2020年浙江省温州市联考高二(下)期中英语试卷
期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AAt first，Michael Surrell didn't see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors' home．Then they got a call from one of his daughters："The house next door is on fire!" He went over and saw three women crying madly on their porch （门廊）．"The baby's in the second floor!" one of the women cried．Though the fire department had been called，Surrell，then 64，bravely ran inside．"The baby" was Tiara Roberts，the woman's granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell's three youngest kids．Entering the burning house was like "running into a bucket of black paint，" Surrell says．The thick smoke caused him to stumble blindly around，burned his eyes，and made it impossible to breathe．The conditions would have been dangerous for anyone，but for Surrell，who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（慢性阻塞性肺病），they were life-threatening．Taking a deep breath，he moved around in the overwhelming darkness．Because the house had a similar layout to his，he found the stairs and made it to the second floor．Then he heard a soft but clear moan．Still unable to see，Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor．He crawled toward the sound，feeling around for any sign of the girl．Finally，he touched something．A shoe，then an ankle．He pulled Tiara toward him，scooped her into his arms and stood．Turning，he fought through the smoke and ran blindly into the blackness…Surrell woke up in the hospital a couple of days later and spent over a week in the hospital．Tiara was released from the hospital after a few days．The fire worsened Surrell's pulmonary condition，and he feels the effects even two years later．As a result，he takes extra medication that helps open his airways．"It's a small price to pay，" he says．"I'd do it again in a heartbeat．I wouldn't give it a second thought．"1.Which of the following statements is true according to the story？______A. Tiara Roberts was the Surrell's youngest granddaughter．B. Surrell was familiar with the structure of the burning house．C. Surrell ran into the fire before the fire department was called．D. The fire was life-threatening for Surrell，mostly considering his age．2.What does the underlined word " overwhelming" probably mean？______A. Normal．B. Unexpected．C. Mild．D. Extreme．3.Judging by the story，which words best describe Surrell's personality？______A. Humorous and patient．B. Outgoing and intelligent．C. Warm-hearted and selfless．D. Determined and ambitious．BAfter years of trying，our neighbors convinced my parents that ice fishing would be a fun winter getaway from our dairy farm．Before that，their idea of entertainment involved driving around the countryside to see how the neighbors' crops were doing．My parents eventually built a fish house and set it up on Wood Lake．We excitedly headed for the lake on many January and February weekends．By the time we arrived at our favorite fishing spot across the lake each day，somebody had usually made a clear path across the ice．The fish houses were together at the best fishing spots，forming some kind of aneighborhood．Our house was large enough so all four of us could fish at the same time．Each corner had a square cut out of the floor．We sat in comfort．You'd think ice fishing would be cold，but we had a small woodstove （木炉）inside，and we put snow around the bottom of the house to keep the wind from blowing underneath．Besides the thrill of watching your bobber （钓鱼浮标）dip below the water，lunch was always the highlight of the day．Mom would fry pork or hamburgers in a pan．The smell of cooking meat was the envy of every other fish house in the neighborhood．Our days passed with a mix of quiet time and family chatter．We talked about the farm or school．And of course，we shared fishing advice．Part of the fun of ice fishing was learning to understand and trust the sounds of the frozen lake．Healthy ice "talks" as it freezes and shifts．You could often hear the sound of a crack traveling through the ice．People who have never tried ice fishing may not think it sounds very exciting，but it was for us．Fishing trips were an adventure．We didn't always catch fish，but we always brought home great memories of a day with family and friends．4.Which is true about entertainment for the author's family before the fishing trips？______A. They enjoyed visiting the countryside．B. They had little choice for entertainment．C. They preferred to take care of their farm．D. They loved to do research on growing crops．5.Why did the author put snow around the bottom of the fish house？______A. To protect the fish house．B. To follow an old local tradition．C. To block the wind underneath．D. To sit in a comfortable position．6.What can be inferred from the text？______A. The author's mom was not quite interested in cooking．B. The author's family shared fishing advice with each other．C. The author considered those trips enjoyable and meaningful．D. The author's family usually fished alone，far from the crowd．CI have a pair of pants．Tell me：How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use？Now imagine you're Lady Gaga．Bill Gates．A scuba diver．An architect．You still have the pants．What other uses come to mind？What you just practiced-the conscious act of "wearing" another self-is an exercise that，according to psychiatrist Srini Pillay，MD，is essential to being creative．One problem about our understanding of creativity is that we tend to connect it to our concept of self：Either we're "creative" or we aren't，without much of a middle ground．"I'm just not a creative person!" a frustrated student might say in art class．Dr．Pillay，an assistant professor at Harvard University，has spent a good part of his career challenging these ideas．He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to reject the old advice that urges you to "believe in yourself．" In fact，you should do the opposite：Believe you are someone else．Dr．Pillay points to a 2016 study where the authors - educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar-divided their college-student subjects into three groups，instructing one group to think of themselves as "poets" and another to imagine they were "librarians" （thethird group was the control）．The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects，including a fork，a carrot，and a pair of pants，and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one．Those who were asked to imagine themselves as poets came up with the widest range of ideas，whereas those in the librarian group had the fewest．Meanwhile，the researchers found only small differences in students' creativity levels across academic majors．In fact，the physics majors pretending to be poets came up with more ideas than the art majors did．These results，write Dumas and Dunbar，suggest that creativity is not an individual trait but a "product of context and perspective．" Everyone can be creative，as long as he or she feels like a creative person．7.What is Dr．Pillay's attitude to the findings of the 2016 study？______A. Supportive．B. Doubtful．C. Neutral．D. Critical．8.Why does the author mention the physics majors had more ideas than the art majors in theexperiment？______A. To prove that physics can help develop creativity．B. To emphasize that creativity had little to do with majors．C. To show that poets are really more imaginative than librarians．D. To imply that physics majors are more creative than art majors．9.Regarding creativity，which of the following statements will the author most likely agreewith？______A. I am born to be uncreative．B. I shall become creative when I grow up．C. I have to learn poetry to be creative．D. I can be a creative person if I feel like one．10.Which of the following is the best title for the article？______A. Want to be creative？Just pretend!B. How many ways can I use a pair of pants？C. What is the mystery of creativity？D. Everything we knew about creativity is wrong!二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The cane toad （海蟾蜍）was imported to Australia in 1935 to protect sugarcane crops．(1) Experts estimate that there are currently over 200 million samples spread across Northern Australia，and the numbers are only growing．The increasing population is proving to be deadly for many native Australian animal species that hunt the toads as food．(2) ．While some animals have learned to completely avoid the frogs，the Australian monitor lizards continue to be killed by them．The lizards that catch small animals love eating cane toads．(3) It takes the cane toad less than 30 seconds to release enough poison to kill a lizard．(4) They decided to train the lizards to avoid the cane toads．To carry out the idea they went toa region of northwestern Australia that had not yet been invaded by cane toads and fed the wild lizards with young cane toads．Though the smaller animals release the same poison as the adults，they do so in smaller amounts．(5) The researchers say it took just one or two tests to teach the lizards to stay away from cane toads．They continued to avoid the animals even when the larger cane toads arrived．A．Not surprisingly，their population has dropped sharply．B．Unfortunately，in most cases，it turns out to be their last meal．C．With very few natural enemies，their population began to grow rapidly．D．Now a team of researchers came up with a good plan to save the lizards．E．Gradually，the lizards learned to eat only the mildly poisonous cane toads．F．Therefore，while the poison does make the lizards sick，it does not kill them．G．That's because cane toads release some deadly poison when they sense danger．11.

total stranger．I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage． After the purchase inone of the large， fancy， expensive shops， I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead．I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage， which was notcheap at all， if she could ring the number of my driver for me． She replied， still all smiles， "I'm sorry Sir， but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop．"As I was wondering what kind of policy that was， I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me． Remembering my wife's interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you're in trouble， I thought I might have a chance． But before I could say a word， he walked past me． It turned out he simply didn't see me．I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me． Disap pointed and tired， I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front． I stood there wit h people rushing by， looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on thei r face． I began wondering how many times I had reacted to

If you bend over, the muscles in your lower back can become hurt easily. If you keep your back and hips straight, the muscles are stronger, because they have much more support. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.As you squat down, try to get close to the object as possible. For example, if you are going to pick up a heavy box, squat down directly in front of it.Maybe you will have to spread your knees and legs. Put one knee on each side of the box. Rememberat all times to keep your back straight.Put your hands under the object that is in front of you, between your knees.To lift the object, you should stand up slowly. Use your muscles in order to stand up. In other words,lift with your legs, not with your back.36.

The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves.The size and location(分布) of the world’s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 years, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria Mauritania is plantinga similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum (石油) on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles(摩托车) keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.40.

I never saw my father stay home from work ill, nor did I ever see my father lay down to take a nap. He had no hobbies, other than taking care of his family. All he asked from me, his daughter, was to help him while he was repairing something, so we could have some time to talk. For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me at 9:00 am every Sunday. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days in the 80-degree Kansas heat, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea. Five years ago, at age 71, my father spent five hours putting together a swing set for my daughter. Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-foot Colorado Blue Spruce （云杉） in his truck, so that we could have a part of Colorado growing on our land.On the morning of January 16, 2018, my sister telephoned me; my father was in the hospital with an aneurysm（动脉瘤） in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way I realized that I hadn’t communicated with him as much as I’d always wanted to. I vowed（发誓） that when I arrived, I would have a long talk with him. I arrived in Florida at 1 am, only to find that my father, at the age of 76, had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.44. From the first paragraph we can infer that the author’s father ______.A. was a good driverB. was in good healthC. sometimes fell illD. had no hobbies45. The underli ned phrase “other than” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “______”.A. exceptB. includingC. withoutD. due to46.

The author wrote the article in order to ______.A. praise her fatherB. remember her fatherC. show her father loved herD. let her father be knownDCooking lessons are back on the menu in schools because a generation （代）of parents don’t know how to cook. Children are to be taught how to cook healthy dishes in hands-on lessons in school in the UK. The new plan is being supported by many famous people, including celebrity (名人) cook Galton Blackiston.He said, “It is a wonderful idea that cooking sho uld be a basic skill learned by everyone, particularly students. One of the biggest problems I find is that there are many parents who weren’t taught the basic skills. There seems to have been a generation gap, so to have an action like this seems great.”Pupils aged between 11 and 16 will be awarded a “license to cook” when they have masteredbasic skills like baking cakes or making ordinary dishes. Right now, students can only learn cooking skills as part of Design and Technology lessons, but the lessons are mostly theory- based. Food such as fatty meat, cakes and plates of fried chips are off the school dinner menu. Chocolate, crisps and soft drinks are banned（禁止）, and so is fast food. Nutrition guides banning meals high in salt and fat have been introduced by cook Jamie Oliver. Schoolchildren are encouraged to eat more fruit and vegetables with every meal.48. Cooking lessons are to be taught in the UK because ______.A. British people like eating nice dishesB. many parents don’t know how to cookC. many famous people support the actionD. British pupils want to learn how to cook49. What does Galton Blackiston think of cooking?A. It’s unnecessary to learn cooking at a young age.B. It’s unnecessary to learn cooking in special lessons.C. It’s necessary for students to learn cooking.D. It’s hard to learn cooking well.50. When a student aged 12 has mastered basic cooking skills, ______.A. he will be praised by his teachers and parentsB. he will be awarded a “license to cook”C. it will be easy for him to succeed in high schoolD. he will find a job easily when he grows up51.

Host family accommodation: Living with a US family can be a cost-effective alternative to university housingFinancial options: leans and aid Loans（贷款）: Some financial institutions loans to international students. Financial aid: Certain universities provide financial assistance to international students.Practical budgeting Home cooking: Preparing meals at home is more economical than dining out. •Second-hand purchases: Choose used books and fumiture to save on expenses •Public transportation: Take buses and trains instead of owning a car for more cost-effective travel.(1) What is an advantage in guaranteeing scholarships?A. A great gift in art.B. Excellent academic performance.C. Active participation in class activities.D. A good command of using search engines.(2) Based on the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Community college fees are relatively high.B. Owning a car is the cheapest way to get around.C. International students have access to financial aid in some universities.D. On-campus accommodation costs much less than living with a host family.(3) Which section of a newper may the text come from?A. Education.B. Economy.C. Transportation.D. Travel.2、 B Are you an "I person" or an "E person"? These two personality labels in particular are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 personalities in all, of which "I" and "E" refer to "introverted" and "extroverted", respectively. Even if someone is typically quiet, many online discussions suggest that an "I person" can still act outgoing at times. For example, when an introverted person is with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an "E" person. According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called "masking". That is hiding your true personality in specific situations. "Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so, " wrote the MasterClass website. Thinking on this, I may actually be the kind of person that these people are discussing. Most times, I just wish to make the atmosphere more interesting and exciting and show people that I'm easy to get along with. But deep down, I mostly enjoy being alone and quiet Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone's personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that a "P person" doesn't like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, "You don't seem like a "Pperson'". "Why? " she asked back. "Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do? " It was then that I realized that I'd taken the result too seriously. The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-breaker question when meeting new friends. And that's all it is-for fun. Knowing someone's MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person.(1) An “I person" tends to ___.A. reflect on problems aloneB. enjoy gatherings with friendsC. be active in social situationsD. try to chat with complete strangers(2) Why does an "I person" act like an "E person" sometimes?A. Because he/she wants to be like others.B. Because he/she needs a sense of belonging.C. Because he/she dislikes to embarrass others.D. Because he/she is actually an "person" deep inside.(3) What does the writer mean by saying "I went too far" in paragraph 5?A. She pushed her sister too much.B. She failed to help her sister follow her plan.C. She believed blindly the result of the personality test.D. She discouraged her sister to make a detailed travel plan.(4) What does the writer think about the MBTI?A. It is supposed to be strictly followed.B. It tells you everything about your personality.C. It's an interesting way to start a chat with a stranger.D. It's a reliable approach to telling what type of people a person belongs to.3、 C When opening certain mobile apps, users often find disruptive （有干扰性的） open-app advertisements that impact their experience. Open-app advertisements are advertisements that appear in between contents or during transition screens, such as when an app is loading the next page. Some ofthese advertisements can redirect users to another app if the phone is shaken, causing a lot of frustration for consumers. These open-app advertisements function as gateways and become more common during online shopping festivals, redirecting users to shopping platforms such as Taobao and JD. Most smartphones have a gyroscope sensor （陀螺仪传感器） to detect shaking, leading to unintentional redirection. Many users not only find it annoying to find themselves on an advertisements page, but also have trouble disabling the gyroscope feature since sometimes their phones lack the choice to do so to avoid this issue. In response, authorities have introduced detailed regulations on shaking advertisements gateways. A regulation published in December 2022 outlines specific rules for the design of "shake-to-open" advertisements. It says that these advertisements can only be "clicked through" if the phone's rotation angle exceeds 35 degrees, with an action time longer than three seconds. Additionally, in February, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology emphasized that pop-up or open-app advertisements should not disrupt users' experiences. A regulation introduced in May states that advertisements must include a clear button for users to close them. Government enforcement of these regulations presents challenges, as the number of apps and developers is great. However, this should not be an exeuse for internet platforms to break the rules, as this behavior causes far more harm than good. A survey by the Jiangsu Consumer Council showed that over 90 percent of users strongly dislike open-app advertisements, feeling that their rights are being threatened. While these advertisements might lead to more clicks, the fact is that the advertisements may harm the credibility of the platforms that the advertisements lead to and weaken the users' willingness to use the platforms. Platforms can achieve a mutually beneficial （互惠互利） solution only if they respect users' choices and provide suitable advertisements that users are wiling to accept.(1) What does the first paragraph mainly talk about concerning open-app ads?A. The benefits of open-app ads for online shopping platforms.B. The lack of regulations governing traditional advertising methods.C. The effectiveness of open-app ads in increasing users' engagement.D. The negative impact of disruptive open-app ads on users' experience.(2) What was regulated in December 2022 about "shake-to-open" ads?A. They can be clicked through without any restrictions.B. They can only be clicked through on certain conditions.C. They should have a clear button for users to close them.D. They should appear for only three seconds on the screen.(3) How can platforms reach a win-win solution as mentioned in the last paragraph?A. By ignoring users' choices.B. By respecting users' preferences.C. By presenting more irrelevant ads.D. By flooding users with more profitable ads.(4) What is the best title of the passage?A. The Preferences of Shopping Platforms.B. The Challenges of Online Shopping Festivals.C. The Role of Advertisements in Improving Users' Experience.D. The Battle against Disruptive Advertisements on Mobile Apps.4、D Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, 创伤后应激障碍) is a mental disorder that develops among people who have experienced or observed traumatic things such as wars, disasters or other violent events. At the heart of PTSD is a memory that can not be controlled. It can affect the everyday lives of its sufferers in forms such as flashbacks, nightmares and anxiety. A new study done by researchers from Yale University and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that patients with PTSD process their traumatic memories differently than regular memories. The researchers did brain scans of 28 PTSD patients. They asked the patients to listen to recorded narrations of their own memories. Some of the recorded memories were neutral, some were simply "sad", and some were traumatic. They found that when the patients listened to the "sad" memories, the hippocampus （海马体）, which is responsible for forming memories, was activated. But when they listened to the traumatic memories, a different area, called the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, 后扣带回皮质), was engaged The PCC is not a memory region. Instead, it regulates internal experiences, such as daydreaming. The more severe PTSD symptoms are, the more active the PCC is. "The brain doesn't look like it is in a state of memory, it looks like it is in a state of present experience, " Daniela Schiller, one of the authors of the study, told The New York Times. That means people with PTSD feel as though they're experiencing the traumatic event again in the present moment, rather than thinking back on it like a typical memory. The new finding might hold hope for new PTSD therapies （治疗）. Future therapies are expected to focus on helping PTSD patients returm their traumatic memories to the hippocampus so that they can treat them as regular and non-disruptive （非破坏性的） memories. Changing the ways of thinking could help the brain reduce the feeling of immediate threat caused by trauma, according to llan Harpaz-Rotem, one of the paper's authors.(1) What does the underlined word "flashbacks" in paragraph I mean?A. Rapid movements of eyes.B. Loud sound in the distance.C. Repeated upsetting memories.D. Bright lights suddenly appearing.(2) How do people with PTSD recall traumatic events according to Daniela Schiller?A. They treat them as regular memories.B. They can easily control these memories.C. They struggle to remember traumatic events clearly.D. They vividly relive traumatic events as if they are happening at present.(3) What is the author's attitude towards the new finding?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Unclear.D. Doubtful.(4) What is the purpose of the passage?A. To analyze the reasons for traumatic events.B. To inform readers of the symptoms of PTSD patients.C. To advocate patients' participation in future therapies.D. To present a research finding and its potential application.二、七选五5、 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

She has a serious letter-writing habit and keeps in contact with her favorite people. If you’ve been the receiver of her hand-decorated letters and envelopes, then I know they really make your day.A letter from Anna is likely to include some art, a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response. But when she wrote a letter to Eason, she put something new in it. “You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters. You’re very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!” Anna wrote.The next day, a package arrived with two letters. One was from Eason and the other from his superior, Sara, saying she had shared Anna’s letter in the internal newsletter (内部通讯) of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank Anna. Anna was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much, for the possible result of no reply from other mail carriers would come as a blow to her.Surprisingly, today, we saw Eason come with two boxes of letters from around the country. These letters were so human, filled with stories about family, pets and a sense of kindness. But there was something more in them. People felt seen — some for the first timein a long time. “I work alone in a small rural post office...” “Not many people think about how hard we work...” Anna wrote back seriously.I’m sharing this not because I’m a proud dad, but because it’s relatively easy, if we take the time to give others links they need to be good. We all want to be seen, known and loved. Send a letter. Give a call. Take a step of bravery, like Anna.4．Why did Anna write Eason a letter?A．To make friends with him.B．To cheer him up.C．To express her appreciation.D．To share her daily life.5．What does the underlined word “perturbed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Touched.B．Concerned.C．Moved.D．Astonished. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Anna?A．Caring and grateful.B．Energetic and ambitious. C．Courageous and generous.D．Capable and humorous.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．People should face challenges with bravery.B．People should care more about mail carriers.C．People should connect with others actively.D．People should show kindness to their parents.To write his book about world diet, nutritionist Harley Paster traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals special.He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Paster also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize (优先) eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Paster. Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Paster’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make appropriate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病). Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch— rather than fast wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Paster did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American,” said Paster. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone’s walking four miles morethan you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”8．What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?A．Naturalness.B．Flavor.C．Color.D．Variety. 9．What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets?A．Fruits and vegetables.B．Seasonal local produce.C．Olive oil and red wine.D．Unprocessed ingredients.10．What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common?A．They get the whole family to eat at a table.B．They eat their meals regularly as scheduled.C．They attach great importance to their meals.D．They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.11．Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ________.A．walk at least 4 miles a day B．consume a lot more organic food C．pay more attention to body shape D．do considerably more walkingBlack rhinos (犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these large African animals can fight against hungry lions and hyenas. With big sword-like horns, their large andthick-skinned body plan has proved to be good enough to survive in a place full of huge predators (捕食性动物). But those protective features are no match for humans with guns.Today, the species is seriously endangered largely due to illegal hunting. But the rhinos may have an unlikely partner against hunters: the red-billed oxpecker (牛椋鸟). The chatty, sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos, feasting on the ticks (虱子) on their bodies.“And actually, research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker. And if they feed on ticks, that is a good thing,” said Plotz, a behavioral ecologist. He suspected that the rhinos put up with them because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach-giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.To test whether the oxpeckers do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team placed radio transmitters (发送器) in the rhinos horns. The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time, at an average distance of 27 meters. But when oxpeckers were present, the birds warned the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they sensed the human 61 meters away on average. And the moreoxpeckers on the scene, the greater the detection distance— which means the earlier the warning.It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back, looking out for you, the more chance that you can pick up anything coming. What we think is going on, fundamentally, is that the rhino is listening to the alarm call. There can be no doubt of that. Listening to oxpecker alarm calls brings a really strong anti-human benefit.Plotz thinks the oxpeckers may have gradually changed and developed their behavior because it protects their convenient food source. And the more lookouts, the better in what seems like a win-win for both species: the birds thrive and the rhinos survive.12．What can we learn about black rhinos?A．They have terrible survival skills.B．They are almost dying out.C．They mainly feast on ticks.D．Their biggest threat is lions. 13．Why can black rhinos stand oxpeckers?A．They can sense danger with the help of the birds.B．They can do nothing about the tiresome birds.C．The birds are main food for black rhinos.D．The birds help rid rhinos of the ticks on their bodies.14．How does the author show oxpeckers’ anti-human benefit?A．By giving an example.B．By telling a story.C．By listing some data.D．By asking a question.15．What’s the text mainly about?A．The reason for black rhinos’ extinction.B．Measures possible to protect black rhinos.C．Some facts related to red-billed oxpeckers.D．A win-win for black rhinos and oxpeckers.二、七选五An escape game, is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is often to escape from the site of the game. ____16____Keep it simpleFor most escape games, even the very challenging ones with very high difficulty ratings, the puzzles and clues are surprisingly simple. They are just cleverly hidden and worded to make them appear difficult to solve. Don’t make things difficult by looking for complex solutions. ____17________18____Sometimes, the escape game creators add a puzzle to confuse players, but this hardly happens. As usual, every puzzle is important and each clue has the potential for revealing the key. Carefully analyze every puzzle you come across. Don’t ignore any, as it may be central to achieving your goal of breaking out. If worse comes to worst, ask for a clue from the game master.Think like a 4th graderEscape games can get really challenging. To break out, you need to totally bury yourself in the game. Think outside the box and motivate all your creative juices. Remember when you were a kid and you would think up all these imaginative stories and situations.____19____. Think like a 4th grader and you’ll find the game more enjoyable and the puzzles easier to solve.Experiment with useIs the honey bucket just a metal thing filled with human waste or is there a clue under it? ____20____. We get so stuck on how things are normally used that our minds refuse to think of alternative ways of using them. And just to ease your fears, no escape game will put you in a room with a bucket full of human waste. Like I mentioned earlier, use your imagination and think outside the box.A．Don’t ignore escape game puzzles.B．You need to imagine you to be a 10-year-old child.C．You’d better play the game with a child.D．More often than not, the answer is right there staring you in the face.E．There are four tips to play escape games.F．Don’t keep the excitement levels high.G．Or maybe, it can be turned upside down to use as a simple ladder.三、完形填空My 85-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November.

Woz and I started Apple in my parents’garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired.How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions(远见) of the future began to diverge(to be different) and eventually we had_______When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was destructive.I really didn’t know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous genera tion of entrepreneurs(企业家)down. I even thought about running away from the valley(硅谷). But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer animated(动画) feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple’s current renaissance.I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. So ke ep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.41．Which of the following is TRUE about Apple?A．It rejected one of its founders when he turned 30.B．It once fell apart due to different visions of the future.C．NeXT became its parent company and made a great comeback.D．It has survived after it had a destructive blow.42．The underlined phrase could be replaced by ______.A．a complete change B．a huge debtC．a quarrel D．a race43．Steve Jobs probably values _____ most according to his speech.A．patience B．faith C．inspiration D．luckSome people make art with paint, and others use pencil or clay. But Italian artist Maurizio Savini prefers to use bright pink gum—after it has been chewed.Savini makes huge sculptures of bears and even people out of used chewing gum. Each sculpture requires thousands of pieces of gum.“I like to use chewing gum because it seemed to me a material that can be used in many ways compared with those used by the conventional arts such as painting,” Savini says.How does he do it? The process is a lot like working with clay. “I work the chewing gum when it is warm and shape it with a knife,” says Savini. Then, he puts a chemical onto each gum sculpture to make the gum stay in place.Savini’s sticky art has been shown in cities like London, Pari s, and Rome, where he lives today.Savini isn’t the only artist to work with gum. His pink sculptures have inspired artists all over the world to get creative with the sticky matter.London artist Ben Wilson paints small paintings onto flat pieces of chewed gum he finds stuck to streets and sidewalks. In Canada, Jason Kronenwald uses different colored gum to make portraits of famous people.Kronenwald seldom chews gum himself. Instead, his friends help chew gum for him while he’s working. “At times it can make medisgusted, but I just pay attention to the colors I need and get the sculpture going,” he says.In America, Jamie Marraccini’s art depends on color, so he tests different kinds of gum before using them. To find out what color the chewed gum will become once hardened, he lets it age for up to six months.“I’ve created 30 works totaling more than 35,000 pieces of gum,” says Marraccini. That’s alot of gum!So think twice the next time you throw away a wad of gum. Maybe what seems like trash could actually be the beginning of a great piece of art.44．The underlined word “disgusted” in the eighth paragraph probably means ________. A．excited B．feel tired and sickC．unhappy D．energetic45．Marraccini stores the gum for six months in order to ______.A．judge how hard it will beB．know whether it is still sweetC．examine what chemicals it containsD．see what color it will become46．The best title for the passage is ________.A．Sticky sculptures B．Creative artistsC．A new form of art D．Chewing gum47．Savin i’s works of art can be seen in all the cities EXCEPT _______.A．London B．Rome C．New York D．ParisMy father’s playing the violin lights up any room. To him, it is an instrument of faith, hope and charity. My mother used to joke, “Your papa would play his violin if the world was about to blow up.”_______________________________.In the early years of the 20th century, the boll weevil (棉铃象鼻虫) began destroying the cotton farms in the southern USA．In May 1910, folks all over the nation were talking about Hal ley’s Comet (哈雷彗星). There were all sorts of frightening stories about it, the main one being that the world would pass through its tail, said to be millions of miles long.Between the threats of the comet and weevils, the farmers were running low on optimism. One night, they gathered at our farm to discuss what to do. Will Bowen, a local man, suggested, “Charley, how about giving us a little music?”“I don’t think anybody’d want to hear me tonight,” Dad replied.“Come on, Mr. Nordyke,” one of the younger women urged. “Play for us!”Dad got the hang of getting people in the mood for his music. He played church songs, andthen switched to war songs. By the time he had finished performing, people were stamping their feet, clapping their hands and yelling.All of our neighbors went home whistling. Very few remembered to look to see whether the comet was still around.Another evening, Will Bowen called Dad on the telephone and said, “Charley, I'm downhearted and blue. Could you play a tune or two for me thro ugh the phone?”Dad handed the receiver to me and then set about playing the songs he had performed that night. I could hear Mr. Bowen whistling and yelling.By the time the tune was finished there were half a dozen neighbors on the line. They talked about how wonderful the music sounded over the telephone. They made numerous requests; I relayed them to Dad and he played.Our broadcasts became regular features of community life. When the weather was bad in winter and farmers were forced to remain in the house, someone would ring us and ask Dadto play. Usually it developed into a network affair. Our phone kept ringing with requests for music until radio came into fashion.48．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the author’s mother ________. A．believed that her husband had the ability to save the world by playing the violin. B．complained that her husband loved the violin more than her.C．thought that her husband could always get strength from his violin.D．showed that she loved music as much as her husband49．The underlined sentence “Once Dad came about as close to that as could ever be possible.” functions as ________.A．a conclusion of the first paragraphB．an introduction of a storyC．an example of my father's love of musicD．the topic sentence of this passage50．From the last three paragraphs, we could see that Mr. Nordyke was ______. A．generous and optimistic B．popular and creativeC．sensitive and determined D．energetic and humorous51．All the following statements are FALSE except ________.A．Th e neighbors often dropped in to hear Mr. Nordyke’s performance.B．Mr. Nordyke’s music entertained and comforted people in the community.C．The farmers knew listening to music would help them avoid being destroyed by Halley’s Comet.D．At that time people loved all sorts of music deeply.四、任务型阅读The Secret Behind a Great PersonA long time ago I watched a video of Josh Groban singing Vincent. It was a beautiful song and I loved it. I got interested in what the song is about.The song is about a 19thcentury Dutch painter, Vincent van Gogh. 52．Unfortunately, he didn’t enjoy all the fame and wealth that his paintings should have brought him. He died when he was only 37 years old.At that time only a few people knew his work and even fewer appreciated it. 53． For years he had mental illness. He only sold one painting in his lifetime and badly needed financial support.Even so, he still managed to create lots of great paintings. What was it that made it possible? The answer is that he had a strong supporter, his younger brother Theo. Theo supported Vincent financially, but more importantly, he continued to believe in his brother no matter what happened. 54． I think it’s safe to say that Vincent was able to become a great artist because of this unfailing support from his brother.There is an important lesson here: never underestimate (低估) the value of a supporter. Having someone who believes in you through the difficulties makesa big difference. 55． You might not realize it, but much of what you have achieved is most likely because of your supporters.A． If you have such a supporter, express thanks to him.B． Moreover, he went through many difficulties in his life.C． His letters to Vincent were full of praise and encouragement.D． His paintings are among the most famous and expensive in the world.五、单词拼写单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分）56． When picking mushrooms, you should be careful not to touch those containinga deadly p__________.57． Shelly had prepared carefully for her driving test so that she firmly believed she could pass it at her first a___________.58．Jane was so thankful to me for my timely help that she could hardly c________ her gratitude in words.59．An even more severe law against drunk driving, a_________ at preventing serious traffic accidents, has been passed.60．It was reported that there were more than 30 earthquakes in this area last year, causing about 10 deaths and 500 i__________.61．Teaching as a career a___________ to many people because of the long holidays. 62．She was so kind as to a___________ the homeless dog.63．In order to promote their reputation, some local companies offered tos___________ the voluntary activity.64．The survey showed that the number of the students a__________ to computer games has been on the rise in recent years.65．He felt a__________ that he was caught cheating in the exam.六、提纲类作文66．假如你是李越, 你的朋友John喜欢玩网络游戏, 学习成绩明显受到影响。

( A )Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be un able to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.36. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.37. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.38. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.( B )The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:*TV makes kids stupid.Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.39.

For my happiness, I am grateful to so many people and lucky events, but what have guided me and supported me in my life are my physical health, healthy finances(财力), and my family’s happiness.Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health.Imagine starting a family without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. Clearly, good health is the first necessary for other part of one’s life.Good health is not enough to be happy. We still need to have money in today’s society. Money obviously pays for basic needs of life — food, housing, clothing —but it is also necessary for other reason like the quality of our education and medical care.Next comes the most important thing in having a happy life—our family. It provides the love, joy and support that everybody needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. My family helped me get through the hard times of entrance exams. They comforted and advised me when I had misunderstanding with my friends. More importantly, they have been there to share in my successes in the past twenty years.In summary (总结), all these are what I need and want in this world. As long as I stay healthy, earn enough money, and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.43.
