2018_2019学年高二英语上学期第一次阶段测试试题
2018-2019学年第一学期第一次阶段性考试高二年级英语试题本试卷满分为120分，考试时间100分钟第I卷（选择题共70分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur (业余) and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated (起源) in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even ear lier, though as an organized game, or "association football", it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.The nex t is rugby, which is called "football" in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or "ping-pong", surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th centuryfrom America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.1.The main purpose of Paragraph 1 is to tell us that the English _______.A．are all sports lovers B．behave like childrenC．like to kick a ball around D．can remain young all their lives2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby? A．They differ in the shape of the ball.B．They are played by different numbers of players.C．They both can be handled.D．They both can be kicked.3. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is _________. A．basketball B．tennis C．rugby D．FootballBWell, it’s time for Words and Their Stories. We present more expressions about food from Elenir Scardueli, a listener in Brazil.My mother believes you are what you eat.Then she’d always give us nutritious fo od. She likes serving us meat and potatoes,which can also mean the most important part of something. Here’s another expression about meat: one man’s meat is another man’s poison—one might like something very much while another person might hate it.My father’s a good and honest person. People say he’s the salt of the earth. He’d never pour salt on a wound,or make someone feel worse about something. However, sometimes he tells us a story that seems bigger than life. So we have to take it with a grain of salt.My husband makes enough money to support our family. So we say he brings home the bacon. He can cut the mustard(芥末), or do what is expected of him at work. Besides, he stands almost two meters tall, so it’s easy to find my husband in a crowd. He is a tall drink of water.I take the train to work. It is not a pleasant ride because the train is so crowded that we are packed like sardines(沙丁鱼).When we fail to see problems at work, my boss tells us to wake up and smell the coffee.We need to pay more attention and fix the problem.I once made a big mistake at the office and felt foolish. I had egg on my face.Over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. But I do not like football. It is not my cup of tea.We hope this has given you food for thought and stay with us next time. Thank you.4. The passage is mainly about _______.A. some idioms about foodB. words created by mumC. words and their storiesD. phrases in the kitchen5. The underlined phrase “you are what you eat” suggests that ______.A. eating plays an important partB. meat and potatoes are basicsC. rich nutrition holds the key of a mealD. a good diet is important for good health6. When you doubt something, you might ______.A. wake up and smell the coffeeB. take it with a grain of saltC. bring home the baconD. have egg on your face7. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.A. public lectureB. TV showC. radio programmeD. personal statementCThe wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping, where you hand over notes and count out change in return, now happens only in the most minor of our retailers (零售商), like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting edge(前沿的) retail stores--Victoria Beckham on Dover S treet, for instance, you don’t go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.Across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird(奇怪的) that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼睛) of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet, that time-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness, represent somethingthat matters?But I’ll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet, the way the materi als wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets, is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as a pebble(卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.8.What is happening to the wallet?A.It is disappearing.B.It is becoming costly.C.It is being fattened.D.It is changing in style.9. How are businesses done in big modern stores?A.Individually.B.In the abstract.C.Electronically.D.Via a cash register.10. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?A.Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.B.The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.C.Earning money is getting more difficult.D.Spending money is so fast and easy.11. What can we infer from the passage about the author?A.He is resistant to social changes.B.He is against technological progress.C.He feels reluctant to part with the traditional wallet.D.He feels insecure in the ever－changing modern world.DZero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to the bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to besure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant(消毒剂) pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes--with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration(过滤), used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.12. According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.A. eatingB. answering nature’s callC. sleepingD.going to the restroom13. How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.14. To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______A. a plastic bagB. a sticky stripC. a widehose D. a thigh bar15. What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts’ urine is recycled?A. The recycled water tastes better.B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.D. Space science includes recycling urine.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。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfya deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set outto do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new worl d record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since then.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantly a year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say it’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a freehotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9．How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A．more than 3 B．more than 2 C．more than 4 D．more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A．never fight with others B．never be defeated by othersC．always fight with others D．always be defeated by others 11．According to the text , he got as the world champion .A．a gold medal B．a seat beltC．hot dogs for free the whole year D．a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?”or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.12. The passage is mainly about ______.A. importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job in terviewsB. the typical questions asked in job interviewsC. some common mistakes found in job interviewsD.Do’s and Don’ts in job interviews13. A "breaking the ice" type of question is _______.A. a question that makes people unhappyB. a sharp question that makes people angryC. an opening question asked to make people less nervousD. a question asked about serious topic14. All of the following are considered to be the interviewee’s qualifications except____.A. educational backgroundB. social backgroundC. all kinds of special training receivedD. experience in previous work15. ______ is not mentioned in the passage as a mistake found in job interviews.A. Leaving the mobile onB. Having no questionsC. Arriving lateD. Criticizing previous bosses 第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors. 16 .Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 17 , then probablychildren would buy less take-away food.18 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, longbefore children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their childrenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and saltyfoods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very littleexercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. 19 . What they need isto go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. 20 , as well as forcing themaway from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightB. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooC. If there were fewer of these restaurantsD. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF. I feel there are a number of reasons for thisG. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose第二部分. 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节. 完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）One of Mark Twain’s classic novels is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AA couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfortand understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship b ecame stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.21. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "the apple of their eye"?A.

Here are some tips for reading body language so that you can understand what is not being expressed by words.

She didn’t notice what she had done, but he got the message and changed the topic.An Eye for an EyeIn the US, we expect people to look us in the eyes when they are talking to us. In a crowded elevator or on the street, someone that makes eye contact with you wants to start a conversation with you. If you aretalking and don’t want to be interrupted (打断), look away at the end of a sentence. Eye movements help you control a conversation. On the other hand, if you want to talk and the speaker doesn’t give you the chance, stare at him and fix your eyes on him for a while. He will stop talking and let you speak.You’ve Got to Hand It to ThemPrince Charles often stands with his hands held together behind his back.

There are many laughing clubs —groups who gather in parks for a big laugh to relieve (减轻) the stress of daily life.However, Doctor Ashok Aswani goes one step further —he hands out free DVDs of Charlie Chaplin movies to patients as a treatment for depression. "This makes them feel better," he says. "They enjoy it. The next visit, they ask for another movie." Aswani practices ayurveda, a traditional medical system used in India for thousands of years.He has also earned a big name for himself around the town for dressing up in Chaplin’s costume —a round black hat, a walking stick and black baggy trousers. He i s also good at copying Chaplin’s unique (独特的) walk.Aswani’s vast interest in Charlie Chaplin began some 40 years ago, when he saw The Gold Rush. He liked it so much that he immediately bought a ticket for the next showing. "I laughed and laughed and fell down on the ground," he says. "I saw that movie three times that day, and the next day I lost my job as a typist." Since then, Aswani has seen The Gold Rush more than 200 times. His admiration for Chaplin has just kept on increasing.Aswani now leads a club called the Charlie Circle, a group of fans aged between 14 and 72 who celebrate the anniversaries (周年纪念日) of Chaplin’s death and birth every year. They meet every few months in a small room above a photo shop to discuss Chaplin and watch his movies. Before each meeting, they pray (祈祷) to a large picture of Charlie Chaplin.29.

He gave up his own job when he first saw Charlie Chaplin movies.DThe Onion was started by two university students in 1988. They said their paper was "America’s finest news s ource". For the first few years it enjoyed local popularity. Then in 1996 the weekly Onion entered cyberspace(网络). The new humorous online magazine became very popular. The web site said The Onion had three million readers every week. The popularity of the online magazine led to increased interest in the print version. The Onion print magazine said it had almost one million readers each week.The Onion covers all kinds of subjects and uses a kind of humor called satire(讽刺). They use serious, journalistic language and style to make fun of people’s ideas and activities.For example, once an Onion online cover showed a picture of adissatisfied young man in his disorganized home. The headline read, "Plan to straighten out entire life during week-long vacation yields(产生)mixed results." The report that followed was written in newspaper style, but, of course, this man’s problems were not really worthy of newspaper coverage!The Onion includes features found in a real newspaper. For example, there is a section called American Voices. It includes photographs of several people who have been stopped on the street. They provide their opinions on whatever subject they are asked about. They are very funny, but what is funnier is that The Onion uses the same photographs every week, but changes the names. So, readers realize quickly that the joke is on them.Onion Editor-in-Chief Scott Dikkers has published several books of collected Onion reports. The most recent is called Embedded in America. Not everyone likes The Onion. Some people find it offensive(攻击性的). Others do not recognize it as a humor magazine and sometimes Onion stories are reported by real news organizations as real news reports.33. According to the passage The Onion_______.A. was very popular with college students when it was first startedB. has more readers online than those who read the print versionC. was first read online in 1988D. published its print version after setting up its web site34. In Paragraph 3 the author gives an example to show _______.A. that The Onion is offensiveB. what American men’s problems areC. how The Onion uses a style of news report to make fun of people’s ideasD. how the cover has a great effect on The Onion35. What would be the best title for this passage?A. An Introduction to The OnionB. The History of The OnionC. Opinions on The OnionD. Why The Onion Is Popular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。
2018_2019学年高二英语上学期第一次阶段测试10月试题
高二上学期第一次阶段测试英语试题一、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）ATraveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most s treets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves. People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom und erstand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.1. Which one of the followings is probably an example of Japanese directions?A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.”C. “The post office is about five minutes from here”D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”2. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because _________.A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distanceB. they prefer to lead you the wayC. they often have no idea of distance measured by milesD. they prefer to use body language3. Greeks give directions by __________.A. using street namesB. using landmarksC. leading people the wayD. giving people a wrong direction4. Where is Yucatan?A. In the USA.B. In Japan.C. In Greece.D. In Mexico.BHow much rain has fallen on the earth in the past? Man has not always kept weather records. Because scientists need a way to learn about past rainfall, they study tree rings. A tree’s trunk grows bigger each year. Beneath its bark (树皮), a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives. If you look at a tree stump, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮) On some trees, all of the rings are he same width. But the ponderosa pines (松) that grow in the American southwest have rings of different width. The soil in the southwest is dry. The pines depended on rainfall for water. In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings. In a dry year, they form narrow ones.Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its rings. With a special tool, they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree. Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed. Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings. These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the Southwest.5. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that_________.A. a tree grows faster when it has a lot of water.B. scientists cut down trees to study tree rings.C. pine trees form wide rings every year.D. the ponderosa pine grows in the Southwest6. A tree rows a new layer of wood__________.A. each weekB. whenever it rainsC. every yearD. every season7. On the whole, this story is about_________.A. why tree trunks grow bigger.B. why scientists study tree rings.C. trees that lived hundreds of years ago.D. the ponderosa pines in the American Southwest.8. Why did the scientists study the width of the tree rings?A. They want to know how big the tree will grow.B. Scientists want to move the pine trees.C. The trees depend on rainfall for water.D. The rings tell them how much rain has fallen.CTwo traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?”“Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watchedover his house,” she accused(谴责). “The second family had little but was willing to sh are everything, and you did not help.”“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”9.The underlined part “the pair” in the second paragraph two refers to__. .A. the poor coupleB. the rich coupleC. the guestsD. the angels10.The younger angel was very angry because___. .A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cowB. the older angel treated the poor family unfairlyC. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to liveD. the angel of death took the cow away11. Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die?A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.C. Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.12. The story tries to tell the reader that___ .A. angels are always ready to help the poorB. sometimes things are not what they seemC. angels are always ready to help the richD. the young should always learn from the oldDLong March exhibitThe Shanghai History Museum is putting on an exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of the Long March.

Doing mathEKids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time. 16 .Some ways of dealing with stress--- like screaming or hitting someone --- don't solve much. But other ways,like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 17 . They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death ofa beloved pet.(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset theytake it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 18(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adultsandfriends, it's time to get down to business. 19 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.20 .A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.B. N otice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.C. D ifferent people feel stress in different ways.D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.E. Y ou need to figure out what the problem is.F. And don't forget about your friends.G. Then, find a way to calm down.二、完形填空( 共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They 21 their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little 22 .

All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions（脑震荡）in the past.Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complex new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can’t be seen during most scans.According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting lastmonth，the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.T his pattern of white matter loss is “similar to those seen in traumatic （外伤的） brain injury ”, like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported，even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.24. The passage is most probably a __________.A. news reportB. research reportC. medicine instructionsD. text for doctors25. What was used to find the structural changes in the brain?A. Learning skills.B. Advanced computers.C. Special questionnaires.D. A new technique M.R.I.26. From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have __________.A. a significant effect on one’s brainB. little effect on one’s brainC. nothing to do with the brain injuryD. one’s memory improved27. What do we know about the volunteers?A. They were all researchers about soccer.B. They had serious injury on the head.C. They were adults who still played soccer.D. They all head children who played soccer.COne of the main creators of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet, "A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths, or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way." In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging. Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information. However he arguesthat people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog. This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources. Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge. It's interesting to note that Wikipedia（维基百科）has had to take steps to prevent false information being added to the biographies of living people. It's easy for anybody to edit the open source. However, some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials. In seeking to raise standards, Wikipedia has sought to stop publishing the false material.At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work. The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet. There appears no slow-down in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries. Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody. Sir Tim was recently launching a new joint initiative（倡议）between Southampton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science. The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.28. What is the especially serious problem that Sir Tim refers to?A. The growth of the Internet is too fast.B. The Internet has a side effect on young children.C. The false information spreads rapidly on the Internet.D. The Internet companies compete against each other in an unfair way.29. What causes the biographies to have false information?A. Anybody can easily edit the biographies.B. Wikipedia doesn't take any steps.C. The Internet users refuse other users to correct it.D. Wikipedia attempts to publish false materials.30. According to the last paragraph, the purpose of the joint initiative is to_________.A. enlarge the use of the InternetB. create the first degree in science and technologyC. provide free Internet access to the poor countriesD. improve the reliability of online content31. We can learn from the text that __________.A. Sir Tim has built two schools recentlyB. Sir Tim hopes everyone can use the Internet for freeC. the Internet is harmful to the people's healthD. the Internet develops slowly in the developing countriesD.In the dead of winter, we don’t typically think about spending time outdoors, but according to many physicians we should. The sun is our greatest source of a vitamin that is essential for good health – Vitamin D.This important vitamin strengthens bones and teeth and is linked to the prevention of heart disease, cancer and any other life-threatening diseases. The recommended daily requirement is 400 –600 International Units (IU). In summer, people with dark brown eyes and darker skin turn sunlight from just 15 minutes outside without sunscreen into adequate amounts of Vitamin D.Even during winter, just a 10-minute walk at midday can keep the body’s Vitamin D at healthy levels. During brief winter walks, we receive the greatest benefits when we wear no sunscreen and expose as much skin to the sun as possible.Vitamin D can be also obtained from foods. Salmon (三文鱼) is one of the best sources of th Vitamin. Egg yolks (蛋黄) , cheese, mushrooms and some animal organs contain smaller quantities of it.To attract consumers, food companies add Vitamin D to some of their milk products. The practice of putting the Vitamin into milk began in the 1930s. At that time, many children were suffering from rickets, an illness that is caused by a shortage of Vitamin D. It made the children’s bones soft and weak. Adding Vitamin D to milk helped to solve the problem, and it has been available ever since.For people who still need more Vitamin D, there is another option: Take Vitamin D supplements(补充物). These products are widely sold in stores. However, anyone considering talking supplements should consult a physician first.32. During the winter months, people ________ .A. aren’t abl e to meet their deadlines.B. often don’t dress warmly enoughC. generally like to remain indoors.D. Leave lots of work for others to do33. According to the text, Vitamin D _________ .A. can be obtained by being exposed to the sunB. can be used to cure life-threatening diseasesC. can be mainly found in some milk products.D. can make the children’s bones soft and weak.34. Why is salmon mentioned in this article?A. It’s seldom prepared in the correct way.B. It’s a useful addition to a person’s diet.C. It has a huge impact on the environment.D. Its advantages have been overvalued.35. The main purpose of this article is _______.A. to introduce a valuable nutrientB. to advertise Vitamin D supplementsC. to note risks associated with a nutrientD. to explain how a nutrient was discovered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。

Gar yBMost animals on land are known to us, but many living things underwater are not. Now let’s get to know some of them.Sea cucumberSea cucumber are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or white green coats . When summer c omes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of heat . And when it is autumn, they move to shallow (浅的) water and get their food.PikeThe pike is a kind of freshwater fish. They are good swimmers and like swimming near boats, waiting to be fed. They have s harp teeth to catch fishes. When they are young, they live in g roups. However, when they grow up, they prefer to live alone. CuttlefishA cuttlefish can swim quite fast, so it is also called rocket (火箭) fish. It has eight arms and two feelers on its head, just aro und its mouth. It ejects ink (喷墨) when it is in danger. Its meat is delicious, and it is often th e first choice for many people.OctopusAn octopus has long arms, with which to catch food and prote ct itself. When it is sleeping, one or two of its arms are still on duty, keeping moving. Once it feels something dangerous, it c an wake up at once to take action.4. Sea cucumbers stay deep to sleep in summer because the y .A. are afraid of high temperatureB. want to get strong and fatC. are afraid of their enemyD. want to live alone5. According to the passage, likes to swim near boats.A. the sea cucumberB.the cuttlefishC.the pikeD. the octopus6. The of an octopus can help protect it when in danger.A. colorB. armsC. soundD. smellsCNext time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you mi ght want to let it cool down a bit before drinking. Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help yo u avoid some kinds of cancer. Researchers at the Internation al Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found evidence tha t drinks at temperatures above 65℃, when swallowed, can ca use cancer of the esophagus (食道). The researchers examined findings from other studies wh ere tea and coffee were often served at 70℃ or above. Those studies were completed in Iran, China and South America.In developed countries, health experts have linked esophagea l cancer to smoking and alcoholic（酒精） drinks. However, this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages （饮料；酒水）at very high temperatures.In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee an d tea at temperatures around 60℃.And they often add milk w hich lowers the temperature greatly. However, tea-drinkers in Iran and mate-drinkers in South America often enjoy their beverages at clos er to 70℃.The researchers find that South Americans not only drink theirmate very hot, they also drink it through a metal straw(吸管). This sends the scalding liquid directly into the throat.The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers. In 1 991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as possibly c arcinogenic (致癌的).” The WHO officials have since changed their position on t hat listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.The results suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one pr obable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperat ure, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be res ponsible.7. What might be the cause of esophageal cancer in developed countries?A. Smoking.B. Alcoholic drinks.C. Unhealthy vegetables.D. Hot drinks.8. Where do tea-drinkers like adding milk?A. In China.B. In Iran.C. In Europe.D. In South Africa .9. What does the underlined word “scalding” in paragraph 5 mean?A. sweet.B. cold.C. hot .D.tasteless.10. Which of the following descriptions is TRUE?A. Once, the WHO thought coffee would cause cancer.B. Drinks below 60℃ can cause esophagus cancer.C. Temperature should not be the cause of cancer.D. Drinking milk is a much healthier way to keep away fromcancer.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。

Lorna, 16, rushed acro ss and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the f ront door. They looked upstairs where they saw smoke comin g out of the top flat. Lorna followed her father into the flat, whe re they found a pan(平底锅)on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, passed out(失去意识)in the smoke-blackened sitting room.

While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search fo r the baby. She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann, lying with her eyes closed.Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fir e and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was ne ar to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the hou se, I wasn’t frightened.”When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hos pital for treatment.

RelaxedCYa Ming had taken me under her wing after hearing me speak ing Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang. She had been hitchhiking(搭便车旅行) around China for months. She invited me to travel with her , which was how we ended up on the side of the road lookingfor a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Within 20 minutes, we h ad our first ride. The driver couldn’t take us all the way and en ded up dropping us at a freeway crossroads. As a new hitchhi ker, I thought that would be the end of our luck, but almost im mediately we got another ride.Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up. He couldn’t take us the whole wa y so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of t he journey. He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to com plete our trip. It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my ey es. This was the first time I understood how guests are respec ted in China.A few weeks later, we said goodbye. I bought we had been so lucky because we had been a local and a foreigner traveling t ogether. But now Ya Ming was no longer around to do the talk ing, nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong. When I stood by a highway in Sichuan, I knew all abou t the difficulties before me. Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese. After about 30 minutes, a couple picked me up and took me t he whole eight hours to Chengdu. We ate lunch on the way, a nd they refused to allow me to pay for any of it, which I had co me to learn was typical of Chinese culture. This made me believe that people weren’ t being friendly because of Ya Ming.28. What do the author and Ya Ming have in common?A. They both are foreigners.B. They both live in Lijiang.C.

They lent her some mon ey.C. They offered her a free lunch.D. They taught her about Chinese culture.DCharles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern E ngland to have as little disturbance(烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and woul d go on to have eight more in the country.Darwin had very regular(有规律的)habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast h e worked in his study until 9:30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before r eturning to work.At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stoppin g at his greenhouse to inspect(查看)his experiments. Then he would go for another walk aroun d an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”, D arwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His net work of friends provided information from all corners of the wo rld.The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children we re always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.After dinner Darwin played backgammon(a game for two people to play)with his wife. He once wrote, “Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this: she.... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah(a cheer of joy or victor y), hurrah, 2,795 games!”Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish a l ot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the fol lowing year, aged 73.Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”, Darwin was given a state funeral(国葬)in London’s Westminster Abbey.32.

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields an d, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of di rection. Then she ran along the edge of cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard o f Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid dow n the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of findin g her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting d esperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student f rom Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious（失去知觉的）but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep wh ich had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said, “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.24．The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was ________. A．rescuing her owner B．caught in a hurricane C．blocked by a rock D．running after a sheep 25．Who spotted Judy after the accident?A．A birdwatcher B．A student from Leeds C．Six volunteers D．The coastguard of C ornwall26．What can we infer from the text?A．People like to travel with their pets.B．Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C．Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.D．Holden cared little where Judy was buried.27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Miracle of the Coastguard B．Surviving a Hurrica neC．Dangers in the Wild D．Coming Back from the DeadCTerrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has comple ted its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of sell ing the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, whic h flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach ar ound 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On t he ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But do n’t e xpect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to co st $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930 s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But M ann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Ad ministration’s decision five years ago to create a separate setof standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need t o pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able t o fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively e asy to meet.28．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．The basic data of the Transition B．The advanta ges of flying carsC．The potential market for flying cars D．The desig ners of the Transition29．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many dri veways?A．It causes traffic jams. B．It is difficult t o operate.C．It is very expensive. D．It bums too much fuel.30．What is the government’s attitude to the development of t he flying car?A．Cautious B．Favorable C．Ambiguous D．Disapp roving31．What is the best title for the text?A．Flying Car at Auto Show B．The Transition’s Fist FlightC．Pilots’ Dream Coming True D．Fl ying Car Closer to RealityDCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, li ke a nearby port or river. People settle in these places becaus e they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communicatio ns and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harb our at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its pop ulation grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canad a, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years lat er, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a populatio n of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travell ed over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got ric h. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their live s.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfort able. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. Bu t soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found . The city was crowded with disappointed people with no inter est in settling down, and when they heard there were new gol d discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as th ey had come. Today, people still come and go — to see wher e the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 32．What attracted the early settlers to New York City? A．Its business culture B．Its small populati onC．Its geographical position D．Its favourable clima te33．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in D awson?A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.B．One out of five people got rich.C．Almost everyone gave up.D．Half of them died.34．What was the main reason for many people to leave Daw son?A．They found the city too crowded.B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C．They were unable to stand the winter.D．They were short of food.35．What is the text mainly about?A．The rise and fall of a cityB．The gold rush in CanadaC．Journeys into the wildernessD．Tourism in Dawson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。

2018-2019学年高二英语上学期第一次周考试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AAn eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All s he knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. O nly a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now.” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully .She hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand.“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my li ttle brother.” The girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want tobuy a miracle.”“Pardon?” said the salesman.“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So ho w much does a miracle cost?”“We don’t sell a miracle here, c hild. I’m sorry.” the salesman said with a smile.“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard this and asked, “What kind of miracle doe s your brother need?”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He ’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my da ddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.”“How much do you have?’’ asked the man. “$1.11, but I ca n try and get some more.” she answered.“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a mir acle for your little brother.” He took up the girl’s hand and said , “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.How much did the miracle cost?21. What was the trouble in the little girl’s family?A. Her brother was seriously ill.B. They had no mon ey.C. Nothing could save her brother.D. Both A and B.22. In the eyes of the little girl, a miracle might be ______.A. something interesting.B. something beautiful.C. some wonderful medicine.D. some good food.23. What made the miracle happen?A. The girl’s love for her brother.B. The medicine fro m the drugstore.C. The girl’s money.D. Nobody can tell.24. From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.A. the doctor didn’t ask for any pay.B. a miracle is sure to happen if you keep on.C. the little girl is lovely but not so clever.D. Andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought.BWhat is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job ? The ability to read well. And that goes for your kids, too. The poor literacy (读写能力) of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now, and yet things are not getting better.In most cases, how well we learn to read will depend largely o n our exposure (接触) to language as children. If we hear people around us talki ng about all kinds of subjects as children, we naturally pick up the words and phrases they use. If we pick up a lot of words, we will learn to read better.Here are my several suggestions for reading improvement. Read about things that interest you. If you are interested in w hat you are reading about, the words will come alive, and you will understand better. The more you read, the better you will become at reading. Just get started and it will become a habit, as long as you are interested in what you are reading.Read something that is at your level or just a little difficult for y ou. Read material that you find easy to read, or just a little cha llenging. Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is d ull, and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotte n.If you have trouble reading, listen first. If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading, you will have an e asier time understanding and remembering them. Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading. Don't worry about what you don't understand. Most of your re ading should be for pleasure. You can enjoy reading without u nderstanding all of what you read. You may even understand some things in your own personal way.25．If we want to succeed at school, we should ________. A．develop good reading abilityB．hear people around us moreC．remember more new wordsD．write more books26．The underlined word “challenging” in Paragraph 5 probab ly means “________”．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．dull 27．What is the purpose of the writer in writing the passage? A．To tell us some ways to improve reading ability.B．To show that the poor literacy has been a main concern of educators.C．To teach us how to find fun in reading.D．To tell us some ways to pick up new words and phrases.28．Which of the following statements about the suggestions is NOT true?A．Read more about things that interest you and you'll beco me better at reading.B．While reading, look up every new word in a dictionary. C．Listen to what you are reading can help you understand a nd remember new words.D．When you can't understand all of what you read, you nee dn't feel worried.COne afternoon after school had finished, Peter and Jane were walking along the street. Suddenly they heard a big noise.“Come on！” shouted Peter. “That sounds like an accident. Le t's see what's happened.” They ran to where the noise came f rom. As soon as they got there, they could see what had happ ened. A small car had knocked into the side of a truck. The ac cident had happened in a quiet street with only four houses in it. Peter and Jane were the first ones to reach the site. No oth er people came. “We must be the only ones who saw the acci dent，” said Jane. They found that both the car driver and the truck driver were hurt.“Peter，” said Jane, “run back down the road to Mrs. Day's house. Ask her to call the policemen and the ambulance. Hurry up. I'll stay he re.”Off went Peter as fast as he could. There was nothing Jane c ould do but wait. She knew that when people were hurt in an accident, they shouldn't be moved. It wasn't long before the p olice car and the ambulance arrived. The policemen got the c ar door open and they carried the man out. Then they got the truck driver out. The men weren't seriously hurt, but they were both taken to the hospital. The policemen thanked Peter and Jane, “You were very good to act so quickly when you saw th e accident. Thank you for all your help.”29．The accident happened ________.A．in a quiet street one school day afternoonB．in a busy street one school day afternoonC．in a quiet street one Sunday afternoonD．in a busy street one Sunday afternoon30．________ called the policemen.A．Jane B．The drivers C．Mrs. Day D．Peter 31．Jane did nothing before the policemen arrived because _ _______.A．she was too frightened to do anythingB．she was alone after Peter leftC．she was waiting for PeterD．she knew she shouldn't move the two driversDA group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their wo rk, got together to visit their teacher. Their conversation soon t urned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress (压力) in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of th e cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the cof fee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teac her said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if y ou’re very successful now.”“All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you ch ose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and posi tion in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. Th ey do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”32. The students who visited the teacher ______.A. are satisfied with their workB. are successful in their studiesC. are strict with each otherD. are successful in their work33. The teacher noticed that the students ________.A. liked the cheap cupsB. only took the best cupsC. were drinking coffeeD. preferred the coffee to the cups34.

Because they didn’t have money to buy coffee and cups.35. From the story, we know the teacher wanted the students to enjoy ______.A. the cupsB. the coffeeC. lifeD. money and position第二节七选五(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。

Thankfully, Good Housekeeping has suggested some tips to prevent yourself from crying while you are trying to cut up an onion.According to the findings from the Institute, putting onions in a fridge 30 minutes before cutting can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking (催泪的) gas from being produced.Another way to reduce the gas released (释放) by the onion is to put it in water for a while. Good Housekeeping recommends: “Cut the end off the onion and then put it straight into a bowl of water. The water will draw ou the acid (酸性物质) making your tears fewer when you cut it.”When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur (硫) in the4 soil to create a special mineral acid. When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying gas cause the eyes to produce tears.The root is where the gasses are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half down the middle, then cut off part of one side to create a flat surface.Then, place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it towards the root.Also, to reduce the gas’s effect on your eyes, cut it next to a window or near a fan so the gas is blown away from your face. And take care to use a sharp knife; this will make it easier to move through the vegetable, causing fewer cells to be broken and less gas to be released as a result.28.Refrigerating the onion before cutting can _______.A.change its tasteB. make it easier to be cut upC.avoid producing the gasD. help the gases mix more quickly29. From the fourth paragraph, what happens when the onion is cut up?A. Some acid mineral is lost.B. The tear mixture is created.C. The sulfur inside it pours out.D. A chemical reaction producers a gas.30. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Producing more tears.B. Leaving the root uncut first.C. Promoting (促进) concentrationD. Making the onion more tasty31. The main purpose of the text is to ___________.A. advise and explainB. examine and analyzeC. argue and discussD. present and compareDToday we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring”and “life”together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life”in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bouncea little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring”as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring”means young. However, “spring chicken”is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.”That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.32. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter.B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil.D. To occur or appear quickly.33. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of the word “spring”.B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”.D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.34. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel hurt when described as “no spring chicken”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
