Sadly, she went to the holy man and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustar d (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sadness. We will use it to drive the sadness out of your life.” The woman happily went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.She first came to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is it such a place? It is very important to me.”They told her “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place” and began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them recently.The woman said to her self, “I have had misfortune of my own. Who is able to help these poor, unfortunate people?” She stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sadness. But wherever she went, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so involved in other people’s sorrow that finally she forgot about her search for the magical mustard seed, never realizing that it had, in fact, driven the sadness out of her life.【1】Which of the following does the story lead us to believe?A．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.B．Time passed cannot be called back again.C．You can’t feel happy unless compared with others.D．You can’t expect to know the result until you have tried.【2】Instead of sending the woman away, the holy man .A．asked her to help him firstB．tried to comfort her with kind wordsC．asked her to look for a thing that didn’t exist at allD．tried to encourage her by talking with her【3】Leaving the holy man, the woman .A．was full of hope B．was filled with sadnessC．was determined to try again D．became discouraged【4】The best title for the text would be “”.A．A woman’s misfortune B．A nice surpriseC．The holy man’s faith D．Cure for sadness2.Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America.During the 1940’s and the 1950’s, Gwendolyn Brooks used her poems to describe conditions among the poor, racial (种族的) inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her materials through looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment in Chicago, Illinois.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skills and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and poverty (贫穷). Gwendolyn Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” attracted little attention when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult lives of many women are popular among female writers today.【1】Gwendolyn Brooks became world-famous because .A．she was an expert on the language of poetryB．she introduced black culture by writing poemsC．she fought for black rights by writing poemsD．her poems showed the lives of black women【2】Which of the following can we learn from the text?A．Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems focused on black people in Afr ica.B．Winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature was important to Brooks.C．Gwendolyn Brooks used to suffer a lot from drugs.D．Gwendolyn Brooks was very strict with herself.【3】How did Gwendolyn Brooks get ideas for most of her poems?A．By observing life.B．By having talks.C．By reading widely.D．By traveling.【4】We can infer that the book “Annie Allen” mainly deals with .A．family life B．inequality C．adventure D．failure3.In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.When you visit people’s houses, they woul d be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them.You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.【1】The passage mainly talks about ______.A．how to keep diseases from pets B．Canadians have pets as friendsC．how to take good care of pets D．life of the old in Canada【2】Pets are given injections in animal hospitals ______.A．in order to keep them safe B．after being taken homeC．because they carry diseases D．because they are sick【3】The word “bird feeder” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A．a person who gives food to birds B．a container that has food for birds C．something that catches birds D．an animal that eats birds【4】In Canada, children leave their parents when they grow up because ______.A．they don’t love their parents any moreB．they can only find jobs far from their parentsC．their parents’ houses are too smallD．they wouldn’t depend on their parents any more【5】Which of the following is TRUE?A．Peoplebuyanimal foodonlyattheanimalfood stores.B．Pets eat better than people.C．Almost every family has a birdcage(鸟笼) in his house.D．Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.4.History is full of examples of leaders joining together to meet common goals. But rarely have two leaders worked together with such friendship and cooperation as American President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. They both were born in wealthy families and were active in politics for many years. Both men loved the sea and the navy，history and nature.Roosevelt and Churchill first met when they were lower-level officials in World War One. But neither man remembered much about that meeting. However，as they worked together during the Second World War they came to like and trust each other. Roosevelt and Churchill exchanged more than one thousand seven hundred letters and messages during five and a half years. They met many times，at large national gatherings and in private talks. But the closeness of their friendship might be seen best in a story told by one of Roosevelt’s close advisors，Harry Hopkins. Hopkins remembered how Churchill was visiting Roosevelt at the White House one day. Roosevelt went into Churchill’s room in the morning to say hello. But the president was shocked to see Churchill coming from the washing room with no clothes at all. Roosevelt immediately apologized to the British leader for seeing him naked. But Chur chill reportedly said: “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the president of the United States.” And then both men laughed.The United States and Great Britain were only two of several nations that joined together in the war to resist Hitler and his Allies. In January,1942，twenty-six of these nations signed an agreement promising to fight for peace，religious freedom，human rights，and justice. The three major Allies，however，were the most important for the war effort: the United States，Britain，and the Soviet Union. Yet，Churchill and Rooseveltdisagreed about when to attack Hitler in western Europe. And Churchill resisted Roosevelt’s suggestions that Britain give up some of its colonies. But in general，the friendship between Roosevelt and Churchill，and between the United States and Britain led the two nations to cooperate closely.【1】What can be inferred from the passage?A．Roosevelt and Churchill had much in common.B．Roosevelt and Churchill had nothing in common.C．Roosevelt and Churchill had no difference but cooperation.D．Roosevelt and Churchill always joined together to meet common goals.【2】Which of the following about Roosevelt and Churchill is TRUE according to the passage?A．Since World War One they had believed in each other.B．They exchanged just 27 letters and messages per month during the 5.5 years.C．Harry Hopkins never let out the closeness of their friendship.D．Roosevelt and Churchill hadn’t been presidents before World War One.【3】We can know from the passage that________.A．Roosevelt and Churchill did not always agree with each otherB．over two differences between Churchill and Roosevelt were mentionedC．Churchill urged Roosevelt to give up some of its coloniesD．the differences between Roosevelt and Churchill had an effect on their cooperation5.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that gre at job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a luckydog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” that is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.【1】When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he . A．feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to himB．feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelingsC．thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friendD．is sorry that his friends let him down【2】When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!” he is saying that .A．the speaker is just friendlyB．this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”C．the word “dog” should not be used to apply to peopleD．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious【3】This passage tries to tell you how to .A．avoid mistakes about money and friendsB．get an idea of friendly peopleC．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youD．keep people friendly without trusting them【4】The writer suggests that should be trusted.A．everybody B．nobody C．all the people D．not all the people四、其他It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the e of the【1】garden. I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. seems【2】amazing that at my age I am still (健康) enough to cycle 20 kilometers in【3】An afternoon. It’s my b in two weeks’ time and I’ll be 82 years old! I think【4】my long and active life must be to(由于) the healthy life I live.【5】This brings me to the real (原因) for my letter, my dear grandson.【6】Your mother tells me that you started s some time ago and now you find【7】it difficult to give it . Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking【8】and how tough to s . You see, during adolecence【9】I a smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.【10】五、书面表达在班内，同学们就“青少年是否该吸烟”展开了讨论。

But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt orhungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.【1】Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A．they watch TV too often B．they have done too much homeworkC．they have to fulfill too many duties D．teachers are too strict with them【2】By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.A．when everything can be taught at schoolB．when every child can be educatedC．when children are permitted to receive educationD．when children are allowed to do what they wish to【3】The main idea of the passage is that _______.A．parents should leave their children aloneB．kids should have more activities at schoolC．it's time to be more strict with our kidsD．parents should always set a good example to their kids3.Bicy cles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured（had）three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles."I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine."You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride.B．You can improve your bicycle for science research.C．Many inventions are connected with the bicycle.D．Bicycles are the best way to go about【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students.B．Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research.C．Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem.D．Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’【3】The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______. A．make address written B．give up C．work at D．speak at【4】Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT ________.A．making knives sharp B．mixing any kind of drinksC．producing electricity D．operating a machine with its own electricity【5】It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.A．distant areas in the rainforest without electricity.B．the use of his own family to make life easier.C．the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforestsD．enough exercise by pedaling it4.I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened.

During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my 2. I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic.After I graduated from high school, my 3 to be “thin” began to trouble me.I began trying to diet by4 my food. In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 5myself. People around me began to 6 my weight loss. They said with concern, “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was gett ing closer to “ 7 ”. Sadly, I took my physical8 the first important in my life, 9 that it was the way to bee successful and accepted. Then I cut down my 10 more and more, until a 11 day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning and a cup of grapes at night.But my poor 12 began to cause me to lose 13. Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to 14 , but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer 15. What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 16 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the 17 , beginning the long road to my 18 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements…And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality.

Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.StarfallStarfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms. It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.Sesame Street WorkshopKids loveSesame Street, and it is always educational.

I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he wouldsmile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.4. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?A. Generation gap.B. Dad’s failure in business.C. My ignorance of Dad.D. Dad’s absence from the family.5. Which of the following can best describe Dad?A. Gentle but strict.B. Hardworking and caring.C. Cautious and realistic.D. Demanding but patient.6. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday?A. To give her a lesson.B. To follow his old habit.C. To fix their relationship.D. To praise her helpfulness.7. Which saying concludes the text best?A. Yesterday once more.B. Let bygones be bygones.C. Some things never change.D. Like father, like daughter.CYellowstoneNational ParkbecameAmerica's first national park in 1872.

Education is the key to success.CWhen rescuers were called to rescue a “little owl”, they did not expect to find one that was too fat to fly. A concerned citizen first spotted the poor bird lying helplessly. Even Rufus Samkin, whose team then took the team in on Jan.3, believed the bird to be injured. There were no wounds to be found, however, causing experts to believe the female owl was simply too wet to fly.But it was only after a thorough drying-off and complete checkup that they noted the real issue. The rescuers weighed the owl and concluded that she was “simply extremely obese” and couldn’t take off. This additional weight left her unable to fly, though experts began to wonder how she got so fat in the first place. Because it’s rather unusual for wild birds to reach such a state, they decided to keep her a few weeks and monitor her.In the end, the rescuers assessed that it was simply a case of “natural obesity”. December 2019 was quite warm, which meant that there were many insects for the bird to feast upon. Indeed, the owl was discovered in a field that was “filled with field mice” due to the usual climate. “It’s been very mild here, and the owl is able to find foods easily,” Samkin explained. With the sudden food, “she ly ate much and got very fat. She had a lovely time, but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl on a “strict diet” so she could shrink to a more “natural weight”. She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around. In the end, the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight. Hopefully, this owl won’t come upon another feast of field mice—unless she wants another few weeks at the fat camp.8. What did people think happened to the owl at first?A. She was hurt.B.

She was simply extremely strong.10. What made the owl have enough foods?A. The especially warm weather.B. The reducing number of insects.C. The rich fields growing crops.D. The lovely time the bird enjoyed.11. How did the owl loseits weight?A. Going on a diet and exercising.B. Flying in the British countryside.C. Visiting that fat camp again.D. Enjoying her wonderful feast freely.DSaroo Brierley, a 4-year-old boy, livedin ruralIndia. One day, he played with his brother along the rail line and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself alone. So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage (孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book,A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldn’t help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia. He remembered landmarks, but since he didn’t know his town’s name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program. He spent years searching for his hometown in the program’s satellite pictures. In 2011, he came across something familiar. He studied it and realized he was looking at a town’s central business district from a bird’s-eye view. He thought, “On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”—and there it was. “And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”—and there it was. Everything matched!Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child, he saw a lady standing at the entrance. It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says, “My mother came forth and walked forward, and I walked forward, my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank. I just didn’t know what to say, because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true. And here I am, standing in front of her.”12. Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?A. To go back to his home.B. To look for his brother.C. To travel toTasmania.D. To follow a stranger.13. What made it difficult for Brierley to find his hometown?A. The vast area ofIndia.B. The fact that he was nobody then.C. His not remembering the town’s name.D. The distance betweenAustraliaand his hometown.14. How did Brierley find his hometown?A. By studying digital maps.B. By analyzing old pictures.C. By travelling all aroundIndia.D. By spreading his story via his book.15. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Love for MotherB. Union with BrotherC. Memory of HometownD.

2020-2021学年高二英语下学期第一次月考试题 (V)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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Many 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 given the 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 as France and Britain, 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 bee an area of study in modern life.1. From the text we can infer(推断) 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. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly.B. The small bird.C. The bearD. The fox.3. Certain animals change their choice of food when _________.A. the season changesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attracted by different smells4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietRice plants normally grow well in still water. But most will die if they are pletely underwater for more than four days. Now, researchers have identified a gene（基因）that helps rice survive longer underwater. They say the discovery will lead to new kinds of rice plants that can survive flooding, and therefore reach their final aim, ensuring more dependable food supplies.Tests are now being done in Laos, Bangladesh and India. The researchers say experimental rice plants with the gene have survived underwater as long as two weeks. When flooding happens, most kinds of rice plants cannot get enough oxygen, carbon dioxide or sunlight. But the scientists say crop loss depends on several conditions. These include soil conditions and plant age. Others include the amount of time the plant is underwater and the amount of fertilizer（肥料）used on the crop.On a genetic（遗传的）map of rice, the scientists became interested in a group of three genes. They experimented with one of them, a gene known as Sub-One-A. They found that when this gene bees very active, it improves the ability of rice to survive longer when rice is covered by water. They believe it succeeds because it affects the reaction to hormones（荷尔蒙）. They control the ability of a flooded plant to survive. Placing the gene into rice plants that are especially good for conditions in India, researchers say the genetically engineered plants not only survived but also produced good crops.The researchers are now trying to identify all the genes governed by the Sub-One-A gene. Being able to leave water on rice plants for an additional week might also help farmers prevent the growth of weeds. Less weed growth around their crops would mean less need for herbicide（除草剂）chemicals.5. Crop loss depends on all the following conditions EXCEPT _______.A. soil conditions and plant ageB. the amount of water the plant stands inC. the amount of fertilizer used on the cropD. the amount of time the plant is underwater6. What is the final aim of this research?A. To identify the gene that helps rice survive underwater.B. To increase the ability of rice to fight against floods.C. To help farmers spend less time removing weeds.D. To make sure of enough food supplies.7. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Genes.B. The experiments.C. Genetically engineered plants.D. Hormones.8. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Rice research is going on in Laos and IndiaB. How to reduce the influence of floods on riceC. Gene researchers work on flood-resistant riceD. A great discovery in the agricultural fieldBuying insurance is a way in which people can protect themselves against large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance pany. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance pany will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it had collected.The first modem fire insurance pany was formed in London in the 1740s. A great fire had just destroyed most of the city and people wanted protection against further losses. The first pany grew rapidly. Some other panies were founded in other areas.Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance pany in America in 1752, and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.Later on another new insurance pany was started in America. This pany, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.Over the years, insurance panies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover from such accidents as car and plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.9. The first fire insurance pany was founded ____.A. in EnglandB. in 1740C. in AmericaD. in 175210. We can lean from the passage that ____.A. the first modem fire insurance pany was founded before a great fire in LondonB. in America, farmers have protection against the loss of crops from storms if they buy insuranceC. fire insurance will prevent people’s homes from burningD. life insurance was started in London, England11. Insurance means protection against ____.A. the loss of car and plane crashesB. the loss of fireC. the loss of lifeD. losses of many kinds of accidents12. The best title for this passage is ____.A. Protection for EveryoneB. The First Fire Insurance panyC. The Founder of the Insurance panyD. Life InsuranceDAccording to U. S. research，you can add seven and a half years to your life just by being happy!Supporting this claim is Laurie Hayes，Life Strategy Coach from Ontario，Canada，who has been working with people who have recognized this missing element in their lives and want to take corrective action towards a more meaningful，balanced existence.“Some people believe that by earning more money，working longer hours，and taking on more and more responsibility，they will somehow re ap big benefits that will inthe end guarantee happiness. Unfortunately that just isn't the case，and research has now proven that the more fortable life bees，the more discontented and unfulfilled we bee.”Incredibly，professional men and women polled in a recent study were rated to be unhappiest of all. Most attributed work pressures，the need to achieve，family responsibilities，social pressures，and busy lifestyles. Ms. Hayes says people often wait so long to do anything about these feelings that by the time they e to her they are out of order，overwhelmed，feeling heavy and isolated，and that it's only through supportive，strategic life coaching they are able to learn how to live，laugh，and dream again.Coaching used to be intended for toplevel executives，movie stars and large corporations，but is now being sought after by average，everyday people seeking positive life change. Already mainstream in the U. S.，it is still relatively new in Canada.“I know personally what it's like to live without real happiness. I experienced it years ago，learned a valuable lesson and now I want to do my bit to help others realize that they too can find happiness.” Thankfully，real happiness is attainable and doesn't have to e at the expense of something else. As a matter of fact，the source might be so close to us that we can't even see it！The secr et of extended life might be right under our noses，only waiting to be discovered! 13.“The secret of extended life might be right under our noses，only waiting to be discovered！”means ________.A. real happiness is attainable and doesn't have to e at the expense of something elseB. real happiness is very important，but we all miss itC. extended life is easy to gain for life strategy coach，such as Ms. HayesD. you can add seven and a half years to your life just by being happy14.
