安徽省舒城中学2017-2018学年高二上学期研究性学习材料(五)英语试题
舒城中学高二研究性学习材料（五）语文时间：80分钟总分：100分命题：审题：选择题（8分）1. 下列各句中句式特点与例句相同的一项是（）例句：访风景于崇阿A. 遂见用于小邑B. 农人告余以春及C. 童子何知，躬逢胜饯D. 背负青天而莫之夭阏者2. 下列各种说法中有误的一项是（）A. “归去来兮，田园将芜胡不归”是诗人陶渊明发自内心的呼喊，它表明诗人归隐的原因就在于家里的田地无人收拾，同时也说明他是一个热爱劳动，反对不劳而获的人。
B. “辞”是介于散文与诗歌之间的一种文体，《归去来兮辞》虽然采用了楚辞的体式，但作者能自出机杼，不受楚辞中怨愤、悲伤情调的影响，而表现出一种淡远潇洒的意旨。
C. 《滕王阁序》作为一篇序文，借登高之会感怀时事，慨叹身世，其中“襟三江而带五湖，控蛮荆而引瓯越”一句集中概括了滕王阁所处的雄伟地势。
D. 庄子认为要达到“逍遥”之境，则应“无所待”，这反映了道家消极避世的思想，同时也是作者既无法解决社会矛盾，又不愿与黑暗势力同流合污的一种无可奈何的心理反映。
3. 下列各句中引用的课文名句，使用有误的一项是（）A. 你的遭遇确实令人同情，但是，志士能人命途多舛者多矣，“冯唐易老，李广难封”，你又何必怨天尤人呢？B. 胜者诚可敬，失败者亦未必可悲。
周恩来有诗曰“难酬蹈海亦英雄”；王勃有句云“老当益壮，宁移白首之心”，这些诗句说明，英雄是成功者的奖品，更是坚毅者的封号。
C. 近朱者赤，近墨者黑，环境对人的影响是巨大的；但是，人在逆境中也不一定就得垂头丧气、无能为力，“酌贪泉而觉爽，处涸辙以犹欢”“出淤泥而不染，濯清涟而不妖”就是最有力的说明。
D. 有人觉得自己就这样的基础，要想将来学有所成不太可能，不如趁早解放自己。
错矣，“北海虽赊，扶摇可接；东隅已逝，桑榆非晚”，只要努力，一切都来得及。
4．依次填入下面一段文字横线处的语句，衔接最恰当的一组是( )也许是由于狭窄弯曲的加查峡谷把顺谷而上的印度洋暖湿气流断然截住，翻过布达拉山，放眼一望，景色发生了很大的变化。
安徽省六安市舒城中学2017-2018学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题
高二英语限时训练第二部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AA Russian,a Cuban(古巴人),an American businessman and an American lawyer were on a train travelling across England.The Russian took out a large bottle of vodka(伏特加酒),gave each of the men a drink and then threw the rest half bottle of vodka out of the window.“Why did you do that?” asked the American businessman.“There’s too much vodka in my country,” said the Russian.“And we really have more than we will ever use.”A little later,the Cuban passed around fine Havana Cigars.Then he threw the rest out of the window.“I thought Cuba is not a rich country,”the businessman said.“But you threw that very good cigars out of the window!”“Cigars,” the Cuban answered,“are the cheape st in my country.We have more of them than we know what to do with.”The American businessman sat quietly for a moment.Then he got up,caught the lawyer by the arm and threw him out of the window.21. The Russian and the Cuban both wanted to .A. make the businessman happyB. prove that they were richC. tell the businessman that their countries are richD. ask the two Americans to visit their countries22. When the businessman said “I thought Cuba is not a rich country”,he meant “”A. Russia is richer than Cuba.B. America is richer than Cuba and Russia.C.Do you have more cigars than me?D. You shouldn’t throw those very good cigars away.23. What did the businessman want to say by throwing the lawyer out of the window?A. I want to buy some vodka.B. We have too many lawyers in my country.C. If you need lawyers,come to America.D. I’ll go to Cuba and do some business of cigars.24. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?A. There’s Too MuchB. Four Rich MenC. You’re Wasting Too MuchD. Travelling across EnglandBIs it your dream to fly and to work in space? Do you want to be a NASA astronaut? Like many jobs, the first thing would be to fill out the application. A record-breaking 18,300 people filled out applications recently when NASA announced it was filling its 2017 Astronaut Candidate program. But out of those 18.300 applicants, just eight to 14 will be hired by the U.S. space agency.It will take 18 months to decide who will be in the new class of ast ronauts. NASA will review all of the files, which will later go to its current team of astronauts, to make sure they meet the basic qualifications.The first requirement is the applicants must be U.S. citizens. They need a college degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics. They also need at least three years of experience in a similar field or at least 1,000 hours as a jet airline pilot.There are requirements to pass a physical test. And then there are personality qualities tests as well. What kinds of personalities is NASA looking for in an astronaut? NASA’s Selection Manager Anne Roemer said, “I think leadership , teamwork, the ability to not only work on a team, lead a team, but also follow, be a follo wer on a team. Communication certainly plays a role, so it’s some pretty common skills that I think translate into even other professions.”About 120 applicants will be invited to the Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, for a first round of interviews, about half of whom will go back for a second round. Once selected, they must complete two years of training in everything about spaceflight-things like learning about all the systems used by NASA, walking in space and Russian language training. Until the U.S. has a working vehicle to launch into space, NASA still depends on Russia to get astronauts into space.25. What is the percentage of employment among the applicants?A. About half of themB. About 8 to 14C. About 120 applicantsD. Less than 0.08 percent26. Which is the most important personality quality according to NASA’S Selection Manager?A. DevotionB. CommunicationC. Team spiritD. Patience27. Which is NOT the basic requirement the applicants have to meet?A. Related experience.B. Speaking Russian fluently.C. A college degree in required areas.D. Passing physical and personality tests.28. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. What is takes to be an astronaut?B. What an astronaut should train in?C. NASA welcome its most applicants ever.D. NASA 2017 Astronaut Candidate program.CSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fac t easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.I n texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; V oice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’ phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.29. What does the underlined word “exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?A. Worried.B. Annoyed.C. Surprised.D. Tired.30. Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?A. He liked text messages better.B.He enjoyed checking his voice mails.C. He didn’t want to talk with his father.D. He didn’t receive any vo ice mail messages.31. Which of the following does the writer agree to?A.People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessaryC. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.D. People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.32. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you messageB. Nowadays: what should we do with text messagesC. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice messageD. Nowadays: what means should we use in communicationDBEIJING—More Chinese consumers prefer to make payments via smart devices as mobile apps have made purchases much easier, but security concerns remain, a PwC report said.Nearly one-third of responders in China chose mobile payment when shopping last year, doubling from 16 percent in 2014, according to the accounting firm’s global retail (零售) survey. The figure appeared much higher than the world’s average of 12 percent.The popularity comes as a result of rapid growth of mobile payment options and an expanding mobile network, the report said.Chinese have started to enjoy a wide range of mobile payment options that allow faster, securer payment through near field communication and QR code. Moreover, more advances have been seen in biometric technology, such as the use of fingerprints and facial recognition.“As competition becomes fierce, mobile payment players are trying to attract users through the continuous development of technology and business models,” said YuqingGuo, PwC China’s financial service consulting partner, adding that the technology is changing the way consumers assess and purchase products.But security problems are rising. Data security was still seen as a huge problem, with leak of user information, payment fraud (诈骗) and virus attacks appearing as the threebiggest challenges for the rapid growing field. The PwC report said over 60 percent of responders were worried that their personal information was not safe.Chinese government has introduced a series of policies to strengthen strict supervision (监督).In the meantime, people should avoid scanning QR codes from unknown sources and raise awareness of fraudulence.The field still has vast space for growth due to technological advances and the rise of the tech-savvy younger generation, the report said, predicting China’s retail and consumer product industry will post an annual growth rate of 7.5 percent between 2016 and 2020.33. According to the passage, more Chinese people favor mobile payment because .A. it ensures the absolute security of purchasesB. it provides them with various options of itemsC. it guarantees faster delivery than cash paymentD. it helps them purchase products more conveniently34. To keep their personal information safe, consumers are advised .A. to learn more knowledge about virus attacksB. to cut down the chance of using mobile appsC. to check the sources before scanning QR codesD.to increase supervision over mobile payment35. In which section of a newspaper does the passage probably appear?A. Finance.B.Technology.C. Companies.D. Industries.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。
安徽省舒城中学2017-2018学年高二上学期研究性学习材料(五)英语试题(无答案)
舒城中学高二研究性学习材料（五）英语第一部分（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AOn a BA flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged South African lady found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating.“What seems to be the problem, Madam?” Asked the attendant.“Can’t you see?” She said, “You’ve sat me next to a black. I can’t possibly sit next to this dirty disgusting human. Find me another seat!”“Please calm down, Madam,” the attendant replied, “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do—I’ll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.”A few minutes later, the attendant returned with the good news, which she delivered to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin.“Madam, unfortunately, as I guessed, economy is full. I’ve spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.”Before the lady had a chance to answer, the attendant continued.“It’s most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, according to this special situation, the captain felt that it was unbelievable that someone should be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious(讨厌的) person.”Having said that, the attendant turned to the black man sitting next to the lady, and said, “So if you’d like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you.”At that moment, the surrounding passengers stood and gave a long-lasting ovation (欢呼) while the black man walked up to the front of the plane…1. What made the white South African lady angry?A. She had to find the attendant to complain.B. She couldn’t find another seat to sit down.C. The passenger next to her is dirty.D. She sat next to a blac k man.2. Who will fly in first class?A. The attendant.B. The white woman.C. The black man.D. The captain.3. What was the “special situation” that the attendant mentioned in Paragraph 8?A. The woman was obnoxious.B. The black man was obnoxious.C. The white woman can’t sit next to a black man.D. The passengers around can’t stand the woman any longer.4. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that __________.A. people don’t like those who look down on othersB. the attendant aboard is unfriendlyC. the white lady was refused to go on the plane at lastD. many passengers aboard don’t like to sit next to the black manBW hat's a “gift”？If you look it up in the dictionary, you'll see that it's another word for a present. For example, “They brought him some gifts.” However, if you're German, “gift” means something completely different: poison!The word “gift” is an example of a “false friend”—a word that looks the same in two languages, but actually has two different meanings. As English is basically a mixture of German, French and Latin, there are many words that are similar in these languages. For example, the English word “education” is “education” in Spanish. And the English words “word”，“book”，“nine”，“house” are “wort”，“buch”，“neun”，“haus” in German.These similar－looking words can be very helpful when learning other languages—they're our “friends”. However, sometimes they can turn out to be “false friends”. Here are a few examples.In English, someone who is “sensible” thinks before he acts and shows good judgement. For example, “The sensible thing to do would be to consult a lawyer.” However, in Spanish, “sensible”means “sensitive” (showing understanding of other people's problems, needs or feelings)．The English word “coin” refers to a piece of money made of metal. For example, “I had a few coins in my pocket.” But the French word “coin” means “corner”．The Englis h word “library” is a place where you can go to borrow books. For example, “I borrowed six books from the library.” But the Spanish word “libreria” refers to a bookshop where you buy books.The English word “actually” means “in fact”. For example, “Actuall y I'm not Italian; I'm from America.” But the Spanish word “actualmente” means “currently” or “at the moment”．Finally, the English word “embarrassed” means “ashamed”. For example, “They looked a bit embarrassed.” However, the Spanish term “embarazada” means “pregnant”．5．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that English ________．A．is easy to master B．is simpler than SpanishC．has a complex background D．has changed greatly throughout history 6．Which of the following pairs of words are “true friends” according to the author?A．Nine and neun. B．Library and libreria.C．Actually and actualmente. D．Embarrassed and embarazada. 7．The author develops the passage mainly by ______．A．following the order of space B．comparing different ideasC．providing typical examples D．analysing the cause and effectCArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found thatstudents in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with."8..What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?A. Light.B. Ceilings.C. Windows.D. Furniture.9.The passage tells us that ______.A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelingsB. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativityC. children in a dim classroom may improve their gradesD. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed10.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______.A. the problem is not approached step by stepB. the researches so far have faults in themselvesC. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detectD. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns11 .Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point(次要点) C: ConclusionDThe British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals—many of which were built in the nineteenth century —provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe althoughBritain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients. Patients would be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from.12. We can know from the first paragraph that ______________.A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybodyB. people didn’t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set upC. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers13. All the following statements about GPs are true except that they ____________.A. take care of the local people’s healthB. often take part in competitions to see who is the bestC. work under high pressure nowadaysD. have more responsibilities than before14. What does the underlined word “exempt” probably mean?A. sufferingB. differentC. preventedD. free15. The biggest problem for the NHS is ______________.A. many hospitals are too old to be usedB. some services are in the charge of individualsC. more and more patients go to GPs for treatmentD. there is not enough money for further reform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。

2017-2018学年安徽省舒城中学高二暑假检测英语 PDF版
安徽省舒城中学2018年（第6版）暑假作业第一天一、美文晨读It was the first day of class.Two of her new ESL classmates wanted to know where Tara was from.They were both from Iraq.Because Tara looked Iraqi,one of the women asked Tara,in English,if she was from Iraq. Tara replied,“No,I’m not.”Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Iran,or Syria,or Jordan. To each question,Tara responded with a simple ughing,one woman said to the other,“She's not from anywhere!”The two went to their desks,talking to each other in Arabic.The next day,the teacher divided the students into groups of four.The students in each group asked introductory questions of each other.A student in Tara’s group asked her,“Where are you from?”Tara answered that she was from Iraq.The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away.Both of them heard Tara’s response.“Aha!”they both exclaimed.“You ARE from Iraq!”Tara smiled and said yes.Then she apologized to both of them for lying the day before.She explained that she had not wanted to get into an Arabic conversation with them.It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their native language in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Arabic.In her opinion,ESL students should try to speak English only.“I agree,”said Rose.“You’re100percent right,”agreed Jennifer.“Rose and I must stop speaking Arabic to each other.Right, Rose?”Rose nodded,and then said something in Arabic.All three women laughed.Over the next four months,Tara became friendly with both women,although she never spoke a word of Arabic to them during class or break.二、词汇训练1.My funny drawings________（逗乐）the kids.2.I hope this will________（澄清）the problem.3.I found the whole story________（难以置信的）.4.The train was_________（延误）one hour by the accident.5.This time I am willing to_________（忽略）your mistakes,but next time l won't.6.She won two gold medals in the nationwide__________（锦标赛）.7.Yuan Longping is a__________as one of the greatest farming expert in developing new rice.8.Whenever the company launches an advertising c__________,great effects will result from it.9.Parking is f_________here.10.She was s_________for not passing the mid-term examination.三、七选五Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control—hard to find just when you want it most.

The habit of attention becomes part of our life,if we begain early enough.I often hear grown up people say“I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book,although I wished to do so”,and the reason is,the habit was not formed in youth.If I were to live my life over again,I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means,and on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself,and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.二、词汇训练1.Everyone is equal,r__________of his race,skin religion or educational level.2.Teachers are in d_________need in this area.3.We had no way to c___________him of this matter.4.To our a________,he had trouble overcoming all the problems smoothly.5.In Canada,I o________my Master’s degree.6.The well is100meters in d________.7.Owing to lack of enough food,some children were s_________to death.8.When will a__________the tough task is still a puzzle to us.9.His high income c__________for his bills for treating disease.10.I made a learning plan to study hard,in r__________to my teacher’s help and kindness.三、语法填空Lao Tzu was traveling with his followers.They came to a forest__1__hundreds of woodcutters were cutting the trees.__2__whole forest had been cut except for one big tree__3__thousands of branches.It was so big__4__10,000persons could sit in its shade.Lao Tzu told his followers__5__(go)and ask why this tree had not been cut.They went and asked the woodcutters and they said,“This tree is absolutely__6__(use)．You cannot make anything out of it because every branch has so many knots in it—nothing is straight.You cannot use it as fuel because the smoke is dangerous__7__the eyes.his tree is absolutely useless,and that’s__8__we haven’t cut it.”The followers came back and told Lao Tzu.He laughed and said,“Be like this tree.If you are useful you will be cut and you will become furniture in somebody’s house.If you are beautiful you__9__(sell)in the market.Be like this tree, and you will grow big and vast and thousands of people will find shade under__10__.”四、阅读理解AMy son Mark and I were eager to enjoy a day out together,which was a rare occasion when a father and a son can share each other’s life totally without other things.So we settled for a sharing of seaside golf.I write here not as a good golfer in the technical sense,but hopefully as a“good”player who enjoys a round in the group of family or friends,who tries hard to win but who doesn’t mind losing to the better golfer. Sadly,“good golfers”in that sense are becoming harder to find in a competitive world.I’m not sure whether I understand golf myself,or why adults spend so much time,money and energy in trying to knock a small white ball into a tiny hole.However,it is more than a game—it is a lesson in life.People always try hard to win a match.Even worse,some have found it hard to lose gracefully to their close friends,or to their own sons.Sometimes such winners are really losers.I have played golf for more than twenty years,and it was obvious that I,playing quite well by my standards,would win.But on this particular morning，I realized that Mark was grown up and was beating his father for the first time.In fact,I wanted him to win,but I was equally prepared to play on to a“sudden death”if necessary.He hit it,and the ball rolled gently into the hole!A beam of joy lit up his face,and I felt deeply proud in my heart,“That’s my boy.”1.Why did the writer and his son decide to enjoy a round of seaside golf?A.They desired to stay together without interruption.B.They both thought seaside golf was very interesting.C.That was the only time that playing golf was free of charge.D.The writer wanted to teach his son how to play golf.2.According to the passage,playing golf needs the following EXCEPT________.A.timeB.moneyC.energyD.courage3.Which of the following would the writer agree with?A.Playing golf is a waste of time.B.There is no need for a golfer to try hard to win.C.Those who don’t want to win are good golfers.D.It isn’t the most important whether to win or not.4.According to the passage,the writer plays golf mainly to________.A.enjoy a good time with family or friendsB.find a really good golfer in the matchC.prove that Dad plays better than the sonD.see that his son has grown upBWe start forming impressions of people we meet from the moment we see them.A large part of the first impression that you create comes from your body language.Your facial expression,eye contact,hands and posture speak louder than your words.FaceYour face is the most expressive part of your body.If you are feeling anxious,your facial expression may make you look cold,disapproving,or unhappy.You can break this misrepresentation by trying to smile.Your smile is one of the strongest tools you have when you meet new people.It will help you appear warm,friendly and confident.EyesOur eyes give clues to our emotions.Making very little eye contact can convey either shyness or fear.A gaze says that you are friendly and relaxed.HandsYour hands are also very expressive.Open gestures tend to make you appear open and honest.By pointing your finger,or moving your hands closer together,you can draw emphasis to what you are ed properly,hand gestures can make you seem enthusiastic(热情的).Making too many gestures can make you appear uncontrolled.Touching your sleeves or face can make you appear nervous.PostureYour posture makes a big contribution to your body language and conveys your level of self-confidence. By placing your body towards someone,you show attentiveness.By falling away from them or leaning back, you show a lack of interest.When we don’t have confidence and want to hide away,we keep our heads down.In summary,our face,eyes,hands and posture express what is going on inside us.They give clues to others whether the words we are saying are consistent with what we are really ing good body languages can bring up our self-confidence.5.According to the first paragraph,the first impression you usually give others is from your________.A.interesting wordsB.attractive lookC.polite attitudeD.body language6.The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means________.A.a false impressionB.an uncomfortable atmosphereC.a kind of unfriendly behaviorD.the situation that one can’t bear7.Touching your face with your own fingers probably makes you appear__________.A.enthusiasticB.nervousC.uncontrolledD.honest8.Which of the following is a good effect of using your body language?A.Giving clues to show your status within a group.B.Conveying what you are really feeling inside.C.Bringing up your level of self-confidence.D.Giving signals about your interest in something.五、书面表达随着科学技术的不断发展，手机已经在人们的生活中变得越来越普及。

2017-2018学年第七天一、美文晨读The first report was that hundreds in the delta had died. But by the third day, estimates were that 40,000 people could be dead or missing, and perhaps one million might be left homeless. Bodies were floating in rivers that were mixed with ocean water. There was little fresh water and little food. For unknown reasons, the government was refusing most offers of international aid.The cyclone had hit the capital of Myanmar with winds of 120 mph. It was as powerful as Hurricane Katrina, which in 2005 destroyed much of New Orleans. Katrina killed 1,800 people and left about 100,000 people homeless.Meteorologists watched the cyclone closely and warned the Myanmar government about it two days before the cyclone hit the country. But the Myanmar government failed to warn citizens to prepare for the dangerous storm.“We were in our hotel,” said an American tourist who was visiting the capital with his wife. “We could see the weather changing, but the locals didn’t seem to be worried. Wh en the wind smashed the windows in our hotel room, we started worrying. The wind blew the rain and tree branches and other debris into our room. We went into the bathroom and got into the tub. We didn’t feel safe in the bathroom, but where could we go? The wind howled and things banged around forever. We thought we were going to die for sure. When the storm finally passed, we looked outside. We couldn't believe the destruction. Mostly all we could see was just water.” There was no telling when power would be restored or when roads would be usable. The Myanmar government was doing nothing to help matters. “That’s because they prefer that we all die,” said an angry survivor.二、词汇训练1.

She won’t do what I ask her to do—She is very （固执的）.9. I took many beautiful __________（照片）while travelling in Hainan.10.

As a teacher, she works hard. 1 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 2 She treats them with patience and teaches them well.

AJohn and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “The children! Get the children!” John grabbed (抓住) her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cry. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. The told him two more and Mar y grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!”But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued hisown children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.1. The old lady screamed to John to .A. ask him to get away from the fireB. ask for his help to save the childrenC ask him to rescue her from the fireD. ask him to take out valuable things from the fire2. What was Mary’s response to John’s action?A. She disagreed with it.B. She supported itC. She was unconcerned about it.D. She misunderstood it.3. What was the house like before John went back once again?A. It was clean.B. It was burned down.C. It was dangerous.D. It was under repair.4. Which of the following can be concluded from the story?A. Two heads are better than one.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. Helping others means helping ourselves.D. God helps those who help themselves.BBefore birth, babies can tell the difference betweenloud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish theirmother’s voice from that of a female stranger. But whenit comes to embryonic learning (胎教), birds could rulethe roost. As recently reported in The Auk:Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teachtheir young to sing even before they hatch (孵化).New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of entering th e world.This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. Whenthe eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular “feed me!” call.To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food.This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. “As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?” Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”5.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means“”.A.be the worstB.be the bestC.be the as badD.be just as good6.What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on?A.Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks.B.The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.C.The data collected from Queensland’s locals.D.Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.7.Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which .A.can receive quality signalsB.are in need of trainingC.fit the environment betterD.make the loudest callCTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. Thevehicle-named the Transition – has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Fede ral Aviation. Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.C. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’ Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail (a rough path) in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa District. They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas. The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. That's why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the suit. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.12. Y ou would most likely find the article in __________.A. a medical magazineB. a travel journalC. a doctors diaryD. a physics textbook13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Too much eye exposure to small amounts of UV rays may cause total blindness.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm them at all.C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan，the USA and the UK.14. If a place is 1500 meters higher, the amount of light increases __________.A.4 percentB. 12pcrcentC.20 percentD.50 percent15. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B. Measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined. .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。

AJohn and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “The children! Get the children!” John grabbed (抓住) her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cry. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. The told him two more and Mar y grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!”But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued hisown children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.1. The old lady screamed to John to .A. ask him to get away from the fireB. ask for his help to save the childrenC ask him to rescue her from the fireD. ask him to take out valuable things from the fire2. What was Mary’s response to John’s action?A. She disagreed with it.B. She supported itC. She was unconcerned about it.D. She misunderstood it.3. What was the house like before John went back once again?A. It was clean.B. It was burned down.C. It was dangerous.D. It was under repair.4. Which of the following can be concluded from the story?A. Two heads are better than one.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. Helping others means helping ourselves.D. God helps those who help themselves.BBefore birth, babies can tell the difference betweenloud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish theirmother’s voice from that of a female stranger. But whenit comes to embryonic learning (胎教), birds could rulethe roost. As recently reported in The Auk:Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teachtheir young to sing even before they hatch (孵化).New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of entering th e world.This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. Whenthe eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular “feed me!” call.To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most food.This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. “As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need?” Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”5.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means“”.A.be the worstB.be the bestC.be the as badD.be just as good6.What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on?A.Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks.B.The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.C.The data collected from Queensland’s locals.D.Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.7.Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which .A.can receive quality signalsB.are in need of trainingC.fit the environment betterD.make the loudest callCTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. Thevehicle-named the Transition – has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Fede ral Aviation. Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars.C. The designers of the Transition.9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.10. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’ Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays (紫外线) while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper The Telegraph.The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American company Johnson conducted the study together.
