A Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl(珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some housework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green! Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace?” “Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!” Jenny said.“But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay?” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.” A week later, her father once again asked Jenny for the necklace after her favorite story. “Oh, Daddy, not my necklace! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite.” “No, that’s okay, ”her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss.“God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.” Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearl necklace and with the other he pulled out of his

Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer isn’t easy at all. He can only relax whe n he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich andhysterical(歇斯底里的) that they do anything to get a souvenir.

Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos(热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a chest of drawers opening and a rustling.They remained sitting in the parlor（客厅）, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the parlor. Something was hopelessly broken.It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder abruptly, startled, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them had touched it, not even a little bit. True, it hadn’t stood stea dily when their host placed it on the table, but it hadn’t fallen then.The crash of the thermos caused the host, with a box of sugar cubes in his hand,“It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!”The father started to say something. Then he muttered, “Sorry, I touched it and it fell.”“It doesn’t matter,” the host said.Later, when they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, did you touch it?”“No. But it stood so close to me.”“But you didn’t touch it. I saw your reflection in the windowpane. You were。

2017-2018学年高二下学期开学考试英语试题 含答案
高二英语开学考试试题（寒假作业过关检测题）(考试时间：120 分钟试卷总分：150 分)第一部分：阅读理解(满分30 分) 阅读下列短文，并从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
AI’m Evan Ducker. I’m just like every other 15-year-old boy, except I was born with a red birthmark.Some birthmarks are signs of serious medical conditions. I’m very fortunate—mine isn’t, I pretty much live a regular life, except for people asking me about it all the time, which can get annoying (恼人的) sometimes.When I was about 4 years old, I asked my mom why there weren’t any characters with birthmarks in the books she would read to me. When we went to the library, we realized there weren’t any available for little kids. Worse than that, the books available to older kids and adults described characters with birthmarks as unattractive. So I decided to write my own.I based the story on all the real things that happened in my life. But instead of people, the characters in the book are real animals from the Galapagos Islands, including red-footed booby birds (鲣鸟). I picked a booby bird as the main character because the birds have red feet due to a vascular (血管的) condition, similar to a human birthmark!It was really tough to get my book published. It took a long time because a lot of publishers refused to publish it. They would say there wasn’t a big enough market for a book about birthmarks.But my mom never gave up trying to help make my dream come true. And in 2005, she finally took her own money and self-published Buddy Booby’s Birthmark. After it was published, I got letters from readers all over the world. They all shared their stories and thanked me for sharing mine. T eachers wrote to tell me that my book changed the way classmates treated each other and that my book was helping kids to accept and appreciate their differences.Then, as more teachers started reading my book, I created a free global reading event, the “International Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read—Along for T olerance and Awareness”.1.The author’s birthmark seems to .A.be easy to removeB. annoy him all the timeC. cause serious health problemsD. bring him some trouble2.What the author found in the library made him .A.regretfulB. disappointedC. stressedD. bored 3.What did the publishers think of the author’s book?A.It wouldn’t sell well.B. It was rather uninteresting.C. It was poorly written.D. It wasn’t fit for kids to read.4.The author’s book Buddy Booby’s Birthmark .A.was a best-seller in 2005B. was the first book about birthmarksC. made a difference to its readersD. helped kids all in love with readingBMy first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative (权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school she was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into myheart (使我但战心惊)，and everyone else’s of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class, I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. T ogether with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.T o everyone’s surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to be my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. Truly, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was always ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not wantto run the risk of provoking (激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.5.During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was .A.proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded6.What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Win her favor.B. Embarrass her.C. Argue with her.D. Follow her closely.7.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B. Miss Vicki’s jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vicki’s class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.8.What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph? A.She was dismissed form the school. B. She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.CStrong writing is one of the most important skills for any college student. Many non-native English speakers have no idea what professors in the U.S. expect from a college paper. A college paper is a piece of writing than can be as long as 20 or more pages. Even native English-speaking college students struggle with how to succeed with such a difficult responsibility.Deborah Dessaso is the Writing Resource Coordinator at the University of the District of Columbia. She says college writing is very different from what many students experience earlier in their education. Most U.S. high schools teach students how to write five paragraph essays. Students are often unprepared for the amount of research they have to do for a college paper.Nabila Hijazi is one of the assistant directors of the University of Maryland Writing Center. Hijazi is also an international student from Syria in the second year of her PhD program in English studies. She says the language barrier is not the biggest problem for students whose first language is not English.In a traditional paper, the first paragraph often contains the thesis statement. This statement is a one-sentence summary of the paper's main argument. The first paragraph of a college paper, or any paper, is usually the most challenging. The first paragraph is also the most important because it will guide the structure and show the voice of the entire paper. But not every type of writing is the same. There are also case studies and field reports in addition to traditional papers.Dessaso says that the best option for a student who wants improve their writing is to readReading examples of the type of paper your professor expects you to write can be very helpful. Professors sometimes provide examples. Y ou can also search the Internet for examples of papers about similar topics. But, you should never copy another person's work. Professors will find out if the work is copied and you will get in a lot of trouble.Hijazi also says that writing a paper takes time. Students should let other students read their work and listen to criticism.9.What do you know about a college paper?A.College students also call it a five-paragraph essay.B.It is easy for native English-speaking college students.C.It usually presents the theme in the first two paragraphs.D.The length of the paper is beyond expectation.10.According to Deborah Dessaso we can know that .A.American high school students do better in college writing.B.reading similar articles cam make you gain much bee internet benefit.C.your professor can give you clues on how to do your writing.D.surfing the Internet is an easy way to complete your writing.11.How did the author develop the passage?A.By making comparisonB. By giving explanationsC. By arising debatesD. By following time order12.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Taking Steps T owards a Great College PaperB. College Writing Makes Students StruggleC. Great Barriers Stand Before College StudentsD. Never Give up When Y ou Are WritingDIn the past 24 hours, I have been gifted with two amazing opportunities for kindness. The first happened yesterday. On my way home I saw a small dog running across the very busy street. He ran into the neighborhood, so I went off in search of him in hoping that I could reunite him with his owners. After a cat and mouse game, he finally decided I was worthy of at least a little of his trust and came close enough to me for me to grab him.After taking him to be scanned for a microchip, I learned that he had disappeared eight months ago from his owners who lived an hour and a half away. As I had some free time , I drove him back to his rightful owners. He and his human mommy were so glad to see each another! It gave me a good smile to end the year.This morning my family and I went to a friend’s home to help her get her things back in order. She was one of the unfortunate people whose home was recently destroyed by the Rowlett, TX tornado. Her home was a total loss. Our job today was to help her sort through the debris and find anything with actual value that she might want to take with her.My husband helped to move furniture and other things to storage while our younger children helped clean up the yard. By the time we were done today, there was no denying that the home had met with disaster, we had gone far to restore order from the chaos that had been there before.My thought in entering the day was that our friend, who had been having trouble sleeping, was being affected by that chaos more negatively. I hoped that if we could give a hand, she would finally start to feel some sense of peace and allow herself the much-needed rest she so deserved. She posted on Facebook just a little while ago that for he first time she was sleeping at night. For me, that is the greatest gift I could give her.

Whether you’re an occasional teen smoker or a lifetime smoker, quitting can be really tough. To successfully stop smoking, you’ll need to not only change your behavior but also find healthier ways to manage your moods. With the right game plan, though, you can break the addiction and join the millions of people who’ve kicked the habit for good.Start your stop smoking plan with STARTS = Set a date.Choose a date within the next two weeks, so you have enough time to prepare. And you’d better avoid the day when you may be stressed.T = Tell family, friends that you plan to quit.Let your friends and family in on your plan to quit smoking and tell them you need their support and encouragement to stop. Look for a quit buddy who wants to stop smoking as well. You can help each other get through the tough times.A = Anticipate (预料) and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting.Most people who begin smoking again do so within the first three months.

But we usually return home tired and weak.It doesn't have to be this way.Come home refreshed after an active trip! Don't be too tired!Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. It's all in defining what an active vacation is. We don't expect you to run slowly, or backpacking. Well, we ask the sedentary(坐着的) vacationers not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.These kinds of activities aren't just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. And after all, isn't that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary. Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.Don't allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake; make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Heck, merely standing in waist-high(高及腰际的) water is a goodexercise, thanks to the action of the water. And you'll feel so much more alive!Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don't happen in a car seat. Don't wait for tiredness or nature's call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and spread, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It's important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.5. The writer writes the text mainly to .A. tell us how to make our vacations relaxingB. introduce the relationship between vacations and healthC. show us where we should go for our vacationsD. explain to us why we feel tired when traveling6. What does the underlined word “refreshed” mean?A. Full and excitedB. Pleasant but tiredC. Feeling less tiredD. Feeling regretted7. Wh at advantage can “the activities” in Paragraph 5 bring?A. They can bring us more chances to get outB. They just can keep us feel excited and confidentC. They can save us much time and make the trip meaningfulD. They can improve our health as well as making us feel easyCThe scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, where global warming could soon turn the global climate(气候)into a new ice age, may never occur, according to new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate date(数据)obtained from the Antarctic ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层)have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past. The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmerperiods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years. Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.“ If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads, ” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “ Now we have eight examples of how the clim ate goes in and out of ice ages… and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future. ”Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “ In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today, ” said Dr Wolff.8. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica , scientists have found that ________.A. snowfalls are kept in certain patternsB. the lowest temperature there isC. the depth of ice is 3,000 metersD. the ice has existed for 15,000 years9. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through_________.A. separating carbon dioxide from the airB. examining the growth rings of treesC. comparing temperatures in different areasD. studying the ice and air caught in each layer10. We can infer from Eric Wolff’s words that _________. .A. there is something wrong with the dataB. a new ice age will not come in the near futureC. greenhouse effect is always a bad thingD. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future11. What would be the best title for the passage ?A. Warm period to last about 15,000 yearsB. Research over the Antarctic areaC. Report on the eight ice ages in the pastD. Hollywood movies and the global climateDWhen we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people many years ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the harmful smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. The burning produces wastes, some of which remain in the air, causing air pollution. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and sometimes when an accident happens in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.On land, the accumulation(堆积的) of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and be bad for our health. This is because people can't deal with rubbish in a right way. If we do not fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions(革命). On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modern science and technology. People will continually find new ways to control pollution. However, we may still have a long way to go before we have a "clean" world.12. The underlined word "poisoning" in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. dealing with the rubbishB. making the air and water dirtyC. bringing in something goodD. making the air and water clean13. How can we fight against pollution?A. To prevent the industrial revolutions.B. To control air pollution only.C. To stop the production of the factory.D. To rely on the help of science and technology.14. According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. We have found the best way to solve the pollution problem.B. We can reduce the ships to control the water pollution.C. The rubbish in the streets isn't bad for people's health.D. Pollution is a serious threat to us.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. How to deal with the rubbish in the streets.B. The problem of the oil from tankers.C. The serious pollution problems of water and air.D. The problem of controlling the industrial wastes.第二部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1分, 满分20分。

It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course,” she said. “Can we write him a letter?”She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.” My heart jumped. “Can the mailman go there?” I asked.“No, but I have an idea.” Mum drove to a party store and ret urned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for. “Just wait, honey. You’ll see. ” Mum told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mum was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mum. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face. She made a hole in the corner of the letter to tie it to the balloon. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining. “Okay, on the count of three, let it go. One, two, three. ” The balloon, carrying my letter, flew upwards against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds. Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had neverlet his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d keep on, fly up, and finally go beyond this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.21. When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother __________ .A. believed it was easy to do itB. felt it difficult to answerC. considered her a creative girlD. decided to make up a lie at once22. When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she __________ .A. became excitedB. jumped with joyC. started writing immediatelyD. didn’t believe her mother23. In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?A. An incurable disease.B. Her unforgettable memory.C. The pain her mother suffered.D. The hard time her father had.24. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable ExperienceB. Fly to HeavenC. The Strong Red BalloonD. A Great FatherBMyth: If you cut your hair, it will grow long faster.Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically determined. When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this makes your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.Myth: If you skip meals, you lose weight fast.Truth: There’s no truth in this advice. Not only will you not lose weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.Myth: If you swallow gum，it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says NeiIzenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels, so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结成块) within a minute or two”, suggests Dr. Izenberg.25. The length of your hair is determined by ________.A. cutting it oftenB. your geneC. the food you eatD. clearing up the dead split ends.26. According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________.A. help you lose weight fastB. help you lose weight slowlyC. cause you to become fatterD. make you burning food more quickly27. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach.B. Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it.C. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow in a few days later.D. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situationCWhat’s the most important thing in life?People’s answers vary greatly. F or British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. “Nothing is more special than a child,” he told the BBC.Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technology---more commonly known as “test-tube (试管) baby” technology---passed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87.“Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child,” said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London. “He leaves the world a much better place.”Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD ingenetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as “scary”, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US. Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. “People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature,” Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.“But Edwards was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing,” said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body. The first test-tube baby was born on July 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite people’s safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children. “IVF had moved from vision to reali ty and a new era in medicine had begun,” BBC commented.Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards' clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other “test-tube: children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth II the following year.Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. “He is like a granddad to me,” she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.He is a granddad to millions, in fact.28. What’s the article mainly about?A. The first test-tube baby.B. A new era in medicine.C. The inventor of IVF technology.D. The changes IVF technology has brought.29. The writer quoted Peter Braude to .A. show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his workB. describe what kind of person Edwards wasC. explain why he is loved by all childrenD. comment on his achievement30. The underlined word “opposition” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “”.A. attackB. supportC. testD. influence31. What is the correct order of events in Edwards’ life?a. He received a Nobel Prize.b. He struggled to raise funds.c. The first test-tube baby was born.d. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.e. He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside body.f. He started his experiments on IVF technology.A. f-e-b-c-a- dB. f-b-e-c-d-aC. f-b-e-c-a-dD. f-e-d-a-c-bDThe world’s richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he saidThis isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to so ending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this proble m,” he said.32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Interview with Bill GatesB. How Bill Gates SucceededC. Bill Gates’ RegretD. The Richest Billionaire33. The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.A. it is important to lay a good foundation of lifeB. food and clothing are basic needs for people’s lifeC. he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothesD. he never cares about buying food and clothing34. What advice did Bill Gates give?A. Avoid staying up too late.B. Be a good language learner.C. Do the dishes yourself at home.D. Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Bill Gates is also the founder of FacebookB. Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.C.

AThe following are letters to the editor of a school newspaper Dear editor,I’d like to express my opinion about grades. Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades. Fortunatel y, most educators are becoming aware of the fact that student s have different interests and abilities. I understand that grade s are useful, but grades often limit creativity. Competing for be tter grades causes many students to turn down opportunities t o pursue music, dramatics and sports. Grades force an arbitra ry (武断的) standard of success on everyone. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades be removed immediately. Howe ver, I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grad es. I hope that someday grades will become optional at Villag e High School.Magdalena SmithDrama ClubDear editor,I’d like to say something about grades. Let’s face the facts ab out grades. Grades perform three basic functions. First, grade s motivate students to work at their highest level of competen ce. Second, they act as a reward for hardworking students an d as a punishment to students who do not work hard. Finally, grades are used as an effective standard by which to measur e student achievement. Good grades help students to get job s and to get into university. I’ve spoken with a number of stud ents who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hire d primarily on the basis of their grades. My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year. I think g rades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon HarperScience Club1. Which of the following is not Magdalena Smith’s opinion?A. Students may give up the chance to learn music and sports for grades.B. Students’ creativity may not be developed for grades.C. Grades should be taken away at once.D. Grades should not be used to measure a person’s success .2. We can learn Simon Harper __________.A. is concerned about students’ creativityB. believes in the benefits of good gradesC. doesn’t work too hard at his studiesD. supports studen ts’ interests and abilities3. From the second letter, we can infer that Simon Harper is a /an __________.A. teacherB. headmasterC. advertiserD. stude ntBThere is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gai ned a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no lon ger be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he re alized that he still had partial function of his right hand and co uld still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurre d to him, “Why not write to other people who need encourage ment?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoner s is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his lett ers. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encourage ment. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability t o the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and sh ared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hop e of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison mini stry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and ch ecked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall t o pieces!”No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have u nique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who des perately need messages of encouragement and strength.4. Before the man had the accident, he __________.A. had visited local prisonsB. had toured around the worldC. had tried doing exercise to recover himselfD. had been f riends with the prison minister5. In order to live in a meaningful way, the man began to ____ ____.A. write to other people who needed encouragementB. rec eive the school educationC. meet the people who were depressedD. help other p eople who lost arms and legs6. From the officer’s short note we are told that __________.A. the man would be offered free paper to write letters onB. some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his lettersC. his letters were very popular among the prisonersD. the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stories about a Humorous PersonB. Popularit y of Special LettersC. Relationship between Writers and PrisonersD. Special Le tters of EncouragementCFor centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelin gs, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a col d-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get c old feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expressi on means being afraid to do something you have decided to d o. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, an d all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. Y ou are likely to get cold feet about being president when you u nderstand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably co mes from the physical act of turning your back toward someo ne, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a c old shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made t o you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who i s a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several po pular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of thei r lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody el se got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay r aise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.8.When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a dista nt way, you may express by “____”.A.I give him the cold shoulderB.I think he is a cold fishC.I think he is a cold-blooded man D.I’m likely to get cold feet9.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.A.she is out in the coldB.she is a cold fishC.she is a cold-blooded killer D.she gets cold feet10.We can use the expression “__________” to describe a ma n who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A.cold feetB.cold shoulderC.cold-bloodedD.cold-hearted11.The topic of this passage is about _________.A.some expressions about friendshipB. how cold weather comes into beingC.the relationship between cold and our bodyD.some expre ssions connected with coldDThe Carnival of Brazil is an annual festival held 46 days befor e Easter, especially famous for the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the festiva l of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to regret an d prepare for Christ’s death and coming back to life. Modern Brazilian Carnival dates back to Rio de Janeiro in 164 1. It originally copied the European form of the festival, later ta king in elements of Native American and African cultures.In the late 19th century, the strings (弦乐器) were introduced in Rio de Janeiro. These were pageant (游行) groups that paraded through city avenues performing on i nstruments and dancing. Today they are known as blocks, co nsisting of a group of people who dress in costumes or specia l T-shirts with themes or logos. Blocks are generally connected w ith particular neighborhoods; they include both a music group and a lot of revelers(狂欢者).Block parades have become an expressive feature of Rio’s C arnival. Today, they number more than 100 and the groups in crease each year. Blocks can be formed by small or large gro ups of revelers with a clear title. Before the show, they gather in a square, then parade in sections of the city, often near the beach. Carnival time in Rio is very interesting, but is also the most expensive time to visit Rio. Hotel rooms and other lodgin gs (住宿) can be up to four times more expensive than the regular r ates. There are big crowds at some locations and life is far fro m ordinary in many parts of town.12.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The Carnival of Brazil is often held after Easter.B. The Carnival of Brazil comes from Easter and Saturnalia.C. The Carnival of Brazil is mainly to celebrate the birth of C hrist.D. The Carnival of Brazil is a festival to regret and begin a ne w life.13.How long is the history of the people’s celebrating modern Brazilian Carnival?A. About 100 years.B. Less than two centuries.C. Over five centuries.D. About 370 years.14.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that_______A. block parades become bigger and bigger.B. block parades can only be formed by big groups of revele rs.C. the theme of blocks must be serious.D. blocks always parade only on the beach15.What is the passage mainly about?A. The famous carnivals in the world.B. How the carnival w as introduced in Brazil.C. The happy life of the people in Rio de Janeiro.D. The c arnival in Rio de Janeiro.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。

ALong ago a Native American chief named Shenandoah lived with his tribes(部落) in what is now the state of Virginia. Little is known about Shenandoah, but in someway, the soft sound of his name was given to a river. The Shenandoah River still flows in a deep valley between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, just as it did when Chief Shenandoah lived. It is a slow moving river, soft and as beautiful as its name. Some word experts who b elieve the word “Shenandoah” means “spruce river” because the waters of the river run through great forests of spruce trees(云杉). And this explanation could be correct.However, there is an old Native American story which is far more beautiful than that of the experts. Centuries before Europeans came to the New World, there was a great lake of blue water hidden in the mountains of Virginia. For hundreds of years, Native American tribes lived near this lake, feeding on the fish from its clean waters. The Native Americans often climbed up the mountains and camped there during their long hunts for food. In the evenings they sat near their camp and looked down at the beautiful lake.On a clear, starry night you could see thousands of stars shining and dancing on the water below. The Native Americans loved this lake, and because they could see the stars in it, they called the l ake, “Clear Daughter of the Stars.” In their language, the word for this was “Shenandoah.”One day the lake started to disappear. Its water ran out of the valley, through a break in the mountain side. The waters ran on and on until they joined another river known as the Potomac. At last, the lake was gone. In its place was only a river. It is the beautiful Shenandoah River today.However, the word Shenandoah becomes well known to people because someone wrote a song about it some years ago.“Shenandoah” is perhaps one of America’s most recognizable folk songs. Some say the song refers to the river. Others say it is about the daughter of Chief Shenandoah. Regardless of what the song is about, "Shenandoah" remains an American classic.“O1 Shenandoah, I l ove your daughter, Away you rolling river; O Shenandoah, I love your daughter, Away I'm bound to go, 'Cross the wide Missouri …”21. According to the text, “ Shenandoah” may be the following EXCEPT______.A. “spruce river”B. the PotomacC. “Clear Daughter of the Stars”D. an American chief’s name22. “ Shenandoah” is familiar to Americans mostly because of ______.A. pure and refreshing waterB. a great historical characterC. an American classic songD. the mysterious disappearance of a lake23. The most suitable title of the passage is ______.A. Shenandoah and Its Native American RootsB. An American Chief’s Romantic TaleC. The Mystery of a Missing LakeD. A Beautiful American SongBHerbal medicine (草药), which has been used for medicinal purposes, is the use of plants to treat diseases. Many herbalists use the entire plant, from the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots, in the form of everything from teas to pills. These plants contain natural, chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases- such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue, and cancer, among others.Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because, compared with chemical medicine, herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine and remedies (治疗) are more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine given by a chemist could have certain negative side effects. However, many of the herbal medicine and remedies do not have negative side effects. If any, they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight-loss more effectively and improve overall health.However, the cure using herbal medicine and supplements (营养品) would take some time, and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still, herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients (成分) and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic (过敏).A point worth mentioning here is herbal remedies and medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once, but would take months or even years. In the early stages, if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you, it is wise to stop using it.When used correctly and directed by doctors, herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated, so herbal products are often misleading and may contain additives (添加剂) and that are not listed on the label (标签). Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with other drugs, and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses (剂量). Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.24. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. The origin of herbal medicine.B. The history of herbal medicine.C. The definition and function of herbal medicine.D. The naturally harmless characteristics of herbal medicine.25. How does the author explain the advantages of herbal medicine?A. By using examples.B. By making a comparison.C. By analyzing research statistics.D. By performing lots of experiments.26. What is the author’s attitude towards herbal medicine?A. Indifferent.B. DisapprovingC. Unclear.D. Supportive.27. Which of the following will the author agree with?A. Choose safe herbal medicine freely.B. Take herbal medicine under the guidance of doctors.C. Use herbs together because the combination is more effective.D. Purchase herbal medicine from reliable manufacturers to ensure quality.CHow do companies use images in advertisements to appeal to consumers? The purpose of advertisements is to simply sell products to potential buyers. But with so much competition among companies to push their items, how do they beat the other competitors?They use different methods of advertising, such as billboards, commercials, and print ads that appear in magazines or newspapers. These images all convey messages to the consumers without even the use of words. People can understand what an ad is saying by just looking at it.Reading through a magazine, one is likely to see numerous advertisements trying to sell a lot of products, ranging from shoes to perfumes to computers. As they try to market their goods, businesses use different types of advertising techniques. They play around with colors and images that are visually stimulating (刺激的) in an attempt to promote their goods. Bright colors stand out really well, drawing the viewers' attention and capturing their interest.In addition, images used by clothing companies generally contain physically attractive models to sell their clothes because the businesses are proposing thatthe consumers can look just as good as the models if they buy the same clothes. The other day, I saw an ad in a magazine showing a very thin, charming model wearing a US$200 swimsuit. The ad was basically screaming, “Buy this and you will look like me！” Companies can push expensive items to their consumers by showing visually desirable people in their ads, stimulating the interest of buyers. These are the kinds of images displayed everywhere we look and through all aspects of marketing.We know about the different methods used in advertisements to get us to buy certain products, but whether or not we give in to them is the big question.28. How does the author introduce the topic?A. By explaining the background.B. By asking some questions.C. By giving a conclusion.D. By listing some examples.29. What is NOT the effect of bright colors?A. Standing out really well.B. Drawing the viewers' attention.C. Capturing the viewers' interest.D. Highlighting the product's quality.30. Why do clothing companies use attractive models to sell their clothes?A. Consumers might think they can look as good as the models if they buy the same clothes.B. The clothes look more expensive when they are worn by models.C. The clothes on the models can be sold for more money.D. This kind of advertising is cheaper than other means.31. What is the text mainly about?A. It is hard for consumers not to be influenced by ads.B. It is easy to run a good advertising business.C. How companies make their ads attractive to consumers.D. How much companies pay for their ads.DIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s. But what he found instead is the American state of Florida.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they mayhave found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus.The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body. Cai Dongsheng, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, found that hypothalamus stem cells influence how fast aging takes place in the body as well. He also reported that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body.“So when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost, it eventually leads to aging.”Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) or energize the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. They did this by injecting (注射) the animals with stem cells. Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength of the animals’ m uscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive (认知) ability of the mice.The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.These findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat any number of health issues concerning aging problems. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? This is the question Cai and his team are thinking about.32. What did Juan Ponce de Leon find?A. The American state of Florida.B. Magical powers.C. A Fountain of youth.D. A way to stop the aging process.33. What do we know about the hypothalamus?A. It is located in the eyes.B. It starts aging due to the increase of its stem cells.C. It plays a key role in controlling the aging process.D. It functions well when the body starts aging.34. What did the researchers do during the experiment?A. They strengthened the muscles of the mice.B. They examined tissues and tested the behaviour of mice.C. They injected the stem cells into the younger mice.D. They changed the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice.35. What would the researchers probably do next?A. Inject stem cells of mice into humans.B. Research on the cognitive psychology.C. Help the mice live longer.D. See if anti-aging effects also work in human beings.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。
