When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉头）, 21 when he saw it was Amy, a broad 22 changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy.

She was inspired by her dad, who had been a fighter when he was younger. But when she first told her dad that she wanted to box, he said, “No! No! Boxing is a man’s sport.” It made Claressa so mad. Claressa wouldn’t back down. “I wanted to fight. I knew that whatever I put my heart and my work into, I was going to be successful at it,” she says.Finally, her dad took her to the boxing gym to start training. She was the only girl. Claressa now has a boxing record of 23 wins and zero losses. “I think you’re right,”her dad told her not long ago. He’s proud that she proved him wrong.Boxing can be dangerous. How does Claressa feel when she steps into the boxing ring（拳击场）? “I’m not nervous. And I’ve never gotten into the ring thinking that a girl can beat me,” she says.But Claressa takes the competitions seriously. “I always tell myself it’s going to be harder than I think,” she says. “I fight them all like they are world champions. If I think it’s going go be easy, I’m done!”Claressa will need all her confidence this month. From May 9 to May 20, she will be in China. There, she’ll fight in the Women’s World Boxing Championships. Claressa must place in the top eight in her weight class out of all the women boxers in the world. Otherwise she can’t go to the Olympics, even though she’s on the U.S. Olympic team.We asked Claressa to imagine stepping into the ring at the Olympics. Would it feel any different from her other fights? “No,” she says. “Just a fight. Just another girl in my way.”36. When Claressa first told her father she wanted to be a boxer, he ___________.A. kept silentB. didn’t support herC. took her to start trainingD. gave her some useful advice37. When Claressa steps into the boxing ring, she is ____________.A. violent and wildB. proud and relaxedC. serious and patientD. confident and calm38. What can we learn about Claressa from the text? ___________A. She loves China greatly.B. She will take part in the Olympics.C. She has the best boxing record in the world.D. She is a member of the U.S. Olympic team.39. What’s the best title for this text? _____________A. A fashionable lifestyleB. Fighting for her dream.高二英语第3页共11页C. Being a successful womanD. A future Olympic championBWhat do John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and John Lennon have in common? Well, apart from the fact that all three were shot, they all have airports named after them. JFK is in New York. Ronald Reagan Airport is in Washington DC. And John Lennon Airport is in Liverpool.In fact, quite a few royals also get an airport. Princess Julian Airport is on the Dutch island of Saint Martin, and Queen Beatrix Airport is on Aruba. President George Bush had Houston International, and Gerald Ford gets a small airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan.The world of entertainment had done quite well, too. New Orleans has its airport named after the jazz star Louis Armstrong. US film star John Wayne is getting an airport in Santa Ana, California. The Italians play tribute to pioneering figures Christopher Columbus and Leonardo da Vince at airports in Genoa and Rome. Both are surely worth an airport, even if neither ever actually flew.So, what’s the world’s busiest airport? For many years, London’s Heathrow Airport had this title, but this is now argued. Although Heathrow does have the largest number of international passengers every year, Frankfurt Airport flies to the most international destinations, however, the airport with the most passengers and flights is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the U.S., which serviced 88 million passengers and 970,235 fights in 2009.The world’s largest airport is also a fiercely contested title. Riyadh’s King Khalid international Airport covers 484 square miles, and is now regarded as the champion. However, first place is about to pass to the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport, which has been open to passenger traffic since 2011, although it won’t be fully complete until 2013. it’ll be about to meet the needs of 160 million passengers per year with its four terminals （候机厅）and five runways.What about runways? Well, the longest airport runway is Qamdo Bangda Airport in China at 5,500 meters. The shortest is Saba International Airport in the British Virgin Islands, at only 400 meters.40. What does the underlined part “pay tribute to” in Paragraph 3 means? ______A. KeepB. WatchC. PraiseD. Show41. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? ________A. Frankfurt Airport is bigger than Heathrow Airport.B. It’s hard to say which the world’s busiest airport is.C. The busiest airport should have the most passengers.D. The airport servicing the most flights in London.42. According to the text, the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport _________.A. had been put into use.B. has an area of 484 square miles.C. had become the world’s largest airport.D. transported 160 million passengers in 2011.CFlorida teen Felicia Frisco loves her cat, will. She plays with him, feeds him, and even sleeps with him every night.Sounds like a normal cat, right? Not quite. Will is Bengal tiger.Six in ten Americans own some type of pet --- a dog, a cat, or maybe a hamster. Such animals can live among humans. Will, however, is an “exotic pet.”In fact, as many as 18 million Americans own exotic pets, from monkeys to snakes tokangaroos.Why would you want to own such an animal---especially one that could eat you? There are lots of reasons. Owning an exotic pet can be a way to express your personality. For some, these pets are status （身份）symbols --- a way to show off. But just look at Paris Hilton. In 2005, she raised a honey bear, a small mammal native to Central and South America. She liked it very much until one day it bit her so deeply that she had to go the hospital.Luckily, Hilton made a full recovery. Exotic pets can attract their owners at any moment because they’re wild. They have instinct （本能）we can’t always predict or control. Some people say it’s cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats.Or course, exotic pets, when cared for responsibly, can be wonderful company. As professional animal handlers, Felicia’s parents can give will a good life. But not everyone is so knowledgeable.The fact is exotic pets are a lot of work and a lot of money. (Felicia’s parents spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on will every year.) As a result, many owners end up ignoring or even throwing away their animals.Though there are the risks, may Americans are willing to raise an exotic pet.As for Felicia and Will? Some experts say a tiger shouldn’t ever share a bed with a person. Zookeeper Jack Hanna compares it to sleeping with a bomb （炸弹）. But Felicia isn’t concerned. She says that raising Will is “kind of like raising a dog.”Yeah … kind of.43. According to the text, exotic pets refer to those animals that ___________.A. are unusual.B. are endangered.C. can protect humans.D. can live with people.44. What can we learn from the text? ________________.A. No more than 50% of Americans own pets.B. Keeping pets can reduce tee ns’ pressure.C. Paris Hilton gave up keeping her pet after she was hurt.D. Felicia’s parents look after her pet in a professional way.45. How does zookeeper Jack Hanna feel about a tiger living with a person? _______A. WorriedB. ShockedC. ConfusedD. Disappointed46. What does the author mainly discuss in this text? __________A. Is it necessary to keep a pet?B. Should a tiger be your pet?C. How should we take care of our pets?D. Should teens share a bed with their pets?DIn 1862, Charles Darwin made a prediction --- a moth （蛾）with an 11-inch-long tongue lived on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.A friend had sent Darwin a plant called the Christmas Star orchid. It produced star-shaped flowers in December and grew only in the forests of Madagascar, near the east coast of Africa.The key to Darwin’s prediction was a strange part of the plant, an 11-inch-long tube hanging from its flower. He could make his prediction just by looking at the strange flower because he knew how plants make seeds.The pollinator （传粉者）, such as a bird, bee, or moth, visits flowers to drink the nectar, a sugary liquid. The flower holds the pollen near the nectar. While the animal is taking the nectar, the animal cannot avoid having pollen stick to its body. At the next flower, pollen comes off, and that second flower can make a new seed.高二英语第5页共11页Darwin knew that the long tube on the Christmas Star orchid was important because it held the nectar that a pollinator would come to drink. But what animal had a tongue almost a foot long?The Christmas Star orchid gave off a sweet smell but only at night. Its white petals were easy to see in the dark. Both of these clues pointed to a nighttime pollinator. Darwin also knew that the orchids grow far apart. A pollinator would have to be a strong, fast flier to make its way from one flower to another. These clues pointed to a moth. Most moths are active at night, and most are strong fliers. And they drink nectar through a tongue-like feeding organ.Darwin predicted that someday a moth with a long tongue would be found in Madagascar.A few scientists made fun of his prediction. No one had ever seen a moth with an 11-inch-long tongue.Scientists searched for 41 years. Finally, in 1903 (21 years after Darwin’s death) a new type of moth with an 11-inch-long tongue was discovered in Madagascar.47. Which of the following is a picture of the Christmas Star orchid?48. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ____________.A. how plants make seedsB. why the nectar tastes like sugarC. what animals like to drink nectarD. where flowers hold the pollen49. How did Darwin make his prediction?A. By studying the behavior of moths.B. By researching into different pollinators.C. By gathering information about Madagascar.D. By observing the Christmas Star orchid closely.50. According to the text, Darwin’s prediction___________.A. was made 100 years ago.B. proved to be completely right.C. was made with the help of his friend.D. won other scientists’ support immediately.IV. 单词拼写（共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词, 在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式, 每空只写一词。

20122013学年高二期中考试英语试卷2014---2015第一学期高二英语月考试卷一( 阅读理解(每题3分，共45分)AIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get o work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distancesfrom where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experiencehas had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. Andit has influenced(影响)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.1. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life. 2. We can infer from the text that ____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family. 3.

Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.BThe following notice is posted in the bus station.Time Table:?Buses leave the Railway Station, New York City, from 7:00 am and everyhalf-hour thereafter, until 11:30 pm(7 days a week)?Buses leave Brennan Station 20 minutes before and after every hour from 6:20 am to 11:40 pm(7 days a week)?Evening rush hours (5:00 pm to 7:00 pm): Buses leave the Railway Station, New York City every 15 minutes.

People’s feet always move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it hack to their home.The home of the bees is called a bee hive(巢). Here hundreds even thousands ofbees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax(蜡). Then they maketheir honey. This is the same honey that we eat.Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, itflies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on the side. This tells the other bees which way togo to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. Theyfly away andreturn with more food for the hive.Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat. 9. The writer believes that____________.A. people dance better than beesB. people learned dance from beesC. bees dance more often than peopleD. bees don’t like music10. From this passage we know that the dance of bees means__________A. they are good at danceB. they want to show their beautyC. they communicate with each otherD. they have nothing to do 11. Which of the following is TURE?A. People get honey from flowers directlyB. People draw honey from bees’ bodiesC. People produce honey in a secret placeD. People get honey from bees indirectly12. If a bee wants to get some information about the distance of food, he may watch closely at _____of the other bees’ dance.A. the sideB. the lengthC. the placeD. the timeDMany families in the United States have a larger income now thanever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering,“What happens to all my money?”I never seem to have anything left toput away.Why isn’t a dollar worth as mu ch as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists(经济学家) saythat the cost of living is the money that a family must pay for the necessities of life(生活必需品) such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing,but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so many demand more goods. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage(短缺) of goods, the prices also go up. For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet the cost of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget(预算) isa list of monthly. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you’re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you’re spending too much on clothes, you may want to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases. 13. What has troubled many families in the United States?A. A not-large-enough incomeB. Nothing is left over to put awayC. The increasing cost of livingD. A shortage of certain goods 14.________determines(决定) the value of the dollar.A. The governmentB. The cost of livingC. The economistD. The bank15. While the cost of living increases, the value of thedollar__________. A. increases too B. decreasesD. seldom decreases C. neither increases nor decreases七选五Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons for why people don’t cook moreoften: ability, money and time. 16 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.So today I want to give some some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m alreadyhungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 172. Make your time worth it. When you do first time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 18 Ittakes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 19 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives a good start. 20And don’t let a busy schedule discourageyou from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things.B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planing ahead can save a lot of work later on.二(完形填空(每题2分，共40分)One afternoon, my son Adam asked me,“Are all people the same evenif they aredifferent in color?”I thought for a minute, and then I said,“I’ll explain, 21 you can just waituntil we make a quick 22 at the grocery store.

Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days afterthe sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."61. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his___________.A. motherB. parentsC. auntD. relatives62. What is probably the boy's last name?A. SchleiferiB. Eino.C. Magda.D. Panula.63. This text is mainly about how______________.A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsBTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows(草地), mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" .Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania,the conservancy's Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging（打造）partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort."For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other "Last Great Places," please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .64. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America's "Last Great Places" is to_____.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations65. We learn from the passage that________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are getting smaller fast66. What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence" (Line 1, Para. 5)?A. Financial contributions from local business leadersB. Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC. The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the areaD. The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area67. The passage most probably is _____.A. an official documentB. a news storyC. an advertisementD. a research reportCRalph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”68.Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was time-consuming to go there.D.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.69.Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because the road conditions were poor.D. Because people always drove too fast.70.By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the manC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable prices71.What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. A police officer.C. A robber.D. Mayor of the city.DIf Procter & Gamble stooped(堕落) to hire Vietnam veterans（老兵）to peek（偷看）into a rival’s(对手的) dustbins, it knows it is not alone. Spying is common in consumer product industries where the timing of a $ 100 million marketing campaign and a product launch can be critical to success or failure.In January, Kraft, the food giant, accused a rival of stealing trade secrets about a new pizza base. Kraft claimed that Schwan’s Sales enterprises hired a double agent and a freelance(自由职业者) corporate intelligence agent to find the secret to Kraft’s “rising crust” frozen pizza. According to Kraft, the freelance agent Marc Barry pretended as a reporter, a food researcher and a Kraft manager to collect information. The strategy apparently worked. The company complained that even “aslight advantage in the market place could mean millions of dollars of sales lost.”Even Unilever admits the importance of market intelligence. “Everyone does competitive intelligence.” The company said, but the problem is the dividing line between legal research and immoral or even illegal activities. The law is unclear: breaking and entering is clearly illegal but studying rivals through dustbins on public property does not go against the law. Spying has also leapt into cyberspace with the recent investigation by the European Parliament into the use of the Echelon network, a military intelligence（情报）network. France and Holland complained that the network, run by Britain’s GCHQ and America’s National Security Agency, was being used to spy on corporate e-mails, causing their national firms to lose deals.Procter & Gamble itself knows the risks and the company’s attempts to build a wall around its headquarters. According to Alecia Swasy, a financial journalist, leaving an internal telephone directory on your desk is an offence likely leading to be unemployed at P&G.72. The chief concern of the consumer product companies is ______.A. to hire veterans to peek into a rival’s dustbinsB. to know that they are not alone in competitive spyingC. to invest a $ 100 million into consumer product industriesD. to set the time at which products are put on market73.Who was hired by Schwan’s Sales enterprises to find Kraft’s secret?A. A Vietnam veteranB. A food researcherC. A Kraft managerD. A double agent74. Which of the following mentioned in the passage doesn’t do spying?A. The Echelon networkB. France and HollandC. Schwan’s Sales enterprisesD. America’s National Security Agency75. The best title for this passage may be ______.A. Big Business of Industrial SpyingB. Legal Research or Illegal ActivityC. The Key to Success or FailureD. The Importance of Market IntelligenceESome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern" at night, according to oneobserver. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is strengthened with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber(木头) pilings (屋基)—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges (波涛汹涌) to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.76. After the tragedy caused by. Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along SouthCarolina's shore line are required________.A. to be easily reinforcedB. to look smarter in designC. to meet stricter building standardsD. to be designed in the shape of cubes77. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because________.A. it is strengthened by steel rodsB. it is made of redwoodC. it is in the shape of a shellD. it is built with timber and concrete78. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to________.A. withstand peak winds of about 200 km / hrB. anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC. break huge sea waves into smaller onesD. prevent water from rushing into the house.79. The main function of the shell is________.A. to strengthen the pilings of the houseB. to give the house a better appearanceC. to protect the wooden frame of the houseD. to slow down the speed of the swelling water80. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.A. fancy-lookingB. waterproofC. easily breakableD. extremely strongTranslation(20%)1. 学生们应该学会把学习与娱乐结合起来。
