辽宁省大连市第三中学2013-2014学年下学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷
辽宁省大连市第三中学2013-2014学年下学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷听力略。
AWater is the most common substance(物质) found on the earth, but less than 1% of the earth’s water is suitable for drinking. More than 1,000,000,000 people around the world survive on just over 1 galon of water a day. Probably more than 3,000,000,000 people may suffer from not having enough water by the year 2025. You are considered lucky if you live in a country where you can drink water out of your kitchen tap or bathroom tap. People in some countries have to pay for drinking water at home. So clean water is one of our most valuabe natural resources(资).In fact, peole waste(浪费) so much clean water today. In factories lots of water is wasted. At home many people are not taking showers but still baths, and many are brushing their teeth with the tap turned on. Children are no longer taught how to save wa ter….You can save clean water in many ways. For example, if you keep gold fish, the tank water excellent for graden plants. And when you wash a milk bottle, pour the water on your house plants. Putting a brick or a water into your toilet tank many help use less water, saving many gallons over a long time.Using rainwater is another simple way to save clean water. You can use rainwater to wash your hands after gardening, flush the toilet, and wash your car, your pet, your driveway when they are dirty.For the same reason, people in Malaysia are encourageed to use rainwater. If one has a house with a small garden, he would buy a huge plastic tank to keep rainwater for their daily life.21. We can learn from the passage ______.A. when man can’t live without w aterB. where there is no water resourceC. how important it is to save waterD. why there is less water on the earth22. According to the passage, one of the ways to save water is _______.A. to stop keeping gold fishB. to pay much for drinking waterC. to educate those who waste waterD. to use it in a clever way23. The underlined word “flush” in Paragraph 4 means “_______”.A. pour water over somethingB. clean something with waterC. make somehting wet with waterD. get water out of someghing24. People are ecouraged to use rainwater _______.A. so that clean water can be kept for other usesB. so that is can make our life easierC. because is it free and easy to getD. because there is no claen water left for themBVitamins are stored in foods we eat. The kids are udner great need of vitamins for growth. As they use their energy in playing, they need lots of vitamins.Children usually choose certain foods above the others and often do not eat those with important nutrients(营养). Sothough the food they are eating is nutritious, it may not always provide all the nutrients the child needs.One nutrient can not balance the shortage(缺乏) of another. Foods like grains, vegetables, fruits and meats should be eaten daily, because different foods in the c hild’s diet can balance against taking too much or too little of any nutrient.Kids grow slower in their childhood than when they were babies or when they develop into adults. Energy output is high, with hard paly perids that include plenty of running, jumping, and testing of new physical skills. So they need a lot of vitamins.Here are some important vitamins and their functionsVitamin D in milk helps your bones.Vitamin A in carrots helps you see at night.Vitamin C in oranges helps your body heal if you get a cut.B vitamins in leafy vegetables helps your body make protein(蛋白质).The children, who are suffering from a sickness called cystic fibrosis, lose vitamin A, D and E. These are main body-building vitamins. Therefore, vitamin supplements(添补剂) may be necessary. Blood tests will telll you whether a child needs vitamin supplements.If babies over nine months of age are receiving whole cow’s milk, they’ll need a daily vitamin C supplement till their diet provide enough vitamin C.Vitamin D is added to all milks so babies drinking them need no extra vitamin D.Children are greatly in need of vitamin C. If you are 18 years of age or younger, you should get 115 millgrams of vitamin C per day. Those over 19 should get 120 milligrams per day.25. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. it is necessary for kids to eat different foods for all nutrientsB. it is necessary for one to exercise if he needs more vitaminsC. is it unnecesssay for babies to take a vitamin D supplementD. it is unnecessary for elderly people to take in any vitamins.26. When do kids have to take a vitamin supplement?A. When they are not full of energy.B. When they eat only some foods.C. When they suffer from various illnessesD. When they don’t have normal food.27. What is it expecially necessary for high school students to have daily?A. . MilkB. Orange.C. Carrots.D. Vegetables.28. The proper title for the passage is _______.A. Diets of all nutrientsB. Vitamins for childrenC. Balance of daily dietsD. Functions of vitaminsCFriends play a very important part in everyone’s life. Friendship usually develops during childhood. New friends are made when you progress through school. Those friends that you make as a student can usually last long. Friends influence your development, maturity(成熟) and sense of responsibility (责任). A familiar expression is “You can tell a lot about a person by knowing who his friends are.” Friendship is based on common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends are likely to be athletic (体格健壮的). If you enjoy reading and shopping, most of your friends do the same.Some people call you their friend for the wrong reasons. These people are not really friends. They are superficial(表面的) only “friends” on the outside, not the inside where it counts. Superficial friends only want to be your friends if it is to their advantage. True friends are there whether you are rich or poor. It is easy to have many so-called “friends” if you are rich. By this time you should be able to separate you r friends into the real or the “phoney ”.True friends are most special. They are also difficult to find. You can consider yourself very lucky if you have one true friend. This friend is eager to help you whenever necessary. A true friend is someone you can talk to about any subject or problem. You and your true friend havegood understanding of each other. True friends support you, take your side and build up your confidence.29. The first paragraph tells us______.A. how to make a true friendB. we should make friends in our childhood.C. friends play a very important party in our lifeD. what is friendship based on30. Which of the following is true?A. The friendship developing during your school days will be with you for a long time.B. What you value above anything is the friendship developing during childhood.C. Only through your friends’ influence will you take the responsibility for your task.D. If you have no music in you, none of your friends will be a music lover.31. “So-called” friends refe r to _______.A. fair-weather friendsB. those who want to benefit from youC. the friends who are on the surface onlyD. all of the above32. Which of the following is NOT true?A. True friendship is too difficult to find.B. You should tell true friends from phoneys.C. You can share your joys and sorrows with a true friend.D. A true friend will stand by you whatever happens.DDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose.That’s called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.’’Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fai ls to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.33. We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A. buy lottery tickets if possibleB. make use of half-truthsC. not trust the Yucky CompanyD. be careful about what they are told34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Using half truths is against the law.B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.C. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.D. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.35. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.B. He’s really a big loser!C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.D. It’s against the law to make false statements.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.One of my friends has a large German shepherd ( 牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. Hestayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs becaus e they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”. Seeing Eye dogs generally go to special schools for several years to learn to help blind people.41.

Dogs ─ O ur Faithful CompanionsC. An Introduction to DogsD. Famous Dogs in GermanyCIn Jane Austin’s time, unmarried girls were always closely guarded, and hardly allowed to be alone with a young man; and during the Victorian period (just the period after Jane Austin) exposure(暴露) of the body in particular was thought to be most immoral, Victorian ladies wore dresses reaching down to their feet, long in the sleeve and high at the neck. Since then, ways of dressing as well as times have changed. Girls were no longer guarded, and they can do more or less what they like. And yet among all these astonishing changes, one thing has remained much the same for most people, and that is the same of becoming a mother before being married. If this does happen, there often comes a quick marriage with the responsible man. If this is impossible, the affair maybring considerable shame to the girl’s parents as well as to herself.It is now quite normal for a girl, once past the age of about fifteen, to go out with a boyfriend, and although her parents will probably insist that she come home at a certain time, beyond this they depend on her or look after herself.

The dog’s faithful devotion helped Allen to face the world again… and he went on to set up the charity Hounds for Heroes so other wounded war soldiers could be helped by special assistance dogs, too. Allen, 54, suffered the terrible injuries during the first Gulf War. Allen said, “Lucky changed my life, and I decided that if I could be helped in my situation, there were lots of other ex-servicemen（退役军人）could be helped. I wanted to do something for them to get the full benefits from being matched with one of our assistance dogs.”Before he met Lucky, he felt it was such a really difficult time that he thought of taking his own life because he couldn’t deal with being disabled, especially being in a wheelchair. But his life changed when one day, seven years after his accident, he went with his wife Sandra to the dog-training center where she worked and met Lucky. Lucky took an instant shine to him and picked something up and put it on his hand.He could see Allen was struggling. He got him to smile for the first time since the accident. Allen adopted the dog and Lucky was his constant companion.He could communicate with the dog better than with people, including his family. Lucky helped him emotionally. Incredibly（难以置信地）, he saved Allen’s life when he was knocked from his wheelchair by a car. He put his master into the recovery position, pulled a blanket over him and ran to a hotel, barking for help.“He took me on a best journey,”said Allen, “Lucky had made my life so different.”4. Allen set up Hounds for Heroes to help .A. the churches collect more money to help wounded soldiersB. more people join in the army in order to be real heroes in the warC. more wounded soldiers get some help from the assistance dogsD. Lucky have a comfortable living environment with other dogs5. Why did Allen decide to adopt Lucky when he saw him for the first time?A. Lucky happened to save him from danger.B. He thought Lucky understood him and his situations.C. His wife then decided to lead Lucky out of the training center.D. His children warned him that they wouldn’t look after him.6. According to the passage, what kind of dog is Lucky?A. He is easy to play with all the time.B. He is amusing in any circumstances.C. He is smart, considerate and devoted.D. He is too brave to look after the disabled.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Allen Parton—A lucky dogB. A Man and His DogC. Lucky to SurviveD. Easy to Get Along WithCResearch has shown that music has an important effect on one’s body and mind. In fact, there is a growing field of health care known as music therapy（疗法）, which uses music to treat diseases. Even hospitals are beginning to use music therapy. Thisis not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways.Research has shown that quick music can make a person feel more alert, while slow music can produce a calm, deep thinking state. Also, research has found that music can change brainwave activity levels. This can help the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you’ve stopped listening.Breathing and heart rate（心律）can also be influenced by music. This can mean slower breathing, and slower heart rate. This is why music and music therapy can help reduce the damaging effects of long-term stress, greatly promoting not only relaxation, but health.Music can also be used to bring about a more positive state of mind by helping to keep worries away. Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure（血压）and reducing the risk of strokes（中风）. It is no surprise that so many people are considering music as an important tool to help the body become or stay healthy.8. What can we know about music therapy?A. It is a kind of music.B. It is a survey about music.C. It is a kind of musical instrument.D. It is the use of music method to treat diseases.9. According to the second paragraph, we can infer that .A. quick music has a bad effect on one’s healthB. slow music can help one think more slowlyC. quick music and slow music have different effectsD. music will have no benefit after one stops listening10. Music can help with stress relief, because .A. it is used by many hospitalsB. it can help change brainwavesC. it does harm to a state of mind and bodyD. it does good to breathing and heart rate11. According to the passage, music can be good for all the following EXCEPT .A. nervousnessB. educationC. strokesD. high blood pressureDSquare dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby people. The local court even served a summons（传票）related to a certain Ms. Wang.The news soon caused heated discussion across China. Some believe that the unpleasant thing will involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination（歧视）against Chinese in the United States.The United States is a society which has a range of many people and things. And in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated（容忍）and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York’s Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy quietness. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise down. People from different nations are often supposed to reach agreements, respecting and tolerating each other.If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.12. The writer mentions the incident in Paragraph 1 to .A. introduce the topicB. ask the questionC. give examplesD. support the local policeman13. What will the senior Chinese ladies probably do after the incident?A. Back to China.B. Keep the noise lower.C. Require America to change its law.D. Fight for their freedom.14. What’s the writer’s attitude to square dancing?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Tolerant.15. Where does the passage probably come from?A. A story book.B. A fantasy novel.C. A newspaper.D. A science report.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(共15小题, 每小题2分, 满分30分)A―Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)？‖Jessica asked. ―A skeleton in the closet?‖ her mother paused thoughtfully, Well, it‘s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad‘s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‗a skeleton in his family‘s closet‘. He really wouldn‘t want any neighbor to know about it.‖―Why pick on my family?‖Jessica‘s father said with anger. ―Your family history isn‘t so good, you know. Wasn‘t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?‖―Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.‖―Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,‖Jessica cut in before things grew worse.After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica‘s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica‘s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.64. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.65. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D.

Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover's HelperDAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. Fora full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film ―Stars‖!68. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A crowd-scene actorD. A workman for scene setting69. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene.C. The low temperature.D. The film being shown.70.

The next scene would be prepared.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。

AYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds （池塘） in the woods near their houses in Warwick, Rhode Island. In summer they caught frogs and fish. When winter arrived they couldn’t wait to go skating. Time passed, and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood.One day a thirteen-year-old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called apartments. So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures to stop the development. A group of citizens met and decided to support him.At the meeting of the town planning organization，the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly. But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder. He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens. He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children.A few days later，the developer stopped his plan.Nine years later, when that teen was a senior in college, he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build apartments. Now twenty-two years old, he was studying wetlands ecology. He again appeared before the town planning organization. This time as an expert, he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge ofwetlands ecology to help to improve the development. Finally some apartments were built, but less than half the number the developer wanted. The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a piece of natural land, and are still there today.1. The kids liked to ___________ at the local ponds in winter.A. make a snowmanB. throw snowballsC. go skatingD. go skiing2. The boy thought that the town officials should be ___________ for the citizens.A. responsibleB. modestC. anxiousD. thankful3. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The apartments were built as the developer had planned.B. The grown-up boy helped to protect the wetlands as an expert.C. The developer stopped the boy’s plan at the meeting years ago.D. The ponds were filled in and some apartments were built on them.4. The underlined word “restrictions”in the last paragraph probablymeans________.A. rulesB. plansC. advantagesD. limitationsBA desert is a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves.The size and location of the world's deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Mauritania is planting a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of oil on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.5．In this passage, the underl ined word “needles” refers to ________.A．small, thin pieces of steelB．long, thin pieces of branchesC．thin, hard, pointed leafD．small, thin pieces of sticks6．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The greatest desert makers are human beings.B．There aren't any living things in the deserts.C．Deserts have been changing quickly.D．The size of the deserts is always growing.7．People in some countries are fighting a battle against ________.A．the growth of desertsB．desert climateC．natural changesD．the disappearance of desert8．What does the author want to tell us?A．Deserts are lands of hardness, silence and space.B．The deserts of the world are changing from time to time.C．Man is to take measures to control the growth of deserts.D．Deserts have grown at a fast pace in the past 10 years.CThroughout July 1945, the Japanese mainland, from Tokyo on Honshu northward to the coast of Hokkaido, were bombed as if an invasion were about to take place. In fact, something far more threatening was at hand, as the Americans were telling Stalin at Potsdam.（伯茨坦）In 1939 physicists in the United States had learned of experiments in Germany showing the possibility of atomic power and understood the coming damage of an atomic bomb. On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt of the danger of Nazi Germany’s advances in development of the atomic bomb. Eventually, the U.S. Office of Scientific Research Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the War Department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four years of research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogordo, New Mexico, producing an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U.S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japanin a way less costly of U.S. lives than an ordinary invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan’s unsatisfactory reply to the Allies’ Potsdam Declaration decided the matter.On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb, carried from Tinian Island in the Mariana in a specially equipped B-29 was dropped on Hiroshima, at the southern end of Honshu. The combined heat and explosion destroyed ev erything in the explosion’s immediate neighbourhood , produced fires that burned out almost 4.4 square miles completely, and killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people, in addition to injuring more than 70,000 others. A second bomb dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killed between 35,000 and 40,000 people, injured a like number and ruined 1.8 square miles.9. What is the main idea of the passage?A．An atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.B．After research and development efforts, an atomic bomb was born.C．An invasion was about to take place with the use of the atomic bomb.D．The birth and use of the atomic bomb ended the Second World War.10. Albert Einstein warned Roosevelt of _________.A. Nazi Germany’ success in making an atomic bombB. the possibility of atomic power from Nazi GermanyC. Japan’s unsatisfactory reply to the Allies’ Potsdam DeclarationD. destruction of everything from the explosion of the atomic bomb11.What made the U.S. decide to drop the atomic bombs over Japan?A. Truman’s becoming the president of the United States.B. The great destruction power of the atomic bomb.C. Reducing the cost of its lives.D. Not being content with Japan’s re ply.12. How many people were killed by the two bombs dropped in Japan?A. Between 105,000 and 120,000 people.B. Between 35,000 and 40,000 people.C. Between 70,000 and 80,000 people.D. Between 140,000 and 150,000 people.DA safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa.

Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews, first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina. With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同)with Dream Works' Nashville label.Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明〕gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."56. What's the meaning of the underlined word “launched" in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed.B. Sent.C. Started.D. Set.57.

Jessica Andrews' Success as a SingerBWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace． We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you aree the best at what you do．Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．60．What is the passage mainly about?A．The influence of confidence on one's life．B．The difference of people's confidence．．C．The importance of confidence to successD．The judgment on one's confidence．61．Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．A．who dream to be recognized expertsB．who expect to give guidance to othersC．who want to ask the boss for a raiseD．who think their goals are hard to reach62．What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．outgoing B．attractive C．important D．energetic 63．What message does the author want to convey〔传递〕 in the last paragraph?A．To overlook one's disadvantages．B．To make full use of one's advantages．C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities．COne year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!" JackWhen I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced thatSanta would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.LucyDoes everyone r emember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad because he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.Lydia64. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Belief in SantaB. The Excitement on ChristmasC. Christmas GiftsD. Christmas Celebration65. The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.A. his parents were too carelessB. his parents thought he had watched too much TVC. Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behaviorD. Santa gave the TV to another child as a present66. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?A. Santa would not know where the tree was.B. Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.C. Her big brother might laugh at her.D. Santa might think she was a "bad" child.DMUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award.

The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum dog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest.

"I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food.""Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children chosen from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire.But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of themovie—is always all around.67.

How Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.___16___Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.___17___7Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.____18____Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.____19____Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.___20___Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind....G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.参考答案：16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. D试题分析：懒惰的人不可能做成什么事情，但是思维的一些变化可以让你消灭懒惰。

AThe Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts has found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the country since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation.Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether ac cent changes would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there i s nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble(贵族的) way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had changed little by little. “Her accent sounds l ess noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year. ”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told the Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’. ”The results were published in the Journal of Phonetics(语音学).1. Why did Jonathan Harrington choose the Queen’s broadcast for the study?A. She has been Queen for many years.B. She has a less upper-class accent now.C. Her speeches are familiar to many people.D. Her speeches have been recorded for 50 years.2. The Q ueen began to pronounce “lost” about _______ ago.A. 20 yearsB. 40 yearsC. 60 yearsD. 80 years3. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?A.bleckB. hetC. homeD. thet4. The passage is probably taken from a magazine on _______.A. speech soundsB. Christmas customsC. TV playsD. world changesBIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a lot.”Profes sor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even befor e the driver leaves the house.“What’s unique(独特的) is that we use a lot of data and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system has many functions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the whole road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes ClearPath will be used all over the world once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.5. Drivers in Los Angeles are mentioned in order to__________.A. raise the topicB. be praisedC. answer some questionsD. be taken care of6. What is unique about ClearPath?A. It can use a lot of information all over the world.B. It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.7. The underlined part “hits the road” in Paragraph 4 probably means __________.A. have an accidentB. start on a journeyC. turn left or rightD. collect road data8. What’s Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Disappointed.B. Serious.C. Optimistic.D. Worried.CSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should know that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry countries like Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environmental-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; an d you don’t have to worry about resources(资源) and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or otheropen spaces. There is no special requirement f or you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.9. W hich of the following is an environmental-friendly sport?A. Golf.B. Motor racing.C. Power walking.D. Indoor swimming.10. From the passage we can infer that __________.A. you can protect the environment by buying used productsB. the way you do sports can make a big differ ence to the environmentC. 20 minutes of power walking will do good to your heart and bonesD. “Green gyms” will replace traditional health clubs and modern sports centers11. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show us the function of major sports.B. To encourage us to go in for green sports.C. To discuss the major influence of popular sports.D. To introduce the types of environmental-friendly sports.DCONCORD, N.H.—A flood of rain forced hundreds of people to leave their homes in parts of New England on Sunday, as water flowed over dams and washed out roads.The governors of New Hampshire and Massachusetts said, “It’s a very serious situation，” adding that forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of rain by the end of the storm in parts of so uthern New Hampshire. “It continues to change and is getting worse.”In some towns, police and firefighters used boats to get people out of their homes and cars after hundreds of roads were damaged. Some towns shut down, not letting anyone pass except emergency vehicles.A dam in Milton, N.H., was in danger of failing, which could send a 10-foot wall of water downstream. People downstream were being evacuated (转移) from the town.In Massachusetts, cars were pulled from flooded streets in downtown Peabody, and about 300 people were evacuated from an apartment complex for seniors. Businesses put sandbags at their doors, trying to prevent damage from water.Flooding in New Hampshire in October killed seven people, carried off homes and washedaway miles of roads down to bedrock.In Maine, flooding was reported on 60 roads in the southern part of the state, said governor’s spokeswoman Crystal Canney. More than 50 homes in Sanford and several in Kennebunk also were evacuated, state officials said.12.
