Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usuallythey have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.21. Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.A. he can’t read or writeB. he doesn’t use his memory oftenC. his parents haven’t a good memoryD. he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time22. Which of the following is TRUE ?A. Your memory doesn’t work in the same way as your arms or legs.B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice.C. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to ha ve a better memory.D. A good memory comes from less practice.23. Few people know that it is only ______ if a friend has a poor memory.A. his own faultB. his parents’ faultC. his teachers’ faultD. his g randmother’s fault24. The writer of this passage wants to tell us ________.A. how to use our arms or legsB. how to read and writeC. how to have a good memoryD. how to learn from the peoplest July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there.Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.25. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. Bus.B. Ship.C. Train.D. Airplane.26. Why did they pay a fine?A. Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t w ait in line.C. Because they came to the airport lateD. Because their bag was overweight.27. What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A. The flight to Seattle.B. The breakfast in the airport.C. The visit to Mount Rainier.D. The discovery of a small stream.28. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlife.B. To take a shortcut to save time.C. To avoid the snowy road.D. To avoid being attacked by animals.3.In 1901,H.G.Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that themoon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"H.G.Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Channel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' "moon people" would agree. Would you?29. The explorers in H.G.Wells' story were surprised to find that the "moon people" .A. knew so much about the earthB. understood their languageC. lived in so many underground citiesD. were ahead of them in space technology30. What does the underlined word "it" (Paragraph 2) refer to?A. Discovering the moon's inner space.B. Using the earth's inner space.C. Meeting the "moon people" again.D. Traveling to outer space.31. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Alice Cities—cities of the future.B. Space travel with H.G.Wells.C. Enjoy living underground.D. Building down, not up4.On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13, 000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights.Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldn’t go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving（跳伞）. At first, I didn’t think I could, but I finally made it.I don’t think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yodel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldn’t jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us-- a special bond.I made a reservation（预定）to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didn’t feel any fear (I)just jumped! That was wonderful! Wonderful!There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world! First, I felt an awful acceleration（加速）and then I felt like I was lying in the air…like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds free fall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me.33. What would be best title of the passage?A. Overcoming fear of heights.B. Not daring to go up the Eiffel Tower.C. Jumping from a planeD. A special bond with friends34. By saying “I finally made it”, the author means _________.A. he gave up going skydiving in the endB. at last he succeeded in skydivingC. he made up his mind in the endD. he finally made a reservation35. Why did the author feel a lack of oxygen when he was landing on the ground?A. Because he was falling for about a minute.B. Because it was his first time to do so.C. Because people breathe in less air when falling freely.D. Because the wind was blowing him strongly.二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Some researchers, parents and teachers have suggested that high-school classes begin later in the morning to accommodate (适应) teens’ needs for more sleep. 36 However, in the meantime you’ll have to make your own adjustments. Here are some suggestions that may help you to sleep better.Set a regular bedtime.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28. From the passage we know .A. Annie knew how important she was to her motherB. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her sonC. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel WhiskersD. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store29. When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt .A. sadB. deeply movedC. annoyedD. ashamed30. Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world ?A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.B. Because her son was the most important person to her.C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

These media include newspapers, magazines, televisions, radios and outdoor signs. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazine to publish their ads. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.One of the several advantages is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the ads for information about products, services, or special sales.A main advantage of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound, and action directly to consumers in their home. And one advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, such as driving a car or working at home.Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded. While large, colorful outdoor signs, which people pass by repeatedly, easily attract attentions.Other ways of advertising include the use of transportation, window displays, point-of-sale, telephone directories, and novelties.。

高中英语真题：2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1. It is widely believed that robots will star(担任主角) in human’s future life. But how soon will it be before robots become so intelligent that they will be able to do things, such as teaching languages or looking after patients in hospital? Some experts believe this will happen within twenty years while others disagree.One London company, UAS(University Automated Systems) has already developed machines that can be used as “home helps” for old people unable to look after themselves and those who are living on their own or in special homes. These machines can now do such things as cooking eggs and cleaning the floor, and the company says that future models still accept simple voice instructions and can be controlled by a “brain” that is the equivalent (替代品) of the latest IBM microcomputer. The director of UAS, MrHenry Jeffries, believes that in the next five to ten years companies will have developed even more sophisticated (复杂的) robots for use in industry. By that time, it is likely that they will also have begun to sell new forms of these machines into ordinary homes. Robots could do a wide range of household tasks, such as preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and so on. By then, the price of such machines may have come down to as little as $1,000.But Dr Sandra Lomax, who has done research into artificial intelligence at Sussex University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), believes we have a long way to go before we can develop truly intelligent machines.Preparing an omelet (煎蛋) may seem easy enough. But suppose one of the eggs has gone bad, even the most “intelligent” robot would probably still use it. If something slightly unusual needs doing something that requires even a little of ordinary human imagination, a robot is useless. They need programming for even the simplest of tasks and are not able to learn from experience.

Tea, the most important of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century that tea first appeared in England.Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. The Duchess asked her servant to bring a tray of tea, bread, butter and cake to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.This pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880s upper class and society women would change into long gowns, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o’clock.Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty sandwiches，scones served with cream and jams. Cakes and pastries are also served. Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from silver teapots into delicate bone chinacups. Nowadays, however, in the average suburban home, afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea, usually produced using a teabag.24. Afternoon tea was introduced in England in________.A. 1880B. the mid 17th centuryC. 1840D. 19th century25. Traditional afternoon tea is made up of________.A.

Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford3. Hypothermia, which means a state in which the body's temperature is below 35.0 °C, is the cause of at least 1500 deaths a year in the United States. It is more common in older people and males. Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake -- not very much, but uncontrollably.The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of thecold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering.Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently.Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat. Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of “rewarming” a perso n needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.28. According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.A. He feels cold so he shakes deliberately.B. He can drink some wine to stop the shaking.C. Some common treatments can help him recover.D. He should be sent to the hospital immediately.29. Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?A. knock intoB. break intoC. look intoD. get into30. When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________A. Their body temperature drops below 35℃.B. The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.C. If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.D. Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.31. What’s the best title for the text? ________.A. Different kinds of hypothermiaB. Medical help is important in treating hypothermiaC. Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.D. How to avoid cold-weather injuries.4.Gene Technology to Benefit PeopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span (寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep; therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal ways. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.32. What do the underlined words “these two killers” refer to?A. Gene technology.B. Cancer and heart disease.C. Hereditary diseases and cancer.D. The couple who have cloned babies.33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Gene technology can do with hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth to a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out.34. In what way can gene technology help to treat hereditary diseases?A. People with hereditary diseases can live longer.B. Scientists find the wrong gene and correct it.C. Cancer and heart disease can be cured.D. Human babies can be cloned.35. What is the main purpose of the author’s writing this passage?A. To talk about the advantages of gene technology.B. To explain that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity.C. To tell the readers that gene technology will not benefit people.D. To describe how gene technology will benefit people.二、阅读填空(共2题)1. Recently some American scientists have given a piece of useful advice to people in industrialized nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 36The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led tonew kinds of sicknesses. 37 So they are called “diseases of civilization”. Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way as our ancestors did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A. These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.B. People today probably do not want to live the way people thousands of years ago did.C. Ancient people also lived in large groups.D. But today, we eat a lot of these.E. Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise.F. In that case, they would live much healthier.G. People today probably live the same life as people thousands of yearsago.2.Martin: Hey, Ruth. Where were you just now?Ruth: Oh, I went to see my father in hospital. He has 61 (infect) with lung disease.Martin: I'm sorry to hear that. 62 (compare) with other people, your father is a much heavier smoker, who has been addicted 63 smoking for over ten years.Ruth: Well, yes. I really wish he 64 (smoke) so much. But he is so 65 (accustom) to nicotine that he can hardly resist its temptation. And I find 66 very difficult to put up with him because he has become moody (喜怒无常的)．Martin: So, has he got any better in hospital?Ruth: Yeah, he seldom scolds me and asks politely for water when he feels thirsty. But 67 time he tries to swallow a capsule, he chokes. He just can't get them down very easily.Martin: Maybe you should ask the doctor for another prescription, and I think it's time that he68 (give) smoking in order to live 69 healthy life.Ruth: Thanks for your advice, Martin. I will try my best to persuade him to quit 70 (smoke)．三、完型填空(共1题)1.When I was very young, my family left from Cuba and lived in Chicago.

高中英语真题：学2015-2016学年高二上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily，it is a bad thing for young people．Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（忧郁症）．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys，and younger girls are the worst of all．The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”．According to the study，even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”，this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depressi on when it happens to girls．Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions．They won’t tell that to their parents．Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems，says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing．Trying romance often causes the depression．She advises kids not to jump into romance too early．During growing up，it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self．She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family．Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons，they need to give help．The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity（成熟）gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects．21．What’s th e main idea of the passage?A．Parents should forbid their children’s love．B．Puppy love may bring young people depression．C．Romance is a two-edged sword for adults．D．Romance is good for young people．22．Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A．Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness．B．Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior．C．Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions．D．Careless parents whose children are deep in love．23．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance．B．Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents．C．Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression．D．Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly．2.Going to outer space is a little like going camping. You have to carry with you all the food and equipment you need for your trip, so your food can’t be too heavy or hard to prepare. Plus, there are no refrigerators to keep food cold and fresh. Food with all the water dried out is lightweight and doesn’t spoil(变坏). So, many space foods are dried on Earth and stored in special packets.On Earth, gravity is the force that keeps your feet on the ground and your sandwich on your plate. But there’s no gravity in space. To keep food from floating(漂浮) away, astronauts on the Space Shuttle attach the packets to a special tray(托盘). The tray can be fixed to a wall or to the astronaut’s lap. To prepare their food, astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper. The liquid sticks to the food better. Regular salt and pepper would float away, maybe up an astronaut’s nose.Liquids float right out of cups and glasses, though. So astronauts drink everything from a small bag with a straw(吸管) that can be closed. Astronauts say that most space foods taste pretty good. Some, such as apples and pudding, are the same as the foods you eat on Earth.Astronauts eat tortillas instead of bread because they make fewer crumbs(碎屑). Floating crumbs could get stuck in equipment or an astronaut’s eye.Your body uses food in space the same way it does on Earth. Your body must deal with waste in space too. During takeoff and landing, astronauts can’t leave their seats to go to the bathroom. They wear diapers(尿布) under their spacesuits instead. The Space Shuttle has a bathroom the size of a smallcloset. The toilet has bars that keep astronauts from floating away. A strong flow of air is used instead of water to flush waste down the toilet.24. Why do astronauts use liquid forms of salt and pepper to prepare food?A. Liquid doesn’t spoil.B. Liquid is convenient to use in space.Liquid is lightweight. D. Astronauts are in great need of water.25. What do astronauts think of space foods?A. Most of them taste pleasant.B. They are mostly fruits.Most of them are rather cold. D. They contain too little meat.26. We can infer from the passage that astronauts ___________.A. drink from cups and glassesB. always wear diapers in spaceC. can move freely during landingD. must pay attention to crumbs in space27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Astronaut’s hard life in space.B. How astronauts go to the bathroom.C. The various foods astronauts eat in space.D. How astronauts eat and deal with waste in space.3. When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today’s work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence--knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.28. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________.A. he is forced to do thingsB. he can’t work at his bestC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks of his work too heavy29. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.B. Working conditions affect people’s physical health.C. Good relationship is the key to business success.D. Smart people are more functional in the work place.30. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ______.A. provide better suggestionsB. develop his own personalityC. give his employees a pay riseD. hide his own emotion of fear31. This passage is mainly about ______A. not forcing others to do thingsB. how to influence peopleC. how to develop your emotional intelligenceD. how to be a good leader4. Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who madepots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Rober ts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.32. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived.B. People’s characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.33. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containersD. built houses and furniture34. Suppose(假设) an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafyforest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. George LongstreetD. Donald Greenwood35. The underlined word descendants in the last paragraph means a person’s _____.A. later generationsB. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsors二、阅读填空(共2题)1.The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 36 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the pers on’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 If it is caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.A. It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.C. Everyone was new to the network once.D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.2.Paul Lucas can often be seen walking around the city of San Francisco.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them23.Who is the leading role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?A. Harry PotterB. DoryC. MowgliD. Newt ScamanderBChina has decided to end its decade-long one-child policy, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports.Introduced in 1979, the policy meant that many Chinese citizens could not have a second child without getting a fine. In rural (农村) areas, families were allowed to have two children if the first was a girl.Since the news came out, worldwide newspapers and people have showed great concern over the policy.“I’m shocked, to be honest,” said Stuart Gietel-Basten, an University of Oxford demographer who has argued for the end of the one-child policy. “It’s one of those things that you have been working on and suggesting they should do something for years and it finally happened.”London School of Economics Professor Hyun Bang Shin said the end of the policy was certain. With more and more people expected to move into China’s cities, the burden to provide welfare and public resources by the government increases. "China is an aging country. It is quite clear the younger generation will bear a greater burden in the coming years," Shin said. Yong Cai, a sociology professor at University of North Carolina and expert on the one-child policy, said the change announced Thursday was "at least 10 years later than it should be". “But better than never,” he added.“This really marks a historic point to end one of the most costly policies in human history,” said experts on Chinese affairs.24.What is the common attitude towards the news of ending the one-child policy in China?A. supportiveB. opposedC. worriedD. indifferent (漠不关心的)25. Where will you find this passage?A. a magazineB. a bookC. on TV showD. a newspaper26. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the one-child policy?A. A couple must have a second child if their first child is a girl.B. All Chinese citizens will get a fine if they have a second child.C. Generally, couples in rural areas have more chances to have kids than city couples.D. One-child policy means every couple is allowed to have only one child.27. What does Yong Cai mean?A. We shouldn’t end the one-child policy until 10 years later.B. We should have ended the one-child policy 10 years before.C. We shouldn’t begin the one-child policy 10 years before.D. We should begin the one-child policy 10 years before.CWilliam Lindesay, 59, has written five books on the Great Wall of China. His most recent, “The Great Wall in 50 Objects,” has just been published, and it will be released in Britain and the United States in 2016.When William was in his primary school, he found the Great Wall in a map for the first time. From that moment, he had in his mind that when he grew up he would walk along the Great Wall. In his 20's, when he almost forgot his dream, his brother reminded him to go to China and visit the Great Wall. To him, China was unknown. So it's a challenge for him to a strange country on his own. However he made up his mind to have the chance, for he thought he was in good shape — a two-hour, 39-minute marathoner (马拉松运动员) — so he set off.So far, he has been living in China for 30 years. He has studied the wall by looking at its grand remains and the ruins. He often visits museums and sees many relics behind glass. Many parts and information about the wall have been lost, or some incomplete. He thought of that as a pity because the relics have their special stories. "I'd like the relics of the Great Wall which can speak out the stories." So many history stories are told in his books.William was welcomed by some museums when doing his research, but some were rude and refused his visiting the museums. He said, “Museums are the best classrooms for knowledge and education, and the relics are not prisoners. People have the right to receive knowledge in museums.”William Lindesay is considered a friend of China for the protection contributions he has made to the Great Wall.28.When did William Lindesay take interest in the Great Wall?A. in his childhoodB. at the age of 20C. in 1984D. in high school29.Which of the following is NOT the reason of William’s coming to China?A. His brother reminded of his dream.B. He thought he was in good shape.C. China is an unknown country to him.D. He dreamed of walking along the Great Wall.30.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. He studied the wall by looking at its remains and the ruins.B. All the information about the wall can be found in museums.C. People will visit the Great Wall after reading his book.D. We will know more history stories in his book.31.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The Great Wall in 50 Objects is the fifth book of William Lindesay.B. William Lindesay likes to study the Great Wall.C. There are many history stories about the Great Wall .D. Will iam Lindesay’s study and contributions to the Great Wall.DHave you ever thought of living in the darkness without light? You would say you would see nothing, let alone live like other animals. If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to night animals on this planet. However, we are day creatures, with eyesadapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary (进化的) fact. So it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The result of the engineering is called light pollution. Light pollution is the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine at night. It changes the light levels at night to which many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted, but it really affects our life. In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that causes our fear of the dark. We’ve lit up the night to avoid the fear without considering other species on the earth. Light is like a powerful force, and to many species it acts as a magnet (磁铁).Scientists speak of some birds being “caught” by ligh ts on land. Moving at night, birds tend to run into brightly lit tall buildings. Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer too high night light levels that influence every aspect of their behavior.We do need darkness. Living in our artificial light, we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural tradition—the light of the stars and the song of day and night. In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe.32. According to the passage, human beings .A. prefer to live in the darknessB. were curious about the midnight worldC. are used to living in the day lightD. had to stay at home with the light of the moon33. What does “it” (Paragraph 1) most probably refer to?A. The night.B. The moonC. The skyD. The planet34. The writer mentions birds and frogs to .A. provide examples of animal protectionB. explain why the number of certain species has declinedC. compare the living habits of both speciesD. show how light pollution affects animals35. It is implied in the last paragraph that ___________.A. light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animalsB. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritagesC. human beings should reflect on their position in the universeD. human beings cannot go to the outer space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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
