Inspired by exciting dreams for the possibilities of womanhood, she asked her daughter what she wanted to be when she grew up. Little Lisa quickly answered, “A nurse.”There was a time when nursing was thought of as a woman’s job and the answer somehow seemed not to be satisfied. She had, after all, just returned from a new meeting.“You can be anything you want to be,” she re-minded her daughter. “You can be a lawyer, a doctor, a banker, president of the country — you can be anything.”“Anything?” Lisa asked.“Anything!” her mother smiled.“I know,” Lisa said. “I want to be a horse!”Lisa’s dream may need some improvement, but there is plenty of time for that. When do we give up dreaming about the future? When do we resign (听任) ourselves to simply replaying dreams from the past?Maybe her dream needs to mature (成熟) a bit, but would you rather have the optimism (乐观) of a five-year-old girl who wants to be a horse, or the pessimism (悲观) of an adult who says in despair, “I can’t be anything at all”？Teddy Roosevelt said, “Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.”I believe that is the way to make those dreams come true. So everyone need look up and dream of something beautiful while working hard to the dream.5. What did the girl really want to be when she grew up?A. A nurse.B. A horse.C. A banker.D. A lawyer.6. How did the mother feel when hearing her daughter’s first answer?A. Satisfied.B. Puzzled.C. Disappointed.D. Excited.7.

On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. It is illegal to take automobile radar detectors (汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and the Yukon. In Canada，seat belt use is required by law for all people, and child car seats must be used by children under 40 pounds. Some provinces require drivers to keep their vehicles’ headlights on during the day and some have banned (禁止) driving while using a hand-held cell phone. Motorcycles cannot share a lane (车道), and safety helmets for motorcycle riders and passengers are necessary. Running a red light is a serious crime throughout Canada and drivers are advised to stop before starting when a light turns green.Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and icy conditions. Some roads and bridges are often closed in winter. Snow tires are required in some provinces. Travelers should also be careful about animals while driving at night in rural areas.Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic. Thus drivers should be alert while travelling here.Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.

AA License to HealSteven Bentley, M．D.$11.95 soft coverIn the world of emergency medicine, there are pain and blood, but there are also hope and compassion(同情). A License to Heal shows readers the stories from an ER(emergency room) doctor that brings this world to life. In this book, an emergency room physician describes the world of the ER—as one filled with pain and fear, but also compassion, hope, and a surprising amount of humor.Batting Rocks over the BarnLawn Griffiths$19.99 soft coverCountry life during the 1950s and 1960s comes alive through the eyes of an Iowa boy who grew up to become a newspaperman and farm editor. Follow his stories in Batting Rocks over the Barn.HoneyballPete Liebengood$17.99 soft coverA group of women pull together in a campaign to find success at the box office while their leader finds the love of her life and the persons responsible for the death of her father in a plane crash.The Armageddon VirusRobert Gallant$16.95 soft coverTravis Weld, leader of a secret government team pursuing(追踪) terrorists, discovers the meaning of a phone message from someone offering to sell a deadly newvirus to an illegal weapons(武器) dealer. Can he track the seller and secure this mysterious Armageddon virus?21．Which book is probably written by a doctor?A．Honeyball.B．A License to Heal.C．The Armageddon Virus.D．Batting Rocks over the Barn.22．What do Batting Rocks over the Barn and Honeyball have in common?A．They can be found on the same website.B．They tell stories of the same time.C．They focus on the same topic.D．They cost the same.23．Which of the following can best describe the story in The Armageddon Virus?A．Humorous. B．Touching.C．Common. D．Thrilling.BIn 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won’t find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of other species are becoming extinct.For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice; now fewer than 100 are grown there. Experts believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world’s food varieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds(种子) of as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 30s, he collected around 400，000 seeds. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the U．S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties. She started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven’t been grown for years. These food species are not just special in flavor. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.24．What caused many people to die in Ireland in 1845?A．Food pollution.B．Poisonous potatoes.C．An uncurable disease.D．Lack of enough food.25．What does the underlined word “Others” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Species of food crops. B．Potato plants. C．Farmers.D．Seeds.26．Why does the author mention the Philippines?A．To show many food species have disappeared.B．To explain how to increase food production.C．To stress the importance of food diversity.D．To prove the necessity of growing rice.27．Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?A．It’s dangerous to grow new food species.B．The work started by Nikolay Vavilov was useless.C．Storing seeds and planting them are both important.D．Foods grown from older seeds are cheaper but taste bad.CWearable sensors (传感器) could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into English，providing a hightech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who don't understand sign language.Engineers at Texas A & M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a person's arms.The device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors：one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular movements in the arm.A program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the English translation.“Most of the technology was based on visionbased or camerabased solutions，” said study lead researcher Roozbeh Jafari，an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Texas A & M University.These existing designs, Jafari said，are not enough，because often when someone is talking with sign language，he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements.“I thought maybe we s hould look into combining motion sensors andmuscle activation，”Jafari told Live Science.“And the idea here was to build a wearable device.”The researchers have built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations.Jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program，the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used，in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.One drawback of it is that the system has to be“trained ” to respond to each individual that wears the device，Jafari said.This training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times，which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.28．How does the new device work?A．By figuring out gestures from fingers.B．By connecting the wrist and the fingers.C．By linking the arm and the fingers.D．By collecting information from the wrist and the arm.29．The researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to ________.A．make it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talkingB．make the translation process fasterC．compete with existing designsD．make it userfriendly30．We can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4 by “ ________ ”．A．necessary B．influentialC．extensive D．essential31．What can we infer from the text?A．The device has greatly increased in sales.B．The device still requires much improvement.C．We should work out of 30 minutes.D．We should be trained to respond quickly.DIt was about five in the morning in Ontario，Canada，when Donna Strickland's phone rang.The Nobel Prize committee was on the line in Stockholm，calling to tell her she had won the prize in physics.“I wondered if it was a joke，” Strickland said in an interview with a Nobel official after the call.She had been asleep when the call arrived.“Something was wrong because it came so early in the morning.But then I knew it was the right day，and it would have been a cruel joke.”Strickland，an associate professor at the University of Waterloo，shares thehonor with two other scientists for their work in the 1980s in transforming lasers (激光) into tiny tools that today have countless applications.The prize money of $1.4 million will be shared among the three.Half of the prize went to Strickland and her cooperator Gérard Mourou，a professor at the École Poly technique in France.The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin，a retired physicist who worked at the famous Bell Labs in the United States.Strickland's win is historic in more than one way.It's been over 55 years since a woman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics last time.And she is only the third woman to receive the prize in the Nobel's over 117year existence.In 1903，Marie Curie became the firstever woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.For the next 60 years，no women phy sicists were awarded.Maria GoeppertMayer became the second woman physicist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963.Strickland herself was surprised to learn she was the third woman to receive the honor in physics.“Is that all，really？I thought there might have been more，” she said at a press conference Tuesday.“We need to celebrate women physicists，because we're out there.Hopefully，in time，it will start to move forward at a faster rate.”32．What was Donna's first reaction when told she won the Nobel Prize?A．She felt all efforts paid off.B．She was skeptical of the news.C．She was too excited to say a word.D．She was annoyed at being awaken up.33．How much was Donna rewarded for winning the Nobel Prize?A．About $350，000.B．About $700，000.C．About $1.4 million.D．About $2.8 million.34．What is the Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Strickland's achievements in physics.B．The history of the Nobel Prize in Physics.C．The struggle of women physicists to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.D．Three women scientists who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in history.35．What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．The Nobel Prize in Physics.B．The achievement of women physicists.C．The celebration of the Nobel Prize winners.D．Awarding women physicists the Nobel Prize in Physics.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。

甘肃高一高中英语期中考试带答案解析

甘肃高一高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解E AND EAT HEREWang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. "Nothing could be better," he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. "Hello, Lao Li," he called. "Your usual?" But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.Only slimming foods served here.Make yourself thin again!Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. "Welcome," she said. "My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day." Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:Want to feel fit and energetic?Come and eat here! Discounts today!Our food gives you energy all day!The competition between the two restaurants was on!【1】Something terrible must have happened to Wang Peng’ restaurant because ________.A．he didn’t got up early and prepared his menu.B．he served too much fat and oil in his foodC．the food in Yong Hui’s restaurant is more deliciousD．Lao Li didn’t go into his restaurant【2】The strength of the diet in Wang Peng’s restaurant was that it provided _______.A．barbecued mutton and roast porkB．stir-fried vegetables and fried riceC．sugary cold cola and ice creamD．more energy-giving food【3】The underlined sentence may have the same meaning as ________.A．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people without being discovered.B．Wang Peng could allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people.C．Wang Peng could not allow Yong Hui to tell lies to people and got away.D．Wang Peng could not have Yong Hui telling lies, then getting away with people.【4】From paragraph 4 we can know that Wang Peng ______.A．was hard working because went to study in the libraryB．tried to get himself to be more learned(博学的)C．wanted to study the differences between the food that served in his restaurant and Yong Hui’sD．just searched for a better menu【5】Why did Wang Peng feel more hopeful as he drove back home after he came out of the library? A．Because he felt with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back.B．Because he found Young Hui’s food was not better than his.C．Because he could cook something delicious attract more customers.D．Because he found a better menu in the library.2.The Million Pound Bank NoteAct I, Scene 4(Outside a restaurant Henry looks at the envelope without opening it and decides to go in. He sits down at atable next to the front window.)OWNER: (seeing Henry's poor appearance) That one's reserved. This way, please. (to the waiter) Take this gentleman's order, Horace.HENRY: (after sitting down and putting the letter on the table) I'd like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak. Make it extra thick. I'd also like a cup of coffee and a pineapple dessert.WAITER: Right, sir. I'm afraid it'll cost a large amount of money.HENRY: I understand. And I'll have a large glass of beer.WAITER: OK. (The waiter leaves and soon returns with all the food.)HOSTESS: My goodness! Why, look at him. He eats like a wolf.OWNER: We'll see if he's clever as a wolf, eh?HENRY: (having just finished every bit of food) Ah, waiter. (waiter returns) Same thing again, please. Oh, and another beer.WAITER: Again? Everything?HENRY: Yes, that's right. (sees the look on the waiter's face) Anything wrong?WAITER: No, not at all. (to the owner) He's asked for more of the same.OWNER: Well, it is well-known that Americans like to eat a lot. Well, we'll have to take a chance. Go ahead and let him have it.WAITER: (reading the bill after the meal) All right. That's two orders of ham and eggs, two extra thick steaks, two large glasses of beer, two cups of coffee and two desserts.HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall) Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?WAITER: (in a rude manner) What's there to wait for?OWNER: All right, Horace. I'll take care of this.HENRY: (to owner) That was a wonderful meal. It's amazing how much pleasure you get out of tile simple things in life, especially if you can't have them for a while.OWNER: Yes, very interesting. Now perhaps, sir, if you pay your bill I can help the other customers.HENRY: (looking at the clock on the wall again) Well, I see it's two o'clock. (he opens the envelope and holds a million pound bank note in his hands. Henry is surprised but the owner and waiter are shocked) I'm very sorry. But ... I ... I don't have anything smaller.OWNER: (still shocked and nervous) Well .. er ... just one moment. Maggie, look! (the hostess screams, the other customers look at her and she puts a hand to her mouth) Do you think it's genuine?HOSTESS: Oh, dear, I don't know. I simply don't know.OWNER: Well, I did hear that the Bank of England had issued two notes in this amount ... Anyway, I don't think it can be a fake. People would pay too much attention to a bank note of this amount. No thief would want that to happen.HOSTESS: But he's in rags!OWNER: Perhaps he's a very strange, rich man. (as if he has discovered something for the first time) Why, yes! That must be it!HOSTESS: (hits her husband's arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once. OWNER: (to Henry) I'm so sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this bank note.HENRY: But it's all I have on me.OWNER: Oh, please, don't worry, sir. Doesn't matter at all. We're so very glad that you even entered our little eating place. Indeed, sir, I hope you'll come here whenever you like.HENRY: Well, that's very kind of you.OWNER: Kind, sir? No, it's kind of you. You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit here is a great honour! As for the bill, sir, please forget it.HENRY: Forget it? Well ... thank you very much.

2021—2022学年度高一中期英语试题第Ⅰ卷本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共120分，考试时间100分钟。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

AHere are four must-see places for you to visit in England.Windsor CastleNot only is it the world’s largest continuously inhabited (有人居住的) castle, it’s also the oldest. And it is also one of the Queen’s main residences—she spends most of her private weekends here, so some parts can be closed, depending on the time of year.Admission: Adults $27 , Children under 17 $15.75Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace, the official London residence of the Queen and Prince Philip, opens to the public when the royals are on summer vacation. You won’t be able to look around the whole palace.A Royal Day Out ticket giv es access to the Queen’s Gallery, the Royal Mews and the Changing of the Guard, plus a walk in the Garden. An audio (音频的) guide is included in the price. Admission: Adults $52, Children under 17 $29Westminster AbbeyYou can walk the same floor as Kate did on the day of her wedding to Prince William here. And you can know things about 16 more weddings, 17 tombs of the kings and queens of England and the coronations of almost every king and queen for over 1,000 years.Admission: Adults $28, Children 16 and under $11.50. Tickets are cheaper online.Kensington PalaceIt’s now the official London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It was where Diana, Princess of Wales lived until she died. The White Garden here was created in memory of her. You can visi t the King’s State Apartments, the Queen’s State Apartments and gardens.Admission: Adults $20, Children under 16 Free. Tickets are cheaper online.1. What will you do in Buckingham Palace?A. See the Queen walking in it.B. Walk around the whole palace.C. Have an audio guide.D. Visit the White Garden.2. How much should a couple with a child aged 9 pay to visit Kensington Palace?A. $20.B. $36.C. $40.D. $56.3. What do we know about the four places?A. Their online tickets are cheaper.B. They are related to the British royals.C. They are open to the public in summer.D. They don’t charge little children for admission.BMaking friends is a skill like many other skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends，you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activities.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short，too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other per son at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.Try to act selfconfidently even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers，such as a new classroom，walk tall and straight，look directly at other people and smile. If you see someon e you’d like to speak to，say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.4．The best title of the text may be________.A．Friendship B．How to Make FriendsC．Meeting New People D．Facing the Unknown5．You can’t make friends if you________.A．take some actions B．go to where there are peopleC．avoid meeting people D．won’t start a conversation6．Friendship is based on________.A．self-confidence B．meeting more unknown peopleC．more talking and smiling to people D．taking from and giving to people7．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Making friends needs practising.B．Making friends needs to be more active in starting a conversation.C．When meeting someone，make him feel nice and starting a conversation.D．Before making friends with someone，judge if he’s too this or too that.CHow far would you go to make a good impression in a new job? A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get where he would work on time.Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before he started his new job i n Bellhops, a furniture moving company. Unable to find a ride, Carr figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the customer’s house in Pelham. And then he left at midnight so that he could reach there by 8 a.m. the next morning.Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4 a.m., so they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8 a.m.The police then took Carr to the home of the customer Jenny Lamey. Lamey suggested that Carr rest for a while because he had just walked for a long time, but Carr insisted on starting working at once.While working, Carr told Lamey that he and his mother moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina, a devastating hurricane that hit the US in 2005. He worked part-time to cover living costs and pay college fees. Greatly touched by Carr, Lamey started a GoFundMe page to help Carr raise money to get his car fixed. Walter Carr’s story touched many others around the US. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73,000 to his GoFundMe page. Besides, Carr received more job offers and won a scholarship. Grateful for others’ help, Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation, and he is determined to give back more.8. Why did Carr have to walk to Pelham to work?A. He couldn’t afford a ride after a hurricane destroyed his car.B. The police took away his car after he was caught speeding.C. He had no choice after he had a car crash in the dark.D. He failed to find a ride after his car broke down.9. What did Carr do first after he was brought to his destination?A. He started to work immediately.B. He had breakfast and took a rest.C. He told the customer his family background.D. He chatted with the customer about a church nearby.10. What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Quite hard to predict.B. Possibly preventable.C. Causing a lot of damage.D. Increasingly widespread.11. Why did Jenny Lamey start a GoFundMe page?A. To help Carr buy a new car.B. To make Larr’s story popular.C To raise money to repair Carr’s car. D. To express her admiration for Carr.DChildren spend more time messaging each other on phones and websites than talking in person, a survey has revealed. Text messages and social networking sites have become the common mode of youngsters aged 8 to 14.A survey of modern childhood found that many youngsters are conscious that they are spending too much time on their computers and enjoy themselves the most when playing outside. But the lure (诱惑) of electronic products proves too strong for a quarter, while a fifth say their parents don’t like them playing outside because they are worried about strangers and injuries.The “I Generation report” suggested that youngsters are increasingly health-conscious and skeptical (持怀疑态度的) of commercialization, including gender-based labelling on toys and pop videos released by singers. More than half of those questioned care about eating healthily and one in 10 lectures their own parents about the food they are eating or buying, 42 percent of those questioned own a smartphone, with 36 percent admitting spending more time communicating with friends via instant messaging, such as texts or networking websites, than talking in person. Only one child in 100 said that being happy, having a loving family and being clever were taken as the most crucial (决定性的) elements in their lives.Cary Cooper, the professor of organizational psychology and health at Lancaster University, said social media were contributing to youngsters becoming more independent. They had a sense of individuality due to exposure to a range of media.The survey follows major state-backed research which found that youngsters are turning their back on drink, drugs and smoking. It found a dramatic drop in the number of secondary school students trying and regularly using drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Some analysts said that thanks to the rise of social media, millions of teenagers are spending their time at home in their rooms rather than out on the streets.12. Why can’t 25 percent of the children get away from electronic products?A. They are not allowed to hang out long.B. They are protected from strangers and injuries.C. They enjoy themselves most when playing outside.D. They can’t resist the temptation of the products13. The survey of modern childhood found that many youngsters ________.A. are fans of the pop videos released by singersB. message each other more rather than chat in personC. are doubtful about possessing the latest smartphonesD. pay no attention to their lifestyle nowadays14. The attitude of Cary Cooper towards social media is ________.A. objectiveB. negativeC. supportiveD. unclear15. The last paragraph is written to show ________.A. the benefits of social mediaB. the drop of taking drugs in youngstersC. the exposure to a range of mediaD. youngsters are becoming more conscious第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident. After the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court. When the accident happened, myroommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He said he had good reason to charge meand that if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsibl e for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report only contained ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to fire him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time … and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America, money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality; secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its advantages and disadvantages.【1】The author’s roommate offered to help h im because ________.A．he felt sorry for the author.B．he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC．he knew the doctor was a very good oneD．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer【2】 A good lawyer is important for the author to _______.A．be properly treatedB．talk with the person responsible for the accidentC．recover before he leaves AmericaD．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury【3】 Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?A．The author has learned a lot through the experience.B．Everything about America is advantageous.C．The author’s roommate helped him but charged for that.D．The author’s final examination report only contained ten lines but cost $215.【4】 What conclusion can you draw from this story?A．Going to court is something very common in America.B．One must be very careful while driving a car.C．There are more disadvantages in America than advantages.D．Money is more important than other things in the US.2.While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce itseffect when it can’t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．◆Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.◆Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stre ssful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor．◆Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping orwork on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．◆Make a list of things to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．【1】Which of the following statements shows that you have fallen into stressful situations？A．You can't sleep well all the time．B．You have a break after work．C．You always feel happy and relaxed．D．You only do one thing at a time．【2】According to the passage，how do you make a list of things to do?A．Try to take care of everything at once．B．Do one thing at a time．C．Only do the most important thing．D．Have a break from your work．【3】What is the best title for the passage?A．How to Deal with Stress?B．How to Make Time for Yourself?C．How to Take Care of Yourself?D．How to Make a List of Things to Do?【4】Which of the following would be the advice to deal with stress according to the passage?A．just lie in bed for a restB．always listen to pop musicC．insist on doing workD．make a list to do things one by one3.Zoe, Damacela, 19, didn't have nice c lothes when she was young. It wasn't easy for Zoe’s hard-working single mother to make ends meet. They moved in and out of homeless shelters.Everything changed for Zoe in grade nine. At that time, she heard about a sewing(缝纫) class at her school. She signed up and couldn't wait to turn her designs into clothes. The color of the first dress she made was white-black strips. Soon the clothes she wore were all made by her. Other girls at school loved her designs too. They asked her if they could buy dresses from her. Zoe sold her first dress for $13. Unfortunately, it cost her $25 to make the dress. “I had the creativity in designs," says Zoe. “But I really had no idea about business.”Zoe kept selling the clothes she designed. Her business was booming, and even the girls who had ever teased her became her customers. In the eleventh grade, Zoe took a business class. She learned how to price her clothes so that she could be sure to make a fair profit.Her business teacher suggested she take part in a contest for teenaged entrepreneurs (企业家). The contest was for teens from all over the United States. Zoe sent in her business plan, which explained how she planned to make her company grow. She won the second prize in the end. Zoe ’s success became a news item.Superm odel Tyra Banks heard about it and she invited Zoe to take part in her TV show. “Being recognized I felt really unreal,”says Zoe.

Three-person teams from each school had five hours to solve eleven real world problems.The students first listed the problems in order of difficulty. Then they figured out the requirements of each. They designed ways to test their solutions. And they wrote the needed software systems. Even the winning team from Shanghai Jiaotong University in China was not able to solve all the problems within the given limit. Stanford’s team solved five problems and finished in fourteenth place. Stanford was one of twenty-one American universities that took part in the contest this year.The official name of the Battle of the Brains is the ACM International Collegiate Contest. The first final competition was held in 1977 at the Association for Computer Machinery Computer Science Conference. Today, a network of universities holds area competitions that send the winners to the world finals, now organized by IBM. Contest spokesman Dong Heintzman says the world champions receive prizes and scholarships. They are also guaranteed an offer of employment or internship(实习) with IBM. He said, “We have had past world champions that IBM has gone and employed in our Zurich research laboratory and are now working on some of the leading edge materials in science and physics. We have a world finalist from China who’s been working on the Watson Supercomputer that in the near future will be playing Jeopardy(一种超级计算机名称)against the best Jeopardy players in the world.

Which of the following can best describe the four places?A. They are hidden in remote areas.B. They are shaped by limestone.C. They are created by local people.D. They are accessible through a hole.BSitting on the “Roof of the World”, Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve is one of the world’s hotspots for biodiversity protection. Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest, is to be measured again by a Chinese team to make sure its exact height after last official measurement.“Conducting research and protecting the region can help us learn more about the origin and development of the earth, as well as our human-beings and wildlife,” said Cheng Pengfei, president of the Chinese Academy of Surveying & Mapping (CASM).The weather in the Mount Qomolangma area changes frequently. While the maximum temperature in the tent is more than 20 degrees Celsius, or even 30 degrees Celsiusat noon, it may start snowing in the afternoon, and a gale may spring up at night, even blowing away the tents. Those taking part in the mission are ready for the task after preparing thoroughly at the base camp.The complex geological environment has formed diverse landforms in the area. Distinctive snow mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and glaciers can be found. And the unique ecological environment has also established a special biological diversity.4.What can we learn from the text?A.The ecological environment around the Mount Everest has nothing to do with its biodiversity.B.The height of Mount Everest has been measured before.C.The weather in Mount Everest area is relatively steady with a small temperature change.D.Learning more about wildlife in the area is one of the most important purposes of the research.5.What does the underlined word possibly mean in the 3rd paragraph?A.a name of an animal.B. a kind of grass.C a strong wind D. a name of a machine6.Where can you most probably see the text?A.In a geography textbook.B. In a travelling brochure.C In a government report. D. In a newspaperCFancy being face-to-face with a woolly mammoth (猛犸象). It would be quite a sight. Scientists believe it would tower above 11 feet tall and have a sloping back, a long, powerful trunk, and sharp, curved tusks that stretch up to 10 feet. Its thick hair would be up to three feet long. It would weigh six tons—about as heavy as a bus.You’ve probably never seen a giant furry elephant before. Actually, you definitely haven’t. The species has been extinct for thousands of years.But a few years from now, you might be able to see a woolly mammoth for yourself. Scientists believe they have the technology to recreate it.A team of Korean and Russian scientists plan to clone a woolly mammoth. How will they do it?Several woolly mammoth bodies have already been discovered in Siberia, an icy region in Russia. The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths. In a laboratory, they’ll use them to create a new cluster (群) of cells called an embryo. The embryo will be placed into the womb of a living female elephant. That elephant will then give birth to a baby woolly mammoth.The scientists believe the whole process will take five years. Many scientists and animal lovers can’t wait. It will be so exciting to be able to bring a creature that has been extinct for thousands of years back to life. People would travel from around the world for the chance to see a living woolly mammoth. By observing the way the creature looks and acts, scientists might make brand-new discoveries about the history of animal life.Other experts aren’t so sure about the woolly mammoth project. One big question is what to do with a mammoth. The Earth has changed in the thousands of years since these animals roamed the planet. Where would the creature live, and would it be able to survive in today’s climate? Some believe that the money being spent on the experiment could be better spent on other important scientific projects, such as fighting diseases.But the South Korean and Russian scientists are sticking to their plan. They admit they have a big challenge ahead. There is no guarantee that they will succeed, but they're hopeful.7．The first paragraph describes the mammoth's ________.A．habitat B．food C．appearance D．lifespan8．What is the challenge for scientists to clone a mammoth?A．Whether they have enough money for the project.B．Whether the mammoth can adapt to the new environment.C．Whether the mammoth can survive the modern diseases.D．Whether their plan wins support from the public.9．The last paragraph implies that the attitude of scientists to cloning mammoths is ________.A．negative B．Disapproving C．optimistic D．doubtful 10．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists are finding ways to deal with mammoths.B．Scientists try to find out the history of animal life.C．Scientists plan to bring the mammoth back to life.D．Scientists pay little attention to the return of the mammoth.第二节（本节共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that thefather’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer49. Whose baby would have breathing diseases?A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are bornB.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are bornC.Mother who don’t smoke at allD.Mother whose mother smokes50.

This passage is to __________.A. warn us of the danger of smoking before children.B. warn people with breathing problems not to smoke.C. warn us that mothers who smoke may affect their children’s health.D. warn us that fathers who smoke may affect their children as mothers4.Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose（葡萄糖）.Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose is called photosynthesis (光合作用).That means “putting together with light .” A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn c omes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis .The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green Chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are c overed up by the green Chlorophyll. Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples, glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.52 the underlined word“chlorophyll” in the first Para means_________in Chinese.A 叶绿素B 氧气C 胡萝卜素D 蛋白质53 The way _________is called photosynthesis.A Plants get CO2 from the airB plants take water from the groundC plants turn water and CO2 into glucose.D Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow.54 The gas called carbon dioxide is from the_________A groundB rootsC airD sunlight55 Which of the following is not true?A．when autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.B．During winter trees rest and live on the food they store during the summer.’C．During winter small amounts of yellow and orange colors are kept in the leaves all the time.D．Trees begin to stop making food in summer.5.In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families or friends to get advice.Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programmes and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers .Most hot lines are completely anonymous ,that is to say , callers do not have to say their names or telephone n umbers. Most hot lines are usually free. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-time people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short training before starting to work on the hot lines. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems56. A hot line is a telephone line_________A that is hotB through which people get adviceC whose number no one knowsD through which callers take a short training57. the underlined word“anonymous”in the passage means_________in Chinese.A secretB well-knownC exactD wonderful58.

We have chosen to present the International Olympic Committee( IOC) with the four sports because they are creative, appealing to youth and completely in line with our vision. They reflect perfectly Paris 2024’s identity.Breakdancing is an example of a sport “which can be played anywhere and anytime in urban and other environment”. It appeared at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires in the form of head-to-head “battles”. In competitive breakdancing,“breakdancers”face off in “battles “against each other, either as individuals or teams. Breakdancers use a mix of physical and artistic skills combined with elements of gymnastics or acrobatics(杂技).The IOC had announced that the number of competitors at Paris 2024 would be restricted to 10, 500, which limited the opportunity to add sports. But the organizers said the inclusion of the four sports in Paris would not necessitate the construction of permanent facilities and would involve just 248 competitors, of which 32 would be in breakdancing. The surfing events are likely to be held in established surfing centers such as Biarritz The inclusion still need to be rubber-stamped by the IOC, which is expected to decide on which sports to be added in Paris after Tokyo 2020.4.What do we know about breakdancing?A.It involves multiple skills.B.It’s limited to group competition.C. It will show up in Paris 2024.D.It never appeared in the world events.5.Why do have Paris organizers chosen the four sports?A.They attract young people.B.They perfectly reflects Paris’identity.C.They make Paris more urban and artistic.D.They can be played anytime andanywhere.6.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.10,500 competitors will compete for the new sports.B.More surfing centers will be specially designed for Paris 2024.C.The IOC will reject the proposal because of inadequate facilities.D.The inclusion won’t require additional competition space to be built.7.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word”rubber-stamped ” in the last paragraph?A.ApprovedB. Canceled.C. Submitted.D. DesignedCA new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.The eyes, we say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms(算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality, “wrote the researchers, led by the University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus to record their eye movements and then determines their personality traits (特点)with” well-established questionnaires” for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as”neuroticism, reversion(外向性)， agreeableness， conscientiousness as well as perceptual curiosity”, wrote the scientists.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices even robots, allowing more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” said Loetscher.“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information,”said Loetscher in a statement quoted by Indian Express. This search provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signal.The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britains Daily Mail newspaper.8.What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A Understand B. Stare at C Search for D Concern about9. How did the researchers conduct the research?A. It was carried out in a lab.B.42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.C. The students’ daily movements were tracked.D. Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.10. According to Tobias Loetscher, what can we know?A. Robots and computers are socially conscious.B People care less about improved, personalized services.C. Today’s robots and computers can get accustomed to non-verbal information.D. The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Human personality TraitsB. What Human Eye Movement AreC. Tell Personality by Eye MovementD. How Humans and Machines InteractDAdults perform better when they have a lot to gain or lose. But scientists did not know whether teens did too. To find out, Insel asked 88 people between the ages of 13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participants looked at pictures of planets on a computer screen. They had to click as fast as they could when they saw a planet with designs. They were not supposed to click if a planet had no designs.The participants could earn 20 cents for right answers but lose 10 cents for wrong ones. In other sessions, they’d get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong ones. Players of all ages wanted to win the money, and cared more about bigger rewards than smaller ones.As Insel expected, adults performed better when the stakes were high. But teens 13 to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19- or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.Insel’s team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.Brains change and mature during adolescence. And not all parts grow at the same rate. Insel was interested in two areas in particular. One is deep inside the brain and just above the ears. Called the ventral striatum (腹侧纹状体), it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ventral striatum becomes mature during the teen years.The brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶) takes longer to mature. This area is important for planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.Nerve pathways — think of them as the brain’s “wiring”— connect the ventral striatum and prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefrontal cortex matures later, the wiring between the two may not be complete until adulthood.12. Which of the following can explain Insel’s research?A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects.B. Adults behave better with higher rewards.C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.13. What does the underlined word “stakes” refer to?A. The final results of games or experiments.B. The things that can be gained or lost in races.C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.14. From the passage, we can know ___________.A. the experiment aims to find out adults’ behaviour facing high stakesB. teens have better performances in the first roundsC. adults care less about the experiment at firstD. adults and teens show differently with high stakes15. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Unlike adults, teens don’t perform better with high stakesB. Who perform better, adults or children?C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one’s passionD. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarly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。
