新课标2016年高二英语寒假作业2第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分60分)第一节(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)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。
AA machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules(分子) get through.Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology."It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(惊人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations."People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."24.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the machine?_______.A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water .B. The amount of water the machine produces is too small.C.The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space StationD. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?A. How the machine works.B. Who developed the machine.C. How the machine was invented.D. Why the machine was invented..26.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world.B. People do not like the water the machine processesC. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer.D. The machine is not worth popularizing.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filledwith almost three times as many clothes as yon need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs , leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn't get home until eight or nine o'clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm hen," says Daniel, "and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it's made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. "I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I'm not really a country girl, but I suppose I'm gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."74. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?A. People seldom work long hours to make money.B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.75. When Daniel was a reporter he _________________.A. lived in central LondonB. disliked his jobC. missed his childrenD. was well paid76. What does the underlined "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Child-caring.B. Liz's advice.C. Downshifting.D. Liz's job.77. The underlined word "downshifting" in the second paragraph means _________.A. repairing your car by yourselfB. spending money carefullyC. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeD. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week.CThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.27. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie28. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A. be very pleased withB. show great respect forC. be much taller thanD. show little interest in29. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A. Because she was rich enough.B. Because she was injured then.C. Because her husband didn’t like it.D. Because she wanted to write books.30. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.DMany Chinese people are confused with the two nations: one is known for its cheese and watches; the other for IKEA and Volvo.The problem largely stems from the fact that both nation’s names are written similarly in Mandarin---Ruidian(Sweden) and Ruishi (Switzerland)------which beginwith the same symbol, according to the Swedish Consul General Victoria Liu in China.In an effort to put an end to the mix-up, the Swedish and Swiss governments have launched a competition on a website, asking Chinese people to come up with funny ways to help differentiate the two countries. Submissions can be accepted as a blog post, cartoon, photo, short film or in any other format.The winner with the best submission will receive a 12-day trip to Sweden and Switzerland and will be expected to report back on his/her impressions of both countries following the trip, the website states. Entries will be accepted until November 20.The organizers have also devised a humorous campaign logo with objects and people associated with Sweden and Switzerland on separate maps of each country. Sweden’s map features meatballs, a Viking, as well as two male cartoon figures with a heart between them symbolizing gay marriage, which remains illegal in Switzerland. Switzerland’s map features cheese, the Alps and a picture of Roger Federer.China may not be the only country struggling to tell Sweden and Switzerland apart. Residents of Spanish-speaking countries also fall victim to the confusion as Sweden is spelt “Suecia” in Spanish while Switzerland is called “Suiza”.Sweden and Switzerland aren’t the only places that have caused confusion among people. Last month, , a British holidaymaker hoped to explore the architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, but instead mistakenly caught a flight across the Atlantic to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada following a confusing booking blunder. Earlier this summer, two US holidaymakers were flown to the wrong continent after an airline confused two airport codes.63.What can we learn about the competition launched by the two governments?A. The winner of the competition will receive a 24-day trip altogether to both of the countries.B. The winner will report his/her impressions on the two countries in his/her submission.C. T he competition is held among all people around the world.D. The competition is held in order to stop people’s confusion about the twocountries.64.Why does the author mention the British holidaymaker?A. To show us many people are confused by Sweden and Switzerland.B. To prove airports make mistakes about people’s places too.C. To explain Spanish-speaking people make mistakes too.D. To prove many people are confused about some places.65.In which part of a newspaper could you probably find the passage?A. TourismB. News reviewC. BusinessD. Culture66.What does th e underlined word “devised” mean?A. Compared.B. Collected.C. Invented.D. Installed第二节(七选五共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。

Maybe the following advice can help you. First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to them. Next, try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interest as you. You can discuss your studies with a classmate, and you can also talk about your hobbies as well. If anyone is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possible.2016年高一英语寒假作业参考答案就分享到这里了,更多高一英语寒假作业请继续关注高中频道!高一英语寒假测试卷(带答案和听力)高一英语上学期寒假试题(有答案)。

AThe world’s premier spelling bee ended Thursday in the U.S.for a second year in a row after an in-tense lo-round showdown between two young competitors to deal with some of the English language’s most obscure(生僻的)words.Vanya }hlvaShankar,13,and Gokul Venkatachalam,14,together raised the gold trophy(奖杯)in the 88th Scripps National Spelling Bee.Shivashankar,the sister of 2009 champion Kavya Shivashankar,initially gathered confidence as she went easily through such words as cytopoiesis,bouquetiere and thamakau.Venkatachalam,a basketball fan,also managed such tongue-twisters as poblacion,caudillismo and nixtamal.But as their eight fellow finalists failed one by one,the tension grew until they stood alone on stage·When Shivashankar,in the fourteenth round,correctly spelled scherenschnitte,the German 一derived(源自德语的)word for artistic paper cutting, official bee pronouncer Jacques Bailly, broke the news to.Venkatachalam . contest,Bailly said,was about to run out of words,and if Venkatachalam spelled his next word correctly,he and his rival(对手)would be declared joint winners一a repeat of last year’s surprise.The winning word came so easily to the eighth-grader from the branch St.Louis,Missouri suburb of Chesterfield that he skipped the bee contestant’s routine of asking for the word’s origin,meaning and usage in a sentence·“N一u一n一a一t一a一k,”the devoted LeBron James fan said,spelling the Inuit-derived word for an icy island as easily as if he was spelling d一。

AThe ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado (龙卷风), are a reminder that current building codes(规范) can’t do much to prevent property destruction and loss of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers(碉堡)and hardened safe rooms.The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometers per hour. With only 15 minutes’ warning, residents fled town or took refuge(避难)in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms.In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Monday's tornado, no such shelter was available. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. She's an advocate for tornado safe rooms.“The safe room is an interior(内部)room of the home that has been reinforced(加固)and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, we’ve already heard of stories of survival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said.Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderson says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced.As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moore’s mayor is pushing for an order to make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were adopted.25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with?A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.B. If people take shelter in safe rooms, nobody will die.C. It is urgent to build tornado safe rooms.D. Safe rooms can be built only underground.26. What can we infer from the text?A. Moore has gone through tornado 4 times in total.B. Chapman Henderson is Moore’s mayor.C. Monday's tor nado took 24 lives at two schools.D. The Moore’s proposal might not be approved.27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means________.A. opposeB. resistC. preventD. defeatBDo American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day----which really is pretty much for handwriting.Many adults remember learning that way----by copying letters over and over again. Today’s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency -writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, whichconnects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.1. We can infer from the first paragraph that ______.A. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting.B. most teachers attach importance to teaching handwriting.C. handwriting teaching is not commonly required.D. most teachers are at a loss how to teach handwriting2. Which of the following about traditional handwriting in the USA is NOT true?A. The students are taught by practicing a long period.B. Printing is taught in preference to writing in cursive.C. Handwriting is taught for its own sake.D. Two skills get involved in handwriting.3. Some American people consider handwriting not important any more because ______.A. all the American children learn to print firstB. about 1/4 of the students choose to print their essay on the testC. it is unnecessary to use handwriting in the age of keyboardD. computers and voice recognition programs are widely used4. ______ may serve as the best title for the passage.A. Handwriting: fascinating in keyboard ageB. Right or wrong: the death of handwritingC. Two skills involved in handwritingD. Handwriting lessons on the way outCEveryone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed. Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that weall feel a sense of ownership of history.History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to th e present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.52. The author mentions the bumper sticker in order to ________.A. show his own opinion about historyB. introduce the readers to MarwickC. explain the freedom of understanding historyD. make the readers know about the argument between historians53. Which of the following best describes the statement “History never stands still”?A. Marwick explains the changes in the way history is done up to the present.B. Marwick connects history with advances in the physical sciences.C. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms about history.D. The shape and content of history vary according to the methods and materials available.54. In paragraph 3, Marwick gives the example of dropping a ball in a vacuum to prove ________.A. the changeable nature of historyB. the difficulty of historical studyC. changeable ways of historical studyD. the difficulty of scientific study55. The text is intended to ________.A. state a historian’s ideasB. argue against a historianC. attract readers to study historyD. describe the story of a historianDA recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but using apps and browsing the Web.Spend that amount of time staring at anything. Checked our email in a restaurant, shared a picture of the food when it arrived, or checked a fact during a conversation only to be drawn into reading more instead of contributing verbally. It's no secret our lives are being affected by our obsession with smartphones.However, never before has this phenomenon been displayed so vividly as in the short YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already been viewed more than 10. 5 million times.Ironically, YouTube's statistics show that the site gets a billion views per day from mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phone.The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzrnan, shows groups of people in various social situations, the majority of which are completely attracted by their phones instead of the world around them. It's depressing because we' ve all seen it, and sad because to a certain extent, we all do it.32. What did the author think of looking at a smartphone?A. Supporting.B. Surprising .C. Relaxing.D.

At the gathering, a man called Douglas was again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life and saying that he first met Lincoln when Lincoln was a shop assistant at a village shop. Finally, he said, “And Mr. Lincoln was a very good shop assistant, too.”People burst into laughter, but they quieted down when Mr. Lincoln said calmly, “Gentleman, what Mr. Douglas has said is true. I did sell cotton, candles and cigars, and sometimes whisky. But I remember that in those days Mr. Douglas was one of my best buyers. I often stood on one side of the counter and sold whisky to Mr. Douglas on the other side, but the difference between us is:I have left my side of the counter, but Mr. Douglas still_sticks_to_his_as_firmly_as_ever.”25.The story took place at a ________.A. meetingB.restaurantC. concertD. gettogether26.Why was Mr. Douglas again and again talking about Lincoln's low position in life?A.

Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of peo ple start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world – and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in , , in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr Kataria. “Every one’s naturally good at laughing –it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in and over 1,300 worldwide. Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5 – year study in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by abo ut 40%.So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nea rest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at th e beginning of the class, to be honest – I wasn’t interested in l aughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about lo oking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands a nd say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. How ever, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughte r and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effe cts.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real – and some people just couldn’t stop! Atthe end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comf ortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. Yo u might be very pleased with the results!57.In which country was the first Laughter Club started? A.Britain. B.America. C.Australia.

It can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat. There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy group h as food like milk, cheese and sour milk. The other three group s are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, a nd the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. With all these food togeth er, you will be given enough energy during the day.It is easy to get into bad eatinghabits. You may eat your break fast in a hurry to get to school on time.

In its original sense, however, culture includes all identif ying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical e nvironment, history, and traditions, its social rules and econo mic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down f rom one generation to another. It is for this reason that most p eople regard culture as learned rather than innate. People ac quire a culture because they are not born with one. The proce ss by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, acc ented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols — images that a re familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but m ore literally represent specific tribes (部落). In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with te mples while in ancient it was a color only the emperor’s famil y was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond t o a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to othe rs, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can s eem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all oth er cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethn ocentric (from the Greek ethnos, meaning “people,” and kentr os, meaning “center”). A strongly ethnocentric society assume s also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be i nferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspect s of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well -functioning society. An appreciation for on e’s own culture, ho wever, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another c ulture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which peop le from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and w ork together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to r acism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one’s ow n race is superior to all others.87. What does the word “innate” in Paragraph 2 most probabl y mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.88. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own.C. Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group , nation or empire.D. People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an a greement on some image.89. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among di fferent cultures.C. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a supe rior role in the world.90. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origin of racial superiorityB. Culture, a fait hful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nation第二节(七选五共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。

2016高二英语寒假试卷及参考答案第一部分: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)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
AMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when giventhe choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such asFranceandBritain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.1. We can infer from the text that humans and animals.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food2.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that,several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again myhusband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.

AAlfred Carlton Gilbert(1884-1961) was a man of many ideas and talents. As a small boy, he kept trying new things. At age 12, he started a sports club for his friends and got their school to have a field day with acti ve games and prizes. As he grew and practiced, Gilbert beca me skilled at pole vaulting(撑杆跳高), pull-ups, the long jump and football.Gilbert broke the world record for pull-ups in 1900 and the distance record for running long dive in 1 902. And he won a gold medal in the pole vault at the Olympic Games in 1908. By that time, he had nearly finished medical studies. Choosing not to make medicine his career, Gilbert co -founded Mysto Manufacturing, a manufacturer of magic sets, i n 1907. Gilbert had amused his friends and earned college m oney by doing magic tricks, so he knew what was needed. On e day, Gilbert saw workers using steel girders(钢梁) to build towers for power lines. That gave him the idea fo r the Erector Set, a popular construction toy.In 1917, the Council of National Defense thought no toys sho uld be produced for Christmas because the country was fighti ng in World War I. Gilbert and other men from the Toy Manufa cturers of America went to , with about 40 different toys. They had 15 minutes to speak. This meeting was at the end of a lo ng, hard day. Gilbert told the government men at the meeting how toys helped children learn. His helpers brought out the to ys. Soon, the tired government men were on the floor, playing with building sets, models of navy ships, and other toys. The time limit was forgotten; so was the Christmas toy ban(禁令).Gilbert spent the rest of his life improving erector sets. His co mpany made and sold the sets, plus chemistry and other scie nce sets and toy trains. He made items for homes, businesse s, and the army. When he died in 1961, he had 150 patents (专利)for his many inventions. But his main joy was in helping children learn and have fun at the same time.67. What’s the right order of the events about Gilbert?a. He argued against a ban on toy production.b. He broke the world record for pull-ups.c. He set up a manufacturer of magic sets.d.

The amazing Mr. Gilbert.BAs a school teacher, Inderjit Khurana used to take the train to work. And one day, at the station, she saw dozens of children who spent their days begging from train passengers rather th an going to school. She learned that it was not a rare problem and that millions of children in lived on the streets. Realizing that these children would never be able to escape p oor life and homelessness without education, and that it woul d be impossible to send these children to school, Inderjit deci ded to create a model program---taking the school to the most out- of-school children. Khurana’s train platform schools aim to provide a creative sch ool form and give children the basic levels of education. Her l ast goals reach far beyond the 20 platform schools she and h er colleagues have created in India’s region. She is determin ed that her program will become a model for changing the live s of the poorest children throughout and the world.Khurana founded the Ruchika Social Service Organization(RSSO) in 1985. The teachers gather the children together betw een the stops of the train for reading, writing, maths and histor y taught through songs and other teaching tools.Khurana recently comes to realize that the education of these children is impossible when the most basic needs of their fami lies are not being met. So she also provides food and medicin e for their families.Khurana insists that every child have the right to an education and that if a child cannot come to the school, then the school must come to him or her.1.

What can we learn form Tanni's success?A. Union is strongthB.Never too late to learnC. Well begun is half doneD. No pains , no gainsDDomestic (驯养的) horses now pull ploughs, race in the Kentucky Derby, and carry police. But early horses weren’t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think th e first interactions humans had with horses were far different f rom those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that liv ed around them for food. Over time, people began to catch th e animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestica tion.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For ex ample, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a ge ntle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People w ho used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to kee p stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly con trolled by the animals’ genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these c hosen characteristics.Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes a nd sizes. This variety didn’t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest br eeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, t he animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came o n the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horse s to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societie s. For example, horse were important tools in the advanceme nt of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before t hey were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on fo ot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in differ ent areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid t ransportation helped cultures spread around the world59. Before domestication horses were ______.A. caught for sportsB. hunted for foodC. made to pull ploughsD. used to carry people60. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to sho w ______.A. it is smaller than the Clydesdale horseB. horse used to have gentle personalitiesC. some horses have better shaped than othersD. horses were of less variety before domestication61. Horses contributed to the spread of culture by ______.A. carrying heavy loadsB. changing farming methodsC. serving as a means of transportD. advancing agriculture in different areas62. The passage is mainly about _______.A. why humans domesticated horsesB. how humans and horses needed each otherC. why horses came in different shapes and sizesD. how human societies and horses influenced each other第二节(七选五共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。

ATo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella(雨伞)to keep the water off when it rains,but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain。
Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times。
Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade。
And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection againstthe rain were the ancient Romans。

AKatie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie's she was never ever a discipline(纪律)problem.I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch.They assumed a sit — down with Katie would solve the problem,but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation。
So the next day, I asked Katie to my office."Why are you charging lunches, Katie?What happened to your homemade lunch?” I asked."I lose it," she responded.I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don’t believe you, Katie.” She didn’t care."Is someone stealing your lunch,Katie?" I took a new track.”No.I just lose it,” she said.Well,there was nothing else I could do.The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boywho was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table.He always looked sad.I thought I would go and sit with him for a while.As I walked towards him,I noticed the lunch bag on the table.The name on the bag said ” Katie " .Now I understood and I talked to Katie.It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch,and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch.He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school.Katie asked me not to tell her parents,but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed.I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her.But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.Katie still buys lunch every day at school.And every day, as she heads out of the door,her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.46.What did the author think of Katie?A.She performed well at school.B.She was a girl filled with love.C.She often made trouble at school.D.She used to be a discipline problem.47.Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A.She lost her homemade lunch.B.She had her homemade lunch stolen.C.She didn't like the taste of her homemade lunch.D.She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy.48.What was Katie’s parents' reaction to the truth about the lunc h? A.They were very angry.B.They were proud of Katie.C.They were disappointed.D.They were rather upset.49.What can we learn from the passage?A.Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret.B.Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk.C.Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident.D.Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered.BMany of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG).Nearly all such lands are economically well developed.They include much of Europe(including Russia),the United States,Canada,Japan.and Australia.As the rate of natural increase (RNI)declines,two things happen.First,the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration.Second,a country's population ages because there are fewer births.Is achieving ZPG good or bad?What happens when a country’s population begins to drop?Many people,after all,believe that population decline is a good thing.But is it good for everyone?Does everyone agree?An aging population can create many problems.Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention.Rather than paying into retirementprograms,they begin to draw from their pensions.In the US,the Social Security program,according to many experts,will be used up by 2018.It will pay out more money than it takes in.Additionally,a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or entry level positions that pay low wages.With an able to do them.Many of these jobs are aging population,who will fill them? At the other extreme,some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills.Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple:increased migration.Today many people,particularly those from less developed countries,are migrating in search of employment.Many are willing to take jobs that cannot(or will not)be filled by the domestic population.Others are well educated and highly skilled.Both groups contribute to a country’s economy progress in many ways.Further,they add to the richness of a country's culture.Of greatest importance,perhaps,is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands.As you can see,for many countries and for most immigrants,migration is a win-win situation.32.In the writer’s view,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good.B.Achieving ZPG is every country’s aim in spite of its side effects.C.Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens.D.Achieving ZPG is good for employment.33.According to the passage,the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is .A.to improve the health care system B.to increase RNIC.to increase employment D.to increase migration34.The underlined words “the domestic population'’ can be replaced by .A.people within the country B.people from developing countries C.people without a college education D.people living abroad 35.The main idea of the last paragraph is 。

On the Internet.CWhen a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability.Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.We can find robots everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. They may someday drive your car, too.Two robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, were sent to Mars on a mission to explore the red planet.Jeff Clune is a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming. He says robots also help people in natural disasters.Robots are deployed in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.“The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are extremely unpredictable and dangerous. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a hexapod robot, one with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury. Their findings were reported in the journal “Nature”.Mr. Clune said that once the robots become damaged, they use their intuition and knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.He says the robots are also programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage.66. At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions dogs to __________.A. provide examples of how animals deal with unexpected injuryB. show how scientists get inspiration from dogs to develop technologyC. introduce the topic in a more attractive wayD. suggest that scientists shouldn’t ignore the similarity between dogs and robots.67. According to the passage, nowadays robots can’t __________.A. play chess or clean the houseB. be sent on a mission to explore on the MarsC. help people in search and rescue operations following an earthquakeD. examine the wreckage of a nuclear accident68. Why are Mr.Clune and other scientists devoted to developing the technology?A. They want to succeed in programming robots with child-like curiosity.B. They expect to enable robots to continue working despite injury under difficult conditions.C. They intend to make robots which can be sent to a lot of places said to be unsafe.D.

It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels ofcommunity service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can s hift people’s wish of participation from an internal (内在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external (外在的) factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to conc rete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.32. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs33. What can we learn from the Florida study?A. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.34. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?A. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. How to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD.
