AInternational travel has become popular. So, what can we do to enjoy ourselves and also leave a lasting, good impression on the people and places we visit? It goes without saying that we should respect local customs and beliefs. Therefore, a little research into the area where you are travelling may help you.Pay attention to how people greet each other. In Western countries such as America, it is common to shake hands and look at one another in the eyes when you are greeting someone. In other countries people prefer not to touch each other when they meet.For example, in Thailand, it is considered to be discourteous to put your hand on someone’s head, especially children’s. The head is considered sacred(神圣的) and by touching someone on their head you can prevent their spiritual growth.Everyone likes to relax when traveling. This can also include wearing more casual or different clothing. It is always good to keep in mind the local culture about dressing. For example, if you go to a country with strong religious beliefs such as those in the Middle East, all of above are banned. So, it is always good to dress modestly, such as in dark-colored clothes.The better you prepare the more fun you will have. If you are aware of the special foods and customs and have learnt some simple expressions, you might be lucky enough to find yourself invited to a local festival of gathering where you can experience something very special. Bymeeting some local people you could also discover some special attractions or places of interest.1.The author raises a question in Paragraph 1 to ________ .A.make readers answer itB.introduce the topic of the textC.help readers choose where to goD.prove the popularity of international travel2.According to the text, when greeting a man from America, ________ .A.staring at him should be avoidedB.you’d better wear dark-colored clothesC.you may shake hands firmly with himD.you are very likely to be invited to a gathering3.The underlined word “discourteous” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. politeB. evilC. welcomeD. rudeBWhen Caleb Forbes got his first job at an advertising company at the age of 20, he thought he would be at the company for years. But after seven months he was bored. Soon after that, Forbes moved to London. He took four different jobs at three companies over the next five years. Forbes wanted a better job and higher pay---he was never quite satisfied.Welcome to the world of a job hopper. Forbes’s story isn’t unusual these days and such frequent movement from one job to the next will become more common. The main reason: the nature of employment is changing. There are a lot more contracts and part-time jobs or flexible employment. That leads to people having a greater number of jobs. What’s more, layoffs(解雇) and pay freezes(冻薪), among other things, have pushed people from one job to another. In some cases, a bad worldwide job market has limited opportunities for star employees, promoting them to seek new challenges at other companies.However, employers often think that if a person jumped from his last employer after a short period, he will likely do the same again --- there is a significant financial risk in hiring someone who leaves in short order.What’s more, moving from company to company frequently doesn’t mean workers are climbing the corporate ladder(公司官阶) faster. In 2005, Monika Hamori, a professor at Spain’sIE Business School, looked at CEOs at about 55 to see if those who moved around more frequently climbed the ladder faster.She found that executives who stayed with one company became CEOs after 23 years, while executives who changed companies many times became CEOs after 26 years. One reason: workers within the same organization tend to be promoted more frequently and be offered better jobs.4.How did Forbes feel about his first job at first?A. It was easy.B. It was boring.C. It was satisfying.D. It was dangerous.5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The causes for job hopping.B. The popularity of job hopping.C. The consequences of job hopping.D. The measures against job hopping.6. Employers usually think those who left their former job in a short time ________.A. can do their new work betterB. are hard-working and easy-goingC. have more experiencesD. will quit their new job again after a short time7. Monika Hamori’s research showed that ________.A. old workers are more likely to move aroundB. young workers are more likely to be given better jobsC. the less someone moves around, the more he may be paidD. the more someone moves around, the more he may be paidCWhen people imagine a classroom, they usually think of older people teaching younger ones. But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices, the opposite can often be true. A training program called the 50 Plus Center in the eastern American city of Columbia, Maryland offers free technology classes to adults over 50.The training program also offers many other kinds of lectures from Qigong and Tai Chi to yoga and Latin jam dance. There are a lot of exercise programs including playing cards and physical exercises where many people just relax and spend some time together.Myra Stafford is 73 years old. She signed up for the class to learn how to use her iPad. She is learning quickly with the help of the young and she enjoys learning from them. She says she is more confident today than she was before. Working with young people makes her feel wonderful because they don’t make her feel that she is old or dumb.Eleven-year-old Zhion Perekins is a teacher of the technology class. He says some of the older adults know nothing about high-technology devices and they are very anxious, so patience is very important when working with them.He gains more than just social skills from teaching older residents. He has learned a lot on how to communicate with people. He used to be a shy person, but now he has become outgoing.There is a huge growing population over 60. The training program offers an opportunity for the old people to buy products online using high-technology devices. As senior citizens get more excited about what they want to buy, it is likely that they will go into the market and buy it, so that could lead to an increase in economy.8. Who usually act as the teachers in the 50 Plus Center?A. The young.B. Adults over 50.C. The older people.D. High-technology devices.9. What can we learn about the 50 Plus Center?A. It teaches the students social skills.B. There are a variety of activities for students.C. People have to pay for attending the classes.D. It is popular with both the young and the old.10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Myra Stafford is not satisfied with the classes.B. The training program may do good to economy.C. Myra Stafford is too old to learn technology well.D. More and more senior citizens will attend the classes.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. A program called the 50 Plus CenterB. Teens teach the old about high-technologyC. How to help the senior citizens shop onlineD. The old learn to use high-technology devicesDThe cost of college textbooks has risen sharply from 2002 to 2014. As a result, students have to look for other less expensive options(选择) , such as renting books. Now, they find another way, that is, using textbooks on the Internet, uploaded by other students. It is hard to know how popular this practice will be, but many college students around the country are uploading their expensive college textbooks onto the Internet, so that other students can download them for free and avoid the big fees.A year ago, a student wrote a blog called Children of the Stars about a professor who insisted that students buy the newest edition of a specific sociology（社会学）book for more than $200 and didn’t allow them to purchase an older paperback(平装本) edition of the same book for $5. The student wrote, “The newest edition of the book is so expensive. Fortunately, we found the electronic one online, which is very cheap. This is why we downloaded. ” The blog is followed by a list of websites where people can download books.Curious about how varied the selection of books was and how easy it was to download them, V decided to do an experiment. The workers of it picked five typical and important courses of freshmen and tried downloading all these textbooks on the websites offered by the student who wrote Children of the Stars. They typed the titles of these textbooks into a computer, and found them immediately. Within minutes, they had four textbooks on their hard drive.It is illegal to upload or download copyrighted materials without permission, but students still do it due to its advantages. Besides, schools haven’t taken action to stop it.12. According to the passage, why do many students choose to download textbooks?A. Because it is lower in cost.B. Because it is required by their teachers.C. Because it can help them gain the latest knowledge.D. Because it can do less harm to the environment.13. What did find out from its experiment?A. Downloading textbooks was easy.B. Downloading textbooks was illegal.C. Downloading textbooks was expensive.D. Downloading textbooks was impossible.14. What’s the author’s attitude towards downloading textbooks?A. UninterestedB. DoubtfulC. ObjectiveD. Disappointed15. The passage is most probably taken from a(n) ________ .A. health reportB. education reportC. art reportD. technology report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。

Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was angry with her.Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, “Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom.” Every time my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I couldn’t understand her.“She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!”I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I co uldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and explained softly, “Yes, I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson th at she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”It took some time, but I finally understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.5.

Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity. Different explanations are offered for America’s w eight problem — a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in PE classes.Researchers say one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding,can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings—that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(监督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.9. What are the P.E. classes in American schools like now?A. They have become more dangerous for students than before.B. They are interesting and safe enough for students.C. They need excellent skills rather than physical strength.D. They strictly follow the traditional idea of physical education.10. We can learn from the third paragraph that_______.A. there are school nurses in every American schoolB. American girls love working as nurses in schoolsC. American nurses have been well paid by the hospitalD. American schools need more school nurses at presentDTwo good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind, whose legs were broken. The doctor, Mr. Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation.” Mr. Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam sa id, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “Well…Well…OK!” Mr. Lee replied.see or walk. He could do nothing but stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason thought it boring to spend time with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends except Jason. He felt very sad.Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr. Lee gave him a letter from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you are as healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend... Sam”. When he finished reading the letter, Mr. Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep the secret until Sam is gone.

AHere are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community dur ing the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts, dances and operas nearby.San FranciscoSan Franci sco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry-point for the Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to getthe full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.Port LouisFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.1．Which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.B．San Francisco’s Chinatown.C．Port Louis’ Chinatown.D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.2．What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A．It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B．It is the major entrance for the Chinese.C．It is well-known for its gold business.D．You can enjoy fireworks there.3．If you want to enjoy the dragon dances, you can go to ________.A．Rue Royale in Port Louis B．Sunday Market in BangkokC．Grant Avenue in San Francisco D．the Chinese community in LondonBIf you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit —right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt’s biodegrading (生物降解) term is similar to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for a longer time, w e can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by itslifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.It’s not a cheap habi t either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping (乱倒垃圾) you will face a ￡20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court will give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules. 4．What does the underlined word “discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Long-lasting.5．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Tin cans. B．Glass bottles.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.6．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Fly-tipping will only cost people some money.B．It’s not so hard to make sure people obey the rules.C．A large number of people were found guilty of illegally littering.D．Every year UK taxpayers spend huge amounts of money to keep the streets from dirt. 7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call for people not to litter illegally.B．To stress the importance of good behavior.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.CPhysical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now canhelp teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.High sch ool isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s study and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.Not doing sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance.

But a phone call years ago found him a new career.“I got a random phone call one day，” he says. “They asked me if I could make a picture in somebody's lawn(草坪), and I thought: ‘well, you can make a picture out of anything, can't you？’” As a result, the finished masterpiece ended up in the newspapers and, before he knew it, Naylor had a new profession: lawn artist.With a background in art, rather than gardening, battling nature was a new experience for Naylor when he started. “It was a new challen ge and it was very hard to research lawn art. How do you do it? There's not much of it out there. So I had to work out how it would work, and what I'd need.” He says.As a lawn artist, however, there is no room for error. And there's no time to wait for the grass to grow back again if it all goes wrong. So Naylor has to getit right for the first time. “If you accidentally cut the wrong bit off, you can't just patch(修补) it up again. You can't start again.”“Planning is key，”he says. “Grass is not a nice ar tistic medium. It's not very easy to handle.” Besides, lawn art may be impressive, but it only happens during the summer. “The rest of my year, I'm painting or using pens, pencils—normal things.”He may have cut out a new professional field, but he sees it like any other art project. “When you become a lawn artist, you have to say yes to any challenge.”However, as the rain falls over each new artwork, the grass soon grows back and the image is quickly lost. “That's the annoying thing about nature，” says Naylor.5．How was Naylor's first art work in the lawn?A．It was only a small one. B．It was difficult to create.C．It made him famous. D．It was created in winter.6．What matters most to a lawn artist?A．Accuracy. B．Opportunity. C．Knowledge. D．Courage.7．What can we infer about lawn art?A．It has a long history. B．It can be created randomly.C．Rain is a help to the lawn art. D．It is a combination of art and gardening.CThe days of staring at the computer screen pretending to take an interest in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end. That's because computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it in real time.But before you get concerned, the machine is not reading your mind. It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television. These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote, but sensitive hardly noticeable movements like scratching. Researcher Witchel says the level of movement directly shows how absorbed the person is in what he/she is reading or watching—the higher the interest level, the less the movement!To test the theory, Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time. The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the EU banking regulations that most people would find boring.A video motion (动作) tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment. Just as the researchers had suspected, the involuntary actions decreased remarkably, by as much as 42%, when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately, the scientists are not planning to use the findings to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school. Instead, they believe that applying the motion detecting technology to future computers will help improve the digital learning experience.The scientists say being able to judge the student's interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time and reengage the student. Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions.8．Which movement does the machine keep track of?A．Breathing. B．Typing. C．Scratching. D．Walking.9．What might people's high level of movement indicate during TVwatching?A．They are getting excited. B．They are feeling bored.C．They are very interested. D．They are thinking actively.10．How did the researchers come to the conclusion?A．By a followup survey. B．By analysing previous data.C．By means of questionnaires. D．By observing participants' performance.11．Which field will detecting technology be applied to?A．Agriculture. B．Politics. C．Industry. D．Education.DThis month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where livesmight be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,”says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road”at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.” Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.12. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where passing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers’ role isnot clear.13. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D. It should involve no human responsibility.14. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.A. SingaporeB. the UKC. the USD. Germany15. What could be the best title for passage?A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New InventionC. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver RemovedD.

ALow-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. 1Offer to be your moth er’s health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need,”but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part this one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this infor mation in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”Gift No. 4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things—many of which are “green” —and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.1. What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor’s visits?A. Be with her.B. Buy medicine.C. Give her gifts.D. Take notes.2. Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep?A. In Gift No. 1.B. In Gift No. 2.C. In Gift No. 3.D. In Gift No. 4.3. Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to _______.A. enjoy good sleepB. be well-organizedC. get extra supportD. give others helpB“The wheels on the bus go round and round…” she sang. I’d seen her before; she was a regular, like me. Every day I would ride the city bus from Burlington to Saint Michael’s college in Colchester.On this day I was riding with a friend. We were sitting in the back, observing a tone-deaf(音盲的) woman practicing her singing. Not only was her voice unbearable, but she would harass(骚扰) every person that got on or off the bus. The driver became annoyed.“Ma’am, you’ve got to settle down,” he demanded.The bus ride gave me plenty of time to think about everything. I would imagine what it would be like to have the bus driver’s job. The man is under constant stress, narrowly missing cars while making a turning and paying attention to bus stops.When we reached our stop, my friend pulled the yellow cord to signal the driver. The bus had a door in the front and in the middle. Since we were sitting in the back, my friend excited through the closer middle one. I, however, walked out through the front, past the singing woman, giving the driver a wave and a “thank you”. “You are welcome… have a nice day,” he responded, sounding puzzled.I started walking with my friend. “Why do you always walk out the front? The middle door is right there,” she asked.“To say goodbye.” I responded.“What?” she said. “You’re crazy.”But I don’t think I’m crazy. I have a personal obligation(责任) to the man whotransported me across town. I don’t know his name, but he deserves my respect. So many people walk through those bus doors, with little regard for others around them. Politeness goes a long way, and a smile always lightens the mood and brightens a room. Little acts of selfless kindness make a huge difference to people’s lives.4. Why did the driver tell the singing woman to settle down?A. The woman was tone-deaf.B. The woman has sung a long time.C. The driver was under stress that day.D. Passengers were disturbed by her voice.5. Why did the author exit through the front door?A. He was near the front door.B. He wanted to thank the driver.C. It was crowded at the back door.D. He wanted to avoid the singing woman.6. What is the author’s attitude to the driver?A. Concerned.B. Respectful.C. Unsatisfied.D. Annoyed.7. What does the author intend to tell us through the text?A. Be nice to the people around you.B. People should know their obligations.C. Everyone should observe public rules.D. People should treat disabled people with kindness.CLocated in the Swiss Alps, Bergun is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Europe. It is so beautiful that photos of it shared on social media may make people that can’t visit it feel depressed, so local authorities banned tourists from taking photos.It may sound like a joke, but it’s actually a new law approved by its mayor(市长). The justification for the photo ban is that photos of the beautiful village could make people seeing them on social media jealous(嫉妒的) and depressed. To prevent visitors from taking photos in Bergun, a symbolic €5 fine will be given to those caught breaking the law.“We don’t want to make people outside the community unhappy by sharing social media photos of our landscape, and we warmly invite people to visit Bergun to experience it in person.” said the mayor.However, it seems unlikely that Bergun’s new law was really thought up as a way to spare people from the depressing experience of seeing the beauty of the village. As the news spread online, many guessed that it was actually a clever marketing scheme, and this theory was partially confirmed by the village’s director of tourism, Marc-Andrea Barandun.“Now everyone is talking about Bergun, so it’s a combination of both —we made the law and also there’s some marketing aim behind it.” Barandun added that it was unlikely that anyone would actually be fined for taking a photo in the village.To show that they were serious about the law, Bergun authorities removed photos of the village from Facebook and Twitter, and have declared their purpose to remove them from the Bergun website too. If the new law is just a promotional(营销的) tool, it actually worked wonders, as people started posting more photos of the village soon after the news of the photo ban started making headlines.8. Why did Bergun authorities forbid visitors to take photos of their village?A. It was only a joke made by the authorities.B. The photos may cause uneasy feeling.C. The authorities wanted to get more fines.D. The photos prevented visitors visiting the village.9. The underlined word “justification” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”.A. evidenceB. backgroundC. reasonD. desire10. What can we learn from the words of Marc-Andrea Barandun?A. The law will not be applied strictly.B. Visitors should treat the law seriously.C. The law is only a trick to attract visitors.D. The law may have a bad effect on the tourism.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People will post more photos online to break the law.B. The photos of the village will disappear soon online.C. Fewer and fewer people will visit the village.D. The village will become better-known.DToyota’s new robot HSR is devoted to a single task: picking things up. HSR is short for “human support robot”. It comes with a single mechanical arm that can hold objectsof various shapes and sizes and pick up smaller items with a tiny cup. It doesn’t have other tricks, except for a computer panel on its head for surfing the Internet. A person can also access the robot from another computer and use it like a camera-phone.HSR will first be used for people with disabilities and then for the elderly in general. Picking up is especially challenging for people with spinal(脊柱的) disorders and other illnesses. Although it can only do one simple task of picking up, it’s already making disabled people quite happy. “We’re just getting started, but eventually it will enter people’s homes,” the engineer Kouichi Ikeda said. Nearly 40 percent of Japan’s population will be 65 or older by 2060 and the rest of the developed world and some developing nations will follow it. “People feel more comfortable asking a robot to pick up after them tha n asking a human helper,” said Ikeda.Toyota came up with the idea of HSR in 2012. The model should be ready to enter universities, research facilities and businesses next year, where it can get more applications. One disadvantage is that mass(大规模的) production is needed for the price to come down.The robot has several cameras, including two on its head that look like its eyes and sensors(感应器) on its body. It runs quietly around in all directions. Unlike other robotic arm, HSR’s hold and bumps are designed to be soft so they can’t hurt anyone. But it can pick up items that weigh up to 2.6 pounds.12. What do we know about HSR?A. It can fulfill various needs.B. It can help get different things.C. It can be made into different sizes.D. It cannot be used to surf the Internet.13. In the eyes of Ikeda, the robot ________.A. faces many problemsB. will have a bright futureC. is intended for the disabledD. works best in hospitals for patients14. What is the problem with HSR from Toyota now?A. Its size.B. Its shape.C. Its cost.D. Its function.15. What is special about HSR compared with other robots?A. It is safe to use.B. It moves quickly.C. It works by sensors.D. It has many cameras.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。

AGrandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter. He told the clerk （柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didn’t know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years.“Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said.Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line.“You’re supposed to sign your name,” she said.Grandpa’s hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond （金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadn’t seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl.“I can’t read or write,” he said. “I’ve always signed with an ’X’”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.I wasn’t sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half.“Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn’t make the pain go away.Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didn’t know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that it’s not too late. There are programs and people who are willingto help him learn to read and write. But the most important thing I’d say is that whether he could read or not, he was never just “Grandpa X” to me.1. Which of the following statements about the writer’s grandpa isWRONG?__________.A.

It’s difficult for an old man to learn to read.B. The writer’s love for his grandpa wouldn’t change.C. The writer would have respected his grandpa more if he had learned to read.D. You will be looked down upon if you can’t read or write.BA very popular band, Jonas Brothers, released its fourth album this week. The first album by the Jonas Brothers is "It's About Time".

Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This robot looking like a helicopter,a kind of small airplane, is called the detector-bot. It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main work is to collect information from the air, and send goods up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.This robot has a 360 degree panoramic(全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, "The most important thing of this robot is that it doesn't need a far control. We just set the target information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. "This robot has a different function----- it can change as the environment changes. Its main work is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector(探测器) that finds the dead and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40-centimeter-long robot, which can work in the dark. Another use for the rescuers is the supply robots, with its 10-meter-long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen （氧气）and water. Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.8.

英语AThe Donkey Mobile LibraryIt is a bright morning in the Ethiopian countryside. Yohannes walks beside a pair of donkeys that are pulling a two-wheeled cart. They arrive at the agricultural town of Awassa where Yohannes opens the sides of the cart t o display, not the usual vegetables or tools, but children‟s books. This is the Donkey Mobile Library, the first of its kind in Ethiopia and one of only a few in the world.Yohannes was born in Ethiopia, North Africa, but trained to be a librarian in the USA and returned to Ethiopia years ago. The cart is full of picture books donated by American libraries, teachers and school children.Yohannes arranges small painted benches in the shade of the trees, and suddenly Ethiopian children come shouting and racing down every road and path. It‟s mobile library day! They circle the bookshelves with great excitement. Until the Donkey Mobile Library began its regular two-monthly visits, many of these children had never seen a book.“Without books, education is very dull, like food without salt. You can survive but you can‟t really come alive,” says Yohannes. “The ability to read is the basis for greater productivity, better health and longer life. Even though the children lack material goods, with books they can imagine a world of possibilities.”Yohannes first worked in the children‟s section of the main library in America. Surrounded by books he had never seen before, he realized how joyful and imaginative children‟s literature is. He says, “I always thought of Ethiopia. But how could I bring children‟s books to my home country when it had almost no libraries to keep the books in?”He contacted Jane Kurtz, a writer born in America but brought up in Ethiopia, and together they created the Donkey Mobile Library. The children say that the Library has given them ideas about what they might do in the future. A child called Dareje wants to be a scientist and find a cure for life-threatening diseases. An eleven year-old girl, Fikerte, wants to do research about the moon and discover new facts about outer space. Tamrat, aged 10, comes every time.“What brings you back here time and time again?” the librarian asks him.“The stories,” Tamrat replies instantly.1.How do the children feel when they see the Donkey Mobile Library?A.

Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A news report.B. A book review.C. A historical story.D. An advertisement.BSir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a …remarkable‟ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare‟s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.Yours faithfully,SIMON W ALKER5. Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________A. show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd..B. complain about getting books he d idn‟t want.C. advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd..D. urge for the final solution to the problem with the unwanted books.6.

Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because ________A. he wanted a set of Shakespear e‟s works which was a good bargainB. he claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable price.C. he had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some time.D. the set he already had was not particularly attractive.CFor many businessmen online education has been a dream. Now it has come true. The investment (投资) in higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them. But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers have been lifted.That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level.Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many students. Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home or at work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life.In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the world‟s top educational institutions. They can also communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason.This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past. It also allows specialists to get the precisequalifications and focus on their studies. As well as seeing the increase of applicants from lower-incomes and housewives, studying online in the US is even becoming popular with younger people of college age.Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them, especially if they‟re properly approved by the US Department of Education.US institutions have led the way in online education provision. Many top US colleges and universities offer a range of online programs that are highly respected and in every way perfectly fit for adults who need to combine their studies with a working life.8. According to Paragraph 1, many US colleges and universities .A. have begun to lift the barriers to financial investmentB. have begun to run an internet-based programC. have had a dream of offering online educationD. have gained financial investment9. Why do people choose online education?A. They can find jobs more easily than on-campus graduates.B. They can get qualifications from US Department of Education.C. They can save money and arrange their time and courses freely.D. They can invest money in different courses provided online.10. The underlined word “disruption‟‟ in the third paragraph probably mean.A. dissatisfactionB. attentionC. attractionD. interruption11. Which would be a good title for the passage?A. Adult Education OnlineB. The Best of USA‟s Online EducationC. Top US Universities Offering Online EducationD. Online Education Taking the Place of Campus EducationDSometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don‟t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. It‟s not taboo to talk about fat; it‟s taboo to be fat. The“in” look isthin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is ……in”, fat is “out”.It‟ s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people‟s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people‟s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.12. What does the word “taboo‟‟ refer to in the passage?A. A crime committed on impulse.B. An unfavorable impression left on other people.C. A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.D. Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.13. What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean?A. The fashionable look.B. The hidden look.C. The usual look.D. The inside look.14. According to the passage, the common belief is that _________.A. fat people are full of energyB. thin people are more successfulC. fat people prefer to have fat bossesD. thin people are less image-conscious15. People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of _________.A. their need to kill timeB. their love for sportsC. their concern for healthD. their belief in hard work第二节根据短文内容，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。

ALarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.1. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.3. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photos more conveniently.BIt was a wonderful day on the west coast. On a beach near San Francisco, two college students, Shirley and Albert, decided to go for a swim. So they swam out about fifty yards to calm water and then began floating lazily. Little did they know that they were being watched — a great white shark was drawing near.All of a sudden, Shirley heard a scream. Albert was being pulled down by something. His head reappeared with blood. Albert cried out in agony, “Get away, Shirley! Get away! It’s a shark!” Albert didn’t want her help.Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert’s words rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she turned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.The water was full of red blood. She reached for Albert’s hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert’s chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet and stroking(划水) with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friends? Shirley was getting tired. Alber t’s body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her friend.Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exhausted. She could go no farther. She tried to scream for help but her voice was so weak. Nobody would be able to hear that. Miraculously(奇迹般地), Joe was fishing some distance down the beach. His eyes for some reason turned. He could hardly believe his eyes. Joe began running toward Shirley and Albert. He then flung(挥动) his cast like a cowboy with his rope. The line perfectly landed beside Shirley and Albert. Shirley wrapped it around her waist and Joe dragged them into safety. By this time, many people saw the trouble and ran to help. Soon Albert was taken to the hospital but died two hours later.Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert. But that does not mean that we do not sacrifice our self. If our motive and desire is to put other people before our self then we do sacrifice our self. Sacrifice is a necessary part of loving people.5. The underlined word “agony” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. excitementB. painC. disappointmentD. shock6. While Albert was being pulled down by the shark, he was most probably thinking that ________.A．he would surely be saved by ShirleyB．the white shark would leave soonC．it was unlucky for them to swim out that dayD．he should warn his friend7. When Shirley could touch bottom, ___________.A. her cry for help was luckily heard by a personB. a fishing person noticed Albert and her accidentallyC. a rescue team were waiting for them on the beachD. she found Joe fishing and shouted to him for help8. What does the author stress in the story?A．The threat from the dangerous shark.B．The ability to deal with an emergency.C．Shirley and Albert’s concern for each other.D．Shirley and Albert’s fight against the shark.CAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that even if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces(支架). She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤) had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植) and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $ 2,000 for “her hospital”.While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause.In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey — and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation(基金会).9. It can be learned from the text that Alex _________.A.was born with cancerB.couldn’t walk until she was fourC. was the only daughter of the ScottsD. held her first lemonade stand in 200110. Why was Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospital.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.11. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.12. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Energetic.C. Innocent.D. Determined.DNurses have saved almost 800 lives in just one year by using iPads, iPods and mobile phones instead of paper charts to record patients’ vital signs.Death rates at two major hospitals dropped by more than 15% after nursing staff started using handheld devices(设备) instead of paper notes to monitor the condition of patients, according to a research published recently.Nurses recorded patients’ blood pressure, pulse, oxygen levels and other indicators(指标) on tablets and mobiles. Specialist software, called VitalPAC，automatically told them if the patient was deteriorating(恶化). If this happened the nurse was warned to increase the frequency of their monitoring of the patient and, in some cases, to warn a doctor or a rapid response team.The introduction of the new system led to a fall of almost 400 patient deaths in just 12 months at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, and a drop of more than 370 in the same period at James Cook University Hospital. An accompanying comment in the journal described the research as “an important milestone” in improving patient safety and said the lowering of death rate at these two hospitals “represents a truly exciting and impressive improvement”.The system is now applied in 40 hospitals across England and could eventually be rolled out across the whole of the NHS (National Health Service). The system was developed by doctors and nurses at Portsmouth working together with health improvement company The Learning Clinic.13. What can we learn about VitalPAC?A. It works with the handheld devices.B. It is applied in all the members of the NHS.C. It can replace the nurses to take care of patients.D. It was designed by The Learning Clinic independently.14. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to the situation where __________.A. the patient’s indicators are difficult to recordB. the patient’s condition is getting worseC. the specialist software is out of orderD. the patient’s vital signs are uploaded15. Where does the text probably come from?A. A science fiction.B. A lecture essay.C. A news report.D. A scientific research plan.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。

Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(间隔)each day. Low-calorie Diets Do Not WorkThe reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陈代谢)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(调整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.Low-fat Diets Do Not WorkMany people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low fat lifestyle.Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.【1】What is the main reason why people are overweight?A．They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.B．They eat food withlots of calories.C．They don’t take anyweight loss pills.D．They burn manycalories every day.【2】The article is written in order to _______.A．tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food B．tell readers how tolose weightC．tell readers about animportant scientificdiscovery D．call on people to loseweight and stay healthy【3】To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.a. do exercise every dayb. eat meals at the right timec. eat fruits and vegetablesd. eat low-fat or sweet foode. eat the proper foods at each mealA．a, b, c, d B．a, b, d, e C．a, c, d, e D．a, b, c, e2.The following is the information about plays which will be on these days.Big and LittleIt is a play written by Botho Strauss and directed by Laurence Strangio, featuring (由……主演) second-year Performing Arts students.

However, too much stress is bad for your health. Stress needs to be managed in order to prevent anxiety (焦虑). Here are some tips on how to manage stress.Write it outWrite down everything that seems stressful, and ways to deal with each problem. You’ll find a things-to-do list much easier to manage than having all messed up in your head. Write down the tasks along with the specific times when you can do them.One task at a timeGive each task all your attention while you’re doing it, and forget the rest. This will keep you from feeling anxiou s about things you have left to do. Thinking about other tasks only adds unnecessary stress, and can even stop you from doing the task you’re busy with at present. You don’t need to do everything all at once, or on your own. The feeling of being pressed to finish something on time will somehow disappear if someone is there to help you. Give yourself a rewardRewarding yourself for what you’ve already done, no matter how small, is a great way to motivate yourself to keep going. It will reduce stress, and make you happier to go on with the next task.Give yourself a breakBreaks of ten to fifteen minutes are important.

AGrandpa picked up several items and placed them on the counter. He told the clerk （柜员) it would be on credit. The clerk was new and didn’t know Grandpa, though he had been coming to this same country store for 20 years.“Sign here,” the clerk pointed to a piece of paper and said.Grandpa took the pencil beside the paper and carefully marked an “X” on the dotted（点）line.“You’re supposed to sign your name,” she said.Grandpa’s hand shook with the pencil. He was a tall man, thin with sandy blond （金色的） hair and blue eyes. I hadn’t seen him so embarrassed before, especially in front of a teenager girl.“I can’t read or write,” he said. “I’ve always signed with an ’X’”. I could see he wanted nothing more than to get out of there.I wasn’t sure what happened, but somewhere deep inside of Grandpa had been pricked. I went close to him and broke my chocolate bar in half.“Want some?” I asked. He took it and cut into it. In spite of his smile, the sadness in his eyes said that chocolate wouldn’t make the pain go away.Grandpa is no longer with us now, but I know he was never simply “Grandpa X”. He just didn’t know how to read and he thought it was too late in life for him to start. What I would want to tell Grandpa more than anything else, if I could speak to him today, is that it’s not too late. There are programs and people who are willingto help him learn to read and write. But the most important thing I’d say is that whether he could read or not, he was never just “Grandpa X” to me.1. Which of the following statements about the writer’s grandpa isWRONG?__________.A.

Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This robot looking like a helicopter,a kind of small airplane, is called the detector-bot. It's about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main work is to collect information from the air, and send goods up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.This robot has a 360 degree panoramic(全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area. Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, "The most important thing of this robot is that it doesn't need a far control. We just set the target information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour. "This robot has a different function----- it can change as the environment changes. Its main work is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector(探测器) that finds the dead and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40-centimeter-long robot, which can work in the dark. Another use for the rescuers is the supply robots, with its 10-meter-long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen （氧气）and water.

北重三中2016～2017学年第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试题第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to ‗learn from the masters‘ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‗Hissing Sid‘ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron’s PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron‘s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of ―mess and drunkenness‖. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I‘m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is nowknown as Byron‘s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don‘t trust me, then perhaps you‘ll take it from Virginia Woolf ,a famous writer,—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.1.The main idea of the passage is __________.A. interesting stories of Lord. ByronB. an approach to becoming creative in artC. the colorful life in the countrysideD. some places for weekend break2.If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you‘d better go to__________.A. Byron‘s PoolB. the Botanic GardenC. King‘s Art CentreD. Cambridgeshire3.According to the passage, the following statements are wrong except __________.A. There is a small charge for attending the masters‘ classB. Byron liked swimming naked in the lakeC. Byron seemed to like keeping pet bearsD. Hissing Sid and Flytrap are impressive animals4.The author‘s purpose in mentioning Virginia Woolf is to show__________.A. she was a famous writerB. she was fond of swimmingC. she was Byron‘s admirerD. Byron‘s Pool is a pleasant placeBWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation . I suggested that they should stay at ‗bed and breakfast‘ houses, because this kind of place gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories―We didn‘t stay at bed and breakfast houses,‖ they said, ―because we found most familieswere away on holiday.‖I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‗V ACANCIES‘ meant ‗holidays‘, because the Spanish word for ‗holidays‘ is ‗vacaciones‘. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‗V ACANCLES‘, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‗NO V ACANCLES‘, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‗DIVERSION‘ means fun. In English, it means that workm en are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‗DIVERSION‘ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said ―Thank you‖ in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ―Thank you‖ in French means ―No, thank you.‖5. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car6. ‗NO V ACANCIES‘ in English m eans ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays7. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ―Thank you‖ in French, I ______.A didn‘t really want any more coffee B. wanted them to take the coffee pot awayC. really wanted some more coffeeD. wanted to express my politeness8. I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.A. hadn‘t finished drinking my coffeeB. was expecting another cup of coff eeC. meant that I didn‘t want any moreD. was never misunderstoodCA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night‘s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(打盹)—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that ―night milk‖ contains more melatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.9. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. were more anxiousB. woke up laterC. were less activeD. started sleep more easily10. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It‘s been tested on mice for ten times.B. It‘s used in sleeping dru gs.C. It can make people more energetic.D. It exists in milk in great amount.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Milk Drinking and HealthB. An Experiment on MiceC. Fat, Sugar and HealthD. Night Milk and SleepDParents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought, cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by thebaker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the restaurant，the worker‘s canteen，and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Nowadays boys are seldom trained to follow their father‘s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile（纺织物）areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child‘s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant（占主导的）figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increasing，but children lose something of great value if mother‘s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.12. The writer mentions home as workshop in the past because______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity by themselvesC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers13. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father‘s occupation is that ____.A. children rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. fathers do not like to pursue employment at homeC. there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. children also like to have jobs and earn money outside14. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family?A. Mother‘s and children‘s earning enable them not just to depend on father for life.B. There are many choices of employment for mothers and children nowadays.C. Father does much less for his children and earn much less today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.15. What is the writer‘s attitude towards the change at home ?A. Unacceptable.B. Worried.C. Unconcerned.D. Interested.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。

ALarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.1. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.3. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photos more conveniently.BIt was a wonderful day on the west coast. On a beach near San Francisco, two college students, Shirley and Albert, decided to go for a swim. So they swam out about fifty yards to calm water and then began floating lazily. Little did they know that they were being watched — a great white shark was drawing near.All of a sudden, Shirley heard a scream. Albert was being pulled down by something. His head reappeared with blood. Albert cried out in agony, “Get away, Shirley! Get away! It’s a shark!” Albert didn’t want her help.Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert’s words rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she turned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.The water was full of red blood. She reached for Albert’s hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert’s chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet and stroking(划水) with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friends? Shirley was getting tired. Alber t’s body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her friend.Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exhausted. She could go no farther. She tried to scream for help but her voice was so weak. Nobody would be able to hear that. Miraculously(奇迹般地), Joe was fishing some distance down the beach. His eyes for some reason turned. He could hardly believe his eyes. Joe began running toward Shirley and Albert. He then flung(挥动) his cast like a cowboy with his rope. The line perfectly landed beside Shirley and Albert. Shirley wrapped it around her waist and Joe dragged them into safety. By this time, many people saw the trouble and ran to help. Soon Albert was taken to the hospital but died two hours later.Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert. But that does not mean that we do not sacrifice our self. If our motive and desire is to put other people before our self then we do sacrifice our self. Sacrifice is a necessary part of loving people.5. The underlined word “agony” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. excitementB. painC. disappointmentD. shock6. While Albert was being pulled down by the shark, he was most probably thinking that ________.A．he would surely be saved by ShirleyB．the white shark would leave soonC．it was unlucky for them to swim out that dayD．he should warn his friend7. When Shirley could touch bottom, ___________.A. her cry for help was luckily heard by a personB. a fishing person noticed Albert and her accidentallyC. a rescue team were waiting for them on the beachD. she found Joe fishing and shouted to him for help8. What does the author stress in the story?A．The threat from the dangerous shark.B．The ability to deal with an emergency.C．Shirley and Albert’s concern for each other.D．Shirley and Albert’s fight against the shark.CAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that even if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces(支架). She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤) had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植) and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $ 2,000 for “her hospital”.While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause.In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey — and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation(基金会).9. It can be learned from the text that Alex _________.A.was born with cancerB.couldn’t walk until she was fourC. was the only daughter of the ScottsD. held her first lemonade stand in 200110. Why was Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospital.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.11. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.12. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Energetic.C. Innocent.D. Determined.DNurses have saved almost 800 lives in just one year by using iPads, iPods and mobile phones instead of paper charts to record patients’ vital signs.Death rates at two major hospitals dropped by more than 15% after nursing staff started using handheld devices(设备) instead of paper notes to monitor the condition of patients, according to a research published recently.Nurses recorded patients’ blood pressure, pulse, oxygen levels and other indicators(指标) on tablets and mobiles. Specialist software, called VitalPAC，automatically told them if the patient was deteriorating(恶化). If this happened the nurse was warned to increase the frequency of their monitoring of the patient and, in some cases, to warn a doctor or a rapid response team.The introduction of the new system led to a fall of almost 400 patient deaths in just 12 months at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, and a drop of more than 370 in the same period at James Cook University Hospital. An accompanying comment in the journal described the research as “an important milestone” in improving patient safety and said the lowering of death rate at these two hospitals “represents a truly exciting and impressive improvement”.The system is now applied in 40 hospitals across England and could eventually be rolled out across the whole of the NHS (National Health Service). The system was developed by doctors and nurses at Portsmouth working together with health improvement company The Learning Clinic.13. What can we learn about VitalPAC?A. It works with the handheld devices.B. It is applied in all the members of the NHS.C. It can replace the nurses to take care of patients.D. It was designed by The Learning Clinic independently.14.

Where does the text probably come from?A. A science fiction.B. A lecture essay.C. A news report.D. A scientific research plan.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。
16学年下学期高二第一次月考(4月)英语试卷(附答案)
赤峰二中2014级高二第一次月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AFacebook and Twitter have become a significant threat to marriage – with social media now a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases, say lawyers.One in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s（配偶）postings of Facebook or other online sites, according to research. A similar percentage admit that they search online for evidence of their spouse’s disloyalty, while nearly one in five say they have daily quarrels because of the way their husband or wife uses social media. The research was assigned by law firm Gordon in response to an increase in the number of its clients who said that Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter or other social media sites had played a part in their divorce. Andrew Newbury, of law firm Gordon, said: ‘Social media is the new marriage. Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become com mon.” Social media, specific pictures and posts on Facebook, are now being routinely raised in divorces.’ The survey by Censuswide among 2011 husbands and wives, found the most common reasons for checking their spouse’s social media accounts were to discov er who they were talking to, who they were meeting and where they were going. A quarter of the married people said the resulting suspicions led to quarrels at least once a week, and 17 percent said such quarrels were daily events.Arguments were caused by contact with former partners, by the sending of secret messages, and by the posting of ‘inappropriate’ pictures. Some 14 percent said they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific intention of detecting evidence of adultery（出轨）.1. The unde rlined word “disloyalty” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.A. affectionB. discomfortC. dishonestyD. violence2. What might checking spouse’s social media accounts result in?A. The couple let out secrets quickly.B. The couple lost trust between each other.C. All the couples quarreled at least once a week.D. The couple felt comfortable about their relationship.3. By saying “Social media is the new marriage minefield”, Andrew means that _______.A. a new marriage needs social media fieldB. social media is a good thing to marriageC. social media is a new field of communicationD. marriage ending will be caused by social media4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Facebook, a Multifunctional ToolB. Social Media, a Threat to MarriageC. Posting Pictures is Killing MarriageD. Argument about Social Media SitesBDriving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee. The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may befined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.Drink driving is a criminal offence（违法犯罪行为）. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.5. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A. the introduction of driving skillsB. the damage of drinking to your bodyC. the effect of drinking on drivingD. the process of alcohol being absorbed6. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.A. alcoholB. absorptionC. bloodD. process7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit.8. A driver suspected of (被怀疑) drink driving ________.A. should provide specimens for testingB. will be forbidden to drive for 3yearsC. will be punished for 10 driving-offence pointsD. should pay a maximum fine of HK $25,000CWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of themost common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors(上级), will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.9. What is the passage mainly about?A. The influence of confidence on one’s life.B. The importance of confidence to success.C. The difference of people’s confidence.D. The judgment on one’s confidence.10. Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A. who think their goals are hard to reachB. who expect to give guidance to othersC. who want to ask the boss for a raiseD. who dream to be recognized experts11. What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. importantB. attractiveC. outgoingD. energetic12. What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?A. To overlook one’s disadvantages.B. To make full use of one’s advantages.C. To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D. To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilitie s.DChinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against Malaria（疟疾）. This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing p atients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin（青蒿素）, the key drug that battles malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）. However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three-no es” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner o f natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.13. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her researchB. Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti-roundworm treatmentC. The Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her workD. Her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut Malaria death rate14. The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with _____A. a sense of national prideB. Relevant academic knowledgeC. a desire to achieve successD. enthusiasm for scientific research15. In writing the passage, the author intends to ___________.A. inform readers of the news and make commentsB. discourage the pursuit of instant success in scienceC. remind readers of the principles of scientific researchD. praise the award winner and encourage scientific research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。

Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went back to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I put my sneakers on and went out.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn’t help breathing it deeply. I stretched my arms and legs, and then started to run. I found all the things around me were attractive. The branches were waving, as if they were welcoming me. The blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. The wind was whispering, as if to say “Come on, girl”. Two birds, perching (栖息) in a tree were the most interesting. They were scared and fl ew away when I passed them. “Hey, relax,” I shouted without stopping running. “Let’s enjoy the beautiful morning together!” Then a wonder happened. The two little creatures seemed to understand what I said. They turned back and twittered around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They chirped again and again, and it sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to hear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful the life is!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Helen Keller wrote in her famous works Three Days To See, “The seeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore beauty around us, just because we are familiar with it. They always complain that life is boring. But, I just want to say, if you live each day with the appreciation of thi ngs around, you’ll find life is very charming. So, let’s enjoy life from now on.6. The underl ined sentence “The seeing see little” probably means “_______”.A. People who go sight-seeing often see littleB. Those who can see enjoy nature very muchC. People who can see hardly notice the beauty of natureD. Those who go out only see few things7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer got up as soon as her alarm clock rang.B. The writer struggled to get up at 6:20 the next morning.C. The writer was tired of the birds’ singing and frightened them away.D. The writer always complained that life was boring.8. What does the writer intend to tell us in the passage?A. We should appreciate the beauty of life.B. Physical exercise is very useful.C. Birds are very lovely.D. The fresh air outside is wonderful.CWe all hate speed cameras, don’t we? They’re not there to slow drivers down and lower the road accidents. They just make money for the government. They trick us, cost us cold hard cash, distract us from driving properly and are plain unfair. Well, her e’s a surprising thing: What if there are facts that the boring camerasactually saved lives? It’s a conclusion difficult to ignore when you look at what’s happening in France, a country with a historically poor record of road safety. There were 16,617 road deaths in 1972 in France, for example, but that had dropped to 4412 by 2005 following the introduction of rules such as compulsory(义务的) seat belt wearing in 1990 and a lowering of the blood alcohol limit to 0.05 in 1995. In 2016, the road deaths dropped below 2,500 for the first time, or 5.2 percent less than 2015. That’s about 409 deaths per million people compared with Australia’s 387.And guess what? In 2016, the number of speed cameras on French roads reached 30,000 and the government plans to double that within the next three years.Okay, you know the arguments about increased traffic safety and cameras-for-income, but it seems in France there’s been a major cultural change brought on by radars and other laws. A three-hour, wine-soaked lunch with a quick rush back to the office is no longer on.Travelling on the highways, it is rare to see anyone breaking the 130 km/h speed limit when once few traveled below it. The speed cameras are clearly signed so drivers know when they are coming. There’s even an official website listing fixed and mobile camera locations and it is updated regularly.Maybe it is because of such transparency（透明）by the government, rather than the concealment too often used by authorities in many other countries that more French people can enjoy joy of living thanks to speed cameras.9. According to the first paragraph, it seems to most people that speed cameras areused to __________.A. make money for the governmentB. slow down the trafficC. lower the number of road accidentsD. help us drive properly10. From the passage we can learn that __________.A. France has a very poor record of road safety nowB. w e’d better ignore the evidence that speed cameras save livesC. France had less road deaths than Australia in 2005D. France has successfully controlled road accidents11. Now in France, you seldom see __________.A. people driving at a speed of less than 130 km/hB. people having a long lunch time, getting drunk and rushing back to the officeC. drivers obeying the traffic lightsD. police conducting traffic in streets12. The underlined word “concealment” in the last paragraph means “ _______”.A. hidingB. opennessC. strictnessD. peaceDMy mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed---my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling hectic and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I am cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.I always thought I was very tolerant, but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”. With my mother I can now really be tolerant. Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness. Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend(冒犯) anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enoughgoing on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m fe eling overwhelmed（不知所措的）, but that they take care of my mother voluntarily. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.13.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. How I Cared for My Sick MotherB. What I Have Learned from Alzheimer’sC. How I Became More TolerantD. Why I Am Feeling Overwhelmed14.Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer patients?A. Being sensitive to others’ moodsB. Being curious about everythingC. Being afraid of strange peopleD. Being particular about clothes15.We can infer that the writer’s daughters are ________.A. considerateB. selfishC. traditionalD. naughty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。

Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn’t give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was angry with her.Whenever I didn’t get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, “Tiffany’s mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom.” Every time my mom would calmly say “Poor Tiffany”.I cou ldn’t understand her.“She shouldn’t be feeling sorry for Tiffany!”I thought. “She should be feeling sorry for me.”One day, I couldn’t help saying to Mom, “Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I bur st into tears.My mom sat down next to me and explained softly, “Yes, I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”It took some time, but I finally understood my mom’s words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.5. During the author’s elementary school years, she _____.A. wished that her mom were as good as Tiffany’sB. went to school with Tiffany every dayC. usually compared her lessons with Tiffany’sD. sometimes gave lots of money to Tiffany6.

T he author’s mother felt sorry for Tiffany.C. Tiffany’s mother took the author’s mother’s advice.D. The author is thankful to her mother now.CToo much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many advertisements for food. Too little activity. Different explanations are offered for America’s weight problem — a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in PE classes.Researchers say one possibility is a decrease in the number of school nurses during the period they studied. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. This “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding,can also expand the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. Also, she says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings—that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, soccer and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(监督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.9. What are the P.E. classes in American schools like now?A. They have become more dangerous for students than before.B. They are interesting and safe enough for students.C. They need excellent skills rather than physical strength.D. They strictly follow the traditional idea of physical education.10. We can learn from the third paragraph that_______.A. there are school nurses in every American schoolB. American girls love working as nurses in schoolsC. American nurses have been well paid by the hospitalD. American schools need more school nurses at presentDTwo good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind, whose legs were broken. The doctor, Mr. Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation.” Mr. Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “Well…Well…OK!” Mr. Lee replied.see or walk. He could do nothing but stay in his wheelchair all day long.

“The wheels on the bus go round and round…” she sang。 I’d seen her before； she was a regular, like me。 Every day I would ride the city bus from Burlington to Saint Michael’s college in Colchester.
“Ma'am, you’ve got to settle down,” he demanded。
The bus ride gave me plenty of time to think about everything. I
would imagine what it would be like to have the bus driver's job。 The man is under constant stress， narrowly missing cars while making a turning and paying attention to bus stops。

ALarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.1. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A. His daughter had grown up.B. He had become a famous diver.C. His father would dive with him.D. His daughter would dive with him.2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Larry had some privileges.B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.C. Divers had to buy diving equipment.D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.3. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?A. To protect himself from danger.B. To dive into the deep water.C. To admire the underwater view.D. To take photos more conveniently.BIt was a wonderful day on the west coast. On a beach near San Francisco, two college students, Shirley and Albert, decided to go for a swim. So they swam out about fifty yards to calm water and then began floating lazily. Little did they know that they were being watched — a great white shark was drawing near.All of a sudden, Shirley heard a scream. Albert was being pulled down by something. His head reappeared with blood. Albert cried out in agony, “Get away, Shirley! Get away! It’s a shark!” Albert didn’t want her help.Shirley was too frightened and shocked to move. Albert’s words rang in her ears. After what seemed like a long time, she turned toward shore and began swimming for her life. But then she stopped. She could not leave her friend. She had to help him if she could.The water was full of red blood. She reached for Albert’s hand and then pulled back in terror. She wrapped her arm around Albert’s chest. He was alive. Shirley began kicking her feet and stroking(划水) with her free arm. The two friends began the slow journey toward shore. Would the shark return? Would it bring its friends? Shirley was getting tired. Alber t’s body seemed to get heavier every second. But she wouldn’t let go. She wouldn’t leave her friend.Finally, Shirley could touch bottom. At this point, she was exhausted. She could go no farther. She tried to scream for help but her voice was so weak. Nobody would be able to hear that. Miraculously(奇迹般地), Joe was fishing some distance down the beach. His eyes for some reason turned. He could hardly believe his eyes. Joe began running toward Shirley and Albert. He then flung(挥动) his cast like a cowboy with his rope. The line perfectly landed beside Shirley and Albert. Shirley wrapped it around her waist and Joe dragged them into safety. By this time, many people saw the trouble and ran to help. Soon Albert was taken to the hospital but died two hours later.Many of us will never be in a situation to sacrifice our lives for someone else like Shirley and Albert. But that does not mean that we do not sacrifice our self. If our motive and desire is to put other people before our self then we do sacrifice our self. Sacrifice is a necessary part of loving people.5. The underlined word “agony” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. excitementB. painC. disappointmentD. shock6. While Albert was being pulled down by the shark, he was most probably thinking that ________.A．he would surely be saved by ShirleyB．the white shark would leave soonC．it was unlucky for them to swim out that dayD．he should warn his friend7. When Shirley could touch bottom, ___________.A. her cry for help was luckily heard by a personB. a fishing person noticed Albert and her accidentallyC. a rescue team were waiting for them on the beachD. she found Joe fishing and shouted to him for help8. What does the author stress in the story?A．The threat from the dangerous shark.B．The ability to deal with an emergency.C．Shirley and Albert’s concern for each other.D．Shirley and Albert’s fight against the shark.CAlexandra Scott was born to Liz and Jay Scott in Manchester, Connecticut on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer.On her first birthday, the doctors informed Alex’s parents that even if she beat her cancer it was doubtful that she would ever walk again. Just two weeks later, Alex slightly moved her leg at her parents’ request to kick. This was the first indication that she would turn out to be a courageous and confident child with big dreams and big accomplishments.By her second birthday, Alex was able to stand up with leg braces(支架). She worked hard to gain strength and to learn how to walk. She appeared to be overcoming the difficulties, until the shocking discovery within the next year that her tumors(肿瘤) had started growing again. In the year 2000, the day after her fourth birthday, Alex received a stem cell transplant(干细胞移植) and informed her mother, “When I get out of the hospital I want to have a lemonade stand.” She said she wanted to give the money to doctors to allow them to “help other kids, like they helped me.” True to her word, she held her first lemonade stand later that year with the help of her older brother and raised an amazing $ 2,000 for “her hospital”.While bravely battling her own cancer, Alex and her family continued to hold yearly lemonade stands in her front yard to benefit childhood cancer research. People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the earnings to Alex and her cause.In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $ 1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s family — including brothers Patrick, Eddie, and Joey — and supporters around the world are committed to continuing her inspiring cause through Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation(基金会).9. It can be learned from the text that Alex _________.A.was born with cancerB.couldn’t walk until she was fourC. was the only daughter of the ScottsD. held her first lemonade stand in 200110. Why was Alex’s lemonade Stand Foundation founded?A. To promote her lemonade.B. To set up a children’s hospital.C. To attract public attention to her disease.D. To collect money to help children with cancer.11. What did the public do to support Alex and her cause?A. They helped her sell lemonade.B. They provided free stands for her.C. They donated money to her foundation.D. They donated stem cells for her operation.12. Which of the following can best describe Alex?A. Stubborn.B. Energetic.C. Innocent.D. Determined.DNurses have saved almost 800 lives in just one year by using iPads, iPods and mobile phones instead of paper charts to record patients’ vital signs.Death rates at two major hospitals dropped by more than 15% after nursing staff started using handheld devices(设备) instead of paper notes to monitor the condition of patients, according to a research published recently.Nurses recorded patients’ blood pressure, pulse, oxygen levels and other indicators(指标) on tablets and mobiles. Specialist software, called VitalPAC，automatically told them if the patient was deteriorating(恶化). If this happened the nurse was warned to increase the frequency of their monitoring of the patient and, in some cases, to warn a doctor or a rapid response team.The introduction of the new system led to a fall of almost 400 patient deaths in just 12 months at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, and a drop of more than 370 in the same period at James Cook University Hospital. An accompanying comment in the journal described the research as “an important milestone” in improving patient safety and said the lowering of death rate at these two hospitals “represents a truly exciting and impressive improvement”.The system is now applied in 40 hospitals across England and could eventually be rolled out across the whole of the NHS (National Health Service). The system was developed by doctors and nurses at Portsmouth working together with health improvement company The Learning Clinic.13. What can we learn about VitalPAC?A. It works with the handheld devices.B. It is applied in all the members of the NHS.C. It can replace the nurses to take care of patients.D. It was designed by The Learning Clinic independently.14. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to the situation where __________.A. the patient’s indicators are difficult to recordB. the patient’s condition is getting worseC. the specialist software is out of orderD. the patient’s vital signs are uploaded15. Where does the text probably come from?A. A science fiction.B. A lecture essay.C. A news report.D. A scientific research plan.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。
