AW hen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her goodm ore excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.21.

Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kidsthese days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition,celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation i s a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in a n d what’s out.25.

And if you are a woman, it’s even worse.Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise (妥协). One ends up not marrying the ideal partner.There are, however, a few young people who refuse to compromise: if they can’t find a good marriage partner, they say, they would rather not marry at all.34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English. She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not put pressure on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her togetherwith some young man or another. She always refuses politely.32. Miss Kate refuses to get together with some young man or another because _______.A. he is either too old or too youngB. she doesn’t think he i s the right man she wantsC. he is either important or little learnedD. he do esn’t have good manners33.

In China, one may face social blame and family pressure if one hasn’t got married by the age of 30.B. Miss Kate wants to many a worthy young man.C.

If marriage is regarded as a duty to society, __________.A. nobody will pay attention to whether you are happy or not in your family lifeB. everybody will be happy and satisfiedC. you can easily find an ideal partnerD. young people will have nothing to worry about in marriage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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ATokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.21. Tokyo is different from London in that ____________.A. it has a smaller populationB. it is an international cityC. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in TokyoD. its people are friendlier and more polite.22. What time does the writer think is the worst time to go into the street?A. When the night-clubs are closing.B. At 8 o'clock in the morning.C. When the train is overcrowded.D. At 11:30 a.m.23. What does the writer say about Japanese trains?A. There are not enough trains.B. They are very nice and comfortable.C. They leave and arrive at the right time.D. They often run behind schedule.24. From the writer's observation, we can see that fires break out in Tokyo ____________.A. occasionallyB. quite frequentlyC. not very oftenD. twice a dayBIt was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher(屠夫). And he's going to give you your lunch today.”Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers. But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!25. Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite ____________.A. cruellyB. fairlyC. kindlyD. impatiently26. It seem ed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs. Smith gave it ____________.A. might do it much harmB. could do it much goodC. would help the butcherD. was worth many pounds27. The butcher did not give any meat to the dog ____________.A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. SmithB. when he found that the words on the paper were not clearC. because he had sold out all the meat in his shopD. until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith28. At the end of the story, you'll find that ____________.A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paperB. the dog dared not go to the butcher's any moreC. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dogD. the butcher found himself cheatedCTeam building games can be fun for teenagers. They can also be tools for strengthening the group. There are many levels of team building exercises. Let’s look at some activities that can help you build a stronger team.Pass the ClapPass the Clap works well as a beginning activity to help your group get to know each other. Have the participants stand in a circle. One person starts the clap and then turns to face the person next to him. As they are about to make eye contact, they clap together. That next person now has the clap and he has to pass it on. Continue to pass the clap around the circle.Blindfolded BirthdayBlindfolded Birthday works well after people have become a little more familiar with each other. Everyone puts on a blindfold. Then, without talking, they have to line up in order of birthdays.Two Truths and a LieTwo truths and a Lie can be played anytime in the group’s operations. Have the participants sit in a circle. Each person is supposed to tell two truths and a lie about themselves. The group has to guess which is the lie.Human KnotHuman Knot is an activity best played after your group has gotten quite familiar with each other, because there can be a lot of touching going on. Everyone gathers in a circle. They put their right hands in the middle of the circle. They grab someone else’s hand. Then the left hands go in the middle and they grab someone else’s hand. The group is now knotted up. The object of Human Knot is to untie the group without letting go of any hands.29. Pass the Clap is most helpful for ____________.A. starting relationshipsB. rebuilding relationshipsC. welcoming close friendsD. celebrating some events30. When playing Human Knot, ____________.A. the participants shouldn’t see each o therB. everyone should grab two people’s handsC. everyone should tell their birthday to othersD. the participants shouldn’t have any body contact31. Which game is suitable for both strangers and familiars?A. Pass the Clap.B. Blindfolded Birthday.C. Two Truths and a LieD. Human KnotDFor many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size.I i magined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.Many people with weight problems also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We fantasize(幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Different cultures have different standards (标准) of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.32. The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.A. body sizeB. different beauty standardsC. culture differenceD. attitudes towards life33. What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?A. The whole worldB. All the problemsC. All the dreamsD. All the truth34. What can be inferred about the author?A. The author is a Samoan.B. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.C. The author succeeded in losing weight.D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.35. Which of the following statements is true?A. One’s happiness is determined by a person’s weight.B. Not all countries take being thin as the standard of beauty.C. It’s entirely wrong to care about whether a person is fat or not.D. Once a person loses weight, he/she won’t gain back the weight easily.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。

辽宁省实验中学分校2015---2016学年度下学期期末测试英语学科高二年级本试卷分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）第I卷第一部分听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ABorrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularlyfor a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.Banks favor established-business people with a solid credit rating and a largebank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter,and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans.If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convincethe banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital（资金）. If your businessis new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay themoney they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When askedhow much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses:“How much money can I get?” and “As much as possible.” Is it any wonder thatlenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.21. By saying “Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle”,the writer emphasizes______.A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importance of borrowing moneyC. the difficulty of getting a bank loanD. the start-up of a new small business22. Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.A. are in need of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large businessD. haven't borrowed moneybefore23. Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.A. the form they fill in is incompleteB. their products are not techni cally advancedC. the amount of money they want to borrow is too bigD. they have no clear idea of how much they need t o borrow24. The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should____.A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. learn a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loansBA new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon whensmokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancerpatient staring back at them from the packet.Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sex y. Their friends won’t agreewhen they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Unionannounced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damagecigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictureson packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the specialpackets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, likebad skin, are also on the list.“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the messagewe should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefullythese pictures will sh ock students out of their love for cigarettes.”The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current writtenwarnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings in cluded “smoking kills” and“smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has usedsimilar picture s and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country hasrecently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is thesingle biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokersdie, more than one person a minute.25. Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?A. Because it is easier to understand.B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.26. The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.A. young smokersB. smokers in Ireland and BelgiumC. all smokersD. young smokers’ friends27. What can we learn from the passage?A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.B. Ma ny smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.CEvery small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket,and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum - found her again in the sea off the Azores.Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed（猛力推）its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly（寒冷的）waters.But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.He said: “We had be en following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the lo ngest time.”“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location（回声定位）clicks of the adults.”“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surface. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’females had just resurfaced and the calf quite l iterally began jumping for joy.”Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.Sperm whal es live in nearly all the world’s oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.28. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.A. the whalesB. the diversC. the photosD. the mothers29. According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.A.found its family with his helpB.suffered a lot in the cold watersC.lost contact with its family for daysD.slammed as a means of communication30. What do we know about sperm whales?A.The young are independent.B.They are highly social animals.C.They te nd to live in warm sea waters.D.Females take turns to care for babies.31. What would be the best title for the text?A.Baby whales perform slamming with joyB.Sperm whales ---fairly intelligent animalsC.Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its familyD. Slamming--- a way of communication among whalesDFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few---for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密) between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common ---they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.” It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors a nd hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two perso ns. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.32. According to the author, ____.A.all those who get on well with each other are friendsB.friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD.every student has 6 friends33. In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ____.ing the same frequency while takingB.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD.having the same background34. Which of the following is not implied in the passage?A.Even friends may have differences of opinion.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.35. To strengthen friendly relationship, people ____.A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to eliminate(消除) differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences andemotions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。

AMy husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.One of us was always in Ollie's hospital room--either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.”Gwen was Bruce's wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.“I don't want to leave you, dad, ” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen. ”Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes, ”he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know. ” A few days later, around 2 p. m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It's a boy, ” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called, ”she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o' clock. ”Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.22. Why did Ollie want Bruce to be with Gwen?A. Ollie didn't want his son to be absent when his baby was born.B. Ollie wanted Bruce to bring the baby along as soon as it was born.C. Ollie thought it was too much trouble for Bruce to stay at hospital.D. Ollie couldn't bear his son seeing him dying with a broken heart.23. The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .A. DisappointedlyB. ImmediatelyC. ExcitedlyD. Unwillingly24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Ollie and his wife had planned to settle in Florida.B. Ollie cared for his son more than his daughter.C. Ollie died happy and in peace.D. Ollie was sad about not being able to see his first grandchild.BSorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine ”, says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind.Merzenich has developed a computer---based training method to speed up the process in which the brain deals with information. Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy.Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. “It’s a bit like tennis instructor,” says Merzenich , “hitting balls at you faster and faster to keep you challenged. You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick.”The biggest finding in brain research in last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process.To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language...... “When it comes to preventing aging, you really do “do it or lose it”, says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University.25.Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________.A. the information being dealt withB. computer languagesC. the activities one joins inD. speech training27. What can we learn from the text?A. Practice makes a quick mindB. Brain research started ten years ago.C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computerD. People used to believe nothing could stop the brain slowing down.28. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea?A. The training methods work better for the oldB. The training of the brain should start at an early ageC. People should use the brain to stop it from aging.D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible.CDuring my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing tothe Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries.When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like . Studying was something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own college ,I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus atmosphere instead of two.My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!29．Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores?A．He had a gift for dance..B．He wanted to go to community collegeC．He was well prepared for the exam.D．He believed his brother would help him.30．When in high school, the author .A．buried himself in his study all the timeB．lived in the school except on holidaysC．enjoyed talking about future college lifeD．drove to and from class every day31．What did the author’s brother mean by “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.”? A．He advised the author to value the years.B．He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.C．He wished the author to have more dance.D．He suggested the author aim at a community college.32．Talking of his high school years, the author feels .A．Lonely B． regretful C．angry D．pleasedDTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have createdfascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum（钟摆）and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the diff erence remarked, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured tune could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older．Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewh ere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The unfamiliarity of the journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasion can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads（小珠子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To fight this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time. Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.33. The quotation（引用语） in the first paragraph is used to indicate ______.A. physical time is different from psychological timeB. time should not be measured by a pendulumC. psychological time is quite puzzlingD. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It gives various explanations about time.B. It explains why time flies fast and how to slow it down psychologically.C. It shows the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time.D. It describes how we experience time psychologically.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。

AThe writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ” .Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.21. The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A. first published on a newspaperB. awarded ten Academy AwardsC. written in “The Dump”D. adapted from a movie22. The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to____.A. be very pleased withB. show great respect forC. be much taller thanD. show little interest in23. Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?A. Because she was rich enough.B. Because she was injured then.C. Because her husband didn’t like it.D. Because she wanted to write books.24. We can know about Margaret Mitchell from the passage that _________.A. her height made her marriage unhappy知识改变命运B. her interest in writing continued as an adultC. writing stopped her working as a reporterD. her life was full of hardship and sadnessBWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.25. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.26. This text is mainly the relationship between _________.A. Americans and the FrenchB. life style and obesityC. children and adultsD. fast food and overweight27. The text is mainly developed __________.A. by comparisonB. by spaceC. by processD. by classification(分类)28. Where does this text probably come from?A. A TV interviewB. A food advertisementC. A health reportD. A book reviewCHow to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “This is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.”Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external (外部的) factor.知识改变命运I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her, and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get our hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.29. According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life __________.A. doesn’t need improvingB. will be better somedayC. couldn’t be improvedD. will be worse in the future30. Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts.C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat your friends.31. In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of __________.A. positive thinkingB. positive actionC. hope for the bestD. intention to succeed32. The text is mainly written to advise you to __________.A. understand yourselfB. change your normal wayC. believe in yourselfD. improve your lifeDWhat to do if a fire starts?Imagine it’s late at night. You hear the smoke detectors go off. You smell smoke when you wake up. Do you know what to do?If a fire starts in your home, remember your escape plan and leave as quickly as possible.知识改变命运Keep the following things in mind to make a safe escape.●Call“Fire!”to warn everyone in your family.●If you know where the fire is, close as many doors as possible between you and the fire.●If you’re in bed, roll out of bed and onto the floor. Crawl on the floor next to a wall. Being near the ground makes it easier to breathe. If possible, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth.●Feel the entire surface of a door before you open it. If the door is warm or hot, do not open it. The fire is probably right outside your room. Find another way to leave the room. If the door is cool, open it a little.●Look out and try to see the fire. If it is safe, leave the room. Remember to stay on the floor.●If your clothes catch fire, stop immediately. Drop to the ground and roll. Remember：Stop, drop and roll.●Call the fi re department from outside and wait for help to arrive.33．What is the first thing you should do if a fire starts in your home?A．Call the fire departmentB．Call“Fire”to warn your family members.C．Collect your favorite belongings to save from the burning house.D．Have a white sheet from a window to let the fire department know where to go. 34．What should you do if a fire starts and you are in bed?A．Jump out of bed and run away.B．Roll out of bed and stand on the floor.C．Stay in bed and then jump out of the window.D．Roll out of bed and onto the floor.35．What is not true according to the passage?A．Never go back into a burning building.B．If your clothes catch fire, stop immediately.C．You should call the fire department before you leave the burning building.D．Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth if possible.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。

AWhen Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well.

ABorrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularlyfor a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.Banks favor established-business people with a solid credit rating and a largebank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter,and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans.If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convincethe banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital（资金）. If your businessis new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay themoney they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When askedhow much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses:“How much money can I get?” and “As much as possible.” Is it any wonder thatlenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.21. By saying “Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle”,the writer emphasizes______.A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importance of borrowing moneyC. the difficulty of getting a bank loanD. the start-up of a new small business22. Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.A. are in need of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large businessD. haven't borrowed moneybefore23. Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.A. the form they fill in is incompleteB. their products are not techni cally advancedC. the amount of money they want to borrow is too bigD. they have no clear idea of how much they need t o borrow24. The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should____.A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. learn a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loansBA new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon whensmokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancerpatient staring back at them from the packet.Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sex y. Their friends won’t agreewhen they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Unionannounced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damagecigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictureson packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the specialpackets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, likebad skin, are also on the list.“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the messagewe should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefullythese pictures will sh ock students out of their love for cigarettes.”The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current writtenwarnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings in cluded “smoking kills” and“smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has usedsimilar picture s and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country hasrecently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is thesingle biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokersdie, more than one person a minute.25. Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?A. Because it is easier to understand.B. Because it shows both dangers and effects.C. Because it can be seen by the smokers’ friends.D. Because it is more powerful to catch attention.26. The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.A. young smokersB. smokers in Ireland and BelgiumC. all smokersD. young smokers’ friends27. What can we learn from the passage?A. Canada has been the first to use the EU’s “weapon”.B. Many smokers don’t quite believe the written warnings.C. The new form of warning has already proved to work.D. Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.CEvery small child knows the panic of losing sight of its mother in the supermarket,and as these delightful pictures show, small whales obviously feel the same way.Taken by a British diver who was following the sperm whale(抹香鲸) calf, they show the minute the baby - who had lost track of its mum - found her again in the sea off the Azores.Soaring 30ft across the waves, the newborn slammed（猛力推）its body onto the water with joy after becoming separated from its family group in the chilly（寒冷的）waters.But the whale calf was doing more than just jumping for joy.British biologist and dive guide Justin Hart, 44, who took the pictures, says that young whales communicate with older ones in the ocean by creating a slamming sound which travels through the water to the ears of the adults deep below.By leaping out of the water and slamming its 12ft long body onto the surface of the sea up to 30 times, the baby whale is telling its relatives where it is so they can regroup.He said: “We h ad be en following the sperm whale calf for most of the day. Sperm whales, of all the whales and dolphins, are the species that dive the deepest and for the lo ngest time.”“The calves have to follow what’s going on below them from the surface as best they can probably listening to the echo location（回声定位）clicks of the adults.”“However, sometimes the adults re-surface far out of sight of the calf, and in this situation the whales often leap out of the water causing a large bang as their bodies hit the surfa ce. In this way, the whale family could regroup.”He added: “When I took the photo, two adults’females had just resurfaced and the calf quite l iterally began jumping for joy.”Mr. Hart captured the rare image four miles from the port of Lajes do Pico while he was working as a crewman on an underwater documentary with special license to film sperm whales in the area.Sperm whal es live in nearly all the world’s oceans in groups of about 15 to 20 animals and they practice communal(集体的) childcare. The calves do not have to follow their mother too closely as sperm whales can take milk from any milk-producing female in its social group.28. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refers to _____.A. the whalesB. the diversC. the photosD. the mothers29. According to Justin Hart, the young sperm whale ____.A.found its family with his helpB.suffered a lot in the cold watersC.lost contact with its family for daysD.slammed as a means of communication30. What do we know about sperm whales?A.The young are independent.B.They are highly social animals.C.They te nd to live in warm sea waters.D.Females take turns to care for babies.31. What would be the best title for the text?A.Baby whales perform slamming with joyB.Sperm whales ---fairly intelligent animalsC.Lost sperm whale baby reunited with its familyD. Slamming--- a way of communication among whalesDFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few---for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密) between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common ---they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.” It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors a nd hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two perso ns. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.32. According to the author, ____.A.all those who get on well with each other are friendsB.friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD.every student has 6 friends33. In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ____.ing the same frequency while takingB.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD.having the same background34. Which of the following is not implied in the passage?A.Even friends may have differences of opinion.B.Friends never argue with each other.C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.35. To strengthen friendly relationship, people ____.A.must hold friendship ceremoniesB.have to eliminate(消除) differences in backgroundC.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD.should support and understand each other through shared experiences andemotions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。

2015-2016学年辽宁省实验中学分校上学期阶段性测试英语试卷（解析版）注意事项：1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I卷（选择题）一、阅读理解(A．B．C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
For many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.Many people with weight problems also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We fantasize(幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Different cultures have different standards (标准) of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.1.The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.A. body sizeB. different beauty standardsC. culture differenceD. attitudes towards life2.What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?A. The whole world.B. All the problems.C. All the dreams.D. All the truth.3.What can be inferred about the author?A. The author is a Samoan.B. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.C. The author succeeded in losing weight.D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.4.Which of the following statements is true?A. One’s happiness is determined by a person’s weight.B. Not all countries take being thin as the standard of beauty.C. It’s entirely wrong to care about whether a person is fat or not.D. Once a person loses weight, he/she won’t gain back the weight easily.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。

After three years behind the bars, she was released. Only a few years later, she was given a sentence far worse—she had an incurable and progressive disorder and would be totally blind. Meanwhile, Grace was also happily pregnant but terrified she would never see her child’s face. She believed she would succeed as a mother, although “success” had never been in her vocabulary before. She managed well despite fading vision.For years she kept consulting specialists about her eye problems, only to be told that her son would also be blind by the time he was a teenager. She swore to find something, anything, to prevent him from facing her fate. When conventional medicine offered no hope, Grace began a personal quest. She entered a local college. The office for disabled students had her reading assignments put on cassette tapes so that she could listen and learn. She began studying anatomy, physiology and other health sciences. Everyone knowing her was astonished at her persistence to educate herself, restore her vision and keep focused on raising a son who would have perfect eyesight.Eventually Grace’s own way worked and she earned the Ph. D. in Holistic Health for her successful work in improving serious eye disorder. Her eyesight slowly improved so much that she was able to qualify for a driving license. Even better, her son had perfect vision and was accepted into the Air Force.21. From the passage we can know that Grace used to be _______.A. aggressiveB. troublesomeC. ignorantD. competitive22. How did Grace regain her eyesight?A. By following the treatment from specialists.B. By just trying what was taught in the local college.C. By practicing the principles sought by herself.D.

Her determination to earn the Ph. D.24. The underlined word “quest”in Paragraph 2 probably means “___________”.A. adventureB. professionC. harvestD. searchBInstagram is a fast，beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family．Take a picture or video，choose a filter to transform its look and feel．and then post to Instagram—it's that easy．You can even share to Facebook．Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world．So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-uprestaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too．“The Picture House”is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s ad diction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and lnstagram it．The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s“Food f o r Life”campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food．“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way．Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses．Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there，not by what they eat．25．Instagram probably is______．A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of“Food for Life’’C．a program used to share photos D．a new marketing project26．What’s the author’s attitude to this ne w trend?A．Confused B．Unconcerned C．Opposed D．Interested27．“The Picture House”encourages sharing photos of its food to_____．A．raise the price of frozen food B．attract more customersC．create a new social media trend D．reward the regular customers28．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A．Pay by Picture B．The Pop-up DinerC．No Need to Pay D．Food for LifeCBLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓)REGISTRA TION“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and th ey rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.—Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断)with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血)every 4—6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry.

On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. AsMrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what a nswer I’d got for problem No.14.“I...I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.32.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value one’s time.B. It is important to make an effortC. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.33.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always.A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions34.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because.A. the class didn’t begin as usualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he didn’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs.Totten didn’t start from the back of the class35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB.A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD.A Valuable Lesson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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AAn artist in Bogota, Colombia is using his skills to aid the homeless. Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own.

ALarry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.Larry’s first expedition without his f ather was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry did not even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.21. In what way was this expedition different for Larry?A.

brushing them?Never fear:An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush,and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas thisweek.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(don’ t forget the insides of the teeth!)and make sure you’re brushing long enough.“It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,”says Thomas Serval,the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone,so developers could,for instance,create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth.“We try to make it smart but also fun,”Serval says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said“yes,”but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer,for $99 to $199,depending on features.The U.S.is the first target market.Serval says that one day,it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.29.Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.B.It can track users’ school performance.C.It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.D.It can help users find their phones.30.What can we

perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.33.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can.A.write more notesB.digest concepts betterC.get higher scoresD.understand lectures better34.While taking notes,laptop users tend to be.A.skillfulB.mindlessC.thoughtfulD.tireless35.The passage is likely to appear in.A.a newspaper advertisementB.a computer textbookC.a science magazineD.a finance report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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
