广东湛江高中名校2016届高三上学期11月月考英语试题(含答案)
湛江市第一中学高三上学期11月月考英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答題卡上将该选项涂黑。
APicking a destination may be the hardest part of getting ready to study abroad. It’s hard to pick just one to be your home. We are here to help you narrow it down, with a complete guide to the top four studying abroad destinations.Number 4: AustraliaAustralia is a country where strong programs seem a bit obvious based on the location itself. Anything dealing with the environment is a natural choice of study, because Australia has such a unique climate across the country. You’ll need a student visa to study in Australia. Most universities will send you an official form along with more information about the visa process once you’ve met these requirements. Number 3: ChinaSome fields like business or economics stand out just because of the nature of the country itself as an economic superpower. Other areas like cultural studies might give you more options to pursue programs that would help you get a better feel of what life is like in less developed areas. You’ll need a visa for any program you decide to do in China. You’ll also need to make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after your planned departure date. Be sure to pay attention to different entry and exit requirements too if you plan to do any side traveling to places like Hong Kong.Number 2: FranceAside from studying the French language, France is a great place for students, who are interested in art, literature, music, history, architecture, or a combination of any of the above. If you’re planning to be in France for more than 90 days, you’ll need a visa. This process can take a long time (think two months or more), so be sure to start early.Number 1: The United KingdomThe UK is home to some of the oldest, most respected universities on the planet. You’re almost guaranteed to find an incredible program for any subject you could possibly think of. You’ll need one of two types of visas depending on how long you plan to study there and what you’ll be doing.1. According to Number 4, we can know that __________.A. the weather in Australia is almost the same all year roundB. the location of Australia influences its programs greatlyC. most universities in Australia can provide visas for foreign studentsD. the development of science in Australia is the rapidest in the world2. If a foreigner is about to study in China, he should __________.A. bring a student visa with himB. volunteer to work in less developed areasC. ensure that his passport can be valid at least for the following six monthsD. apply for a different visa to travel in Hong Kong3. Who may be mostly interested in the article?A. Students who plan to study abroad.B. Teachers who plan to teach in universities.C. Travelers who plan to visit other countries.D. Students who plan to work outside.BSuperman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making backnearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.4. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st centuryB. superhero movies express the idea of escapismC. superhero movies make more profit than other moviesD. superhero movies get popular over the last decade5. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.A. people can be saved from dark and difficult timesB. people can gain positive energy from superhero moviesC. people can learn how to fight against other countriesD. people can know more about the current world situations6. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.C. Superhero films are a new form of education.D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.7. What’s the best title for the passage?A. How much profit do superhero movies bring?B. What makes superhero movies successful?C. Why are superhero movies so popular?D. Which superhero movies are the most famous?CI spent my first four weeks in Granada at the Centre for Modern Languages. This institution is part of the UGR, but has many students enrolling for a month or two at a time to learn Spanish.One of my most useful activities there was my weekly language exchange with Lucia, a Ph.D. student from Cordoba. She and I walked around the city for an hour or so, and I spoke in Spanish while she practiced her English. These language exchanges were not only fun, but also helped develop Spanish skills.While in Spain, I took two kinds of trips, and I would recommend each for different reasons. At the endof February, I participated in a group activity called Morocco Exchange. The four days we spent travelling around Morocco was the best time in my life. We started from Tangier, spent a few hours in Asilah and a day in Rabat, with a final stop in Chefchaouen. We did a few touristy things, such as visiting some magnificent Roman ruins in Chellah. But we also had the opportunity to communicate with real Moroccan students, who answered our questions frankly and with good humor.About a month later, I had the other kind of trip. Spain celebrated Semana Santa (the week before Easter) with a week-long vacation, and I planned a trip to Valencia, alone. It was challenging and a little lonely at times, but a really fantastic experience. I liked the freedom to do what I wanted, and I also had the opportunity to meet some incredible people at the hotel. It can be extremely satisfying to do things by yourself, like exploring an entire city by bicycle. But one must take care, especially as a female, and be a little more vigilant (警惕的) when travelling alone.8. We infer the writer went to the Centre for Modern Languages to _________.A. work part-timeB. do sight-seeingC. work as a teacherD. improve her Spanish9. How did the writer probably find her time with Lucia?A. Boring.B. Beneficial.C. Relaxing.D. Uncomfortable.10. What do the two kinds of trips mentioned in the passage refer to?A. Group travelling and travelling alone.B. Group travelling and travelling in the country.C. Travelling with classmates and travelling alone.D. Travelling in a hurry and travelling in a relaxing way.11. We infer when the writer was travelling in Valencia, ____________.A. she felt completely safeB. she didn’t quite enjoy herselfC. she found the trip was very easyD. she could take charge of her plansDEnough may never be enough. As human beings, it seems that once we attain what we think will make us whole, we grow bored quickly and need something new in order to feel satisfied. We are addicted to what we don’t have.You’d better sit down at this very moment and make a list of all the reasons why you’re fortunate and while you’re writing the list, you would want nothing more. You could get together with a group of peoplewhom you care about and discuss ideas. You would feel comfortable with what you have and who you are at that moment or some hours later. The talking heads always tell you that you need to be rich and famous on your television, so your desire for more becomes unquenchable (难抑制的). You forget that you are enough. You find yourself making comparisons between your life and the life of people you assume who have figured it out, and all of your accomplishments are never enough to satisfy you.The issue with this “never enough” mentality is that we all have it to some degree. We fail to realize that even the people who have figured it out are on some level still as lost and broken as everyone else. Everyone is constantly looking for validation (确认) in the form of likes and comments to give meaning to our sense of self. We honestly believe that as long as we buy into the illusion (错觉) when we are happy, everything is going to be great, we won’t have to face reality.Reality is that we want all the material, social media fame, and worthless validation in order to feel accepted by others. The reason why all of those things bring only temporary satisfaction is that they aren’t the answer. We all keep looking for other people to accept us in order to feel whole. But in fact, it is when we accept ourselves that we can feel really satisfied. We are in a universal competition for acceptance that no one wants a part of, but so few have the courage to stop competing. What will ever be enough?12. After writing down the reasons why you’re fortunate, you may think ___________.A. you are lucky enoughB. you need something newC. you will grow bored quicklyD. you should discuss ideas with others13. According to Paragraph 2, the people who have “figured it out” refer to those _______.A. who don’t dare to face the realityB. who intend to compare with othersC. who have achieved some kind of successD. who are unlikely to be accepted by others14. People can only get long term satisfaction if __________.A. they can achieve great successB. they believe in their own abilitiesC. they can accept themselves joyfullyD. they stop commenting on others’ behavior15. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn people not to set long-term goals.B. To ask people to appreciate what they have.C. To teach people how to hold a positive attitude.D. To inform people of the importance of comparison.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
5—16学年上学期高二第二次考试英语试题(附答案)
湛江一中2015-2016学年度第一学期第二次考试高二级英语科试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答題卡上将该选项涂黑。
APut your car keys away and forget about your travel pass --- it’s time to do a bit of walking.National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets, an organization that campaigns for the rights and the needs of pedestrians, so the organization is previously known as the Pedestrians’ Association. The association’s aim is to make streets safe, attractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people (rather than vehicles) first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles; the delight of local discoveries --- seeing more of your local areas on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking --- walking can clear your head.Walk to School Week, 18 to 22 May, is part of the month’s activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 11 to 15 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, after having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!1.What’s the purpose of Living Streets?A. To let people keep away from vehicles.B. To build safer walkways for pedestrians.C. To help people enjoy walking in the street and enjoy life.D. To make people aware of environmental pollution.2.Paragraph 3 is intended to show that walking is __________.A. so interestingB. very relaxingC. perfectly safeD. highly beneficial3.What can we learn from Walk to School Week?A. It is organized by the government.B. It is held before Walk to Work Week.C. It has developed rapidly over the last 20 years.D. It encourages students to walk to school alone.4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. An introduction to Walk to Work Week.B. A nationwide health movement.C. The influence of working day.D. National Walking Month’s history.BWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.The second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not evenunderstand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.5 . In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________.A. it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB. it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC. it helps us understand why things are the way they areD. it helps people accept the present situation where they live6. Some historical figures(人物) are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________.A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB. people may also learn from bad historical figuresC. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD. today’s people can also achieve what t hey achieved7. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to teach history effectively.B. Some negative reasons for studying history.C. How to get more people to study history.D. Some bad historical figures.8. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.A. inspire the parents to teach their children historyB. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study historyD. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history,CWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but alsoessential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store?I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.9. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people' s spiritsC. it can help rid the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others10. The phr ase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life12. What is the author' s attitude towards the present world?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Satisfied.D. Indifferent.DAmazon. com has received a patent(专利) right to send its products to customers by drone planes. The company is the largest US-based online seller of products by mail and other services. Now, the company has received a patent for its planned drone delivery system.In March, federal officials allowed Amazon to test its drone delivery plan. But even with a patent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear the company will put its new delivery system in place any time soon.The US Patent Office published the document, which describes Amazon’s plans to use GPS to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are. The drone will use a customer’s mobile device --- usually a smartphone ---to avoid hitting people or buildings and to find a secure area to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes after people order them on its website.However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is worried about the safety. Although it allowed Amazon to test the system, the agency said the operators must be able to see the planes. That greatly limits the delivery area.Loretta Alkalay is a professor at the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. Although Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery, Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. She says there are worries that the drones will hit buildings or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or damaged by people on purpose. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “However, it is possible that homes will one day have special area on their roofs designed to receive product deliveries,” she adds.13.What is special about the new delivery system?A. It can deliver heavy products by plane.B. It uses planes without human operators.C. It can delivery many products at a time.D. It is much safer than other delivery ways.14. The underlined word “secure” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”.A. safeB. largeC. specialD. empty15.After reading the passage, we can infer that FAA__________A. doesn’t really like AmazonB. totally support the drone delivery systemC. doesn’t think Amazon should get the patentD. doubts about the drone delivery system第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）AParents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our lives．However, doesn’t it seem that many of us become to have conflicts with them when we start high school? We're less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions——we even rebel against them.Why? It may be the so-called “generation gap”. A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents are ignoring us, don’t understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” Zhang said. “Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, ‘How was your last exam?’ or ‘Have you made any progress in physics?’” To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesn’t completely understand me,” Zhang said. Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parentsno longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some of us even become afraid to go home after school——a very serious situation for the whole family.1. Which of the following is not included in the passage?A. The causes of generation gap.B. The effects of generation gap.C. One example of generation gap.D. Ways of narrowing generation gap.2. Which of the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?A. Modern society changing very fast.B. Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.C. Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.D. Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.3. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word“perfunctorily”?A. attentivelyB. indifferently(冷淡地)C. flatteringly(奉承地)D. seriously4. In the view of the author, ________.A. parents should allow their children more freedomB. parents and children should not stay togetherC. the younger generation should value the older generationD. academic records are more important than one’s inner worldBDo you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using bags. The rule started on June. It came because our country tried to make litter less. Making super-thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have1caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Anhui have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.5. People in China have to now.A. throw plastic bags here and thereB. collect plastic bags in the streetC. pay for using plastic bags at shops and supermarketsD. use free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets6. The Chinese people are encouraged to bring for shopping.A. no bagsB. free plastic bagsC. their own bagsD. super-thin plastic bags7. What’s the main idea of this article?A. Making super-thin plastic bags has been banned in China.B. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.C. Some students in Anhui begin to make their own shopping bags.D.To protect the environment, free plastic bags have been banned in China.CIn general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color,such as red or orange in a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for officers or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange and yellow are warm and that green, blue and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.8. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Sociable people like warm colors.B. Warm colors can make people excited.C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.9. Which is the right color for different rooms?A. Red or orange for officers.B. Orange for dining rooms.C. Blue for bedrooms.D. Red for studies.10. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. It seems the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Surround yourself with people whom you want to be like.To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join in a coaching program, go along to seminars(专题讨论会) where you can meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.There’s no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of whereyou are located，events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as online. Saying you have “no money” or “no time” is not a good enough excuse.For many business owners they spend their whole lives using these excuses and going nowhere. Don’t focus on where you are now, but where you want to be. You’ll find the money and the time if you seriously want to change.You ongoing learning can take you from struggling along to soaring high in all areas of your life.It’s been nearly six months since you made those New Year decisions to make changes in your business and your life.Are you getting the results you wanted?Is your business more profitable?Do you have more free time?Is the quality of your life improving?Is your answer “yes”, then take a look at why that is. What have you been doing to get these results? And if you’re not moving ahead, seriously look at why that is. When’s the last time you read a book, listened to a CD, got coached or attended a seminar to learn how to do things better? The people I know who are getting great results in their business and personal lives are always learning and growing.You are the Secret to Your Success, so do everything within your power to invest in yourself.61. All the following ways can contribute to your business EXCEPT ___________.A. getting in touch with successful peopleB. not dreaming of living a comfortable lifeC. avoiding finding unnecessary excusesD. deciding to change your present life62. The underlined phrase “get off your butt” in Paragraph 5 probably means _________.A. stop being lazy and start doing something usefulB. leave for a place where you want to goC. do something as you likeD. shoot an object63.According to the passage, the most important thing to success is __________.A. making a plan ahead of timeB. attending important meetings oftenC. making changes when necessaryD. keeping learning all the time64.Why does the writer write the word “people” in capital letters in Paragraph Three?A. People are supposed to set higher goals.B. It’s sometimes difficult to change a person.C. Average people are easy to get along with.D. You don’t get better by doing something.65.What would be the best title for this passage?A. Failure is the Mother of SuccessB. Successful Business OwnersC. Learn Your Way to SuccessD. No More any ExcusesCStudies have shown that the fewer medicines a person has to take the more likely he or she will take them. Last week, a study was released about a new treatment that combines 5 medicines for heart disease in one pill. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was the lead investigator. He presented the findings at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Orlando, Florida.The experimental drug is known as Polycap. It contains aspirin, a drug to lower cholesterol (胆固醇)and three medicines to lower blood pressure. The study was carried out at 50 health centers across India. More than two thousand people between the ages of 45 and 80 took part in the study. All had at least one risk factor for heart disease. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or being severely overweight.The people were divided into 9 groups of about 200 people each. One group took Polycap. The other groups took either a single drug or different combinations of the medicines in the Polycap pill. The study showed that Polycap lowered blood pressure and cholesterol without many side effects. Doctor Y usuf said the single pill, taken once a day, could reduce the average person's risk of heart disease and stroke by about half. The maker of Polycap, Cadila Pharmaceuticals of India, paid for the study.Cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）of the heart and blood vessels are the number one cause of death around the world. These diseases kill more than seventeen million people every year.80 percent of them are in low and middle income countries. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill treatment could revolutionize heart disease prevention. People would be more likely to take one pill a day than many pills. And one pill would cost less than several pills.Other heart doctors say heart disease prevention is important but not necessarily with pills. They say patients might be able to get the same results with changes in diet and exercise.Doctors say that more research on Polycap is needed. They say the drug should be tested on thousands more people, including those in different risk, age and ethnic grou ps.66. The underlined sentence in Paragragh 1 implies that people _______.A. don’t like to take medicinesB. tend to take fewer medicinesC. should take medicines if it is necessaryD. tend to fall sick if they take fewer medicines67. Which of the following about Doctor Y usuf’s experiment on Polycap in India is True?A. Polycap was tested for its five different combinations.B. Polycap was proved basically safe and effective.C. All the participatiors had at least one symptom of heart disease.D. Participators were required to come from different ages and ethnic groups.68. From the passage, we can infer that Polycap ________.A. is generally accepted by heart doctorsB. mainly consists of medicines to lower blood pressureC. is certain to play important role in heart disease preventionD. will be cheaper than other common medicines to treat heart disease69. According to the passage, the following people are more likely to get Cardiovascular disease except ______.A. old peopleB. low-income peopleC. overweight peopleD. diabetic people70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Different opinions about heart disease prevention.B. A combination pill may cut heart disease risk in half.C. A combination pill cures blood pressure and bad cholesterol.D. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the world.PART FOUR WRITING (45%)SECTION A (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.An altimeter（测高计）is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying.The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer（气压计）,which, like barometers found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air, the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is abo ve sea level.But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14,000 feet above sea level.The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sea-level pressure before setting out from the airport and then corrects it in flight according to new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course. The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflections. It calculates the height of the flying pl ane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required f or them to bounce back（反弹）. It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.SECTION B (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Image that you are sitting in a park and suddenly remember that you need to send an urgent email. You have your laptop computer with you and you connect it to a wireless access point (WAP) and access the Internet. Then you send your email. Wireless Internet has tricked(慢慢进入) into our existence in so many ways that we don’t even realize what a necessary part it has become of our day-to-day lives.How do we connect to a wireless Internet service for laptop computers? There are two ways to do this. They are Wi-Fi connection and bluetooth connection. Wireless networking is very easy. You just switch on the Wi-Fi button that has been provided in the laptop for Wi-Fi browsing. Once that is done, the computer will make you connect to the Internet.An increasing fact about Wi-Fi networking is that you can create a network between similar wireless devices. This is especially easy in Wi-Fi compatible (兼容的) laptops. Consider a situation where you and your friend both have Wi-Fi laptops, and there is some data you want to exchange. But the beauty of Wi-Fi networking technology is that you can set up a network between you and your friend’s laptop, and share all the data you want.Broadband Internet connection is typically preferred by any user as it provides better speed for Internet browsing. Broadband wireless Internet for laptops is similar to Wi-Fi technology. Wherever you find a Wi-Fi hot spot, its backbone is always broadband Internet. Up until the invention of 3G mobile phones, Internet speed on mobile phone was very slow. 3G has the promise of changing the entire face of broadband technology. Just imagine browsing at speeds of more than 2MB per second. To give you a measure of the speed, 3G enables you to watch high quality live videos on the Internet.It is amazing to see how technology changes and the rate at which it changes. There may come a time when you may be able to browse using mobile wireless Internet for laptops anywhere in the world.81. What’s the author’s purpose by giving an example at the beginning of the passage? (No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.82. If you want to share data with your friends through Wi-Fi networking, what should you do? ( No more than 6 words.)____________________________________________________________________.83. What does the passage mainly talk about? ( No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.84. What is the greatest advantage of 3G mobile phones? ( No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.SECTION C (25%)Directions: Write an English letter according to the instructions given below in Chinese.下图描绘的是当今学生中存在的一种现象。

It is called “Citta Slow”. “Citta” in Italian means city. The concept of “Citta Slow” aims to improve people’s quality of life by creating a more caring and ecologically correct environment through the enjoyment of food art, theatre, community gathering places and so on.Slow cities are characterized by a way of life that enables people to live slowly. Traditions and traditional ways of doing things are valued. Slow cities have less traffic, less noise and fewer crowds.These cities stand up against the fast pace of life often seen in other cities throughout the world.Towns in Italy have banded together to form an organization called the Slow City Movement. The global organization hopes to help the world by deciding which cities can call themselves Slow Cities and which cities cannot.The principles of the Slow City Movement are those we would like all cities to live by. Hopefully the movement will continue and cities that cannot meet the strict criteria will continue to work towards these principles.The Slow City Movement is already very popular around the world. London is one of the cities that are taking part and it has its own website. The website says: “There are people in cities all over the world who have found all sorts of ways to bring a sense of relaxation to places where it can often be stressful to live. Slow London provides a place for these people to meet and share their ideas.”65．“Citta Slow” is .A．a movement started in some Italian citiesB．a new trend already popular around the worldC．a way of life that enables people to live slowlyD．a concept against the fast pace of life66．According to the passage, to improve people’s quality of life, it is effective to .A．practise as your previous generations didB．persuade all people to travel on footC．pay a single visit to the theatreD．put emphasis upon the fast pace of life67．Which of the following statement is NOT true about the Slow City Movement?A．The Slow City Movement was initiated in Italy.B．London is taking part in the Slow City Movement.C．The Slow City Movement is trying to form the standard of slow cities.D．Only some cities are slow ones by the criteria.68．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Citta SlowB．Slow CitiesC．Slow Cities and the Slow MovementD．The Slow City MovemetBDepartment of Homeland SecurityU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services I – 797 C, Notice of01/31/05)69．What does this table allow you to do?A．T o apply for a visit to America.B．T o apply for immigration to America.C．To apply for a visit to the People’s Republic of China.D．To apply for immigration to the People’s Republic of China.70．You can get to the destination on .A．May 25,1975B．January 31,C．June 18,D．July 18,71．Suppose you plan to change your applicant status, you have to .A．notify U.

M – 1, M – 3 or J – 1 non – immigrant visaD．make a phone call to the Customer ServiceCEvery year, malaria (疟疾) sickens about five hundred million people. More than one million of them die, mostly young children and pregnant women in Africa.For several years in sub-Saharan Africa, the Global Fund and other groups have been paying for bed nets treated with long-lasting insect poison. Malaria is spread by mosquito bites. The groups have also invested in antimalaria drugs for A.C.T., artemisinin-based combination therapy.Recently, a team from the World Health Organization visited Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda and Zambia. These countries were the first to distribute the bed nets and medicine. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis(肺结核) and Malaria requested a study to see if the interventions were helping.The researchers found that the answer is yes. They looked at records of children under five. They found that malaria deaths fell by sixty-six percent in Rwanda between two thousand five and two thousand seven. Deaths fell by fifty-one percent in Ethiopia, thirty-four percent in Ghana and thirty-three percent in Zambia.The team reported that limited supplies of bed nets could help explain the more limited effects in Zambia and Ghana. But the findings in Ghana were more difficult to explain, because deaths from causes other than malaria fell more sharply. The report says this was in keeping with general improvements in health services.The full report can be found at who. int, on the page for the global malaria program.In another new study, researchers reported that vitamin A and zinc treatments might also help protect young children from malaria. Scientists in Burkina Faso found that malaria reinfection rates fell by thirty – four percent in a group of children treated with vitamin A and zinc.The findings appear in Nutrition Journal, an open access publication that can be read free of charge at nutritionj. com.72．Which is probably the most useful in fighting malaria according to the passage?A．Bed nets.B．Medicine.C．Vitamin A and zinc treatments.D．Killing mosquitoes.73．Why did a team from the World health Organization visit the African countries?A．T o help the African countries to fight malaria.B．T o identify whether their effort to fight malaria was effective.C．To study which people tend to be infected with malaria.D．To study what measures can be taken against malaria.74．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Malaria only appears in Africa.B．Malaria is no longer a threat to African countries.C．The researchers are disappointed with the result of the study.D．People all over the world are trying to treat malaria.75．Which one summarizes the passage best?A．A Success Story for Malaria Control in AfricaB．Malaria in AfricaC．Say No to MalariaD．How to Treat MalariaDFarmers in the United States sometimes plant switchgrass as a border crop. But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogel was the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less.The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says the result shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.76．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low – quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow77．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right78．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that .A．biofuels produce less greenhouse gases than fossil fuelsB．fossil fuels release carbon while biofuels not when burningC．biofuels take in carbon from the air when they are growingD．biofuels produce greenhouse gases only when they are burning79．The passage indicates that .A．we’d better make full use of biofuels to protect the environmentB．the value of using biofuels remains to be further studiedC．it’s costless to grow biofeulsD．biofuels are just switchgrass and cornSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A –John Graham won the annual competition of tall tales, which is held at the Bridge. Inn in Santon Bridge, in Britain’s Lake District.

高三英语月考试题及答案-廉江市第一中学2016届高三上学期第一次月考(开学摸底)
广东省廉江市第一中学2016届高三第一次月考英语试题第二部分阅读理解（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（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn white shirt，blue pants，black cloth shoes and two pigtails(辫子)，Jingqiu gives off an air of great “pure beauty” in Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree.The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the “cultural revolution”(1966～1976)，the pair managed to fall in love although they came from different political environments.Before it was released，moviegoers speculated(推测)on just what this “pure beauty” could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu—a character so innocent that she believed simply lying on the same bed with a man would make her pregnant.It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang，Zhou had“eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside”．Born of an ordinary worker's family，the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.While some teenagers consider such “pure beauty” illusory(虚幻的)，others believe that it speaks of something soulful.Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within，thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.“Being pure can be simple，not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However，it doesn't mean an ignorant or naive(天真的)person. So，a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time，”she said.1．What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree?A．A simple girl B．A pure girlC．A romantic girl D．A silent girl2．What kind of girl looks pure according to the passage?A．A girl in white shirt，blue pants，black cloth shoes and two pigtails.B．A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.C．A girl who was born into an ordinary worker's family.D．A girl wears accessories and make-up.3．What's the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?A．It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.B．Being pure can be simple，not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced.C．It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.D．Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn't pass with time.4．Which do you think is the best title for the passage?A．What makes a pure girl?B．A debate on the movie Under the Haw thorn TreeC．Opinions on the character JingqiuD．It's hard to find the character JingqiuBA. North BeachB. Xpu Ha BeachC. Wet'n Wild Water ParkD. Playa Brujas6．One of the similarities that the four beaches share is that________.A. tourists can have some sportsB. they have clubsC. the waters are shallowD. they have satisfactory wave7．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Playa Brujas is close to Mazatlan and lies along the east coast of Mexico.B. North Beach is the finest beach in the Yucatan Peninsula for its private location.C. Tourists can rent some equipment at Xpu Ha Beach, which is as busy as others.D. When a couple with children choose a beach, Playa La Audiencia is their best choice.CArriving in Sydney on his own from India，my husband，Rashid，stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay，he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city，thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening，the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can (垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out，although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way. 8．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping. B．Find a house.C．Join his family. D．Take a vacation.9．The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from________.A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney10．What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?A．Showed. B．Sent out. C．Delivered. D．Gave back.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．From India to Australia. B．Living in a New Country.C．Turning Trash to Treasure. D．In Search of New Friends.DMy student teaching experience was a wonderful adventure. I had to deal with various discipline and behavior challenges that occurred again and again.The greatest part of it was the relationship I developed with two students. One of the students was named Michael，whom I met when I was working for a kindergarten. Before I became a morning bus assistant, I'd heard that Michael was a challenging student who would always shout, stand up on the bus, make fun of other students, and distract bus driver. So I decided that each morning, when he got on the bus, I'd have Michael sit beside me. At first he didn't like this idea and pouted(撅嘴)about it. But soon he settled down, knowing he had no choice. I began to talk to him about little things outside of school life, such as his weekend activities and things that he liked to do. I also listened closely to him When he talked and thoroughly responded to his ideas. As I gave Michael the attention that he needed，little by little, he began to behave better and better. His transformation was noticed by all, by the students and especially the bus driver.Another student I took a special interest in was a boy named Tony, a third grader. To some, Tony seemed to be a slow or passive learner. So I decided to see if I could find a way to motivate Tony to stay on the task. I would sit in the seat next to him and encourage him through every step of the work he was doing. This helped him to stay motivated and at least the work was getting down on time. Before long, he was paying more attention to his studies, and scoring high on all his tests. I knew that all Tony had needed was to be motivated on a one-on-one basis.12．What is the text mainly about?A. The two greatest students during the writer's career as a teacher.B. The writer's best memories of his teaching experience.C. How to motivate slow students.D. How to deal with naughty students.13．The writer first made Michael sit beside him in order to________.A. limit his freedom and his behaviourB. listen to him and know his real thoughtsC. talk to him to change his bad attitudeD. give him attention and teach him to behave well14．Which of the following would probably have nothing to do with Tony?A. He was uninterested in what the teacher was saying.B. He often shouted and stood up to distract the teacher.C. He seemed to stare at nothing and think of nothing.D. He always had a blank sheet of paper on his desk.15．What can we learn from the text?A. Selfless giving is always a pleasure for a teacher.B. An act of kindness could bring the students great joy.C. Different students should be taught in different ways.D. Students should learn to appreciate teachers' concern.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

廉江市第一中学2016届高三第二次月考英语试题满分：120分(共8页) 考试用时：120分钟第二部分阅读理解（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（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A“The concept of fate” comes up a lot in conversation with Julia Roberts.” I don't want to toy with the gods, ” she'll say. This is understandable since by any accounting she has been phenomenally lucky: a career that has lasted more than 25 years and includes a best-actress Oscar and a marriage that has sailed past the decade mark. But these days, she's trying to live a life more ordinary, admittedly a difficult proposition for someone who found super-stardom at 22 with 1990's Pretty Woman and to date has brought in $2.6 billion in box office receipts.She loves the family she created with cinematographer husband Danny Moder, whom she married in 2002. She seems content right where she is dressed in a sweater and jeans, newly blond hair pulled back, her delicately lined face free of makeup, with her children , 9-year-old twins Hazel and Finn and 6-year-old Henry, climbing into her lap to collect hugs. Almost all of her acting work is shot around their schedule, even her most recent: an adaptation of The Normal Heart, a play about the early fight against AIDS, airing on HBO this month.“Her family is a major part of what she does,” adds Bradley Cooper, her co-star in 2010's Valentine's Day , during which, he recalls, a dressing room was turned into a playroom for the 1½-year-old twins. “Her children are always around.”Recently sorrow caught up to Roberts when her half-sister Nancy Motes died at 37 from a possible drug overdose in early February. “You don't want anything bad to happen to anyone, but there are so many tragic, painful, inexplicable things in the world. But as with any situation of challenge and despair, we must find a way, as a family.”1. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. Biography of Julia Roberts.B. How to Deal with Your Family.C. Julia Roberts’ Lovely Children.D. Julia Roberts and Her Family Life.2. How many children does Julia Roberts have?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four3. According to the passage, The Normal Heart is originally a_____________.A. magazineB. playC. movieD. journalA. tell us that Roberts hates her sister.B. stress that Roberts values her family.C. encourage Roberts to hide her sorrow.D. show that Roberts’ sister ove rdose drug.BWhile it's located at the so-called "center of the universe," the billboard-covered building is mostly empty. The New York Times constructed the building as its general office building in 1904, and staged a massive New Year's Eve firework display to celebrate.But when the city outlawed the fireworks, The Times' chief electrician, Walter Palmer, came up with the idea to drop a lighted ball from the top of the tower instead.The New York Times owned the building for less than 10 years, and it fell into disrepair as Midtown grew ragged. According to a 1961 "Talk of the Town" piece, "There was a time when alcohol-illegal-selling was going full popularity in one of the basements...when the F.B.I. –this was during the Second World War –was holding automatic gun practice in a basement and using a 7th floor office to trap German spies."In 1995, Lehman Brothers bought the building, but instead of renting office space, it turned the 25-story tower into a billboard and made a 300 percent profit in two years.Filings from 2012 show that the billboards covering the building generate over $23 million annually, which represents 85 percent of the building's total revenue. The building itself has an estimated value between $378 million and $495 million.Walgreens rents the first three floors, with some storage space above that. The upper floors are used for New Year's Eve. But in between, there's not much else.5. Why did the New York Times build the building?A. To take it as its general office buildingB. To present the New Year’s Eve fireplay.C. To throw a lighted ball from above.D. To make advertising by billboard.6. For what was the building used during World War II?A. For public use.B. For secret use.C. For agriculture use.D. For business use.7. What is the writer’s attitude to the Lehman Brothers?A. They are greedy and selfish.B. They have a brave heart.C. They are self-disciplined.D. They have a business brain.8. Which of the following does the underlined phrase mean?A. The building's whole costs.B. The building's complete value.C. The building's entire income.D. All the building's expenses.CToday’s youngsters use smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices(设备) more than ever before. And the amount of time they spend on these devices is only likely to increase in the future. But are all these changes good?We sometimes call children who are able to use mobile devices and technology easily digital natives. They can text, email, get Wi-Fi, and download. Some experts say that long periods of time spent chatting to friends online, playing video games and listening to mp3s, for example, may possibly change how their brains work.Then there is the question of privacy. All this online activity creates a digital footprint. Every time we share a photo or a post on social media, and every time we search for something on the Internet, information about our activity is stored somewhere.Our inability to control what happens to our children's digital footprint - and their personal privacy - has big possibilities. It might become normal for companies to ask their employees for their social media qualifications. We are also becoming more aware that companies and governments may be able to 'listen in' on our communications. So it is important to make our children aware of the possible results of oversharing.Another area where the digital world may have a big effect is in education. One worry is that kids who spend a lot of time online at home are sometimes unable to socialise properly with other children when they are at school. Other experts point out that, when it comes to children and technology, the children are the experts, not the teachers. They say that we should stop seeing online as 'bad' and offline as 'good' - and there is evidence of innovative (革新的)work in some schools.So, do we really need to rescue our children from the dangers of the digital world?9. According to the second paragraph, what is the possible effect of digital childhood?A. Children can grow up quickly.B. Children can read texts fluently.C. Children’s way of thinking may be changed.D. Children may become mentally disabled.10. All the following may happen to our digital footprints EXCEPT________A. When surfing the Internet, our digital footprints are saved.B. Some business societies may take advantage of the information.C. Government may look into our communication through the Internet.D. Digital pictures may be printed by our computer automatically.11. Why are many teachers doubtful about digital technology?A. Because some students can not do well in studies.B. Because some teachers haven’t changed for years.C. Because some students addicted to digital technology can not socialize well.D. Because some teachers addicted to tradition technology cannot teach well.12. Which of the following can sumarize the main idea of the text?A. Do we need to rescue our kids from the digital world?B. Should children learn to use digital technology?C. Are there changes in ch ildren’s school life?D. Should teachers accept changes in our life?DAt the Magazine we welcome your contributions!
