湖南省长沙市长郡中学2017届高三英语上学期第二次周测试题
湖南省长沙市长郡中学2017届高三英语上学期第二次周测试题第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）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。
AFor the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.Brussels: Chocolate.Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium---with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year---certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country’s capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.Budapest: Paprika(红辣椒)The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.Lisbon: Tiles(瓷砖)Is there a bluer country than Portug al? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically--- blue designs of azulejos----ceramic tiles---are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portugue se kings, historical glories, aristocrats(贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on.Madrid: GuitarsWalking into one the Madrid’s storied guitar makers’workshops can feel like steppinginto the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠)turn some humble wood into works of art. It’s painstaking work---all done by hand---with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.21. What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?A. The popularity of Hungarian peppersB. The difficult of processing peppersC. The unique tradition in BudapestD. The hot level of Hungarian peppers22. Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?A. BrusselsB. BudapestC. LisbonD. Madrid23. What’s the similarity of the four items?A. They’re all treasures of a cityB. They all date back several centuriesC. Their production processes are all painstakingD. They all win popularity in most European countriesBThe best family vacation that ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back set up so that it was out own little playroom. She would pack everything up in the feet well so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.When it got to the point that we were at each other’s throat s we would be sent back to out own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and travelled around the earth.Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off（食品烘烤赛）. But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces as silly Plasticine(普萊斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how farwe could stretc h each other’s mouth open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.24. What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?A. Watch moviesB. Play video gamesC. Have fun with his brotherD. Pack things up to amuse himself25. What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”?A. We were fighting with each otherB. We used up our skillsC. We were quite out of breathD. We were about to fall asleep26. What impressed the author most during the trip?A. Playing cards and board gamesB. Pulling each other’s faces and eyesC. Having a cooking competitionD. Playing with silly Plasticine27. Which of the following titles would best suit the passage ?A. An Unforgettable Family TravelB. What Is the Most Meaningful JourneyC. The Good Old Day Never to Be ForgottenD. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the PastCMayor Bill de Blasio designated(指定) the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday in New York City in June, 2015.The move came after de Blasio in March, 2015 declared school holidays on the most-observed holiday in Islam, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. De Blasio, making good on a promise made during his 2013 mayoral f on , said students would also have a day off on the Lunar New Year, and not long ago the Asian holiday took place on February 8, 2016."About 15% of the city’s school system is of Asian descent(血统), and many student, have been taking the day off as a sick day” said State Senator Daniel Squadron. “It’s a big deal,”he said, whose district includes Manhattan’s Chinatown. “Families have had to choose between their most important cul tural celebration and missing a day of school.”The c ity’s Department of Education had been working on the practical arrangements for adding another holiday while maintaining the legal 180 school days. The problem was solved by combining two half days that previously did not count towards the total to form a single full day that can be counted towards the total. After San Francisco, New York is the second major urban school district to add the Lunar New Year to the official school calendar.“This holiday is not about kids just getting a day off from school,”said Assemblyman Ron Kim. “It’s about the City of New York telling hundreds of Asian-American societies that America is a cultural melting pot.” Kim said recognizing the holiday is one way of pushing back against feelings of isolation and marginalization(边缘化) felt by the Asian-American community.28. What does the underlined party in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Make use ofB. Stand byC. Keep up withD. Go against29. How does New York make the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday?A. By cancelling a legal 1-day holidayB. By copying the way of San FranciscoC. By adding a new full day to the school calendarD. By changing the legal 180 school days30. What do we know from Ron Kim’s words?A. He’s opposed to the new school holidayB. Asian culture is valued most in New YorkC. Asian culture is part of the American societyD. The holiday wipes out Asian Americans’ isolation31. What’s the best title for this passage?A. A new public school holiday in New YorkB. A promise made by the mayor of New YorkC. Cultural differences between America and AsiaD. A revolution of the Lunar New Year in New YorkDEarlier this week, I wrapped up (圆满完成) a 5-day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped(拍摄) this photo. AsI stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson. When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I’d like to do some street photography,” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.How often do you this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You’ve found a good spot? Next step : wake up early and drive there.This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you’ll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.32. What’s the author’s original purpose of the trip?A. To take picturesB. To attend lessonsC. To visit friendsD. To enjoy sunrise33. What lesson did the author learn?A. A given task leads to achievementB. Stick to your own decisionC. Get ready for challengesD. Hard work pays off34. What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?A. Make a detailed outlineB. Go to work out immediatelyC. Discuss the ways with coachesD. Choose a certain muscle group35. What’s the function of the last paragraph?A. To introduce a new topicB. To draw a conclusionC. To make a suggestionD. To ask readers to reflect on something 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。

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2017届高三上学期第二次周测英语试题含答案
第I卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）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。
AFor the Travel section, writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.Brussels: Chocolate.Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgium---with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year---certainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the country’s capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.Budapest: Paprika(红辣椒)The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.Lisbon: Tiles(瓷砖)Is there a bluer country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically--- blue designs of azulejos----ceramic tiles---are spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats(贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on.Madrid: GuitarsWalking into one the Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠)turn some humble wood into works of art. It’s painstaking work---all done by hand---with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.21. What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?A. The popularity of Hungarian peppersB. The difficult of processing peppersC. The unique tradition in BudapestD. The hot level of Hungarian peppers22. Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?A. BrusselsB. BudapestC. LisbonD. Madrid23. What’s the similarity of the four items?A. They’re all treasures of a cityB. They all date back several centuriesC. Their production processes are all painstakingD. They all win popularity in most European countriesBThe best family vacation that ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back set up so that it was out own little playroom. She would pack everything up in the feet well so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.When it got to the point that we were at each other’s throat s we would be sent back to out own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quitesome time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and travelled around the earth.Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bake-off（食品烘烤赛）. But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces as silly Plasticine(普萊斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other’s mouth open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.24. What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?A. Watch moviesB. Play video gamesC. Have fun with his brotherD. Pack things up to amuse himself25. What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”?A. We were fighting with each otherB. We used up our skillsC. We were quite out of breathD. We were about to fall asleep26. What impressed the author most during the trip?A. Playing cards and board gamesB. Pulling each other’s faces and eyesC. Having a cooking competitionD. Playing with silly Plasticine27. Which of the following titles would best suit the passage ?A. An Unforgettable Family TravelB. What Is the Most Meaningful JourneyC. The Good Old Day Never to Be ForgottenD. How to Kill Time while Traveling in the PastCMayor Bill de Blasio designated(指定) the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday in New York City in June, 2015.The move came after de Blasio in March, 2015 declared school holidays on the most-observed holiday in Islam, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. De Blasio, making good on a promise made during his 2013 mayoral f on , said students would also have a day off on the Lunar New Year, and not long ago the Asian holiday took place on February 8, 2016."About 15% of the city’s school system is of Asian descent(血统), and many student, have been taking the day off as a sick day”said State Senator Daniel Squadron. “It’s a big deal,” he said, whose district includes Manhattan’s Chinatown. “Families have had to choose between their most important cultural celebration and missing a day of school.”The city’s Department of Education had been working on the practical arrangements for adding another holiday while maintaining the legal 180 school days. The problem was solved by combining two half days that previously did not count towards the total to form a single full day that can be counted towards the total. After San Francisco, New York is the second major urban school district to add the Lunar New Year to the official school calendar.“This holiday is not about kids just getting a day off from school,” said Assemblyman Ron Kim. “It’s about the City of New York telling hundreds of Asian-American societies that America is a cultural melting pot.”Kim said recognizing the holiday is one way of pushing back against feelings of isolation and marginalization(边缘化) felt by the Asian-American community.28. What does the underlined party in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Make use ofB. Stand byC. Keep up withD. Go against29. How does New York make the Lunar New Year an official public school holiday?A. By cancelling a legal 1-day holidayB. By copying the way of San FranciscoC. By adding a new full day to the school calendarD. By changing the legal 180 school days30. What do we know from Ron Kim’s words?A. He’s opposed to the new school holidayB. Asian culture is valued most in New YorkC. Asian culture is part of the American societyD. The holiday wipes out Asian Americans’ isolation31. What’s the best title for this passage?A. A new public school holiday in New YorkB. A promise made by the mayor of New YorkC. Cultural differences between America and AsiaD. A revolution of the Lunar New Year in New YorkDEarlier this week, I wrapped up (圆满完成) a 5-day trip in San Francisco. I woke up a few hours before sunrise, drove through the darkness and out of the city, hiked for 30 minutes to the top of a hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and snapped(拍摄) this photo. As I stood there soaking in the early morning light, I was reminded of an important lesson.When I arrived in San Francisco, I told myself, “Just take photos as you do other things.” My primary goal was to meet with friends and so I figured I could take pictures as we walked around the city. This resulted in exactly zero photos worth sharing. I had vague ideas like, “I’d like to do some street photography,” but I never went out with the intent of photographing something specific. Finally, on the last morning, I went out with the intent of capturing a specific picture and I ended up with something worth sharing. My mistake was that I assumed that because I wanted to take photos, I would end up getting a desirable result.How often do you this in your own life? We go to the gym to “work out” without trying to become better at something specific. We wish that we were more creative, but never work on a particular project. When you commit to a task, however, then the next step is obvious. You want to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunrise? Next step: find a good spot. You’ve found a good spot? Next step : wake up early and drive there.This is perhaps the most shocking thing: if box yourself in, then you’ll begin to break out and achieve something greater than you ever imagined.32. What’s the author’s original purpose of the trip?A. To take picturesB. To attend lessonsC. To visit friendsD. To enjoy sunrise33. What lesson did the author learn?A. A given task leads to achievementB. Stick to your own decisionC. Get ready for challengesD. Hard work pays off34. What are you advised to do first when you want to get stronger physically?A. Make a detailed outlineB. Go to work out immediatelyC. Discuss the ways with coachesD. Choose a certain muscle group35. What’s the function of the last paragraph?A. To introduce a new topicB. To draw a conclusionC. To make a suggestionD. To ask readers to reflect on something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。

You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．' I choose to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining．I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．The bottom line It's your choice how you live life．" I reflected on what Jerry said．Later．I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life．Several years later．I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous．The robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care．Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments（碎片）of the bullets still in his body．I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was．he replied．"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied．"Then, as I lay on the floor．I remembered that I had two choices I could choose to live．or I could choose to die．I chose to live．" " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I needed to take action．""What did you do?" I asked．"Well, there was a big．strong nurse shouting questions at me．" said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （过敏的）to anything．"Yes．' I replied．The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled, "Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead．'"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude．I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully．56．The author left Jerry's restaurant because he_____．A．wanted to start business on his ownB．was afraid of another robbery laterC．was not equal to the job any longerD．didn't get along well with others57．Why was Jerry shot?A．Because he left the back door open．B．Because he opened the safe too slowly．C．Because he pretended to forget the

doctors and nurses came with expressions of regret at his being shotD．He might not be saved by doctors and nurses．59．From the passage we can learn that Jerry _____．A．was no longer positive to his life after the operationB．was optimistic even when things were at their worstC．influenced all his colleagues in many waysD．was badly injured and stayed in hospital for six months60．Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A．Where there is life．there is hope．B．Everything comes to him who waits．C．Humor is the best medicine that creates miracle．D．Attitude determines everything．BAn old problem is getting new attention in the United State s—bullying．Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland．She hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying．Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her．Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers．Judy Kaczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA．Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota．She said, "Our daughter was a very outgoing child．She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends．And over a period of time her grades fell completely．She started having health issues．She couldn't sleep．She wasn't eating．She had terrible stomach pains．She started clenching（紧握，紧咬）her jaw and grinding her teeth at night．She didn't want to go to school．"Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person．It can involve physical violence．Or it can be verba l—for example, insults or threats．Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying．And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages．It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time．The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late 1970s．The latest government study in the United States was released last year．It found that about one-third of students aged twelve to eighteen were bullied at school．Susan Sweater is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network．She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need．She says bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves．61．From the case of Tina, we can know that _____．A．bullying is rare B．victims suffered a lotC．schools are to blame D．personalities are related 62．Which of the following is NOT bullying?A．To beat someone repeatedly．B．To call someone names．C．To isolate someone from friends．D．To refuse to help someone in need．63．Why is cyberbullying appealing to the bully?A．Because it can involve more people．B．Because it can create worse effects．C．Because it is more convenient．D．Because it can avoid cheating．64．According to Susan Sweater．_____．A．bullies are anti-socialB．bullies should give victims helpC．students are not equally treatedD．bullies themselves also need help65．Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A．Bullyin g—An Irish Girl Committed SuicideB．15-year-old Irish Girl Committed SuicideC．Cyberbullyin g—Taking Off in SchoolsD．How to Find Bullying among TeensC"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory．" says the Educational and Training Support Agency．This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development．"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency．"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes．" says the Government-founded agency．"It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills．Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes．" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills．In the United States, some companies have contracts （合同）which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date．Contrary to this traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system．At the same time．businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase．"This．of course," says business theory．"will also improve the productivity （生产率）of the workers and therefore the profits of the company．"66．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because _____．A．they are not loyal to companiesB．other rewards replace gold watchesC．the way prove to be a failureD．serving a company for life is rare now67．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _____．A．hopping from job to job has become a new trendB．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their lifeC．workers have to take more responsibility for themselvesD．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so68．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers shouldA．show more loyalty to their companiesB．try to develop their skills to fit in with changesC．go to college to have their skills up to dateD．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility69．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means _____．A．people who have received higher educationB．people who study hard themselvesC．people who learn things very quicklyD．people who continue their study beyond regular education70．Companies require their employee's development mainly because _____．A．it will finally help to bring more profits to the companyB．it can attract more workers who pay special attention to self-developmentC．it is good for the employees to develop their skillsD．it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the companyPart Iv Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Fill．in the numbered, blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Learning to improve your focus throughout the day can be a little difficult, only because we are talking about 18 to 24 hours, depending on the number of hours you sleep．However, if we break down your day into manageable time frames, it would make it much easier to learn to improve your focus．Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus．Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone．Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve．Other mind exercises you can do are internalizing．This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture．Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions．An example of this would be to imagine you in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert．Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen．This can actually be a lot of fun．and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only．If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy．Why not make lists? Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon．and finally, another list for the evening．Study your lists carefully and see where you can move thingsaround．For instance, if you have a dinner to arrange that evening, don't bunch up everything in the afternoon, right before the guests arrive．Divide your chores and errands between morning and afternoon, and give yourself an hour or two to relax before the guests arrive．Planning helps you focus．It will also not stress you out．Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks．If children have rest and lunch as their breaks, adults should also allow themselves the privilege of stopping for a drink or a 30 minute sitcom on TV．Of course, if you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks．Use this time wisely．Don't spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office．Doing this would actually stress you and get you to lose focus on the things that need to be done．Your breaks should be as quiet as possible．Read a book．take a walk．or visit a daycare．Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest．The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds．Of course, it could also be because you are bored with nothing to do all day．A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain is a desirable situation to be in．Find your capacity to work, and try not to veer away too far from it on a daily basis．Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well．Focus is important but difficult to improve1．71 to improve your focusI ．Staring at picture．◆Staring at a wall picture 72 to learn to block out surroundingsⅡ．73 ．◆Concentrating on imagining a potentially stressful work place to block out 74Ⅲ．75 ．◆Dividing a day into 76 for chores and errands to be done．as well as arranging time for relaxationIV．Taking breaks．◆Wisely using time to have a drink, watch TV quietly instead of 77 ; just resting your brain2．78 for easily losing focus◆Having too much on minds◆79 all dayConclusion Keeping 80 between extremely relaxed brain and too active brain．Section B （10 marks）Directions Read．the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet．When I was 10 years old, my friend Sydney was diagnosed with a brain tumor．Sydney fought against it, but the tumor did not respond to treatment, and could not be surgically removed．The mass wrapped around her brain stem, the area of the brain that controls the vital functions of life such as breathing and blood pressure．Sydney died at the age of 11．After her death, I felt immense sadness and frustration about pediatric cancer．I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions．When I was 11 years old．I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild（PPD）with two friends．The guild is named after Sydney s favorite color and pattern, which represents both the memory of my friend and the guild's positive approach．Mygoal has been to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children．Over the years, PPD has held fundraisers from lemonade stands to art expositions to golf tournaments．I have played a leading role in planning and organizing each PPD event．The very first Pink Polka Dots event, a garage sale．raised $ 9．000, and our most recent fundraiser, the fifth annual golf tournament, brought in over $ 73．000．The guild progressed faster than I ever anticipated．In five years, we have become 40 members strong, and raised almost half of a million dollars．I've been shocked by the public recognition that the guild has earned．PPD received an award from a U．S．Senator, spoke at a TED Conference, was featured in Teen Vogue, and appeared on The Note Berkus Show．Each of these honors has raised awareness and money for our cause．The initiative that I have taken has truly impacted the world of cancer research．PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as "Tumor Paint", which illuminates cancerous cells so that surgeons can remove them with unprecedented accuracy．The discovery appeared in Time Magazine．, and will be reviewed by the Food & Drug Administration starting in early 2012．1 am extremely proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology．Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist．My experience has taught me that with passion and dedication, it is possible to make a difference to the world．The determination that Pink Polka Dots sparked in me has carried over to all aspects of my life, making me a driven academic, a competitive debater and a dedicated volunteer．81．Why did the author feel sad and frustrated? （No more than 8 words）82．What was the author s purpose of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）83．What achievement has PPD made in helping cancer research? （No more than 13 words）84．What did the author learn trom his own experience of founding PPD? （No more than 15 words）Section C （25 marks）Directions Write, an English composition according to the instructions given below．现今，中学生由于学业繁重几乎都没有在家承担任何家务责任。

Now they had 36 and were leaving.I was sitting alone in my car when I saw a man in his seventies, whose problem appeared bigger than mine. He stood near the edge of the road, 37 a kite spindle(风筝线锭) in his hands. Apparently, lost in thought, he stared skyward. I 38 my neck to see how successfulhe had been in 39 the clouds. Following his string with my eyes, I almost lost 40 0f the other end. Finally, the kite rested on what seemed to be the highest branch of the 41 treein the park. Obviously, that was his grandson's kite! The kite was a replica (复制品) of a beautiful bald eagle, and its wings spread 42 0pen. Grandpa had only one 43 to his problem: cut the string."You wanted it to fly as high as it could. Bill. didn't you?" "Yes, Grandpa, 44 wantedto keep it forever. " "There just comes a time when the only thing you can do is to cut the string and let it go. Perhaps by doing that, when it flies very high like real eagles do, it will come back to us. " Grandpa said.I 45 how the old man cut the string to let fly the kite. As the two walked away, lookedto the 46 . There I saw my answer, too. Today I have to cut the final strings that kept my two boys 47 my reach. Though I want to keep them forever, I have taught them to fly likean eagle.

Or we can take control of it and make it 50 ally(同盟) .By taking control of 51 you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming 52 more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote 53 your studies, the more time you'II have to spend on your outside interests .The aim of time management is 54 to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable 55 governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time.Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)Directions : Read the following three passages . Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage .ANormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attendinga university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normallya student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a studentto move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded. and the record is available for the student to show to potential employers. All this imposes(增加) a constant pressure and stress of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example,by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students. the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held oneof these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.56. Normally a student would at least attend __________classes each week.A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 1557. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowedA. to live in a different universityB. to change permanently his or her universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities58. American university students are usually under pressure of work because__________.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to obey university rulesD. they want to run for positions of authority59. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_________.A. they hate the constant pressure and stress of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid60. The student organizations seem to be effective in__________.A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students' performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students' enthusiasm for social activitiesBI have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance. Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.Beyond that, though, I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. because he is constantly available by means of text message and responds with faithfulness and speed.61. What is Mark Bauerlein ' s attitude to texting?A. It is convenient for teens to communicate with others.B. It is likely to cause trouble in understanding each other.C. It is convenient for teens to text and call at the same time.D. It will cause damage to the development of teens' intelligence.62. What would be the best title for this passage?A. For Teens, Texting Instead of TalkingB. For Parents, Caring Much for Their KidsC. Disadvantages of TextingD. The Effect of Communication63. What does the underlined word "distracted" in the fifth paragraph mean?A. Confused.B. Absent-minded.C. Comfortable.D. Bad-tempered.64. The author's attitude to texting is ___________ .A. objectiveB. opposedC. supportiveD. doubtful65. According to the passage, which of the statements is NOT true?A. It is normal for a teen to send or receive 60 text messages per day.B. Texting is a very popular way of communication among teens.C. The writer limited his son to send or receive messages at first.D. When texting, teens don't mind talking with you.CAccording to legend, the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, which connects the Palazzo Ducale to an ancient prison, got its name because the walk across it gave prisoners on their way to jail a final chance to enjoy the beauty of the city. The view from the bridge today, however, is more likely to be of a giant billboard selling Bulgari or Coca-cola.But when the Coke billboards went up this summer on buildings near the Piazza San Marco,which is at the historic heart of Venice, there was a public debate."We can't commercialize everything, " said Alessandra Mottola Molfino, a Venetian."We couldn't stay quiet, " said Maria Camilla Bianchini d'Alberigo, president of a heritage protection association.City of officials. however, argue that without these ads, the city could not afford to maintain its heritage. Many have been damaged by centuries of wear and are even a threat to public safety. "I can't turn down the image of a bottle when there are pieces of the Palazzo Ducale falling to the ground, " said Renata Codello, a Culture Ministry official.The Culture Minister has a budget of about $ 47 million (315 million yuan) for restoration of monuments. but Italy has a rich architectural heritage, and funds are always tight. Of that amount, $ 1. 8 million was given to the entire Veneto region, which includes Venice.Two years ago, the city signed an agreement with the Dottor Group, a company responsible for the restoration of the Bridge of Sighs and the Palazzo Ducale. It allows it to sell ad space. But there is a condition in the agreement: The ads should not offend public taste.In August, Venice banned US actress Julianne Moore's Bulgrari ad from a billboard in the Piazza San Marco.The photo shows a naked Moore covered with lion cubs. handbags and jewelry. Mayor Giorgio Orsoni called the image too racy (猥亵) and unsuitable for the Piazza San Marco."l consider the fact that Venice is part of the real world_ but we cannot accept these Hollywood-style images. There are wise sponsors. and we need to come up with advertising thatsuits Venice. not Times Square, " he said in a speech.66. The article is mainly about__________in Venice.A. restoration of cultural heritageB. widespread commercializationC. the conflict between ads and cultural heritageD. the difficulty of restoring monuments67. In the first paragraph, the beautiful view from the Bridge of Sighs is mentioned to__________.A. introduce other monuments of the ancient cityB. show many ancient structures need repairingC. indicate that the view is blocked by huge adsD. attract readers' interest in the famous city68. From the article we can conclude that Renata Codello__________ the advertising.A. is in favor ofB. is worried aboutC. objects toD. doesn't mind69. Why do many Venetians complain about the ads?A. They support commercialization.B. They feel the ads are damaging the city.C. The ads are usually racy and in an American style.D. The ads don't present a traditional view of Venice.70. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. Hollywood stars' ads cannot go up in VeniceB. people can buy Bulgari or Coca-cola on the Bridge of SighsC. the Dottor Group may stop its restoration work for lack of fundsD. the mayor of Venice is expecting new advertisingPartⅣ Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions : Read the following passage . Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage .Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer .Facebook is one of the most popular websites that offer social networking today with more than l billion users around the world. Online social networking is just like-minded people coming together for some activities, forming groups, having discussions, sharing photographs, etc.Similarly, Facebook enables all these activities by various applications(运用程序) , for example, providing forums, photo sharing options. video updating, keeping a track on all the happenings in their formed communities, people they have approved to be linked to, etc. Online gaming is one of the biggest USPs(独特的卖点) of Facebook, and indeed, games like Farmville and Mafia Wars have attracted many users to the site. Facebook also offered a brilliant platform for business to reach out to their customers.In the beginning, Facebook was just meant for Harvard University students to find and contact fellow students. It was meant to serve the purpose of keeping track of who was new to college to get in touch with each other for project purposes. It was an online directory(目录) , and was founded in 2004 0n the Harvard University campus. However, as soon as it was launched, almost two thirds of the total number of students registered themselves on Facebook. Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, along with Chris Hughes, Dustin Moskovitz. and Eduardo Saverin. helped in the launch of the site. To pursue this, Mark dropped out of Harvard and got into making Facebook a worldwide accessible site, and then to its current stand of being the top social networking site in the world.Today, Facebook rules the social networking world, with one person in fourteen using it. It is also the second most popular site in the US, and is worth billions of dollars. And it has been a success story for the four co-founders, making them all accidental billionaires.Title : Facebook-the most popular social networking site in the worldI .

Popularity:* As an 78 : having almost two thirds of the students on it* As the top social networking site :ruling the social networking ;having over 79 in the world;being 80 billions of dollarsSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the. questions according to the information given in the passage.As an English teacher. I've been lucky enough to travel to many countries. I've seen people celebrating everything from the arrival of new babies to the delivery of new cars. I've attended weddings, parties and religious celebrations in countries as far apart as Argentina and Japan, and I've noticed that gold - the metal or the colour is almost always part of cultural events, traditions and celebrations.From 'mashallah' gold tokens(纪念品) that people give to babies in Turkey, to the gold stars that primary teachers stick on their students' exercise books. to the gold coffin that the 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson was buried in. it makes me wonder: Why do people love gold? For some people, gold seems to be a status symbol. Indian businessman Datta Phuge loves gold so much that he's even bought a shirt made of the stuff-at a cost of $ 250,000. Datta Phuge has his reasons. He explains : "Some elite (杰出人物)people want to own an Audi or Mercedes(奔驰) and have big cars. I chose gold. "For other people, gold is an investment. The price of gold generally increases over time-and in European markets it reached over $ 1,500 per ounce in 2011.And for many people, the family heirloom(传家宝)brings together status and investment. My mother has a gold bracelet that was given to her by her grandmother-who, in turn. inherited itfrom her own grandmother. It's quite a heavy piece and probably worth quite a lot of money. But its sentimental value is greater than its value in dollars: It ' s a beautiful object that holds many family memories. When the time comes, my mum will give the bracelet to me.So, status and investment are good reasons to value gold. But, I think that the real reason people love gold is because it can be made into beautiful objects. Think about Tutankhamen' s death mask. People love gold because it captures our minds, our imaginations and. above all, our hearts.81.

Novak Djokovic was born on May 22, 1987 in Belgrade,. Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. His two younger brothers , Marko and Djordie, are also tennis players with professional aspiration.When Novak was 2 and a half, the family moved to Mount Kopaonik. His parents, Srdian and Dijana, opened a restaurant there. There were tennis courts right in front of their restaurant. His father saw love in his eyes when Novak looked at the tennis courts, so he bought his son a colorful small racket with a soft foam ball. It soon became the most beloved toy in the boy’s life. He would rather play with it than anything else. One year later, he went to a tennis camp in Novi Sad. There he hit the same backhand at 4 as he hits today. In the summer of 1993, Novak was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Gencic. Upon seeing Novak play tennis, she stated, “This is the greatest talent I have ever seen.”Gencic worked with young Novak over the following six years before realizing that, due to his rapid development, going abroad in search of increased level of competition was the best option for his future. To that end, in September 1999, the 12-year-old moved to a tennis academy in OberschleiBheim, Germany, spending four years there. At the age of 14, he began his international career, wining European championships in singles, doubles, and team competition.Novak turned professional in 2003. By winning three Grand Slam titles in 2011, Novak became the sixth male player to win three majors in a calendar year. He repeated this achievement in 2015. In majors, Novak has won six Australian Open titles. He has also won three Wimbledon titles and two US Open titles. Besides, Novak is also a member of the “Champions for peace” club, a group of famous athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco-based international organization. Novak is the first male player representing Serbia to win a Grand Slam singles title. The people of Serbia see Novak as their idol for how to succeed.24. What does the underlined word “aspiration” mean in the first paragraph?A. preferenceB. courageC. ambitionD. confidence25. Why did Jelena Gencic stop coaching Novak?A. Because she spotted another talent greater than NovakB. Because Novak didn’t develop fast in those six yearsC. Because she thought Novak needed a better platformD. Because Novak had been admitted to a tennis academy26. Which of the following is the right order?①Novak went to a tennis cam p in Novi Sad②Novak was admitted into a tennis academy in OberschleiBheim, Germany③Novak was spotted by Yugoslav tennis player Jelena Gencic④Novak and his family moved to Mount Kopaonik⑤Novak got a colorful small racket with a soft foam ball from his f atherA. ④①⑤③②B. ④⑤①③②C. ⑤①②④③D.⑤④①②③27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The people of Serbia speak highly of NovakB. Novak is the first male player to win a Grand Slam singles titleC. Novak also created a club to serve world peace through sportD. No one has made greater achievements than Novak in tennis historyCIndia now leads the world in smartphone growth. It saw a 55% increase in the number of smartphones in 2014. The number of Web users increased by 37%. Smartphones were the source of 65 % of its Internet traffic and 41 % of its e-commerce, according to a report by the analyst Mary Meeker, titled “Internet Trends 2015”.India’s Internet boom has started. Within three or four years, almost every adult in India will own a smartphone. They will be used to order goods, read news, monitor crop growth and so on.Indian adults will be very interested in these devices just as young Americans are. 87 % of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 who own smartphones say they never separate from these: “My smartphone never leaves my side.” Four out of five say that the first thing they do on waking is to reach for their smartphones. And three fifths believe that in the next five years everything will be done on mobile devices.In the business world, the rise of mobile platforms is dramatically transforming many industries all over the world. What Indian software developers have to do is to start thinking about solutions to old problems by using all the features of thesenew devices. They need to take advantage of the unique properties of smartphones and tablets. As Indian software developers and enterprises master the smartphone, they will be able to export their solutions to the rest of the world.This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s. We can expect the rapid transformation of India when a billion people become connected and have equal access to information and services.28. Loads of numbers are used in Paragraph 1 to show _____________.A. India’s smartphones increase most rapidly in the worldB. India has the most advanced IT industry in the worldC. India will be a superpower pretty soonD. India will export new smartphones to the rest of the world29. What percentage of young Americans get their smartphones first the moment they wake up?A. 37%B. 50%C. 80%D. 87%30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. India is the largest mobile maker in the world.B. Indian farmers use smartphones to monitor crop growth..C. Indian software developers have made great profits by selling their products abroad.D. India saw a great boom in IT industry some 30 years ago.31. Which can be the best title of the text?A. More people, more smartphonesB. No dream, every Indian owns a smartphoneC. At hand, India’s next tech revolutionD.A small smartphone, a big useDIf you could change your child’s DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR.CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly. The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer’s to canc er to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient’s immune system, the technology could help greatly.In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US’ National Academy of Scienc es plans to discuss questions about CRISPR’s ethics (伦理问题). For example, CRISPR doesn’t work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities. There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening ——for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn’t keep going.A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong. Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parent s might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can’t do with CRISPR. “It’s still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe.“We’re just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”32. What is the article mainly about?A. How CRISPR was developed by scientists.B. What we can and can’t do with CRISPR.C. Chinese scientist s’ experiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos.D. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics.33. According to the article, the technology of CRISPR ________.A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking forB. is banned in more than 40 countries and restricted in the rest of the countriesC. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their childrenD. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people34. It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR ________.A. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIVB. allows scientists to edit genomes for the first timeC. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNAD. has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases35. What is the author’s attitude toward CRISPR?A. Supportive.B. Worried.C. Negative.D. Objective.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。
