One week.BIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century — most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719 — but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy (识字) rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.” Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters —from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim —were held up as moral touchstones. Toda y Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon (名人堂) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly t hat his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture — to understand how he made himself a lasting one.4. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were seen as nearly worthless.C. They were popular among the rich.D. They were written mostly by women.5. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress ________.A. his importance in literatureB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his reputation in France6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce an English novel.B. To remember a great writer.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.CWe’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with s mall talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.7. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Impatience with slow service.D. Absence of communication between strangers.8. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Relating to other people.B. Showing good manners.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.9. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people’s confidence.C. It makes people feel good.D. It matters as much as formal talk.10. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Uncomfortable SilenceD. Benefits of Small TalkDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear, we are numb (麻木的) to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all adm itted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, “a ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.11. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .A. anxious to do wondersB. sensitive to others’ feelingsC. likely to develop unpleasant habitsD. eager to explore the world around them12. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To stop complaining all the time.B. To avoid jumping to conclusionsC. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.13. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they .A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. question the accuracy of the field guidesD. care only about the names of birds14. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.B. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.C. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should .A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB. get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC. open our mind to new things and ideasD. try our best to protect nature第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 7.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018-2019学年度第一学期高二期中考试英语试题（文理科）本试卷满分150分考试时间100分钟第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分)根据下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AA lot of kids have dreams they will never achieve due to the limitations of their little bodies. They want to fly, or to become a dinosaur, or to learn how to shoot webs out of their fingers like Spiderman.Luka Tavcar, 12, has muscular dystrophy(萎缩) and is totally dependent on his wheelchair. Nevertheless, late last year, he had an inspired plan: to be photographed walking around and having fun.He approached Matej Peljhan, an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation(康复) center near Ljubljana, Slovenia, where Luka is a patient.At first, Peljhan was perplexed. How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion? “Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun, but it seemed impossible,” he says.Then Peljhan had a brainstorm: Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and, with the help of an assistant, Peljhan would pose the boy as if he were jumping, climbing stairs, moving downhill on a skateboard, and playing basketball. Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above. The photos took about a month to produce; all wereshot early this year.Peljhan, who lost his right arm and left eye as a child, says his disabilities motivated him to make the photographs. “I understand people with limitations,”he says.He named the series the little Prince after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust, hope and friendship. Luka loves the photos.Peljhan himself understands what it is like to live with limitations- he lost his right arm and left eye as a child. “He wants to stay positive,” the photographer explains. “Luka’s imagination helps him forget his phisical limitation”, says Peljhan. “He’s fragile, but he can see the world differently.”21. What does the underlined word “perplexed” in paragraph 4 mean?A . Confused B.AnnoyedC . Confident D.Disappointed22. What drove Peljhan to take pictures of Luka?A.The payment Luka offered.B.Luka’s strong determination.C.His own phisical limitations.D.The friendship between the two.23. According to the passage the pictures .A make Luka feel sad.make Luka stay positiveB.encourage Luka to do exerciseC.interest Luka in photographingD.BOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.24. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A . Unfriendly B.Untidy C.Gentle D.Kind25. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA.he thought the old man was poor.B.he wanted to start a conversation.C.he intended to show his politeness.D.he would like to thank the old man.26. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?A . Proud B.Pitiful C.Astonished D.Regretful27. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?A.We should learn to be generous.B.It is honorable to help those in need.C.People in high positions are not like what we expect. D.We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations(康乃馨). A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries(烘焙店), telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.28. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?Parents bring up children.A.BParents give love and care to children..Parents educate children to be good persons.C.DParents pass away before children grow up..29. What do you think “florists” do?They sell flowers.A.They make and sell bread.B.CThey offer enough room for having family parties..They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. D.30. What do you know from the passageMother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.A.BFewer women worked outside the home in the past..CNot all the children respect their parents..Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.D.31. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, .people usually have family partiesA.Beveryone goes to visit the cemetery.Cchildren always go to parents’ home.Dhand-made cards are the most valuable gifts.DBlack Friday-the day after Thanksgiving Day in the United States-signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and the Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers（零售商）routinely open their doors as early as 4 am and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intend on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they will be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid 1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to ciculate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms, operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usuallay shown “in black ink”. Thus , being in the black is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to stop on Black Friday, or who just don’t want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday for shoppers can take advantage of the comfort of getting many online deals from their homes.32. On Black Friday, the Americans .A.don’t have to go to work as usualB.look exactly like the CanadiansC.are usually busy doing shoppingD.stay at home and relax themselves33. The underlined word “lure” in paragraph 2 probably means .A . attract B.protectC . persuade D.remind34. How do the retailers understand Black Friday?A.It has the same meaning as Boxing Day.B.They usually lose some money on the day.C.It always keeps them very busy all day.D.It probably brings them more money.35. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to . A.state the development of Cyber MondayB tell the difference between red and black.introduce Black Friday to the readersC.explain the meaning of Boxing DayD.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入空白处的最佳选项。

The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered big monkeys.Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later，she returned to Africa to begin a long－term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up a camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She founded her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24，1967.Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve t his，she needed to recognize individual gorillas，which required that the gorillas get used to her presence．By copying gorillas' behaviour and sounds，Fossey began to gain their trust，and in 1970, an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.In 1977，one of Fossey's favourite gorillas，Digit，was killed by poachers and she set up the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts i n the same year.On December 26，1985，Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably，Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.

That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired if you have limited vacation days. The best way is to focus on a place and more deeply.27While traveling in the United States, do be sure to smile, ask questions, say “please” and “thank you”, and be patient. In almost all cases, your kindness will be rewarded by locals who want to show you the best of their cities and towns. Do obey traffic signs and laws.Traveling outside of the United States, I have noticed that stop lights and “No Parking” signs in some parts of the world are only suggestions for drivers. Not in America. Drivers must come to a full stop at a red light and remain stopped until the light turns green. 28Do be on time.America takes punctuality very seriously. 29 Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to get to some place, especia lly if you’re not familiar with the area as unexpected delays can happen, such as heavy traffic.A. It is considered rude to be late.B. Besides, drivers should obey the speed limit.C. Do be kind, smile, and enjoy yourself.D. Don’t think you can smoke anywhere.E. United States is very large.F. Try to use the vocabulary they use in their everyday life.G. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about.答题卡：1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29三：把下列短语翻译为英语（每题2分，共28分）1为…做准备 ________ 2查字典 ________3对…有影响 ________ 4以…为基础 ________5属于 ________ 6把某人视为 ________7到这时为止 ________ 8 是…的缩写 ________9 以…的速度 ________ 10 给某人提供某物 ________11 过去常常做某事 ________ 12 偿还 ________13在底部 ________ 14 听从某人的指示________四：用单词的适当形式填空（每题1分，共5分）1.

山西省晋中市平遥县第二中学高二英语12月月考试题
山西省晋中市平遥县第二中学2019-2020学年高二英语12月月考试题第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
AThe African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will alsodisappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.2.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality.D.Deciding the conditions.3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.4.The passage is developed mainly by _____.A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examplesBWalking is so simple and convenient that it couldn’t possibly count as exercise, right? Wrong.Study after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.The study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased.That’s good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States.Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain.According to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise(有氧运动), such as swimming, drop out during the first few months.Here are some basics for walking exercise.Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk.Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walk.Do that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and vigor(精力).Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back.Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent.Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up.Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walking.This allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down.5.The survey mentioned in Paragraph 3 shows that ________.A.80% of the women surveyed are walking as a means of exerciseB.50% of the women surveyed want to swim as a means of exerciseC.walking is more easily maintained than other types of aerobic exerciseD.the effect of walking is as good as that of other types of aerobic exercise6.Which of the following statements is TRUE about walking for exercise?A.Walking five days a week, 30 minutes altogether, is the goal.B.Increase at least 10% of the amount of each previous week.C.Each walk should start with the pace of doing shopping.D.Walking as much as you can in the first week is suggested.7.What is the purpose of the easy-paced walking in every walk?A.To help reduce your blood pressure.B.To help reduce your risk of heart disease.C.To help your body lose fat.D.To help your heart rate change gradually.8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.How to Keep Healthy?B.Walking for ExerciseC.Different Ways of ExerciseD.Is Walking a Type of Exercise?CWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight,while the French, who consume rich food,continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French,instead,tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptanceand the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.9.In what way are the French different from Americans accordingto Dr. Joseph Mercola?A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C.They regard eating as a key part of their life style.D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.10.This text is mainly about the relationship between _________.A.Americans and the FrenchB.life style and obesityC.children and adultsD.fast food and overweight11.This text is mainly developed .A.by contrastB.by spaceC.by processD.by classification12.Where does this text probably come from?A.A TV interview.B.A food advertisement.C.A health report.D.A book review.DThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million.Today it is estimated that 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose of learning English and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers,English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced,and not always used by native speakers.lt is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations.lt is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry,law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.13.What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language14.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B.There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C.It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.15.According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B.It is used in former British colonies.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.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入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A．He got lost. B．He broke his skis. C．He hurt his eyes. D．He caught a cold.22．How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A．He found a shelter. B．He lighted some branches.C．He kept on skiing. D．He built a snow cave.23．On Tuesday, Nicholas________.A．returned to his shelter safely B．was saved by a searcherC．got stuck in the snow D．stayed where he was24．Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ________.A．did the right things in the dangerous situationB．watched Grylls' TV program regularlyC．created some tips for survival D．was very hardworking.(七选五每题3分，共15分)How to Relieve Exam StressExam time is here and you are under stress.You're stuck indoors hitting the books，writing papers，preparing projects.With exams to come，you will sure feel stressed.Faced with something stressful，your body reacts.____25 Yes You Can!Believe in yourself that you can pass the exam.Don't focus on how bad it will be for you if you perform poorly.Instead，focus on how good it will be when you do well.26___Don't get into a panic though.Just close your eyes and take long slow breaths.Doing so will calm your nerves and help you get back your focus.27___Research has shown that cramming(临时抱佛脚) at the last minute for exams is not efficient.It only adds more stress to your body and mind by lack of sleep and poor nutrition.Review your notes and read your books.You may have already mastered all the knowledge you need.So try to get a good night's sleep.A rested body and a sharp mind will put you in a good state.Maintain a Normal LifeOne of the best ways you can relieve the stress of exams is to maintain a normal life.After studying you should reward yourself._28____It will do wonders to relieve your stress，but be sure to get back in time and get a good night's sleep.29___Food is energy for the brain，so be sure to eat well.Try brain foods such as bananas，other fruits and foods high in carbon.Exercise is also a great way to relieve stress.Playing basketball with friends or working out at the gym will help reduce stress.Research has also shown that it requires sleep to memorize what you learn.If you cram all night and get little sleep，you are not likely to remember much because your brain has not had the sleep you need to file away(归档) the knowledge.Having your body rested and your mind alert for an exam will put you in the best position to do well.A．Don't Work Too Hard.

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

Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.”In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year take a cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain, children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and put down again sharply) by their friends, the same number of times as their age.In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party. In most parts of the US, 21 is the age at which people can drink alcohol legally.In Britain, people celebrate 21st birthday less. Many adults dislike getting older and a few lie about their age. But in general older people are now much more willing to tell others their age. You may see a sign by the side of a road saying: “Dave Ellis 40 today!”, put there by Dave’s friends. At about 65, people retire, and those who have reached this age are called senior citizens. Few people live to be 100, so a 100th birthday is very special. In Britain, people reaching this age may receive card containing a printed message from the Queen.5. What’s the main characteristic of children’s birthday cards?A. They are full of pictures of scenery.B. There are some flowers on them.。

To gather information for my paper, I started visiting patients at Dr. Sardjito Hospital.One evening, I was in a ward (病房), desperately “hunting” for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. Holding a patient questionnaire, I walked towards a room. A patient called Ms A was lying in bed, clearly still weak. There were no relatives or friends with her. Even the bed beside her was empty. I sat down in a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked if I could gather some information from her. She agreed.After I finished, I prepared to leave. Before I could stand up, Ms A said, “I haven’t seen you here before. Are you new?” “Not really, Ma’am. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. Ms A started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and her struggles to earn money.Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms A’s hand. Finally, Ms A stopped talking, “I’m very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel relieved now.” Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. “It’s OK, Ma’am. It’s part of my duty,” I said.A few days later, when I returned to the ward, I discovered Ms A had left hospital as her condition had improved.Ms A taught me the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.8. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A desperate patientB. Useful conversation skillsC. My unexpected teacherD. Any help is better than no help9. Why did the author visit the patients at Dr. Sardjito Hospital?A. It was her duty.B. She needed medical information for her paper.C. She was going to get a good position there.D. She wanted to experience the suffering of patients.10. Before the author interviewed Ms A, Ms A was feeling _______.A. lonelyB. relaxedC. nervousD. annoyed11. We can conclude from the text that _______.A. a doctor must learn how to treat each patientB. the author’s treatment made Ms A recover quicklyC. it is d octors’ duty to listen to whatever patients sayD. listening is sometimes the best thing a doctor can do for patientsDDo you still use a power button（开机键）to open your smart phones or computers? You are out of fashion! Now most smart phones are using facial-recognition system, and we already have machines that can know you from your fingers and your voice too. But some companies are still willing to invent other systems to “break”these systems, for example, the eye-recognition system. As is reported, you’ll just have to look at the computers and machines, and this system will be able to tell you who you are by looking at your eyes, even when you are wearing glasses.Do you wonder if this system will work well? The answer is YES. All you need is just look at your machines. The eye scanner（扫描仪）is put in the cameras of your machines. The eye-recognition system is safer and easier then other systems. This is because everyone’s eyes are different Since the system works easily, you won't have to remember a group of code when you want to open your computer or take money out of a bank in the future. Eye-recognition system is better than other kinds of systems because your eyes don't change as you get older, and don't get dirty like hands or fingers. Even twins' eyes are not the same. So the eye-recognition system can be up to 94 percent correct, but it depends on how good the technology is. Some systems may only 51% right. In Britain, it was found that 91 percent of the people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. So scientists think it will become more popular than other systems.The eye-recognition system has already been tested in shops in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon it will become a popular way among public. In the future, your computer will be opened by looking at your eyes.12．How does the eye-recognition system work?A．You put your fingers on the machine and look at it.B．You say something to the machine and look at itC．You turn on the power button and stand before it.D．You look at the machine and it can recognize who you are.13．The underlined word code in the second paragraph probably means _________ in Chinese.A．密码B．按钮C．符号D．钥匙14．Which sentence is TRUE about the eye-recognition system according to the passage? A．The eye-recognition system doesn’t work if you wear gla sses.B．You must remember the code as well as looking at the machine.C．If you get older, the eye-recognition system can still remember you.D．The eye-recognition system is so good that it will never go wrong.15．Which of the following is the reason why the system can be up to 94% correct? A．Your eyes never get older with age.B．Your eyes don’t get dirty easily like your hands.C．Your machines must be good.D．Everyone’s eyes are different from others.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入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
山西省平遥中学高二英语上学期期中试题
2017-2018学年度第一学期高二期中考试英语试题（文理科）本试卷满分150分考试时间100分钟第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分60 分）第一节:（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ALiquid Paper (修正液) was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham. She was 17 when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary, even though she didn’t know how to type. The company she worked for sent her to a secretary school, and she was typing in no time at all.The 1950s had seen the widespread use of the electric typewriter, which typed faster but also meant more mistakes. Also, mistakes made by early electric typewriters were very hard to erase, which caused problems for Bette.In order to make extra money she used her talent to paint holiday windows at the bank. Then one day, it suddenly occurred to her that she could create a paint to cover up type-writing mistakes.It worked! In 1956, Bette sold her first bottles of the new product, which she called “Mistake Out”. She made it in her kitchen, and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage.By 1957, she was selling 100 bottles a month and had gotten a patent (专利) for her product, which she now called “Liquid Paper.” Sales continued to grow, as more and more people heard about Liquid Paper, through word-of-mouth and by reading about it in magazines.In the 1960s, Bette bought a machine to help her produce Liquid Paper in large quantities. In 1971, she sold 2 million bottles. In 1979, she sold the company for 47.5 million dollars. She didn’t live to see the end o f the contract (合同), dying in 1980, at the age of 56, in Texas.Bette’s invention continues to be used every day by secretaries and other peoplein the office and wherever typewriters are used.1. When Bette began to work in a bank, she ______.A.was too young to typeB. had graduated from secretary schoolC.had no experience in typingD. taught herself about typing2. It can be inferred that the first Liquid Paper ______.A. was produced by handB. was made by machineC. was bottled in the kitchenD. was tested in the factory3. What is the passage mainly about?A. A rock group.B. A secretary.C. Liquid Paper.D. Mistake Out.4. The passage is organized mainly in order of ______.A. importanceB. timeC. spaceD. popularityBHappy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity（成熟）—or so we hope．We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well．For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old? That is a different story.Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented (以年轻人为中心)American culture．Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel．”Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old．People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom．But Americans seem to favor those who are young, or at least “young at heart”．Many ol der Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden．Economically, “senior citizens” often try just to get by．Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income．Social security benefitsusually cannot make up the difference．Older people may suffer from poor nutrition (营养), medical care, and housing. Some even have the experience of age discrimination(歧视). American sociologist(社会学家) Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets．She was often treated rudely--even cheated and robbed．However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect．Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast．Why? People are living longer．Fewer babies are being born．And middle-aged “baby boomers”(婴儿潮) are rapidly entering the group of the elderly．America may soon be a place where wrinkles（皱纹）are “in”．Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers．5. Growing up is a wonderful thing because ________.A. people can celebrate their birthdays.B. people can become more and mature and wiser.C. people can receive many presents.D. people will feel younger at heart.6. We can infer from the second paragraph that _________.A. young people lack experience and wisdom.B. American older people often joke about their old age.C. American culture is very young.D. different countries have different opinions on the old age.7. The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means “_________.”A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medicalcareB. the old people in America are probably leading a hard life without goodnutrition, medical care or housing.C. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65.D. American social security benefits are not good.8. Fro m the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replacedby _______.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fastCThe human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mentalwell-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.9. Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things _______.A. tend to affect human survival immediatelyB. are easy to rememberC. are much more important than other thingsD. can make people live much happier10. According to this passage, people may find happiness in ________.A. being famousB. chasing powerC. setting life goalsD. earning money11. In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us to _________.A. think more about our futureB. be positive in our life and workC. focus on everything in our lifeD. only enjoy the present moment12. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. Why people remember positive things easily.B. Why people remember negative things easily.C. What makes people happy.D. What makes people sad.DEmail has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is also changing the way we communicate and build relationship. These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern about the way we write.Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email. “The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email. It is the purest form of written speech.”Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.13. From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.A. careless people use email more than careful peopleB. email requires people to change their native languageC. professors in universities don’t need to use emailD. people communicate by email full of mistakes14. In Lancashire’s opini on, email is a wonderful technology because _______.A. it can be useful all over the worldB. it is the fastest way to communicateC. we can express ourselves in a free wayD. we can save a lot of paper15. This passage mainly shows us that ______.A. people should stop using email to communicateB. experts hold different opinions about email writingC. Americans only use email to communicateD. email makes people lose interest in English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入空白处的最佳选项。

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he didwas to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. Hehad walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.21．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A．He got lost. B．He broke his skis. C．He hurt his eyes.D．He caught a cold.22．How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A．He found a shelter. B．He lighted some branches.C．He kept on skiing. D．He built a snow cave.23．On Tuesday, Nicholas________.A．returned to his shelter safely B．was saved by a searcherC．got stuck in the snow D．stayed where he was24．Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ________.A．did the right things in the dangerous situationB．watched Grylls' TV program regularlyC．created some tips for survival D．was very hardworking.(七选五每题3分，共15分)How to Relieve Exam StressExam time is here and you are under stress.You're stuck indoors hitting the books，writing papers，preparing projects.With exams to come，you will sure feel stressed.Faced with something stressful，your body reacts.____25Yes You Can!Believe in yourself that you can pass the exam.Don't focus on how bad it will be for you if you perform poorly.Instead，focus on how good it will be when you do well.26___Don't get into a panic though.Just close your eyes and take long slow breaths.Doing so will calm your nerves and help you get back your focus.27___Research has shown that cramming(临时抱佛脚) at the last minute for exams is not efficient.It only adds more stressto your body and mind by lack of sleep and poor nutrition.Review your notes and read your books.You may have already mastered all the knowledge you need.So try to get a good night's sleep.A rested body and a sharp mind will put you in a good state.Maintain a Normal LifeOne of the best ways you can relieve the stress of exams is to maintain a normal life.After studying you should reward yourself._28____It will do wonders to relieve your stress，but be sure to get back in time and get a good night's sleep.29___Food is energy for the brain，so be sure to eat well.Try brain foods such as bananas，other fruits and foods high in carbon.Exercise is also a great way to relieve stress.Playingbasketball with friends or working out at the gym will help reduce stress.Research has also shown that it requires sleep to memorize what you learn.If you cram all night and get little sleep，you are not likely to remember much because your brain has not had the sleep you need to file away(归档) the knowledge.Having your body rested and your mind alert for an exam will put you in the best position to do well.A．Don't Work Too Hard. B．Don't Cram for Exams.C．Eat Well，Exercise and Sleep.D．There are various ways to solve our problems.E．It is normal to feel nervous before and during an exam.F．Go out with friends or get a good meal and enjoy yourself.G．You need to understand this is a normal reactionand take steps to deal with it.答案卡：121.期望、盼望2.对…印象深刻3.换句话说4.事实上5.对某人有耐心6.允许某人做….7.过时、过期8.与….保持联系9.交换10.得出结论11.保持平衡12.提出、想出13.聚精会神在…. 14.迷恋四：用单词适当形式填空（每题1分，共5分）1.

They want to fly, or to become a dinosaur, or to learn how to shoot webs out of their fingers like Spiderman.Luka Tavcar, 12, has muscular dystrophy(萎缩) andis totally dependent on his wheelchair. Nevertheless, late last year, he had an inspired plan: to be photographed walking around and having fun.He approached Matej Peljhan, an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation(康复) center near Ljubljana, Slovenia, where Luka is a patient.At first, Peljhan was perplexed. How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion? “Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun, but it seemed impossible,”he says.Then Peljhan had a brainstorm: Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and, with the help of an assistant, Peljhan would pose the boy as if he were jumping, climbing stairs, moving downhill on a skateboard, and playing basketball. Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above. The photos took about a month to produce; all wereshot early this year.Peljhan, who lost his right arm and left eye as a child, says his disabilities motivated him to make the photographs. “I understand people with limitations,”he says.He named the series the little Prince after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust, hope and friendship. Luka loves the photos.Peljhan himself understands what it is like to live with limitations- he lost his right arm and left eye as a child. “He wants to stay positive,”the photographer explains. “Luka’s imagination helps him forget his phisical limitation”, says Peljhan. “He’s fragile, but he can see the world differently.”21. What does the underlined word “perplexed”inparagraph 4 mean?. Confused.Annoyed.Confident.Disappointed 22. What drove Peljhan to take pictures of Luka?.The payment Luka offered..Luka’s strong determination..His own phisical limitations..The friendship between the two.23. According to the passage the pictures .make Luka feel sad.make Luka stay positive.encourage Luka to do exercise.interest Luka in photographing.BOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke abouta wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest andmost powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.24. What does the underlined word “disheveled”mean?.Unfriendly .Untidy .Gentle .Kind25. The author bought coffee for the old man because.he thought the old man was poor. .he wanted to start a conversation. .he intended to show his politeness..he would like to thank the old man.26. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his friend?.Proud .Pitiful .Astonished .Regretful27. What is the message mainly expressed in the story?.We should learn to be generous..It is honorable to help those in need..People in high positions are not like what we expect..We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations(康乃馨). A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. Theyoften have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries(烘焙店), telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.28. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?Parents bring up children..Parents give love and care to children..Parents educate children to be good persons...Parents pass away before children grow up.29. What do you think “florists”do?.They sell flowers..They make and sell bread..They offer enough room for having family parties..They sell special gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.30. What do you know from the passage.Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.Fewer women worked outside the home in the. past..Not all the children respect their parents..Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.31. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, ..people usually have family parties.everyone goes to visit the cemetery.children always go to parents’home.hand-made cards are the most valuable giftsDBlack Friday-the day after Thanksgiving Day in theUnited States-signals the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and the Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005,it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers（零售商）routinely open their doors as early as 4 am and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intend on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they will be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the namestarted in Philadelphia in the mid 1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday”name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to ciculate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms, operating at a loss is called being “in the red”because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usuallay shown “in black ink”. Thus , being in the black is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to stop on Black Friday, or who just don’t want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday for shoppers can take advantage of the comfort of getting many online deals from their homes.32. On Black Friday, the Americans ..don’t have to go to work as usual.look exactly like the Canadians.are usually busy doing shopping.stay at home and relax themselves33. The underlined word “lure”in paragraph 2 probably means .. attract.protect.persuade.remind34. How do the retailers understand Black Friday?It has the same meaning as Boxing Day.They usually lose some money on the day..It always keeps them very busy all day..It probably brings them more money..35. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .state the development of Cyber Monday.tell the difference between red and black.introduce Black Friday to the readers.explain the meaning of Boxing Day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入空白处的最佳选项。

Many peop le feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause o f the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, ther eal reason lies inside their bodies. At that time –about eight hours after y ouwake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow dow n and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where th ere was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the da y. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes wor k difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are g ood for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested bodyand m ind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where napsare traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as hear tdisease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Re member that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you getup.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired andsleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.43.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?A. About 12:30 pm.B. Ab out 2:30 pmC. About 1:30 pm.D. A bout 3:30 pm44.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?A.You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.B.You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.45.Naps are good for everyone in any climate because ______________ .A.a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.B.a daily nap benefits your health.C.people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who don’t.D. All the above.46.What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep Pattern.D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.DI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my professi on stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.

Somethingreally,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all. And what I learne d from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned tolook at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published,I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard workcan lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new world record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since t hen.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantlya year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say i t’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a free hotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9．How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A．more than 3 B．more than 2 C．more than 4 D．more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A．never fight with others B．never be defeated by othersC．always fight with others D．always be defeated by others11．According to the text , he got as the world champion .A．a gold medal B．a seat beltC．hot dogs for free the whole year D．a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?”or “What do you think of the weather lately?”Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include youreducation and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared.

I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their children fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweetand salty foods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. 19 . What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem.20 , as well as forcing them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightB. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooC. If there were fewer of these restaurantsD. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF. I feel there are a number of reasons for thisG.

AThe African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will alsodisappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.1.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.2.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality.D.Deciding the conditions.3.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.4.The passage is developed mainly by _____.A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examplesBWalking is so simple and convenient that it couldn’t possibly count as exercise, right? Wrong.Study after study shows that regular walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.The study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice shows that the blood pressure of the overweight men being tested improved and the amount of body fat greatly decreased.That’s good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States.Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain.According to a survey, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise(有氧运动), such as swimming, drop out during the first few months.Here are some basics for walking exercise.Walk at a pace that makes you breathe heavily, but still able to talk.Your goal, first and foremost, is to walk five days a week, 30 minutes a walk.Do that, and you are getting the base-level amount of exercise that research says should maintain your health and vigor(精力).Walk for as long as you are comfortable the first week, even if it is just to your mailbox and back.Each following week, increase that amount by no more than 10 percent.Start every walk with five minutes of easy-paced walking, about the same pace at which you do shopping, to get your body warmed up.Then, cool down at the end of each walk with another five minutes of easy-paced walking.This allows your heart rate to gradually speed up and slow down.5.The survey mentioned in Paragraph 3 shows that ________.A.80% of the women surveyed are walking as a means of exerciseB.50% of the women surveyed want to swim as a means of exerciseC.walking is more easily maintained than other types of aerobic exerciseD.the effect of walking is as good as that of other types of aerobic exercise6.Which of the following statements is TRUE about walking for exercise?A.Walking five days a week, 30 minutes altogether, is the goal.B.Increase at least 10% of the amount of each previous week.C.Each walk should start with the pace of doing shopping.D.Walking as much as you can in the first week is suggested.7.What is the purpose of the easy-paced walking in every walk?A.To help reduce your blood pressure.B.To help reduce your risk of heart disease.C.To help your body lose fat.D.To help your heart rate change gradually.8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.How to Keep Healthy?B.Walking for ExerciseC.Different Ways of ExerciseD.Is Walking a Type of Exercise?CWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight,while the French, who consume rich food,continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French,instead,tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptanceand the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.9.In what way are the French different from Americans accordingto Dr. Joseph Mercola?A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C.They regard eating as a key part of their life style.D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.10.This text is mainly about the relationship between _________.A.Americans and the FrenchB.life style and obesityC.children and adultsD.fast food and overweight11.This text is mainly developed .A.by contrastB.by spaceC.by processD.by classification12.Where does this text probably come from?A.A TV interview.B.A food advertisement.C.A health report.D.A book review.DThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million.Today it is estimated that 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose of learning English and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers,English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced,and not always used by native speakers.lt is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations.lt is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry,law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.13.What would be the best title for this passage?A.The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB.International CommunicationsC.The Standard Varieties of EnglishD.English as a World Language14.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B.There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C.It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.15.According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B.It is used in former British colonies.C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.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入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfya deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hopethat I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new world record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since t hen.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantly a year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say it’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a free hotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9．How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A．more than 3 B．more than 2 C．more than 4 D．more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A．never fight with others B．never be defeated by othersC．always fight with others D．always be defeated by others 11．According to the text , he got as the world champion .A．a gold medal B．a seat beltC．hot dogs for free the whole year D．a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?” or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may havereceived in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in anyprevious work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplishedyour tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobileon and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than theselling points you try to make.12. The passage is mainly about ______.A. importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job interviewsB. the typical questions asked in job interviewsC. some common mistakes found in job interviewsD.Do’s and Don’ts in job interviews13. A "breaking the ice" type of question is _______.A. a question that makes people unhappyB. a sharp question that makes people angryC. an opening question asked to make people less nervousD. a question asked about serious topic14. All of the following are considered to be the interviewee’s qualificationsexcept ____.A. educational backgroundB. social backgroundC. all kinds of special training receivedD. experience in previous work15. ______ is not mentioned in the passage as a mistake found in job interviews.A.
