However, not all the p ersons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened b y the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织）cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝）can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.56. The passage is mainly about ______ .A. air pollutionB. water pollutionC. noise pollutionD. world pollution57. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can makepeople deaf.A. less than 85B. less than 65C. about 65D. more than 8558. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .A. they are working in noisy placesB. they often listen to pop musicC. they live near airportsD. they are too busy to listen to others’talk59. The government of China is trying to reduce ______.A. only the air pollutionB. only the air and water pollutionC. only the water pollutionD. the air, water and noise pollutionBThese days, if you still think the cellphone is just for talking, you will get laughed at. Y es, it’s true, voice-only handsets have become out of date. Today’s do-it-all mobiles have a lot in common with the computer. The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minutes to use them. Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year:Surf at speedCellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years. So, what’s new? Well, faster third-generation(3G) net works let you surf at anywhere. This then allows a carrier to send video, music, and games to your phone. Possible choices are from LG Electronic VX 8000 and Motorola V 1150.Listen as you goThe problem with most cellphone MP3 players is that they hold only a handful of songs. But, that’s about to change. Sony Ericsson’s new W800i can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory. And Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 even comes with a 1.5 GB hard drive. Mobile phones may eventually replace mini-MP3 players, especially for teens.Say cheeseCamera cellphones are not new either. But, most of them have limitations: around 1-megapixel(百万像素). But new technology has made 2-megapixel units more common and 3-megapixel units are showing up soon. Some 2-megapixel models, like Sony Ericsson’s K750i, offer limited zoom and focus controls. Others, like LG’srecent MMA7110, can even capture 30 minutes of full- motion video.Portable TVY ou say you like ―watching TV‖? That’s what Sumsung MM-A700 wants to give you. The new model lets users watch popular TV programs—for a fee. Other choices are Nokia’s 6620, Sanyo’s MM 7400 and NEC’s N940.The NEC model lets you watch public TV—no fee.The above are just a handful of what you will see in the coming months. Further down the road, your mobile phone may play a host of other roles, such as mobile credit card, position locator… So what is there that a cellphone can’t do?60.Which of the following models should you choose to listen to the music?A.Sumsung’s SPH-V5400 and Nokia’s 6620B.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and Sumsung’s SPH-V5400C.Sony Ericsson’s W800i and NEC’s N940D.Sanyo’s MM7400 and NEC’s N94061.What’s the difference between NEC’s N940 and other models?A.It allows you to surf the Internet at a high speedB.It can capture 30 minutes of full-motion videoC.It can hold as many as 150 songsD.It lets you watch public TV for free62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.All the functions of the models mentioned in the passage are completely newB.Camera cellphones of 3-megapixel units will appear soon.C.It is certain that a cellphone can do anything in the near futureD.Today’s do-it-all mobiles have nothing in common with the computer63.This passage may be___.A.an instruction to some new models of cellphonesB.an advertisement trying to persuade you to buy new cellphonesC. a science fiction trying to attract readers’ attentionD. a survey to find the development of cellphones.CWithout proper training, dogs will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroying your belongings, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfect normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at wrong thing.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it’s the foundation for solving just about any problems. Training opens us a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social order. When your dogs obeys a simple request of ―Come here, sit‖, it is showing obedience and respect for you.. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群) by using extreme measures. Y ou can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to accept that youare in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.64.Behavior problems of dogs are believed to___.A. get worse in modern societyB. occur only when they go wildC. be just part of their natureD. present a threat to society65.The primary purpose of obedience training is____.A.to enable the dog to regain its normal behaviorB.to make the dog aware of its owner’s authority（权威）C.to teach the dog to perform tricksD.to teach the dog to serve its owner66.Effective communication between a dog and its owner is___.A. an extreme measure in obedience trainingB. a good way to teach the dog new tricksC. the foundation for dogs to perform tasksD. essential(必不可少的) to solve the dog’s behavior problem67.Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A. to show their willingness to obeyB. to show their affection for their mastersC. to avoid being punishedD.to win leadership of the dog packDThe young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民) camp playing with an empty tin. Other children were standing around watching him withenvious eyes.Envy? Of an empty tin?This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash-----it was a splendid truck, complete with wheels and grille(铁棚) and floor. The vehicle even had remote control, a frayed piece of string from the ―engine‖ to the hand of the owner.The tin had lost all its original markings. But its first load had probably been sardine. Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic, and the boy had found it on one of his daily expeditions into the ―big world‖.For thousands of refugee children, a tin like this rates high on their list o f wants. It can be used for many purposes, as jewellery, as a toy, for drinking or asa medicine box.Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present.They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted.Maybe a book to read, or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own.Their imagination can create toys, but it can’t create books. Someone else must provide them. A more costly and valuable gift they can’t imagine.68.Other children envied the young boy because the boy .A.had a real truck toyB.got some sardines to eatC.received a handful of marblesD.had something to play with69. What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?A.The society should donate some toys for the refugee childrenB.The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creativeC.The society should offer the refugee children things for studyD.The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative70. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.An Enviable Toy PresentB. A Splendid TruckC.Sardine Tin------A Precious ToyD. A Poor Refugee CampEHave you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? Y ou probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.―On the contrary,‖says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, ―daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day---. Y ou can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues.‖Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, ―We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures---. Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.‖Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.Daydreams cannot be predicted: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.71. The writer of this passage considers daydreams __________.A. hard to understandB. important and helpfulC. harmful and unimportantD. the same as sleep dreams72. The writer quoted L. Giambra and Eric Klinges to ________.A. point out the wrong ideas of early expertsB. list out two different ideasC. support his own ideasD. report the latest research on daydreams73. Which of the following is true?A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creations.C. Professor Eric Klinges has a better idea than L. Gimabra.D. Early experts didn’t understand what daydreams were.74. Experts now believe that ________.A. daydreams cause some mental illnessB. daydreams are not easy to control and directC. the more daydreams you have, the more you’ll achieve.D. people fear as long for daydreams75. What is the difference between daydreams and sleep dreams?A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that ofconscious mindC. Daydreams are easy to understand.D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.第二卷（共25分）第一节根据首字母提示，写出下列句中所缺单词（每小题1分，满分10分）1. Billy crystal is my favourite stand-up c___________.2.

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4．What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A．attached B．combinedC．fixed D．repaired5．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A．The design and color.B．The reasonable price.C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D．The company’s advertisement.6．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B．To describe the process of making shoes.C．To advertise a new kind of shoes.D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.（8分）CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶).One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was，"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ，at least.’’One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.7．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.B．Its aging.C．Its manner.D．Its leaking. 8．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A．Dirty.B．Dark.C．Worn out.D．Ordinary-looking.9．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．take pity on the old one B．laugh at the old oneC．show off its good look D．praise the gardener's kindness10．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep a balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it had its own advantage.D．Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）二：七选五（每小题2分，满分10分）When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11．Take extra Vitamin D．Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression.

高二12月月考(英语)试题含答案
高二12月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分30分）1.（6分）AA famous magazine, Amusement Today, does a survey among parks lovers every year both in the US and overseas, based on which, “Top 5 List of the Best Amusement Parks in the World” has come out as follows:Disneyland, CaliforniaDisneyland is a theme park in Anaheim, California, the US. More than 515 million guests have traveled to this American landmark from around the world since the park first opened to guests on July 17, 1955. The park consists of many world-famous sections, such as Main Street, Adventure land, New Orleans Square, and so on.Magic Kingdom, Disney World, FloridaMagic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando opened on October 1, 1971. It is the most famous theme park in Florida. The park’s design and attractions don’t make much difference from Disneyland Park in Anaheim.EPCOT, Disney World, FloridaEPCOT is the second theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida. The park opened on October 1, 1982, and was named EPCOT Center from 1982 to 1993. It was the largest Disney theme park in the world until 1998, when Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened.Disney-MGM Studios, FloridaMGM’s streets are the home for some great movie-themed attractions with a history of less than 30years. With the addition of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Rock and Roller Coaster, the park is now home to Disney World’s most thrilling rides.Universal Studios, FloridaGo behind the scenes, beyond the screen and jump right into the action of your favoritemovies at Universal Studios, the number one movie and TV theme park in the world. 1．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To attract tourists to these theme parks.B．To introduce world’s best amusement parks.C．To increase the sales of Amusement Today.D．To compare attractions in different theme parks.2．Which of the following theme parks have similar attractions?A．Disneyland & Universal Studios.B．EPCOT & Disney-MGM Studios.C．Disneyland & Magic Kingdom.D．Magic Kingdom & Universal Studios.3．Which park has the longest history?A．Disneyland, California.B．Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Florida.C．EPCOT, Disney World, Florida.D．Disney-MGM Studios, Florida.2.（8分）BIf you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts toa dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” timesince you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky. 4．The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.A．escape in time of emergencyB．take a short breakC．create a comfortable atmosphereD．enjoy themselves5．Which of the following is true according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A．Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B．Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C．Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D．It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.6．What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?A．Slowing down the landing.B．Adjusting the plane lights.C．Keeping passengers calm.D．Helping the crew judge outside risks.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A tip to make air travel safer.B．An emergency event happening on a plane.C．An explanation of an airline safety measure.D．A warning message from the pilot.3.（8分）CHundreds of villagers took matters into their own hands by digging miles of trenches（沟壕）to install their own cables(电缆). The tiny village in Michaelston-y-Fedw, with a populationof 300, clubbed together after being unable to download films, stream music or connect to online banking. Farmers, teachers and even the village pub owners put in thousands of hours of volunteering to dig miles of trenches and now have super fast broadband(宽带).The project cost around ￡250,000 with villagers paying￡150,000 of their own money to secure their super fast connection speed. They were also able to obtain￡100,000 from EU funding and the Welsh Government Access Broadband Cymru scheme.The idea was produced in the local pub when villagers were complaining about their Wi-Fi connections. Ben Longman, owner of the Cefn Mably Arms, said, “We were in the pub and we were all complaining about how bad the Wi-Fi was. I had just paid for high speed broadband and realized it would not work.”One of the organizers, Carina Dunk, 61, said it was fantastic what the village had achieved. She said, “It used to take a few days to download a film; now it takes less than a minute. Communities have tended to be more distant and separated but not here anymore. Sometimes we have to take a step back and achieve something.”A year after the project, most of the 300 villagers are now united in a 1,000mps broadband connection.However, Richard Raybould, 59, is still waiting for his house to be connected on the edge of the village and said he cannot wait. He said, “It is amazing what skills people in the community have. There are experts and farmers who dig trenches. I have met at least 30 people who I had never spoken to before.”8．What can we learn about the villagers?A．They had no access to the Internet.B．They usually didn’t have much free time.C．They didn’t know how to use the Internet correctly.D．They considered their Internet connection disappointing.9．To have their own cables, the villagers had to_______.A．partly cover the costB．employ workers to dig trenchesC．donate ￡100,000 to EU fundingD．get the local government’s permission10．What does the author intend to do by mentioning Carina Dunk’s words?A．Explain the cause of the project.B．Explain the process of the project.C．Show the benefits from the project.D．Show the villagers’ attitudes toward the project.11．What would be the best title for the text?A．Villagers obtain access to the InternetB．Villagers dream of super fast broadbandC．Villagers volunteer to install super fast broadbandD．Villagers are suffering from bad Wi-Fi connections4.（8分）DWhy are photos and videos of cats high-fiving suddenly popping up on social media?Ask Jackson Galaxy, who launched Cat Pawsitive last year, a program that encourages animal shelters to teach cats how to do tricks to make them more attractive for adoption.The idea is simple. A kitty that can sit on command or give a high five shows that it can listen to instructions and connect with others. A high five can make a shy cat open up, Galaxy said.“Big life changes can lead to cats losing their confidence, and we help those cats to feel more confident and to feel safe interacting with new people.” Christie Rogero, program manager for Cat Pawsitive, said.And Stephen Holdeman, training manager at the KC Pet Project, added: “All we need to train a cat to do tricks is the right amount of patience, timing and motivation.” He uses a technique called “operant conditioning (操作性条件反射)”, which associates a cat’s action with getting a reward such as a favorite food or treat.He also uses a clicker—a training device that makes a clicking noise. “In the initial stage, we get the cat used to the idea that when it hears the sound of the clicker, one of its favorite treats appears. After we have bridged these two ideas together we can use the clicker to reinforce different actions the cat does to let it know that if it repeats the action, it will get a treat.”After several repetitions, the cat starts to link everything together. Now all you need to do is let your extended hand be the target, and we’ve got a high five.12．According to the text, how can learning tricks benefit cats at animal shelters?A．It is a good way for shelters to raise money.B．It allows them to pick up skills to stay safe.C．It helps them interact more with each other.D．It helps them build confidence and get adopted.13．According to the text, what should be done from the start to train cats to learn tricks? A．Teaching them different actions.B．Teaching them how to use a clicker.C．Making them patient enough to repeat actions.D．Helping them connect the sound of a clicker with treats.14．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．record B．strengthenC．ignore D．reward15．What is the main purpose of the article?A．To explain how to train cats to perform tricks.B．To show how cats are treated at animal shelters.C．To describe the popularity of cats on social media.D．To inform us of a program that trains cats to do tricks.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的A-G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He would listen and then say either “Yes”or “No.”There were never any qualifiers; not “Yes, but be home by dinner” or “No, unless you can convince me otherwise.” It was yes or no, plain and simple.My father’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl. I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I came into contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, “Dad! Did anyone call?” His answer, of course, was simply, “Yes.” I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: “A boy.”Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in gener al and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed.

Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun —after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.* Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.* Applying to School. On , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications (申请) and links to many more.* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions (录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find theright course for better scores.* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson .

Literally it is a home for you to stay when you are not home. To be specific, home-stay provides foreign language students with the opportunity to speak native language outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a local home. Here is what you will experience in our British Home-stay Program. What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre (Zone 1) as much of central Londonis commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer smaller accommodation in a more crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.Meal Plans Available◆Continental Breakfast◆Breakfast and Dinner◆Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee. FriendsIf you wish to inv ite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary home-stay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.51. The passage is probably written for ________.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travelers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying to live in English homes52. Which of the following will the host provide?A. Medical care.B. Room cleaning.C. Free transport.D. Physical training.53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Zone 3 is more crowded than Zone 2.B. The business centre of London is in Zone 2.C. Hosts dislike traveling to the city centre.D. Zone 1 offers bigger accommodation.54. According to the passage, what does continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Fruit and vegetables.C. Bread and fruit juice.D. Fruit and cold meat.55. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.DInvented in Turkey and patented by Nanopool, a German company, the spray-on liquid glass might become one of the most useful inventions in the field of nanotechnology. The product was tested at the Saarbrücken Institute for New Materials.It is worth mentioning that the invention is transparent and non-poisonous. The liquid glass can protect any type of surface from damages caused by water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. Besides, it is flexible and breathable, which means that the liquid glass can be applied on plants and seeds as well. Researchers found that the spray greatly increases the resistance of plants to bacteria-caused diseases. The trials also showed that the sprayed seeds grew faster.Depending on the type of surface that is to be covered, researchers can add water or ethanol to the spray. Scientists say that their latest invention has a long-lasting anti-bacterial effect. The spray produces a coating that is just 100nm thick. Trials by food processing plants in Germany have concluded that foods covered with the glass can store longer than those stored in normal condition.According to Neil McClelland, UK project manager with Nanopool, due to its capabilities, the spray-on liquid glass can become one of the most useful inventions around the world, ending up being used by a lot of industries that will cover their products. At present, the invention is being used by a train company and a hotel chain in the UK, as well as a hamburger chain in Germany that are carrying out tests of the liquid glass for various uses.The spray-on liquid glass was also tested in a Lancashire hospital, where it showed “very promising”results, being used to cover medical equipment and bandages. The invention could be also used on clothing, because it cannot be seen by the naked eye, thus clothes could become stain resistant. Due to its unique characteristics, the liquid glass can be used to cover bathrooms, sinks and many other surfaces in the home. According to the researchers, the spay-on glass can last for a year. It is expected to hit the DIY stores across Britain at a price of 5 pounds.6. Which of the following about the liquid glass is NOT true?A. We can still see an object clearly covered with the liquid.B. It will cause plants to have some kind of disease.C. Plants still have access to oxygen when covered by it.D. It can speed up the growth of seeds.57. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A. Water or ethanol must be added to the spray to produce the effect.B. The coating of the spray-on liquid is thick.C. The liquid glass can protect foods from bacteria.D. The long-lasting anti-bacterial effect protects the liquid glass.58. According to Neil McClelland, the spray-on liquid glass _________.A. are being tested by some industriesB. are being used by various companiesC. can be eaten together with hamburgersD. are widely used by train companies59. The writer’s attitude towards the application of the new liquid glass is _________.A. pessimisticB. doubtfulC. cautiousD. optimistic60. What can be inferred from the passage?A. We don’t have to wash our clothes with the new invention.B. The liquid glass can be used to wash yourself in the bathroom.C. The DIY stores will not welcome the liquid glass.D. The liquid glass will be widely used in many fields.三、书面表达（共两小节，50分）第一节单词短语(单词每空1分，句型转换每空0.5分，共10分)61. An a ________________ country is always ready to start a war.62. The keys are here.

According to a study whichwas published on March 16 in the journal PLOS Genetics, people who live in a placewith warm and moist conditions commonly have wider noses while those that live in cold and dry locations have narrower noses.Mark Shriver, a geneticist and anthropologist（人类学家)at Pennsylvania State University, together with his team of international researchers from the United States,Ireland and Belgium, measured and compared noses across populations using 3D facial imaging.The study is not the first one to identify the relationship between nose shape and air temperature and moisture content. However, it is the first one to use nose measurement from actual people.“Many people have tested the question with measurements of the skull, but no one had done measurements on live people, " said lead author Mark Shriver from Pennsylvania State University.As reported by Science Recorder, all in all, faces of 476 from four geographical locations —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe were used in the study. However, their ancestry genetic measurements were also taken into consideration.The researchers concluded that while the differences in nose shape were indeed inluenced by genetie drift, which refers to the change in frequency of certain genes due to deaths and movement of people across borders,natural selection also played its role.Narrower nasalpassages assist in increasing the moisture content of air and warm it.Since peopl e with narrower ones adapted better,they survived more and therefore produced more offspring. As such,there is a gradual decrease in people with wider nose in the area.24.People in the South of China generally tend to________.A.have wider noseB.have narrower noseC.be more easygoingD.enjoy dry and cold weather25.How did Marker's researchers do their research?A.By studying the skulls.B.By doing research online.C.By measuring noses of the people.D.By offering more moisture for people26.Which of the following can influence nose shapes?A.Body height.B.Local tradition.C.Local climateD.Body weight.27.What are people with narrow nose able to do?A.Raise more of their children.B.Adapt to cold weather better.C.Survive in hot weather conditionsD.Keep their ancestry from their parents.8.（8分） CKannisto and her six sons visited a local barber' s shop to have their hair cut and donatedit to an organization that provides hair replaeements for kids with medically related hair loss.Kannisto has a l0-year-old son, Andre, 8-year-old twin sons, 5-year old triplets and a 2-year-old daughter.Kannisto said the motivation behind the haircuts was personal for the whole family.“Three years ago, my friend lost her son to cancer, " she said.“He was a twin and very close in age to my twins. On the first anniversary of his passing. my three oldest boys donated theirhair in his memory. Since their donation two years ago, our lives have continued to be touched by cancer. It's everywhere. My boys want to help, and donating their hair is how they do it.”Her three oldest sons participated in donating for the first time in 2015.The donation afew days ago marked the first time her triplets were able to contribute. Kannisto said they waited until everyone’s hair reached the minimum length for donations before they all got their haircuts. It took quite some time for everyone to be ready.Andre grew his hair out for a year, the twins grew their hair for almost two years and the triplets grew their hair for five years. They're already planning their next donation, too, since their little sister wants to participate.Her hair wasn't long enough to donate this time.She said her sons had been teased a lot for their long hair since they decided to grow it outand donate it. They explain the process of hair donation to their peers, but some of them just don't get it. Luckily, her sons have developed “a thick skin” and ignore the criticism,knowing they 're helping others in need.Kannisto is “so proud” of her boys and thinks that their mission is“amazing.”28. What does the underlined word “triplets”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Three sons.B.Many relatives.C. Kids with hair loss.D. Children with caneer.29.What is the reason for Kannisto's sons donating their hair?A.Both fame and wealth.B. Their personal cure to cancer.C. Their memory of a lost friend.D. Modeling themselves on their parents.30.Why did the Kannistos have to wait before the donation?A. The little sister's hair was too short.B. Every child's hair grows at different rates.C. It's long before somebody wants their hair.D. They must find a right barber to have their hair cut.31. What is Kannisto's children's attitude towards others'tease?A. Inspired.B. Annoyed.C. Desperate.D. Indifferent.9.（8分）DWhether a single parent or otherwise, bringing up a child can be quite a discouraging experience as well as being a lot of fun. As a parent myself, I wanted my child to have the lifeI never had, so I enrolled my daughter in all types of activities such as dancing, piano lessons，theatre groups and sports acti vities. I had her privately tutored for maths and even looked into private schooling. While all of this is good for developing a child's confidence, it's no guarantee that the child will grow to fit your expectations in later life.In some cases a child may inwardly resent(憎恶)the pressure of being involved in so many things all at once, and become bored over a period of time. One of the best ways toreally encourage your child to do well in life is to be the example for them. Children usually follow in the footsteps of their parents or at least one of them.This is how family businesses are handed down through generations.Believe it or not, the parent is the greatest mentor(导师)and influence in the life of a child. It's interesting to note that they judge their own measure by that of their parents even if they don't get along with them, it takes place unconsciouslyYoung minds will follow their mentors such as parents and teachers.

But if you keep your sense of humor ( 幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.

Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat．Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her “Little Sure Shot”. Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant. Posters (海报) for the show called her the “Champion Markswoman”.During World War One, Annie Oakley wanted to train a group of women volunteers for the army, but the United States did not accept it. She gave American soldiers shooting lessons, and traveled across the country visiting many training camps.

Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said．"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34．Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．1anguage can help brain powerD．1anguage learning and maths study14．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC．a person who can speak two languagesD．an active language learner二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
