AIt has long been thought that elephants rely on their large ears and bathing in rivers to stay cool in hot climates. New research，however，has showed that the world's largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body temperatures.Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调节)in elephants. Generally，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants，with their heavy-weight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed thatelephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees—one degree less than humans'.21. What can we know about the elephants?A. They have thick fur to protect them.B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.D. They are afraid of water and rivers.22. The function of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________.A. control their body temperatureB. help hold more heatC. drive away insectsD. keep sensitive hearing23. The new research________.A. studied six Asian elephantsB. studied elephants in a zoo and in the wildC. aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantagesD. proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally trueBMySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents’ wor ries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenagers，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of myacquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace，”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16yearold student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace，”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace - related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ________.A. brings about the generation gapB. is very careful about people’s privacyC. encourages you to list your personal informationD. lists the telephone numbers of your friends25．Why are some parents against MySpace?A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D. Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.26．What can we infer from “Every time w e hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”？A. MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Internet SafetyB. MySpaceC. Generation GapD. TheDigital EraCKids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.28. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs?A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists.B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose.C. Older kids often link science with boring things.D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy.29.By building the small golf course，the writer's boys learnt about all of the followingthings EXCEPT________.A. speedB. momentumC. biologyD. agriculture30.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course，they might have _______.A. asked her some related scientific conceptsB. made a better golf course than the one they had builtC. asked their friends to help them with the workD. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions31. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?A．Architecture. B. Education. C．Health. D. Sports.DNot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while Group C，the control group，did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure，C-reactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doct ors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still，more study is needed，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than pr evention and treatment,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study，________.A. C-reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group CB. the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsC. the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedD. C-reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L34. The underlined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be ______.A. something bad to our healthB. something good to our healthC. a kind of wonderful medicineD. a kind of dangerous disease35. In what way does laughter benefit people’s health?A. Blood is made thick by laughter.B. Laughter makes blood vessels thin.C. Laughter increases blood pressure.D. Laughter makes blood flow fast.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He is only 30 years old. But on Thursday, Serena Williams earned a spot in the Australian Open finals. She will face her older sister, Venus, who won her semifinal (半决赛) match a day earlier. It is the first time that the Williams sisters will play in a Grand Slam final since 2009. Venus is 36. Serena is 35.

He was 37 when he won the Australian Open in 1972.Serena Williams is already the oldest winner of a women’s Grand Slam match. She won Wimbledon last year at the age of 34.Many people are impressed that three of the finalists are 35 or older. All of the players have recently had injuries (受伤). Federer missed six months due to back and knee injuries.He told the crowd that he did not think he would be able to make it back to a Grand Slam final.The Williams sisters have had difficulties, too. Earlier this month, Venus wona match in New Zealand but withdrew (退出) from the final after hurting her arm. She also learned in 2011 she had the immune system disorder.

Her knee and shoulder injuries made her lose to her sister.DHave you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. Howevertheir way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.12. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wrong.D. Difficult13. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?A. It was safer to keep on the leftB. It was easier to carry goods.C. It was easier for them to fightD. It was necessary to control the horse.14. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?A. Their sitting position.B. The road conditions.C. The number of horses.D. The products in the wagons.15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. UK Drivers Still Go On The LeftB. Why People Like Sitting On The Left SideC. The History Of Transportation MeansD. The Reasons For Different Driving Sides第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年上学期六校期初考试高二英语试题考试时间：100分钟总分150分第I卷第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。

AIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops fa iling and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.21. From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.A. were poor but somewhat content (满足的)B. worked very hard for centuriesC. dreamed of having a better lifeD. lived a different life from their forefathers22. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs ?A. The frogs made too much noise.B. They needed money to buy medicine.C. They wanted to please the visitors.D. The frogs were easy money.23. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?A. The crops didn't do well.B. There were too many insects.C .The visitors brought in diseases. D. The pesticides were overused.24. What can we infer推断 from the last sentence of the text ?A. The harmony(和谐) between man and nature is important.B. Health is more important than money.C. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.BHer attractive lips seemed to speak words of kindness, while her eyes appeared to seek（寻找）out the good in people. “You have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” She used to say.It was for thi s rare charm and inner beauty that British movie star Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was named the most naturally beautiful woman of all time in June, 2004. “Her skin looks fresh in all her films and her warm and lively personality really shines through,” said one beauty expert.Life w as never easy for Hepburn. Shortly after her parents’ painful divorce when she was nine, she found herself in the Netherlands at the start of World War II. Hepburn watched helplessly as several of her relatives were killed. She survived by eating tulip bulbs and carried secret messages for the resistance in her ballet shoes. She dreamed of becoming a ballet dancer but was told she was too tall and not talentedenough to be a success.Hepburn then turned to musicals and spent most of her time as a chorus girl (舞女). She had some small movie roles but it was not until Roman Holiday (1953) that she became a star. With her good manners and delicate figure, she was perfect in the role of a European princess. She took the Best Actress Oscar for her performance.In 1988 Hepburn began her most important role—as a Goodwill Ambassador(大使) for UNICEF(United Nations Children’s Fund). She traveled to the poorest places, doing her best to provide care and create awareness of the difficult situations in which some children live.When Hepburn passed away, a message displayed at her funeral read, “In losing Audrey, the world not only lost a movie star, we lost a princess, an angel, a person who inspired us all and whose selfless and loving examples shall always be remembered.”25. When Hepburn began to act as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, how many yearshad passed since her parents’ divorce? _________A. 50B. 52C. 38D.4626. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?_________A. To tell readers about Audrey Hepbur n’s death.B. To think highly of Audrey Hepburn’s whole life.C. To tell readers the message displayed at Audrey Hepburn’s funeral.D. To say goodbye to Audrey Hepburn.27. Which of the following best describes Audrey Hepburn’s life? _______A. Difficult and lucky.B. Miserable and smooth.C. Hard and successful.D. Easy and smooth.28. What would be the best title for the passage?_______A. Beauty Is Not Just Skin Deep.B. Beauty Is Just Skin Deep.C. Beauty Never Stays Forever.D. A World-famous Beauty expertCI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签)everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answ ered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates fo r the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.29. What made Kate so angry one evening?A. She couldn’t find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her g randma was ill.D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.30. The author tidied up the room most probably because______________.A. She was scared by Kate’s anger.B. She hated herself for being so messyC. She wanted to show her careD. She was asked by Kate to do so31. How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?A. By analyzing分析 causes.B. By showing differences.C. By describing a process过程.D. By following time order.32. What might be the best title for the story?A. My Friend KateB. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be OrganizedD. Learning to Be RoommatesDThere have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:I’ll never lose weight---I come from a fat familyWrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume 消耗more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately. Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied多样的program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a difference route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is adapting to the positive changes in your l ifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.33. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the result of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.34. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varied exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to（坚持）outdoor exercise.35. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To state the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify(澄清) some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise.C. To test what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

New research ，however ，has showed that the world's largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body temperatures.Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调节)in elephants. Generally ，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because ，pared to their size ，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants ，with their heavy weight frames ，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats ，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures ，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully grown ，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinner ，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface ，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature. Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks ，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees —one degree less than humans'. 21. What can we know about the elephants? A. They have thick fur to protect them. B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia. C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully grown. D. They are afraid of water and rivers. 22. The function of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________. A. control their body temperature B. help hold more heat C. drive away insects D. keep sensitive hearing 23. The new research________. A. studied six Asian elephants B. studied elephants in a zoo and in the wild C. aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantages D. proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally true B MySpace ，the social networking website ，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago ，it is a big source of information for and about American kids. Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site ，not sharing their parents’ worries. It sig nals yet another generation gap in the digital era. For teenagers ，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames ，birthdays ，after school jobs ，school clubs ，hobbies and other personal information. “MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them ，I could just leave them a message on MySpace ，”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16year old student at Woodlandh Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.hh hParents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace ，”said Kent Gates ，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace related plaints ，according to Mary Beth Buchanan ，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children ，” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ________.A. brings about the generation gapB. is very careful about people’s privacyC. encourages you to list your personal informationD. lists the telephone numbers of your friends25．Why are some parents against MySpace?A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D. Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.26．What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parent s meeting ，the first question is always about MySpace”？A. MySpace has bee a top problem troubling parents.B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Internet SafetyB. MySpaceC. Generation GapD. The Digital EraCKids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm ，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play ，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books ，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words. What a tragedy ！We had their attention ，they were listening ，they were participating ，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom. We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching ，they are pletely into the learning. My boys built a small 9hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up. If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9hole golf course ，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something ，I try to relate it back to something they have built ，experienced ，or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know. An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play. 28. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs? A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists. B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose. C. Older kids often link science with boring things. D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy. 29.By building the small golf course ，the writer's boys learnt about all of the following things EXCEPT________. A. speed B. momentum C. biology D. agriculture 30.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course ，they might have _______. A. asked her some related scientific concepts B. made a better golf course than the one they had built C. asked their friends to help them with the workh hD. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions31. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?A ．Architecture. B. Education. C ．Health. D. Sports.DNot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice ，while Group C ，the control group ，did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study ，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress ，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months ，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C ．In another measure ，C reactive proteins ，a maker of heart disease ，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that ther e is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion ，happy laughter ，”said study leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still ，more study is needed ，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry ，which was proved in the new study. The research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand ，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to ，rather than prevention and treatmen t,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study ，________.A. C reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group CB. the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsC. the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedD. C reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L 34. The underlined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be ______. A. something bad to our health B. something good to our health C. a kind of wonderful medicine D. a kind of dangerous disease 35. In what way does laughter benefit people’s health? A. Blood is made thick by laughter. B. Laughter makes blood vessels thin. C. Laughter increases blood pressure. D. Laughter makes blood flow fast. 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

The new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It loos and feels eactly lie a smartphone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.NoPhone is currently a prototype(手机模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the maret.Its maers are trying to raise $30,000 in order to cover the production and mareting costs.Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen, who helped create the NoPhone, said that he had the idea asa joe along with his friends Van Gould and Ben Langveld. To their great surprise, the ideareceived a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhone of their own, so that’s wh en the three friends decided to raise money for mass production.David H said, “ I used to sleep with my phone in my hand, but my night errors would cause me to throw it across the room in an unconscious panic.

Researchers too 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20．Then they gave the groups three different types of "listen-and-repeat" learning conditions．Researchers had one group simply spea the words．They had the second group spea the words to a rhythm，or beat．And they ased the third group to sing the words．All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes．Then they too part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered．Why Hungarian，you as ? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people now the language．It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages，such as Italian or Spanish．After the tests were over，the singers came out on top．The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance．They did the best in four out of five of the tests．They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaing them．Dr．atie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language．The brain lies to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3，or memorable 4，tune 5．Dr．Lude said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages．On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr．Lude writes，"This study provides the first eperimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning，and opens the door for future research in this area．"28.

A child is going to have his first music lesson．C. A student is going to learn a new English song．D. An American is going to learn some Chinese．DFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn't hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain eisted but fear didn't, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to eep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier--and some do eist--is not a good soldier because he is soon illed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for eample, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being noced down and illed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to tae.In many cases, you can tae quic and successful action to avoid the danger. For eample, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For eample, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have eamined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.32. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if ______.A. they were not well educated at schoolB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they were fearful of painD. they had no sense of pain33. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because ______.A. they have gained eperienceB. they jump out of the way in timeC. they are warned of the danger and tae quic actionD. they are calm in face of danger34. What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. Fear is always something helpfulB. Too much fear is harmfulC. Fear is something that can be avoidedD. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life35. The best title for this passage should be _______.A. The Value of FearB. Pain and ActionsC. No Pains, No GainsD.

AIt has long been thought that elephants rely on their large ears and bathing in rivers to stay cool in hot climates. New research，however，has showed that the world's largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body temperatures.Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调节)in elephants. Generally，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from. Elephants，with their heavy-weight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool. The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily. But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change. They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears. The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface. Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing. Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees—one degree less than humans'.21. What can we know about the elephants?A. They have thick fur to protect them.B. They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.C. They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.D. They are afraid of water and rivers.22. The function of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________.A. control their body temperatureB. help hold more heatC. drive away insectsD. keep sensitive hearing23. The new research________.A. studied six Asian elephantsB. studied elephants in a zoo and in the wildC. aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantagesD. proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally trueBMySpace，the social networking website，is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago，it is a big source of information for and about American kids.Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site，not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.For teenagers，it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames，birthdays，after-school jobs，school clubs，hobbies and other personal information.“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace，”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace. “Every time we hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace，”said Kent Gates，who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会)．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Childrenhas received at least 288 MySpace - related complaints，according to Mary Beth Buchanan，a lawyer in Pittsburgh.“Your profile on MySpace shows all your per sonal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.24. From the passage, we can learn that MySpace ________.A. brings about the generation gapB. is very careful about people’s privacyC. encourages you to list your personal informationD. lists the telephone numbers of your friends25．Why are some parents against MySpace?A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.D. Because troublemakers can easily reach their children through the site.26．What can we infer from “Every time w e hold a parents meeting，the first question is always about MySpace”？A. MySpace has become a top problem troubling parents.B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.27．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Internet SafetyB. MySpaceC. Generation GapD. The Digital EraCKids are natural scientists. That may be why they ask so many questions.Younger kids take up science and math with amazing enthusiasm，yet as they get older they often lose their excitement. Children look on scientific exploration as play，but as they get older they start to connect it with big heavy books，long worksheets and a lot of really confusing words.What a tragedy！We had their attention，they were listening，they were participating，they were learning and then we lost it to boredom.We need our kids to play more. More play brings up basic scientific concepts(概念)．Being familiar with basic scientific concepts brings about exploration which leads to research. Once they are researching，they are completely into the learning.My boys built a small 9-hole golf course next to our driveway one day. It was a great product of science. They dug out the holes and channels to guide the golf ball. They played with architecture(建筑学)with a series of pipes they had found in the garage. They tested speed and momentum(动量)by creating one of the holes across the driveway. They experienced biology when deciding which front yard plants could be used as a part of the course and which needed to be pulled up.If I had sent them out to the yard to build a 9-hole golf course，it would have never happened. It was because it was their idea that it worked. I try to tell them some of the concepts after the fact. When they ask about something，I try to relate it back to something they have built，experienced，or felt. I try to give them a vocabulary around what they already know.An afternoon can change the way kids look at the world. Not bad for a day of play.28. What can we learn about kids' attitudes towards science from the first three paragraphs?A. Kids think they are born to work as scientists.B. Younger kids begin to learn science on purpose.C. Older kids often link science with boring things.D. Children's taking an interest in science is a tragedy.29.By building the small golf course，the writer's boys learnt about all of the following thingsEXCEPT________.A. speedB. momentumC. biologyD. agriculture30.If the writer had forced the boys to build a small golf course，they might have _______.A. asked her some related scientific conceptsB. made a better golf course than the one they had builtC. asked their friends to help them with the workD. got bored and refused to follow the writer's directions31. In which part of a newspaper is the article probably included?A．Architecture. B. Education. C．Health. D. Sports.DNot all think laughter is the best medicine, but it seems to help. So scientists carried on a new study of diabetes (糖尿病) patients who were given a good dose of humor for a year to prove it.Researchers divided 20 high-risk diabetic patients into two groups. Both groups were given standard diabetes medicine. Group L viewed 30 minutes of humor of their choice，while Group C，the control group，did not. This went on for a year of treatments.By two months into the study，the patients in the laughter group had lower level of the hormones epinephrine (肾上腺素)，considered to cause stress，which is known to be deadly. After the 12 months，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure，C-reactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said s tudy leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still，more study is needed，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The researchresult will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment,”Berk said in a statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study，________.A. C-reactive proteins increase 66 percent in Group CB. the level of the hormones epinephrine stays the same in both groupsC. the level of the hormones epinephrine has droppedD. C-reactive proteins reduced 66 percent in Group L34. The underl ined part “HDL cholesterol” in Paragraph 3 must be ______.A. something bad to our healthB. something good to our healthC. a kind of wonderful medicineD. a kind of dangerous disease35. In what way does laughter benefit people’s health?A. Blood is made thick by laughter.B. Laughter makes blood vessels thin.C. Laughter increases blood pressure.D. Laughter makes blood flow fast.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

After the 12 months，HDL cholesterol rises 26 percent in Group L but only 3 percent in Group C．In another measure，Creactive proteins，a maker of heart disease，drop 66 percent in the laughter group but only 26 percent in the control group.“The best doctors believe that there is a physical good brought about by the positive emotion，happy laughter，”said s tudy leader Lee Berk of Loma Linda University. And other research has found that humor makes us more hopeful. Still，more study is needed，Berk said. The research by Berk found that humor can bring about similar changes in body chemistry，which was proved in the new study. The research result will be presented this month at the meeting in the US. Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine shows that laughter causes the inner lining of blood vessels to expand，increasing blood flow in a way thought to be healthy.“Lifestyle choices have an important effect on health and these are choices which we and patients should pay attention to，rather than prevention and treatment,”Berk said ina statement this week.32. Why did the scientists carry on the new research?A .To find out if laughter was good to health.B. To discover the best medicine to cure diabetes.C. Because the number of diabetic patients is the largest in the world.D. Because diabetic patients need more laughter than other patients.33．After 12 months into the study，________.A.

It is the first time that the Williams sisters will play in a Grand Slam final since 2009. Venus is 36. Serena is 35.

Her knee and shoulder injuries made her lose to her sister.DHave you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? It might seem bizarre that U. K. drivers stay on the left, but they’re not the only ones. Around 35 percent of the world population do the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.Originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their way of transport was quite different from today: Think about four legs instead of four wheels. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. Getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So why did people stop traveling on the left? Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons (货车) pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. The wagon driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left position, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773introduced the General Highways Act, which encouraged driving on the left. This was later made law thanks to The Highway Act of 1835.When Henry Ford showed his Model T in 1908, the driver’s seat was on the left, mea ning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.12. What does the underlined wor d “bizarre” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Funny.B. Strange.C. Wrong.D. Difficult13. Why did people riding the horse travel on the left in history?A. It was safer to keep on the leftB. It was easier to carry goods.C. It was easier for them to fightD. It was necessary to control the horse.14. What made drivers of large wagons travel on the right?A. Their sitting position.B. The road conditions.C. The number of horses.D. The products in the wagons.15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?A. UK Drivers Still Go On The LeftB. Why People Like Sitting On The Left SideC. The History Of Transportation MeansD. The Reasons For Different Driving Sides第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
