That’s for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect（反映）life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serioustype of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".Dyla n’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is mast famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink（下沉）like a stone. For the times they are a-changin!”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with Dylan ",the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.21. Dylan found folk music attractive because___________•A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper levelC. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music22. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.23. According to the last two paragraphs, ______________.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers24. What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Supportive.2.Books have tremendous power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books.For several years now, Maria Keller, a 14-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute(分发) books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal.Today, at age 14, she has collected over 1.8 million books and hasshipped them to many states and countries around the world. She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse(仓库) where they store and sort books. Maria believes that she can get support from even more people and help kids around the world to become better readers!25. We can know from Paragraph 2 that .A. Some of Maria’s classmates had no textbooks.B. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t have money to buy books.C. Some of Maria’s classmates didn’t like reading at all.D. Some of Maria’s classmates couldn’t afford to go to school.26. According to the passage, which statement about Read Indeed is true?A. It collects and gives out books to poor children.B. It is an organization which sells books to children around the world.C. It raises money to buy books for children.D. It is a campaign which encourages children to read.27. What can we infer from what Maria says in Paragraph 4?A. She lives on selling books.B. Her original dream has been achieved.C. She will give up her mission of distributing books.D. The number of children who have no books has greatly dropped.28. Which word can best describe Maria?A. Optimistic.B. Smart.C. Brave.D. Strong-willed.3.When we know somewhere well，w e say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position"It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of o ur bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight .or not "he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain h as maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of t he skin. “Our brains ‘see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lotsof nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.29. Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C .People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory30. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands.31. We can learn from the article that_____________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body work.D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position32. We can infer from the article that .A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect4.It’s an ordinary morning，like all the others．But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm cl ock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee，light entering your room as the curtains open automatically，and a gentle back massage（按摩）provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now，according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s tempera ture, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens while your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken.After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事)that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heavily on the virtual(虚拟的)world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud，a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information.33. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers．C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced technologies will affect our future lives.34. According to the text, in two decades, .A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation35. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of.二、未分类(共2题)1.Have you ever heard of an insect called the cicada(蝉)? 36 But theyhave an interesting internal clock that tells them when to go aboveground.Every 17 years, billions of the noisy Brood V cicadas(十七年蝉) will swarm(成群出现)to northeastern parts of the US, including New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. 37 But there are usually a lot less of them compared to the Brood V cicadas.38 According to Discovery News, these insects started their lives in 1999. And as their 17-year life cycle comes to an end, they go aboveground when their underground homes get warmer 64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18℃) to be exact.Then the females will lay hundreds of eggs in trees, and after about four to six weeks, the mother and father cicadas will die. 39While they can be kind of annoying, these insects don’t harm humans, but they do make a lot of noise during their time aboveground. 40 However, since there are so many of the 17-year cicadas, the amount of laid eggs can sometimes harm small trees and bushes. But after this summer, these insects will mostly mind their own business until 2033.A. That sound is the male cicadas attracting the female cicadas.B. The cicada insects are common in summer, especially in August and can be found in July as well.C. There are other kinds of cicadas that come around once a year or every 13 years.D. The baby cicadas will go underground, and the 17-year cycle will start over again.E. As a matter of fact, people like to eat them in some cultures.F. Well, a special kind of these insects live underground in the US for most of their lives.G. This is what makes Brood V cicadas so special.2.Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 61 (help) if you say the words aloud. But th is often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have comeup 62 a new idea. They suggest 63 (draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!The researchers did a study 64 (base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 65 the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.When the time 66 (be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that , they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 67 they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 68 (good) job than those who wrote them.So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 69 (draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 70 (research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.三、完型填空(共1题)1.My husband, Rashid, arrived in New York on his own from India.

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, su ccessful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he w as. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to stru ggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that af ternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laug hed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my fat her’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew a s my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be aro und? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and tol d me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although ou r times together became easier over the years, I never felt clo ser to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last se eing another side of my father.

I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved . I’ve slightly changed my mind afterseventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now. Things have changed. For everybody, meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disap pearing.I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places.

2016-2017学年高二(上)期末英语试卷带答案
2016-2017学年高二（上）期末英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）1．（8分）In Sweden，near a forest there is a lake in which the water is very clear．Everything here is quiet and still．On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away，across the field，is an old church built on a hill．It has just stopped raining．The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half melted snow from last winter on the ground．The reason the water is so clear，and everything is so quiet and still，is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead．There are no birds because all the fish and insects，which the birds need for food，have disappeared．Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark，and are sick and dying．Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter．A farmer is working in a field planting something，but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year，the crop will be between 25to 40per cent lower than a few years ago．The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon，it will fall down．All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks．And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway．1．What time of the year do you think it is？A．SpringB．SummerC．AutumnD．Winter2．Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake？A．The weather is terribly cold．B．The lake is quiet．C．The area is polluted．D．They have all been killed．3．What can we know from the second paragraph？A．The soil becomes less and less because the wind is strong．B．The water in the lake is not polluted because it is clear．C．The trees are dying because the soil is dry．D．Few plants can grow because of the pollution．4．What do you think is the best title of the passage？A．A Beautiful Place of Interest．B．A Polluted Place in Sweden．C．A Quiet Place in Sweden．D．A Faraway Mountain Area．5．（8分）Helene An always told her five daughters that there was strength in unity （团结）when they were young．To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person．Then she easily broke it into two pieces．Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family．She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks．This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California．However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money．They moved their family to San Francisco．There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop．Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant．The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young．However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business．They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles．Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked togetherto make the business successful．Daughter Elisabeth explains，"Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace．Without the strength of the family，there is no business．"Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together．Now the Ans'corporation makes more than $20 million each year．Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together．Now they are a big success．5．Helene tied several chopsticks together to show．A．the difficulty of growing upB．the strength of family unityC．the advantage of chopsticksD．the best way of giving a lesson6．We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An

not finish their college education．B．They could not bear to work in the family business．C．They were troubled by disagreement among family members．D．They were influenced by what Helene taught them．8．What is the secret of Ans'big success？A．Family unityB．Hard workingC．IntelligenceD．Having a large family．9．（8分）We've all been blamed wrongly sometimes in our lives．How do we dealwith it？Not with anger，hurt and tears，but in a collected way…◇If you are wrongly blamed，let others know of the true state of things at once．Do it calmly and clearly﹣if you lose your temper，people will stop listening or become defensive．◇If you don't find a sympathetic ear，find a person who will hear you out﹣a teacher，a parent，a friend，or a brother or sister who believes in you．◇If you've been in trouble before，it may be easy for people to doubt you．So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty．◇If what you are blamed for is something unimportant，sometimes it's better to smile it off．◇If you've been blamed for something serious，it's important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully．Just remember：◇Respect your friends'secret if you don't want to be wrongly blamed for making them known．◇Don't blame others without first getting proof of their wrong doing．◇Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is weakness．Admit your mistake quickly．◇If

the responsibility of your wrongdoingD．to find an excuse for your wrongdoing．13．（6分）In many countries there are different special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out．Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth．For example，Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie （喜鹊）can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child．This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries，such as Japan and Vietnam．Other countries，though，have tooth customs about other animals．In Mexico and Spain，for example，it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money．But in Mongolia，it is dogs that take children's teeth away．Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture．It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog，so parents in Mongolia will put their children's fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog．In France and the USA，a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed．It is thought that in the early morning，when the child is still sleeping，the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow．What she will leave is hard to know．It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies；however，in the United States，she may leave money．13．Koreans throw a tooth

the book we have to read may lack the attraction．Here are some tips on avoiding getting bored while reading．Try to step into the world of literature（文学）you are reading．（16）If the wind is blowing，imagine how the leaves move with each movement of air．Make your reading area unlike your sleeping area．If you sleep with the radio on，then shut it off．（17）Make the area you read in an area that feels almost uncomfortable to sleep in．This will keep you from becoming sleepy．（18）If you are reading for a book report，then take breaks from time to time to put what you are reading into some

bring a new tooth for the child．This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries，such as Japan and Vietnam．Other countries，though，have tooth customs about other animals．In Mexico and Spain，for example，it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money．But in Mongolia，it is dogs that take children's teeth away．Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture．It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog，so parents in Mongolia will put their children's fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog．In France and the USA，a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed．It is thought that in the early morning，when the child is still sleeping，the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow．What she will leave is hard to know．It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies；however，in the United States，she may leave money．13．Koreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to B．A．get money B．get a new tooth C．get candies D．feed magpies14．From the last paragraph，we can know that in France and the USA D．A．a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillowB．the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnightC．the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth awayD．no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away15．The passage is mainly about C．A．stories about some animalsB．stories about human teethC．customs about fallen teeth in different countriesD．customs about fallen teeth in western countries．【分析】本文是一篇说明文．本文主要讲述了小孩子掉落的牙怎么处理？有些国家扔在屋顶上，有些国家放在枕头下，不同的国家都有着不同的风俗．【解答】答案：BDC．13：B．细节理解题．根据Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie （喜鹊）can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child．可知，韩国人把掉落的牙齿扔在屋顶上，这样喜鹊就能把牙齿衔走，然后带给孩子一颗新牙，故B选项正确．14：D．推理判断题．根据In France and the USA，a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow 可知A错误，根据It is thought that in the early morning，when the child is still sleeping，the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away可知B错误，根据It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies；however，in the United States，she may leave money可知在法国，牙齿仙女会留下糖果，在美国会留下钱，故C错误．所以，D选项"没人确定牙齿仙女会留下什么"这个答案符合题意．故D选项正确．15：C．主旨大意题．纵观全文以及根据第一段可知，这篇文章主要讲了不同国家对于脱落牙齿处理的不同风俗．故C选项正确．【点评】阅读理解考查对文章的理解能力．学生应先通读全文，看清题干你，仔细阅读选项，在文章找到正确答案．16．（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．Reading is a task that we all do either for enjoyment or education，but sometimes the book we have to read may lack the attraction．Here are some tips on avoiding getting bored while reading．Try to step into the world of literature（文学）you are reading．（16）G If the wind is blowing，imagine how the leaves move with each movement of air．Make your reading area unlike your sleeping area．If you sleep with the radio on，then shut it off．（17）E Make the area you read in an area that feels almost uncomfortable to sleep in．This will keep you from becoming sleepy．（18）D If you are reading for a book report，then take breaks from time to time to put what you are reading into some kind of context（语境）that you can put into the report．Take a break once in a while．（19）C You'd better offer yourself short breaks while reading in case you are too tired，which may make you give up．Find a friend．（20）F Try to read the same book．Even if you read different books，you can tell him or her how good the book is．Also，a friend can encourage you to read．A．Get a note book and make notes．B．Put aside sometime and devote it just to reading．C．Some books are a little too boring for"hours on end"reading．D．Determine what you are supposed to get from the reading material．。

AMost people love to lose themselves in a great book, maybe a classic novel, a modern storybook or a great work of history.

The site is called Audible Inc., and it’s the best place to download audio books. Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of these books have been recorded. They include nearly every classic, as well as most newly-published ones. Most of these are read by voice actors who really bring the text to life.Audible Inc. lets you easily and quickly download a book and load it onto your iPod or other MP3 players, or onto CDs so that you can listen in your car.

But be careful---you may become attracted to audio books for life.1. Who might be most interested in Audible Inc.?A. People who have iPodsB. Book lovers with little free timeC.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled everything.I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was not something she should go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one ofdisbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest o f the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.5.What made Kate so angry one evening?A．She couldn’t find her books.B．She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.D．She heard the author shouting loud.6.The author tidied up the room most probably because _______.A．she was scared by Kate’s angerB．she hated herself for being so messyC．she was asked by Kate to do soD．she wanted to show her care7. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A．By showing differences B．By analyzing causesC．By describing a process D．By following time order8.What might be the best title for the story?A．My Friend Kate B．Learning to Be RoommatesC．How to Be Organized D．Hard Work Pays OffCFriendships can be difficult — because often people aren't as honest and open as they should be. Sometimes, people finally get hurt.Most problems with friendships come up because people are just too selfish to care about the things that their friends need. They care about their own needs much more, which makes it hard for friendships to work. However, being selfish is part of human nature. During a period of friendship people often just take care of themselves and their own needs, not those needs of other people. Even though being selfish is something that all humans are born with, it is something that everyone should be against.The best thing to remember when you are a friend to anyone is that you need to treat your friends the same way that you'd like to be treated. This is wonderful advice for a friendship, because it is really the only way to make sure that you are giving your friends everything you would want to be given in a friendship. Whenever you have a question about how you should treat a friend, it is easy to find an answer simply by asking yourself what you would like your friend to do for you, if he or she was in your shoes.Even if you're always thinking about how you'd like to be treated, and your friends are too, there are problems that come up from time to time in each friendship, and it is important to understand how to deal with these problems so that you can build stronger and healthier friendships. Problems like friends getting boyfriends or girlfriends and not spending enough time with their friends, or even friends finding new friends and leaving old friends behind are problems that will probably come up with one or more of your friendships. It is important to know how to deal with these friend problems so that you can keep your friends and make new ones. No one wants to have a broken friendship.9.This passage mainly talks about ________.A．the importance of friendshipB．the advantages of friendshipC．the disadvantages of friendshipD．the problems of friendship10.According to the writer, problems with friendship may appear when _____.A. one is selfishB. one is honest C．one is open D．one is kind11.According to the passage, the first and most important thing to be other people's friend is ________.A．not to hurt your friends' feelingsB．to give your friends whatever you haveC．to treat your friend as you like to beD．not to think of your own need any more12.What's the purpose of understanding how to deal with friendship problems?A．To have a comfortable life.B．To be treated the way you want.C．To build stronger and healthier friendships.D．To get a boyfriend or girlfriend more quickly.DWhat is the most common cause for people in the UK to ask for leave due to illness? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over 5 billion pounds every year and is very difficult to treat. But now Britain’s National Health Ser vice (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture(针灸). The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many years, but this is the first time it has been officially approved by the NHS.Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections with medicines. However, there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions. In the UK, acupuncture is regarded as an aiding treatment, which means medical procedure hasn’t experienced serious experiments by which scientists prove some treatments work. While many experts have welcomed the policy to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still doubtful about its effectiveness.Research from the US earlier this month found that similar acupuncture using toothpicks (牙签) which do not stick into the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy again.13. According to the passage, which is the best way to treat back pain?A. To stay active.B. To do stretching exercises.C. To be acupunctured.D. To take X-ray treatment or injections.14. Why are some people still doubtful about the effectiveness of acupuncture?A. Because they have other choices.B. Because acupuncture hasn’t been tested by scientists strictly.C. Because using toothpicks is as good as using real needles.D. Because acupuncture costs too much.15.The underlined word “available” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______.A. expensiveB. usefulC. perfectD. amazing第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

However ,the bird knew they were lying. She wanted tofind out what hell was.Whenother birds were learning flying skills,she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like.However,she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as agift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it.The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn ’t find out what hell was like staying in this small cage.However,she couldn ’t escape.Day after day,she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying.She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened thecage,but she was too weak to fly.Lying on the ground,she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.“ What does hell look like?” “ Hell is a smallwell-decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answeredthat question herself.25.

For one thing, crops depend on it.They will suffer if it is too dry or too wet. So men have long hope to find a wayto get control of it. But efforts have up to now produced little result.Though it is true that no one can change the weather, nor can anybody completely control it, we have learned many things about it from experience and through study. We have found that certain signs appear when there is going to be any big changein the weather. If we read the signs correctly,we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be likeon the following day or two is called“ weather forecast” .People in all counties have for many years studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasts. The following are some of their findings.Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clearand near. This is a sign of much water vapor which shows that rain will probablycome.When distant sounds, such as the noise from far-off trains,are heard very clear, then wet and stormy weather is on the way.If you see a rainbow ( 虹 ) during rainy weather, this is a sign that it up and become fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. However, if appears in the morning, then you may take it that rainy weather will come. If thestars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will probably continue.And then many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their will clear a rainbowjoints( 关节 ) or their old wounds ache, which always tells them it is going to rain. Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains, and they have proved to be very useful in forecasting the weather.28.

AFrom: jovangagic56@memail. comTo: kmallory@Subject: Hi!Dear Mr. Mallory,I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh". This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque （美丽的） part of the suburbs.In addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street. This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeableand inspiring), the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciatea reply within the next two weeks.Yours sincerely,Jovan Gagic21. Jovan wrote the email to __________.A. express dissatisfactionB. raise expectationsC. provide informationD. share experiences22. According to Jovan, the guide __________.A. had a good knowledge of the cityB. received punishment for bad behaviorC. organized cultural activitiesD. failed to perform duties23. What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr. Mallory?A. To bring him disappointment.B. To get him into trouble.C. To make him feel sorry.D. To cause him worry.BAlexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car,the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it."Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."24. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?A. She was taking exercise.B. She was feeding wild animals.C. She was driving home.D. She was resting on the road.25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?A. She drove the car to hit the deer.B. She beat the deer with a hammer.C. She pushed the deer away.D. She hit the deer with her feet26. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?A. Energetic.B. Brave.C. Strong.D. Cruel.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Girl Rescued Her Father SuccessfullyB. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer AttackC. A Woman Was Seriously InjuredD. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a WomanCA Good Night's SleepSleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life.While you're sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good night's sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night's sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So you'd better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around.It's also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set internal "body clock". Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it's time to sleep.Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures.Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good night's sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all adopt different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around.The recent research is pretty clear that a good night's sleep in a major component of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.28. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A. What to do with sleep problem.B. Why to form a good habit of sleeping.C. When to start a sound sleep.D. How to get a good night's sleep.29. According to the author, before going to sleep, you'd better __________.A. relieve your pain in the backB. record your biological clockC. free yourself from tensionD. check your blood sugar30. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Not sleeping well.B. Having a good sleep.C. Not eating food.D. Taking a meal.31. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDEverybody needs bloodHave you ever seen buses on the street for donating blood? Medical workers on board collect blood from volunteers. The blood is then stored up and given to people who have lost a large amount of it due to accidents or diseases.Blood is one of the most important substances (物质) supporting our lives. But for now, the only way we can get more of it is through donation. And donated blood has its own problems. First of all, certain blood types are extremely rare. Type O negative blood (O-), for example, only exists in 7 percent of people, according to Sunday Times. There are fewer donors and therefore there isn’t enough of this type of blood fo r everybody who needs it. In addition, donated blood comes from various people, which means that it has to be examined carefully for disease such as hepatitis (肝炎) and HIV to make sure that it’s safe for transfusion.This is why scientists all over the world have been trying to make blood in labs. And now, someone finally succeeded—Marc Turner at the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has produced blood fit for transfusion, reported Forbes.Unlike many other scientists, who have tried to make blood substitutes by mixing up different ingredients together, Turner chose to grow blood directly from human stem cells (干细胞). He developed a special technique to create a chemical environment similar to that in our bone marrow (骨髓). This environment encourages stem cells to develop fully into red blood cell.According to Turner, his version of artificial blood is unlikely to contain disease viruses or produce side effects. And the best part is that what he managed to produce was type O- blood. Not only is it a rare blood type, it’s also a universal type, which means it can be transfused into any patient.The new blood is scheduled for human tests in 2016. However, Turner stressed that the new study should not be taken as a signal for people to stop donating blood because it could be another 20 years before the artificial blood can be manufactured on a large scale. “It is one thing to bake a cake and anoth er thing to bake a cake 100 times the size,” said Turner. “It’s not just a matter of putting in 100 times the ingredients.”32．According to the text, a potential danger of blood transfusion is that_____.A. it is impossible to store up large amounts of bloodB. blood transfusion may lead to some terrible infections（感染）C. it is very hard to find matches for certain blood typesD. blood transfusion often leads to serious side effects33．The study Marc Turner did is different from those of many other scientists in that _____.A. he grew artificial blood using human stem cellsB. he was able to discover the special function of type O- bloodC. he produced the first artificial blood in the worldD. he used special ingredients to produce artificial blood cells34．We can know from the text that__________.A. people with type O- blood can receive blood transfusion from anyoneB. the practice of blood transfusion will end in 20 yearsC. the new blood produced by Turner has been experimented on human beingsD. the artificial blood produced by Turner will be a safe and universal type35. Which of the following words best describes Turner’s attitude towards theapplication of his artificial blood?A. Pessimistic.（悲观的）B. Doubtful.C. Cautious.（谨慎的）D. Uninterested.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，共10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Her father was governor of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas often got seeds (种子) from her father, and then she planted them in South Carolina.Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo plant. She planted some of these in March, but a frost (霜冻) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. Shewrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant.However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo, He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her father's land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant.Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney.

In the laboratory, they mix cells (细胞) from a horse and a pig. They feed the cellsto help them increase in number and grow into a small piece of meat.Right now, the meat that scientists have made is very small and looks gray becausein vitro meat does not need blood to grow. But this is not its only problem. It lakes along time for the meat to grow and scientists do not know how to make a large amount. Italso costs a lot of money to make in vitro meat. Making enough for one meal would cost$250,000.Although producing in vitro meat has many problems, scientists continue to workbecause in vitro meat would have many advantages. Since we have 7,000,000,000 people onthe planet to feed, in vitro meat can help lower the need for the earth's resources (资源).Besides, "Moving the production of meat from farms to laboratories would help cut downthe huge amount of harmful gases produced by farm animals," says reporter Nick Collins.In vitro meat could solve many of the problems of animal meat. But can humans eat thisin vitro meat? Scientists do not know if it even tastes like real meat. Because of foodresearch laws, they are not yet able to taste their meat. But they hope someday people canbuy it in their local market. They say it is real meat and it is just made in a differentway.A lot of people are still worried about in vitro meat. However, it will be years before the meat is ready to sell. Kate Shepard, a writer for Mother Jones magazine, says, "It will require hard testing before it can be fed to humans. It is still such a new idea that we do not know yet what health problems it may have. Right now, there are no rules for in vitro meat."32. What are the scientists trying to find out in their experiment?A. How to get a new kind of animal.B. How to make a new kind of meat.C. How to make animal meat taste better.D. How to greatly increase animals' numbers.33. What's Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The ways to improve the experiment.B. The bad influence the experiment brings.C. The problems scientists face in the experiment.D. The difficulty in collecting money for the experiment.34. What does Nick think of in vitro meat?A. It stops people's cruelty to animals.B. It is environmentally friendly.C. It is against the rules.D. It worries him a lot.35. According to scientists, in vitro meat .A. is safe to eatB. tastes like real meatC. will soon be available on the marketD. may be successful in the future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。
