Juliette BrullBGrowing up in Puerto Rico, our family was no different from so many others. My parents got married after my father came back when the war ended. Both of my parents were struggling with the hard economic realities of the time. But somehow, they found time to cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.In our daily life, we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday, every graduation, and all holidays with music and dancing, typical foods. When we visited our family in the countryside-----a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat----we would break into song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun. We would sing not only interesting children’s songs but also beautiful love songs----songs about the love of the country though we didn’t understand the meaning of the words many times.I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency（实习）in a family medicine. I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all aggravated by my feeling of cultural differences.An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rican singer and composer Antonio Caban Vale. The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia. Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.24. What do we know about the author’s parents?A. They lived a well-off life.B. They were famous in Puerto Rico.C. They had different cultural values.D. They took cultural values seriously.25. Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2?A. To prove her pride in her culture.B. To show fun brought by cultural values.C. To express their love for the country.D. To explain what her family values are.26. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “aggravated”?A. worsenedB. appreciatedC. criticizedD. caused27. What did the concert make the author aware of?A. The possibility of celebrating her own culture.B. The right to share one’s culture with others.C. The happiness of possessing unique cultural values.D. The right of cultures to coexist in society.CWeighing too much can damage your health, and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world. Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more, but scientists have had a tough time determining “which came first , the chicken or the egg,” says Julie C. Lumeng of the University of Michigan in Ann Arb or. In other words, it hasn’t been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain. Both scenarios (情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and his colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States. The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year. Three years later, the parents answered the same questions. By sixth grade, 18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students’ race or gender. It also didn’t matter how strict their parents were. Obesity struck all of these groups equally. Instead, sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more----or less----than others.For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5-hour average was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese. Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.28. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 imply?A. Scientists have found the exact causes of children’s obesity.B. There is always something difficult to understand through theory.C. The cause-effect relationship between weight and sleep isn’t clear.D. A person’s weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.29. What did the interview find out?A. 9.5 hours of sleep a night is enough for childrenB. The more a child sleeps, the healthier he will be.C. Six graders need much more sleep than third graders.D. One’s race or gender has nothing to do with his weight.30. How does the author develop the passage? A. By listing figures. B. By comparing different opinions.C. By providing examples.D. By conducting an experiment.31. What is the suitable title for the passage?A. The benefits of enough sleep for children.B. Sleeping less increases the risk of obesity.C. Which comes first, little sleep or obesity?D. How many hours of sleep do children need?DBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke suppor ts a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A. Only good jokes make people laugh.B. Many factors lead to people laughing.C. Funny things can make people laughD. Laughter can make people healthy.33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?A. annoyB. blameC. look down onD. make up to35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?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。

高中英语真题：高级中学2016届高三上学期期中考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsenedlives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I thin k there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（强加）from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.21．What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________.A. most people’s thoughts are controlled by othersB. most people have a variety of thoughtsC. we have thoughts similar to those of othersD. other people’s thoughts are more important22．What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ?A. We need to pay for what we want to get.B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.C. We may lose ourselves to please others.D. The price of taking drugs is freedom.23．In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________.A. care about others’ opinions and change opini ons all the timeB. guide ourselves by means of values from the outsideC. stick to our own valuesD. persuade others to accept our opinions24．It can be concluded from the passage that __________.A. it’s important to accept others’ opinionsB. it’s better to do what we likeC. we shouldn't change our own opinionsD. we shouldn’t care what others think too much2.A Hong Kong Disneyland park admission ticket is your passport to a full day of magical adventures.

Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established carrental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.28．Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.D. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.29．The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear30．Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all citiesB. App-based car rental is functional to some degreeC. The government should regulate the app-based car rental marketD. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company31．we can learn from the passage that _____.A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companiesB. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi ZhuancheC. some international investment companies have strong faith in thefuture of apps-based car rental companiesD. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal4.Generally speaking, government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because thelocal cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There’s no more room to bury the dead, they can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environme nt Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be held responsible for their acts.” However, it does not say what the punishment will be.32．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.33．What can we infer fro m the phrase “have gone far beyond that” in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.34．What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?A. He remains silent about them.B. He gives strong backing to them.C. He objects to them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.D. The government is going to change the environmental decree.二、未分类(共2题)1.A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.

AI suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three- month- old calf(幼崽) struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life- and- death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.1. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _____.A. the calf was about to fall into the riverB. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rockC. the calf was washed away by the rising waterD. Ma Shwe was holding the calf against the rushing water2. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?A. By putting it on a safe spot.B. By pressing it against her body.C. By taking it away with her.D. By carrying it on her back.3. How did the calf feel about the mother elephant's roaring?A. It was a great comfort.B. It was a sign of danger.C. It was a call for help.D. It was a musical note.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Mother's LoveB. A Brave ActC. A Deadly RiverD. A Matter of Life and DeathBMost people don’t realize it，but cell phones are becoming a huge contribution to pollution on our planet right now. The average American gets a new mobile phone at least every 18 to 24 months. Thus you may buy 34 phones in all during your lifetime if you get your first phone starting at the age of 18，and there are many kids who have them even younger.As part of our “throwaway” society，along with our endless desire for new cell phones，it is estimated (估计) that over 125 million cell phones are thrown away every year. Knowing that the landfill doesn’t have to be the end po int of your cell phone can greatly reduce the amount of unnecessary waste produced each year.The reason why cell phone recycling is important is that they contain some pretty toxic (有毒的) stuff. But they also contain some nontoxic materials that can be recycled and used again. Yet in reality，we pollute the earth even more by trying to produce these components over again from our limited natural resources.Unfortunately，no landfill is 100% safe. It is the toxins that come from these toxic materialsinto the ground which pollute our drinkable water supply and affect our health. Currently，less than 1% of the entire earth’s water is drinkable，so we must take steps to protect it.So，before you decide to throw away your old cell phone in exchange for a new one，think for a moment if you really need it or is it because you want the coolest new style？If your older model is still working fine，do you really need to buy a new one?Think about where your cell phone will end up. That it disappears from your sight as it heads for the landfill doesn’t mean its influences stop there.5．The underlined word “landfill” in the second paragraph probably means a place________.A．to repair cell phonesB．to grow cropsC．to recycle electrical equipmentD．to bury waste6．We can infer from the text that the author________.A．disagrees with young kids having cell phonesB．doesn’t support frequently buying new cell phonesC．thinks that we must take steps to stop filling landfillsD．believes that the influence of old cell phones is small7．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of recycling old cell phones?A．It changes the toxic materials in the cell phones.B．It avoids wasting our limited natural resources.C．It protects our health against polluted water.D．It reduces the amount of unnecessary waste.8．What can we learn from the text?A．The average American buys a new cell phone every year.B．Over 34 million cell phones are thrown away every year.C．People usually throw away old and used things nowadays.D．It is unlikely to pollute the environment if you bury rubbish.CAmerican high school students are terrible writers, and one education reform group thinks it has an answer: robots. Or, more accurately, robot-readers-computers programmed to scan student essays and spit out a grade.Mark Shermis, professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron, is helping to hold a contest, set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ( WFHF) ,that promises$ IOO,OOO in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. "If you're a high school teacher and you give a writing task, you're walking home with 150 essays, " Shermis said. "You're going to need some help. "Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s,but computers back then were not up to the task. In the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbook and testing companies jumped into the field. Today ,computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota's student writing assessments and a handful of other exams ,including the TOEFL test of English fluency, taken by foreign students.The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers- only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. Automated essay scoring is "objective," Shermis said. "And it can be done immediately. If students finish an essay at l0 pm , they get a result at 10 :00 pm . "Take, for instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessor, a web-based tool marketed by Pearson Education, Inc. Within seconds it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization, and help students to make revisions. The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic (语义的) patterns , and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.9. The text is written to introduce________.A. Hewlett contestB. education reform in AmericaC. robot-readersD. William and Flora Hewlett Foundation10. What does the underlined phrase "spit out "in Paragraph I probably mean?A. Analyze.B. Organize.C. Give.D. Check.11. What does Paragraph 4 focus on?A. The application of automated essay scoring.B. The advantages of automated essay scoring.C. The prize of Hewlett contest.D. Teachers' opinions about Hewlett contest.50. The Intelligent Essay Assessor can________.A. rewrite essaysB. underline the mistakes in red inkC. understand the meaning of textD. correct key words and patternsDSunday, October 5Clear, 69℉My wife, Eleanor, and I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg, where we were met by our driver and guide, and the minibus which goes along with the boat.

高三英语上学期期中卷兰州第一中学2016届高三上学期期中考试英语试题含答案

兰州一中2015-2016-I学期高三年级期中考试试题英语说明：本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分，满分120分。

考试时间100分钟。

答案写在答题卡上，交卷时只交答题卡。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

AAccording to the US government, wind farms off the Pacific coast could produce 900 gigawatts of electricity every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep for even the tallest windmills to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however, could help put them anywhere.The project, called Hywind, is the world’s first large-scale deepwater wind turbine (涡轮发电机). Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton, 2. 3-megawatt turbine, Hywind represents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar, a technology Hywind’s creator, the Norwegian company StatoilHydro, has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied to the ocean floor by three cables ; these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves. Hywind’s stability in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to the plan, the turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September.To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it’s difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a floating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar’s center of gravity must be mov ed much closer to the ocean’s surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox (变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could beextremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing offshore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps overcome the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet’s surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.1. The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of.A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floorB. the spar which is floating in deep-sea waterC. the blades driven by strong and steady sea windD. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface2.To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designedwith its gearbox sitting.A. on the sea floorB. on the spar topC. at sea levelD. behind the blades3. Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can.A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmillsB. make financial profits by producing more turbinesC. settle the arguments about environmental problemsD. explore low-carbon power resources available at seaBMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experim ental model，” his father had explained，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without anyfurther thought，Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game. I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work. He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMESVOYAGER 1：...VOYAGER 2：...”Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTORETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．”The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen，the letters changed.“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”4．Why did Mark touch the computer against his father's warning?A．He wanted to take a voyage. B．He wanted to practice his skill.C．He was so much attracted by it. D．He was eager to do an experiment. 5．Where did the boys' father most likely work?A．In an electronic factory. B．In a computer company.C．In a scientific research center. D．In an information processing center. 6．Mark thought “SPACE TRANSPORTER” on the screen was the name of ________.A．a computer game B．a company websiteC．a software producer D．an astronomy program7．Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?A．He was afraid of being scolded.B．He didn't like the loud noise and light.C．He didn't want to play games any more.D．He was afraid something dangerous might happen.CResearchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and soc ial factors.“We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission.” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative. Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”8．Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada，France and Italy ________.A．have the same family spiritB．have some similar cultural traditionsC．have experienced some similar social changesD．have experienced similar cultural developments9．How did the researchers carry out the study ?A．By collecting answers of parents from Canada，France and Italy.B．By collecting answers of children from Canada，France and Italy.C．By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.D．By questioning children from French-Canadian families.10. According to Michel Claes，what mainly leads to the differences in parent-childrenrelationships among Canada，France and Italy?A．Educational opportunities. B．Traditional ideas.C．Educational values. D．Historical events.11．Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?A．French children have troubled relationships with their parents.B．Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.C．Italian children have good relationships with their parents.D．Kids from Canada，France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.DAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.12. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.13. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A .They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government14. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached15. According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged byA. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.第二节七选五填空(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。
