Glancing back from the front of t he queue, I found my best friend Terry, who was treating me like I didn’t exist during the past two weeks, 36 all my calls and messages.With all the students seated in the exam room, Mr. Reed, our physics teacher, talked to the class and announced the exam. I hated physics and felt it hard to 37 my paper. I was just looking up when a 38 caught my eye. I could hardly believe it! Terry had her phone on her left knee and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good 39 ? I almost put my hand up to tell the teacher, but what would everyone else think of her? However, it wasn’t 40 ! So I nodded to Mr. Reed. He walked 41 down the row of tables. Terry was busy with her phone so that she didn’t even find Mr. Reed had42 her. She looked up from her phone with a frightened expression. Before she had a chance to explain, Mr. Reed took her 43 and told her to leave the room. Terry started crying as she walked to the door, looking back over her shoulder at me, sad and ashamed.After the exam, I received a text message from Terry, saying “I’m really44 that I’ve been avoiding you lately but it’s been the hardest two weeks of my life. My dad has a heart attack and he’s been in hospital. He has a(n) 45 today and I am really worried. I know it is stupid, but I was trying to send a text message to my mum to see how it was going. Then Mr. Reed caught me and thought I was 46 . I wish I’d told you what’s been happening. I know I shouldn’t 47 who my friends are.

To keep it looking good, we occasionally take it 48 a wash. If we abuse the car, it won’t take us where we want to go. 49 it is with our body and soul. The body is just like a vehicle to do the soul’s b uilding. 50 the body is full of energy, it can help open up the soul. Some deeper life issues will become easy for us. Just 51 we learn to maintain a car, we ought to learn how to maintain the body. There must be 52 balance between enjoying ourselves and working. For one thing, we don’t need to be a slave. 53 can sometimes refresh the body so that our soul can accomplish more. For 54 , we have to be in control. Enjoy the pleasure, 55 don’t be addicted to it. Only when our body is at full power can the “will-p ower” go further.Part III Reading Comprehension (10marks)Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way．¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families withyoung children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today．She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger．It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all" concerned about it．It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity．The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices．“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey．¨The findings exposes a generational shift （转移）in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella．“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair．"The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric （39 percent of families）, media-moderate （45%）and media-light （16%）．Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier．And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied．Slightly fewer turn to books （79%）and TV（78%）．The survey didn't look at how media affects children．That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times．The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat．In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats （格式）such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience．Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy （素养）," it says．The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones" and TV should be turned off during dinner．At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainmentmedia for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content．It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play．“ Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says．An article on screen time by t．he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked to over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep , behavioral problems , weak school performance , violence and less time for active and creative play．56.Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like ．A．computers B．smart phonesC．video games D．tablets PCs57.Most parents don't worry about kid's media use because ．A．they can limit the screen time B．they want their children happyC．they also grew up with technology D.they can teach their children themselves58.From the data of the survey, we learn ．A．children in media-centric families are smarter than othersB．children in media-light families spend one hour watching TVC．more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problemD．media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use59 To make parenting easier, most parents probably ．A．try to persuade their children to read booksB．ask their children questions while watching TVC．allow their children watching TV or using computersD．turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied60 Which of the following is a suggestion by the researchers?A．Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited．B．Entertainment media use should be high-quality content．C．Schools should provide more time for active and creative play．D．Home media use should provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors．Part IV Writing (10marks)Section A (10 marks)There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comfort of life, one becomes happy while the other becomes unhappy. This difference comes from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things, the pleasant parts of a conversation, the well prepared dishes, for example. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. So, they’re always dissatisfied. They cannot feel the pleasure of society, they hurt other people, and they make themselves unpopular everywhere. Their intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation, but it gradually grows into a bad habit as time goes on.Though being unhappy is most probably an act of imagination, it has serious results in life, for it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. The unhappy ones hurt many people; nobody will love them, and nobody will treat them with basic politeness and respect. When they need some advantages in social position or fortune, no one will wish them success.In order to help the unhappy ones, it is strongly suggested that they should change their bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and the others. If they do it, it will be good for both themselves and the others, and bright life will definitely smile at them some day.湘阴一中英语周考试卷（六）时量：45 分钟总分：65 分单项选择：(15’)完形填空一：(18’)完形填空二：(12’)48. ________ 49. ________ 50. ________ 51. ________ 52. ________ 53. ________ 54. ________ 55. ________阅读理解：(10’)56---60:___________________阅读填空(10’)71._____________ 72.______________73______________ 74.____________75.__________ 76.__________77.__________ 78.____________79.____________ 80._____________湘阴一中英语周考试卷（六）单项选择：(15’)完形填空一：(18’)完形填空二：(12’)48. for 49.

高三英语上学期第一次周考试题

选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pickup the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 36 Here are some tips to guide you throughan average phone conversation in English.1. GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contactfor a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business. 372. Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However,if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversationby saying “So what can I do for you?”3. Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”．4. Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate. 40 Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speakingto the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginningof a sen tence can indicate you’re ready to end the conversation.A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.B. Practice English through phone calls.C. Never fear, though!D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.二．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I had seen television movie Kung Fu 48 decided right away that peace of mind and a shaved head were 49 I had always wanted. My parents supported my interest, buying all sorts of books about Kung Fu and Chinese art for me. 50 even agreed I went to a Kung Fu school, 51 they did not let me shave my head. I practiced several hours a day, trying to overcome pain 52 walking to school barefoot in the snow. I enjoyed all of this so 53 that my interest continued through high school, and spread to wanting to learn Chinese painting and then 54 language itself.I went to Yale and majored in Chinese literature. By the time I finished college,I was fluent in Mandarin (普通话). Strangely, I had no desire to go to China; and55 , I have never liked traveling much. I did need a job, though, so I applied to and was accepted by the Yale-China association to teach English in Changsha from August 1982 to July 1984.PART Ⅲ READI NG COMPREHENTION (30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)I have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance.Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. Because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.56. What is Mark Bauerlein’s attitude to texting?A.

Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “ Today we're looking at science fi ction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car. ”The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “ A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. The systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,” Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.61. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA.B. Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars.C. Google’s self-dr iving cars have covered a long distance.D. Driverless cars are pointing us a faraway future.62. We learn that Governor of California Jerry Brown_________.A. helped design self-driving cars.B. improved the self-driving car systems.C. considers self-driving cars science fiction.D. supports self-driving cars on roads.63. What is the role of the systems mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. They can take the place of drivers now.B. They can help people drive more safely.C. They can make cars run without fuel.D. They can help cars run much faster.64. According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?A. They are now too expensive for consumers.B. Their technical problems remain to be solved.C. They are not allowed to run on the road.D. They are more dangerous for people on the street.65. What's the best title of the passage?A. The benefits of the self-driving cars.B. The biggest challenge of the self-driving cars.C. Self-driving cars-science fiction future is near.D. Safer or more dangerous-self-driving cars.(C)Hungry For a WinA victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or contest. However, that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov 21, is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of the 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film, last year’s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However, that never seems to happen. She has nightmares, which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again. The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta. Since Katniss brings hope to Panem thro ugh her courage, President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fires of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to b e,” Lawrence told Reuters.Fast-paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the success thatthe first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying positive reviews. Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins. The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year for her 2012 movieSilver Linings Playbook, has helped Catching Fire find success, Forbes pointed out.The 23-year-old actress does well playing a young lady who hates what she was forcedto do to stay alive yet is determined not to gi ve up.“Lawrence’s down-to-earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a rising fanbase and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers, the sequel(续集) was always going to be big,” Forbes noted.66.

Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Cheating on exams is popular in colleges and statistics show that it has risen dramatically during the past score years. Students don’t feel ashamed to cheat on exams. Most of them don’t care about cheating on exams.Cheating on exams takes shape in various ways. Some students scribbled notes on small pieces of paper on which they had prepared for the exam, some took out their textbooks or reference books to copy, and still some adopted mobile phones as a way to cheat on exams. For instance, at the University of Nevada, students photographed test questions with their cell phone cameras, then sent them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text message. However, downloading other people’s writing on the Internet for plagiarism(剽窃) was found the easiest way. Mr. Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that pressure to succeed sometimes clouded everything and made students do things that they shouldn’t do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and land jobs.Whatever the reasons for cheating are, college officials say we must stop it. First, people will not be interested in studying any more with cheating. Second, they think studying isn’t meaningful. Third, others may be influenced negatively by people cheating on exams. Thus, we must ban cheating on exams. We should reduce opportunity of cheating on exams.Most Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of American character. For that reason, there are numerous watchdog committees at all levels of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at uncovering such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat.Title: Cheating on examsI. 71. __________◇being popular in colleges◇arising dramatically◇students 72. __________◇students not caring about itII.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenager daughter Holly practice her driving.At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.”After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ra n outside. My son shouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, “Here is a chance to show H olly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.”The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van (搬运车). In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the story. Her eyes moistened(湿润) and she said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.I remember how sad Holly was the night and how I comforted her. One day, whenHolly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand timesmore than any piece of property. I repaired the van, but the dent (凹痕) in my truckis still there today. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.81. Why did the father permit his daughter to drive his truck?(No more than 5 words) (2 marks)82.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.(A)LATEST BOOKSBelow you’ll find some latest published books that have been added to the library’s collection in the past 45 days.She Is Not InvisibleSergwick’s “She Is Not Invisible” is partly a thriller, partly a philosophical reflection on coincidence, but mostly, it’s the story of Laureth: a blind British teenager whose father, a famous author, has gone missing in America. She sets out to find him, taking her seven-year-old brother as a guide. She is not sure this is strictly legal, so she pretends not to be blind as they make their way through Heathrow airport and the streets of New York City.Six Bad Poets“Six Bad Poets” is a farce-in-verse(闹剧式诗句) by Christopher Reid, following the brave acts and misfortunes of a group of poets –three men and three women, whose destinies(命运) are more closely connected than they themselves can know, in their attempts to deal with the risks of London literary society.Britain Against NapoleonThis book describes how the British state successfully organized itself to overcome Napoleon.For more than twenty years after 1793, the French army was supreme(最优的) in continental Europe, and the British population lived in fear of French invasion(人侵). How did Britain survive and win a generation-long war against a country which at its peak commanded many times Britain’s own resources and manpower?In “Britain Against Napoleon”, Roger K night looks beyond the familiar bravery of the army and navy to the politicians and civil servants, and examines how they made it possible to continue the war.The Beau MondeHannah Greig’s “The Beau Monde” tells the story of the world’s first fashion-obsessed(痴迷于时尚的) society in eighteenth-century London and takes us on a tour from court and Parliament (约会) to Georgian London’s parks, pleasure grounds and private homes, meeting a rich and colorful cast of contemporary characters along the way. It reveals the secrets of how membership of the new elite(精英) was won, maintained and sometimes lost. This book also shows how being fashionable was the key to power in a new social order.56. According to the passage, Laureth______A. is a famous writerB. is a blind young girlC. has been lost in New YorkD. has raised her little brother by herself57. Who writes a book about six poets?A.

The main purpose of passage is to______.A. compare the booksB. inform readers of new booksC. advocate diverse readingD. persuade people to read more(B)When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers(同龄人). However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.61. What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?A. Surprised.B. Interested.C. Confident.D. Negative.62. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.A. express his views on homeschooling.B. explain what homeschooling is.C. share his ways of teaching his children.D. promote homeschooling.63. What do we know about homeschooling children?A. They don’t interact with their peers often.B. They have more spare time to play.C. They are restricted to certain activities.D. They can’t gain enough knowledge.64. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?A. They will become braver.B. They can be more popular.C. They can be better at socializing.D. They can study better.65. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of importance.B. By following the order of timeC. By making comparison.D. By presenting facts.(C)Feeling lonely? New research suggests you might want to find out that answer. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant condition, it can also harm the body’s immune system.The new study shows that people who are lonely experience more reactivation(重新激活) of hidden viruses in their systems than the well-connected ones. Lonely people also are more likely than others to produce inflammatory compounds(炎性化合物) in response to stress, which may cause heart disease a nd other chronic disorders. “Both, in different ways, indicate that the immune system is out of whack,” said study researcher Lisa Jaremka.Jaremka and her colleagues studied 200 female breast cancer survivors and 134 overweight, middle-aged adults with no major health problems.In the first study, the researchers analyzed the blood of the breast cancer survivors for antibodies against viruses. These common viruses can remain inactive and symptomless inside the body. Higher antibody levels indicate higher levels of activated viruses. The results showed that the lonelier the participant, the higher the levels of virus antibodies in the blood. Jaremka said, “The immune system is unable at that time, for whatever reason, in this case loneliness perhaps, to keep that virus under control.In the second study, the researchers measured cytokines(炎性因子) in 144 of the breast cancer survivors as well as the healthy thought overweight middle-aged adults. The participants gave a blood sample and then experienced the stress of having to give a speech and do mental math in front of people in white lab coats.After the stressful speech, the lonelier the person is, the higher the levels of cytokine interleuking-6 are. This cytokine is important for healing in the short term, because it promotes inflammation. However, when cytokines react too readily, inflammation can be harmful. Chronic inflammation has been linked to many diseases. People who are lonely also tend to react more strongly to negative events in their lives. If lonely people experience daily life as more stressful, it may cause chronic stress, which in turn disrupts the immune system.The study indicates that those who feel close to friends and family can know that their health is likely getting benefits from those relationships. People who feel socially connected are experiencing positive outcomes.66. The Underlined phrases “is out of whack” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by_____.A. becomes healthyB. goes wrongC. starts to respondD. lose connection67. What do the high levels of antibodies indicate?A. The immune system is failing to control the viruses.B. The immune system has managed to kill the viruses.C. The person has been badly ill.D. The immune system has been damaged.68. Why should frequent reaction of cytokines be avoided?A. Because it would make people more stressed.B. Because it can destroy the immune system completely.C. Because it may cause harmful chronic inflammation.D. Because it would make breast cancer survivors overweight.69. According to the passage, lonely people are more likely to _____.A. have had more negative experiencesB. become more sensitive to negative events.C. feel more pressure from chronic diseases.D. react strongly to positive daily life.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Loneliness has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Lonely people tend to have negative thoughts.C. Loneliness does harm to health both mentally and physically.D. People whose immune system is weak tend to get lonely.PART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Most people with problems see their problem as limitations to their success. The moment you begin to see your problems as stumbling blocks (绊脚石), you start to have more problems. But the way you see your problems determines how they affect you. If you see your problems as the walls that cannot be broken down, then problems will affect you more than they are supposed to. But if you see your problems as opportunities, then you will be able to solve them and get the message that the problems are passing across to you.The greatest men always remain calm when they face problems. When they face problems, they remain positive. Staying positive is one of the keys to solving your problems. When used well it could help get you out of difficulty. When you remain positive, you put yourself in the right position to solve your problems effectively.Problems act as a good teacher and give you something new to learn, and with every lesson comes a solution. You must learn from the problem itself and look for the way forward instead of complaining, worrying and giving excuses. Every problem is just like an examination. Once you solve the problem, you get to the next level.Not everybody is fit to share your problems with you, and not everybody is fitto know your problems. But you should have someone you can speak to and someone who is always willing to listen to you. You must be able to be accountable to this person and the person must be someone that is better and know much more than you. This person would be able to give you meaningful advice, monitor your progress and also support you.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Nong Luhuan had a wild dream when he was little: He wanted to become a cartoonist and publish books of his own. Now, the 22-year-old art design major at Sichuan Fine Art Institute has achieved his dream. His micro blog cartoon has more than 260,000 followers and he will publish his first book soon.Nong’s micro blog cartoon first drew wide attention in late 2012. H e draws stories of real-life people striving to (努力) achieve their life goals. Though each story consists of only several pictures, it takes Nong a lot of time and effort to finish them. “ I want my work to be recognizable. I want people to think of me as a cartoonist who makes cheerful works,” Nong says. Therefore he digs deep into each person’s story. Before drawing, he spends a whole day researching the person’s background and another three days on interviews. “Micro blog cartoons are interesting not bec ause of the drawings. We attract viewers with the content,” Nong says. “Besides, viewers only spend one or two minutes on each micro blog post. If my work can cause reflection, then it is meaningful.”On the way to success, Nong had his struggles. He even thought about giving updrawing in 2011. But when he read the micro blog cartoons of Chen Anni, a well-known female cartoonist of Nong’s age, he found new courage. “She is not even a fine art student and she is pursuing (追求) her dream of drawing cartoons. Why should I give up?” Nong says. After that, Nong worked even harder, gradually becoming popular and receiving positive feedback.Many fans have sent Nong private messages, telling him that his work has encouraged them to pursue their life goals and that if they succeed they will share their stories with him. “I’m glad that I have conveyed a positive attitude through my work. My readers are motivated through it and are themselves becoming a source of motivation for others,” he says.81.What does Nong draw in his micro blog cartoons?

Quite often in rural areas，kids of all __37__ were taught in the same one--room schoolhouse.Decades later in the 1980s，home-schooling made a comeback when religiously conservative parents convinced states to __38__ and give full credit for the teaching of children at home. The home--schooling __39__ has since broadened to include parents of all faiths－or no faith at all.

Older kids help younger ones，as they __44__ did in those one--room schoolhouse.

And they argue that pullingkids out of school may rob them of social skills.Home-schooling parents doubt the idea that their children are __47__ separated and bookish. “They are，” the parents say，“simply hard workers who go to church，play sports，and shop at malls right alongside their friends who go to school.”36．A. owned B．protected C．hired D．satisfied37．A. races B．ages C．characters D．levels38．A. stop B．determine C．forbid D．approve39．A. movement B．plot C．summary D．license40．A. affected B．estimated C．intended D．encouraged 41．A. buy B．collect C．appoint D．prepare42．A. moral B．argument C．consequence D．disadvantage 43．A. unusual B．unbearable C．unrealistic D．unromantic 44．A. never B．often C．once D．seldom45．A. moving on B．passing on C．calling on D．living on 46．A. ambition B．energy C．pressure D．experience 47．A. academically B．artistically C．socially D．technologically完形填空2：(1.5*8=12’)Mrs. Brown had just finished cooking when she heard a knock at the door.

Three Russian astronauts will join three colleagues from other countries as they are locked up together for a year and a half on a simulated(模仿的) mission to Mars. Themission is called Mars-500.The Mars-500 mission at Moscow's Institute of Biomedical Problems will test the psychological and physical effects of long--term isolation on humans.The group's leader，engineer Sytev，looks at the three--square--meter place that will be his personal habitation. “This phone will work for only 11 days. When we are near the Earth，it will be switched off，” said Sytev. Sytev is a newly--wed. He says the most difficult thing will be to be separated from his wife and the persons around him. He finds it difficult to leave some of his habits behind—all their activities will be directed towards a certain goal and that he won't see sunsets，sunrises，won't feel rain for 18 months.After 250 days，three of the astronauts will simulate landing on Mars. The other three will wait for them—in the mock spacecraft—for a month. All communication with Earth will be via e-mail and will have as much as a 40-minute delay，like on a real Mars mission.Suvorov is a physician. He and other scientists will monitor the astronauts. “This experiment is unique because the six persons will be isolated for a long period of time，” noted Suvorov.“They will have to make decisions on their own and only the n report to the Earth，and the Earth will tell them whether they did the right thing or not.” He says the experiment will pave the way for a real Mars journey later this century. “We are going to determine how much food and other products of daily use are needed，and how people of different cultures，of different training can find common language and work on performing their tasks，” added Suvorov.Mars-500 is the third in a series of flight simulations. The earlier ones were shorter. The current experiment is set to end in November 2011.56．The underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 4 means ________.A．simulated B．advanced C．small D．comfortable 57．What do we learn about the Mars-500 mission according to the text?A．The base is located in New York，America.B．It is a simulation program designed for the future space expedition.C．All astronauts will spend 18 months in the spacecraft.D．Astronauts can't use any mobile phone during the experiment.58．What is the most difficult thing that Sytev will face during their training?A．Standing the isolation and loneliness.B．There existing a 40-minute delay.C．Lacking food and other products.D．Being monitored by Suvorov and other scientists.59．We can learn from Suvorov's words that ________.A．it's hard for the astronauts to perform their tasks togetherB．more experiments will be carried out for a real journeyC．the astronauts should learn to make decisions on their ownD．different cultures of the astronauts don't matter any more60．What is the main idea of the text?A．How people begin to conquer Mars.B．The introduction of a real Mars expedition.C．The difference between experiment and reality.D．Six astronauts train for the eventual Mars mission.阅读填空(1*10=10’)China's Ministry of Education has approved a plan by New York University (NYU) to open a separate，full degree--granting(授予学位的) campus in Shanghai City in the coming years.Yu Lizhong，President of East China Normal University (ECNU)，which is NYU's partner in establishing the NYU Shanghai campus，made the announcement on Jan.19th，2011.ECNU was founded in October, 1951 and is a key institution of higher learning directly under the Ministry of Education.The NYU Shanghai campus will be China's first international university co--established by higher--learning institutes from the two countries，media reports said.The NYU Shanghai campus will be located in the Pudong New Area's Lujiazui financial and trade zone.

So discover your inner strength and find out what you can do!Part ⅢReading Comprehension (30 points)Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Website you've visited, or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it's likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never be intended to be seen the 21st century replacement of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no"．When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.A survey found a strong bad feeling about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me"．But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will give away personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centoff coupon (优惠券)．But privacy does matter-at least sometimes. It's like health: When you have it, you don't notice it. Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it.56.What does the author mean by saying "the 21st century replacement of being caught naked"?( )A. People's personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others' secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.57. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends? ( )A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer arguments between friends.58．Why does the author say "we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"? ( ) A．Modern society has finally developed into an open society.B．People leave traces around when using modern technology.C．There are always people who are curious about others' affairs.D．Many search engines benefit from giving away people's identities.59．What do most Americans do as for privacy protection?A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B．They use various loyalty cards for business transactions (交易)．C．They rely more and more on electronic devices.D．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.60．According to the passage, privacy is like health because ________.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lostD. people don't treasure it until they lose itPart Ⅳ Writing (45 points)SECTION B (10 marks) Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit.As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal（肠的）disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the disease was actually acute appendicitis (阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health declined under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he became an alcoholic.As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed — his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.When I heard of Al's death, I thought, “What a complete failure!” “What a totally wasted life”.As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. Iwatched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. "I'm really puzzled by something," I said. "I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do so that you became such a special person?"Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind, but he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving man I have ever known.81. Why was Al in guilt?

I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quiteexcited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.56. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life.57. The underlined word "infinite" means_______A. bigB. limitlessC. normalD. small58. The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school that ________.A. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there’s a will, there’s a way59. What is the secret of happiness in the author's opinion?A. Success and wealth.B. Gifts and self-confidence.C. Enthusiasm and good health.D. Knowledge and achievements.60. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyB. wealth can’t bring people any happiness and comfortC. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsD. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealth四．阅读填空（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from thepassage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-I –can do environmentalism.”On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Home Owners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.So far, only three states have laws to protect clothes lines. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move.Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, “The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.”Title: 71.___________ in clothesline drying班级________姓名__________ 一．单选题（15分）二．完形填空Section A （18 分）Section B（12分）48.___________ 49. ________ 50. ___________ 51. ___________ 52. __________ 53. _________ 54. ___________ 55. ____________ 三．阅读理解（10分）___________________四.阅读填空（10分）71. ___________________ 72. ___________________73. ___________________ 74. ____________________75. ___________________ 76. ____________________77. ___________________ 78. _____________________79. ___________________ 80. ____________________湘阴一中英语周考试卷（十一）参考答案单项选择(1’×15=15分)21-35 CBCAC ABCAB BCBAC完型填空（1.5’ ×12=18分）36-47 CABAB ABBAD AD完型填空II（1.5’ ×8=12分）48, an 49. can 50. but 51. not/never52. which 53. us 54. through 55. because阅读理解（2’ ×5=10分）56-60 DBACD阅读填空（1’ ×10=10分）71.Opposite/different opinions 72. be banned73.

Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, 36 . That is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been suffer from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 37. It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.●38 having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because youcan see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.●39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. Butthere’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim menta lity”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.●You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead oflooking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A.Learn to really trust yourself.B.It is putting confidence in someone.C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.E.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their futurerelationships.G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring whathappened.二．完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

If you’re looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult.36 Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English. 1. GreetingsEvery phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how’ve you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you’re calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it’d be rude to jump right into business. 372. Getting to the pointThere always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 38 However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”3. Interrupting without offenceSometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 39 Keep in mind when you’d like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I’d like to say something here”．4. Closing the callThis can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes such as good luck on that interview or hope you feel better soon if it’s appropriate.40 Sometimes it’s easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word wel l at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you’re ready to end theconversation.A. So it may be difficult to get a word in.B. Practice English through phone calls.C. Never fear, though!D. Use the phrase “I’m just calling to...” to change to the topi c at hand.E. Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you’ve made.F. You should make a little small talk at the beginning.G. You’d better greet him or her in a friendly way.二．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter, rude boss, or an insensitive employee 41 your day?One day I was in a taxi and we headed 42 the airport. We were driving in the 43 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us.
