He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planti ng trees. And his life’s goal was to make it a forest.Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren’t watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They’re very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.36.

If John’s team lost, he would send Robert’s team ten pounds of tomatoes.Unluckily, before the game started, John overheard (偶尔听到) Robert tell someone, “They grow the worst tomatoes. If they lose th e game and send us their tomatoes, I’m going to give them all to my pigs.〞 John was upset to hear this, because he thought his tomatoes were the best.The following week, the big game was played. The star player in John’s team tripped over (绊倒) a cheerleader (啦啦队员) and injured his leg. The player could just watch the rest of the game. Finally, his team failed to win the game. The two teachers shook hands after the game and Robert said, “I’m really looking forward to your tomatoes.〞As John’s team left, some unhappy fans threw tomatoes at them.A week later, Robert received a package of beautiful tomatoes. He took them straight to his pigs and the pigs ate them up in a second. That night John asked his wife if Robert had called. “No,〞she said. “Why?〞“Becaus e I mixed a pound of salt into the tomatoes and I wanted to know how his pigs are doing.〞 John feltnervous and thought that perhaps what Robert had said was partly true.39.

Curious.DEyesight problems are common among all ages and if they are left untreated, they can cause serious headaches or other problems. The good news is that most eyesight problems can easily be sorted out by wearing glasses.Regular eye tests are important for everyone. Children and teenagers, under the age of 16 and up to the age of 19 for those full-time education, have the right to have eye tests for free in Britain. As the eye test is free, there’s no excuse for not having a regular eye test. Doctors suggest that it’s better to have an eye test about once a year.Wearing glasses isn’t always regarded as all that cool and teens who suddenly need to wear glasses may find it difficult to accept. If they’ve grown up wearing glasses, then they may be more used to it. However, if your eyes are in poor health, not wearing glasses can put even more pressure on your eyes and could make them even worse.Thankfully, the days of little choice of glasses frames (框架) for teenagers are gone and there’s now a wide selection of frames. If a teen does need to wear glasses, then it’s good to let him or her choose the type, as he or she will be able to choose something he or she feels comfortable. Don’t forget to be guided by the experts on glasses too.47.

ADrinking too much alcohol（酒，酒精）seems to give pleasure to many people. Habit alone can keep people drinking. However, many heavy drinkers can offer some other reasons for their actions.Right now doctors are getting some attention in their protests against heavy drinking. Many people have cut down on their drinking. In general, everyone believes the doctors' warnings.It is sometimes very easy to stop drinking heavily. For example, at a party a man has just one drink. He can stop thinking about having another one. Both health considerations(考虑) and the high cost of drinking help him to stay away from alcohol. All of his friends help, too. They always understand his problem and are really concerned（关注）. The heavy drinker needs friendslike these.1．Drinking too much alcohol ________.A．seems to give pleasure to many people B．is a habitC．is reasonable D．will do good to people2．A heavy drinker _________A．believes the doctors' warnings B．has no reasons for drinkingC．needs friends to help him stop drinking heavily D．can't stay away from alcohol3．The best title for the passage is ________A．Alcohol B．No Drinking C．A Heavy Drinker D．Give It UpBWe know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humansand animals move from one place to another, but at other timeswe don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.4. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain timeto __________ .A. give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places5. The fish called “salmon” spends a long life in __________ .A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace6. The mice in northern Europe move when __________ .A. they give birthB. the weather is badC. the place gets too crowdedD. they haven’t enoughfood7. The lobsters move __________ .A. to the fresh waterB. to the sea floorC. at a certain timeD. to find more food8. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Animals move in order to find food more easily.B. The migration of the fish called “salmon” is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because theylike to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from oneplace to another, but sometimes we don’t.CAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children,usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.9. Which of these sentences best describes the wri ter’s point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.10. It is suggested in this passage that_______.A. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC. close relation usually have similar intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence11. The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .A. purposelyB. frequentlyC. independentlyD. aimlessly12. The best title for this article would be_______.A. On IntelligenceB. What Dose Intelligence Mean ?C. We Are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing IntelligenceDMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give yo u what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the househear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”13. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PIN.C. A home for the future.D. Easy life in the future.14. The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.A. it has been controlled by computersB. you can make a telephone call anywhereC. it has your favorite music following youD. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice15. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A. An IT expert.B. A famous doctor.C. An idealistD. An experienced teacher.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。

【全国百强校】吉林省长春外国语学校2020-2021学年高二上学期期初考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、完形填空We humans love to make comparisons. On the market, we 1 to find the best ones. In the classroom teachers compare their students to the 2 . And parents compare their child to his or her peers to 3 an idea of what is normal.4 , comparisons of any kind come with a sting (剧痛) for everyone. When parents make it clear to anyone that their child is5 to all other children in all ways, they put their child under6 . Some children will obey when they are pressured to7 their parents' need for perfection; others may8 , trying to be just like any other kid, or, better still, to be just who they are. In other9 , parents who compare their child to other children might end up 10 their child is somehow "deficient (有缺点的)". And, again, they pressure their child to be 11 enough.A most disturbing 12 of all this comparing is that it pushes children into the destructive world of competition. "In a 13 culture, a child is told that it isn't enough to be good—he or she must 14 other," writes Alfie Kohn, a parenting expert.According to Kohn, research doesn't 15 the theory that competition brings success. One after another, researchers have concluded that children don't learn better 16 education is changed into a competitive struggle. Competition prevents a child's ability 17 not only educationally but socially, too.So, 18 competition, cooperation! Instead of 19 other people's children, parents need to pay close attention to their own, learn who they are, discover their interests and talents, and teach them how to cooperate with others. They will need role models to 20 them.1．A．see B．touch C．sell D．compare 2．A．mature B．new C．model D．overseas 3．A．get B．use C．share D．explain 4．A．Therefore B．However C．Otherwise D．Besides 5．A．harmful B．superior C．responsible D．thankful 6．A．pressure B．control C．discussion D．consideration7．A．express B．prove C．satisfy D．create 8．A．disappear B．wait C．resist D．rest 9．A．cases B．words C．ways D．nations 10．A．denying B．deciding C．predicting D．concluding 11．A．honest B．good C．patient D．polite 12．A．process B．consequence C．purpose D．method 13．A．traditional B．scientific C．political D．competitive 14．A．defeat B．accept C．recognize D．choose 15．A．test B．challenge C．support D．change 16．A．since B．until C．when D．unless 17．A．losing B．processing C．showing D．reducing 18．A．apart form B．because of C．as for D．instead of 19．A．shouting at B．laughing at C．looking at D．striking at 20．A．guide B．force C．invite D．expect二、阅读选择A person's nose is important for breathing and smelling. The nose is also used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to "lead other people by the nose". For example, if a wife "leads her husband by the nose", she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be "hard-nosed". They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is "hard-nosed", chances are that he will never "pay through the nose", or pay too much money, for an object or service.It is always helpful when people "keep their noses out of other people's business"—they do not interfere. The opposite of this is someone who "noses around all the time". This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters. He is considered "nosey". Someone who "keeps his nose to the grindstone "works very hard. This can help a worker "keep his nose clean" or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is "it is no skin off my nose". This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person "cuts off his nose to spite his face". That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person "looks down his nose" at someone or something. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also "turn his noseup" at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He is "with his nose in the air".In school, some students "thumb their noses" at their teacher—they refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be "right under your nose" or easily seen. 21．Which of the following can best describe a "hard-nosed" person?A．Stubborn. B．Wise.C．Jealous D．Generous.22．A person is not welcome if he __________.A．"keeps his nose clean"B．"noses around all the time"C．"keeps his nose to the grindstone"D．"keeps his nose out of other peoples business"23．The expression "turn one's nose up" is similar to__________.A．"it is no skin off one's nose"B．"look down one's nose"C．"with one' s nose in the air"D．"thumb one's nose"Next time you hear a funny joke you'd better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn't always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says, "We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their hearts, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who'd dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs."It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it's not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that's right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: "You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横隔膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful."According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn 40 calories, and ifyou laughed all day you'd use about 2, 000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don't do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I don't want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate. Laughter comes naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.24．Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT _____A．heart stopB．diaphragm movementC．lung burstD．jaw dislocation25．The underlined phrase "doom and gloom" in Paragraph 2 probably means "______". A．hopelessB．funnyC．painfulD．nervous26．How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?A．About 40.B．About 1, 000.C．About 2, 000.D．About 2, 040.27．What is the author's attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph? A．Uninterested.B．Disapproving.C．Worried.D．Favorable.They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks. The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well asencouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia. 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition. By 2021 this is expected rise to one million.John Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine. " Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms Gray said: "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest. People don't need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond."Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take medicine. If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there is a greater chance of them taking it. The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people."28．In Britain people with dementia_____________.A．are likely to increase in numberB．are mostly over 65 years oldC．will be trained to respond to sound triggersD．will be able to live a relatively normal life29．The dogs are trained to perform tasks by______________.A．making some sound signalsB．communicating with the patientsC．reminding the patients by barkingD．reacting to some sound triggers30．What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Faces. B．Triggers.C．Pets. D．Companions.三、七选五Why should you read every day?When was the last time you read a book? If you're one of countless people who don't make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out. Reading has many benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below.Mental StimulationStudies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of Alzheimer's and Dementia. 31．. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.Wider KnowledgeEverything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. 32．.Stress ReductionNo matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other problems, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. 33．.

Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “Itdoesn't matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don't think they will come to visit me.”After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I'm very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town，” one of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn't come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.( )15.That day Mark Twain went to the town ________．A. to see one of his friendsB. because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thereC. because he wanted to do something there for his writingD. to see one of his relatives( )16.The waiters felt sorry because ________．A. they did something wrong to Mark TwainB. their hotel was too smallC. the room was not very cleanD. there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twain's room( )17.All the people present laughed heartily because ________．A. the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn't come into the wrong roomB. the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain's room numberC. Mark Twain made a jokeD. Mark Twain gave the waiters some nice presents( )18.From the story we know ________．A. no mosquitoes troubled Mark Twain in the nightB. the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after Mark Twain well at nightC. Mark Twain didn't have a good rest that nightD. there were no mosquitoes in the hotel any longerCHundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor(因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.( )19.According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.( )20.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ________．A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country( )21.To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?A. Two.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.( )22.According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?A. You often play football with your friends after school.B. Your teacher has got a cold.C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.D. The bike in front of your house is lost.DAbout five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels (控制板) on the ground rather t han the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of superstrong glass tha t would offer vehicles the tractions (牵引力) they need.According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway c reates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roadsto driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100，000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smartroad parking lot in the coming spring.( )23.In the inventors' opinion, the Solar Roadway ________.A. is too expensive to build at presentB. costs no more money than current roadsC. can provide as many data as present computersD. will bring them a large sum of money( )24.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to“________”．A. the panelsB. the inventorsC. the researchersD. the vehicles( )25.It can be inferred from the text that ________．A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into useB. $100，000 is only enough to build a smartroad parking lotC. the Solar Roadway is not available for gaspowered carsD. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere第二节、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。

I ran the risk(风险)of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare(宣布),“But I`m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you`re asleep?”“Oh,sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The students would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That`s pretty creative.Who does that for you?”“Nobody.I do it.”“Really---at night,when you`re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime,in class,okay?”25.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .A.know more about the students .B.make the class more exciting.C.raise the students` interest in art.D.teach the students about toy design.26.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.He liked to help his teacher.B.He preferred to study alone.C.He was imaginative..D.He was active in class.27.What does the underlined word“downside”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.MistakeB.DifficultyC.Drawback (劣势)D.Burden（负担）28.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A.To help them to see their creativityB.To find out about their sleeping habitsC.To help them to improve their memoryD.To find out about their ways of thinkingCThe problem of global warming has caused a lot of people to get started on increasing their campaigns to save the Earth`s ecological system.The trouble is that nearly all people think it even expensive to begin living green.Continue reading to see several immediate (马上的)things you can do to get on the road to living green.You can get off to a great start by learning to recycle(回收利用).While this appears really simple,there are many people who still throw glass bottles and aluminum（铝）cans into their common garbage（垃圾）.In the US,it`s easy to locate a trash service that has glass and aluminum recycling alternatives.If you take a few seconds to wash the cans and bottles and put them in the recycling bin,you will be on the path to saving the earth.One more big waste product is newspapers.The majority of people will merely take their newpaper and throw it into the garbage when they finish reading it.Still there are many other things you can do with an old newspaper when you finish reading it.For instance,newspapers make traffic material for cleaning windowpanes.You can clean your windows with newspapers rather than paper towels and window cleaner for a streak-free shine.What else you can do to get started living green is to start walking a bit more.Many people think nothing of getting in their cars and driving one block to get soda at the local convenience store.If you merely walk to the store,not only could it take less time,because you won`t have to try to find a parking place,but you will be saving money on petrol and helping to save the planet by not burning those fuels（燃料）.If you wish to save even more on fuel,take the chance to join the car pool whenever you can and just mow（割） your lawn （草坪） twice a month instead of weekly.29.What is the main purpose(目的) of Paragraph 1?A.To tell us that many people are living green.B.To express worries about globalwarmingC.To advise people to learn how to live greenD.To call on people to live an easy life.30.The author thinks that .A.many people don`t recycle glass bottles properly(适当)B.cans and bottles areusually washed before recycledC.it is rather difficult to recycle cans and bottlesD.people would like to throwhousehold (家庭的)waste everywhel31.The underlined phrase“car pool”in the last paragraph probably refers to(指的是).A.a pool where you can swimB.a good way to avoid traffic jamsC.a group of people sharing the same carD.an organization to protect the environment32.What is the main idea of the passage?A.It costs us much to live a green life.B.Living green is much simplier than people thinkC.A lot of things can be reused in our daily life.D.People are living a much betterlife than before.DIt`ll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends,Susie.I still cannot decide what to give her.She`s a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to.I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.It`s more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school.I joined the theatre group and she was intimidating but in the end,I realized that she needed to keep a strict(严格的) image(印象) in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously.And then during practice,I got a chance to know her better.In fact,she was a friendly and warm-hearted person .Soon we became good friends.I don`t know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything.So it`s really hard to buy her a gift she will appreciate.This year I want something different and special but I don`t know what to give.One dai I searched the Internet without any purpose and to my surprise,there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.I scanned some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts.I chose a special personalized bracelet(手镯).I`m sure that this will look perfect on her.I put our names as part of the design of the bracelet so that it`ll remind us that we`ll forever be friends.I can`t wait to give her my gift but I won`t tell her yet.I don`t want to destroy the surprise.33.Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend?A.She can always offer help when the author is in need.B.The author and Susie have lotsof things to talk aboutC.Susie is good at solving problemsD.Susie is a friendly and warm-heartedperson34.The underlined word“intimidating”in Paragraph 2 most probablymeans .A.charmingB.nervousC.warm-heartedD.frightening35.Finally the author found a nice gift for her friend .A.with the help of somebody elseB. without any difficultyC.while doing shopping in a storeD. by accident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。
