At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

AMost dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical(字母表的) order--- a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the “poor” comes before “poverty” and the word “poverty” comes before the “power”. The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic alphabet(音标) shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word‟s meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 diffe rent meanings.21. Many words have_______.A .several meanings B. one meaningC. few meaningsD. no meaning22. A good dictionary will tell you_____A.more of word‟s pronunciationB. more of the word‟s meaningsC. more of grammarD. more of the word‟s spelling.23.. Phonetic alphabets are used to show ________A. handwritingsB. spellingC. meaningsD. pronunciation24.. How many important things will most dictionaries tell you?A. FourB. FiveC. ThreeD. TwoBEverybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up（设定）his alarm clock. He tried to shave quickly and cut himself .when he got blood all over his clean shirt, he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨烫），so he ironed it . While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（电表）.He showed him where the meter was, said goodbye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn‟t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry‟s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw th e blood on Harry‟s shirt and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o‟clock in the afternoon before the policeman was sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.25. Harry had_____A. a lucky dayB. an unlucky dayC. a busy dayD. a good day26. Why did Harry wear the shirt with blood on it?A.He had only one shirtB. The only other needed ironingC.

However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and this is harmful to people‟health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf today. However, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（编织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and pop music is a kind of noise, Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise problems.28. The text is mainly about ______.A. air pollutionB. water pollutionC. noise pollutionD. world pollution29. According to the text, a continuous noise of _____decibels can make people deaf.A. less than 85B. less than 65C. about 65D. more than 8530. Ten percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because ______.A. they are working in noisy placesB. they often listen to pop musicC. they are busy in listening to other‟s talkD. they live near airports31. The government of China is trying to solve ______.A. only air pollutionB. only air and water pollutionC. only water pollutionD. air, water and noise pollutionDThe Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” producedby small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (联欢晚会), a copy of the25-year-old tr aditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year‟s Eve.“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates(模仿) something famous.In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird‟s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.A literature critic （批评家）said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, …Shanzhai‟ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.32. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.A. fake cell-phoneB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympic buildings33. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.A. the action that a person imitatesfamous peopleB. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that imitates something famousD. those similar names to famous brands(品牌)34. We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.A. is held back by “Shanzhai” cultureB. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” cultureC. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” cultureD. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. “Shanzhai” culture will surely disappearB. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its ownC. “Shanzhai” culture — the mainstream cultureD. “Shanzhai” culture — the mountain village cultureE第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017年长郡中学高二英语分班考试试题及参考答案
高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However,that never seems to happen.She has nightmares,which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage,President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，”Lawrence told Reuters.Fastpaced and full of action,Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in2012.With a97percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes,it is enjoying positive reviews.Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins.The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence,who won a best actress Oscar this year for her2012movie Silver Linings Playbook,has helped Catching Fire find success,Forbes pointed out.The23yearold actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s downtoearth personality in real life won the hearts of the public.So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away,a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers,the sequel(续集)was always going to be big，”Forbes noted.1．The underlined word“dampen”in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to“________”．A．hold B．lightC．reduce D．support2．Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A．Every year12teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B．Despite having won the74th Hunger Games,Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C．Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D．Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first The Hunger Gamesmovie.3．What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a．The previous film was successful.b．It is true to the original book’s story.c．Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d．It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A．abc B．abdC．acd D．bcd4．In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A．Beautiful Mind.B．Campus Trends.C．Culture Discovery.D．Society.BSometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives.What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you’re engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can’t vote when neither can you?It matters a lot, as it so happens!In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives,most of the time without us even realising it.To see this effect in action,make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community.When patterns emerge,you’ll be glad you did.Have you ever heard about the Butterfly Effect?You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps(拍打)its wings somewhere,a storm is created somewhere else.If you don’t believe it,have a look at these examples:Drought makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights rises very quickly.Civil war increases the number of refugees(难民).A change in national government causes your local school to change its meals.So you are supposed to track the news.Keep up with current affairs by:Buying newspapers; reading the news online;watching daily news bulletins;exploring news and current affairs magazines.It is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life,no matter where or how you live it.The only way to take back some control is to get involved.You don’t have to plan to be the next Prime Minister,but if you are concerned about something,do something about it.Consider:Voting with your money and only purchasing products you believe in.Volunteering for a cause you support.Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time;it is something for which you make time.Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making,but many of us let television,games,chats and other silly behaviors or attitudes get in the way.Make sure to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news,exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feeling known.5．According to the first paragraph,many people________.A．don’t care much for events in the local communityB．are not aware of the effects of the current affairsC．find it hard to develop the habit of reading newspapersD．are unwilling to share their views on current affairs6．According to Paragraph2,which of the following is the Butterfly Effect?A．Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.B．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.C．The greater the expectation placed on people,the better they perform.D．The tiniest influence on one part can have a huge effect on another.7．In Paragraph4,the author encourages readers to________.A．find out the hidden secrets of current affairsB．take part in activities related to current affairsC．develop a good understanding of politicsD．care more about political events than before8．What could be the best title of this text?A．Keeping Up with Current AffairsB．Paying Attention to the Butterfly EffectC．Great Effect of Current AffairsD．Several Tips on Tracking the NewsCIt is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irishborn writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues,not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight(苦难)of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system —Shaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play，Widowers’Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum(贫民窟)housing.His Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893)brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society,which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder(in1895)of one of the now most famous colleges in the world,the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time,many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学)in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”9．Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from______.A．the changes he brought to the British cultureB．his philosophies on the role of governmentC．his awareness of social problems of his dayD．the support for the London School of Economics10．Widowers’Houses is a play that mainly focuses on______.A．the failure of the UK education systemB．the housing problems of poor peopleC．robbery incidents in slum areasD．socialist movements in the UK11．By describing Shaw’s quotations as“part of the furniture of the English language”，the author means that Shaw’s words______.A．have become the best part of EnglishB．have greatly developed the English languageC．have made the English language philosophicalD．have become an inseparable part of the English language12．Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?A．They should be adapted for modern readers.B．They are mostly about the lives of working class.C．They deal with important social issues of their day.D．Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.DAfter many years on the endangered list of animals,Japan’s Amami rabbit can finally breathe a sigh of relief—that’s because this year,the rare animal is no longer in danger of dying out!The effort to save the darkfurred rabbit often referred to as a living fossil began in1921, when the Japanese government promoted it to the status of“natural monument”.This meant that it could not be hunted down for food.However,when that did not work,it got yet another promotion to“special natural monument”，which meant that the rabbit could not be trapped or hunted.While that helped,it was not enough—by2004with only between2,000—5,000 specimens(样本)left in the wild,the Amami rabbit was officially declared endangered!The reason for the severe population decline was attributed to loss of habitat caused by forest clearing for home and agriculture use and the introduction of a new invasive species not native to the island—mongoose(獴).Brought in to get rid of the snake population,the animals instead seemed to prefer the black rabbit.In2005,the government issued a strict mongoose capture order and slowly but surely,the rabbits started to come back.The rabbit lives a rather unusual lifestyle.Its ideal habitat is a forest that features both trees and large grasses—the former to find acorns(橡实)to feed on and the latter,to hide its babies. That’s because to protect them from being eaten by predators,the Amami rabbit buries them deep into the ground among the grasses and covers them up with dirt during the day.Then,in the middle of the night,still keeping a vigilant eye out for predators,it digs them out from their hiding place and feeds them.No wonder the animal is sometimes referred to as“midnight rabbit”．Though many measures have been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit for foodD．you can’t trap or hunt the darkfurred rabbit14．Why was the rabbit still in danger after it was promoted to“special natural monument”？A．Because it was always eaten by snakes.B．Because people still wanted to capture it for food.C．Because the rabbit lived a rather unusual lifestyle.D．Because of loss of habitat and a new invasive species.15．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4in the passage?A．watchful B．goodC．fearful D．shiny16．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Many officials don’t pay attention to rare species.B．Rare black Amami rabbits are no longer endangered.C．Saving the endangered species has a long way to go.D．The measures taken to protect the rabbit were in vain.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was young,I had a friend named Mark who loved to make

高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However,that never seems to happen.She has nightmares,which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage,President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，”Lawrence told Reuters.Fastpaced and full of action,Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in2012.With a97percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes,it is enjoying positive reviews.Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins.The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence,who won a best actress Oscar this year for her2012movie Silver Linings Playbook,has helped Catching Fire find success,Forbes pointed out.The23yearold actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s downtoearth personality in real life won the hearts of the public.So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away,a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers,the sequel(续集)was always going to be big，”Forbes noted.1．The underlined word“dampen”in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to“________”．A．hold B．lightC．reduce D．support2．Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A．Every year12teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B．Despite having won the74th Hunger Games,Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C．Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D．Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first The Hunger Gamesmovie.3．What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a．The previous film was successful.b．It is true to the original book’s story.c．Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d．It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A．abc B．abdC．acd D．bcd4．In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A．Beautiful Mind.B．Campus Trends.C．Culture Discovery.D．Society.BSometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives.What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you’re engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can’t vote when neither can you?It matters a lot, as it so happens!In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives,most of the time without us even realising it.To see this effect in action,make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community.When patterns emerge,you’ll be glad you did.Have you ever heard about the Butterfly Effect?You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps(拍打)its wings somewhere,a storm is created somewhere else.If you don’t believe it,have a look at these examples:Drought makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights rises very quickly.Civil war increases the number of refugees(难民).A change in national government causes your local school to change its meals.So you are supposed to track the news.Keep up with current affairs by:Buying newspapers; reading the news online;watching daily news bulletins;exploring news and current affairs magazines.It is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life,no matter where or how you live it.The only way to take back some control is to get involved.You don’t have to plan to be the next Prime Minister,but if you are concerned about something,do something about it.Consider:Voting with your money and only purchasing products you believe in.Volunteering for a cause you support.Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time;it is something for which you make time.Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making,but many of us let television,games,chats and other silly behaviors or attitudes get in the way.Make sure to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news,exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feeling known.5．According to the first paragraph,many people________.A．don’t care much for events in the local communityB．are not aware of the effects of the current affairsC．find it hard to develop the habit of reading newspapersD．are unwilling to share their views on current affairs6．According to Paragraph2,which of the following is the Butterfly Effect?A．Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.B．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.C．The greater the expectation placed on people,the better they perform.D．The tiniest influence on one part can have a huge effect on another.7．In Paragraph4,the author encourages readers to________.A．find out the hidden secrets of current affairsB．take part in activities related to current affairsC．develop a good understanding of politicsD．care more about political events than before8．What could be the best title of this text?A．Keeping Up with Current AffairsB．Paying Attention to the Butterfly EffectC．Great Effect of Current AffairsD．Several Tips on Tracking the NewsCIt is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irishborn writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues,not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight(苦难)of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system —Shaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate.

been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit for foodD．you can’t trap or hunt the darkfurred rabbit14．Why was the rabbit still in danger after it was promoted to“special natural monument”？A．Because it was always eaten by snakes.B．Because people

They cleaned up the river as part of a week-long environmental camp. Like 1 in 3 American rivers, this river is so polluted that it s unsafe for swimming and fishing. Still, Susan, who has just completed her third summer on the river cleanup, sees a change in this river. Environmental scientists praise the teenagers for removing garbage that can harm wild life. Water birds, for example, can choke on plastic bottle rings and get cut by broken metal. When the cleanup started, garbage was everywhere. But this year the teenagers had to hunt for it in their boats. By the end of the six-hour shift, they had removed enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks. “Garbage in the river makes people begin to care about environmental issues,” Susan says. She hopes that when others read that she and her peers care enough to clean it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage into the river.试题答案1~5BBBCA6~10BCAAA11~15BBACC16~20BABAC21~24DADA25~28ABCC29~32BACC33~35DAC36.traveling / travelling37.countries38.distant39.to have40.were fed41.was eating42.but43.himself44.who / that45.to46.I am 17 years old and I have a problem.47.We have been best friends since childhood.48.上周,我们和另外一个学校有一场重要的比赛。

Her family agreed on the operation.“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May, and was unable to talk or chew properly. Such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face.The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants,Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity to foreign tissue.Teams in France, the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a realityThere was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral（道德的）and ethical(伦理的)issues. Little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.46. The best title for the passage would be ________.A. First Face Transplant Opens DebateB. French Woman has First Partial FaceTransplantC. A Complete Face Transplant of a French WomanD. Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant47. Which of the following is NOT one of the risks of the operation?A. Heart damage.B. Organ rejectionC. Block of blood vessels.D. Side effect of the drugs48. What can we learn about the operation?A. There has arisen a debate about the operation.B. The woman had used the dead woman' s whole face.C. The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.D. Such transplants have been performed by doctors.BThe largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013mand 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for theprojects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”49. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia ?A. They were introduced there by sailors accidentally.B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were attracted there by wildlife.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.50. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.51. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _________.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.D. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.52. What can we infer from the passage?.A. Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife.B. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achievements.D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on Campbell Island.CAustralia has promised to introduce the most comprehensive （全面的）carbon trading program outside Europe in 2010. The government in Canberra plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least five percent by 2020, but it could make bigger reductions if other countries agree to tougher targets.The Australian government warns that without tough environmental measures the country could lose key industries and jobs. Climate Change Minister Penny Wong says the economy is under threat and decisive action is needed.Central to the government’s climate change plan is a carbon emissions trading p rogram that will be introduced within two years. It would involve one thousand of the nation’s biggest companies and would cover about three-quarters of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.Many scientists believe that greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, contribute to global warming. Many of them are released by burning fuels such as coal and oil.Companies will be required to buy permits for each ton of carbon they emit, although big polluting exporters will receive up to 90 percent of their carbon licenses free.Many business leaders want the government to delay the plan because of the current global financial crisis, which is slowing the Australian economy. Peter Anderson from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says it is irresponsible to bring in a carbon trading plan now. Environmentalists, on the other hand, say Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has not properly addressed the threat of climate change. Activists had sought a minimum emissions cut of 25 percent. Instead, the Rudd government aims to cuts carbon emissions by at least five percent of 2000 levels by 2020. That amount could rise to 15 percent, if future global agreements set such a target.Ray Nias of the environmental group WWF says Australia will pay the price for lo w targets. “This is a deeply, deeply disappointing target,” Nias said. “It commits Australia to long-term climate change. It will make Australia’s ability to negotiate (协商) global agreements very, very difficult. It is much lower than even we had imagined.”Australia has one of the highest per-person greenhouse emissions rates in the world because of its reliance on coal for electricity.Some scientists warn that the vast, dry Australian continent, which has been suffering a series of droughts in recent yea rs, could be one of the region’s hardest hit by global warming.53. Which group supports to cut carbon emissions by at least 25%?A. EnvironmentalistsB. The governmentC. Business leadersD. Scientists54. Who most probably agrees to a higher goal of carbon emissions?A. Penny WongB. Peter AndersonC. Kevin RuddD. Ray Nias55. Many business leaders are against the Australian program because________.A. they believe the program will only benefit the big companiesB. they believe the program will cause the global warmingC. they don’t want to pay extra money for carbon emissionsD. they don’t think carbon emission will surely cause the global warming56. The underlined sentence means_________.A. The Australian government will be blamed for the low targetB. Australia will suffer a lot from climate change caused by carbon emissionsC. The Australian government will have to spend lots of money on carbon emissionsD. Many Australian companies will close down because of the low targetDThere was good news last week for people who struggle to get eight hours of sleep a night: they may not need so much shut-eye after all.Researchers from UCLA and elsewhere looked at sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia — groups with pre-industrial lifestyles whose sleep patterns are believed to reflect those of ancient humans. The researchers found that, on average, members of each group sleep a bit less than six and a half hours a night.The study, published in the academic journal Current Biology, indicates that “natural” sleep is less than eight hours a night and that modern society’s numerous electronic distractions (分心) aren’t necessarily to blame for people getting just six or seven hours of sleep.“The story that often gets out is that if you sleep for less than seven hours, you’re going to die early,” he told me. “That’s not true.”Yet Americans are addicted to getting more sleep — and on turning to medical shortcuts to help them.According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as 70 million U.S. adults suffer from sleep disorders or sleeplessness. Only a third of Americans get the government’s recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night.About 9 million American adu lts use sleeping pills to help get a good night’s rest, the CDC found. Siegel said the number of people relying on medicines “has gone up rather rapidly since then.”Industry consulting firm GlobalData estimates that worldwide sales for sleeplessness medicines will run about $1.4 billion next year and reach $1.8 billion by 2023, recovering from lower sales in recent years because of cheaper generics(仿制药) hitting the market.Dr. Roy Artal, a sleep specialist in West Los Angeles, said it’s understandable that busy people in today’s go-go world would turn to medicines to speed up the sleep process. But all they’re doing is building a reliance on powerful drugs for relatively little improvement.“There’s no magic pill that makes us sleep when we want and wake up when we want,” Artal said. “The effects of sleeping pills tend to be modest.”He and other experts say the answer to sleeplessness isn’t to be found in a pill bottle. It’s in what’s called “sleep hygiene (保健).”57. The research on sleep habits of remote hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia shows that ________.A. They have a lack of sleep because of their bad lifestyleB. “natural” sleep may be less than eight hours a nightC. Modern electronic products cause the sleeplessnessD. Pre-industrial lifestyles will be helpful to a better sleep58. Jerome Siegel believes that ________.A. We need to take sleeping pills to improve sleepB. Modern electronic products do harm to a good sleepC. Those who sleep for less than 7 hours will die earlyD. There is nothing wrong with a 6 or 7 hours’ sleep59. The underlined word “modest” probably means ________.A. obviousB. awfulC. smallD. large60. The main idea of this passage is that_________.A. People may not need eight hours of sleep a night.B. people need sleeping pills to have a good sleepC. sleeping pills have a long way to go for sleep improvementD. Sleeping pill industry will suffer great losses from the new discovery四、任务型阅读（共10分，每题1分）What is eco-fashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashion —‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’．Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides；sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming；synthetics-making (人造纤维生产) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly，every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy，and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this，there is a lot of waste produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly，growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.Then，how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree，it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.There is some concern that eco friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organicfood products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.五、翻译句子（共10分，每题2分）71. 他们认为那是违背科学精神的。

I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “ I don’t want your money. I just want you to help me find the post office.”In a moment, I realized what I had done. I judged another person simply for what I英语试题第 9 页共 37 页guessed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident reawakened my belief in humility（谦恭）,even though I’d lost it for a moment.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant(移民). I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, serious-minded mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other humble jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice（偏见）. I remember a time, at the age of 17- I worked as a waiter, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. I have also witnessed（当场见到）the same英语试题第 10 页共 37 页treatment of my family and friends, so I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.But now, living in my A American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washingtoin, D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open. By the way, I helped that lady to the post office. And in writing this article, I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. The author regretted his act of prejudice.B. The blind woman needed the money badly.C. The author was as poor as the blind woman.D. The author was a native American25. According to Paragraph 4, hearing the father’s words, the author was probably .A. very excitedB. deeply movedC. greatly inspiredD. rather hurt26. Which opinion does the author probably agree with?A.

One should be nice to the elderly and thedisabled.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. How my dream comes trueB.A belief that will never changeC. A priceless lesson on the streetD. Learn from your pastCRobots and humans will soon be living in harmony（和睦）. A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the abilityto find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious(有意识的) creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections at result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are facedwith two challenges(挑战). Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s r obot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella;s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.28. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.B. Copying a human singer’s movements and sounds.C. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.D. Living with human beings in harmony.29. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 5 could be replaced by ““.A. worriedB. certainC. concernedD. doubtful30. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They can talk with researchers.B. They are faced with two challenges.C. They will become human singers.D. They are household robots.31. What can be concluded(推断出) from the text?A. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.B. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.C. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.D. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.DThere are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外部的，表面的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．By contrast , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts(路标) or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and th eir caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear cancause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．32. In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．A. grow up from his own achievementsB. aim high and reach his goal each timeC. face difficulties and take up challengesD. succeed in climbing up the social ladder33. For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ______．A. staying away from failures andchallengesB. being quick in self-adaptationC. having an open mind to new experiencesD. being curious about more changes34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. It is not so difficult to measure personal growth．B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is avoidable．C. There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．35.The best title for this passage should be ______．A. Overcoming Internal FearsB. Two Basic Ways of GrowthC. Growth—Product or ProcessD. Facing New Challenges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。

AThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job seekers can look up the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new jobs each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called WhatColorisYourParachute? by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in 1970.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.

To start with, the Telenoid will be trained to follow the moveme nts and simple sounds made by a huma n sin ger, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these conn ecti ons to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious（有意识的）creature should be able to go a step further and in troduce new connections at result in the creati on of someth ing n ew.Some jazz musicia ns say that they should have a men tal library of musical phrases so that they are able to comb ine them in new ways.

But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella ' s robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella;s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.28. Which of the following is the robot ' s first step before it tries to create jazz?A.

People have gen erally viewed personal growth as an exter nal （夕卜部的，表面的）result or a product that can easily be identified and measured . The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new Ianguage—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts .By con trast , the process of pers onal growth is much more difficult to determ ine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts（路标）or Iandmarks along the way . The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feeli ngs people have , and th eir cauti on or courage, as theymeet with new experiences and unexpe cted difficulti es. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experienee the world, new ideas to try, new challe nges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “ fail af'first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow . Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to un familiar experie nces . Do we thi nk we ' re slaynd in decisive?

Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all .These feeli ngs of in security and self-doubt are both un avoidable and n ecessary if we are to change and grow . If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped in side a shell of our own making .32.
