高中英语真题:信阳高级中学2015-2016学年高一12月月考考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. Ask a question! Email it to Letters@.Gift GivingI'm going to China and everyone in my class is asking me to buy them something. What should I do?Reply from the Highlights Editor:Your classmates are probably just excited about your trip. Most likely they don't expect you to buy gifts for everyone. Sending a few postcards to the entire class during your trip would be a wonderful way to share your experiences. The pictures on the cards and your words of description will be the best gift of all.Dog BeggingMy dog always begs for food at the dinner table. I really want to feedhim, but my mom says I can't. I'm afraid he won't like me anymore. What should I do?Reply from the Highlights Editor:Your dog loves you for many more reasons than just for what you feed him. You can show him that you care about him by playing with him, by petting him and speaking kindly to him and by making sure he has fresh water. It might be best if your dog is not near the dinner table while you are eating. You could teach him to stay in another room.Being Bilingual(会说双语的)My aunt insists that we speak our language(Tagalog) at home and English outside the house. Do you think she is right?Reply from the Highlights Editor:It is a great gift to have someone in your family who is willing to take the time to teach you another language. It's a good way to keep family traditions alive, and it helps develop your language skills. Your ability to use both English and T agalog will help you learn a third and fourth language later in life. So it sounds like a great idea!21. The Highlights editor suggests the student who is going to China _______.A. send postcards as the gifts to the classB. make phone calls to all the classmatesC. buy gifts for some of the classmatesD. give each classmate a picture as a gift22. According to the Highlights editor, if your dog begs for food at thedinner table, you'd better __________.A. feed him immediatelyB. speak loudly to himC. teach him to stay in another roomD.provide him with fresh water23. What is the Highlights editor's attitude towards being bilingual?A. Opposed(反对).B. Tolerant(忍受).C. Supportive(支持) D. Doubtful(怀疑).24. The Highlights editors give the replies to __________.A. show their readers how to send girlsB. tell their readers about their interesting workC. help their readers to solve school problemsD. offer their readers advice on personal problems2. A mental professor walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired(询问): "How heavy is this glass of water?"Different answers called out from the audience.She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb(无知觉的) and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed--incapable of doing anything."It's important to remember to let go of your stress. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!CommentsAye Chan Aung---October 27, 2015 at 11:37 amShort but valuable! It has clearly taught me how to deal with stress.Nelson Malicdem--October 28, 2015 at 8:23 pmWow! Thanks to the author and to the one who submitted this article.I am experiencing a challenge, as I read this it gives me peace. What exactly is in the article is what I am doing. My burden actually paralyzes me without my knowing it. I should put down the glass of water that I'm holding. Thank you so much!25. The professor tells a lesson by ________.A. asking a surprising questionB. giving proper examplesC. imagining a situationD. making a comparison(比较)26. From what the professor says, we can know a small problem _________.A. can result in a complete failureB. is seldom taken seriouslyC. can cause much stressD. seldom causes real problems27. From the two comments, we can know that ________.A. Nelson Malicdem expresses thanks to the professorB. Nelson Malicdem thinks the story is meaningfulC. Aye Chan Aung is suffering from heavy stressD.Aye Chan Aung complains the story is too short28. Where can we most probably read the passage?A. On a health website.B. On a high school website.C. In a magazine for teenagers.D. In a textbook about mental health.3. Life is filled with challenges. As we get older ,we come to realize that those challenges are the very things that shape us and make us who we are. It is the same with the challenges that come with friendship. When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two choices. We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn't worth the trouble and call it quits. Although there are certainly times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most cases all that is needed is commitmentand communication.When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how painful or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to face it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a space for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. If you can say to a friend, "I got my feelings hurt", rather than "You hurt my feelings", you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for what they are: small hurdles you need to jump or get through on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only serves to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will look back on all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."29. The writer believes that challenges ________.A. are always born with friendshipB. help build friendshipC. are never worth attentionD. help us grow30. If your friend hurts your feelings, you are advised to ____.A. point out your friend's mistakeB. calm yourself downC. start a proper conversationD. run away from it31. The whole passage is centered on the relationship(关系)between ___.A. friendship and challengesB. commitment and friendshipC. friendship and growthD. challenges and chances4.Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it.

AI found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write.I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s tes t paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.21.The story took place(发生)exactly ____________ .A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab22.The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____________ .A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone23.The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____________ .A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam 24.The boy knew everything ____________ .A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the roomBDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep and mutton?To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne (王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc(pork)and beouf (beef)came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So the English language retained the words pig and cow from the Native Anglo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.According to language experts, English speakers who have never studied French may already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English words have French ori gins. Some words such as “possible” and “avenue” are the same in French and English; only the pronunciations change. Other words such as “ballet” keep their French pronunciations in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender (性别), so adjectives take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The word “blond” describes someone with light-colored hair. “Blond” is used for men, and “blonde” describes women. And they are al so nouns. Some French words that entered the English language have completely different meanings. The French phrase “a la mode” means “in style”. In English, the phrase means “with the ice cream”. Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, you’re on your way to learning French!25.French was once popular among the upper classes of the UK because __________.A. too many French moved to BritainB. French brought animals with themC. the king and his officials spoke FrenchD. the king allowed French to be spoken26.Why does an English speaker find French easy to learn?A. Because English and French share similar pronunciations.B. Because English grammar and French grammar are similar.C. Because a large number of English words have French origins.D. Because English has great influences on the French language.27.What conclusion can we draw from the text?A. Language is closely related to history and culture.B. French and English words have nothing in common.C. Language is controlled by the upper classes of society.D. French combines English and the Native Anglo-Saxon.CSince the Internet came into homes, the daily life has never been the same again. But the thing that worries most of us is that we can get viruses from the Internet. But can we catch viruses on our cell phones? A new study in the journal Science says yes, but the spread of such mobile software that can bring harm to our cell phones won’t reach dangerous levels until more cell phones are on the same operating system.Computers are easily attacked by viruses because they share data, especially over the Internet. Of course, nowadays, more people are using their cell phones more and more frequently. They use them for emailing, text messaging and downloading troublesome ring tones, etc.,so it is obvious that cell phone viruses are a threat as well.Scientists used nameless call data from more than six million cell phone users to help model a possible outbreak. And they concluded that viruses that spread from phone to phone by Bluetooth are not much concerned, because users have to be in close physical relation for their phones to “see” one another. However, viruses that spread through multimedia messaging services can move much faster, because they can come in disguise(伪装), such as a cool tune sent by a friend. The good news is that to be effective, these viruses need their victims(受害人) to all use the same operating system, which not enough of us do. Because there is no Microsoft operating system for mobile phones, yet. Thank goodness.28.What is the passage mainly about?A. The operating system of cell phones.B. The threat of cell phone viruses.C. The wide use of cell phones.D. Computer viruses.29.When _____, cell phone viruses can be dangerous.A. all the cell phones work on the same operating systemB. Microsoft operating system for cell phones is createdC. users can see each other on the phonesD. Bluetooth is widely used30.What can we infer about Bluetooth according to the scientists?A. It can increase the chances of cell phone viruses greatly.B. It can help us to stop the spreading of cell phone viruses.C. It won’t possibly cause the outbreak of cell phone viruses.D. It can make users have close physical relation with one another.31.We can learn from the passage that ______.A. it is impossible to catch viruses on our cell phonesB. cell phones are not well connected with the InternetC. it is dangerous for people to download ring tones to cell phonesD. more than one operating system is used for cell phones nowDMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree?Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物)gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As is mentioned above, animals behave dishonestly for survival. Is it OK to lie for us human?32.The writer uses the three questions at the beginning of the passage to _________.A. ask the readers to answer the questionsB. draw the readers’ attention to the topicC. seek answers to the questionsD. show he is at a loss about the question.33.Which of the following is not an example of animal’s dishonest behaviors?A. A plover pretended to have a broken wing to protect its baby birds.B. A scrub jay dug out its buried food and reburied it somewhere else.C. The adoptive parents feed their baby birds of cuckoos.D. A losing chimp starts fighting again after taking the winner’s hand. 34.The underlined word “sneaky” in paragraph 5 most probably means______.A. selfishB. friendlyC. entertainingD. dishonest35.What is the common reaction of most chimps when they find their favorite food?A. They let out a loud cryB. They cry in a very low voiceC. They hide their food immediatelyD. They share their food with other chimps.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。

AI always experienced guilt when I passed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar.My conscience was pricked again on a tour of V enice in 2010. I had taken refuge from the crowds in a quiet canal-side café. Outside the caféwas an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. Steady streams of tourists were walking past her. A lone young back-packer stood away from the crowds drinking something, but I noticed he was also observing the woman.A tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived and, again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker stepping forward and placing some money in the woman’s cup. He did this rather ostentatiously(炫耀地), just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched as the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and added more coins to the woman’s cup.The young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer (同伴)pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman, patted her shoulder and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”I don’t know if the woman understood his English or realiz ed what had just happened, but I did. I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an act of caring.21.The author went to a quiet canal-side cafe to_______ .A. avoid meeting the beggarB. get away from the crowdsC. take a restD. watch the woman beggar22.The backpacker placed some money in the woman’s cup rather ostentatiously because_____.A. he wanted to stop the tourists by doing thisB. he wanted people to know that he was rich and kindC. he wanted to help the woman by himselfD. he wanted the tourist group to follow him23.We can infer from the passage that ________ .A. tourists can be cheated by beggarsB. people usually have pity on an old beggarC. tourists are willing to help beggarsD. people can do kind acts due to peer pressure24.Before the backpacker dropped some money in the woman’s cup, the tourists ______ .A. all showed pity for the womanB. didn’t notice the womanC. walked by without giving any moneyD. gave a little money to the womanBMore than 2 million US teenagers have suffered a serious bout(发作) of depression in the past year, according to a federal government survey released on Tuesday.On average, 8.5 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 17 described having had a major depressive episode in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported.But there were "striking differences" by sex, with 12.7 percent of girls and 4.6 percent of boys affected.Depression is the leading cause of suicide, which in turn is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds in the United States."The data Combined 2004 to 2006 data showed that rates of past year major depressive experience among youths aged 12 to 17 generally increased with increasing age," the researchers wrote.Researchers at SAMHSA and RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina,prepared the report using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.More than 67,700 youths aged 12 to 17 answered questions about mood and depression. They were also asked to rate how depression affected them using the Sheehan Disability Scale(残疾量表), which measures impact on family, friends, chores at home, work and school.Researchers defined a major depressive episode as two weeks or longer of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure, and at least four other symptoms such as problems with sleep, energy, concentration or self-image.Nearly half of the teenagers who had major depression said it severely damaged their ability to function in at least one of the areas on the disability scale."Fortunately, depression responds very well to early intervention and treatment," SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline said in a statement.25.The underlined word “ episode ” in paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. experimentB. experienceC. expressionD. feeling26.What can be implied, but is not stated directly?A. depression is the third-leading cause of suicide.B. There were over 2 million American teens suffering depression in the past two years.C. The students surveyed were aged between 12 and 17.D. There were more girl students suffering depression than boys.27.The main symptoms of a serious depressive episode include ____ .A. no family or friends or jobs or interests at all.B. low spirits, lack of sleep, energy and self-image, and poor concentration.C. poor health, sex discrimination, less energy and loss of interestsD. suicide, sadness, lack of confidence and depression.28.What will the following paragraph probably talk about according to the passage ?A. How to recover from stressB. How to have a happy feelingC. How to prevent and treat depressionD. How to live a comfortable lifeCThe sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria (疟疾). It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria related causes in 2012, and most of these caseswere in African countries.In the United States, a group of California scientists are working to develop a more effective and less costly substance (物质) to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds (化合物) until they found a substance called Ethyl Pyruvate. He says Ethyl Pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptors inactive. “W hen we apply Ethyl Pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the neurons (神经元) of noble cells that recognize both the smell of human breath and skin. “With the device used to examine the mosquito, we are able to insert a very small electrode (电极) into the part of the mosquito's nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening,” said Tauxe. Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl Pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT, the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.“Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behaviour control products,” said Ray. 29.The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means ________.A. a substance that protects people from mosquitoesB. a piece of equipment that sends signalsC. a device that reacts to lightD. a sense organ that reacts to changes30.According to the passage, Ethyl Pyruvate can ________.A. kill the mosquitoes' smelling neuronsB. cause the mosquitoes to lose their senses of smellC. result in the inactiveness of the mosquitoes' receptorsD. make the mosquitoes uninterested in human breath and skin smell31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Ethyl Pyruvate—an Insect Behaviour Control ProductB. Malaria—a Serious Disease Causing 630,000 DeathsC. Scientists Find a New Substance to Fight MosquitoesD. A New Generation of DEET Has Been Developed to Kill Mosquitoes32.This passage most probably appears in ________.A. a textbook of medical schoolsB. a collection of doctors' essaysC. the column of newspaper adsD. the health column of a magazineDA treasure trove hidden for centuries has been discovered in the underground vaults(墓穴)of a temple in southern India. The treasures include gold, diamonds and precious stones. The estimated value of the hoard is reportedly 22 billion US dollars.Hundreds of armed police have been deployed around the temple. Meanwhile, a debate about how to use the money has also broken out across the country. After discovering the treasure trove in Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the local government has assured security of the temple.Elaborating(详述) on the security arrangements, Venugopalan Nair, Additional Director General of the Kerala Police, says the latest security devices are being used to guard the temple. Venugopalan Nair, Additional Dir. Gen. of Kerala Police, said, "We are trying to bring in the latest technology with regards to surveillance(监视) cameras, with regards to, you know digitalizing the various things which are available inside. We are keeping a constant sort of surveillance for every movement, which happens in the whole area surrounding the temple." According to temple authorities, the crowd at the temple has increased steeply after news of the discovery of the treasure trove. And the Administrative Officer of the Temple says the government has initiated appropriate steps to control the curious crowds visiting the temple.G. Jayasekharan Nair, administrative officer, said, "To control the crowds the government itself is taking a lot of measures. They are trying to do whatever is possible from the premises(房屋) of the temple. Apart from all that, the government has taken a favorable step and we are satisfied with them."Over the last week, a seven-member team of investigators broke into five secret subterranean vaults, and discovered jewels that have been lying untouched for hundreds of years.As estimates of the treasures' worth rise, a fierce debate is growing regarding what to do with the discovery. Kerala's top elected leader said the wealth would remain with the temple, while others say it should be used to pay for poverty alleviation(扶贫). However, the government is standing for the Supreme Court's ruling on ownership of the treasure found in the temple. 33.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. The treasures include gold, diamonds and some old coins.B. The treasure trove has been lying unknown for hundreds of years before it is discovered.C. The local people are very curious about the treasure and the temple.D. The whole area surrounding the temple is under close watch.34.What G.Jayasekharan Nair said means that .A. what the government does means littleB. the crowd will make trouble without proper controlC. more effective measures should be takenD. the temple is of great value35.How will the government deal with the treasure mentioned in the passage?A. It will be used to pay for poverty alleviation.B. It will be returned to its owner.C. It will be kept in the vaults.D. It hasn’t been decided yet.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

They a rgued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak w illpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when yo u perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you t hink of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”The researchers designed four experiments to test students' b eliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or w ere led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, perform ed worse on standard concentration tests than those who tho ught of willpower as something they had more control over. T hey also found that leading up to final exam week, students w ho believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 perce nt more often than those who believed they had more control i n resisting temptation.Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource i s interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findingscould help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used t o think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior. 40.(本题2分)The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________ .A.people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB.people do need a break to restore their willpowerC.there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpowerD.weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much41.(本题2分)What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower ?A.It is in the charge of people.B.It is a limited resource.C.There is no way to restore willpower.D.It doesn’t easily run out.42.(本题2分)Which of the following best helps the students to prepare b etter for their exams?A.Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B.Don’t eat fast food while studying.C.Remind themselves willpower is not limited.D.Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.43.(本题2分)What’s the best title for the passage?A.A new theory about willpowerB.How to build strong willpowerC.The great influence of willpowerD.Willpower doesn’t last longLillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in abou t two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age – 73 years. She has been st udying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she shouldbe at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Li llian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children in stead of going to college.Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher educat ion. When her children grew up, she tried again.She finds it is the hardest part of going back to school at her a ge to be sitting in class for long periods of time. Because she i s not as quick as she used to be. Mrs Hanson often gets up a nd walks around between classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活的).

Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United Sta tes, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia an d New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and s ocial varieties of the language as well as various levels of usa ge that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of E nglish in addition to their own languages. The purpose for Eng lish learning and the situations in which such learning takes pl ace are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more diffi cult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for e ach situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the ind efinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in w hich some of important works in science, technology, and oth er fields are being produced, and not always by native speake rs. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the sp read of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a n umber of developing countries, especially former British coloni es. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such mattersas government, commerce, industry, law and education as we ll as for international communication and for entrance to the s cientific and technological developments in the West. 48.(本题2分)What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language49.(本题2分)Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate wor king knowledge of English.B.There are some 260 million native speakers ofEnglish in the world.C.It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people wit h an adequate working knowledge of English.D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.50.(本题2分)According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B.It is used in former British colonies.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communi cation.51.(本题2分)What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?A.Those geographically close to the United States.B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.C.Former colonies of the Great Britain.D.Countries where international conferences are held.We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We a chieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes pl ace in the classroom and the kind that happens when we wat ch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Condition ed as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we de pend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has aserious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are toldeven when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one perso n writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. Tha t person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, throug h all the people playing the game. The last person writes dow n the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the t wo written statements are compared. Typically, the original m essage has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people r epeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their personal style. Yet those who hear it think they kn ow.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A sta tement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as a fact by another, who mat in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process my continue, unless it occurs to so meone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon t hose facts.52.(本题2分)According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _ ________.A.doing a medical experimentB.solving a math problemC.visiting an exhibitionD.doing scientific reasoning 53.(本题2分)The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to _________.A.active learningB.knowledgemunicationD.passive learning54.(本题2分)The author mentions the game Rumor to show that ______ ___.A.a message may be changed when being passed onB.a message should be delivered in different waysC.people may have problems with their sense of hearingD.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor 55.(本题2分)what can we infer from the passage?A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliableC.Active learning occurs more frequently.D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.第II卷(非选择题)四、短文改错:56.Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing.

高中英语真题:中学2015-2016学年高二下学期第二次月考英语试题Word版.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.The king was to pass by a beggar’s small poor house and the man was excited, not because he was about to see the king but because the king was known to part with expensive jewels and huge sums of money when moved by sympathy.He saw the king’s carriage just when a kind man was filling his begging bowl with uncooked rice. Pushing the man aside, he ran into the street, shouting praises of the king and the royal family.The carriage stopped and the king beckoned to the beggar.“Who are you?” he asked. “One of the most unfortunate of your people,” said the beggar. “Poverty sits on my doorstep and follows me about like a dog. I haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon!” “Have you nothing for your king except great sorrow?” said the ruler, putting out hishand. “Give me something.” The beggar, astonished, carefully picked up 5 grains of rice from his bowl and laid them on the king’s outstretched palm. The king drove away. The beggar’s disappointment was great. He complained and cursed the king again and again for his miserliness.When he returned home in the evening he found a bag of rice on the floor. “Some generous soul has been here,” he thought and took out a handful of rice from the bag. To his astonishment, there was a small piece of gold in it. He realized then that the bag had been sent by the king. He emptied the rice on the floor, feeling sure there would be more gold pieces in it, and he was right. He found 5, one for each grain of rice he had given the king.“It is not the king who has been miserly,” thought the man, sadly. “If I had been generous and given him th e whole bowl of rice, I would have been a rich man today.”21. From the passage, we know that the king___________.A. was a kind man.B. was arrogant.C. was a miserly man.D. was very young.22. Why did the king ask the beggar for something according to the text?A.

The real reason why the beggar got only five gold pieces is that________.A. he complained and cursed the king again and againB. the king was only generous to rich peopleC. the king wanted to punish him severelyD. he himself was miserly2.You choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense—there is a reason foreverything that happens.The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.28. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?A. They died from accidents.B. They both died of old age.C. They died due to lack of care by family members.D. They weren’t accustomed to the change in life.29. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because .A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowB. they don’t know that natural course of eventsC. they believe that it is their faultD. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction30. T he underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to .A. the thingsB. the storiesC. the oppositesD. the survivors31. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Two sons blamed themselves for their mother’s death.B. Things don’t always go well as we expect.C. Two factors account for guilty sense.D. Baby’s wishes lead everything to happen.4.Everyone knows that eating too much junk food is not good to our health. Yet, what is it about junk food that is so completely irresistible(无可抗拒的)? For one thing, it’s everywhere. From chips in fast food restaurants to candy in supermarkets, junk food always seems available. Thankfully, science is now providing new clues to help us reduce snacking.Make friends with dainty(讲究的) eaters.Studies have found that people tend to increase or reduce the amount of food they eat depending on what their companions are taking in. See happy movies… and always get the smaller bag of popcorn(爆米花).According to some experts, people eat up to 29% more popcorn if they are watching a sad or serious movie, compared to when they are watching a comedy. Viewers consumed almost 200 calories more when snacking from a large bucket, as opposed to when given a medium-sized container.Eat breakfast.Nutritionists have gone back and forth(来来回回)about the question of how much to eat in the morning, but new studies suggest that consuming a good breakfast is a must. Surveys on long-term weight-loss show that two key factors in keeping weight down are eating breakfast and exercising.Divide your food and conquer overeating.Any kind of dividing your food into portions slows down your eating. Any kind of marker makes you aware of what you’re eating and of portion size. Researchers advise reallocating(再分配)snack foods into small plastic bags. It sounds simplistic, but it works.32. Why do people eat too much junk food though it is bad for our health?A. It’s delicious from chips to candy.B. It’s easily taken everywhere.C. Because it’s available here and there.D. It’s easily bought in fast fo od restaurants.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People are likely to eat more food when staying with friends.B. Nutritionists have the same opinion about how much to eat in the morning.C. People prefer to snack from a large bucket.D. If people are watching a tragedy, they eat up to 29% more popcorn.34. What will he or she do if he or she wants to lose weight?A. To eat nothing in the morning.B. To eat breakfast and exercise.C. To get up early and to go to bed late.D. To snack from a medium-size bucket.35. What is the text mainly about the rule(s)?A. how to eat properly and healthily.B. how to make friends with dainty eaters.C. how much to eat in the morning.D. how to control overeating.二、未分类(共2题)1.Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways 36 . Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 37 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 38 .The following methods may work best for you.● Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.● Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.● Write your notes in your own words.●39● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记). When you do, be sure that you understand your symbols(符号) and that you use them all the time. 40A. Use words not complete sentences.B. There are three practical note-taking methods.C. You must write your notes on separate paper.D. Otherwise, you may not be able to read your notes later.E. You will also want to develop your own method for taking notes.F. That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes.G. First, the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.2. In this constantly changing world, how to put the knowledge 61 (gain) every day into 62 _ (real) has interested numerous people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practiceis the key 63 it.” Apparently, this saying tries to deliver the message 64 we ought not 65 (stop) practicing it if we 66 (true) want to master the knowledge we learn.There are several reasons 67 (account) for this statement. To begin with, human beings are forgetful beings; therefore, only when we use knowledge, make 68 (mistake), and try to use it again will we be able to remember it by our heart. Moreover, knowledge has become growingly complicated and we can seldom grasp the essence of it if we do not practice it again and again.Practicing, to sum up, 69 (be) of the greatest importance for those who are determined to learn knowledge well. As a student, I hope that the young can focus more attention on practicing 70 they learn.三、完型填空(共1题)1.I had a lot on my mind as I picked up the pieces of what had once been my teddy bear on the snowiest day last year. Only twenty-four hours before, I had been 41 with it in our farmhouse. How quickly things 42 ! The house I had lived in disappeared.

2015-2016学年上学期12月月考试题卷高二英语考试时间 90 分钟总分为 120 分第二局部: 阅读理解〔共两节;总分为40分〕第一节〔共15小题,每一小题2分,总分为30分〕AFrank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.〞21. Frank took a short business course in order to ____________.A. earn more money for his familyB. learn something from a salesmanC. get away from the farmD. get enough to eat.22. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _____________.A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.B. he cut down the price by halfC. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.23. The price of the knives was cut down by half because ______________.A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap.D. the knives were produced in one factory.24. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.A. His business skills and his wealth.B. The low price of the goods he sold.C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.D. His natural skill for showing things.BAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones〞. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods〞, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.25. The passage is mainly about _____________.A. color and its surprising effects.B. women being luckier than menC. danger caused by color blindnessD. color blindness26. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones〞, we can_______________.A. tell different shapesB. see in a weak lightC. kill mosquitoesD. tell orange from yellow27. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?A. Women are more careful.B. There are fewer color-blind womenC. Women are fonder of driving than men.D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.28. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.B. None of them can see deep red.C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.D. All of them see everything in shades of green.CActually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, "history" teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that "I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of horse work to do, so'"." Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation,support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to "give" you the right to be heard, and to serve you.Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.29. At the beginning of the first semester the students were_____each other.A. quite curious aboutB. active and kind toC. full of sympathy toD. specially tired of30. Now the students are unwilling to get involved in the activities because they are______.A. not easy to organizeB. costing too much timeC. difficult to comprehendD. meaningless and boring31. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Students' passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually.B. Students' passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting.C. Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes.D. Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders.32. We can infer from the passage that the writer must beA. a supporter of activitiesB. a responsible teacherC. a top student in classD. a devoted class leaderDDolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brains are nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have beenstories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.33. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they __________.A. live in groupsB. have large brainsC. are warm-bloodedD. have their own language34. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A. Its nose.B. Its ears.C. Its mouth.D. Its eyes.35. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that __________.A. dolphins are friendly and cleverB. people are cruel to animalsC. Jack is different from other dolphinsD. dolphins should be protected by law第二节〔共五题,总分为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优选项。

信阳高中高二12月月考英语试题第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AJune came and the hay was almost ready for cutting.On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr.Jones went to Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday.The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting, without bothering to feed the animals.When Mr.Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the world" over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed.At last, they could stand no longer.One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns(角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr.Jones woke up.The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips (鞭子) in their hands, whipping in all directions.This was more than the hungry animals would bear.Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters.Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with horns and kicked from all sides.The situation was quite out of their control.They had never seen animals act like this before, and this sudden uprising (起义) of creatures whom they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose frightened them.After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves.A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully.21.Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?A.Willington was the name of a relative.B.Red Lion was the name of a bar.C.News of the World was a TV program.D.Store-house is a place to feed the cows.22.The cows broke into the store-house to feed themselves because .A.They were so angry at their masters B.They wanted to fight with the menC.They wanted to go on strike D.They-were too hungry 23.The cows jumped upon their masters because _________.A.they were not fed B.they were so hungryC.they were whipped so hard D.they were so happy 24.What would be the best tile for the story?A.Midsummer's Eve B.A Bad SundayC.Cows and Their Masters D.Rebellion of CowsBThe Future StarsGeneral introductionThe Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality childcare in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age.

What is the purpose of the passage?A. To attract public donations.B. To promote early education.C. To tell the benefits of childcare.D. To introduce a child development center.CYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but of ten very awkward places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance. When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple –look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,”Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed (理解) as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.29.The main purpose of the article is to _____.A.remind us to enjoy ourselves in the elevatorB.tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquetteC.share an interesting but awkward elevator rideD.analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator30.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A.turn around and greet one anotherB.look around or examine their phoneC.make eye contact with those in the elevatorD.try to keep a distance from other people31.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?32.The writer wrote the passage in a tone of ___________.A.disapproved B.objective C.negative D.supportiveDDoes a Tea Break Make You More Efficient?China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong, 5,000 years ago. Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter, but tea enjoys the pride as the UK’s national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day.With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and d rinking tea and coffee. That is, £400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he says. “But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.”Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make pe ople more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,” says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re comforting and play a big role in our ev eryday life. Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’twasted.”33 What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break p lays an important role in people’s life in Britain.D. A lot of time has been wasted drinking tea in the working day.34. We learn from a recent survey that in Britain _______.A. £400 is lost in working hours for each personB. tea breaks take up 24 minutes in a working dayC. people spends 190 days drinking tea and coffee each yearD. people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day35. What’s Psychologist Coopers’ attitude towards tea break?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Negative.D. Positive.EWhat makes a good school?I'm a parent of two elementary students.The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age.What I think of a good school is communication between teachers.students and parents. 36 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents.37 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much.On the other hand,I feel the same when I write notes to school. 38 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US.However.choosing a career in education is not just for a good job.A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life. 39 Even now,I still remember all my elementary school teachers’names. 40 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience.When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents,it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend,not just GOOD.A.I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions,not even a one-word response.B.There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures.C.Why is that?D.Strong communication is very important to a child’s education.E.I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough and neither is involvement.F.My elementary school teachers all touched my life.G.What do you think of it?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。

After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. ―Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,‖ he says. ―But if they’re often drinking it and then go without, they’ll feel tired and won’t work well.‖ Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. ―We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of doing this,‖ says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: ―We warm our hands on them on a cold day; they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeine’s doing, I’d say these 24 minutes aren’t wasted.‖33 What is the passage mainly about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B.
