His parents always had himweeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But whenJohn reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had morejob satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Farhappier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenageboys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyedhappier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were心理学家)worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others feltgood about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at-healthages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs,housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out asadults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities weretwice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times aslikely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. Theresearchers a lso found that IQ and family social and economic class made no realdifference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age —is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidenceand competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help himunderstand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The mostcompetent adul t s are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything.

Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed i n business suits.But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the firsttime I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid.I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel thatthing right back to where he found it.I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for otherpeople but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids… they have perfectlyI thought. People staredgood legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because theythought the sooner they forgot me the better.“I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference isthat you’ve gotlegs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchair are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word.Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treatedpeople in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated.

2019—2020学年度上学期高二英语月考试卷(含答案)

2019~2020学年度上学期高二英语月考试卷第一部分阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AAre you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve got a guide to help you.You’re not alone.Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.The teachers will help.If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students. Pay attention to what your teachers say.Everything changes.There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.Other points.Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on.If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but things will become better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!21. The author says that you’re not alone, because other students ______.A. are polite and friendlyB. will help you if possibleC. feel the same as you doD. will learn the new rules with you22. What does the writer think of moving up to senior high school?A. It is a difficult problem.B. It’s a good chance.C. It sounds simple.D. It’s worrying.23. Which of the following does the writer suggest you do?A. Just act naturally.B. Don’t be shy.C. Change yourself.D. Pay attention to others.24. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. tell students about a new experienceB. help students that are going to senior high schoolC. tell students how to make full use of timeD. teach students how to organize themselvesBAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence(自信).Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback(反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficultie s when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."25. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praiseB. increase self-confidenceC. become strongD. do better in their studies26. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.A. make them live more happilyB. let them do more difficult workC. help them do better in schoolD. encourage them to improve27. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. Children don’t know what they’re really good at.C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.D. Duke thinks praise is more important than fin ding children’s strengths.28. The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to _________.A. the effectB. the praiseC. the advantageD.the confidenceCHi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father isdead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the ma n was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are coincidences(巧合). Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.29.According to the passage, the writer believes that the sixth sense is ________. A. in existence B. imaginative C. not real D. impossible30.ESP lets people know _________.A. about events before they happenB. about events after they happenC. about events that are happening some distance awayD. A and C31.By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.A. learn how people tell liesB. know more about human dreamsC. know more about human mindD. learn how strange things happenDIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a disaster or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages — bread, vegetables and other things — not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on —“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(犁雪车) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.32. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a disasterD. for which snow is a wonder33. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter34. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important35.The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs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。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure iscaptured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.6. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.A. the need to be close to natureB. the importance of private spaceC. the joy of the vacation in ItalyD. the shared passion for beauty7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _________.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCOur room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then andhad had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation. We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all.Not a soul. It’s one vacation I will never forget.8.Where did the author spend her vacation?A. Near a lake.B. In a village.C. At the seaside.D. In a mountain.9.What happened on the last evening of their vacation?A. They lost their way.B. Their cell phones were missing.C. Their money was stolen.D.

Their quick action.B. Other people’s kind help.C. The young man’s warning.D. The noise from the vending machine.DI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already z.been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoi dable in the author’s rescue work according ro paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.13.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.14.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.15.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s b eautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouragingE第二节七选五根据内容, 从对话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。

The 47-year-old man from Niagara Falls was trapped in his car on the highway for almost eight days after his car was accidentally pushed to the side of the road and covered with snow by workers employed to remove the snow from the streets.Driving on the Interstate Highway 190 during the worst of the snowstorm, Mr. Hanson decided to stop his old 1993 Volkswagen Passat to the side of the road and wait for the weather conditions to improve. He remained motionless(一动不动)for approximately five hours before a snow plow arrived to clear the way. Unfortunately for the poor man, the driver of the giant snow removal vehicle did not see the small car, pushing it into the ditch(沟) and covering it with more than 2 meters of snow. Fortunately for the father of two children, the snow that was stacked over his vehicle was not very dense(浓密的)and allowed for enough fresh air to get through to enable him to survive. He was able to drink water that he got by melting snow with his lighter in an aluminum coffee cup, and he ate the few items of groceries he had bought before going home.“If I had known I would be trapped for eight days, I would have bought more than a jar of dill pickles(咸菜), a bottle of ketchup and two sticks of beef jerky(牛肉干),”said the survivor with a smile.Thomas Hanson had almost lost all hope of being rescued when his car was hit once again this morning by another snow plow, which revealed the poor man’s location.4. What caused Thomas James Hanson to fall into the ditch according to the passageA. His drunk driving.B. The strong wind.C. The slippery road.D. A snow removal vehicle.5. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. Mr. Hanson had bought some food before the accident.B. Mr. Hanson got rescued on November 22 eventuallyC. Mr. Hanson had enough bottled water to drink in the carD. Mr. Hanson was trapped in the car with his children.6. Which of the following can best describe Thomas James HansonA. Quick-minded.B. Hard-working.C. CarelessD. Humorous7. Which of the following would be the best title of the passageA. Heavy Snowstorm Caused Disaster to New YorkB. Man Found Alive after Being Trapped 8 Days under SnowC. Thomas James Hanson -a Black Sheep in the SnowD. Wonderful Eight Days of Experience in the SnowCWhat’s your opinion on spicy food? Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili(辣椒) in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili and others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s.Former results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds (味蕾),too. But the latest study led by Professor John Hayes and his team from Pennsylvania State University has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her pe rsonality more than anything else.But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill(刺激), something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires(问卷)about certain characteristics of their personality, for example. Whether they like new and thrilling experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of spicy water mixed chili into it.By comparing the answers to questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water. Researchers found that those who were most likely to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water. Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can stand spicy food is that their tongue have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn.” Hayes explained.8.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?A. dislikeB. fearC. put up withD. get used to9.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities.B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females.C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to(倾向于)be less interested in spicy food.D. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling.10.Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study?A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitive.B. Because they love the burning feeling.C. Because they want to challenge themselves.D. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns.11.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality.B. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personality.C. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality.D. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality.DIt’s not easy being a teenager---nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safetyproblems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll refuse to talk. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.12. Why is it not easy being a teenager or a parent of a teenager?A.Because the teenager is very naughty.B.Because the parent always expects a lot from the child.C.Because you can make your child feel hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself.D.Because the teenager wants his or her own space.13. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents .A.how to get along with a teenager B.how to respect a teenagerC.how to understand a teenager D.how to help a teenager grow up14. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager .A.to use the phone in a reasonable way B.to pay for his own telephoneC.to share the phone quickly D.to answer the phone quickly15. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A.Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B.Give him advice only when necessary.C.Let him have his own telephone.D.Not talk about personal things with him.七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She se emed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure iscaptured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A. Her camera stopped working.B. A woman blocked her view.C. Someone asked her to leave.D. A friend approached from behind.5. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The perfect positioning of the camera.C. The woman’s existence in the photo.D. The soft sunlight that summer day.6. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.A. the need to be close to natureB. the importance of private spaceC. the joy of the vacation in ItalyD. the shared passion for beauty7. The pas sage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _________.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCOur room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet and peaceful, and fairly deserted.The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as worried as he was then andhad had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation. We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all.Not a soul. It’s one vacation I will never forget.8.Where did the author spend her vacation?A. Near a lake.B. In a village.C. At the seaside.D. In a mountain.9.What happened on the last evening of their vacation?A. They lost their way.B. Their cell phones were missing.C. Their money was stolen.D. They were followed by a stranger.10.The underlined word “overwhelm” in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. moveB. controlC. exciteD. impress11.What helped them get out of the trouble?A. Their quick action.B. Other people’s kind help.C. The young man’s warning.D. The noise from the vending machine.DI work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already z.been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.12.What is unavoidable in the a uthor’s rescue work according ro paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.13.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.14.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.15.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. I t’s humorous.D. It’s discouragingE第二节七选五根据内容, 从对话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。

On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of i nches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices (电子设备) like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other p eople’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.4. Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?A. They all wanted to have a good rest.B.

We can learn from the text that ________.A. the author’s sight recovered finallyB. reading made the author more sensitiveC. the author’s mother didn’t work to look after himD. reading made the author not worry about his sight7. Which of the following could be the best title of the text?A. My eyesight troubleB. An unforgettable experienceC. Wit h ears wide openD. About Mother’s loveCTony Burke,Australia's environment minister,says he won't decide until next yearwhether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October.But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala's population.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala's population is on the d ecrease.“But they may not yet be eligible(符合条件的)for listing as a threatened species,”said Senator Doug Cameron.“To have such a significant Australian icon(偶像)included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树)forests of Australia.And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings' development,their own illness,climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs.And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group .“We've work ed tirelessly for many years to gather data on the populations,”Pointing said.“That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland-the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm's way.Some people say that is not enough.“What we're doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Queensland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,”Burke told Australians.“They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn't done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a place only in Australians' memories.8.Tony Burke put off announcing the koala as an endangered species because ________.A. he needed more time to examine the latest informationB. he doubted whether koalas' number is decreasingC. he was thinking about ways to protect koalasD. he had more important issues to deal with9.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The habitat of the koala.B. Australia's traffic problems.C. The importance of koalas for Australians.D. Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.10.It can be learned from the text that Tony Burke ________.A. thought the government has done much for koalasB. thought we needn’t take care of the koalaC. decided to construct more fences along roadsD. was optimistic about the koala's future11.What is the main idea of the text?A. Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B. Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C. The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D. Australians are concerned about koalas.DShe is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But, at over 500 years ofage, time_is_catching_up_with_the_Mona_Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci (莱昂纳多·达·芬奇)in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed. “The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago, ”the mu seum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current(现在的) chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is v ery interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “I t's because direct vision(视觉) is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to look at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1169.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.12. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.A. is losing its valueB. is being damaged after so many yearsC. is getting more valuable with years passingD. will rot away13. The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.A. by indirect visionB. at a distanceC. by direct visionD. in shadows14. Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa?A. It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.B. Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.C. Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.D. King Francis Ⅰ bought it and then returned it to Italy.15. It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that________.A. experts haven't noticed changes in its shape as visitors doB. it is likely to be stolen again when it's under repairC. it is uncertain which country, Italy or France, should take chargeD. experts aren't sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paintE七选五: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。

AA young couple decided to get married. As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said, “All you have to do is to wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.”Well, it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband will not want to live i n the same room with me. I love him. I can’t live without him.”Her mother said, “In the morning,get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don’t say any word before you brush your teeth.”The young woman followed her mother’s advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife wake. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing?”The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed(吞) my sock!”1.What troubled the young man before he got married?A.His feet had an unpleasant smell.B.He was unprepared for the big day.C.He was too poor to marry the girl.D.His habit was too bad to be known.2.The underl ined word “bridegroom” in the first paragraph means .A.a man who has a few big troublesB.a man who hates to wash his feetC.a man who believes his familiesD.a man who will get married soon3.Why did the husband feel frightened?A.Because he forgot to wear the socks.B.Because one of his socks was missing.C.Because his wife might find the truth.D.Because it would disappoint his father.4.The husband said the last sentence of the passage because .A.his wife was very hungry in the morningB.his wife often dreamed of eating thingsC.he wanted to have his wife buy new socksD.he found his wife’s breath very smellyBCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that u se the word “cold”. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do cruel things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet—that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.5.The text is intended to tell us that.A.cold weather has a great effect on human bodiesB.many English expressions contain the word “cold”C.cold is a word all used to describe human emotionsD.the word cold has many different meanings in English6.Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?A.Cold-blooded.B.To get cold feet.C.A cold shoulder.D.A cold fish.7.If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say Tom.A.is given the cold shoulderB.is punished by a cold fishC.is left out in the coldD.has got cold feetCWhat is the best way to catch someone who is telling a lie?For a long time, the traditional method of catching liars was to watch their body language. Many people—from parents to police officers depend on this method. But does a person’s body tell us the truth?According to a new study, it is not the case. Researchers in the UK recentlyfound that talking seems to be the best way to smoke out a liar. Their study took place at an airport.The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security officers. Some of the officers used conversation methods to question them, while other officers depend on their body language. The officers using the talking method were 20 times more likely to catch the liarsLike many methods, this talking technique has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE for short. Here are four ways of catching a liar.①Use open-ended questions.These are the opposite of “Yes”and“No”question. Open-ended questions force the person to continue the story of their lies until they are caught in their own web of lies.②Surprise them.Ask questions they may not think you are going to ask. Ask questions that are surprising or off-topic.This will make it harder for them to keep lying.③Look for small details that do not make sense.Ask them details in their stories and look for facts that seem to disagree with each other. But do not let them know you know. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.④Watch for changes in confidence and speaking styles.Liars will often change their speaking styles when they are questioned. For example, when they feel in control they may be very talkative. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.8.What is the best title of this passage?A.How to Catch a LiarB.Airport Security ImprovedE Method Never FailsD.Lie with Body Language9.Which of the following methods is most likely to help you catch a liar?A.Ask the person if he is telling the truth.B.Surprise the person by raising your voice.C.Focus on the person’s body language.D.Notice changes in the person’s confidence.10.Why should you ask open-ended questions in order to catch a liar?A.Because they are easy to answer.B.Because they are harder to lie about.C.Because they are off the topic.D.Because they change their talking style.11.Who does the word “them” refer to in the four th paragraph?A.Security officers.B.Real passengers.C.Study volunteers.D.English researchers.DAmericans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the travelers might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport .This passport is for the safety of its traveling people. It is also a government’s pledge (保证) that the people will follow the rules of the host country. To receive a passport from the government, a traveler must show that he is an American citizen .An American cannot go abroad without a passport. Only the close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports. The traveler’s picture is inside the passport. Children traveling with their parents are also in one parent’s passport.Thousands of people from the United States visit other countries every year. An American traveler might carry plane tickets, money, clothing and many other things. But the most important thing that he carries in another country is his passport.12. Why does a traveler need a passport?A. It helps to protect the travelling people.B. It helps to know where he will go.C. He needs to take pictures often.D. He needs to carry more when he travels.13. A passport is not needed when an American goes to .A. European countriesB. Dangerous areasC. Canada or MexicoD. Russia and China14. Which statement does the passage lead you to believe? .A. some countries don’t ask for passports.B. people should take care of their passports.C. money is more important than a passportD. children are never included in a passport15. We can know from the text that .A. Americans like to travelB. a traveler is not safe in most countriesC. children can’t travel abroadD.

Besides, following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member, these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调) needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a good medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also events that unite people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.5. Through playing hide-seek, children are expected to learn to ________.A. be a team leaderB. obey the basic rulesC. act as a grown-upD. predict possible danger6. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _________.A. describe life in an exciting wayB. turn real-life experiences into a playC. make learning life skills more interestingD. change people’s views of sporting events7. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?A. It inspires people’s deep love for the country.B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.8. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Games benefit people all their lives.B. Sports can get all athletes together.C. People are advised to play games for fun.D. Sports increase a country’s competitiveness(竞争力).CWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the h ome or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working—at any age —is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”9. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.10. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _____.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men11.Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _____.A. r ecording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability12. What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to react.B. Having a thin edge.C. Clear and definite.D. sudden and rapid.DI always felt sorry for the people in wheelchairs. Some people, old and weak, cannot get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted (晕倒) at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First Aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction. Feeling color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it.I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently.Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness s et in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids… they have perfectly good legs. Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me, with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me the better.“I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is that you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”People in wheelchair are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled.13. The author once _________ when she was healthy.A. showed respected to disabled peopleB. looked down upon disabled peopleC. imagined herself sitting in a wheelchairD. saw some healthy people moving around in wheelchairs14. Facing the wheelchair for the first time when he was ill, the author _________.A. felt curious about itB. got ready to move around in it right awayC. thought it was ready for her fatherD. refused to accept it right away15. The experience of the author tells us that_________.A. life is the best teacherB. people often eat their bitter fruitC. life is so changeable that nobody can predictD. one should never does to others what he would not like others do to him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。

On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to c ome alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy.

She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull pm her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away.

The family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters . And as from early 2010, the internet became available on the ISS , giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing (冲浪)”in their personal time.

I am exception(例外) to that rule. It’s not my dad’s fault----he tried to teach me, and I remember cycling around the nearby housing village. One of my earliest memories is falling over the handlebars of my tricycle(三轮脚踏车) into abig piece of forests. I really didn’t want to repeat that.So I stopped learning. My dad wasn’t going to waste his time teaching someone who didn’t want to be taught. Time passed and I accepted that I couldn’t ride a bike. It never impacted my life in high school because I lived close enough to walk.I never felt like I was miss out until I couldn’t go on a bike ride with friends in Byron Bay because I was confident that I could go on a flat surface in a straight line. So when the chance came up to bike on the wall of Xi’an, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and make up my side, I got on the bike. But I didn’t know how to start. To push off with one foot hard was my instruction. It sounded simple enough but just was off, going in a straight line on a flat surface and managing to avoid the Chinese tourists who found my excitement funny.When I was at the age of 22, I finally learnt how to ride a bike, and I thought nothing can hold me back.4.According to the passage, how did British children learn to ride their bikes?A.By teaching themselves.B.By depending on their parents.C.By asking their friends for help.D.By relying on their dads.5.Why didn’t the author want to repeat one of his bike-learning experiences?A.Because he was mistaken.B.Because he didn’t understand his father.C.Because he wasn’t taught to ride a bike.D.Because he was hurt while riding a bike.6.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impacted” in Paragraph 2?A.Surprised.B.KilledC.Affected.D.Controlled.7.Why did the author want to bike on the wall of Xi’an?A.He wanted to get some time and know how to bike.B.He wanted to prove t himself and manage himself.C.He wanted to travel and learn some knowledge.D.He wanted to play with his friends.CWhat kinds of rooms are your favorite for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into the best state of concentration?According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms----soft blues or light-greens----are relaxing. And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension was much better in the bright rooms than in the pale rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite----that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.While this might seem only surprising, the findings get into a rather controversial (有争议的) area of psychological study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colorscreating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.8.What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?A.Pale colors appeal to all tastes.B.Few people like bright red or yellow.C.Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous.D.Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.9.What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2?A.How participants react to colors.B.Participants’ preferences in colors.C.What participants read in the rooms.D.Time participants spent in the rooms. 10.What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University?A.Higher stress leads to better performance.B.Most people know how to make use of colors.C.Stress is necessary when you want to concentrate.D.Being relaxed is very important for people studying.11.What’s the main idea of the text?A.Findings about people’s favourite room colors.B.Room colors can affect one’s academic performance.C.Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.D.Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.DWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Today’s work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they’re recognized and value d as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence(情商)----knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.12.The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _____ in this passage.A.throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objectiveB.to grow forth from the groundC.to move or pass suddenly or swiftlyD.to injure or harm one's own interests13.People may NOT be working hard when________.A. money is taken as the most importantB. they like their leadersC. they're regarded as human beingsD. leaders understand the way thingswork14. From the passage, we can conclude that________is the key to making a good leader.A. developing one's emotional intelligenceB. influencing others in one's own wayC. producing some unexpected resultsD. having confidence in one's ability15. This passage is most helpful to those who________.A. have strength and powerB. are going to make a speechC. are to be excellent employeesD.would like to be leaders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。

A website.C.magazine.D.A textbook.B.My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We lived just inside the city limits in what was stilla rural area.In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf(小牛)to replace our cow, which had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to alocal farm and returned with a white and brown calf we named Tubby.We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car withmy 9-year-old brother, Steve, and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.Later that summer, Momthought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went well u ntil the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubbycharging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.I lasted for about 30 feetbefore I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so wehad photos of me both on and off Tubby!When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. Imust have been somewhere else with my Momon the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was empty, and that we had plentyof meat for dinners.I hadn ’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that whathappened to Tubby was not unusual. Livestock aren ’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully ask,“Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until Dad had finally had enough and declared,“No more cows! ” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.4.The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.A. the family would have enough meat to eatB. it would provide their children with milk.C. they would have more cows in the futureD. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.5.Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?A. Serious.B. Strong-willed.C. Quick-minded.D. Careless.6.We learn from the passage that _____.A. Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.B. the author's mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.C. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.7.We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.A.dietcationC.petsD.animalsC.From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat runningdown your body, even if you're barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere (半球)saw high temperatures in July. The Arctic Circle(北极圈) was no exception. Temperatures inthe city of Norilsk,which is in the Arctic Circle,reached a record high of 32 ℃, The Atlantic reported.Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃at this time of the year.The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming,according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of theplanet. This is called the polar amplification effect( 极地放大效应 ).The most direct influence of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice.According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASAsaid that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice thatthe bears live on has shrunk( 减小 ), the Toronto Star reported.Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Somecountries, such as Tuvalu in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.8.Which of the following is true?A.The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.B.China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer.C.Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years.D.The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic.9.What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?A.The heat wave in the ArcticB. The result of global warmingC. Getting warmer in the worldD. The Arctic getting warm faster10.What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?A.The polar will become dangerousB.Sea levels will rise in the long termC.There will be an end of water shortageD.There will be no ice in the world by 204011.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Some countries may disappear into the seaB.Arctic animals are in dangerC.The world became hotter than beforeD.Heat hits ArcticD.Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchershave found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin ( 荷尔蒙催生素 ). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“Womentend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others.But men t end to be competitive.They are trying to improve their social status,”said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises theability to recognize friendship.Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to37.Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half receivedplacebo( 宽慰剂 ).After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They wentthrough the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions.Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship fromcompetition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language andfacial expressions.The resu lts indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded:“Our experime nt proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better distinguish different socialinteractions.And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors that are mainly hormonal.”12.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?A. Placebo.B. The social status.C. The gesture.D. Oxytocin.13.What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s previous experiment?A. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’success.B. Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.C. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behaviordifferences.14.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A. To know people’s different abilities to answer questions.B. To know the differences between friendship and competition.C. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize socialinteractions.D. To test people’s understanding of body language.15.The author develops the text by________.A. discussing research experimentsB. describing his own experiencesC. distinguishing sexual differencesD. explaining people’s behaviors第二节:(共 5 小题,每题 2 分,满分 10 分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直觉).Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救护车) to arrive.

In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term(词语). This is an official day that is decided by the government,when banks, shops and offices close for the day even though it's a weekday—usually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.Bank holidays are different in Colombia—firstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain, people get more holiday allowance(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint(守护神) in their region, so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.However, there are some days that are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year. This is just like Bastille Day in France on July 14, or Independence Day in the United States on July 4. Other important festivos in Colombia are: Labour Day, on May 1, and Columbus Day on October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is a memorialization of the day that the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on the continent in the year 1492. Many people criticize this day and say it is not something to celebrate because of the way Columbus and his teams treated the people that were already living there.8.What is a “bank holiday” according to the text?A.A holiday only for the bank staff.B. A British traditional religion festival.C . A celebration for Christmas and Easter D. An official nationwide vacation.9.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A . Colombia and Britain have the same number of festvos.B.All Colombians have the same number of festivos.C.Colombians have less holiday allowance than British people.D. People in most regions celebrate a patron saint.10.Why do many Americans refuse to celebrate Columbus Day ?A. Because Columbus wasn’t an American at all.B. Because it wasn’t Columbus that found A merica first.C. Because Columbus once treated the locals badly.D. Because Columbus didn’t live in the continent of America.11.What is the text mainly about?A. Bank holidays in Colombia.B. A British English term.C. Important festivos in America.D. Different religious holidays inthe world.DPeople generally like to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables w h e n s h o p p i n g f o r p r o d u c e,but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and imperfect produce atthe price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.A t r i a l r u nof the ugly food line, named "Naturally Imperfect", began with only applesa n d t o m a t o e sto choose from. Consumer(消费者) demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introducemore ugly vegetables and fruit like onions and mushrooms.All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would oth e r w i s e h a v e b e e n u s e d i njuices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The directorD a n B r a n s o n e x p l a i n e d t h a t t h i sprogram benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnor m a l p r o d u c e g o t o w a s t e,and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, considering how popular the line has become."It really went well beyond our expectation," Branson said. "I think it r e a l l y s p o k e t o t h e f a c t t h a tCanadians are out there really looking for some Choices."Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin(外皮) deep, andthey also recognize that they get the same flavor and nutritional (营养的) benefits ins p i t e o f a p p e a r a n c e s.T h e p o s i t i v e r e s p o n s e t othe offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offermore choices at a greater price to Canadian families."If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won't look as pretty as whatyou will see in a grocery store”, said Branson. “ And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a NO Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”12. Loblaws is different from other supermarkets because_______.A. more fruits are offered at lower pricesB. normal-looking produce is banned thereC. only apples and potatoes are sold every dayD. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there13. According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program _______.A. prevents people from wasting their foodB. teaches food producers how to growC. happens to be a win-win arrangementD. enables consumers to eat more fresh produce14. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.B. Customers' support helps the development of Loblaws.C. Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.D. Loblaws intends to improve customers' quality of life.15. What do Branson's words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.B. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.C. The world is usually full of imperfect things.D.The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

The 47-year-old man from Niagara Falls was trapped in his car on the highway for almost eight days after his car was accidentally pushed to the side of the road and covered with snow by workers employed to remove the snow from the streets.Driving on the Interstate Highway 190 during the worst of the snowstorm, Mr. Hanson decided to stop his old 1993 Volkswagen Passat to the side of the road and wait for the weather conditions to improve. He remained motionless(一动不动)for approximately five hours before a snow plow arrived to clear the way. Unfortunately for the poor man, the driver of the giant snow removal vehicle did not see the small car, pushing it into the ditch(沟) and covering it with more than 2 meters of snow. Fortunately for the father of two children, the snow that was stacked over his vehicle was not very dense(浓密的)and allowed for enough fresh air to get through to enable him to survive. He was able to drink water that he got by melting snow with his lighter in an aluminum coffee cup, and he ate the few items of groceries he had bought before going home.“If I had known I would be trapped for eight days, I would have bought more than a jar of dill pickles(咸菜), a bottle of ketchup and two sticks of beef jerky(牛肉干),”said the survivor with a smile.Thomas Hanson had almost lost all hope of being rescued when his car was hit once again this morning by another snow plow, which revealed the poor man’s location.4.

Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili(辣椒) in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili and others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s.Former results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds (味蕾),too. But the latest study led by Professor John Hayes and his team from Pennsylvania State University has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else.But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thr ill(刺激), something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires(问卷)about certain characteristics of their personality, for example. Whether they like new and thrilling experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given cups of spicy water mixed chili into it.By comparing the answers to questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water. Researchers found that those who were most likely to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water. Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason why some people can stand spicy food is that their tongue have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn.” Hayes explained.8.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph?A. dislikeB. fearC. put up withD. get used to9.What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study?A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities.B.

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safetyproblems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll refuse to talk. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.12.
