AThere are two factors（因素）which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the so rt of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, s ome being more capable than others. But no matter how gooda brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low ord er of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual－the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individ ual has less chances environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never obtain the level of intellige nce of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual' s intelligence can be shown by the case history of the twins. When they were three months old, their parents died, and the y were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by pa rents of low intelligence in a separate community with poor ed ucational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do opportunity to be encouraged intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were i n their late teens, when they were given tests to measure thei r intelligence. Mark's IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points highe r than his twin brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, h aving similar brains, would have tested at roughly the same le vel.1. This passage can best be titled______.A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB. Intelligence and EnvironmentC. The Case of Peter and MarkD. How the Brain Influences IntelligenceThe best statement of the main idea of this passage is that___ ___.A. human brains differ considerablyB. the brain a person is born with is important in determining h is intelligenceC. environment is important in determining a person's intellige nceD. persons having similar brains will have roughly the same in telligenceAccording to the passage, the average IQ is______.A. 85B. 100C. 110D. 1254. This passage suggests that an individual's IQ______.A. can be foretold at birthB. stays the same thro ughout his lifeC. can be increased by educationD. is determined by hi s childhoodBShort and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class pick ed for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with alaugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gy m classes in England's rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that c hanged him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby for est. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradu ally, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing hi s speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first m arathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famo us in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic O cean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's scho ol of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man's cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explore rs and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren't the usual holidays for British count ry boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “J ohn Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say, 'You are com pletely crazy,'” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his fi rst long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbi te, had a closer encounter with a polar bear and pushed his b ody to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the Arctic by himsel f than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe th e transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.5. The turning point in Saunders' life came when _____A. he started to play ball gamesB. he got a mountain bike at age 15C. he ran his first marathon at age 18D. he started to receive Ridgway's training6. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A. dismissed Saunders' dream as fantasyB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic7. What do we know about Saunders?A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.8. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph prob ably means_____.A. ExcitedB. ConvincedC. DelightedD. FascinatedCToo much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies sugges t in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on chil dren.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thi rd-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children wi thout bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the res ults don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that alr eady poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknig ht during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school .In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bed room TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that childre n shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.9. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might＿＿＿＿.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be inter ested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have had c omputers in their bedrooms10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on computers.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.11. What would be the best title for this text?A. Computers or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Children's Learning HabitsDThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San F rancisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning aft er a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a we ek away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dea ling with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting an d San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to ke ep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad－looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife o r a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetli ght. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run f aster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been m y wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched th e sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhe re to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside,“Alisa Camacho?”, I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and o ut jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes.“Is this what you'r e looking for?”he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get m uch sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also ha d gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the ci ty couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to he lp each other.12. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpl ess.13. From the first paragraph, we lean that the writer was busy ______.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show14. On her way home the writer______.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her15. From the text, we can infer that the writer______.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bank第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

He hasn’t stolen a single book. So what’s the crime? We think that Mr. Brush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story.”When asked why he didn’t return the books, Mr. Brush said, “Well, how could I? They became friends to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.”He continued, “Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich yo u with wisdom and humor and love. A book is my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air.“Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they’re all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me!I need to rescue them. E xcuse me. I have to go now.”1. Why was the man put into prison?A. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.B.

The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s bod y, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.She is a membe r of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”8. What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?A．They were friendly to her. B．They showed sympathy to her.C．They looked down upon her. D．They were afraid of her.9.

What can be the best title of the passage?A．A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B．Ways to Get Rid of Unkind StaresC．A seriously burned angel of Hope D．Permanent Scars And Pain For a GirlDAttitudes to AIDS NowMost people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don't know there's no cure and strongly disagree that "the AIDS epidemic(传染病) is over," a new survey finds.The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths."While people are very optimistic about the advances, they're still realistic about the fact that there is no cure" says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the country's top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser Poll, 38% say it's the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No.1, down from 41% in 1992 and 67% in 1987.Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1,200 adults in September and October and asked additional questions of another 1,000 adults in November:52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995. 51% say the government spends too little on AIDS. 86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that the drugs are not cures. 67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24% know deaths fell. Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, "I'm encouraged that the American people are getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn't over. I hope the decision-makers in Washington are getting the same message … We have seen signs o f complacency.12. What do activists worry about?A. Recent news about AIDS is not true.B. Advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.C. People may stop worrying about AIDSD. Deaths caused by AIDS may not decline. 13.

According to the Kaiser Poll, which of the following is NOT Correct?A. More and more people die of AIDS now.B. The country is making progress against AIDS.C. AIDS drugs can now make people live longer.D. AIDS drugs still cannot save people's lives.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。

人教版2017高二(上学期)第一次月考英语试题

人教版2017高二上学期第一次月考英语试题含答案第二部分阅读理解（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，从每題所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAs a boy, Sanders was much influenced by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunities to go on working as a life-saver.1. When he was a small boy, Sander was influenced by books about ______.A. the hospital.B. the war.C. the sea.D. the countryside. 2. At the age of 14, Sanders ______.A. worked as a doctor in the hospital.B. got along well with the patients.C. was interested in talking with doctors and patients.D. helped to clean the medicine bottles in the hospital.3. When the war was over, he ______.A. had the happiest time of his life.B. started to hate the sight of blood while working.C. served the countrymen under an old doctor.D. had few chances to be a “life-saver” because he was younger.BIn the United States and several other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their hometowns. Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms. Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant. Eventually, the top teams go to the Little League World Series.One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field and fewer innings than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World War Ⅱ when the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it hadspread to Europe. Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year.At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally, a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Major Leagues, ten of them as an All－Star player. By and large, youngsters play baseball for fun, but their parents are proud of them.4．The mothers and fathers of Little League players ________．A．play in the World Series B．travel with coachesC．give the teams money D．help run the games5．In what year did baseball come into being?A．1739 B．1939 C．1955 D．18396．Why do most players take part in Little League?A．To play in the Major League.B．To have fun.C．They expect a profit from All－Star games.D．They want to learn how to serve as umpires.7．What is TRUE about players today?A．Little League is only for neighborhood boys. B．Girl players have to buy their suits.C．Girls and boys can participate up to age eighteen.D．Children can only play until age twelve.CA man steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way beneath his feet. The man struggles desperately, but he is trapped. He cannot escape. Slowly he sinks deeper and deeper until at last he is gone, buried in the treacherous earth. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage（排水）, the sand can become stretches of quicksand.Is it true that a man who steps into quicksand is doomed to(注定)die? No, for men have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌)that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand give way temporarily(临时地), but then it rushes and settles solidly around the body. A man trapped in quicksand should either lie back, or not move at all, except to stretch out his arms. When the weight of the sand his body has displaced equals his weight, he will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke in swimming men can manage to roll to safety and reach firm ground.8. What is quicksand?A. A piece of solid ground mixed with water.B. A pool near the beach filled with water.C. A deep mass of fine sand mixed with water.D. A piece of sinking land in the water.9. The underlined part “giving way” in the first paragraph probably means ______.A. shaking and movingB. allowing others to be firstC. rising to the topD. breaking or breaking into pieces10. A person stops sinking when the weight of his body is _____ that of the sand hisbody has displaced.A. greater thanB. the same asC. half ofD. close to11. Men can manage to reach firm ground by ______.A. holding feet still and moving arms slowlyB. lying back calmly and moving arms frequentlyC. stretching out arms and swimming quicklyD. swimming quickly and moving arms slowlyDThe Parthenon(帕特农神庙) in Athens is a building with a long and complex(复杂的) history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque (清真寺), and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures(塑像) much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained.Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire(奥斯曼帝国), which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities，removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic trends. These sculptures were gained from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they have all been on show to the public, free of charge.Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the return of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum Board of Trustees’ legal title to the sculptures.The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures. It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced — and was influenced by — the other civilizations that it came across.12．For most of its history people went to the Parthenon to ________.A. admire the goddess AthenaB. pray to their godC. search for sculpturesD. learn about its complex history13．What can we infer from the passage?A. The sculptures introduced ancient Greek culture to the west.B. Ancient Greek culture has greatly influenced world culture.C. The British Museum has made much money from the Parthenon sculptures.D. The British Museum is the most suitable place for protecting these sculptures. 14．What can we learn about Lord Elgin from the passage?A. He is greatly admired in Greece.B. He worked for the Ottoman Empire.C. He saved the Parthenon sculptures from being destroyed.D. He had a deep interest in Greek culture.15．The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell________.A. the history of the Parthenon and its sculpturesB. what people can see in the British MuseumC. why the British Museum refuses to return the sculpturesD. the influence of Greece on British culture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，并在答題卡上将该项涂黑。

福建省莆田新高三英语第一次月考试题

2016-2017年莆田十七中高三第一次月考英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：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。

AAn Unexpected StormThis is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It happened two and a half years ago. It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm. For Moscow, it was very unusual, and nobody predicted this storm before it happened.It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home alone watching TV. The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot.Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I wanted to close the window and came near. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind. I tried to close the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break.I stood up and tried to close the window again, but it was not p ossible because the wind was now stronger, and it was pushing the window open. I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window. It worked.When I looked outside, the tree in front of my window was fiat on the ground, and there was strong thunder and lightning. I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs, which took about 10 seconds. A sportsman would have envied my speed.When I finished, I looked outside. It was terrible, and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature.Suddenly, the wind stopped, and it began to hail (下冰雹). The ice was the size of grapes. After 10 minutes, everything stopped, and the sun shone as before. It was strange. A few minutes later, the phone began to ring every five minutes. It was my friends or relatives. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.Many trees died because of the storm. For a few days, the people helpedclean parks and gardens. Some people’s cars were damaged by trees falling on them. After one week, it was history already. This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow. It shows us that we are children of nature, and we must respect her.1. How did the weather change according to the passage?A. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—windy—hail—sunny.B. Sunny and hot—windy—hail—thunder and lightning—sunny.C. Sunny and hot—thunder and lightning—hail—windy—sunny.D. Sunny and hot—windy—thunder and lightning—hail—sunny.2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A. I did all the things in a flash.B. I could run faster than a sportsman.C. I could stay at home on a stormy day.D. I was admired by the sportsman for my speed.3. What did the author learn from the unexpected storm?A. Everything will be history.B. We should respect nature.C. We should help each other.D. The disaster will be predicted.BUnemployment in the United States is still high at 6．7 percent. But for job seekers，especially those with college educations，researchers say finding a job can be as easy as logging on to a computer．It used to be that looking for a job meant hurrying around，knocking on doors and turning to ads．But that's changing，thanks to the Internet．A new report says，for college graduates，looking for a job is getting easier．More than 80 percent of the jobs are available online．At the height of the depression(萧条)，when U．S．unemployment peaked at 10 percent，just a little more than two million jobs were being posted each month．But as the recovery takes hold，the job picture looks increasingly bright．That’s great news for Hamilton．Only once has he ever applied in person for a job at a shopping mall. He said，“I think my generation—the idea of going door to door, out knocking and saying，hey are you hiring? —like that—doesn’t exist anymore…those days are gone, Just go online．’’Kim Dancy recently graduated with a master's degree in Public Policy．She found her dream job as an education policy researcher．But she says finding theperfect job online takes a lot of perseverance．He said，“It can be really frus trating and it takes a long time，but if you applied for enough positions and really do your homework you will get somewhere．The report’s findings suggest careers in Science，Technology，Engineering and Math provide the greatest opportunities，with salaries that range between $30 to $45 an hour．But for maximum income and satisfaction，workers must be prepared to move and change jobs at least every five years．4．The highest unemployment rate in the depression in the U．S．was _____. A．7％ B．6．7％ C．6％ D．10％5．In what way does Hamilton find his jobs in most cases?A．Applying in person． B．Turning to the Internet．C．Searching papers． D．Going door to door．6．What can we learn from Dancy’s experience?A. Job applicants should do much housework. B． Finding a dream job is really exciting．C．Only online can an applicant find a job． D．Online job—hunting calls for perseverance．7．How can you get a high salary according to the text?A．By switching jobs regularly． B．By sticking to your work．C．By surfing the Internet． D．By hurrying around．CComparing ourselves with others isn’t a recent phenomenon—it’s part of our culture. As soon as we’re able to form our own thoughts and opinions, we start comparing. Who’s taller? Who’s better at sports? Who has more friends?Unlike other childish habits, the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn’t ever really go away. In fact, it only increases when we become teens. “At a younger age, I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn’t that cool,”said a junior student Michael Torres. “So I began doing what they did in order to fit in with my own friends.”We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others. Magazines, advertisements, stores—it becomes all about what other people have or what they’ve achieved. Social media adds another layer to the problem. Facebook, Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us. She got accepted to Harvard? He bought the brand new Nikes? They’re dating?“If I go on Facebook or Twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is, I’m not feeling good about myself. It’s going to make me feel worse,”said Mike Robbins, a senior student. “I try not to let things like that affectme, but in the modern world of technology it’s hard not to take notice of what others are doing, and sometimes you want to be just like them.”Before you get caught up in the comparison game, keep in mind one very important detail: When it comes to social media, we often present only the things we want people to see—the good fortunes, happy moments, delicious desserts and best smiles.The deeper question is: Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people? It’s what we do in our culture: “Look how great I am,”“Look how smart I am,”“Look how happy I am,” and sometimes that’s true, but in a lot of cases, it’s not.While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder, it can also drive us crazy. Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up, remember this: What we have is not a m easure of who we are. We already have worth as an individual when we’re born. Everything else is what people think of us.8. When do we start to compare ourselves with others?A. When we go to junior schools.B. When we were born into the world.C. When we have Facebook or Tweeter.D. When we have thoughts and opinions.9. According to the author, why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?A. To show off their lives.B. To get advice from readers.C. To share happiness with others.D. To communicate useful information.0. The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison by _________.A. listing a lot of figuresB. giving facts and examplesC. providing scientific findingsD. comparing famous persons’opinions1. From the passage, we learn that the author _________ comparison with others.A. supportsB. ignoresC. opposesD. respectsDWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stone for success.12. According to the passage, winners .A. blame themselves rather that othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. deal with problems rather than blame others13. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. improveB. acceptC. avoidD. consider14. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. blame him for his lack of r esponsibilityB. find a better way to handle the problemC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. ask a more able colleague for help15. When problems occur, winners take them asA. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. chances for self-developmentD. challenges to their colleagues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。

ARecently Lonely Planet makes up the ten Asian tourist attract ions, also in the list of magic area.1. Hokkaido,Though known primarily to the outside world for its ski resorts and powdery snow, 's year-round beauty might soon b ecome a more familiar sight to foreign visitors. The new bullet -train service from should help.2. ,The enormous metropolis of Shanghai -- 's mostpopulous city -- has an historic urban core which sits alongside its status asa contemporary, global financial hub.3. ,Hundreds of traditional Korean houses remain in central Jeonj u's Hanok village.4. ,Once the site of the infamous Con Dao prison, Vietnam's isola ted archipelago of 16 islands known as the is starting to bec ome known for its scenery and fresh seafood.5. ,A junk boat set against the famous skyline might be the iconic shot of Hong Kong, but Lonely Planet picked the territory for i ts natural heritage miles away from Victoria Harbor.6. Ipoh, MalaysiaAround 200 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur, the former Briti sh colonial city is now a foodie destination, where local street food and boutique cafes abound.What’s more, Taiwan is also included in this book. The footbri dge which connects small, uninhabited Sanxiantai Island to T aitung is celebrated for its eight looping arches. This coastal c ounty is in Lonely Planet's list of top destinations in Asia to vis it in 2016.1. If you want to see beautiful sightseeing by train, you’d better go to______.A. Shanghai, ChinaB. Hokkaido, JapanC. Jeonju, South KoreaD. Ipoh, Malaysia2. We can infer that Lonely Planet is the largest_______ book publisher in the world.A. scienceB. expedition and adventureC. travel guideD. nature3. There are _____ places in China in Lonely Planet's list of to p destinations in Asia to visit in 2016.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BI have been watching my daughters play sports since they we re four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the cr owd behave.At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents wo uld be screaming at their children to get their heads into the g ame, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I und erstand parents want to encourage their children and their tea m—but at some point it becomes too much.My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displea sure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime , speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in m y ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I ha d to move.Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the sc hoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports gam es, which can become a problem for the players. The worst th ing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”I am all for parent spectators (观众)cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I ho pe you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?”“Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.4. Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author .A. told her to shut upB. found another seatC. asked Grace for helpD. refused to talk to her5. In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel .A. helplessB. impatientC. frightenedD. ashame d6. The author is against parent spectators .A. keeping silent all the timeB. saying unpleasant wordsC. cheering on the playersD. leaving during halftime CA lot of us enjoy doing it: you turn on the camera on your mob ile phone and hold it at a high position, making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out. You turn to y our best side and click. There it is --- your selfie.Over the past year, “selfie” has become a well-known term across the globe. This August the Oxford dictiona ry added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as: “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a s mart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media websit e.”Today it’s not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends. And selfie culture has become especially related to young people. As many as 91 percent of teenagers have posted photos ofthemselves online, according to a recent survey by the US P ew Research Center.So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture?“The craze of the selfie celebrates regular people,” Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Profess ional Psychology, told Vogue magazine ,“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online.“I like having the power to choose how I look, even if I’m maki ng a funny face,” Samantha Barks, 19, a high school student in the US, told Vogue.In addition, selfies “allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends, because you can see each other’s faces eve ry day”, wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post.But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies mi ght lead to social problems. “There’s a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心） may start to be tied to the comments and ‘likes’ you get when you post aselfie, and they aren’t based on who you are ---they’re based on what you look like,” Weber told Vogue. “When you get nothing or a negative response, your confidence can plummet.”7. The first paragraph is intended to _________.A. introduce the topic of selfieB. describe how to enjoy selfi eC. show the importance of selfieD. explain why selfie is pop ular8. How many reasons for the rise of selfie culture are mention ed in the passage?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four9. What is Jill Weber’s opinion about selfies?A. Comments on selfie are based on who you are.B. Others’ response to selfies might affect one’s self-esteem.C. Selfies have more disadvantages than advantages.D. Selfies shouldn’t be encouraged for they lead to social pro blems.10. The underlined word “plummet” in the last paragraph is cl osest in meaning to __________.A. put upB. calm downC. pick upD. go downDIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chance s to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make peopl e get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best y ears of his life to get education only for a way of living. This w as probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need t o spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography n eed not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths nee d not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than t eaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to t each him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his cre ative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. E ducation is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good bo oks, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reaso n for education, but certainly not the most important or the ma in reason.11. People with little education usually .A. spend a long time in schoolB. have a good chance to get a jobC. spend the best years to choose jobsD. have fewer cha nces to get a good job12.

AMark felt that it was time for him, to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area’s city councilwoman(女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman.It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” he decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.”As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and a baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries start ed to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got great timing!”“Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’s a good place to start.”21.

To show the importance of a good lifestyle.D. To give information about a kind of medicine.CWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equali ty of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have to tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Wi thout examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defence of excellence and opportu nity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.28. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenom enon that________.A. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.B. children from well—respected schools tend to have good jobsC. poor children with certificates are favoured in job marketsD. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success29. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.30. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________.A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selectionB. computers should be selected to take over many jobsC. special classed are necessary to keep the school standardsD. schools with academic subjects should be done away with31. The passage mainly focuses on ___________.A. schools and certificatesB. examination and equalityC. opportunity and employmentD. standards and reputationDEvery year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious conditionof our birds is not improved.Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoo t, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.32. According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because___________.A. they have little knowledge of itB. it helps to build human characterC. it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD. they want to keep wildlife under control33. The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means___________.A. formB. ConditionC. painD. sadness34. According to the text, the films children watch at school actually__________.A. teach them how to deal with guns safelyB. praise hunting as character-buildingC. describe hunting as an exerciseD. encourage them to have guns of their own35. It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_____________.A. blame the majority of peopleB. worry about the existence of wildlifeC. be in favour of warD. be in support of character-building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。

As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father sa id, “All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well,it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breat h is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can’t live without him.”Her mother said, “In the morning,get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Do n’t say any word before you brush your teeth.”The young woman followed her mother’s advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks everynight and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife woken. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing?”The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed my sock!”24. What troubled the young man before he got married?A. His feet had an unpleasant smell.B. He was unprepared for the big day.C. He was too poor to marry the girl.D. His habit was too bad to be known.25. Why did the husband feel frightened?A. Because he forgot to wear the socks.B. Because one of his socks was missing.C. Because his wife might find the truth.D.

What would happen next most probably?A. The wife would leave the husband soon.B. The couple would tell each other the truth.C. The husband would buy a new pair of socks.D. The couple’s parents would help find the sock.CIf you want to succeed in life, you need to express the proper body language,with or without having to say anything else. You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language.Relax your shoulders, keep your hands at your sides (never inside your pockets) and breathe slowly. Have a warm, welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating. Depending on the situation, you may smile when appropriate.Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible throughout the talk. Nodding and tilting(倾斜) your head closer can show that you are listening.Do not fold(交叉) your arms, look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets. These can show that you are uninterested. If you have any comments, you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows.A lot of your body language can show how confident, interested, bored, angry or nervous you are. Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show that you are very much into the conversation at hand.You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize(强调) a point. If you are enumerating things, it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track.Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with. It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say.Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries(界限) of body language through actual contact. Remember that in body language, it is your body that does the talking for you.28. According to the text, if you find a listener raising his eyebrows, he may _______.A. try to show his angerB. want to give his own opinionC. not understand what you sayD. want to prove his confidence29. What is the most suitable title for the text?A. The power of body languageB. The attraction of body languageC. The origin of body languageD. The understanding of body language30. _______________ can show that you are listening.A. Folding your armsB. Putting your hands in your pocketsC. Looking down at the groundD. Nodding and tilting your head closer31. If you want to show confidence in your communication, you should pay moreattention to ___________________.A. pacingB. keeping up your headC. touching the other personD. keeping your hands at your sideDAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Mo st evenings Daniel wouldn’t get homeuntil eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,”says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”32. The passage tells us that ________________.A. people seldom work long hours to make moneyB. people hardly buy more things than necessaryC. people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD. people realize there is more to life than just making money33. When Daniel was a reporter he __________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid34. What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make moremoney is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?A. People work long hours to earn their living.B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.C. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.D. People spent too much time and money eating meals.35. The underlined word “downshifting”in the second paragraph refers to_________.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week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。
