But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air& Space Museum’s first annual Great Paper AirplaneProject Fly-Off in March 2012.“The purpose of the competition is to inspire and draw kids’interest in science and flight,”says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the museum.About 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then set to work designing their own planes.Arturo designed and built his airplane. When hen was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo’s Desert Eagle.Later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona desert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a second try. This time, the helicopter managed to raise it to 2700 feet and then set the plane free.Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 seconds before falling to pieces.“I felt happy but sad,” Arturo says, “ It flew really well, but it was sad to see it destroyed.”But that wasn’t the end of Arturo’s Desert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Museum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.36. According to the text, the Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off competition _______A. has been held many timesB. can only be entered by kidsC. is to choose the largest planeD. is held by a team of designers37. The underlined word ”outdistancing” in Para 4 means ________A. looking forB. believing inC. throwing awayD. leaving behind38. What do we know about the paper airplane Arturo built?A. It flew the highestB. It flew for 20 minutesC. It flew more than 75 feetD. it took him eight hours to build39. In the end, Arturo’s Desert Eagle ______A. was made into a helicopterB. was produced in many placesC. was sold to a team of engineersD. was put on show in the museumBJoe is interested in getting exercise and competing on a team.

However, Martha was very honest about the food. She did not just describe the food. She judged the taste and health of the food.Martha also began to use her blog for an important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food food for children in schools for free. Martha encouraged her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.But then, Martha began to have a problem. Many people read her blog. She became big news. The news stories showed that the food at Martha’s school was not always healthy. And that made some people angry. So the school officials decided to stop Martha’s blog. They said that she could not take her camera to school.But an amazing thing happened. Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet. Martha’s story was even bigger than before. Now the officials had to change their minds. A few days later, Martha was again writing her blog. But more than that, people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children. Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 10,000 dollars and still kept on growing!Martha’s blog also helped to improve meals at her school. One day she wrote: As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want.No one knows what will happen to Martha’s blog in future. But already this little girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing on the Internet pictures of her school meals.43. Martha wrote about her school meals on her blog to ______A. invite students to judge the foodB. show the terrible taste of foodC. express her opinion about the foodD. ask the school t improve the food44. The organization Mary’s Meals _______A. was set up by MarthaB. provides free school mealsC. is an international organizationD. help poor families build kitchens45. Why did the school officials want to prevent Martha writing her blog?A. It had a bad influence on her study.B. Some people were upset by it content.C. Taking pictures needs a lot of time.D. Many other students started to copy her.46. What’s the best title for the text?A. School mealsB. Mary’s MealsC. Power of the InternetD. Martha shares her foodDKids at the Interlake School Division were the first Canadian students to take part in a program to send experiments to the International Space Station.(ISS).Jordan Schott and three other sixth grade students came up with the idea to test royal jelly(蜂王浆) in space . Their experiment came very close to be tested on the space station. “We were seeing if we could send it to space, and if it would lose its nutritional value” faster and or slower, ”said Schott. Schott is one of the 18 students in the Space Knights Club at Woodlands Elementary School, part of the Interlake School Division. Over 450 students from the Division took part in the program.“I thought we were just students and we couldn’t do much in the way of that. It’s a way to communicate with people up there ,” said Braeden Clark, a seventh grade student who is also in the club.The astronauts shared what they learned with their school with a full day of activities all about science and space.Teacher Maria Nickel is the organizer of the club. She said the day was great for students to learn what they could do. “Space is one of those great things that get kids excited, but it also gives them the chance to do so much. They can be an astronaut; they can be an engineer, ”She said.The day was held in honour of Chris Hadfield, a Canadian astronaut now in the Internal Space Station. “It gives kids someone more to look up to. Here’s a real hero to look up to who’s doing it all, doing it through education,” said Nickel.Jordan Schott thinks it’s really cool. “To me it seems so cool how people can go up to space, and science is something I’ve always liked,” She said. Schott says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Hadfield and be an astronaut when she gets older.One of the winning experiments in the competition was produced by students from Argyle, Manitoba. It will travel to the space station in the fall of 2013.47. The program at the Interlake School Division________-A. was carried out by 18 students.B. was to test royal jelly in spaceC. was designed to send experiments to the ISSD. allowed the first students to connect with the ISS48. We can infer from the text that Maria Nickel__________-A. thinks it’s cool to live in the ISSB. encourages students to be astronautsC. helps students develop their interest in spaceD. thinks Chris Hadfield sets a good example to the students49. What do we know Jordan Schott?A. She is seventh graderB. She dreams of being an engineerC. She respects Chris Hadfield very muchD. She didn’t like science when she was young50. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Kids carry out experiments for the ISS.B. Winners of competitions travel to the ISS.C. Astronauts do activities together with studentsD. Interlake School Division trains students to be astronauts.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

绝密★启用前吉林一中2013--2014学年度上学期高二期中考试英语测试试卷考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：100分钟；命题人：xxx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）请修改第I 卷的文字说明一、补全短文1. _1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own need s, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through youractions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.A．Young people have a different set of values.B．You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.C．Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.D．Your being values are the character traits （特征，特点）of the ideal person you would like to be.E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 11. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 3Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.Wait for opportunities to appearSeize the moment to act on your goalsHere are things successful people do differentlyNext I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve successYou don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful oneCheck your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalKnowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明二、单项选择3. --Who should be responsible for the accident?--The boss,not the workers.They just carried out the order___________.A.as toldB.as are toldC.as tellingD.as they told4.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bic ycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.1.A.serious ual C.similar mon2.A.Besides B.Instead C.Otherwise D.However3.A.ways B.conditions C.stages D.orders4.A.First uallyC.In generalD.Most importantly5.A.explain B.prove C.show D.see6.A.check B.determine C.correct D.recover7.A.answers B.skills C.explanation rmation8.A.possible B.exact C.real D.special9.A.In other words B.Once in a whileC.First of allD.At this time10.A.look for B.talk to C.agree with D.depend on11.A.discussing B.settling down paring with D.studying12.A.extra B.enough C.several D.countless13.A.secondly B.again C.also D.alone14.A.suggestion B.conclusion C.decision D.discovery15.A.next B.clear C.final D.new16.A.unexpectedly te C.clearly D.often17.A.simple B.different C.quick D.sudden18.A.fortunately B.easily C.clearly D.immediately19.A.clean B.separate C.loosen D.remove20.A.recorded pleted C.tested D.accepted21.

They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（经文）are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）. Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind.Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.A. colorsB. stylesC. materialsD. functions2. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-house flags were flying.3. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.A. a historical eventB. an ancient customC. a religious taleD. a vehicle accident4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-house flags are safer there.B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an upcoming mist ake so we don’t repeat it.Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown.―It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our successes,‖ said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist a t the University of Exeter, ―but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to help us avoid repeating errors.‖The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a computer screen. Then, they weregiven new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. ―By monitoring activity in the brain as it occurs, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism comes into action,‖ Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the computer screen — within 0.1 seconds — before there was time for any conscious consideration.Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes （额叶）, which are associated with complex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an ―early warning signal‖ from a lower region of the brain.1. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.B. Brain manages information in different ways.C. Study has found why people make mistakes.D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.2. The underlined word ―conducive‖ in Para. 2 probably means ―______‖.A. necessaryB. helpfulC. particularD. harmful3. According to the text, the frontal lobes ______.A. prevent us from making repeated mistakesB. oversee thought processes in the brainC. have nothing to do with making mistakesD. have something to do with processing conscious information4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.A. the volunteers’ brain is in good healthB. the mistake first impresses the volunteersC. many of the volunteers predict wronglyD. information is showed on a computer screen。
