I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word “sleep-over” to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what “cancer” means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (睡衣)，so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. “Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time...”.Of course, I finally fell asleep.The next morning, I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do — I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. “WHO DID THIS?” She screa med, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened — Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ‘‘Elvis Presley died!”The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I, was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.51. The author had to spend the night at Peters' because ________.A. the famous singer Elvis Presley died that nightB. her mother allowed her to do soC. she and her friends were having a sleepover partyD. she enjoyed her cake there52. Mrs. Peters got angry because ________.A. all the girls slept at her houseB. Elvis Presley passed awayC. her husband was rude to herD. she found the wet pajamas53. From the story, we know Mrs. Peters was ________.A. a crazy womanB. a fan of Elvis PresleyC. a woman for perfectionD. a woman who hated to wash pajamas54. The passage is mainly about ________.A. an adventure experienceB. an embarrassing childhood incidentC. a friendship between two girlsD. an unfriendly hostessBOwning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are... but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobilephone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity. “55. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.B. Nine-tenths spend over three hours checking work emails.C. One-fourth check their first mail between 11 pm and midnight.D. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.56. The underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph can be replaced by ““.A. callingB. usingC. reachingD. getting57.What can we conclude from the text?A. Every coin has two sidesB. It never rains but pours.C. All that glitters is not gold..D. It’s no good crying over spilt milk.58. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Workaholics like smartphones.B. Employers don’t like smartphones.C. Smartphones make our life easier.D. Smartphones bring about extra work.CThe power of humor and laugher is numerous. They entertain us and make us feel good. But, above all, we have discovered that humor and laughter are the best medicine. They relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and are anti-aging and longevity facilitators.They are extremely necessary for helping us to find and maintain a balance between life and work. However, they are slipping away from us. We have become far too serious. The only ones who still enjoy humor, laughter, fun and play to the fullest are young children. Children tend to laugh an average of 200 times a day. For adults, however, it is a totally different story.In the 1950s people laughed on average 18 times a day. Today, we are lucky if we average between 4-6 times a day.As a matter of fact, a recent study found that people laugh 6 more times in the presence of one person but 30 more times in a group of people. You can get a chuckle(咯咯笑) from jokes you get on the Internet, but it is not the same as belly jiggling laughter (a deep laugh) you get when you interact with others.Socializing with friends and relatives was much looked forward to. However, this is no longer the case. In fact, the majority of people can hardly find time, nor do they have the inclination towards socializing outside home. They turn to electronic media such as television, computers, the Internet, videos, CDs, and audio equipment, which can provide them with instant self-entertainment at the push of a button.The workplace does not fare(进展) much better. Due to the pressures to produce more in the same or fewer hours available and to compete, for example, in a manufacturing field with cheaper labor elsewhere in the world, humor and laughter in the workplace have gradually eroded（逐渐毁坏)away.I have developed a real appreciation, perhaps closer to a strong desire for the power of humor and laughter. This encouraged me to write my first book titled “The Power of Humor” and subsequently my second book titled “Kids Say the Goggonest Things” based on the natural humor, laughter, play and fun that kids experience and they freely share with parents, grandparents and teachers.From writing about humor and laughter, people start to ask me to speak up for them. To date, I have developed a number of humor-laughter topics that I use in my keynote presentations. You are invited to subscribe to my free monthly e-magazine “The Humormeister’s Forum” by clicking on the Free Humor E-zine navigation button on the website.59. According to the author, laughter is leaving us partly because ________.A. we fail to maintain balance between life and workB. the pace of change in our lives is becoming fasterC. we adults treat everything in a serious wayD. we have more pain, stress and anxiety now60. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A. people laugh more heartily when spending time with othersB. getting a deep laugh nowadays is difficultC. we can entertain ourselves with the help of the InternetD. researchers have made a new discovery about the effect of laughter61. The underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________”.A. destinationB. approachC. attitudeD. tendency62. Which of the follow ing articles can we most probably find in “The Humormeister’s Forum”?A. The power of honesty.B. Don’t be your own worst enemy.C. Live life purposefully: The relationship within.D. Funny Christmas stories to share with your loved ones.DAlthough Zhang Bichen, a 25-year-old songstress with a powerful yet delicate voice, took the crown of this year’s The V oice of China, runner-up Parhat Halik, 32, seems to have impressed more of the audience with his husky(沙哑的), natural and, most of all, distinguished sound.Despite his unmistakable voice, Parhat Halik’s music is also special. Generally, it’s rock — but influenced and mixed by different styles within the genre. Read on and find out where Halik’s music gets its inspiration.Blues rockRepresentative artists: Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, John MayeBlues rock combines improvisation (即兴创作) with rock ’n’ roll style. It began to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the US, when rock bands such as the Rolling Stones experimented with music from older African-American blues musicians. It borrows the idea of instrumental combo（小型乐队）from blues but is played at a faster tempo and louder volume, distinguishing it from the blues. The sound is created with the electric guitar, piano, bass and drums.As the root for several contemporary rock styles, such as heavy metal and hard rock, blues rock had a rebirth in the early 2000s, with artists including John Mayer and The Black Keys.Folk rockRepresentative artists: Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, The ByrdsAs the name indicates, folk rock is a genre combining elements of folk music and rock music. Also developed in the mid-1960s, folk rock was pioneered by the US band The Byrds, who began playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylan-penned material with rock instruments, in a style heavily influenced by The Beatles and other British bands.The genre was most popular among teenagers and college students at the time, because it includes both rock ’n’ roll’s free spirit and the more serious, culturally authentic and socially aware sounds of folk music.Soft rockRepresentative artists: Bryan Adams, Eagles, Elton John, James BluntCompared to hard rock’s loud and aggressive nature, soft rock, or light rock, uses the techniques of rock music to compose a softer and less threatening sound. Derived from folk rock, it uses acoustic instruments（原声乐器）and puts more emphasis on melody and harmony.Although the genre gets quite a bad name among hardcore rock fans, who see it as “wimpy”(软弱无力), it doesn’t mean soft rock is without merit (优点). Soft rock songs often deal with themes like romantic relationships and everyday life in a thoughtful and complex way hard rock simply couldn’t.63.Which of the artists playing traditional folk music and Bob Dylan-penned material with rockinstruments first?A. The Beatles.B. The ByrdsC. Eagles.D. Guns N’ Roses.64.We can learn from the passage that ______________.A. the Rolling Stones ignored African-American musicians’ workB. soft rock focus more on melody and culture awarenessC. blues rock gained a second birth in the 2000sD. all the three rock styles developed in America65.What is hardcore rock fans’ attitude towards soft rock?A. They quite admire it.B. They can hardly tolerate it.C. They are indifferent to it.D. They misunderstand it.66.What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To help readers become rock ’n’ roll artistsB. To inform the readers of the result of The V oice of ChinaC. To introduce some common rock music to the readersD. To offer the readers some suggestions of composing rock musicEAs motorways become more and more blocked up with traffic, a new generation on flying cars will be needed to ferry people along skyways. That is the conclusion of engineers from the US space agency and aeronautical firms, who envision future commuters traveling by “skycar”.These could look much like the concept skycar shown in the picture, designed by Boeing research and development. However, such vehicles could be some 25 years from appearing on the market. Efforts to build flying vehicles in the past have not been very successful. Such vehicles would not only be expensive and require the skills of a trained pilot to fly, but there are significant engineering challenges involved in developin g them. “When you try to combine them you get the worst of both worlds: a very heavy, slow, expensive vehicle that’s hard to use,” said Mark Moore, head of the personal air vehicle(PA V) division of the vehicle systems program at Nasa’s Langley Research Cen ter in Hampton, US. But Boeing is also considering how to police the airways and prevent total pandemonium(吵杂狂乱的喧闹)－if thousands of flying cars enter the skies.“The neat, gee-whiz part is thinking about what the vehicle itself would look like,” said Dick Paul, a vice president with Phantom Works, Boeing’s research and development arm. “But we’re trying to think through all the consequences of what it would take to deploy(散开) a fleet of these.”Past proposals to solve this problem have included artificial intelligence systems to prevent collisions between air traffic. Nasa is working on flying vehicles with the initial goal of transforming small plane travel. Small planes are generally costly, loud, and require months of training and lots of money to operate, making flying to work impractical for most people. But within five years, Nasa researchers hope to develop technology for a small plane that can fly out of regional airports, costs less than $100,000(£55,725), is as quiet as a motorcycle and as simple to operate as a car.Although it would not have any road-driving capabilities, it would bring this form of travel within the grasp of a wider section of people. The new technology would automate many of the pilot’s functions. This Small Aircraft Transportati on System(Sats) would divert pressure away from the “hub-and-spoke(中心辐射型)” model of air travel. Hub-and-spoke refers to the typically US model of passengers being processed through large “hub” airports and then on to secondary flights to “spoke” airports n ear their final destinations.67. The best title for this text would be_______.A. Developing SkycarsB. The Traffic Jams in the SkyC. How to Guide Flying Cars in the SkyD. What Flying Cars Will Look Like68. The underlined word “envision” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ““.A.imagineB. expectC. thinkD. announce69.When engineers develop the skycars, they have to deal with the following difficulties except____ .A. how to fly out of regional airportsB. how to prevent the disorder of the airwaysC. how to reduce expenses and the vehicle’s weightD. how to fly the skycars to enter skies70. Now Nasa researchers’ aim is to.A. make big flying carsB. work out the plan---how to transform small plane travelC. develop a new kind of small plane different from the traditional oneD. build a new kind of small plane with road-driving abilities第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50分）第一节: 完成句子（共10小题; 每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子。

武汉二中15-16 学年度上学期期中高二英语试卷

武汉二中15-16 学年度上学期期中高二英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AI always experienced guilt when I passed by without giving a coin or two to a beggar.My conscience was pricked again on a tour of Venice in 2010. I had taken refuge from the crowds in a quiet canal-side café. Outside the café was an old woman kneeling on the ancient cobbled stones, begging. Steady streams of tourists were walking past her. A lone young back-packer stood away from the crowds drinking something, but I noticed he was also observing the woman.A tourist group glanced at the woman and walked on. Another group of tourists arrived and, again, walked past her. The backpacker watched. Then, as I prepared to leave, I stopped at the sight of the backpacker stepping forward and placing some money in the woman’s cup. He did this rather ostentatiously（炫耀地）, just before the arrival of another tourist group. I watched as the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and added more co ins to the woman’s cup.The young backpacker repeated this process in front of the next tour party going past. Once again, the subtle peer （同伴）pressure worked on the tourists, who all added coins to the cup. His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar woman, patted her shoulder and said, “I hope that helps a bit.”I don’t know if the woman understood his English or realized what had just happened, but I did. I placed some money in the woman’s cup and continued my travels, light-hearted after witnessing such an act of caring.21. The backpacker placed some money in the woman’s cup rather ostentatiously because______.A. he wanted to stop the tourists by doing thisB. he wanted people to know that he was rich and kindC. he wanted to help the woman by himselfD. he wanted the tourist group to follow him22. The author went to a quiet canal-side cafe to_______ .A. avoid meeting the beggarB. get away from the crowdsC. take a restD. watch the woman beggar23. We can infer from the passage that ________ .A. tourists can be cheated by beggarsB. people usually have pity on an old beggarC. tourists are willing to help beggarsD. people can do kind acts due to peer pressure24. Before the backpacker dropped some money in the woman’s cup, the tourists ______ .A. all showed pity for the womanB. didn’t notice the womanC. walked by without giving any moneyD. gave a little money to the womanBTechnology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later，milking is complete. The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot costs175,000 dollars. The second costs 150,000 dollars.Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.25. According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee per year?A．$150,000～$175,000. B．$150,000～$30,000. C．$30,000～$35,000. D．over $75,000.26. Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can ________.A．judge the quality of fresh milk B．keep fresh milk for two weeksC．adjust the temperature of milking stations D．improve the appetite of cows27. Why is the robotic system not popular now?A．Because it usually causes the waste of milk. B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it. C．Because young people have no interest in it. D．Because people can't afford to buy it.28. From the first paragraph，we can infer ________.A．cows can be raised by robots in the future B．robots direct cows into milking stationsC．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farmsCWhat do working mothers worry about the most? It's the kids of course. Whatever the setting, the question I get asked the most is "Will the kids be alright?" It has made me realize that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. We forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we work - and I'm not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldn't be taken for granted.About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. "Mrs. Brown Quinn, your son asked us to call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?" I was exasperated(恼火)! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, "Sorry, I'm working at the moment. I'm afraid my son needs to learn to be organized."Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent. It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Seeking interests, including business, outside of your kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. This benefit of working isn't always immediately evident.It wasn't until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we had raised her in the way that we did. "Mom, I can't believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own. They are constantly calling their parents for help." You'll love that moment! After all those years of complaining about why you don't do this or why you don't give them that, your kids realize that tough love has made them better people.29. The purpose of the author is to ______.A. describe her own experience in raising childrenB. advise us to mix work and familyC. throw light on a special benefit of workingD. argue for working mothers30. How can kids become better people according to the author?A. By showing them your deep love.B. By giving them all your attention.C. By giving them tough love.D. By giving them freedom to do things on their own.31. The daughter's attitude towards the author is ______ when she grows up.A. understandingB. caringC. disappointedD. surprised32. The author refused to drop off her son's sports clothes because ______.A. she wanted her son to be organizedB. she was caught in heavy trafficC. she thought her son was lyingD. she was busy workingDA treasure trove hidden for centuries has been discovered in the underground vaults(墓穴)of a temple in southern India. The treasures include gold, diamonds and precious stones. The estimated value of the hoard is reportedly 22 billion US dollars.Hundreds of armed police have been deployed around the temple. Meanwhile, a debate about how to use the moneyhas also broken out across the country. After discovering the treasure trove in Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the local government has assured security of the temple.Elaborating on the security arrangements, Venugopalan Nair, Additional Director General of the Kerala Police, says the latest security devices are being used to guard the temple.Venugopalan Nair, Additional Dir. Gen. of Kerala Police, said, "We are trying to bring in the latest technology with regards to surveillance(监视) cameras, with regards to, you know digitalizing the various things which are available inside. We are keeping a constant sort of surveillance for every movement, which happens in the whole area surrounding the temple."According to temple authorities, the crowd at the temple has increased steeply after news of the discovery of the treasure trove. And the Administrative Officer of the Temple says the government has initiated appropriate steps to control the curious crowds visiting the temple.G. Jayasekharan Nair, administrative officer, said, "To control the crowds the government itself is taking a lot of measures. They are trying to do whatever is possible from the premises of the temple.

湖北武汉二中2017-2018学年高二上期中考试英语试卷

湖北武汉二中2017-2018学年高二上期中考试英语试卷一、阅读理解1、阅读理解“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they're given after all. Choices can be hard.”—Jeff BezosI got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't, and I wasn't sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I'd been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.(1)What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?1/ 25A、His dream of being an inventor.B、The support of his wife.C、Millions of exciting titles.D、The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.(2)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A、He would be very excited if he tried it out.B、The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.C、He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.D、The decision not to try the online bookstore would terrify him.(3)We can know from the passage that ________.A、the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB、the author might not regret if he failed the ideaC、the author wanted someone else to try the ideaD、the author might go back to his boss if he failed(4)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A、Cleverness and KindnessB、The Starting of AmazonC、We Are What We ChooseD、Following My Passion2、阅读理解The universe looks like a pretty quiet place to live. But the universe is filled with dangerous things, all struggling to be the one to wipe us off the planet. Happily for us, they're all pretty unlikely, but if you wait long enough, one of them is certain to get us. But which one?2/ 251). Death by Asteroid (小行星)Of all the ways we might meet our untimely death, getting wiped out by an asteroid is the most likely. Why? Because we sit in a universal shooting gallery, with 100 tons of material hitting us every day. The problem, though, occurs every few centuries when something big this way comes. If you could ask a dinosaur, I'd imagine they would tell you to take this seriously.2). Death by Exploding StarWhen a huge star ends its life, it does so with a bang, which sends death spreading across space in the form of high-energy radiation. Many studies show that the bang would have to be closer than about 75 light years to do us any harm. The good news: no stars so close are able to do the deed.3). Death by Dying SunThe sun is important to us; without it, we'd freeze. But the sun is alsomiddle-aged, already halfway to running out of fuel, expanding into a red giant, and cooking us to a fine crisp. Even long before then, it'll warm up enough to raise our average temperature and cause a runaway greenhouse effect, boiling our oceans. Happily, that's a long time from now.4). Death by Black HoleBlack holes are misunderstood. They don't wander the galaxy looking for tasty snacks in the form of planets and stars; they turn around the Milky Way just like the hundreds of billions of other stars do. But it's possible that one could wander too close to us. If it did, planetary paths would be disturbed, causing the Earth to drop into the sun or be thrown out into deep space.Given that it could be trillions of years or more before even that happens, we don't have to worry too much about black holes.My advice? Go outside, look up, enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars. They may be there forever as far as any one of us is concerned...and forever is a long, long time.(1)The underlined word “this” probably refers to ________.3/ 25A、getting wiped out by a dinosaurB、an untimely deathC、a cosmic shooting galleryD、100 tons of material(2)Which of the following will cause the earth's average temperature to go up dramatically?A、The dying sun.B、The black hole.C、The asteroid.D、The exploding star.(3)Which of the following statement is possible about black holes?A、They wander the galaxy.B、One of them wanders very close to the earth.C、They turn around the galaxy.D、They look for planets and stars.(4)While the author is introducing the ways the universe could wipe out humankind, he is ________ us.A、warningB、comfortingC、entertainingD、ignoring3、阅读理解Generally speaking, college graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paid job. But for 6,000 graduates at San4/ 25Jose State this year, there's uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades.Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. “You look at everybody's parents and neighbors, and they're getting laid off and don't have jobs,” said Stewart. “Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce.., it's just scary.”When those graduates entered college, the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they've been here, the world outside has changed dramatically. “Those were the exciting times, lots of dot-com opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,” said Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Centre. “Times have changed. It's a new market. The job situation is grim (严峻的) now.” Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Centre, (it is) sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework. “The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They've postured themselves well during the summer. They've had several internships (实习) ,” she said. And they've majored in one of the few fields that are still hot—like chemical engineering, accounting or nursing—where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school. “I'd like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,” he said.It is true more students are able to receive college education. It is also true that they will have to face fiercer competition in the job market as they graduate. It becomes harder and harder for the current graduates to get a foothold in job markets, but many of them have no choice but to follow the beaten track. To some students a degree may not be ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.5/ 25(1)What can we learn about Ryan Stewart?A、He is a teacher.B、He majored in religious studies.C、He found a job as soon as he graduated.D、He is going back to school.(2)Which of the following did NOT happen in the past four years?A、Dot-corn opportunities decreased.B、Salaries in chemical engineering increased.C、The number of teaching jobs increased.D、The number of jobs with benefits decreased.(3)What does Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge mean when she says students “have done their homework”?A、The have found full-time jobs as their future career before graduation.B、The have gone to summer school for further studies.C、They are good students who have finished their homework on time.D、They have spent time preparing themselves to find a job.(4)What's the meaning of the phrase “get a foot hold” in the last paragraph?A、Gain a safe position from which further advances can be made.B、Find a place where you can stand.C、Walk with steady footsteps.D、Make great progress in a particular area or in a certain job.4、阅读理解6/ 25The TV science-fiction series Star Trek no longer looked far-fetched (牵强的) as four men and four women in black space-suits locked themselves into a giant hi-tech greenhouse, known as a ‘biosphere', in the Arizona desert yesterday for a two-year study of the environment.As dawn broke over the Santa Catalina mountains, the eight waved goodbye to television cameras. Edward Ross, their multibillionaire sponsor from a Texas oil family, closed the door of the $150 million structure, with its mini-ocean, marsh, desert, savanna, rain-forest and 3,800 plant and animal species designed to allow the team to recreate Earth and its ecosystems.The so-called Biosphere 2 is the latest of a dozen environmental projects started by the self-titled ‘ecopreneur'. The project's main aim is to set up a self-sustaining community for possible use in a spaceship or on another planet. The crew members must plant, harvest and process their food on a half-acre farm in the seven-storey glass and metal structure, while conducting a series of experiments.‘We will be custodians (监护人) of our new little world,' said Abigail Mayer, aged 31, a US marine biologist on the team, her voice choking with emotion. ‘It is a brave new step.' Many scientists, however, are more than skeptical. They point out that the largest closed ecosystem which survived more than a few days was smaller than a football. It was developed at the University of Miami and contained only shrimp, algae and other micro-organisms.Critics have also accused Mr. Ross of being more interested in producing a profitable theme park than in carrying out serious scientific research. Hundreds of tourists visited the site daily in the summer before it was occupied by the team. They paid $9.95 to enter and all stopped at the souvenir shop.(1)What's the location of the project?A、Texas.B、University of Miami.C、Arizona desert.7/ 25D、The space.(2)What can we infer from the passage?A、There is a scene in Star Trek where four men and four women locked themselves into giant greenhouse.B、All the species of plants and animals on the Earth were brought into the greenhouse.C、Mr. Ross made tourists stop at the souvenir shop to gain profits.D、Many scientists are doubtful whether this system can last long enough.(3)What's the author's attitude towards the project?A、Critical.B、Neutral.C、Skeptical.D、Supportive.二、完形填空5、阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The trial will explore whether flavonoids (类黄酮) found in chocolate and other foods can reduce the risk of heart disease.“We are looking at a high risk group first,” said Aedin Cassidy, a biochemist who will lead the study.Previous studies have suggested dark chocolate is rich in the beneficial flavonoids linked with heart health, but experts note the high sugar and fat content of most commercially available chocolate might cancel out some of the advantages. Other research has also shown dark chocolate appears to lower blood pressure, improve the function of blood vessels (血管)and reduce the risk of heart attack.This has encouraged companies to market specific products containing dark chocolate. Mars Inc has introduced Cocoa Via, a line of dark and premium chocolates that plays up such health advantages.Cassidy said her team will also publish findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showing that flavonoids found in soy and cocoa appear to have the strongest effects of reducing risk of heart disease.The next step will organize 150 women volunteers with a specific illness. The researchers will look at whether flavonoids help reduce blood pressure, cut cholesterollevels and improve the condition of blood vessels.Half the women in the year-long study will eat chocolate containing 30 grams of flavonoids found in soy, cocoa and other fruits and vegetables. The others will get chocolate without the active flavonoids.“This could help doctors give advice to patients on the type and amount of foods to eat to reduce heart disease risk—and it does not necessarily need to be chocolate,” Cassidy said. “If this trial works we will be able to advise on a whole range of foods. People won't have to go around eating specially designed chocolate.”61. What is the best title for the passage?A. V olunteers wanted for chocolate study.B. Chocolate is good for health.C. A new research on heart attacks.D. Flavonoids found in chocolate.62. What’s the p urpose of the trial?A. To test the advantages of a new kind of chocolate.B. To find cures for heart disease.C. To discover how to control blood pressure.D. To explore the advantages of flavonoids.63. From Paragraph 3 we can infer that __________.A. C assidy’s team has done several studies on chocolateB. dark chocolate has proved beneficial to healthC. people should eat much chocolate with high sugar and fatD. most commercially available chocolate doesn’t contain flavonoids64. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. All the volunteers will eat the same chocolate.B. CocoaVia is a company that produces dark chocolate.C. People who want to take part in the trial should be healthy.D. Soy, cocoa, some fruit and vegetables contain flavonoids.BA robotic suit that reads brain signals and helps people with mobility problems will be available to rent in Japan for $2,200 a month starting Friday — an invention that may have far-reaching benefits for the disabled and elderly.HAL —short for "hybrid assistive limb" —is a computerized suit with sensors that read brain signals directing limb movement through the skin.The 22-pound battery-operated computer system is belted to the waist. It captures the brain signals and relays them to mechanical leg braces strapped to the thighs and knees, which then provide robotic assistance to people as they walk.Cyberdyne, a new company in Tsukuba outside Tokyo, will mass-produce HAL. Two people demonstrated the suits at the company's headquarters on Tuesday. A video also showed a partially paralyzed person getting up from a chair and walking slowly wearing the HAL suit."We are ready to present this to the world," said Y oshiyuki Sankai, a University of Tsukuba professor who designed HAL and has worked on robot suits since 1992 and is also Cyberdyne's CEO. He said a full device that covers the entire body is also being designed, though it is unclear when it will be available in the market.HAL comes in three sizes — small, medium and large — and also has a one-leg version for a 150,000 yen, or $1,500, monthly rental fee. It is unclear when HAL will go on sale to the public or what the price tag will be.Sankai said the HAL technology is devoted to social welfare purposes only, adding he has refused from army.Some European nations have already expressed great interest in HAL. The University of California, Berkeley, and other researchers around the world are working on similar robotic suits that increase moving ability.65. Who would be the consumers of the robotic suit?A. Scientists working in labs.B. Patients with brain problems.C. People always following fashion.D. Those having trouble moving around66. The robotic suit works by .A. sending signals to the brainB. getting orders from a computerC. receiving messages from the brainD. following the person’s hand operation67. We can learn from the passage that Sankai .A. showed the suit in videoB. set up Cyberdyne in TsukubaC. planned to advertise HAL outside JapanD. has worked on the suit for over 20 years68. Which of the following is TURE about HAL?A. The charge for the large size is the highest.B. It is free of charge for the first month.C. It will be on sale very good.D. The one-leg version is $700less in monthly rental fee.CThe deep ocean is considered to be anything below the photic zone (透光层), which only extends a few hundred meters down into the ocean’s waters, and this huge area is home to all of the deep ocean fish. These fish have special capabilities that allow them to live at high pressures and to survive cold ocean water. Most of these deep ocean fish cannot live in any other environment so not much is known about their behavior. There is no natural light in the deepest part of the ocean so fish there have different ways of knowing what is going on around them. Some deep ocean fish have very large eyes which have adapted to the darkness. Other fish have feelers (触须) which help them to find food. The angler fish is so named because it has a fishing-pole-type object which can move like a worm to attract prey (猎物).Because there is no photosynthesis (光合作用) under the ocean, any plant matter that fish may need for nutrients has to sink down from above. On the whole, this makes deep ocean fish smaller in overall size and weight but with large mouths than those who live higher up in shallow water.Many deep ocean fish have to float around waiting for something to eat to pass by. There are thousands of species of deep ocean fish and most of these are darkly colored to mix into the surroundings so as not to attract enemies.The further down into the ocean you go, the more you will find different kinds of fish. For example, the bottom dwelling sharks spend most of their time resting on the ocean bottom. They must keep moving at all times so that air can be forced through their lungs. They wait for their prey to come along and suddenly attack them whenever possible. If these sharks stopped swimming they would die.69. The passage is mainly about .A. the behavior of fishB. the deep oceanC. deep ocean fishD. ocean creatures70. Compares to the fish that live in shallow water, most deep ocean fish are .A. small but heavyB. small and lightC. long and heavyD. small but long71. We can learn from the passage that most of the deep ocean fish have .A. long feelersB. plants as foodC. large eyesD. darkly colored bodies72. Y ou would most probably read this article in a journal of .A. fashionB. scienceC. entertainmentD. healthDThe first time you meet someone, in the first moment you form an impression in your mind of that person. Y our reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers for how you perceive yourself. Y our reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. Y ou cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To coexist peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Y our task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.I recently has a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as offensive and his table manners as disgusting. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him.73. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways of judging others at first sight.B. Learning to be tolerant towards others.C. Trying to improve yourself.D. Ways of getting along with others.74. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.B. We usually don’t like people who have habits that we don’t like.C. The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.D. Our response to others shows nothing about ourselves.75. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. as long as we learn tolerance, we can get along peacefully with others.B. we should not judge others but carefully reflect on our own behaviorC. the author doesn’t like to have business lunch with othersD. the author doesn’t care about what other people think of him76. In the last paragraph, the author mentioned his lunch partner to show that .A. people’s bad judgment of someone doesn’t stop them behaving like that personB. he didn’t learn any bad behavior or habit from his lunch partnerC. people shouldn’t care about how others judge themD. he has learnt to get along well with his lunch partnerEDo you know about a series of books that say they are "for dummies"?
