It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She g lanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blindperson, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Was n’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”31.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .A.He was new to the classB.He was tired of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home32.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A.He made a great invention.B.He had good sightC.He gave up readingD.He learned a lot from school33.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A.AngryB.ImpatientC.SympatheticD.Encouraging34.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.D.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.BMark Twain left school when he was twelve.

His real namewas Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.After his father’s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and HuckleberryFinnin1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.At the age of 70, his hair was completely white. He bought many white suits and neckties.

2017-2018学年度第一学期期中Ⅰ考试高二年级英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分：英语听力 (略）第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AWith more than 100,000 people aged 100 or over, Spain is the country with the greatestlife expectancy after Japan. How do you live to 100? Here 4 of the country’scentenarians (百岁老人) give their advice on staying youthful.Francisco Nunez, 112He is from Bienvenida, Badajoz, southern Spain. Nunez lives with his d aughter. He says he doesn’t like the pensioners’ (领养老金的人) daycare center because it’s full of old people, whose negative attitude towards life affects him deeply sometimes. Despite his old age. he has always maintained (保持)a youthful outlook, and that is what has kept him going on. Pedro Rodriguez, 106He lives in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, northern Spain. Rodriguez plays the piano every day in the living room of the flat where he lives with his wife who is nearly 20 years younger than him. Their daughters visit them often. His hobby is something that he feels has kept him young. “The nuns (修女) taught me how to play the piano as achild,” he says.Maximino San Miguel, 102He lives in Leon, northern Spain. San Miguel discovered his passion (酷爱) for amateur dramatics at the age of 80 and has participated in many local productions. He didn’t go to school as a child because he was sent to work as a shepherd (牧羊人). He prefers reading books about drawing and travelling. Now this hobby, he said, has kept him full of energy. Pilar Fernandez, 101She lives with her daughter Pili, granddaughters Flori and Ana in Ambas, Asturias, northern Spain. Fernandezsuffered hunger and hardship during the war years alongside her nine brothers and sisters. To avoid history repeating itself, she limited herself to just one child. “From pure fear, I didn’t have anymore,” says Fernandez.One of the best things for her health, she says, is tending livestock (家畜) and a vegetable garden.21.Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A.They may depend on his help.B.He is sensitive to his old age.C.They may affect his attitude to life.D.He has more kids to look after at home.22.What does Maximino San Miguel want to do most in his life now?A.Working as a shepherd.B.Reading books.C.Taking up painting.D.Going travelling.23.What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A.Doing gardening.B.Learning history.C.Living with kids.D.Having more children.24.What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A.They are fond of exercising regularly.B.They led a hard life when they were young.C.They have the same hobbies in their free time.D.They have their own method of staying youthful.BIt was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life”.Experts say Paris is right. For a sudden heart failure, the single best chancefor survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”25.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice.26.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.27.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Creative and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Warm-hearted and generous.D.Intelligent and professional.CWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists(心理学家）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.28.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.29.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 experts30.What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.importantB.attractiveC.outgoingD.energetic31.What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.B.To make full us e of one’s advantages.C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D.To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilities.DThe Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion(侵入）by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.32.The underli ned word “appealing” probably means “______”.A.hugeB.attractiveC.ordinaryD.moving33.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.A.the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204BCB.the emperor wanted to invade other minor statesC.the defensive system of the Great Wall was separatedD.the Great Wall began its way from Jilin Province34.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.A.is from the west to the eastB.is as long as 6,700 milesC.was built in several dynastiesD.was begun in the Qin Dynasties35.The best title for the passage probably is _______.A.History of the Great WallB.Culture of the Great WallC.Construction of the Great WallD.Projection of the Great Wall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。

AIt was the men's skating finals of the Winter Olympics when l was 16. Someday I'd be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally l was for Brian Boitano,a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists. He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought. I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.I loved skating partly because I didn't have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better. I didn't have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes. 1 was sure I'd make a fool of myself.The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual.1 was practising a combination of jumpsthat had once seemed impossible. 1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brian's, I was ready.Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.21. What information can we get from the second paragraph?A. The author lived a hard life.B. The author comes from Canada.C. The author once skated with Orser.D. The author wished Boitano to win the match.22. What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage?A. She could build up her body to be healthier.B. It could help her to get closer to her idol.C. She could better express herself with body language.D. The possibility of her being a world champion was great.23. What the author felt the most satisfied with is that ．A. she lived up to her coach's expectationsB. she became a world champion as plannedC. she managed to overcome her inner fear eventuallyD. she handled the balance between her career and life24. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. Face a fear bravely.B.Practice makes perfect.C. Bad times make a good man.D.Failure is the mother of success.BTop five best dressed at the OscarsNo. 5, Keisha Whitaker. I'm still loving yellow.No. 4, Witherspoon seems to be making Best Dressed lists for every event she attends this season.No. 3, Nicole Kidman looked amazing. And honestly, she would have been higher on my list if her dress hadn't had that bow(蝴蝶结 ) thing off to the side that depending on the angle she was standing at, looked like a pirate parrot sitting on her shoulder.No. 2, Cate Blanchett, Armani, simple, yet not boring. And I love the gun metal grey color.And this year's No. 1 Best dressed goes to Penelope Cruz. She gets the No. 1 spot for actually taking a chance, and pulling it off. On a different person, her dusty rose colored Versace could have easily been on the Worst Dressed List. But she looks perfect.Top five worst dressed at the OscarsThe No. 5 Worst Dressed person was Kirsten Dunst. The dress itself was nice, or at least I'm sure it was fashionable. Maybe it would be on anyone but Kirsten, but she ended up looking like a deflated corpse(尸体).No. 4 goes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Her face looked great, but every time the camera cut to a full body shot, it was like "Huh. The dress looks bad. "No. 3, Anne Hthaway. Giant bows are very rarely a good idea, yet everyone keeps wearing them. Anne's bow looked OK at times, but from other angles looked like a large, dead, fuzzy black moth(蛾) on her chest.No. 2, Kelly Preston wearing Dolce &. Gabbana leopard print. I'm sorry, it's the leopard print. I can't handle it. And nice hair.And the No. 1 Worst Dressed star at this year's Academy Awards was Jessica Biel. At the Oscars, hot pink and a belt can make anyone look tacky. And then you just end up looking like an 80's pop star in a room otherwise full of princesses and one tiny layer cake.25. How many best dresses are relevant to color according to the comment?A. 2B. 3C.4D. 526. Nicole Kidman would have looked better if .A. her dress had had that bow thing off to the sideB. her dress hadn't had that bow thing off to the sideC. she had moved that bow thing off to the sideD. she hadn't moved that bow thing off to the side.27. Kirsten Dunst became one of the worst dressed because .A. she wore a wrong dressB. the dress was uglyC. the color didn't fit herD. the decoration was bad28. What does the underlined word "tacky"in the last paragraph mean?A. Immature.B. Original.C. Fashionable.D. Tasteless.CStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created. Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, w ho wore oversized boatlike shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Constr uction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9yearold girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67yearold female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go t hrough the design process seriously.”29．For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A．To go across the lake to school. B．To pass Professor Canaves' class.C．To test their balance on the water. D．To win the prize money of $500. 30．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Most students finished the class assignment successfully.B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor. C．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake. D．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.31．What can we infer from the passage?A．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities. C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career. D．Professor Canaves attaches importance to handson learning experience.32．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．show his approval of the unique teaching style B．inspire teachers to be more creative C．report an interesting assignment D．encourage more people to take part in the raceDGrandpa's hobby was making birdhouses. He alw ays said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasn't sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses.Grandpa's shop was full of welloiled and carefullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something.It wasn't too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was likebeing a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpa's hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didn't coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last.Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it. It had to be done just right, after all.The birdhouses were a great way to learn about woodworking, hard work, taking care of what you have, and about birds. The best thing about building birdhouses was that Leigh spent some time with Grandpa.33．What's the best title for the text?A. Longlasting Birdhouses B．Birdhouses MakingC．Birdhouses, Home for Birds D．Grandpa's Birdhouses34．What did Leigh value most?A．Listening to Grandpa's advice. B．Helping Grandpa on his birdhouses.C．Spending some time with Grandpa. D．Learning about woodworking and birds. 35．We can learn from the text that Grandpa ________.A．was a very good carpenter B．lived a very hard lifeC．didn't care about cleaning up D.kept thousands of birds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.There are many reasons for people to study abroad.

Even our mother was afraid of him. As children, my sister and I thought every family was like that—that every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children. We were good children. Mom was always telling us we were, even if daddy couldn’t see it.Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We discovered we could draw pictures with chalk on our wooden front door. We could have lots of fun, so we set to work drawing and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We decided to finish our pictures, knowing Mom would just love them.The praise we expected did not come. We did not understand why, but we knew our parents were angry, and that we were in big trouble！Off we ran to find a place to hide. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom and our neighbors calling out to us. We were afraid we would be found. The sun set, and it began to get dark, we heard another voice, one we recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard something we had never heard before: fear and despair. Our daddy with tears running down his face, prayed to God for the safe return of his girls.Things were different after that. We had a new daddy; it was as if the old one had been buried that day in the yard. Our whole family had been changed by one piece of chalk.4.

Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. M arketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).8. The main ideaof the third paragraph is________.A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyB. many old people in America are leading a hard lifeC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American social security benefits are not good9. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replacedby________.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growingfast10. From this passage we can know________.A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful processB. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as growing oldC. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while growing old is notD. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while growing up is not11. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. The public will change their attitudes towards old people.B. People will provide more services to the old in their communities.C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of the people.DNothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class. Every second takes ages to tick by. A recent survey of American kids revealed that 91 percent experienceboredom. In fact, adolescence is considered a peak period for the problem. One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg, professor at the Universi ty of Tulsa says, “Our brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation(刺激). We get used to the media providing levels of highly emotional stimulation, and when we’re not getting them we feel bored. As our society develops various ways of keeping us entertained, we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredom, we’re increasing it.” Luckily, new research is implying a way that we can battle the trend.Professor John D. Eastwood of the University of York developed a new theory of boredom, which links it to the brain’s attention system—the part of the brain that we use to focus. Anything the attention system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucked up into your conscious awareness—it might be a bird outside the window, the pleasant smell of lunch, or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesn’t like being told what to do. It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and interesting. For the parts of school that you enjoy, this isn’t a problem. But for those classes that don’t interest you, or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different. In those situations, you’re going to have to spend a lot of effort constantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things it would rather ignore. And the effort is going to wear you out. Eastw ood describes it as “wanting, but being unable, to be involved in a satisfying activity.” It’s like a block in the system. And it’s the awareness of that block combined with a sense that the environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom.When w e’re bored we blame the world around us, but Eastwood’s theory challenges this assumption: Boredom doesn’t exist out there; it exists inside your brain. What that means is—hard as it may be to hear—boring lessons aren’t only the fault of your teacher or th e subject, they’re your fault, too.12. According to Peter Stromberg, ________.A. teenagers are victims of boredomB. our brains demand much stimulationC. we’ve grown dependent on media for funD. the way we have fun makes us become bored13. According to Paragraph 4, the attention system ________.A. doesn’t like challengesB. enjoys interesting thingsC. does what you want it to doD. can make our efforts fruitless14. What might the author suggest about a boring class?A. Focusing more attention on it.B. Changing the way we look at it.C. Employing various teaching methods.D. Challenging the disturbing environment.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Escape Your BoredomB. Battle Your AttentionC. Fun or Boredom?D. Who Is to Blame?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

How do you live to 100? Here 4 of the country’scentenarians (百岁老人) give their advice on staying youthful.Francisco Nunez, 112He is from Bienvenida, Badajoz, southern Spain. Nunez lives with his d aughter. He says he doesn’t like the pensioners’ (领养老金的人) daycare center because it’s full of old people, whose negative attitude towards life affects him deeply sometimes. Despite his old age. he has always maintained (保持)a youthful outlook, and that is what has kept him going on. Pedro Rodriguez, 106He lives in Cangas de Onis, Asturias, northern Spain. Rodriguez plays the piano every day in the living room of the flat where he lives with his wife who is nearly 20 years younger than him. Their daughters visit them often. His hobby is something that he feels has kept him young. “The nuns (修女) taught me how to play the piano as achild,” he says.Maximino San Miguel, 102He lives in Leon, northern Spain. San Miguel discovered his passion (酷爱) for amateur dramatics at the age of 80 and has participated in many local productions. He didn’t go to school as a child because he was sent to work as a shepherd (牧羊人). He prefers reading books about drawing and travelling. Now this hobby, he said, has kept him full of energy. Pilar Fernandez, 101She lives with her daughter Pili, granddaughters Flori and Ana in Ambas, Asturias, northern Spain. Fernandezsuffered hunger and hardship during the war years alongside her nine brothers and sisters. To avoid history repeating itself, she limited herself to just one child. “From pure fear, I didn’t have anymore,” says Fernandez.One of the best things for her health, she says, is tending livestock (家畜) and a vegetable garden.21.Why does Francisco Nunez dislike living with other old people?A.They may depend on his help.B.He is sensitive to his old age.C.They may affect his attitude to life.D.He has more kids to look after at home.22.What does Maximino San Miguel want to do most in his life now?A.Working as a shepherd.B.Reading books.C.Taking up painting.D.Going travelling.23.What benefits her health according to Pilar Fernandez?A.Doing gardening.B.Learning history.C.Living with kids.D.Having more children.24.What can we infer about the four old people from the text?A.They are fond of exercising regularly.B.They led a hard life when they were young.C.They have the same hobbies in their free time.D.They have their own method of staying youthful.BIt was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered (发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first, no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices (器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life”.Experts say Paris is right. For a sudden heart failure, the single best chancefor survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”25.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She had a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice.26.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.27.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Creative and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Warm-hearted and generous.D.Intelligent and professional.CWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self-confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists(心理学家）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.28.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.29.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 experts30.What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.importantB.attractiveC.outgoingD.energetic31.What message does the author want to convey (传达) in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one’s disadvantages.B.To make full us e of one’s advantages.C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities.D.To make objective(客观的) evaluations of one’s abilities.DThe Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(要塞) against intrusion(侵入）by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying “Wow” when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.32.The underli ned word “appealing” probably means “______”.A.hugeB.attractiveC.ordinaryD.moving33.In the Qin Dynasty, ______.A.the construction of the Great Wall was finished in 204BCB.the emperor wanted to invade other minor statesC.the defensive system of the Great Wall was separatedD.the Great Wall began its way from Jilin Province34.According to the passage, the Great Wall _______.A.is from the west to the eastB.is as long as 6,700 milesC.was built in several dynastiesD.was begun in the Qin Dynasties35.The best title for the passage probably is _______.A.History of the Great WallB.Culture of the Great WallC.Construction of the Great WallD.Projection of the Great Wall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。
