Whenever he smiles, it‘s as if you‘d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.When James was a teenager, his father 31 him to a fur factory where he worked. This was during the Great Depression. The 32 was to get James a job.He entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the 33 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the 34 were packedtightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying, 35 a thickened air,and the workers, 36 the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles 37 the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster. James could hardly 38 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn‘t 39 at him, too.During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him, 40 if there was any work for his son. But 41 there was barely enough 42 for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he takes a job.Thus, for James, it was a 43 . He hated the place. He made a 44 that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought 45 to someone else, and he would never allow himself to 46 money off the seat of others.―What will you do?‖ his mother, Eva, would ask him.―I don‘t know,‖ he 47 say.

In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or havean ―out-of-control‖ feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem –addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a ―rush‖during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can‘t see clocks displaying the time because they don‘t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there .What‘s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, s o you don‘t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self control.51. Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?A. Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls.C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping.D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.52. According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?A. The awareness of how market forces work.B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success.C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people‘s life.D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.53. What does the author suggest to control our shopping behavior?A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.C. Making the shopping time as short as possible.D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.54. The author writes this passage to .A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppersB. provide solutions to the problem shopping.C. scold the problem shoppersD. tell a shopping storyBIn a new study, 186 four-year-old kids were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the same vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many.The study suggests the influence of these names might persist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer labeled as anything special.The research, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was presented at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D.C..―Cool names can make for cool foods,‖said the lead author Brian Wansink of Cornell University. ―Whether it be ‗power peas‘ or ‗dinosaur broccoli trees‘, giving a food a fun name makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working — even the next day,‖Wansink said.Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Romantic Hawaii, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increased by 12 percent. ―Same food, but different expectations, and a different experience,‖said Wansink, author of ―Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.‖The study was conducted in pre-schools, but the researchers believe the same naming tricks can work with children at home.―I‘ve been using this with my kids,‖ said researcher Collin Payne, ―Whatever sparks(激发) their imagination seems to spark their appetite.‖55. Those four-year-old kids ate _____ when the carrots were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.A. twice more carrotsB. nearly double carrotsC. about 50 percent more carrotsD. as many carrots as they used to56. According to the passage, _______ make(s) kids think it will be more fun to eat.A. power peasB. dinosaur broccoli treesC. fun names of foodD. cool foods57. The restaurant study didn‘t show that ________.A. sales increased 28 percent when the name Romantic Hawaii was takenB. taste rating increased by 12 percent after the Seafood Filet was renamedC. same food would let people have a different experience with different namesD. the researchers got similar results when they work with children at home58. The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________.A. people prefer food with cool namesB. how to name the food which kids eatC. how to help kids eat in a healthy wayD. kids often imagine when they eat foodCHabits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. ―Not choice, but habit rules theunreflecting creatures,‖ William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word ―habit‖ carries a negative meaning.So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.But don‘t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they‘re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.―The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,‖says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind.‖But we are taught instead to ‗decide‘, just as our president calls himself ‗the Decider‘.‖ She adds, however, that ―to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one.A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.‖―All of us work through problems in ways of which we‘re unaware,‖ she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought.‖ This breaks the major rule in the American belief system—that anyone can do anything,‖ explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova‘s business partner.‖That‘s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you‘re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.‖ This is where developing new habits comes in.59. Brain researchers have discovered that .A. the forming of new habits can be guidedB. the development of habits can be predictedC. the regulation of old habits can be transformedD. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously60. The underlined word ―ruts‖ in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .A. zonesB. connectionsC. situationsD. tracks61. Which of the following state ments most probably agrees with Dawna Markova‘s view?A. Decision makes no sense in choices.B. Curiosity makes creative minds active.C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.62. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us .A. to give up our traditional habits deliberatelyB. to create and develop new habits consciouslyC. to resist the application of standardized testingD. o believe that old habits conflict with new habitsDWhen I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, ―Don‘t ask us for help! We cannot help you!‖I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA).I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners‘ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac (机场停机坪) in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald‘s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar. The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.63. Many people crowded the terminal because ________.A. they were ready to board on the planesB. something was wrong with the terminalC. the flights to the Northeast were canceledD. the gate agent wouldn‘t help the passengers64. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.C. Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.D. McDonald‘s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.65. What can be implied from the passage?A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.C. The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.E从方框里为每段文章选出合适的小标题（有一项为多余选项）。

He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversion and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee,I asked,“My I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more ,and he accepted another cup of coffee,Finally,I rose to leave,wished him well,and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life.

When you weren't thinking about it, suddenly the answer has come to you, as a present from the gods．You're pleased with it, and feel good．It may not be right, but at least you can try it out．Of course all ideas don't come like that, but the interesting thing is that so many do, particularly the most important ones．They come into the mind, glowing（燃烧）with the heat of creation．40．Getting a good idea is ____．A．more satisfying than most of the thingsB．as satisfying as most of the thingsC．one of the few things in your lifeD．the same as a few experiences in your life41．The most important ideas ____．A．come when you are tiredB．are always rightC．are pleasing but not goodD．come as if they send out brightness and warmth42．The ideas coming into the mind are worth ____．A．thinking about B．dreamingC．trying out D．sleeping on43．What does“so many do”mean in the third paragraph?A．Interesting ideas always turn out to be true．B．Many ideas often come suddenly．C．Many interesting things happen suddenly．D．Many important ideas suddenly come from the gods．(C)Mr. Johnson had never been up in an airplane before and he had read a lot about air accidents, so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small plane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting．Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson got on the plane．His friend started the engine and began to taxi（滑行）onto the runway of the airport．Mr. Johnson was very frightened and closed his eyes．After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend,“Look at those people down there．They look as small as ants, don't they?”“Those are ants,”answered his friend．“We're still on the ground．”44．The best title for this passage is ____．A．First Flight B．First AccidentC．First Experience D．First Trip45．When his friend suggested an airplane trip to Mr. Johnson, he ____．A．accepted gladlyB．accepted unwillinglyC．refused the offerD．showed his surprise46．When Mr. Johnson opened his eyes, the plane ____．A．was flying in the air B．was out of orderC．was still taxing along the runway D．took off47．Mr. Johnson thought he was ____ when he saw the ants．A．flying high B．falling out of the planeC．on the ground D．dreaming48．Mr. Johnson seems to be a ____ man．A．brave and wise B．polite and humourousC．careful and kind D．shy and easily frightened(D)If you dream of going someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more that 3,000°F. “This is the hottest planet we know about,” says Dr Dimitar Sasselv, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets（细沫）.”The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before, It is in the Milky Way (银河) but it is not in our solar （太阳的）system. The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method called transit technique. They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim. Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the d oor has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,”says Sasselov.49．We can infer from the passage that _______.A．there is iron on the new planetB．we could go to the new planet in winterC．the star could block our view of the new planetD．scientists are studying the weather50．The “transit technique” can ________ .A．help dim the light of a starB．help scientists with a searchlightC．help discover a bee on a planetD．help find a planet moving before its star51．Which is the best title for the passage?A．New planet-searching TechniqueB．New Distant DiscoveryC．Space SearchingD．Dream PlanetIV. 对话填空（5题，满分5分）根据对话内容，从对话后选项中，选出五个能填入对话的最佳答案。

长郡中学高二英语分班考试试题及参考答案

高二英语入学分班考试试题Ⅰ.阅读理解AHungry For a WinA victor is,by definition,someone who wins a struggle or contest.However,that doesn’t mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after,as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games:Catching Fire.Catching Fire,out in Chinese theaters on Nov.21,is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death.Two teenagers from each of the12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.In the new film,last year’s victors Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence)and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the74th Hunger Games.Katniss just wants to live a normal life. However,that never seems to happen.She has nightmares,which remind her that she is a killer.Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage,President Snow plans to use this year’s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.“This is the next step of Katniss’heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，”Lawrence told Reuters.Fastpaced and full of action,Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in2012.With a97percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes,it is enjoying positive reviews.Critics have praised it for being faithful to the book written by American author Suzanne Collins.The Hollywood Reporter said that Catching Fire outshines the first movie a lot.Jennifer Lawrence,who won a best actress Oscar this year for her2012movie Silver Linings Playbook,has helped Catching Fire find success,Forbes pointed out.The23yearold actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.“Lawrence’s downtoearth personality in real life won the hearts of the public.So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away,a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers,the sequel(续集)was always going to be big，”Forbes noted.1．The underlined word“dampen”in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to“________”．A．hold B．lightC．reduce D．support2．Which of the following is TRUE about the film’s story according to the article?A．Every year12teenagers in total are chosen to join in the televised fight.B．Despite having won the74th Hunger Games,Katniss doesn’t feel much joy.C．Katniss and Peeta are chosen once again to make the TV show more appealing.D．Jennifer Lawrence won a best actress Oscar this year for the first The Hunger Gamesmovie.3．What are some reasons why Catching Fire will probably be successful?a．The previous film was successful.b．It is true to the original book’s story.c．Most of the reviews of the movie are positive.d．It has many famous stars in addition to Jennifer Lawrence.A．abc B．abdC．acd D．bcd4．In which column of a newspaper can readers find this article?A．Beautiful Mind.B．Campus Trends.C．Culture Discovery.D．Society.BSometimes current affairs feel as if they are worlds away from our daily lives.What does it matter if there is a war on another continent if you’re engaged in a war at home every evening? What does it matter if women in other countries can’t vote when neither can you?It matters a lot, as it so happens!In our globalised world current affairs everywhere have a huge impact on our lives,most of the time without us even realising it.To see this effect in action,make sure you pick up the paper now and again and connect it with events in your local community.When patterns emerge,you’ll be glad you did.Have you ever heard about the Butterfly Effect?You may have heard that when a butterfly flaps(拍打)its wings somewhere,a storm is created somewhere else.If you don’t believe it,have a look at these examples:Drought makes wheat scarce and the price of bread rises.Oil runs dry and the price of your holiday flights rises very quickly.Civil war increases the number of refugees(难民).A change in national government causes your local school to change its meals.So you are supposed to track the news.Keep up with current affairs by:Buying newspapers; reading the news online;watching daily news bulletins;exploring news and current affairs magazines.It is obvious that current affairs anywhere in the world could potentially affect your life,no matter where or how you live it.The only way to take back some control is to get involved.You don’t have to plan to be the next Prime Minister,but if you are concerned about something,do something about it.Consider:Voting with your money and only purchasing products you believe in.Volunteering for a cause you support.Getting involved in a political campaign you hope will be successful.Studying the subject further and considering a career in the area.Keeping up with current affairs is not something to do if you have time;it is something for which you make time.Every day we have the chance to witness history in the making,but many of us let television,games,chats and other silly behaviors or attitudes get in the way.Make sure to give at least a half hour of each day towards reading the news,exploring current affairs and finding ways to make your thoughts and feeling known.5．According to the first paragraph,many people________.A．don’t care much for events in the local communityB．are not aware of the effects of the current affairsC．find it hard to develop the habit of reading newspapersD．are unwilling to share their views on current affairs6．According to Paragraph2,which of the following is the Butterfly Effect?A．Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.B．The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.C．The greater the expectation placed on people,the better they perform.D．The tiniest influence on one part can have a huge effect on another.7．In Paragraph4,the author encourages readers to________.A．find out the hidden secrets of current affairsB．take part in activities related to current affairsC．develop a good understanding of politicsD．care more about political events than before8．What could be the best title of this text?A．Keeping Up with Current AffairsB．Paying Attention to the Butterfly EffectC．Great Effect of Current AffairsD．Several Tips on Tracking the NewsCIt is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw(18561950),the Irishborn writer,is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than60 plays,novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today,in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues,not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment,Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight(苦难)of the poor and the working class,the situation of women and the institutions of society,such as the education system —Shaw was among the most wellknown figures making these topics central to public debate. His first play，Widowers’Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum(贫民窟)housing.His Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893)brought a controversial topic to the stage.Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society,which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder(in1895)of one of the now most famous colleges in the world,the London School of Economics.If few of his works have really stood the test of time,many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy(哲学)in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”9．Shaw’s influence on the modern world comes mainly from______.A．the changes he brought to the British cultureB．his philosophies on the role of governmentC．his awareness of social problems of his dayD．the support for the London School of Economics10．Widowers’Houses is a play that mainly focuses on______.A．the failure of the UK education systemB．the housing problems of poor peopleC．robbery incidents in slum areasD．socialist movements in the UK11．By describing Shaw’s quotations as“part of the furniture of the English language”，the author means that Shaw’s words______.A．have become the best part of EnglishB．have greatly developed the English languageC．have made the English language philosophicalD．have become an inseparable part of the English language12．Which of the following about George Bernard Shaw’s works is TRUE?A．They should be adapted for modern readers.B．They are mostly about the lives of working class.C．They deal with important social issues of their day.D．Most of them are still performed on the stage of the world today.DAfter many years on the endangered list of animals,Japan’s Amami rabbit can finally breathe a sigh of relief—that’s because this year,the rare animal is no longer in danger of dying out!The effort to save the darkfurred rabbit often referred to as a living fossil began in1921, when the Japanese government promoted it to the status of“natural monument”.This meant that it could not be hunted down for food.However,when that did not work,it got yet another promotion to“special natural monument”，which meant that the rabbit could not be trapped or hunted.While that helped,it was not enough—by2004with only between2,000—5,000 specimens(样本)left in the wild,the Amami rabbit was officially declared endangered!The reason for the severe population decline was attributed to loss of habitat caused by forest clearing for home and agriculture use and the introduction of a new invasive species not native to the island—mongoose(獴).Brought in to get rid of the snake population,the animals instead seemed to prefer the black rabbit.In2005,the government issued a strict mongoose capture order and slowly but surely,the rabbits started to come back.The rabbit lives a rather unusual lifestyle.Its ideal habitat is a forest that features both trees and large grasses—the former to find acorns(橡实)to feed on and the latter,to hide its babies. That’s because to protect them from being eaten by predators,the Amami rabbit buries them deep into the ground among the grasses and covers them up with dirt during the day.Then,in the middle of the night,still keeping a vigilant eye out for predators,it digs them out from their hiding place and feeds them.No wonder the animal is sometimes referred to as“midnight rabbit”．Though many measures have been taken to stop this furry treasure from being wiped out from the world,there are many more that are still in danger.We sure hope that officials in other parts of the world try their best to save the endangered species.13．The status of“natural monument”in Para.2means________.A．you can’t kill the darkfurred rabbitB．you can’t capture the darkfurred rabbitC．you can’t hunt the darkfurred rabbit for foodD．you can’t trap or hunt the darkfurred rabbit14．Why was the rabbit still in danger after it was promoted to“special natural monument”？A．Because it was always eaten by snakes.B．Because people still wanted to capture it for food.C．Because the rabbit lived a rather unusual lifestyle.D．Because of loss of habitat and a new invasive species.15．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word in Para.4in the passage?A．watchful B．goodC．fearful D．shiny16．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Many officials don’t pay attention to rare species.B．Rare black Amami rabbits are no longer endangered.C．Saving the endangered species has a long way to go.D．The measures taken to protect the rabbit were in vain.Ⅱ.完形填空When I was young,I had a friend named Mark who loved to make

If God lets us get wet, well, maybe we just need 44 .”Then off they ran. We all stood there, watching and smiling as they ran through the rain. They held their shopping bags over their 45 just in case. Yes, they got wet.

There are always risks when you bring people together. They increase when it is a social gathering and rise even further when alcohol is served.This is a company organized event, so you can be held resposible for employees’ misbehavior if it can be foreseen reasonably and you have not taken reasonable steps to prevent it, for example, drunken behavior at a party where you are providing alcohol is foreseeable, so you need to take steps to manage this and make sure that your employees know what is expected of them.Send a memo（备忘录)to all the staff reminding them that as this is a company organized event they are expected to behave in anapproprite manner. Tell them that any unacceptable behavior will be subject to the company’s disciplinary procedures（纪律程序）.Encourage reponsible drinking.Try to limit the amount of free alcohol and tell the bar staff that they should refuse to serve alcohol to people who are too drunk. Consider allowing unlimited soft drinks to all employees but limit free alcohol to a resposible level. It shou ldn’t be necessary for your staff to get drunk to enjoy themselves.While it may not be popular with your managers, it may be worth telling a couple of them to avoid drinking and be resposible for dealing with any problems that occur at the party before they get out of hand. It is also worth reminding them of the danger of getting into embarrassing situations with junior staff because of the misuse of power.Remind the staff of the dangers of drinking and driving and stress that anyone who drinks and drives in a company vehicle well be subject to disciplinary procedure.56. What does the underlined word “foreseen” mean?A. foundB. correctedC. acceptedD. predicted57. To prevent misbehavior at the party, the organizer should__________ .A. forbid the participants to drive to the partyB. inform the staff of the dos and don’ts in advanceC. say no to those who want to be served with alcoholD. try to limit the amount of free alcohol and soft drinks58. According to the passage, all managers should __________ .A. provide alcohol to the staff at the partyB. use their power to manage the young staff correctlyC. tell the staff to deal with any problem themselvesD. enjoy themselves without worrying at the party59. Who is this passage mainly for?A. Bosses of companies.B. Students and yong people.C. Anybody at the party.D. The staff of companies.60. This passage mainly refers to __________ .A. how to organize a company partyB. what are happening at the company partyC. how to prevent the risks happening at the company partyD. what to do with the dangers at the company partyBTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In ourcountry today,the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment(抛弃) , but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of ? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.61. This article is mainly about__________.A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts62. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that________ .A. v iolence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. s tudents tend to lose their temper easilyD. t he eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight63.

To figure out how to stop the shouting match.64. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.A. there was a decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. m ore teachers fell better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved65. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to_______.A. complain about problems in school educationB. t each students different strategies for school lifeC. a dvocate teaching conflict management in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceCBirds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says hewonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.66. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______.A. they have to watch out for possible attacksB. their brain hemispheres take turns to restC. the two halves of their brain are differently structuredD. they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions67. What is implied about the example of a bird’s s leeping in front of a mirror?A. An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.B. Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.C. The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.D. A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.68. While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______.A. alert themselves to the approaching enemyB. emerge(浮现) from water now and then to breatheC. be sensitive to the ever-changing environmentD. avoid being swept away by rapid currents69. It can be inferred that ______.A. Birds never sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.B. Inner ducks depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, as often as birdsnapping at the end of the line doC. It is not the first time for scientists to research on birds’ half-brain sleepD. Birds hardly sleep without a companion70. By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______.A. half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weatherB. the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solvedC. most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepersD. half-brain sleep may exist among other speciesPart Ⅳ Writing (30 marks)Section A(5 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS FOR each answer. American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals.Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title: 71. ____________I. ThemeHow charter schools are different from traditional public schoolsII. 72.●73. to operate●having to prove the students are learning●getting 74. to operateIII. 75. _______●not having to obey most laws●being free to decide 76.●being free to choose the goals and decide 77. the students●having 78.●having teachers who are more creativeIV. 79.________● lacking 80.● lacking needed spaceSection B (10 marks)Direction: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The world of journalism can be very exciting. Journalists are on the cutting edge of local and global events. Before you take a big step by becoming a journalist, please make sure you are aware that the climate for newspaper journalists is especially tough right now.Once you are sure that a journalism career is right for you, here's what you need to do. Education comes first. Besides understanding how to write well, a degree in journalism,Enlish, and communication are also beneficial to those wishing to pursue a career in journalism. In addition to helping you gain the necessary knowledge, many universities offer employment services to new graduates. Attending journalism schools, also called journalism colleges, is an investment in your future.Pick a specialty(专业) .jobs in journalism vary greatly, so it is important to decide exactly which path you wish to take. Here are just a few types of journalists: For newspaper reporters, you must be flexible and able to make a quick decision because stories are often fast-breaking. Deadlines are typically tight, so be prepared to write with speed and accuracy. There are also broadcast journalists, investigative reporters, foreign reporters, or sports journalists and so on, which require different skills.You’ve got to have the right stuff.no matter which branch of journalism interests you, there are anumber of necessary qualities that are common to all. Journalists must have a “nose for news”. Good journalists must employ high ethics at all times. Additionally, a fair attitude is required for almost all areas of journalism; these jobs require a neutral(中立的) reporting of facts rather than opinions.Think big, but start small.although inernships during your last two years of college equip you with much experience, it’s highly unlikely that your first job as a journalist will be well-paying, but getting a j ob at a community newspaper or local television station is a good start. Once you’re working in the field, you’ll have the chance to prove yourself and actively seek advancement.81.Why does the author think that attending journalism schools is an investment in your future?(no more than 14 words) 3 marks82.How can a newspaper reporter deal with the problem of tight deadlines?(no more than 6 words) 2 marks83.What necessary qualities must all journalists have?(no more than 11words) 3 marks84.What is the purpose of the passage?(no more than 10 words) 2 marksSection C (15 marks)Directions Write an English composition according to the instructions gtven below in Chinese.1.暑假期间，高中一年级的同学们在老师的带领奔赴湖南省各地农村，进行了为期五天的社会实践活动(social practice activities)，请你用英语简要叙述你在社会实践活动中一次最难忘的事情,并谈谈自己在活动中的收获和感受。

The planet, named OGLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more that 3,000°F. “This is the hottest planet we know about,”says Dr Dimitar Sasselv, a scientist who led the discovery team. “It is hot enough to hav e an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets（细沫）.”The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before, It is in the Milky Way (银河) but it is not in our s olar （太阳的）system. The new planet moves around a star much like o ur sun, however scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-se arching method called transit technique. They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to d im. Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee fly ing in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,”says Sasselov. 49．We can infer from the passage that _______.A．there is iron on the new planetB．we could go to the new planet in winterC．the star could block our view of the new planetD．scientists are studying the weather50．The “transit technique”can ________ .A．help dim the light of a starB．help scientists with a searchlightC．help discover a bee on a planetD．help find a planet moving before its star51．Which is the best title for the passage?A．New planet-searching TechniqueB．New Distant DiscoveryC．Space SearchingD．Dream PlanetIV. 对话填空（5题，满分5分）按照对话内容，从对话后选项中，选出五个能填入对话的最佳答案。

Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AEveryone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret p ersonality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your realfeelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t v ery confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn(顽固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You’re usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up (卷曲),you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re e asily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You al ways say what you think even if it annoys people.56. According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality .A. only in a normal nightB. only when you go to sleepC. only when you refuse to show yourself to the wordD. only when you change sleeping position57. Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person’s personality?A. He or she is always open with others.B. He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.C. He or she is always easily upset.D. He or she tends to believe in others.58. Point out which sentence is used to show the personality of a person who is used to sleeping on his or her stomach?A. He or she is careful not to offend others.B. He or s he doesn’t want to stick to his or her opinion.C. He or she can’t be successful in any business.D. He or she likes to bring others happiness.59.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern worldwe use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they bee weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in monwith use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.66. The passage mainly tells us that ________.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller as time passesD. man will disappear67. What serves as the evidence（证据）that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have bee lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.68. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because ________.A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeD. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on69. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.70. We can infer that _______.A. human beings will bee less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its being worseC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictablePart Ⅳ Writing (45 marks)Section A(10marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS FOR each answer.American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and munity members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, state education agencies, local education-governingmittees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the xx federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title: 71. ____________I. ThemeHow charter schools are different from traditional public schools II. 72.●73. to operate●having to prove the students are learning●getting 74. to operateIII. 75. _______●not having to obey most laws●being free to decide 76.●being free to choose the goals and decide 77. the students●having 78.●having teachers who are more creativeIV. 79.________● lacking 80.● lacking needed spaceSection B (10 marks)Direction: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations (缩写), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many Englishabbreviations are listed in the notice.The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted（代替）with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.The move es after a growing number of national legislators（立法委员）and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve （保存）the purity of the Chinese language."If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars."It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization（全球化）," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the munication University of China, said onTuesday. "It is cultural conservatism（保守主义）。

The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success.In all his games,he’s averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds,quite good for a new star. “Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,”said NBA spokeswoman Cheong San Ching, “That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese.”Yao is not the country’s first player in the NBA:Wang Zhizhi broke down the Dallas Mavericks in November 2003.But Yao’s combination,of modesty and skills make him a favourite back home.33.What’s the direct reason for Xing Tao to join this school basket team?A.He watched an NBA gaveB.He liked baskedballC.He hoped to play for NBAD.He had a dream that he would becomea basketball star.34.How many points did Yao Ming win in his first game in NBA?A.0B.2C.29D.1035. What does the word “letdown”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.failureB.surpriseC.disappointmentD.sadness36.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Middle school students want to play basketball .B.Yao Ming makes NBA closer to China.C.There’ll be no Americans left in the NBAD.There are many new stars from China in the NBA.(C)Ballooning:Transportion of Competition?From earliest times human beings have looked to the sky and wished to soar through it like the birds,Pioneer airmen Wilbur and Orville Wright launched the modern Aviation Age with their motor-powered plane in 1903,but some 140 years earlier daredevils(铤而走险的人) had begun leaving the earth by ballon（气球）,in a different way of flying that still continues today.The first manned balloon took to the sky in France in 1783 after its inventors had safely tested their device(装置) with a sheep,a rooster and a duck as passengers.Though that hot-air-filled ballon remained high up in the air for only 20 minutes and traveled only five miles,within two years ballonists had traversed (横越；横跨)the 30-mile-wide English Channel .In 1793 the first balloon went up in America,a hydrogen-filled (充满氢气的)device whose take-off was observed by George Washington himself.Once airplanes had replaced balloons as the principal(主要的) means of air transportation,balloonists concentrated on settingheight,distance and duration(持续) records.In the 1970s and 1980s sereral transoceanic(横越海洋的)records were set and broken.These achievements were make possible because of new techniques for keeping balloons---now generally helium(氦)-filled-at steady temperatures.But flying around the globe remained the final,most difficult target until March 1999.After a 19-day flight,Bertrand Piecard of Switzerland and Brian Jones of England landed in Egypt,having flown 29,056 miles to circle the globe.At times they flew at more than 36,000 feet and over 114 miles per hour.37.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.People began flying in balloon in 1783.B.Hunman beings have always had the desire to fly.C.Once a method for transportation,ballooning is now mainly a sportD.New technique made it possible for balloons to go higher and farther.38.The purpose of this passage is maily to provide____________.A.a comparision between airplanes and balloonsrmation about the life of Steve FossertC.a short history of ballooningD.a list of ballooning records39.The first manned ballon flight was_____________.A.in AmercaB.over a field in FranceC.over the English ChannelD.across the Atlantic40.This passage suggests that flying in a balloon has always required(需要)__________.A.luckB.moneyC.courageD.fear41.In this passage launched means__________.A.set afloatB.startedC.caused argument overD.refused (D)Crossroads InternationalHow does Crossroads work?Crossroads is a resource(物资) network.We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them.We collect those goods and give them in the welfare(福利) places in Hong Kong,mainland China ,elsewhere in Asia,Eastern Europe and Africa.So Crossroads is just that:a Crossroads between need and resouce.Who do we help?The welfare agencies(机构)we help do not run on large budgets(预算).They ate grass.Roots group who have seen a need and tried to meet it.They can’t get the job done without back-up,though,so our job is to help them do their work.Our warehouse(仓库)is full of goods,from computers to high chairs,clothing to books,stationery (文具)to medical provision（供应品）,cupboards to dining set.They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with what we have.How do we operate?Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget.We do not buy the goods we send.They are donated.(捐献)Similarly,rather than raising money for shipping,we ask transport companies do donate their services.Nobody in our organization recieves a salary.Even our full-time workers work on voluntary basis.Those that donate goods and services:* Factories * Hospitals* Hotels * Schools* Householders * Transport Companies* Offices * Other CharitiesOne resource that we are always in need of is people.While we receive large quentities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them,we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping!What can I do?We are always in need of people.We have a lot of different jobs.If you are volunteering regularly,we can offer work in some of the following categories(类别),some of the time.You are welcome to number your top three choices and we Will do our best to match them.* Clothing categorization(分类) * Toy categorization* Book categorizaion * Househould goods categorization * Electrical goods categorization * Medical categorization* Furniture handling * Driving* Office work * Money-raisingWhere to find us?All volunteer work is done at our warehouse.Our warehouse hours: Tues---Sat, 10am-----5:30pmPostal Address:16 Man Tong,Silvermine Bay,Lantau Island,Hong KongOffice details:Ph: 984 9309, 27409657;

People in poor areas can’t get help from the Crossroads if they need______.A.toys and booksB.children’s beds and computer destksC.fresh water and foodD.refrigerators and washing machines44.The purpose of this brochure is mainly to __________.A.let people know what Crossroads International isB.call on people to donate more goodsC.look for volunteers to work for CrossroadsD.tell people what Crossroads can provide45. From the above brochure,we can conclude（推断） that_______.A.Crossroads doesn’t give goods directly to the people who need themB.people who work at the Crossroads get low pay from itC.you can do whatever you like if you offer help at the CrossroadsD.Crossroads has collected more goods than neededDTired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking. He wrote some well-organized nonsense (something untrue) on the blackboard. The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions. This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers. The story is repeated in support of the Project for EnhancingEffective Learning (PEEL).PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else. Students’lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity.Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works. Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they conflict with scientific explanations that are learned later. In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching. Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own. They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own.Clearly what was needed was to make students aware of their learning process, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with. On the surface, a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking. But there are some meaningful changes. Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment. The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected. This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress.The PEEL researchers rejected the idea of numerical (数字的) comparisons between PEEL and non-PEEL classes. They decided that their experiment would be proved valuable if the experiences of children and teachers in different classes using PEEL methods were similar. So far, all teachers and students who have worked with PEEL methods agree that their approach to teaching and learning has really changed. The students are far more ready to question what is presented to them, while the teachers are convinced that the traditional methods are not good enough.46. The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______.A. show that students didn’t think about what they learntB. prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEELC. test students’ general knowledge about geographyD. encourage students to ask more questions in class47. Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?A. To ensure teachers do scientific work.B. To help students get higher test scores.C. To find the gap between what is taught and learnt.D. To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals.48. An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is thatin the PEEL classes ______.A. the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanationsB. students always have their own knowledge of the subjectC. more attention is paid to the students’ own ideasD. the best explanations are given by the students49. The researchers decided their methods would be proved right if ______.A. the results could be confirmed by numberB. both kinds of classes had the same teachersC. all the classes were taught by PEEL methodsD. most PEEL classes reported similar experiences50.What is Damien Hynes？A. He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in AustraliaB. He is a geography teacher and a researcher in AustraliaC. He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in AustriaD.He is a high school geography teacher in Austria.五．书面表达（满分20分）目前越来越多的中学生使用电子词典。

As a child, she had a natural love for the outdoors and animals. When Jane was about eight she read the Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle series and, in love with Africa, dreamed of traveling to work with the animals.Finally, at age 23, she left for Nairobi, Kenya. There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Seymour Bazett Leakey, who offered her a job at the local natural history museum. She worked there for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to stud) wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees.In December 1958, Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition (考察), securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an older chimpanzee named David Greybeard, began to allow Jane to watch him. As a high ranking male of the chimpanzee community, his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe. It was David Greybeard whom Jane first witnessed using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her observation. He wrote back, “Now we must redefine ‘tool,’ and ‘man,’ or accept chimpanzees as humans.”Jane continued to work in the field and, with Leakey’s help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962. At Cambridge University, she found herself at odds with senior scientists over the methods she used — how she had named the chimpanzees rather than using the more common numbering system, and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities. She further upset those in power at the university when she wrote her first book, My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees, aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience. The book was wildly popular, and her academic peers were outraged. Dr. Jane Goodall earned her Ph.D．on February 9, 1966, and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years.5．What can we infer from the passage?A．Jane was the first to discover chimpanzees use tools.B．The journey to Kenya rooted Jane’s deep love for animals.C．Dr. Leakey easily raised funds from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.D．Jane’s work at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve went along smoothly.6．What is the academic peers’ attitude towards Jane’s first book?A．Extremely puzzled. B．Genuinely pleased.C．Really angry. D．Truly sensitive.7．What does the underlined sentence imply in paragraph 5?A．Jane’s study of chimpanzees received no support from scientists.B．Jane’s method inspired more scientists to make further discoveries.C．Jane’s achievements quickly attracted attention from senior scientists.D．Senior scientists disagreed with Jane’s method in observing chimpanzees.8．What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A．Passion and hard work can make a difference in scientific research.B．Cooperation is the key to making significant discoveries.C．Challenging senior scientists is a must in gaining fame.D．High energy counts in achieving great success.It was a red-letter day in the history of medicine —“Target Zero Day”, May 8th, 1980, marking the complete removal of smallpox, a terrifying disease. It was untreatable but, luckily, it turned out that vaccination (接种疫苗) provided good protection — and that mass immunization (免疫) could wipe out the smallpox virus by blocking its spread.According to legend, vaccination was invented by Dr. Edward Jenner. Jenner showed that healthy children vaccinated with cowpox, a mild infection of cattle, could not catch smallpox. He was supposedly inspired by Comment from a local milkmaid, but there is evidence that the idea came from a medical friend, John Fewster, who had experimented with cowpox. Nevertheless, Jenner deserves credit for introducing vaccination into the medical mainstream with his paper published in 1798.In 1966,160 years after the prediction that vaccination would clean off the disease, the World Health Organization launched its Smallpox Eradication Programme. This heroic 11-year drive was directed by two American public health doctors, DA Henderson and Bill Foege. Their hardships were enormous. One WHO official even promised to eat a tyre if smallpox was removed; Henderson promised to send him the tyre and wished him good appetite. But Henderson and Foege’s hard work paid off—three years after the last smallpox case was informed (to make sure no outbreaks had been missed) Target Zero Day was declared.40 years on, why should we remember Target Zero Day? First, to celebrate victory of preventative medicine and freedom from a cruel disease. Then, we must remember the victims of smallpox. It had previously killed one in 12 worldwide. In 1914, a Canadian professor warned against forgetting smallpox, which was fast disappearing from North America. It went on to kill at least another 250 million people — three times more than both world wars combined. Target Zero Day also reminds us of undefeated infections, including polio, measles, malaria, and of course the coronavirus Covid-19. Le t’s recognize Target Zero Day for what it is: a milestone in world history and a monument to the art of the possible.9．What inspired Jenner to invent the vaccination?A．A medical friend. B．A local milkmaid. C．Cattle. D．Children. 10．What is the writer’s purpose of mentioning the WHO official’s promise?A．To introduce the support from the WHO. B．To stress the importance of good appetite. C．To suggest the difficulty in removing smallpox. D．To show his determination to carry on the drive.11．What message does the text convey?A．A promise made is a debt unpaid. B．A trouble shared is a trouble halved. C．Something is better than nothing. D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.Conformity involves changing your behaviour to “fit in” or “go along” with th e people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is somethin g that happens regularly in our social world. Sometimes we’re aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldn’t.There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When she attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible.Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we aren’t quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people.12．What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?A．Actually it is rare for us to conform.B．Blind conformity should be criticized.C．Sometimes people tend to conform unconsciously.D．Conformity means changing your behaviour reluctantly.13．Which of the following is a case of conformity?A．Joining a certain organization.B．Following the ongoing fashion.C．Sharing something personal with others.D．Giving up your creative ideas cautiously.14．When are we most likely to conform according to the text?A．When we are at a loss.B．When we are rejected.C．When we feel threatened.D．When we feel uncomfortable.15．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone.B．Conformity is linked to the size of the group.C．Conformity is a natural response to challenges.D．Conformity isn’t related to individual differences.二、七选五Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it.

When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.2. Text ClawIt is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction felt in the finger, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use.17．So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.3. Eye StrainDo you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might.18．Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.4. Text NeckSimilar to the claw, text neck---discomfort in the neck and spine happens when you spenda long time looking down at your smart phone.19．Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone---- and bending it back to an upright position can help reduce the risk of text neck.5. Pedestrian safetyPedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary.20．A．We should taking breaks for a while.B．The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.C．Remember that pedestrian safety is more important than smart phone.D．The habit may lead to people requiring medical spine care at a younger age.E.To avoid injury or worse, put your phone away until you’ve reached a safe spot.F.Any specific motor activity can cause pain in the tendons (筋) and muscles when done repeatedly.G.Any activity that requires active use of your eyes---driving and reading included---can cause eye tiredness.三、完形填空A heavy snow hit my neighborhood the other day. I had recently agreed to be the house’s groundskeeper, which meant I was21 with shoveling(铲)the inches of snow that covered the driveway.I had to stay in the house during the 22 ,so I was actually pretty happy to head23 After shoveling for about an hour, muscles in my arms and legs which I 24 used due to my busy schedules started to burn. By the time I finished shoveling, I realized that I gained nearly the same amount of 25 that I can get from biking.

Not exercising enough can 31 diseases like heart disease, bone disease, and depression.And yet, compared with going to gyms, shoveling snow was quite 32 .Besides, it didn’t take too much willpower(意志力)and I just needed to 33 the driveway at myown pace. I can just do some daily tasks like shoveling for exercise in the neighborhood in my spare time 34 driving to a gym.People pay much money for gym memberships and classes to 35 extra energy . So why not 36 paying the fitness industry to exercise and 37 physical fitness with such kind of daily chores? Surely, they’re better off 38 that money and putting the energy to practical use.A neighborhood can have a Facebook group where people in need of help can 39 things on it. Then, people who want to exercis e can help them out. It’s a win-win situation.
