AKids’ cartoons are usually very popular among kids. Aimed at children, Kids’ cartoons are meant to be educational to some degree. The plot lines of kid’s cartoons are fairly simple and take place in everyday settings, such as schools and homes. The followings are some famous Kid’s cartoons.King of the HillKing of the Hill describes a middle-class family and their lives in a typical American town. It tells us about the Hills’ day-to-day-lives in the small Texas town of Arlen, exploring modern themes such as parent-child relationships, friendship, and justice.Once Upon a TimeOnce Upon a Time is a French educational cartoon, created by Procidis.There are seven series, each focusing on different aspects of knowledge. Once Upon a Time focuses on the past events of mankind that happened a long time ago.El Oso YoguiYogi Bear is a funny animal who has appeared in numerous comic books, television shows and films. He was created by Hanna-Barbera. The plot of most of Yogi’s cartoons centered on his behavior in the Jellystone Park. Yogi, with his good friend Boo-Boo Bear, would often try to steal picnic baskets from campers in the park, which makes Park Ranger(管理员) Smith very angry. Yogi’s girlfriend, Cindy Bear, sometimes appeared and was usually against Yogi’s action.K pt’n Blaub rBased on the comics by Walter Moers, this German cartoon series deals with the adventures of Blue Bear who prefers talking about his journeys on the Seven Seas with his grandchildren.1.Children like Kids’ cartoons mainly because .A.the stories are well organizedB.the lines are interestingC.the settings are familiar to themD.the characters are creative.2.To get more knowledge of history, a kid may turn to .A.King of the HillB.Once Upon a TimeC.El Oso YoguiD.Kapt’n Blaubar3.Who probably enjoys sailingA.Blue Bear.B.Yogi Bear.C.Boo-Boo Bear.D.Cindy Bear.BMost of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves fromharshweather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women’s hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What’s more, people now consider many different features (特点)when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it’s important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can notonly help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public4.What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA.goodB.strangeC.poorD.different5.According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractiveA.A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.B.A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.C.A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.D.A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.6.What does the last paragraph suggestA.Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.B.Hats can help you look better in public.C.Hats are not as important as character.D.Hats can make you look much taller.7.What is the best title for the articleA.How to Show Your Social PositionB.How to Improve Your FeaturesC.How to Choose a Proper HatD.How to Design a Nice HatCRaegan Byrd tries to complete her homework every night. But the high school student in Hartford, Connecticut, has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have internetconnection at home.In May, the US Department of Education(DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access(接入) to internet has been getting smaller, but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18 percent of homes in the countryside still do not have internet connections.In some states, the problem is much more serious. For example, in the countryside of northern Mississippi, a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers. And close to half have no access to internet whether they can pay for it or not.Sharon Stidham, a mother in Maben, has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School. Her husband works there, so the children can use the internet for their schoolwork. A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home, but they could not put aside any money for the internet.Research results from the National Center for Education(NCE) have shown that students with internet at home get much better scores in reading, math and science than the ones who do not.Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”. Jessica Rosenworcel, an NCE member, said, “The so-called homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big obstacle to their dreams.”Local communities(社区) have started to help. They made lists ofrestaurants and other businesses with Wi-Fi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework. And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year.8.What has DOE found out in its surveyA.Students with internet at home are doing better at school.B.4% more homes in the countryside don’t have internet access.C.About 33% of the students in Mississippi do not have internet at home.D.An increasing number of students do not have access to internet at home.9.Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School libraryA.Her husband is a teacher in the library.B.She does not want to pay for the internet at home.C.She wants her sons to study in a better environment.D.Her sons have to use the internet to do their schoolwork.10.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “obstacle” in paragraph 6A.Block.B.Help.C.Goal.D.Chance.11.What is the main idea of the last paragraphA.Local communities are called on to take actions.B.Libraries have opened their doors to the students.C.Restaurants have volunteered to take in the children.D.Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.DBritish parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family tradition(传统) rather than raise their children’s competitiveness as the American parents do.Dr. Aaron Reeves from Oxford University found that the UK parents did not see musical practice as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs for their children. Instead, they usually encouraged their children to follow their interests.This is different from what the other researchers had found in America. Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate(与……相联系) these cultural practices with other worldly benefits and often center these music activities around the school subjects.Researchers think that it may be due to(由于) the fact that the US parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors.However, for British parents, no such direct connection was made with future educational or job advantages. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they just paid attention to the value of music as a family tradition and, to some degree, assomething valuable in its own right.One Scottish parent said during an interview, “We’ve got two learning musical instruments. If they think it is fun, we try and encourage them, but we wouldn’t force them.” Another housewife said, “My son has just turned five and I want him to play the guitar because his uncle is good at it, but it’s up to my son.”“Lots of UK parents don’t think music practice could be very helpful for the children’s confidence or school success. They say that it takes time and some talent for the children to gain a competing advantage,” said Dr. Reeves. “I think they are right.”12.What does the underlined word “their” in paragraph 2 refer toA.The US parents’.B.The UK children’s.C.The UK parents’.D.The US children’s.13.What do British parents think Of music learningA.It is useful for their children to get better jobs.B.It can be helpful to build their children’s confidence.C.It helps their children to succeed in their schoolwork.D.It would be better to take it as a hobby for the children.14.What can be inferred from the last paragraphA.Both the US and UK parents are right.B.The other researchers’ findings are misleading.C.Dr. Reeves agrees more with the UK parents.D.Only the talented children can benefit from music learning.15.What is the text mainly aboutA.The benefits of extra music learning for children.B.The American parents’ attitude towards music learning.C.Differences in the British and American parenting styles.D.Different attitudes towards music learning in the UK and USA.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

One way in which adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, _____31 _____out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. With the help of audiovisual aids, computer-_____32_____ instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare _____33_____ with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that museums can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers whose pupils have come to the museum for specific _____34_____ .At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is worth remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational _____35_____ for the general public.Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the_____ 36_____ public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteacher arriving at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even _____37_____.Why is this done? The idea is that museums should not simply be aiming to be popular and entertaining, they should also be truly _____38_____ learning environments. Given that this is their aim, they should not just spread facts and theories. They should show the visitor exactly what to do with the information provided. Isolated pieces of information, _____39_____ as they may be. do not encourage museum visitors to use their intelligence. For example, if told that some fleas can jump 130 times their own height, visitors simply have no idea of how to apply this _____40_____ unless they are clearly pointed in the right direction.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.At a time when scientists know more than they ever have before about the inner lives of animals and when concerns about animal rights become large—many experts think that zoos need a major change if they're going to last.To some leaders in the field, the Philadelphia Zoo is the best model out there, but on the other side of the country; a _____41_____ vision of the future is playing out. At Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the elephant exhibit, where countless children have watched elephants play, now sits _____42_____ . The zoo, long _____43_____ as a world leader in innovative design, built a $3 million state-of-the-art facility for the species in the 1980s. But in recent years, animal-rights advocates had criticized the exhibit as inhumane for being too small and not _____44_____ the elephants' natural living area. Under pressure from activists following the death of an elephant in 2014, and thanks to new guidelines from the nation's main zoo organization, Woodland Park officials decided to _____45_____ one of its most popular exhibits and place the elephants elsewhere.Nearly two centuries after the first modern zoo opened in London's Regent's Park, the very concept of a place where families can visit and observe animals is being _____46_____ like never before. Across the US and around the world, zoos are finding that balancing the demands of entertainment, education and conservation is increasingly _____47_____. Ethical(伦理的）concerns have been coupled with _____48_____ fears—both for people and for animals—following an incident in May when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed a 17-year-old gorilla named Haram be to protect a child who'd fallen into the exhibit. More _____49_____, there's a greater sensitivity to the environmental implications of zoos.Ask a dozen zoo directors why these places should exist today and you'll get a different answer every time. Education, conservation and science all _____50_____. But the _____51_____ answer -cultivating sympathy for animals—is becoming harder to do while providing humane care to these animals.Study after study has shown that many animal species are far smarter and more _____52_____ than previously understood, giving new insights into how they may suffer from anxiety and depression when they are removed from _____53_____. That has forced a difficult existential question: If we acknowledge that creatures suffer when they're trapped, should they be kept in zoos? Not even those who have _____54_____ the cause for more humane exhibits have an answer. "Even the best zoos today are based on captivity and coercion(囚禁与胁迫)”，says Jon Coe, the legendary zoo designer "To me. that's the _____55_____ fault.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A 27-year-old graphic designer from Oxfordshire in England completed a record-breaking journey across Australia yesterday. It was a 5,800 kilometre journey—and he travelled the whole distance on a skateboard. David Cornthwaite, who started skateboarding less than two years ago, decided on his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job. 'I thought the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I was looking for something new/ he said. "I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do”.He decided to prepare by skateboarding from John O'Groats to Lands End: the two points further apart on the British mainland. That 1,442 kilometre journey, which he finished in June, took just over a month, during which an infected blister (水泡)swelled to the 'size of a tennis ball’. Crossing Australia on a skateboard brough unique challenges. The wind caused by huge road trains, the lorries that thunder across the Outback, was so powerful that he was sometimes blown off his board. Multiple blisters and aching ankles, toes and feet, have kept him in almost constant pain for the last six weeks. ,I feel like an old man. I'm not sure that anyone has ever had this many blisters/ he said. Temperatures of 40cC and above mean that he has used more than a dozen tubes of factor 30 sunscreen. 'There have been moments where I thought "this is ridiculous. I have to rest”，but I never considered giving up.’Skating an average of 50 kilometres a day and hitting speeds of up to 50kph on downhill runs, he left Perth. Western Australia, and skated across the fearsome Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. After reaching Adelaide he made his way to Melbourne and from there to Sydney A support team of seven people trailed from all the way in a four-wheel drive vehicle, which included camping equipment for night shops. The journey has smashed the previous record for a long-distance skateboard, set by an American, Jack Smith, who covered 4,800 kilometres across the US in 2003. David Comthwaite was less than three kilometres from the end of his epic journey when he hit a hole and was thrown off his skateboard, suffering cuts and bruises to his shoulders, knees, hips and elbows. ‘I was only going to 40km at the time, so although it wasn't pretty; it could have been a lot worse,’ he said.56. Why did David Comthwaite decide to skateboard across Australia?A. He wanted to break a world record.B. He was an experienced skateboarderC. He wanted to try something different.D. He was given a guidebook about Australia.51. What made David fall of his skateboard several times in Australia?A. The injuries on his feet.B. The thunderstorms in the Outback.C. The trains that race across the Outback.D. The wind created by huge lorries going past.58. Which of the following statements is true of David while he was on the journey?A. He slept in a tent during the journey.B. He skated at an average speed of 50 kph.C. He thought of giving up the journey halfway.D. He was sunburned due to the misuse of sunscreen.(B)Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines (陶制俑)were also established well within the city of Athens itself Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: its distinctive color was the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s (窑) temperature during an extended three-stage period. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.The broad use of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to limit . themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products or to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means, as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.60. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its__________.A. unusual materialsB. production techniquesC. similarity to other craftsD. resemblance to earlier pottery61 . Which of the following advantage did terra-cotta have?A. It had a lasting shine on the surface.B. It could be used for many purposes.C. It did not break during the firing process.D. It was less expensive than other available materials.62. Which of the following statements is true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters?A. They seldom produced inferior ware.B. They stuck to their way of producing pieces.C. It is almost impossible to draw a clear line between them.D. It is hard to explain why they didn't make any human images’(C)How does one protect elephants from ivory poachers (象牙偷猎者)in an African reserve the size of a small country? This task typically falls to park rangers who may spend weeks patrolling the bush on foot sometimes lacking basic devices such as radios, tents or even socks. They are largely losing to poachers.To stop the losses, conservationists are increasingly turning to technology. The latest tools include real-time tracking collars, developed by the Kenya-based nonprofit Save the Elephants and currently being used on more than 325 animals in 10 countries--- The organization's researchers wrote algorithms (算法)that use signals from the collars to automatically detect when an animal stops moving (indicating it may be dead), slows down (suggesting it may be injured) or heads toward a danger zone, such as an area known for poaching. Unlike traditional tracking collars, many of which send geographical coordinates infrequently or store them onboard for later retrieval, these devices' real-time feeds enable rangers to react quickly. In several cases, they have led to arrests.The amount of data produced by the new collars quickly became overwhelming, however. So Save the Elephants partnered with Vulcan- a company created by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen—which engineered an open-source tracking application for iOS and the Web called the Domain Awareness System. The DAS app sends alerts when a potential problem arises—if field sensors pick up on human intruders, for example. It also integrates a wealth of other information, including the positions of nearby rangers, vehicles and aircraft, as well as detected gunshots, camera trap feeds, arrest and crime-scene records, weather, and more.Some of the technologies used in the collars—GPS, onboard data storage, phone or satellite receivers—are found in everyday devices, including smartphones. Yet in this case these tools are being applied in an exceptional way, according to Jake Wall, geospatial science adviser for Save the Elephants. It is the first time all the data that DAS uses have been presented in one neat feed and map, he says.An early version of the program is being tested at four sites in Africa, with a 10-site expansion planned for September. At Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, DAS is already seen as a game changer after its launch less than a year ago, says Batian Craig, director of 51 Degrees, a private company that oversees security operations at Lewa.63. The latest tracking collars are different from traditional ones in that __________.A. they can send signals immediatelyB. they withdraw information at any timeC. they can store more information onboardD. they send geographical coordinates infrequently64. Why did Save the Elephants partner with Vulcan?A. It has met with financial problems.B. It hopes to make a big profit in the future.C. It doesn't know how to advance its collar.D. It can't handle the collected data very well.65. What does Batian Craig say about DAS?A. It will make a big difference.B. It was launched in September.C. It will have a new version soon.D. It needs to be tested at more sites.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How Elephants LiveB. Find My ElephantC. Elephant-Friendly AreasD. Elephants VS PoachersSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once.

Discovered accidentally in 1974, in Xi'an Province, in China, when local farmers were digging for water, over 8.000 baked clay figures have since been found.__________67__________ Emperor Qin was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. After becoming emperor of the state of Qin at the age of 13. he conquered six other states over the next 25 years, and became the first emperor of a united China.In Qin's time, the ancient Chinese believed that their "afterlife" was very similar to the life on earth. Consequently, when they died and were buried, objects which would be useful to them in the next life were buried with them. __________ 68__________ In addition, the emperor ordered an army to be built so that his palace would be protected.__________69__________ In ancient China, however, they used a completely different method.A huge production line was established to make the tens of thousands of individual human and animal statues which Emperor Qin demanded. All the different pails of the body such as legs, arms, and heads were made separately and then assembled. The same process was also used for other pieces such as ears, beards, and armour. When the whole figure was completed, it was baked in an oven.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. Each one has a different facial expression and hairstyle, as well as uniforms which indicate their job and rank. Among the figures there are ordinary soldiers, archers, and officers, together with horses. They were discovered arranged in military formation ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife.In 1987, the tomb and army of Emperor Qin were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. __________70__________ The Terracotta Army clearly deserves this honour, as nearly two million people from all over the world visit it each year.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Common Characteristics of FolktalesMost of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down. Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller. Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type of animal.Next the characters in folktales are similar They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things. They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, thechief in the Raven story is selfish and not very smart. But Raven is very generous—he wants to help people. And he's very clever as he finds a way to get the light . In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals. Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression like “a long time ago" and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong, bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they share several of the same features, as said above.V.

高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题Word版含答案
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和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are alsomore likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybesuccessful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A.shy people are sensitive to rewardsB.shy people care more about contentC.outgoing people are more careful about chancesD.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2.The example of Johnny shows______.A.shy people are likely to be modestB.hardworking students speak little in publicC.some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD.shy people may have an advantage in discussion3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.A.shyness results in successB.shyness contributes to popularityC.outside reward leads to insistenceD.uncertainty counts more than certainty4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.A.giving definitions and presenting research resultsB.explaining problems and providing solutionsC.quoting authorities and making evaluationsD.making contrasts and gibing examplesB“Can’t hold a candle to”is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“H old your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on”is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.A.some footballers refuse to play a gameB.someone else is wanted on the phoneC.someone is not qualified for a positionD.someone was delayed by heavy traffic6.The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little_______.A.amusingB.politeC.unfriendlyD.offensive7.If some teachers “hold out”,they probably______.A.change their attitudeB.refuse to workC.make a compromiseD.show their devotion8.Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A.I was late as I was held up by a hold up.B.Hold on!You have to pay the bill,sir.C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.CHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔岩）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范围）eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（葱郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness（预案）When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in munication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del munication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.9.The passage is intended for_______.A.the general publicB.architectsC.adventurersD.geographers10.When building houses,people tend to______.A.judge volcanic dangers carefullyB.take volcanic dangers seriouslyC.live near a quiet volcanoD.find a safer place far away from a volcano11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC.the bravery of the people in Armero TownD.the uncertainty of volcano’s damageDI was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“How do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.The author may start his own business in the future.13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.A.went back to his seat and got seatedB.knew his colleague had some questionsC.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD.thought his colleague would get nowhere14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A.Japan.B.America.C.Africa.D.France15.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.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。

（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）AWhat's on Your Pet's Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature's mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. "I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world."At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves."That's why I started my studies with Alex," Irene said, "Some people actually called me crazy for trying this."Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say "want grape". Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them." Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven".Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving. While animals can't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.1．Irene wanted to find out ．A．what a parrot thinks B．why a parrot can speakC．how parrots make sounds D．if parrots speak English2．Alex learnt new words by .A．singing them B．reading them C．writing them D．rehearing them 3．The article concludes that ．A．our pets understand what we sayB．dogs may speak to humans one dayC．humans are related to chimpanzeesD．mental ability can evolve in animalsBIt's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around；the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say 'THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS', but now I began to feet it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I'm destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable. 4．When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt .A．upset B．confused C．amazed D．amused5．To the writer, "the seed that we sow in the beginning" (Paragraph 1) is .A．the house in his dream B．his mother's foodC．the story of the bird D．his story books6．The above passage is mainly about .A．how the writer finally becomes an honest citizenB．where the true meaning of responsibility liesC．what we need to do when we are seeking fortuneD．why the writer takes up architecture as his careerCYou may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we've tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything —every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, "Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn't happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship —I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along...There's a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us."She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within-dependable and sure.What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it? 7．Why was Susan crying in the darkness?A．Because she was afraid of staying in the dark.B．Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.C．Because she was frightened and felt helpless.D．Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.8．What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?A．She felt very peaceful. B．She felt she was still alive.C．She felt completely hopeless. D．She wanted to change her life forever.9．How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?A．They were alternative. B．They were unnecessary.C．They were very important. D．They were among some choices.10．Which of the following should be the best title?A．What to Depend on. B．A Rope Tied to a Car.C．Please Let Go of Your Trust. D．An Experience from an Earthquake.二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)1．完形填空(共20小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

高三第二学期英语5月周测卷(含答案)
高三第二学期英语5月周测卷（含答案)II. Grammar and VocabularySection A（16%）Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Ballet is a demanding art. Ballet dancers (25) __________ (train) to move their bodies in unnatural ways and if they are good, they make it look natural. They manage to keep a perfect balance (26) __________ they spin around and round without becoming horribly dizzy and falling down.The history of ballet goes back about 600 years to the Renaissance in Europe. Originally dancers would entertain audiences in the pauses between opera scenes. In 1581, the Ballet Comique de la Reine was performed in France and is usually considered to be the first Ballet. In 1661, King Louis XIV of France founded the Royal Academy of Dancing to train dancers to perform for his court. Soon other companies (27) __________ (found) in other countries; The Italian also became well known (28) __________ their style of ballet. In the early 1800s，more women began performing in ballets. France was still the capital of the ballet world, but soon dancers (29) __________ (graduate) from ballet school spread out to other countries, most notably Russia, which soon became large player on the world stage of ballet.Ballet (30) __________ (change) through the years as the needs and wants of choreographers and audience has changed. You can still see the roots of the dancing itself when (31) __________ (watch) a ballet, but those who watched what was considered the first ballet in 1581 probably would not recognize (32) __________ it has evolved into today.（B）Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn't have done or something you didn't do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There's no point in getting depressed about it now-it's no use (33) __________ (cry) over spilt milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly (34) __________ happened and why, so we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.One thing we all do now and again is to lose our temper with a friend or close relative. The old thing is that we more often display great anger towards someone we are fond (35) __________ than towards strangers. The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, (36) __________ opportunity to let off a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences of insulting a stranger could be far (37) __________ (serious). Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue and undoubtedly this is the case. On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions (38) __________ we have spoken out our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then (39) __________ (find) ourselves filled with feelings of guilt. Perhaps we (40) __________ have kept our mouths shut?Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can onlyWhen it first appeared fifty years ago, TV was expected to make extraordinary contributions to education and culture. Radio, of course, could already reach almost everyone in developed countries, __41__ entertainment and news as well as some educational programs. Everybody in a particular area was able to listen to the same program at the same time, and this __42__ people’s sense of community. It also brought about the wider use of a standard form of the language. TV, it was thought, would have all these __43__ results, but to a much greater degree, since viewers would not only hear but also see what was happening.There is no doubt that these expectations have to a great extent been __44__. People are better __45__ than ever before of events in the furthest corners of the earth, and even beyond. TV has brought increased comfort to people unable to leave their beds, to the lonely and to the old. It is suggested that it may have strengthened family__46__, as families stay at home to watch their favorite programs. Nevertheless, in a number of ways the effects of TV have been a source of disappointment and even of __47__ to those who had expected so much of it.The main problem has been its effects on kids. Some American scientists claim that in the United States TV has produced a generation who have become __48__ to TV. Others say that the fact that an average American teenager sees about 15,000 deaths on TV before he or she becomes an adult has led to increased violence in real life. The violence seen on TV, they believe, is __49__ dangerous because the harm it does to viewers is not always immediately obvious. Similarly, teachers complain that children have less interest in reading and their reading ability has declined, because watching so much TV __50__ children from using their own imaginations.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Black holes act like huge drains in the universe. The very __51__ of black holes confuses our common notions of matter, time and space. The theory that black holes can, and probably do, exist in space doesn’t only __52__ scientists and astronomers. For if the theory is valid, we must question all our basic physical laws and, indeed, our “normal”experience of the __53__ world around us.What is the black hole? Well, it’s __54__ to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are __55__ here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __56__ -- not even light. So we can’t see a black hole. A black hole has a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space. How can this happen?The __57__ is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they“collapse”and sometimes a supernova occurs. From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime. Supernovae were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The collapse of a star may produce a star whose __58__ is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity. But if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun), this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole __59__. Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and s stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. Any matter near the black hole is sucked in. It is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole.But in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole. __60__, if a man fell into a black hole, he would think he must reach the center of it very quickly. However, an onlooker at the area around the hole would think that the man never reached the center __61__. Our space and time laws don’t seem to __62__ objects in the area of a black hole. Einstein’s relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena. Einstein __63__ that matter and energy are interchangeable, so that there is no “absolute”time and space. It is interesting that Einstein’s theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their __64__. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes.The story of black holes is just beginning. But the theory of black holes in space is __65__ by many serious scientists and astronomers. They show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.51 A. conclusion B. consideration C. concept D. conscience52 A. include B. contain C. involve D. concern53 A. mental B. physical C. spiritual D. typical54 A. difficult B. easy C. vague D. deliberate5 5A. understandable B. enough C. accurate D. inadequate56 A. appear B. grow C. escape D. hide57 A. message B.

ProposedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）A new study confirms what most people already know: American women are still far behind American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics.The Pew Research Center in Washington, DC produced the study. Pew researchers found that most Americans believe women have the right qualities to be leaders. But they say women may still not be hired into leadership positions. "On the one hand, the public thinks that women are just as qualified as men to be in top leadership positions, in business and in government, on the other hand the public feels it is easier for men to get those jobs, and the public is also that things are going to change in the future, particularly on the business front.”Parker directs social trends at the Pew Research Center. She says the new study found that Americans think men and women have the same intelligence and ability to create new things. But Americans think women and men have some different abilities. For instance, they believe women are especially good at finding compromises. In other words, women can find ways for people to agree, or at least accept solutions. The study also found Americans see women as more compassionate and organized leaders than men.Americans also believe women are better leaders for social issues, such as education and health care. But Americans see men as better leaders on national defense and security. In the business world, Americans say women still have challenges at the top.66. Americans may believe the following statements except _____________.A. Females are better leaders in some social issuesB. Females are expert at finding compromisesC. Males are more compassionate and organizedD. Males are more suitable as business and political leaders67. Which of the following words can substitute the underlined word “skeptical”in Para. 2?A. positiveB. doubtfulC. determinedD. urgent68. Kitty, a 45-year-old female, works in New York.

What is the passage mainly concerned with _________.A. The physical difference between the gendersB. The different outlooks on life between the gendersC. The racism problem in AmericaD. The Sexism or prejudice in America（B）57th Annual GRAMMY Awards1. RECORD OF THE YEARWINNERStay With Me (Darkchild Version)Sam Smith2. ALBUM OF THE YEARWINNERMorning PhaseBeck3. SONG OF THE YEARWINNERStay With Me (Darkchild Version)James Napier, William Phillips & Sam Smith, song writers (Sam Smith)Label: Capitol Records;4. BEST NEW ARTISTWINNERSam SmithLabel: Capitol Records—It wasn’t such a lonely hour for Sam Smith, or more accurately, not such a lonely three and half hours. Smith now has four GRAMMY Awards to keep him company, though he narrowly missed becoming only the second male artist to sweep the four general categories (Christopher Cross remains the only one to accomplish that feat).Smith's haul Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year (the latter with co-writers James Napier and William Phillips) for "Stay With Me (Dark child Version)" as well as Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album for In the Lonely Hour. “It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen,”Smith said while collecting the Best Pop V ocal Album award.Three-time GRAMMY winners for the night included Beyonce (Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for “Drunk In Love”and Best Surround Sound Album for Eeyonce); Pharrell Williams (Best Pop Solo Performance for “Happy [Live],”Best Urban Contemporary Album for Girl and Best Music Video for “Girl”; and engineer Bob Ludwig, who was awarded for work on Beck’s Morning Phase and Beyonce’s Beyonce.Also winning three awards was roots artist Rosanne Cash (Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song for A Feather’s Not A Bird and Best Americana Album for The River & The Thread). “The last time I won a GRAMMY [Ronald] Regan was president,”Cash laughed when accepting during the GRAMMY Awards premiere Ceremony.Beck won Album Of The Year, as well as Best Rock Album, for Morning Phase.70. Who was the biggest winner in the 57th Grammy Awards in 2015?A. Dark child VersionB. BeyonceC. Taylor SwiftD. Sam Smith71. Beyonce won three Grammys this year. Which of the following belongs to her?A. Best Rock AlbumB. Best American Roots PerformanceC. Best Surround Sound AlbumD. Best Music Vedio72. What does the underlined word “sweep”mean in the passage?A. To clean with a brush or to remove by brushingB. To move quickly and powerfullyC. To carry along quickly and powerfullyD. To move quickly in a proud or determined way73.What does Sam Smith imply according to what he said while collecting the BestPop Vocal Album Award?A.He once failed or frustrated because he stuck to his own style.B. He was a determined person and wouldn’t change regardless of what otherssay to him.C. He was once trying to please others and the audience by making music which was not hisown style.D. He was not successful until music began to flow and people began to listen.(C)When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously(轻蔑地) of the poor old Romans because they mistook the slaughter(残杀) in their arenas(竞技场) for entertainment. We may forgive them easily because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better.But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence?Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of excuses to defend sports which should have been banned for long, sports which are quite as cruel as such as boxing.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames.Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports just because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized.For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – but with little success. But at least we no longer say madmen in cages, or public floggings(鞭打) which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the merciless places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.74. That the author mentions the old RomansA. to indicate Romans were crueler than human beings nowadays.B. to show Rome was the origin of cruel and dangerous sports.C. to indicate human beings today are also bloodthirsty.D. to show human beings in the past know nothing better.75.The underlined word “hypocrisy” probably means__________.A. becoming greedy.B. hoping to achieve successC. having a great ambitionD. Pretending to be kind.76.In the last paragraph, the author mentions some progress human beings have achieved to show__________A. Man is able to realize his won mistakes and make efforts to correct them.B. Changes in law can have a positive effect in history.C. Human beings have realized that violence is uncivilized and should be avoided.D. Human beings never stop to improve themselves in any field.Section CBill Gates and Buffet --- the world’s two richest men, held a cha rity banquet in Beijing. Undoubtedly the aim is to persuade charitable donations in China. China emerge a large number of billionaires with the high economic development. But to everyone’s surprise, few rich men promised to donate, and their meanness cause s a scolding voice of where the rich’s conscience go.China’s rich don’t want to spend money on charity, why? Are they mean and not willing to spend money on it? No. The money they own cannot be used up for several lifetimes, so a little money for use of charity does not mean any loss of their life. Actually their way of thinking is different from that of general people. For them what they lack in not money, but the safety of property and social reputation. If the money donation can earn property security and social reputation, it is very cost-effective for them.That’s just the problem. In China, the rich who do charity cannot bring property security and social reputation. On the contrary, the wealth exposure produces more insecurity and worse reputation. T hat is why the rich do not want to pay for charity. China’s environment is very different from that of the United States where wealth is a symbol of individual success and rich is a role model. While in China the rich are scolded and regarded as a model of exploitation.The possession of wealth will bring bad reputation of exploiter and lack of property security. Exposing one’s rich in such a society is the most stupid act. So the rich’s solution is to quietly transfer the property to a safe place in foreign countries, rather than to do donations to charities.I think charity comes from the ordinary people rather than the rich. The resolution is the way now advocated by Jet Li’s One Foundation --- one yuan per person per month. I think this meets China’s co nditions and has a good development prospect.A more fundamental question is that whether government should do charity. I do not think so. Government is different from civil organizations, its most important feature is that it is backed with force and can use coercive measures to achieve a particular goal. Charity does not require any mandatory power but enthusiasm and carefulness. This is precisely what the government lacks. Therefore, government around the world do not do charity; charity is left to common people.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）78.Why don’t the rich in China want to donate money?79.In the USA, wealth means ____________________________.80.How do the rich in China deal with their money?81. In the author’s opinion, government do not do charity in that ___________________________________________.I．Translation1. 他警告我不要卷入那件亊情里去。

A smart city is one that uses technology to collect data in real-time to manage resources and assets within that city. These assets include water supply, public transportation, and even people. By being able to gather and analyze data in real-time, cities can become more efficient, safer and improve the quality of life for their residents. For example, San Francisco uses IoT (Internet of Things) technology to monitor the activity of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at intersections. The technology provides real-time data to the city’s transportation management center, which can use it to develop street and crosswalk plans that improve safety.Another city using IoT technology is Singapore, which has developed a system that monitors water quality in its reservoirs. The technology enables the city to identify pollution at its source, take swift action, and prevent contamination of its water supply.Smart cities are not without their challenges. Security is a major concern with hackers having the potential to access and exploit sensitive data. Furthermore, there is a risk of discrimination as not all residents may have equal access to the technology that makes smart cities possible.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The definition and benefits of smart cities.B. The challenges of IoT technology.C. The importance of improving safety in cities.D. The potential for inequality in smart cities.2. What is one example of IoT technology being used in smart cities?A. Monitoring water quality in reservoirsB. Developing safety plans for crosswalksC. Using data to improve public transportationD. Collecting data to improve energy efficiency in buildings.3. Why might some people be concerned about smart cities?A. They may cause pollution.B. They may promote inequality.C. They may be too expensive to maintain.D. They may require too much data analysis.Passage 2：Some people have a lot of difficulty sleeping. There are many potential reasons for this, and a lot of advice on how tocure it. Some people say that taking a hot bath before bedcan help. Others suggest reading a book or drinking some tea. But perhaps one of the most effective ways to improve sleepis to reduce the amount of blue light exposure in the evening. Blue light is a wavelength of light that can inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps us sleep. This type of light is emitted from our electronic devices, such as smartphones, computers, and televisions, and it can disruptour internal clock and make us feel more awake.One way to reduce blue light exposure is to avoid using electronics in the hour before bedtime. Another way is to use a blue light filter. There are a variety of filters available online that can be placed over screens to reduce blue light exposure.1. What is one potential cause of difficulty sleeping?A. Reading before bedB. Drinking tea before bedC. Exposure to blue lightD. Inadequate exercise2. What is the main effect of blue light on the body?A. It helps the body produce melatonin.B. It can stimulate the body's internal clock.C. It can help us stay awake and alert.D. It can cause headaches and migraines.3. What is one way to reduce blue light exposure?A. Do not use electronics in the hour before bedtime.B. Read a book before bed instead of using electronics.C. Take a hot bath before bed to relax.D. Look out the window for 30 minutes before sleeping.阅读理解部分答案：Passage 1: 1.A 2.B 3.BPassage 2: 1.C 2.B 3.A题型：作文高三英语写作训练：世界读书日假定你是某中学生李华，请你写一封信给你的笔友Matt，邀请他一起参加学校于3月29日举行的世界读书日活动。

The purpose of this unusual move is, according to the city council, to discourage night gathering in downtown areas.The law inevitably has given rise to a number of protests, accusing that the government has ___43___ people’s normal lives.

Reading prehension(47%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work. First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they bee workaholics! They are more fortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there’s a good chance you’ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers –folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52. A. stimulating B. neglecting C. implying D. modeling53. A. view B. think C. evaluate D. ment54. A. attempt B. manage C. tend D. offer55. A. pay attention B. are opposed C. look forward D. are devoted56. A. outside B. inside C. upside D. downside57. A. Otherwise B. Therefore C. However D. Moreover58.

A. personal ideals B. economic profitsC. professional achievementsD. global developmentSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）On “Super Bowl Sunday”, millions of Americans are glued to their TVs.

Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage.

With all this ing and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of munication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of fort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of thepeoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You e away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how trite it sounds! –That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate forts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do –anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or spectacles of sadism and violence –so long as they arequiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate munities. We bee utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of munication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We bee content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of munication, but it prevents us from municating with each other. We only bee aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly. 78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?__________________________________________________________________________79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.____________________________________________________________________________81.____________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.

You can also use other 22 when you choose your food. You may 23 it because it smells good or because it 24 good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.Different 25 use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many 26 types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type.

（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）AA mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap.Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning;：“There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mouse trapped in the house!”The hen clucked (咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeated the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr.Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very right a sound was heard throughout the house –the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever. Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.But his wife’s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit w ith her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.The farmer’s wife did not get well but died. So many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide enough meat for all of them for the lunch.The mouse looked upon it all from his hole in the wall with great sadness.46．What surprised the mouse when looking through the hole?A．The farmer and his wife.

The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us." he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren."A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that." he said. "He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.""Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown," police said.51.Who found the Swedish man in the snow?A．Snowmobilers.B．The police.C．A rescue team. D．Local people.52．"Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time." implies that .A．police didn't think it trueB．police were sure of the factC．police had some doubt on the factD．police had reasons to doubt the fact53．The reason why the man could survive was most probably that .A．he was only forty-five year oldB．he did not use any energyC．he slept in the sleeping bagD．he was in a dormant-like state54．Which is the correct order of the following events?a．The Swedish man was stuck in the snow.b．He was sent to Umea University Hospital.c．He was found by snowmobilers.d．He was recovering after treatment.e．He stayed in his car for nearly two months.f．He was dug out by people.A．e, a, c, d, f, bB．a, e, c, f, b, dC．a, f, c, e, b, dD．e, c, f, a, d, b55．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．A Traffic AccidentB．A Long Sleep in WinterC．An Incredible SurvivalD．A Successful RescueCLong-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.While other studies have shown the harmful effects of polluted air in the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, USA, has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate(微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair. These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological(神经的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.56．The results of new research on mice first suggest that polluted air mainly does harm to .A．normal organs B．lungs and heartC．mental health D．blood pressure57．What harmful effect of polluted air is mentioned in other studies?A．The harmful effect on learning.B．The harmful effect on all the organs.C．The harmful effect on lungs and heart.D．The harmful effect on improving memory.58．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those Except .A．high blood pressure problemsB．making human hair thinnerC．different kinds of diseasesD．swelling in much of the body59．From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas .A．are likely to suffer from mental problemsB．can measure the negative effect on themC．show little concern for air pollutionD．can be exposed to polluted air longer60．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．Long-time Exposure to Air PollutionB．Evidence and Concern of Air PollutionC．Measurable Effect on Human BrainD．Mental Problems Caused by Air PollutionV. 写作句型运用。
