2019学年下学期期末考试高二英语试题时间:120分钟分值:150分第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(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。

AIn the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or cal ls the students’ parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” they thought.One day, a boy was in Mr Lazares’s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes.” He said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed. After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.Now headmasters all over the USA are trying Mr Lazares’s idea. They, too, think that students behave better when parents come to school.1. What does a headmaster usually do to the student if he behaves very badly?A. Calls the student’s parents.B. Writes to the student’s parents.C. Lets the student stay at school for an hour.D. Stops the student having classes for several days.2. What did Mr Lazares do when his students were not behaving well in class?A. Tried to talk them.B. Sent them homeC. Had them stay in his office.D. Telephoned their parents to come to school and go to classes with them.3.Why did the other students behave better, too?A. They were afraid of teachers.B. They were afraid of Mr Lazares.C. They didn’t want their parents to come to school.D. They didn’t like to have classes with the boy’s father.4.Which is TRUE according to the passage ?A. Mr Lazares had a good way to discipline students.B. Mr Lazares didn’t let the parents leave the school for one or two days.C. Students can behave well if headmasters and teachers discipline them.D. Theteacher can stop the students having the class if they behave very badly.BTaking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.”Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem,jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H.Carson, author of Your Creative Bra in, “a showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation (孵化) period’ for your ideas.”Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.5. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?A. Leading to boredom or tiredness.B. Increasing the level of dopamine.C. Decreasing the level of dopamine.D.Setting the creative part of the brain free.6. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _______.A. one make an important breakthroughB. draw one’s attention to the outside worldC. turn one’s attention inwardsD. many chemical changes to take place7. It can be inferred from the article that _______.A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspectiveB. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspirationC. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new thingsD. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficulttask8. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _______.A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspirationB. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily livesC. point out to readers that it’s hard to find inspirationD. show that creativity often comes from strange placesCWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laugh ing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it’s just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I s tepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved ba ck to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate’s safety seemed admirable. I couldn’t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those momentsto be with her, undisturbed.Since then, I’ve used that butterfly’s courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.9.The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_______.A. to get close to a butterflyB. to escape a sudden attackC. to look over the bad situationD. to avoid getting his shoes dirty10. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _________.A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurtB. paused until the author took a step backwardsC. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mateD. attacked the author for his mate’s safety11. From this experience the man learned_____.A. butterflies are brave insectsB. the small can defeat the largeC. how to deal with challenges in his lifeD. people should try their best to fight for everything12. Which of the fol lowing words can best describe the butterfly?A. CourageousB. ConcernedC. AmbitiousD. AggressiveDWorld health experts warned Thursday that smoking water pipes, long popular in the Middle East and North Africa and with a growing fan base elsewhere, can be more harmful than cigarettes.“A single puff from a water pipe is nearly equal to the volume of smoke taken in from an entire cigarette,” said The Tobacco Atlas launched at the World Conference on Tobacco OR Health in Abu Dhabi. And World Healt h Organization tobacco expert Edouard Tursan Espaignet said “one session of shisha (water pipe) can be equal to smoking 20 to 30 cigarette s in one go, which can be very dangerous.”The water pipe, variously known as a hubbly-bubbly, hookah, shisha or nargileh, has become a major worry for anti-tobacco campaigners as it is popularized across university campuses, overlooked by regulators. The “water pipe has an interestingdesign because it somewhat engages your five senses. You're holding the pipe, there’s something you’re looking at, there is the aroma(芳香), there is the sound of the bub bling and there is this kind of sensational thing with the social gathering.”In social gatherings that last for an average of an hour, the smoker can quickly get hooked on it because of the nicotine.Nicotine is the main cause of lung cancer ,and data also suggest probable associations with oral, esophageal, gastric, and urinary bladder cancer, as well as chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, stroke as well as other illnesses. According to The Tobacco Atlas, “water pipes fall into a less heavily or un-regulated group of tobacco products.” in most countries.“There has been a gap for a while and now hopefully, with this global effort, they (tobacco regulators) are coming back to emphasize the importance of including the water pipe in all these policies and regulations on tobacco,” Zaatari said.And the ruler of the UAE(阿联酋) emirate of Sharjah has banned the use of water pipes altogether, earning him an award this week from the WHO.13 If you take two drags on a water pipe, it is roughly the same as _______ cigarette(s).A. oneB. twoC. twentyD. thirty14. Which is not the attractions of the water pipe?A. The good smellB. The appearanceC. The sense of balanceD. The atmosphere15.We can tell from the passage that __________.A. Some health experts show no attention to the water pipe smoking.B. Somewhat the water pipe has some good effect on serious diseases.C. Some producers of water pipes have taken steps to regulate their production.D. Tough as things are, a few countries have learned the severity.第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

2019学年第二学期期末考试高二年级英语试题第I卷(选择题共70分)第一部分:阅读理解(共二节,满分40分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns , previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.1. According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?A. London’s Chinatown.B. Bangkok’s Chinatown.C. Mauritius’s Chinatown.D. San Francisco’s Chinatown.2. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A. It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B. It is well-known for its gold business.C. It was the major entrance for the Chinese.D. It is where you can enjoy fireworks.3. If you want to enjoy the Dragon Dances, you can go to ______.A. Rue Royale in Port Louis, Mauritius.B. the Sunday market in Bangkok.C. the Grant Avenue in San Francisco.D. the Chinese community in London.BI once had an unforgettable experience that has influenced and directed the way I think and act now.When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but th e waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said thoughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle to be sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsibl e for both.”That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.4. The author’s grandfather took him/her to the fish pond to_______.A. go fishing togetherB. teach him/her a meaningful truth of lifeC. play a fun game with the authorD. correct his/her wrong doings5.What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience?A. We cannot control our feelings that disturb othersB. We shouldn’t keep in touch with other people.C. What we think and do can influence others’ lives.D. It’s difficult to keep a good relationship with other people.6. The author would probably agree that we should________.A. send our anger to other peopleB. share our happiness with other peopleC. complain about the misfortune in our livesD. hide our feelings and never express them to others7.What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts.B. To indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience.C. To recall the experience of fishing.D. To tell people to create beauty and harmony.CMusic is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing, and many more.There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but it’s just their own opinions.Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded because they’re exposed to different people like the artists.People can use music to express themselves in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art.You can usually tell how someone feels by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts and shows to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you. 8.What can we know about music according to the first paragraph?A. All people like listening to music in some way.B. Preference for music varies from person to person.C. There are four kinds of impact music can bring about.D. Different types of music have the same impact on people.9.People are likely to become friends because of ________.A. the same taste of musicB. the good impact of musicC. the attraction of different ideasD. the arguments about music style10.Music can serve as a motivation for new ideas by ________.A. giving listeners controversial lyricsB. setting up role models like the artistsC. opening listeners’ mind to new thoughtsD. impressing listeners with familiar images11.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The music you listen to shows how you feel.B. Music expresses oneself better than behavior.C. The music one listens to determines his or her feelings.D. Music is tool to make different people become friends.Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increasesin blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.12. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It can do harm to people's health.C. It is usually practiced deliberately.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.13. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.A. affect your blood pressure.B. resist gravity effectively.C. lead to heart attacks easily.D. improve the function of legs.14. In the t hird paragraph “pins and needles” probably means______.A. being highly flexible.B. being a little tired.C. serious muscle injuries.D. slight sharp pains.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habitsB. To evaluate effects of an experiment.C. To give readers some advice.D. To introduce research methods.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。

On Tuesday 22 May.BWhen 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金会),nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make –A –Wish could , because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia to listen to what she had to say.Sophia told us that Make – A –Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. ” It’s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make – A –Wish help child ren feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.We asked Sophia how Make – A –Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true ----so, with everybody’s help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. ” when people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too , and that was the beginning of Make – A –Wish, ” explained Sophia.Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time.A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can4. Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had__________ .A. volunteered to help itB. benefited from itC. dreamed about itD. told the author about it5. According to Sophia, Make-A-Wish ____________ .A. raises money for very poor familiesB. was understood by nobody at firstC. is an international charityD. started by drawing the interest of the public6. What is said about Chris in Paragraph3?A .He has been a policeman since he was sevenB .He wanted people to help make his dream come trueC.

They provide what is necessary to make Make-A-Wish popularB. They try to help children get over their illnessesC. They visit sick children to make them feel specialD. They are important for making wishes come trueCWe live in a digital world now, and a student’s technology needs have changed. For the early years, when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it’s a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make –especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it’s a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones. Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. IPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your children’s education? May be they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educatorfor 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jo kes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”8. According to author, primary school children should___.A.Use the computer and the Internet regularlyB.Ask their parents to buy them cell-phonesC.Buy iPods to listen to music D.Go to libraries to read more books9. Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?A.They want their children to be cool.B.They think cell-phones be helpful to their studyC They want to keep in touch with their children.D.They want their children to keep up to date.10 .The following are all reasons why many teachers dislike cell-phones EXCEPT ____.A.Cell-phones can be used to cheat on examsB.Schoolchildren will send messages during classC.Cell-phones can be used to record lessonsD.Schoolchildren might talk on them during class11.What does the underlined word “that” refers to?A.IPods can be used to listen to music. B.iPods can be helpful for children’s education. C.IPods can be used to play games. D.iPods are necessary for children’s lives.12. We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _____.A.Cell-phones are not useful to studentsB.Teacher s should let students use cell-phonesC.it’s better for teachers to change their teaching methodsD.schoolchildren should follow the trends(潮流) of fashion题DHere comes a story that many years ago a man arrived at a village in India to catch monkeys so he could sell them to zoos.The monkeys,however,were very clever and every sort of trap he set failed.A young boy watched the man's pathetic efforts and laughed.The man said,"If you can catch me a monkey,I'll give you﹩2.That was a huge amount of money then.The boy went to his home and took a clay pot with a narrow neck.He placed a few nuts around the pot and put lots of nuts inside.He then tied the pot to a tree and told the man,"We should have a rest in a few hours.Let's wait in the village.The monkey will call us when he is ready."Certainly enough,a band of monkeys soon discovered the nuts and the pot.One slipped his hand in the pot and grabbed a handful of nuts,but he couldn't pull his hand out of the narrow opening of the pot because his fist(拳头) was clenched.The monkey feared and started making loud noises.Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.The boy and the man heard the noises and the boy got a big strong bag.As they approached the monkeys they all ran away except the one with its hand in the pot.The boy grabbed the monkey and the pot.The man was amazed and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap,"Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so hard to get it out?"The boy laughed and said,"The monkey could have easily got his hand back out and escaped,but he would have had to let go of the nuts in the pot and he just wasn't willing to let go.They never are."What lessons can be learned from this story?Do people sometimes trap themselves by holding onto things that they should let go?Do you?13.Why couldn't the monkey pull his hand out of the pot?The reason lies in __________A.the pot's neck was too narrow B.the monkey wouldn't let go of the nutsC.the monkey's fist was too big D.the nuts in the pot were too delicious14.Which of the statement is NOT true according to the story?A.The boy just played a trick on the man.B.The monkeys were too clever to be trapped.C.The boy was helpful.D.The boy could ask for﹩2 from the man.15.What might be the best title of this passage?A.the monkey and the boy B.the boy and the potC.the monkey and the pot D.the man and the pot.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.4. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up5. What does the phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek help6. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager ______.A. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone with friendsD. to answer the phone quickly7. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.CLast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as hewas. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of her.9. When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel .A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe10. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkativeC. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.11. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to .A. the author’s sonB. the author’s fatherC. the friend of the author’s fatherD. the café ownerDOur “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christi e looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldomclose to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once duri ng our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and awa y with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得到)to be an only child at least once in a while.12. What is the text mainly about?A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.13. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.A. happyB. curiousC. regretfulD. friendly14. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. The daughter acts like a leader.B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The boys become better followers.D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.15. The author seems to believe that ___________.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. it’s tiring to look after three childrenC. every child needs parents’ full attentionD. parents should watch others’ children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。

I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it had slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she'd forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn't an option. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom, I told her she was running my future and everything I worked for. But she held her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic.Falling down makes us better, because we learn how to get up.5. Why did the author shout at her mother?A. She was tired after walking home.B. She missed some important tests.C. Her mother had ruined her future.D. Her mother didn't pick her up home.6. What does the underlined phrase "held her ground" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Gave in to me.B. Said yes to me.C. Stayed in the place.D. Stuck to her decision.7. How does the author feel about her experience now?A. MercifulB. BeneficialC. DisappointedD. Embarrassed8. What is the best title for the text?A. Try to meet your kids' demands.B. Offer your kids help if necessary.C. Stop rescuing your kids from failure.D. Be responsible for your kids failure.CNaturally, parents praise their kids. They want to encourage their children every day. But when it comes to building self-esteem (自尊) in children, praise doesn't always have a positive effect, according to a special edition of the journal Child Development. The issue, edited by Eddie and Thomas, is focused on rese arch into how children develop a sense of self and building your child’s confidence takes different skills than you might think.Eddie points out that children are born without a sense of self, but it doesn’t take long before some kids have a lot of confidence and may feel superior to peers, while others may carry more self-doubt and see themselves as inferior." Yet no one really understands what causes children to view themselves the way they do. Surprisingly little is known about the origins of child ren’s self-concept," Eddie said.Research has found that when kids have a warm, loving relationship with their parents, they develop higher self-esteem. However, when they are given endless praise that is unequal to their achievements, their self-esteem may drop.Instead of lavish praise, parents should focus on warmth to build self-esteem, researchers have found—specifically, parents should show interest in their kids’ activities and share joy with them. This makes children feel noticed and value d. According to Eddie’s own research, children may develop lower self-esteem when their parents give them lots of positive and overstated praises. Too much praise can make children worry about disappointing their parents, and may lead to an unhealthy attitude toward failure. Other studies suggest that parents can teach children that failure is beneficial by encouraging kids to ask themselves, “Why didn’t I achieve the result I wanted, and what can I do to change the outcome in the future?”Additionally, it’s important for parents to encourage the belief that kids can develop basic abilities through devotion and hard work. Kids who are praised for their effort instead of their abilityare more likely to develop a growth mindset, which have a positive impact on their confidence.9. What does the special edition of Child Development focus on?A. When is the best time to build a child’s self-esteem.B. What effect praise has on a child’s self understanding.C. How children develop their sense of self-esteem.D. How blaming and overpraise hurt a child’s confidence.10. How does too much praise hurt children’s self-esteem?A. They’ll be afraid of failing and disappointing their parents.B. They’ll have a false understanding of their ability an d fail.C. They’ll become too proud to get along with other children.D. They’ll focus more on their advantages than their weaknesses.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Children’s effort will help to build their confidence.B. Children should he taught the value of hard work.C. Praising a child’s ability will make them happier.D. Some parents doubt if kids can develop their abilities.12. Which of the following is the passage mainly about?A. Praising a child for any reason helps build his self-esteem.B. How kids develop their sense of self-esteem differently.C. Why some kids have more self-doubt than the others.D. Participation and encouragement build a kid’s self-esteem.DThe Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who noted the 80/20 connection while at the University of Lausanne in 1896, as published in his first paper. Essentially, Pareto showed that approximately 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. It is an axiom of business management that “80% of sales come from 20% of clients”.Richard Koch authored the book, The 80/20 Principle, which illustrated some practical applications of the Pareto principle in business management and life. Mathematically, the 80/20 rule is roughlyfollowed by a power law distribution, also known as a Pareto distribution, for a particular set of parameters, and many natural phenomena have been shown empirically to exhibit such a distribution. The Pareto principle is only tangentially related to Pareto efficiency. Pareto developed both concepts in the context of the distribution of income and wealth among the population.The original observation was in connection with population and wealth. Pareto noticed that 80% of It aly’s land was owned by 20% of the population. He then carried out surveys on a variety of other countries and found to his surprise that a similar distribution applied. A chart that gave the inequality a very visible and comprehensible form, the so-called “champagne glass” effect, was contained in the 1992 United Nations Development Program Report, which showed that distribution of global income is very uneven, with the richest 20% of the world’s population controlling 82.7% of the world’s income.In computer science the Pareto principle can be applied to optimization efforts. For example, Microsoft noted that by fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs, 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system would be eliminated. Lowell Arthur expre ssed that “20 percent of the code has 80 percent of the errors. Find them, fix them!”It was also discovered that in general the 80% of a certain piece of software can be written in 20% of the total allocated time. Conversely, the hardest 20% of the code takes 80% of the time. This factor is usually a part of COCOMO estimating for software coding. In load testing, it is also common practice to estimate that 80% of the traffic will occur during a particular 20% of the total time period.It has been inferred the Pareto principle applies to athletic training, where roughly 20% of the exercises and habits have 80% of the impact and the trainee should not focus so much on a varied training. This does not necessarily mean that having a healthy diet or going to the gym are not important, but they are not as significant as the key activities. It is also important to note this 80/20 rule has yet to be scientifically tested in controlled studies with regards to athletic training. In baseball, the Pareto principle has been observed in Wins Above Replacement, an attempt to combine multiple statistics to determine a player’s overall importance to a team.“15% of the all the players last year produced 85% of the total wins with the other 85% of the players creating 15% of the wins. The Pareto Principle holds up pretty soundly when it is applied to baseball...”13. What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?A. ruleB. legendC. conclusionD. imagination14. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Richard Koch discovered the 80/20 Principle and authored a book named after the Principle.B. Pareto noticed that 80% of world's land was owned by 20% of the population.C. Fixing the top 20% of the most-reported bugs may not eliminate 80% of the related errors and crashes in a given system.D. Having a healthy diet or going to the gym are not as important as the key activities in athletic training.15. The author wrote this article .A. to introduce those famous scientists who contribute to the 80/20 PrincipleB. to look back the history of the 80/20 PrincipleC. to introduce the applications of the 80/20 PrincipleD. to draw people’s attention to the 20% important things in various areas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。

)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

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 an 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 that’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.21. Which English book has got the most translations before the 20th century?A. Tom Jones.B. Gulliver’s Travels.C. Robinson Crusoe.D. Emma.22. What does Samuel Johnson think we can learn about from the book Clarissa?A. A love story.B. Quarrels in a family.C. The spirits of the time.D. The human heart.23. What makes the characters in Tom Jones famous?A. Their representation of the society.B. Their different nationalities.C. Their typical spirits of the age.D. Their classic lifestyles.BI felt like I had clicked my heels three times and come to a country away from home every morning as I walked through the doors at the Embassy of Australia in Washington. Musical Aussie accents and Aboriginal art exhibits made me wonder if I had entered without a visa. In fact I was a temporary employee, a public affairs unpaid intern(实习生)for three months during the summer in order to engage myself in the culture of the country where I planned to study the next spring.During the summer I read the Australian news every day. Working at the embassy allowed me to escape the US for six hours per day and learn about what was going on across the planet. After reading the daily Australian and US news I usually helped prepare a PowerPoint presentation for school kids who visited the embassy as part of a school activity. Depending on whether an embassy event was going on, I would attend weekly meetings to listen to planning and see what I could do to help. Usually there were smaller tasks to be done such as creating visitors’ guides.The most fantastic event in which I participated was the visit of the Australian Prime Minister. As the only American among countless Australian media and staff, I felt comfortable and was kept busy taking pictures and recording doorstop interviews at famous sites such as the Capitol. As an intern, you will not be exposed to top-secret information, but you are on the inside when it comes to special events.Government work is a useful addition to one’s experience. As an embassy employee you will gain invaluable knowledge while spending your summer in a culturally diverse workplace.24. What is the author talking about?A. Her foreign culture experience.B. Her trouble in finding a job.C. Her embassy internship.D. Her preparation for future employment.25. Why was the author in the Embassy of Australia for three months?A. To apply for a visa.B. To record musical Aussie accents.C. To prepare to study in Australia.D. To appreciate Aboriginal art exhibits.26. What was the author forbidden to do when the Australian Prime Minister visited America?A. Record doorstop interviews.B. Stand among the Australian staff.C. Take pictures of special events.D. Know top-secret information.27. What can we infer about the author’s d aily routine at the Embassy?A. It is tiring.B. It is exciting.C. It is boring.D. It is relaxing.CDespite being used by 1.34 billion people each year, traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely.One citizen, however, is trying to change this. “You get on the Tube and it’s completely silent and it’s weird,”says Jonathan Dunne, who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges( 徽章 ) with the words “Tube cha t?” last month, encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another. “I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million, expecting most of them to be thrown away, but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed,” he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK, as well as countless websites, newspaper and magazine appearances.Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback, not everyone agrees with his idea. Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own, handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson, 24, a student from London, agrees. “Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work. It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you,” he says.“People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t, but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to,” Du nne says.So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you? Just make sure to check for a badge first.28. How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?A. By offering passengers special badges.B. By advocating his idea on the media.C. By putting up posters on the tube.D. By starting a dialogue with passengers.29. How is Dunne’s campaign getting along?A. It has become a worldwide campaign.B. It has caught international attention.C. Most passengers have refused to accept it.D. Wilson has made great efforts to promote it.30. According to Michael Robinson, what should tube passengers do?A. Enjoy the peace quietly.B. Walk up and talk to strangers.C. Stop using public transport.D. Hand in their feedback in time.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Tube Passengers Wearing BadgesB. Lonely Travel in the London TubeC. Silence on the TubeD. Tube Chat or NotDIn ma ny developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don’t. About 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well­educated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity( 长寿 )translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observersthat this change will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners( 领养老金者 )will create government budget problems.Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the better­off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to gain rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the previous generation. Technological change may well reinforce( 强化)that shift: the skills that complement( 补充 )computers, from management know­how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.32.
