the housework is 23 .But not everyone 24 because husbands do not have enough chance to know how to 25 . Up to now, they have been used to seeing two 26 : their mothers cook every day and their fathers 27 those dishes.Recently some cooking schools for 28 have opened. I have read several articles about the schools. Students of the cooking schools are mostly middle-aged men who are 29 of their retirement (退休), because they work from morning to night at their 30 , so they do not know how to cook. 31 , their wives cook 32 ; they have many hobbies, and they know how to enjoy their spare time. After these men retire, they tend to do nothing in their 33 hours. So these men are 34 to cook not only as a hobby, but also because it is necessary to them.In Japan, the famous cooks are almost all male, 35 the famous cooking teachers are almost all 36 . I think that this tendency (倾向) also comes from our 37 beliefs: being a cook is considered a business and being a cooking teacher isconsidered an extension (延长) of cooking as 38 .

2020-2021学年福建莆田高二上英语期中试卷

2020-2021学年福建莆田高二上英语期中试卷一、阅读理解1.These are some ideas that some people came up with about what the life will be like in the year 2500.We will have established a base on the moon. School kids can take field trips to the moon weekly. We will have found cures（疗法）for AIDS and cancer. The war will have ended and peace flows freely through the land. Kids will learn more and be smarter than ever before! History will be the main subject at school. Cafeteria（自助餐厅）food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds（味蕾）to see what you want to eat.—KristenHere I am in the wonderful year of 2500 and life is so easy. I work in a pet store and it is so hard! I have to wake up at midnight every day and fly my car to the store. It takes so long to get there. It takes me 20 seconds to get to the store in Mississippi from my home in Florida! At work, I have to push 5 buttons and then I go home. It takes 2 seconds and that is like forever.—MorganIn the year 2500, I think we will have invented cars that run on things we don't need like garbage. Tail gas will smell like whatever you like such as chocolate. I also predict that buildings will be able to go into a different dimension （维）so your car won't hit them. The cars in 2500 don't fly, for we haven't got that technology yet, but they can hover（盘旋）up to seven feet. These cars are made for speed!—CarlyInstead of cars, we may have hovering devices that float around. We could also have electric cars instead of gas-powered cars. Food might be healthier. What I believe is that the environment will change most. The environmental changes will also determine many other changes. If more people try to help the environment, then perhaps in 2500 we will have more forests and wildlife. If people won't help the environment, then we will have no forests and little wildlife left.—Roberta（1）According to Kristen, what will happen in 2500?A.English will be the main subject at school.B.Students can go to the moon every week.C.Cafeteria will replace other restaurants.D.AIDS and cancer will disappear.（2）Who mainly tells the reader of the cars in 2500?A.Kristen.B.Morgan.C.Carly.D.Roberta. （3）Roberta thinks that in 2500 ________.A.the environment will have changed a lotB.there will be more wildlife and forestsC.the environment will be seriously damagedD.cars will run on solar power and electricity2.Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding（衬垫）onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you". When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the act that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.（1）Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.（2）Why did the author decided to go to her office on Good Friday?A.To keep her appointment with the eye doctor.B.To meet her father who was already an old man.C.To join in the holiday celebration of the company.D.To finish her work before the deadline approached.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A.We should buy insurance to make our life better.B.Avoiding "if only"can make the author comfortable.C.The author must have a good relationship with her children.D.It is the most important thing to avoid "if only" in our daily life.（4）What is the best title for the passage?A.The Emotional Well-beingB.The Two Saddest WordsC.The Most Useful RuleD.The Peace of Mind3.Retail（零售的）stores are having an identity crisis. With foot traffic falling and customers going to online stores like Amazon, many stores are looking for new ways to keep the physical shopping experience valuable. "Physical stores find themselves at a crossroads," says Doug Stephens, retail industry futurist and author of The Retail Revival.If storefronts（临街铺）want to compete with their more convenient（and usually cheaper）online alternatives, they will have to offer unique experiences worth getting off the couch for. "My expectation will be to go to the store to learn about things, to be a participant in things, to co-create, to customize the things I'm buying, and to satisfy my own needs," Stephens says. Here are two predictions of how the retailers of tomorrow will keep us shopping.Stephens predicts that we'll be transported by virtual reality（虚拟现实）. The stores of the future will "be much more visual（看得见的）," he says. "Technologies like virtual reality, which a lot of companies right now are sort of experimenting with, can be used to create immersive（沉浸虚拟现实式的）shopping experiences." Outdoor clothing and equipment maker The North Face recently worked with VR company Jaunt to let shoppers at its flagship stores put on VR headsets and take a virtual tour of Yosemite National Park, or virtually rock climb alongside star athletes. After they've climbed down the mountains, perhaps customers will be more willing to buy some climbing equipment.Stores will also track and identify us, says Stephens. Remember that scene from Minority Report when Tom Cruise walks into a shopping mall and all the advertisements speak directly to him and know his shopping history by scanning（扫描）his eyeballs? That's not so far off. A company called Hoxton Analytics offers a system that can determine a shopper's data. Instead of scanning your eyeballs, this technology works by scanning and identifying your shoes. The goal is to help companies better understand customers and traffic patterns. The company makes sure that the system "does not collect personal information, and it does not store individual photographs, nor can it recognize individuals."（1）What does Stephens want to show by saying the underlined words?A.Many customers still prefer visiting physical stores.B.Physical stores work with online stores like Amazon.C.Physical stores are facing challenges from online stores.D.More and more physical stores are being built at a crossroads.（2）What does Stephens expect physical stores to do?A.Sell much cheaper products.B.Provide personalized services.C.Offer better after-sales service.D.Create nice shopping environments（3）What can we learn from the example of The North Face?A.How physical stores support VR.B.How VR will help physical stores.C.Why people are showing more interest in VR.D.Why immersive shopping experiences are exciting.（4）What is an advantage of Hoxton Analytics's system?A.It makes fitted shoes.B.It respects personal privacy.C.It produces better advertisements.D.It offers customers new information.4.On March 30,1867, the United States signed a treaty（条约）to buy what would later become its largest state. U.S. Secretary of State William Seward agreed to pay $7.2 million to Russia for Alaska.Russia had established permanent settlements in Alaska beginning in the late 1700s.（At the time, the area was already home to tens of thousands of native Alaskans.）But after losing an expensive war with England and France in the 1850s, Russia badly needed money. Its leaders turned to the U.S. to sell the territory（领土）, and Seward was eager to buy. He thought that having a huge territory along the northern Pacific Ocean would make it easier for the U.S. to trade with countries in Asia. Though much of Alaska was unexplored, Seward believed it had abundant resources that could lead to a boom in the fur trade, fishing, and other industries.The Alaska Purchase was approved quickly by the U.S. Senate（参议院）and signed by President Andrew Johnson.Despite the bargain price of roughly two cents an acre, the Alaska Purchase was laughed at in Congress（国会）and in the press as "Seward's folly". Critics believed the land was worthless—nothing more than snow and ice.But any question about Alaska's value was forgotten after several major discoveries of gold during the 1880s and 1890s. As word spread, an estimated 100,000 people flocked there, hoping to strike it rich. It made critics change their tune. Unfortunately, Seward never got to see his decision acknowledged for the great accomplishment it was,as he passed away in 1872, before the gold reserves had been found. Today, "Seward's Day" is celebrated in Alaskaon the last Monday of March each year, in honor of Seward's purchasing the Alaskan territory from Russia.Nowadays, Alaska is still recognized for its wealth of natural resources. Two of its biggest industries are oil and fishing. Alaska has also turned into a tourist destination for people who love the outdoors. Each year, nearly 2 million people visit Alaska to see its scenic national parks and abundant wildlife.（1）Why did Russia sell Alaska?A.The U.S. made a very high bid.B.Because of its preparations for war.C.Because of the history of native Alaskans.D.Russia was suffering from financial（经济的）problems.（2）Which can best replace the underlined word "folly" in Paragraph 4?A.Illegal trade.B.Smart idea.C.Stupid act.D.Fair deal.（3）It was proved that Seward ________.A.was hotheadedB.was far-sightedC.made a huge mistakeD.made a great sacrifice（4）What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Alaska's culture.B.Alaska's economy.C.Alaska's land ownership.D.Alaska's climate and wildlife.二、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Without doubt，good results make us joyful. However，we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting: “Are our efforts in vain？”The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached，but how we acted，which means，process is also important.Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing，trees have to suffer from bad weather，insect bites and also intentionaldestructions（故意的破坏）from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning，we set a goal，dreaming of it every night，but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately，many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact，it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters，only those who adventured（冒险）can have the chance to succeed. It is said "No pain，no gain." We are still young，still full of energy，so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate（犹豫）to take an adventure？Young men，let's forget results，leave out pain，and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey！24．Reaching our goal will make us __________.A．laugh at others B．get over the moonC．set another goal D．forget our effort25．The underlined phrase "in vain" he re means“__________”.A．值得B．益处C．高效D．徒劳26．The writer gives an example of fruits in order to say __________.A．No pain，no gain B．People will suffer a lot in lifeC．It's hard for a tree to bear fruits D．We should grow trees to get good fruits27．Only those who __________ will get really good characters.A．have gone through a lot B．work very hardC．believe that things will be better and better D．believe in themselvesCLots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this k ind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.I f you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometimes it’s a big problem with your classes and school-work . You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(心理辅导员) will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions(情绪). Remember, you don’t have to share what you’ve written with others.28．Lots of kids _______ according to the passage.A.like school very muchB.are good at reading and writingC.don’t like writingD.have the thought of hating school29．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph?A.Good education.B.School.C.Future life.D.Friendship.30．If you don’t like school, the first step is to _______.A.find out whyB.go to see a doctorC.ask your parents for helpD.leave school for a short time31．How many reasons why you don’t like sc hool are given by the writer?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.DIn the USA，it is normal for men to shake hands when they meet，but it is quite unusual for men to kiss when they greet each other. Greetings are casual—a handshake，a smile and a“hello”will do just fine.The British often simply say“hello”when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing，often just a peck（轻吻）on the cheek，is common in an informal situation between men and women and also between women who know eachother very well.In Japan，the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone，instead of giving a handshake or a hug.Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time，a handshake is the norm.In Albania，men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.In Armenia，by tradition，a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake. Between good friends and family members，a kiss on the cheek and a hug are also common.32．In Britain，when two people meet for the first time，they usually _______.A．Hug B．Bow C．shake hands D．kiss on the cheek33．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．In Japan，hugging is as common as bowing.B．In Hungary，people usually kiss each other on the cheeks from left to right.C．In Albania，it is unusual for men to kiss if there is a close relationship.D．In Armenia，it is necessary for a woman to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.34．How many countries are mentioned in the passage?A．Four.

D．Seven.35．What's the best title of the passage?A．Country and Culture B．Culture and PeopleC．Greeting Customs Around the World D．Body Language in Different Cultures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。

Without doubt，good results make us joyful. However，we cannot always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting: “Are our efforts in vain？”The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached，but how we acted，which means，process is also important.Here is an example. Fruits are delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear them. In the process of growing，trees have to suffer from bad weather，insect bites and also intentional destructions（故意的破坏）from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey.At the beginning，we set a goal，dreaming of it every night，but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately，many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact，it is the failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own.I myself deeply believe that only those who experienced a lot can own the highly-valued characters，only those who adventured（冒险）can have the chance to succeed. It is said "No pain，no gain." We are still young，still full of energy，so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate（犹豫）to take an adventure？Young men，let's forget results，leave out pain，and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey！24．Reaching our goal will make us __________.A．laugh at others B．get over the moonC．set another goal D．forget our effort25．The underlined phrase "in vain" here means“__________”.A．值得B．益处C．高效D．徒劳26．The writer gives an example of fruits in order to say __________.A．No pain，no gain B．People will suffer a lot in lifeC．It's hard for a tree to bear fruits D．We should grow trees to get good fruits27．Only those who __________ will get really good characters.A．have gone through a lot B．work very hardC．believe that things will be better and better D．believe in themselvesCLots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk ab out school and what to do when you don’t like it.If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometimes it’s a big problem wit h your classes and school-work . You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor(心理辅导员) will be able to help you.

Greetings are casual—a handshake，a smile and a“hello”will do just fine.The British often simply say“hello”when they meet friends. They usually shake hands only when they meet for the first time. Social kissing，often just a peck（轻吻）on the cheek，is common in an informal situation between men and women and also between women who know eachother very well.In Japan，the common greeting for both men and women is to bow when they greet someone，instead of giving a handshake or a hug.Hungarians like to greet in a friendly way—kiss each other on both cheeks. The most common way is to kiss from your right to your left. When men meet for the first time，a handshake is the norm.In Albania，men shake hands when greeting one another. A kiss on the cheek may also be common if there is a close relationship. Women may shake hands or kiss each other on both cheeks.In Armenia，by tradition，a woman needs to wait for a man to offer his hand for a handshake.
