With gold No. 8, Phelps earned a singular place in the Olympic record books."There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, whofinished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also wong old alongside him in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. It’s hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidlyin the company of seemingly invincible (不可战胜的) superstars suchas Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.“I think years and years down the road we’ll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is.” U.S. teammateNatalie Coughlin said. The 23-year-old from Baltimore capped abrilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in everyevent except the 20140 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days.Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972 - 1980, Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with l8.At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he’ll swim in the 2014 London Games. Phelps’ victories in Beijing include 200–meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 20140 and 200 butterfly, 4×200 free relay,4×20140 medley relay, and 4×20140 free relay.68．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.

Phelps finishes his competitions69．Why are Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods mentioned in the 3rd paragraph?A. To emphasize Phelps’ unique (独一无二) position in swimming.B.

Phelps succeeded in Athens at the age of 18C. Phelps has won the most golds all by himselfD. Phelps will have a bright future in the 2014 LondonDIn today’s society, a college degree tells little about what you know in comparison to what it tells about what you can learn. For example, the IT world is constantly changing. Anything you learn today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn.Blogging（写博客）works exactly the same way. And I believe this to be true regardless of your end goal. If you’re trying to, this is very clear. There’s always more money to be made.If you’re teaching on a subject, you are constantly looking for new information to share. Even if you’re just sharing your words with others for pleasure, you’re continuously improving your writing andstorytelling so people don’t get bored of you.This is one of the reasons that bloggers burn out. They forget this. They think they have an unlimited amount of content just waiting toburst from their brain. They get comfortable. Then they start to run out of juice. Sure, at times it seems that some bloggers just have it. They are experts in their fields and will simply feed us with invaluable content forever. But this is not true. Pay attention. Even famous bloggers would run out of content eventually without constant learning.The point is easy to see. Don’t think you’ve succeeded. There is no summit. What happens when someone thinks they’ve hit the summit?They quickly begin falling down the other side. Always be learning from your experiences. See what posts work for your readers. Whichget the best response? Which are completely ignored? Which bring in the most Google traffic, or get the most Absence clicks? Don’tsettle or your blog will close for ever eventually.72．Judging from the article, if you have got a college degree, say,in engineering, it means _______.A. you’re good at engineeringB. you’ve finished learning engineeringC. you’ve chosen to learn engineeringD. you can find work relating to engineering73．The writer thinks Blogging works in a way that it requires the writers to _______.A. be constant learnersB. have academic degreesC. keep onwriting D. know everything before starting74．The writer uses the word “it” in the underlined sentence “Sure, at tim es … have it” to refer to _______.A. the failure in keeping on writingB.the knowledge needed for blogging foreverC. the ability of constant learningD. the comfort enjoyed from blogging75．The questions in the last paragraph are asked to advise bloggers on how to _______.A. learn from their experiencesB. learn from othersC. update their knowledgeD. reach blogging summitEThe first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionarywas actually nothing more than a list of about 3, 000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition.The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word. During the 1600’s more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey’s lead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard words. But until the 1750’s all the dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable.A man named Dr Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr Johnson produced the first modern dictionary. He included in his dictionaryall important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings.He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually usedin speech and in writing. By the end of the 1700’s most dictionary makers had fol lowed Johnson’s example. Dictionaries were getting better and better.The 1800’s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume (卷；册；部) work. One of themost interesting features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces (追溯；探索) the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.76．The first English dictionary _________.A. defined easy words as well as hard onesB. was just a list of difficult words with one-word definitionsC. included a number of everyday wordsD. was considered to be a very valuable one77．According to the passage, before 1755 all English dictionaries_________.A. were of no valueB. only defined hard wordsC. defined both easy words as well as hard wordsD. were far from being perfect78．Which of the following statements is not true about Dr Johnson’s dictionary?A. It was not very valuable.B. It was the first modern English dictionary.C. It included easy words as well as hard ones.D. It gave sentences to show the usage of words.79．The most interesting feature of the Oxford Dictionary was that_________.A. it had a complete list of difficult wordsB. it gave sentences showing how each word was actually usedC. it was a 20-volume workD. it showed the history of each word80．This passage is mainly about _________.A. the difference of English dictionariesB. the origin of English dictionariesC. the development of English dictionariesD. the features of English dictionaries第四部分：书面表达（满分25分）鉴于现在很多独生子女不知道怎样与人打交道这一现象，请你写一篇题为“How to Get Along Well with Others ” 的文章要点：1. 日常生活中我们不得不与人打交道2. 要做一个诚实的人，要做到表里如一3. 要谦虚，骄傲的人是得不到别人的尊重的，更不用说友谊了4. 不能自私，要学会关心他人注意：1. 词数20140左右2. 可适当增加细节3. 生词：谦虚的 humble 自私的 selfishIn our daily life, we have to come into contact with people in every walk of life. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ _____________湖北省黄冈中学2014年秋季高二英语期末考试试题听力录音稿及参考答案Text 1M I’ll pick you at about 8 00 tomorrow morning.W What time shall we get to London?M By 11 00 if the traffic isn’t too heavy.Text 2W You’d better wear the white shirt.

He can never fly high into the sky and he even doesn’t know where to go.When my father was young, he had many colorful dreams, like to be a scientist, an artist, a famous singer and even a high official, but none of these have come true. He turned teacher after graduating from a normal university. He often told me although his dreams didn’t come true, still he never regretted having such dreams, for he would have lost motivation and directions without those dreams. As some of the dreams were not practical, he could regulate them and select another right way to go, so eventually he find his own direction and made great achievements in his field. “What’s really frightening is that you have no dream,” he said.Inspired by my father’s instruction, I should also find out my real dream and stick to it until I reach the final destination.11。

Their courses are accepted by many universities in America.62．Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers?A ABC B. PBS C.NBC D. FoxDLast week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States) made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.“So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, e xecutive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”63．Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?A.

He is the head of all animal protection organization.64．What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean?A. A new unit of a book.B. The beginning of a new trend.C.

Fur is more effective than bamboo／cotton blend for clothing.D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.ETwenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Likewise, girls are better in their expression_r of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if youask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.67．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.D. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys andgirls separate.68．Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. Girls have more brain cells than boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlierin girls than in boys.69．Which of the following does the author believe?A. Girls need more training in communication.B. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

I amwriting to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some feel dizzy or tired, some suffer from lack of sleep, and some lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terribleeffects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a right attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. We should study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)Yours ,Li HuaDear editor,I am Li Hua of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School.

There is no doubt that exams are important to us students, b ut it’s more important to have a right attitude towards them.

Only by studying hard very day and making good preparations for exams can we avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercise before exams. Besides, having enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam, A hot bathor a cup of hot milk before going to bed night help you have a sound sleep.

But gradually, I formed a habit---whenever I met with a problem, I couldn’t help discussing it with my deskmate, even in the tests. I became lazy and was unwilling to think them over when facing difficulties. Only when I failed in the first mid-term exam did I realize that I should learn to think independently. After that, I paid more attention to the balance between studying on our own and in teams. My efforts paid off and I did well in my study.It has been confirmed from my experience that studying on our own really plays a very important role in our study.听力录音材料Text 1W: Have you finished writing the report, Tom?M: Yes, Jenny.

Whenever we’re faced with difficulties or in a dilemma, cooperation plays a significant role in getting us out of trouble.There was a time when I was so proud that I overlooked my peers, refusing to work together with them. Therefore , there was no doubt that I was left alone , suffering from loneliness and failure. Fortunately, a teacher impressed on me the value of cooperation. From then on, I learned to help each other and turn to my friends for help whenever I had difficulty in finishing a task on my own. Surely cooperation made a difference. Now I am getting along well with my friends. Meanwhile, I become more confident.My experience has taught me that only if we attach great importance to cooperation can we go beyond ourselves.

Although they did not admit any wrongdoing, they each agreed to pay thousands of dollars to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).“I don’t believe that I did anything wrong,” said Daniel Peng at Princeton University, one of the four. “I hope that for the sake of artists, the larger issues can soon be resolved.” None appears to have made any money off the file-sharing systems they operated, which were confined to their campus’s computer networks.The payments mark the first time record companies have recovered money from individuals in the US accused of piracy on file-sharing networks. This may be a sign of things to come, as the industrystarts taking its battle against online piracy directly to users.Many record-company executives(主管) blame the long slump in CD sales on file-sharing networks, which let users copy songs from each other’s computers for free.Matt Oppenheim, senior vice president of business and legal affairs for the RIAA, said the settlements, although well below what the companies could have asked for, were “the right amount” given the situation.He also noted that since the four lawsuits were filed, at least 18 campus file-sharing networks have been taken down by their operators.59．Wha t does “a hidden price tag” (Paragraph 1) mean?A. Record companies intentionally hide the high price of the music.B. It happens that the music price tag isn’t obvious.C. One has to pay for having downloaded music freely at last.D. O ne has to pay for the music in the future even if it’s allowed to be downloaded freely now.60．Which of the following is true?A. The four students planned to violate the company’s copyright.B.

While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to provescientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes increasing physical isolation brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception (看法) that the world is a more dangerous place.Considering that we can’t turn the clock back, adults canstill do plenty to help the next generation cope(应付).At the top of the list is nurturing（培养）a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties help build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and theywill get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual violence your children areexpected to. It’s not just from video games and movie s; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your daily routine. It will helpyou cope with your own anxiety and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.63．The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind are ______.A. surprisingB. confusingC. illogicalD. questionable64．What does the author mean by saying “we can’t turn the clock back” (Para 3)?A. It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.B. The social reality children are facing can’t be changed.C. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D. It’s impossible to forget the past.65．The first and most important thing parents should do to helptheir children is ______.A. to provide them with a safer environmentB. to lower their expectations for themC. to get them more involved sociallyD. to set a good model for them to follow66．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sometimes local news about murder and crime also affects childrena little.B. TVs and computers play an important role in isolating childrenfrom the real world.C. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable.D. Exercise does not help to lessen children’s anxiety.EJust five one-hundredths of an inch thick, light golden in color and with a perfect “saddle curl,” the Lay’s potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global domination. But its maker, Frito-Lay,thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charmsof a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by PepsiCo and accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones that consumes--especially young people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brandwith the new world of global communications and business.With brand perception a crucial(决定性的) factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识).The logo, along with thecompany’s lon g-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” ofits chips would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism(势力扩张). Rather, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting them to thetastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and chan ging lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.67．It is the belief of Foito-Lay’s head of global marking that_____.A. Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketB. People all over the world enjoy eating their c ompany’s potato chipsC. The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chipsD. Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales68．What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?A. Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers.B. Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack market.C. It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.D. It needs to turn to the world market for development.69．One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that____.A. consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsB. local brands cannot compete successfully with American brandsC. products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profitsD. products identified as American will have promising market value70．Frito-Lay’s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market______.A. won’t affect the eating habits of the local peopleB. will lead to economic imperialismC. will be in the interest of the local peopleD. won’t spoil the taste of their chipsⅡ卷（共40分）第三部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完成句子（共2014小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
