convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰwe spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds.60．The first paragraph tells us the author________.A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB．lost his hearing when he was a childC．didn’t like his brothers and sistersD．was born to a naturalist’s family61．The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because________.A．he didn’t live very long with themB．the family was extremely largeC．he was too young when he lived with themD．he was fully occupied with observing nature62．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist.B．The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C．The author is first of all a scientist.D．The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.63．The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.A．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticB．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistC．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesD．comes up with solutions in a most natural wayDRalph and Norton can grow to be 40 feet long and live in a tank as large as a football field.What are they？They’re the only two whale sharks at a North American aquarium (水族馆)．You can see Ralph and Norton at the world’s largest aquarium，the new Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.The aquarium’s giant tanks hold eight million gallons of water and will be home to about 100,000 fish!The aquarium was designed to look like a giant ship breaking through the waves.It has 60 different habitats from the sea and five galleries (展馆)，each with a different theme.About 2.4 million visitors are expected to come each ye ar.“We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium.” said Jeff Swanagan，the aquarium’s executive director.Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Taiwan.They were only 15 and 13 feet long，but they may grow to be more than 40 feet long！Whale sharks ar e the world’s largest fish.Three fulltime vets will work there to make sure that Ralph，Norton，and all of the aquarium’s sea life stay healthy.Students from the University of Georgia will help run the aquarium and conduct research at the animal hospital.The aquarium was paid for almost completely by a $200 million gift from Berne Marcus，co-founder of the Home Depot Inc，and his wife，Billi.“It’s going to be the most unique aquarium in the world，”said Marcus.Marcus said the aquarium was a “thank you” note to the city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia，where the Home Depot first opened for business.68．According to this passage，Ralph and Norton are________.A．polar bears B．whale sharks C．penguins D．dolphins69．The world’s largest aquarium located in________.A．Los Angeles B．New York C．AtlantaD．Miami70．Which of the following is TRUE?A．The aquarium was designed to look like a giant shark.B．The aquarium’s giant tanks can hold eighteen million gallons of water.C．Ralph and Norton arrived in June,2005 from Japan.D．Marcus helped to build the aquarium to show his thanks to Atlanta.71．By saying “We want to be the world’s most engaging aquarium”，Jeff Swanagan means________.A．the aquarium will attract a large number of visitorsB．the aquarium will be home to very special sea animalsC．the aquarium will be rebuilt and will be made even largerD．the aquarium will be the largest habitat for sea life第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Peter was walking back home from school, thought

D．Compared【分析】与整个地球的大小相比较，最大的海洋一点也不显大．【解答】答案：D．compare是动词原形，在句中作谓语，而本题横线处应该使用非谓语动词，可排除A．compared with（作为过去分词词组）与…相比，在句中作状语，为一固定表达；我们还可以这样理解：句子的主语是the biggest ocean，与动词compare

is all agreed that a good education doesn't ________ a good job．（）A．guarantee B．result C．depend D．swear【分析】人们都同意好的教育并不能保证有份好的工作．【解答】答案是A．本题考查动词词义辨析．guarantee vt．保证；result vi．发生，导致；后果；depend

if"即使"．其他选项的含义分别是B"自从"；C"是否"；D"直到"．【点评】考查从属连词．even if与even though的区别：even if一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情，even though引出的是事实．如：Even if we achieve great success in our work，we should not be proud．即使我们在工作中取得了巨大成绩，也不应该自满．Even though he was late，he was not criticized by the teacher．虽然他晚了，可他并没有受到老师的批评．第二节完形填空（满分20分）36．（20分）A poor girl was selling flowers in the street （36）B Christmas Eve．Her

fly at between 18，000 feet and 25，000 feet，beating his previous world altitude record of 21，600 feet，and must fly uninterrupted a distance ten times longer than his previous world record of 230 miles in order to succeed．The adventurer Trappe，who holds records for crossing the Alps，flying the most cluster balloons，and the longest distance，has spent his entire career，building up to this ambitious plan．“I didn’t wake up one day and think：‘I’ going to fly across the Atlantic，’”he said．“Every attempt before this was prepared for this fight，I’ve been training for a long time”．1．The adventurer flew across the English Channel to______．A．test the balloons B．launch a houseC．shoot a hit movie D．prepare for breaking a record2．To finish the journey，he will fly a distance of______．A．2500 miles B．18，000 feet C．25，000 feet D．230 miles 3．About the ambitious journey，which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．When he will fly B．How high he sill flyC．How far he will fly D．How long it will take him4．How many world records does Jonathan hold?A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five5．What does he last paragraph imply?A．Trappe can’t sleep worrying about the adventureB．Trappe was born to set world recordsC．Trappe always keeps his ambition in mindD．Trappe never thought of crossing the Atlantic before4.（15分）Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher，and the teacher will ask us some questions．Sometimes，the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class．When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics，remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying．You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends---you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent，waiting to hear what you have to say．You must speak so that they can hear you---loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself．Remember，too，that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you．The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease but the situation is somewhat different from that of a ordinary conversation．You must take special care that you can be heard．1．When you speak to the class，you should speak ______．A．as slowly as possible B．in a low voiceC．loudly D．forcefully2．Usually，when you speak to the class，the class is ______．A．noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious3 The situation in the class is ______ that in your house．A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as4．If you are having a conversation with an official，the most important thing for you is ______．A．to show your ability B．to be very gentleC．to make sure that you can be heard D．to put the official at ease5．The main idea of this passage is ______．A．that we should talk in different ways in different situationsB．that we must speak loudlyC．that we must keep silent at any timeD．that we must talk with the class5.（15分）You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time．Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood？Impossible！Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negativeperson is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible．Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．1．The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______．A．make a comparison B．offer an evidenceC．introduce a topic D．describe a daily scene2．How can negative people have effect on us？A．By influencing our emotion．B．By telling us the nature of life．C．By changing our ways of thinking．D．By comparing their attitudes to life with ours．3．Some negative people base their happiness on ______．A．other people’s pity for them B．making other people unhappy C．building up a positive attitude D．other people’s respect for them 4．According to the passage，to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ______．A．change negative people’s attitudes to lifeB．show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC．make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD．communicate with negative people as little as possible5．What is the author’s attitude towards negative people？A．Favorable．B．Critical．C．Indifferent．D．Supportive．三、语法填空（本题共计1小题，总分20分）6.（20分）Every four years, millions of people

AAfter two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list.The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1678)A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose makes this the English classic.Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)A great work tha t’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart.”Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.Emma by Jane Austen (1816)Jane Austen's Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel - a classic adventure story with supernatural elements - has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.1.

Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start nowOur own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are andcontinues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.4. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to .A. Your life style.B. Your life value.C. Your trouble in life.D. Your life experience.5. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.B.

Trying your best to help the poor.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraphA. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.B. Much more progress will be made in the near future.C. The work on health is the most valuable experience.D. People’s efforts have been mate rially rewarded.CIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages(香肠) and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make herfeel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the f lower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.8. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.10. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “___________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited11. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing MomentDDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and theelephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear(矛) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elep hant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.12. The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.A. heavyB. thinC. tallD. strong13. The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to _______.A. your left handB. your right handC. the waterD. the bowl14. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. People’s wrong ideas.B. People’s different experience.C. Simple facts are different sometimes.D. People often disagree with each other.15. It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.A. learn from the blind menB. not agree about simple factsC. never think about simple factsD. never decide anything with one side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。

高二上学期期末考试(英语)试题含答案
高二上学期期末考试（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分37.5分）1.（7.5分）Beijing Imperial Court Food(宫廷菜)Imperial Court Food is a style of food with origins in the Imperial Palace and it is well-known for the original features of the raw materials and carefully selected ingredients. In addition, the dishes are decorated with different colored vegetables and fruits in various shapes. Each dish has a special name, such as Yu Feng Huan Chao. Today, Imperial Court Food has become an important school of Chinese cooking with several places offering this special taste.

So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation.Under the Velib scheme (“Velib” comes from vélo liberté, or “bicycle freedom”) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, “These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle―they'll still use their cars.”A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too. ”（1）.What can we know about the Velib scheme?A.Its bikes have no baskets.B.Its bikes are light and colorful.C.It aims to make traveling easier.D.It owns more stations than the subway.（2）.How much should you pay for using a Velib for 40 minutes?A.€1B.€ 29.C.€ 30.D.No money.（3）.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?A.The cost is rather high.B.It`s hard to find a Velib station.C.It's not suitable for a long journey.D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.（4）.What s the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Uncaring.D.Worried.3.（10分）Researchers at Harvard Medical School have confirmed that people who suffer a heart attack when there is a marathon taking place nearby have a 15 percent higher chance of dying within the next month than if the event strikes on a non-race day.They found that, despite the group of emergency services personnel usually present along the 26.2-mile route, the traffic is often so blocked up by road closures that key minutes are lost getting patients to hospital.“When it comes to treating people in the pain of a heart attack, minutes do matter―heart muscle dies quickly during a heart attack,” said Dr Anupam Jena, who led the research.Previous studies have examined death rates among marathon runners to assess the cardiac(心脏的) risks of endurance training. This is believed to be the first research analyzing impact of such races on those living nearby.The investigators examined 10 years' worth of patient records analyzing death rates among older Americans, 65 years of age and over, within 30 days of having a heart attack or a cardiac arrest(心脏停搏) near a major marathon.Death rates among patients hospitalised on the day of the race were compared with those hospitalised five weeks prior or five weeks after the race, and researchers also compared death rates among people living close to the event and those living in areas unaffected by street closures.“When cities host big marathons, or when people participate in races, they don't think that there might be a chance that a person not taking part in the race could die because of the event,” said Jena.（1）.What did the scientists find from the research?A.Marathon races do harm to the players.B.Major marathons see many athletes die.C.Most people suffer a heart attack during races.D.Marathon increases the chances of heart attack death.（2）.What can we learn about the research trom paragraph 4?A.It is hard to avoid dying during marathon races.B.Treatment is usually absent during a heart attack.C.It is a research on effect of marathons on nearby people.D.It is suggested that people should give up marathons.（3）.What may people think of the result of the research from the text?A.Astonishing.B.Regretful.mon.D.Coincidental.（4）.Where is the text most probably from?A.Local sports games.B.Science and technology.C.Health and medicine.D.Environment and energy.4.（10分）A recent study suggests that vitamin D pills can help speed up the time taken for burns to heal, and prevent scarring(结疤). The vitamin, which is produced naturally in the body when the skin is exposed to sunshine, is believed to help protect against burning.Previous studies have shown that vitamin D pills help decrease redness and swelling after sunburn, and may be one of the reasons why the body produces the chemical.The research from Birmingham University, has found they may also help relieve other types of burn. Researchers monitored 38 patients who had suffered serious burns for a year and recorded their levels of vitamin D. They found that those with the highest levels of vitamin D had better wound healing and fewer scars.Professor Janet Lord said:“Low vitamin D levels were associated with worse results in burn patients including life-threatening infections(感染), death and delayed wound healing. Major burn injury severely reduces vitamin D levels and adding this vitamin back may be a simple, safe and cost-effective way to improve the condition for burn patients.”Professor Lord and her team are now focusing on finding out why there is a rapid loss of vitamin D in patients immediately following burn injury and hope that they may be able to prevent this in future.The amount of reduction in patients' vitamin D levels was not related to the severity(严重程度) of the burn, so levels may also be decreased in minor burn injury, suggesting taking vitamin D pills could also help people with everyday burns. Public Health England nowrecommends that all Britons take vitamin D pills in the winter because it is impossible to make sufficient quantities in the darker months.（1）.What does the new study find?A.People with low vitamin D levels get burned easily.B.Vitamin D helps with the recovery from burn injury.C.Vitamin D pills aid in reducing the swelling from burns.D.Vitamin D is more beneficial to serious burns than minor burns.（2）.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.The severity of one's burn reflects his vitamin D levels.B.Vitamin D pills are more needed in the autumn months.C.Burn patients lacking vitamin D are at high risk of infection.D.Minor burns have no effect on patients' vitamin D levels.（3）.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The researchers.B.Vitamin D pills.C.Previous studies.D.Some kinds of vitamins.（4）.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.Vitamin D: A Necessity for Our HealthB.Vitamin D Pills: When Are They Needed?C.Vitamin D: How Much Does the Body Need?D.Vitamin D Pills: Heal Burns &. Prevent Scarring二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分12.5分）5.（12.5分）China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. __1___ Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades, a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government. __2___ The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these success stortes.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s.

And then you began eyeing each other's cups．Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups．They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live．Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us．"God brews the coffee, not the cups．Enjoy your coffee!"The happiest people don't have the best of everything．They just make the most of everything．"Live simply．Love generously．Care deeply．Speak kindly．Leave the rest to God．25．Why did the professor offer his students coffee with varieties of cups?A．To give his students many more choices．B．To teach his students how to enjoy coffee．C．To show the students his collection of cups．D．To tell his students the right attitude to life26．According to the professor, the happiest people are the ones who _____．A．get the best type of coffee cups B．make the best of what they haveC．have a wide range of coffee cups D．care about social status and wealth 27．The best title for the passage would be _____．A．God's Coffee B．The Pressure of LifeC．The Happiest People D．Professor's Coffee CupsWhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smok e cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我消灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you in to trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette —it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (挖苦的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to some day develop a “taste〞 for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.28．What do most people think causes bad behavior?A．Being forced by others. B．Not having enough will power.C．Enjoying their first experiences. D．Following the examples of their friends.29．The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.A．will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB．drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC．self-control should be developed when one is youngD．everyone can be challenged by different temptations30．In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.A．without self-control, no one can succeedB．bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC．applying self-control correctly is importantD．people can develop wisdom from bad behavior31．What does the passage mainly tells about ?A．The Author’s First Sip o f Beer B．Everyone Should Have Will PowerC．Will Power Benefits Us D．Dark Side of Self-controlSome inventions are so useful, but seem so simple, that we wonder why no one thought of them long ago. Post-it Notes, the pieces of paper that you can stick almost anywhere and then remove without leaving any sign that they are there, are an example of such an invention.Post-it Notes were invented about twenty years ago by Art Fry, a scientist at 3M Corporation. The idea for the product came from an upsetting experience he often had while singing in his church choir. Fry used pieces of paper as bookmarks to mark the places in his book of songs, but these bookmarks were always falling out. He knew he needed a bookmark that would stay where he put it, but that he could remove without damaging the pages.Around that time, Fry heard about a new adhesive(粘合剂) that a colleague, Dr. Spence Silver had created. This adhesive was special because it was sticky, but not too sticky. It was strong enough to hold papers together, but weak enough not to tear the paper when it was removed. Fry saw that the new adhesive could help solve his bookmark problem. One morning, Fry put some of the adhesive on the edge of a piece of paper. Just as he hoped, it made a perfect bookmark.A short time later, Fry realized that his new invention had even more uses than being a great bookmark. He came to this realization when he wrote a note on one of his new “bookmarks〞 and attached it to a report he was going to give to a colleague. Soon, co-workers were asking Fry for more sample of his invention so that they could use the new type of notes themselves.Fry and some other people at 3M believed so much in the new product that they persuaded the company to give away thousands of the sticky pieces of paper for trial use. When some salespeople at 3M went to offices and showed workers just how helpful the new type of notes could be, they immediately received many orders. As more and more people discovered how useful Post-it Notes could be, the product took off.32．The invention of Post-it Notes showed that Art Fry _____.A．had a lot of knowledge. B．was very hard-working.C．was good at creative thinking D．loved his job in the church33．In what way did Dr. Spence help Art Fry?A．They worked together and often discussed science.B．His invention of a special adhesive made Art’s invention possible.C．He persuaded 3M Corporation to give away lots of Post-it Notes for trial use.D．He cooperated with Art by providing the new adhesive for Art.34．Which of the following is a possible use of Post-it Notes?A．A note on a friend’s door. B．An e-mail to a friend.C．a postcard from abroad. D．An ad in a newspaper.35．The biggest advantage of Post-it Notes is _____.A．it can stay anywhere and leave no sign when removed.B．it is very cheap to use.C．it is good to write notes onD．it is very thin and beautiful三、完形填空“Everything happens for the best,〞 my mother said whenever I faced __36___. “If you can ___37___ , one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if it were not for that ___38___ disappointment.〞Mother was right, which I ___39____ after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a/an ____40___in radio, then work my __41_____ up to sports announcer.I hitchhiked〔搭便车〕 to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got __42____ every time.In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring ___43_____ persons. “Go out in the sticks and find a ____44___ station that’ll give you a chance,〞 she said.I went home to Dixon, Illinois.

But in an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.Ecotourism, which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages are the main attractions.57．Therefore, some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism.Ecotourism is developing at great speed. According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide.58．They included bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.59．However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resource.Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists. People are attracted to nature and long to be close to it. However, a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.60．.A．The definition of ecotourism is beyond words.B．It takes ecology and culture into consideration.C．You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism〞.D．More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism.E.

Depending on different cultures, smiling can express joy and 62．(amuse), but it can also indicate embarrassment. The following examples show this point of view:In an attempt to be open and 63．(friend), people in the United States smile a lot. Every one smiles at each other and this nonverbal communication shows being polite in the United States. But in China, smiling is not only64．expression of happiness, but also a way to avoid 65．(laugh) at. Chinese people like smiling when they are embarrassed in order to avoid embarrassment. Smiling is a kind of good will but not sneer (嘲笑). For example: When a child66．(fall) off from a bike, the adults in China may smile,67．is a kind of gentle encouragement and may not be a kind of impolite laugh.Related 68．the smile is the laugh. Also, different cultures have different 69．(meaning) about laugh. Americans can enjoy a very heartfelt belly (腹部) laugh that comes from the deepest emotions while most Chinese may think70．silly to laugh that way.六、单词拼写71．Finally they____________(克制)the difficulty by hard work and succeeded.72．I think he is the most charming, most _____________(体贴的)man I have ever seen.73．He was willing to make any ____________(牺牲)for peace.74．Chairman Xi will attend an __________(非正式的) meeting .75．Any creature who p_____________(拥有)one of these rings has great power.76．The book __________ (属于) to him is on the desk.77．There was only one ___________(幸存者) from the plane crash.78．I hope to work with many singers, and I also wish to_________(谱曲) my own music.79．Many of the men were either killed or____________(受伤) by machine gun fire.80．His crazy ideas made him the_____________(靶子)of their jokes.七、短文改错81．假定英语课上教师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。

Yes, it’s not real! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consideration I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my part-time job and my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been laughed at so much at school.
—Danny Glass, Student
1．What does Dr Elisabeth McKenna suggest?
A．Don’t be fooled by “perfection”.
B．Cosmetic surgery often goes wrong.
C．The beauty industry needs improving.
