The story has since been used as a warning by parents to stop their children from __1__(lie).But believe it or not, this old fairy tale has some truth in it, because a new study shows that your nose can give you away if you lie. However, instead of growing longer, researchers say our noses heat up if we tell tall tales.Live Science reported that __2__ the change of body temperature is difficult to see with the naked eye, heat cameras can help us identify it. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain introduced thermographic (热感成像的) cameras into their experiment. These kind of cameras were first used in wars to search for people because it can detect (探测) the heat _3___ (come)from human bodies. This is the first time that it _4____ (use) in psychological (心理学的) research.__5__(watch) the participants through the thermographic camera, researchers soon noticed the temperature change on their faces ---– when they told a lie, their nose started to heat up, as well as the muscles around the inner corner of their eyes. They also found that people’s faces got hotter when they were feeling anxious, and cooler when they did difficult mental tasks.This change in temperature all comes from a part of the brain called the insula (脑岛). Here’s ___6__it works: The insula controls both our emotion (情绪) and body temperature. When we lie about our feelings, the insula is activated (激活), _7___(cause) our face temperature to rise, especially around our nose.In fact, the “Pinocchio effect”, ___8___ it has been called, is just a part of the researchers’ study about how our body temperature changes with our mental states. Empathy (移情作用), for example, can also be detected this way.In the experiment, researchers showed a video of a person __9__(get) an electric shock in thearm. Among all the people __10__ watched this video, researchers found that those who were highly empathic would get hotter in their arms. This means that they were feeling the other p erson’s pain.Section B (10’)Directions:Complete the following sentences by using the words or phrases in the box.

Like many bike share programs across America, the project aims to make biking 53 and convenient for every student on the campus. As the cold winter 54 , the bikes are being moved into storage, but that has not stopped the organization from continuing to 55 money in the hope of expanding the program in the coming years.Big Red Bikes put 20 bikes on the campus for the students to use in May 2011. Six months later, 20 more were added. The hope is to finally expand the program to 56 100 bikes and more parking station.As the need for the program increases, Big Red Bikes is working in a highly democratic manner to determine how to expand the program. The organization sent out a campus-wide 57 to decide where to put future parking stations and get advice on bike models. For example, the second 20-bike addition has a 58 different model and includes a basket.Though it is only a campus-wide program at present, it could contribute to a larger national 59 . Boris Suchkov, the finance director of Big Red Bikes, explained, “When graduates go to live somewhere else, they have this expectation that biking should be a part of life.” He added, “We believe that students who are 60 to an environmentally sustainable transport systemduring their college years will be more likely to 61 and need sustainable systems of all kinds in the future.”III.

It sounds like a simple 63 , especially for a group of high school students, but not for these students at Mountain View Alternative High School in Centreville, Virginia. They are among a 64 number of students at schools in the United States that use podcasting in their classrooms.Podcasting is like radio broadcasting, 65 it uses the Internet.

And they have recorded music and other sound for their podcasts.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AI was impressed by a lecture presented by a famous memory expert, Ron White. Ron started the lecture by having 250 people in attendance get up from their seats. He then asked everyone to take off the name tags they were issued when they entered the lecture hall and put them away for a moment.Ron then went around the room and addressed each person individually by name and asked them to take a seat!How did Ron know the names of the 250 people in attendance? He had learned them all in 45 minutes while walking around the room, reading name tags. And, to be honest, he probably didn’t need that long.Ron is a two-time national memory champion, winning the USA Memory Championship in 2009 and 2010. He holds the record for being the fastest to memorize a deck of shuffled (打乱的) cards in only 1 minute and 27 seconds.His secret is similar to what Dale Carnegie talks about in his book, How to Develop Self-confidence & Influence People by Public Speaking, where he says the “natural laws of remembering” are impression, repetition and association.The basis for this method involves associating pictures with names and numbers that you can easily recall. For example, for the number “ten”, associate a picture of something that sounds like “ten”, such as a “hen” or “pen”. Then imagine that the tenth item you have to recall is a windmill (风车). To associate the name, do not think of the word “ten” at all. Instead, imagine a fantastic image in your mind of a hen sitting on a windmill, or a windmill pumping ink to fill the pen.When you are asked what the tenth object was called, don’t think of “ten”, but rather, ask yourself where the hen was sitting, or picture ink spewing (喷涌) out of the top of the windmill and flowing into the top of the pen.The study of memory is a fascinating subject and one that will serve you well if you put in some time reading up on the techniques to develop it.77. The author was impressed by the memory expert because ___________.A. he had the habit of remembering people’s namesB. he started the lecture by asking the audience to get upC. he asked the audience to put away their name tagsD. he learned the names of the audience in just 45 minutes78. What can we learn about Ron White from the passage?A. He is as famous as Dale Carnegie.B. He has written a book about how to remember cards quickly.C. He won the USA Memory Championship twice.D. He is proud of impressing people with his talent.79. What is the key step in the process of association?A. Think of the names to remember in your mind.B. Imagine the names and numbers to be simple things.C. Repeat the names and numbers as much as possible.D. Associate fantastic images that sound like the names and numbers.80. What will the author probably discuss in the following paragraph?A. The benefits of mastering the techniques to develop memory.B. A comment by the famous memory expert.C. How the memory theory influences people.D. The popularity of the national memory championship.BParents caught lying to the authorities to get their children into top state schools will have their children’s places automatically withdrawn under new rules.Officials will investigate at least 10% of applications to root out cheating, and set up a hotline for parents to report their doubts about other families. If a family moves within the year of making an application, officials will make an re-examination of the case to check if they have given false information about where they live in order to get into a top-performance nearby school.Officials said that parents should sign a statement, promising their application was truthful after being given clear warnings. If cheating was detected, the child’s place would be withdrawn immediately.Officials statistics published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families today showed that one in six children in England did not get into their first choice secondary school. In total 83.2% of families were given a place at their top preferred school on National Offer Day earlier this month, which is unchanged from last year. But there were huge regional differences around the country – in London and Birmingham, only 66% got their first choice school. Some 94.9% of children got a place at one of their top three preferred schools, which is slightly up from last year.Officials also recommended a media campaign to point out that lying to get a place is not a victimless crime. Educators estimated that only a tiny minority of parents applied dishonestly, and they commented that every place gained by cheating is denying another child his rightful place. No child should be punished for his parents’ actions, but neither should families on waiting lists be unfairly disadvantaged or delayed.81. If you suspect someone has used false information in their application, you can ___________A. re-examined the case and check it out.B. report it to the related schoolC. ask to withdraw the child’s placeD. dial a special phone number82. It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ______________.A. far more children can go to their first preferred school than beforeB. children in big cities have more chances of attending satisfying schools.C. the application situations differ in different parts of BritainD. 94.9 % of children have the chance to go to their top preferred school83. The underlined part “lying to get a place is not a victimless crime”in the last paragraphmeans _____________.A. what liars get is at the cost of others’ rightB. people who lie to get a place are criminalsC. schools should have liars’ places withdrawnD. children should be punished for their parents’ deeds84. Why did the author write the text?A. To introduce the overall situation of school applications in Britain.B. To summarize application methods for preferred schools.C. To stress the negative consequences of lying.D. To remind people that dishonesty in school applications will be punished.CWarmer weather will most likely make it impossible for polar bears to survive on the shores of Hudson’s Bay, Canada, in 20 to 30 years. So says the worlds’ best-known polar bear expert, Ian Stirling, who has studied polar bears as a biologist for 41 years – longer than anyone else in the field.“It’s not speculation (猜测),”said Stirling. “By the middle of the century, we’re likely to have lost two thirds of the worl d’s polar bears.”While Stirling has little hope for the bears of Hudson’s Bay, he remains optimistic that Canadians can save the majestic species living farther north by taking action on climate change.The loss of Arctic ice is the main threat to Canada’s southern-most polar bear populations. An estimated 1,600 bears live in the region, according to satellite images. Stirling said, “That’s faster than most scientific models predicted.”Since his first visit in 1970 to Churchill, Canada’s polar bear hub for tourists and scientists alike, the ice has progressively melted earlier and frozen later. Without ice floes (冰川), the bears have no platform from which to hunt their meal of choice — the ringed seal. Larger bears can snag the occasional walrus (海象) on land, but the entire population can’t get by without seals.The most crucial feeding time for the bears is between early April and July when the ringed seals are young, unaware and easier to catch. Bears gain up to 70 per cent of their yearly energy during this period, so it can be deadly when it’s cut short by three weeks, Stirling said.W hen they’re starving,they go searching for an alternate foo d source, and that’s mainly going to be human settlements,” said Stirling. The majority of these hostile interactions happen in Churchill, where a polar bear jail has been set up to hold aggressive bears.Stirling said, “Canada is home to more than 60 per cent of the world’s estimated 25,000 polar bears. Studying them throws light on the entire Arctic ecosystem. They’re a fantastic part of biodiversity of the planet. “If Canadians don’t care about what’s happening in the Arctic in general and polar bears i n particular, then why should the rest of the world care?”85. From Stirling, we can learn that _________.A. the polar bears in Canada will disappear in 20 to 30 yearsB. all the polar bears in the world will disappear by the middle of the centuryC. Canadians can save the polar bears by making them live farther northD. the polar bears’ situation is worse than what most scientific models predicted86. What is the main threat to the polar bears in Hudson’s Bay?A. Being hunted by man.B. The loss of Arctic ice.C. The decline of the ringed seal.D. The development of local tourism.87. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There is a polar bear jail in Churchill.B. It is estimated that about 25,000 bears live in the world.C. 10% of the Arctic ice has disappeared per year since 1979.D. From early April to July is an important time for the polar bears.88. In the last paragraph, what is the purpose of Stirling’s words?A. To call on Canadians to protect polar bears.B. To analyze the entire Arctic ecosystem.C. To ask Canadians to focus on their living conditions.D. To tell Canadians that it is too cold for polar bears.I.

2017-2018学年上海市建平中学高一第二学期期末考试英语试卷分析
2017-2018学年建平中学高一第二学期期末考试英语试卷Section ADirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images __1__(present) in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students __2__ tight schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isn’t a temporary ph enomenon. The share of working students __3__ (be) on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those __4__ work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs __5__ also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make __6__ easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers __7__(look) for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that __8__ a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough __9__ for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into（减少） the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Working too much while in school can create a cycle where students __10__(push) further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.1.【答案】presented【分析】考查非谓语. 过去分词做后置定语.2.【答案】with【分析】考查介词．根据句意：许多大学有时间表排得紧紧的学生．3.【答案】has been【分析】考查被动语态．根据句意：已经工作的大学生的占比从上世纪70年代有所上升，因为后面有since，所以被动要用现在完成时．4.【答案】who【分析】考查定语从句．先行词是those，指人，并在定语从句中做主语，所以用关系代词who引导．5.【答案】can【分析】考查情态动词．根据句意：这样的工作也可以是对……至关重要的 .6.【答案】it【分析】考查代词．Make it easier，其中，it作形式宾语 .7.【答案】looking【分析】考查非谓语．With引导伴随状语从句．8.【答案】if【分析】考查连词．If引导让步状语从句．9.【答案】to pay【分析】考查非谓语．不定式充当目的状语引导目的状语从句．10.【答案】are pushed【分析】考查被动语态．根据句意：读书时工作的太多会导致学生被推进一个……的循环里。

A“Dad，” I say one day, “let’s take a trip。
Why don't you fly out and meet me？”My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought，his life。
While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks。
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure。
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks。
We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop？” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still don't have a watch？”Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore。

山西省阳高县第一中学2016_2017学年高一英语下学期期末考试试题2-含答案 师生通用
山西省阳高县第一中学2016-2017学年高一英语下学期期末考试试题I阅读理解（3*20=60分）AI was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable and friendly—but only once they had been introduced to new people.However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage traveling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was berated(斥责) in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat－it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor(走廊) for the remainder of the journey. The other passengers of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome among them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else's privacy. However, when I traveled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.1. The purpose of the author is to tell us ________.A. his traveling experienceB. cultural differences to show hospitality and politenessC. the culture shock he experienced in Italy and the USD. how to adapt ourselves to a new culture2. What do we know about the passengers of the carriage when the author was traveling in Italy?A. They all laughed at the author for his mistake.B. They were all on the side of the gentleman.C. They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.D. They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.3. The author probably believes the Italian people are________.A. coldB. rudeC. hospitableD.helpful4. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. the difference between English and American cultureB. why Americans like to start conversationsC. different attitudes of Englishmen and Americans towards conversationD. the importance of privacy among EnglishmenBTourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. When the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.In the early 17th century, the idea of the "Grand Tour" was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The "Grand Tour" was an important part of young people's education-but only for the rich.In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK startedto visit some towns, such as Bath to "take the waters". They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays at the seaside. Some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries.The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.Thus tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything-plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food-and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour (包办旅行) and modern tourism industry was born.The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949. But tourism did not take off until 1978. In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China's social development.5. In the early times, the travelers _______ .A. all came from ChinaB. were very young and strongC. had lots of moneyD. traveled by boat6. _______ played the most important role in the tourism development.A. EducationB. MoneyC. TransportationD. People's ideas7. According to the passage , which of the following is right ?A. Money played the most important role in the tourism development .B. In the 20 th century, people preferred traveling by sea to traveling by air.C. China’s tourism did not take off until 1949.D. In 2002 , the tourism industry became an important part of China’s social development.8. Modern tourism industry was born _______A. in 1949B. in Roman timesC. in the early 17th centuryD. in the 19th centuryCWhen my friend Lesa was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer, another friend and I went to the hospital to spend some time with her. We bought her a small toy and named him Lemon－Aide. We gave Lemon－Aide to Lesa and told her he was to go with her to all of her treatments to remind her that we were thinking of her and caring about her even though we could not always be with her. When the treatments were completed, she said when someone else needed him she would pass him along.A few months later，much to my surprise, it was me that she passed him to. Lemon －Aide went with me to all of my treatments.One day while waiting for my doctor I decided we could market the idea to fight cancer. Lesa thought it was a great idea so we founded the organization that came to be known as Lemon－Aide' s Friends, Inc. We designed our organization to remind people fighting cancer that there are people who love and care about them all the time. Today we have totally 5013 volunteers. The money raised is donated to cancer patients who do not have insurance. The physicians on our Board of Advisors determine how and where our money is donated.Lemon－Aide is for men, women, and children of all ages and to date has been sent to 34 states and 33 countries to provide smiling support for people fighting cancer. When life gave us lemons we made Lemon－Aide, a soft smiling toy that represents love, support, and encouragement.9．The author went to the hospital with her friend ________．A．to operate on Lesa B．to treat her diseaseC．to accompany Lesa D．to look after Lemon－Aide10．Lesa was given a small toy because ________．A．he represented her organization B．he could help weaken her painC．she would think of her friends D．her friends tried to comfort her11．It can be inferred that ________．A．the author had suffered from cancerB．Lemon－Aide had suffered from cancerC．Lesa had recovered from cancerD．Lemon－Aide learned to look after the author12．Lesa and the author formed an organization to ________．A．cure cancer B．raise money C．help cancer patients D．help their friendDDo you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared —that it’s just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it’s not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist fro m Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And there’s growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) — a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, ” explained Jaremka, who led the study.The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won’t work to just “tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”13．If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.A. they won’t feel happy anymoreB. they are more mentally harmed than physicallyC. they will find the feeling goes away by itselfD. they are more likely to fall ill14．What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremka’s team?A. To find out how people fight diseases.B. To prove loneliness hurts people’s immune systems.C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.D. To see how people’s emotions change when they give unprepared speeches. 15．We can conclude from the article that ________.A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the worldB. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologiesC. websites must be set up to help people deal with lonelinessD. much more work needs to be done to fight loneliness第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填A空白处的最佳选项。

AThe awful war was finally over, and my brother Tim and I were invited to spend a few days with my uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brotherand I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to t he top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick cloud of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories; otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the setting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which at any moment fell down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!21.

Which of the following can best describe the writer’s uncle?A. adventurous and good at storytellingB. humorous and good at making jokesC. caring and generous with moneyD. considerate and sensitive to dangerBIt is natural that children are curious about the world around them．For example, they want to know how their hearts beat．They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty．As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things．When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers．They become interested in the physical world around them：the plants, the animals, the sky．Later, they become interested in the things that people have made：wheels, bicycles, cars．And when they are adults, their curiosity continues．Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career(生涯、职业)in science．Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world．Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies．Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences．A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e．g．physics, chemistry．These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world．For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run．They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute．Your heart is a pump(泵)that pumps blood to all parts of the body．The blood carries oxygen and nutrition．When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them．The muscles need oxygen, too．So your brain sends a signal to the heart．The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen．Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles．It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute．Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions．If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks．When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks．Rain falls into cracks．The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers．The rivers carry the salt into the ocean．But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get salti er every year．” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question．We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious．26.
