AHave you ever felt that you wa nt more friends? Have you found that you don’t know how to make friends? Don’t worry. It’s easier than it looks.Start with small actions. If you’re uncomfortable with long conversations with people, start by just saying “hi” and asking what the person is doing. Even if you do more listening than talking in the beginning, people will usually still like you. When it comes to conversations, remember “F.O.R.”. It stands for family, occupation(职业) and recreation(休闲). You are most likely to be asked about these three topics when you meet someone new. Most people feel comfortable talking about the three topics. The great thing is that you also can communicate with someone new in these three areas.Honesty is the best policy. In friendship, “honesty” is the fundamental quality that one must have. One should always be honest with his or her friends. Don’t laugh at people’s fault. Praise them honestly and openly. Say you are sorry if you hurt your friend.Give more than you take. Be there when they need you, encourage them; we all need encouragement now and then. Encourage their dreams. Life seems meaningless without them. Wish your friends good luck. Examine your purpose before you “help out”. Love an d never forget them.1. The author thinks making friends is _________.A. difficultB. easyC. funnyD. interesting2. What does the underlined word “fundamental” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. basic.B. beautiful.C. comfortable.D. meaningful.3. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. Where to Meet Friends?B. How to Make Friends?C. What Is a Friend Indeed?D. Everyone Needs FriendsBThere was a man playing the piano in a bar. He was a good piano player and always performed in this bar. People came in just to hear him play. But one night, a customer told him that he didn’t want to hear him just play the piano any more. He wanted him to sing a song.The man said, “I don’t sing.”But the customer was persistent (固执的). He told the bar manager, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want that man to sing!”The manager shouted across the room, “If you want to get paid, sing a song. Our customers are asking you to sing!”So he did. He sang a song. A piano player who had never sung in public did so for the first time. And everyone was surprised by his song —“Mona, Mona Lisa”. He got lots of applause (掌声) that night.He had such a talent for singing, but he just had been sitting on his talent for the past years! If without such a chance, he may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. However, now he had become one of the best-known singers in America.You, too, have skills and abilities. Maybe your “talent” is not as great as the s inger above, but it may be better than you think! And with effort, most skills can be improved. So, in your life, you should be brave enough to try doing different things and find out what talents you really have!4. Why did the man start to sing?A. Because he wanted to make more money.B. Because the bar manager said he liked his song.C. Because the manager asked him to sing at the request of a customer.D. Because he wanted to show everyone that he had a talent for singing.5. What do you think of the bar manager?A. Strict.B. Rude.C. Patient.D. Kind.6. What do the underlined words “he just had been sitting on his talent” probably mean?A. He didn’t discover his talent.B. He didn’t sing.C. He had no talent for singing.D. He hated to sing.CI came to work in New York about three years ago. Not long after I came to the city I learnt a good lesson.I'm good at making friends. Soon after I came to New York, I made some very good friends. Loving parties, I often invited my colleagues and friends over. We often had fun together till late night.

The police came, and many of my neighbors came, too. It was an unhappy night.However, some days later, I found something very unbelievable. My neighbor Sam threw a big birthday party in his apartment. They sang and danced till midnight. But nobody went to ask them to stop the party. Feeling confused (疑惑的), I went to Sam the next morning and asked him why he could throw a party for his friends while I couldn't. He didn't say anything. Instead, he took me to a notice board in the hall of the building. It said, "My dear neighbors, Sam living on the sixth floor will throw a party tonight. About twenty people will come. We'll sing and dance. The party will be over around midnight. We may make some noise tonight. Please accept my apology."He apologized even before the party began. People felt respected in this way.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. ”—Albert Einstein It’s no secret that curiosity makes learning more effective and 1 . Curious students not only ask questions, but also 2 seek out the answers. Without 3 , Sir Isaac Newton would have never put forward the laws of physics, Alexander Fleming probably woul dn’t have 4 penicillin (青霉素),and Marie Curie’s pioneering research on radioactivity may not exist.Curiosity is just as 5 as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity 6 the brain for learning. As we all known, we’re more likely to 7 what we’ve learned when the subject matter interests us. Actually, curiosity also helps us learn information we don’t consider 8 or important. So if a teacher is able to 9 students’ curiosity, they’ll be better prepared to learn things that they would normally consider boring or difficult. For instance, if a student struggles with 10 , personalizing math problem to match their specific interest could help them 11 remember how to go about solving similar math problems in the future.However, scientists think that there are still a few things that remain 12 about curiosity’s role in learning. For one thing, scientists have yet to determine its long-term effects. For instance, if a studen t’s curiosity is aroused at the 13 of a school day, will it help them better absorb information all day long? Another thing the 14 are keen to investigate iswhy some people are more 15 curious than others, and which factors most influence how curious we are.1. A. enjoyable B. impossible C. difficult D. avoidable2. A. lazily B. actively C. dependently D. negatively3. A. energy B. curiosity C. technology D. secret4. A. invented B. discovered C. heard D. learned5. A. important B. easy C. sensitive D. heavy6. A. blames B. searches C. begs D. prepares7. A. remember B. dislike C. forgive D. abandon8.

【全国百强校】广东省湛江第一中学2015-2016学年高二上学期第二次考试英语试题(原卷版)

广东省湛江第一中学2015-2016学年高二上学期第二次考试英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答題卡上将该选项涂黑。

APut your car keys away and forget about your travel pass --- it’s time to do a bit of walking.National Walking Month is organized every May by Living Streets, an organization that campaigns for the rights and the needs of pedestrians, so the organization is previously known as the Pedestrians’ Association. The association’s aim is to make streets safe, att ractive and enjoyable spaces for people to live, work, shop and play. By putting people (rather than vehicles) first, Living Streets wants to create streets and spaces where people feel happier, healthier and more sociable.The annual campaign gives participants a great opportunity to experience the many virtues of walking. These include the physical health benefits of becoming fitter; the environmental advantages of not using vehicles; the delight of local discoveries --- seeing more of your local areas on foot; the enjoyment of walking with other people, whether family, friends or work colleagues and finally the stress relief that comes from walking --- walking can clear your head.Walk to School Week, 18 to 22 May, is part of the month’s activities and its aim is to encourage parents to send children to school on foot, rather than take them in the car or let them use public transport. The movement was started in 1995 with only five participating schools and now two decades later, more than one million children take part.Similarly, there is Walk to Work Week, 11 to 15 May, where grown-ups are encouraged to walk. In the morning, getting off the bus a stop early or parking a few streets away is a good way to add more steps to the daily total. And during the working day, after having lunch at the desks or in the canteen, take a walk and get some fresh air. Walk home with your workmates and chat away about everything under the sun but work!1.What’s the purpose of Living Streets?A. To let people keep away from vehicles.B. To build safer walkways for pedestrians.C. To help people enjoy walking in the street and enjoy life.D. To make people aware of environmental pollution.2.Paragraph 3 is intended to show that walking is __________.A. so interestingB. very relaxingC. perfectly safeD. highly beneficial3.What can we learn from Walk to School Week?A. It is organized by the government.B. It is held before Walk to Work Week.C. It has developed rapidly over the last 20 years.D. It encourages students to walk to school alone.4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?A. An introduction to Walk to Work Week.B. A nationwide health movement.C. The influence of worki ng day.D. National Walking Month’s history.BWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes "the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to learn from history." Perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this.The second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We can not even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for ourchildren. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.5 . In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _______________.A. it makes the current political situation go smoothlyB. it helps us realize the importance of historical eventsC. it helps us understand why things are the way they areD. it helps people accept the present situation where they live6. Some historical figures(人物) are mentioned in the last paragraph to show ______________.A. people can be inspired to do good, while also learning to fight against evilB. people may also learn from bad historical figuresC. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievementsD. today’s people can also achieve what they achieved7. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?A. How to teach history effectively.B. Some negative reasons for studying history.C. How to get more people to study history.D. Some bad historical figures.8. The main purpose of this passage is to ____________.A. inspire the parents to teach their children historyB. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study historyD. introduce the writer' s own way of teaching history,CWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it's not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps ( 处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, closefriend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy (礼貌) to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don't get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to bypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.9. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that ____________.A. it makes people more confidentB. it can pick up people' s spiritsC. it can help rid the cruelty in the worldD. it can help people get on well with others10. The ph rase “busting a gut" in the third paragraph can be replaced by __________.A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard11. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to __________.A. talk about his own understanding of humorB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeD. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life12. What is the author' s attitude towards the present world?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Satisfied.D. Indifferent.DAmazon. com has received a patent(专利) right to send its products to customers by drone planes. The company is the largest US-based online seller of products by mail and other services. Now, the company has received apatent for its planned drone delivery system.In March, federal officials allowed Amazon to test its drone delivery plan. But even with a patent and the ability of drones to make deliveries, it does not appear the company will put its new delivery system in place any time soon.The US Patent Office published the document, which describes Amazon’s plans to use GPS to deliver products to homes and to wherever people are. The drone will use a customer’s mobile device --- usually a smartphone ---to avoid hitting people or buildings and to find a secure area to land. The company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes after people order them on its website.However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is worried about the safety. Although it allowed Amazon to test the system, the agency said the operators must be able to see the planes. That greatly limits the delivery area.Loretta Alkalay is a professor at the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York. Although Amazon is not yet offering drone delivery, Professor Alkalay says it will not be long before it does. She says there are worries that the drones will hit buildings or people, or that the products and drones will be stolen or damaged by people on purpose. But she says that is because many people believe the drones would only deliver the products to the front door of a house. “However, it is possible that homes will one day have special area on their roofs designed to rec eive product deliveries,” she adds.13.What is special about the new delivery system?A. It can deliver heavy products by plane.B. It uses planes without human operators.C. It can delivery many products at a time.D. It is much safer than other delivery ways.14. The underlined word “secure” in Paragraph 3 means “__________”.A. safeB. largeC. specialD. empty15.After reading the passage, we can infer that FAA__________A. doesn’t really like AmazonB. totally support the drone delivery systemC. doesn’t think Amazon should get the patentD. doubts about the drone delivery system第二节(共5小题;毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AChina news, Beijing, June 5 —The Horizon Research Group conducted a survey about Chinese parentsand their children in May last year and this year. Based on a random sampling method, the survey,done in May last year, investigated about 1,095 people living in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Jinzhong, and Luzhou. All these people were aged between 18 and 60. Thesurvey shows that 55.5% of the parents did not know who their children’s best friends were.Fathers, in particular, knew even less about their children than mothers, as the survey showsonly 33.8% of fathers knew who their children’s best friends were while 50.8% of mothers didso, China Youth Daily reported.Parents with little education were less concerned with their children’s life, or whom theirchildren played with. The survey shows that among parents that graduated from primary schoolsor without any educat ional background, only 33.1% knew who their children’s best friends were.Among parents that had received middle school education, the related proportion reached 45.5%.This y ear’s survey was also based on random sampling. In May 2007, the Horizon ResearchGroup investigated some 1,456 families in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Xi’an,Chengdu and Harbin. The survey shows that children under the age of 12 play for less time withtheir playmates than their parents did when they were young.The survey also shows that most children at present spend only 21.9% of their time playingwith their friends, while their parents spent 36.8% of their time with their playmates when theywere young. Nowadays, most children spend more time with their grandparents or babysitters thanwith their parents.1. The article tells us that the two surveys show the following aspects EXCEPT that ______.A. parents at present spend less time playing with their children than with the oldergeneration.B. some parents do not know their children’s best friend s.C. educated parents are more concerned about their children’s life than those with littl eeducation.D. parents at present are concerned little about their children’s life.2. The passage can be found in _________.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a science journalD. a school book3. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Parents need to take their responsibilities for their children.B. Parents should provide better conditions for their children.C. Parents don’t play an important part in the growth of their children now.D. Parents should let their children have more friends.BHere a re some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder:Recite As You StudyReciting — saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help y ou to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.Take Fuller NotesNotes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.Study the MiddleThe best time to review is soon after you've learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of th e lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.Sleep on ItStudy before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It's easier to remember material you've just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you've fallen asleep.Combine Memory and UnderstandingThere are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables(乘法表), telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by memorizing, while ideas are best learned by understanding.The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again. 4.You can notice your mistakes by ________.A. saying things out aloudB. taking notesC. studying the middleD. sleeping on it5.When taking notes, you should ________ to better help you with reading.A. underline important notesB. write notes in your own wordsC. take down every detailD. write as quickly as possible6.The writer advises you to ________ as it is easier for you to remember ma terial.A. study after a period of activityB. do some exercise after studyingC. study as soon as you get upD. study before going to sleep7.Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.C. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.CDo you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me,it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a lower price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24%of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving store discounts or free gifts.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!8. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised toA. give two examplesB. introduce the topicC. compare different opinionsD. get answers from readers9. What does showrooming mean in the text?A. Trying in shops and buying online.B. Showing products in a room.C. Buying something in a store.D. Shopping on the Internet.10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Online shops will disappear.B. Free gifts will surely promote sales.C. Shops need necessary changes.D. Shops will be replaced by online shops.11. The author's attitude towards showrooming is .A. criticalB. negativeC. casualD. supportiveDMy oldest child, Emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. These days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: What is she going to do after graduation?The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in STEM —science, technology, engineering and mathematics —areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”.But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve he r well over the course of her life.”Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not avocational(职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contributionto the world and how happy she is in it.12. The author’s friends and family_________.A. are worried about Emma’s safetyB. have been worrying about the floodC. are concerned about Emma’s futureD. are worried about the job market13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The number of the graduates is increasing.B. STEM graduates can be better employees.C. STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand.D. More and more graduates like to do a part-time job.14. Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities?A. Because she is interested in it.B. Because her mother told her to.C. Because it is increasingly popular.D. Because she wants further education.15. According to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_________.A. it should be among the STEMB. it should be fashionable and interestingC. it should allow a good job and a high salaryD. it should bring achievements and happiness第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AIt's a good time for a theme park, according to a report. There was a four percent growth in the number of visitors to theme parks in 2014 compared with 2013. There were a total of 223,450,000 visits to the top 25 theme parks in 2014. But even extreme enthusiasts may not be able to get to every park on the top-25 list. Here are six theme parks that are less known to Americans. But they're truly worth a visit.Ocean ParkHong Kong's Ocean Park is a marine mammal park, animal theme park and amusement park. It came in at No.13 on the top-25 list.Lotte WorldLocated in Seoul, South Korea, Lotte World is famous for having the world's largest indoor theme park together with an outdoor theme park. It's also home to South Korea's largest ice skating rink. It was ranked No.14 on the top-25 list.EverlandAlso in South Korea, Everland is located in Gyeonggi-Do. It includes a zoo and a water park and was ranked No.16.Europa ParkEurope Park, located in Rust, is the largest theme park in Germany and one of four in Europe to make the top-25 list. It got No.21.Tivoli GardensWhen you take into consideration that Tivoli Gardens is closed a few months every year, its spot at No.23 is impressive. Located in Copenhagen, it's famous for its fairy-tale atmosphere andantique roller coaster.De EftelingDe Efteling is a fantasy-themed amusement park in Katsheuvel, the Netherlands. The attractions are based on elements from ancient myths and legends, fairy tales, fables and folklore. It was ranked No.24.1. Compared with the year2013, in 2014 _____.A. more theme parks became availableB. admission fees to theme parks became higherC. more people went to visit theme parksD. there were more extreme theme park enthusiasts2.

It doesn't have many exciting activities.D. It has nothing in common with De Efteling.BHello. I'm Jan from Mrs. Lake's class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally,people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!4. What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?A. Giving names to the highways.B. Drawing pictures of highways.C. Picking up litter along the roads.D. Putting up signs near the roads.5. What should the students do first if they want to join the program?A. Pick a spot to care for.B. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.C. Write a letter to their parents.D. Call Mrs. Lake next week.6. What is the purpose of this speech?A. To encourage students to join the program.B. To introduce the traffic system.C. To show drivers how to drive safely.D. To tell a story about adopting a highway.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Adopt-a-PetB. V olunteers on RoadsC. Ways to Protect the EnvironmentD. Adopt-a-HighwayCUnderstanding one's own history is important for young people's learning and development. Students are often asked to write a story about crown family's history or about a special person in their family. But too rarely do students focus on the history of their own community or their own people, in a way that helps them to understand why they find themselves in a particular place.When people understand their own history, they are able to grapple with the influence of the social structures that sometimes limit the possibilities in their lives. Taking this approach opens the door for young people to be managers of their own learning and development as they understand why they find themselves where they are.Many people I have been talking to about this issue agree that not only schools but also public bodies and families have failed to educate young people about their own history. And I know from my own experience how difficult it was for my father to talk about his family's experience in 1944. This may be a reflection of the sadness that people feel about that history and not wanting to make it a burden on their young people. But in today's situation, those I spoke with now clearly see that as a mistake.If our society is ever going to find a way to properly deal with the influence of our own history, including what has happened to our Native American, African-American and Latino friends, our neighbors' schools must step up to help young people understand their own stories. Families and related social bodies must do the same.8. According to Paragraph 1, a good knowledge of our own history can help us____.A. become good at writing storiesB. make our influence on the society strongerC. gain a good understanding of our present situationD. understand the importance of learning and development9. What does the underlined phrase “grapple with” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. determineB. recoverC. exerciseD. manage10.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that the author's family's experience in 1944 was_____.A. harmfulB. painfulC. interestingD. surprising11.The passage mainly encourages us to _______.A. write our own storiesB. understand the importance of historyC. learn our own historyD. have a proper attitude towards historyDScientists have never known for sure whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded animals, like mammals and birds, or cold-blooded, like reptiles and fish. A recent study shows that in fact many dinosaurs might not have belonged to either category but instead have fallen somewhere in the middle.Warm-blooded animals have bodies that are able to make their own heat. Their body temperatures stay about the same whether it is hot or cold outside. Cold-blooded animals can notmake their own heat, so their body temperatures depend on how warm the outside temperature is. Warm-blooded animals have much more active lifestyles than cold-blooded ones.When scientists first discovered the bones of ancient dinosaurs in the 1800s, they were sure the huge creatures must have been slow. But as scientists found more bones of smaller, quicker dinosaurs, like Velociraptor, they realized that the creatures may have been much more active than they had thought.A team of biologists began to examine. They knew that warm-blooded animals grow faster than cold-blooded ones. The researcher realized that they could determine whether a dinosaur had been warm-or cold-blooded by finding its growth rate.The scientists examine the growth rings in bones from 21 different dinosaur species. The width of the growth rings showed how much the dinosaurs grew each year, much like the rings in the tree trunk do.“Our results showed that dinosaurs had growth rates that were actually not characteristic of warm-blooded or cold-blooded animals,” said Brian Enqui st, a scientist on the research team. “They didn't act like mammals or birds, nor did they act like reptiles or fish.” Instead, dinosaurs fell somewhere in between. Scientists called the middle-of-the-road creatures “mesotherms”.Being mesotherms gave dinosaurs many advantages. They were faster and stronger than reptiles that had to rely on the sun for warmth. Being somewhat cold-blooded had its benefits too. Cold-blooded animals burn energy more slowly. So they need much less food to live than warm-blooded animals. “It is doubtful that a lion the size of T-rex could eat enough to survive,” explains John Grady, another biologist on the research team. By being mesothermic, the dinosaurs could be both fast and big.12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The advantage of cold-blooded animals.B. The disadvantages of warm-blooded animals.C. The differences between warm-and cold-blooded animals.D. The advantages of both warm-and cold-blooded animals.13. It can be inferred that mesotherms grow _______.A. as slowly as cold-blooded animalsB. as fast as warm-blooded animalsC. slower than cold-blooded animalsD. slower than warm-blooded animals14. A lion is mentioned in the last paragraph to stress that ________.A. dinosaurs moved very fastB. dinosaurs had to rely on the sun for warmthC. dinosaurs are large animalsD. dinosaurs needed less food to survive15. The text is mainly about ________.A. how dinosaurs disappearedB. the growth areas of dinosaursC. whether dinosaurs were warm or cold-blooded animalsD. the appearance and behavior of dinosaurs第二节(共5小题;毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. ” —AlbertEinsteinIt’s no secret that curiosity makes learning more ef fective and 1 . Curious students not only ask questions, but also 2 seek out the answers. Without 3 , Sir Isaac Newton would have never put forward the laws of physics, Alexander Fleming probably woul dn’t have 4 penicillin (青霉素),and Marie Curie’s pioneering research on radioactivity may not exist.Curiosity is just as 5 as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity 6 the brain for learning. As we all known, we’re more likely to 7 what we’ve learned when the subject matter interests us. Actually, curiosity also helps us learn information we don’t consider 8 or important. So if a teacher is able to 9 students’ curiosity, they’ll be better prepared to learn things that they would normally consider boring or difficult. For instance, if a student struggles with 10 , personalizing math problem to match their specific interest could help them 11 remember how to go about solving similar math problems in the future.However, scientists think that there are still a few things that remain 12 about curiosity’s role in learning. For one thing, scientists have yet to determine its long-term effects. For instance, if a studen t’s curiosity is aroused at the 13 of a school day, will it help them better absorb information all day long? Another thing the 14 are keen to investigate is why some people are more 15 curious than others, and which factors most influence how curious we are.1.

What will the visitors do when they come to see visit a family?A.The way they dress and style their hair must be from the 80s.B.They must leave their cell phones at home.C.They will put their cell phones outside before entering the room.D.They can use the phone prepared by the family.6.

The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn't love me any more. He just cares about his busi ness ...not me”.One day, she was about to take a shower when he stopped her at the door, “Let me take it first, okay?”“Why not me first?” she asked.“I am tired, honey, you take it later, okay?”She was entirely unhappy.One day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. A few words came into her sight. Reading them, she burst into tears. It was his diary:Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said to her, “I was exhausted”. She was unhappy. In her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but what could I do? I was not as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, and there was only one shower in the bathroom. It was so cold to take a shower in such a cold winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every day I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, even if it was only 1℃.Now I cannot give her a comfortable life, take her to good restaurants, or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love.8. Why did the couple move to the small apartment?A.Both of them were out of work.B.They wanted to live a better life.C.The man could take better care of his business.D.They were too poor to live in the former house.9.

What's the best title of the passage?A.A Love Story B.1℃ LoveC.A Suffering Couple D.Fight for the BathroomDA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same l ectures and were told to use their usual note­taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applyingthe concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long­term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.12. More and more students favor laptops for note­taking because they can ______.A.write more notes B.digest concepts betterC.get higher scores D.understand lectures better13. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be ______.A.skillful B.mindlessC.thoughtful D.tireless14. The author of the passage aims to______.A.examine th e importance of long­term memoryB.stress(强调) the benefit of taking notes by handC.explain the process of taking notesD.promote the use of laptops15. The passage is likely to appear in ______.A.a newspaper advertisement B.a physics textbookC.a science magazine D.a finance report第二节(共5小题;毎小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ASusan was born as the ninth child in a Catholic family. She suffered from learning disabilities ever since her birth because of her mother’s poor health.School was difficult for Susan and she was bullied because of her different behaviors. Her siblings, who were much older, had life experiences that were unknown to their little sister. From the time of her birth, Susan was a screamer. The only really safe place that she would use as a repeat was her bedroom. There she would hang posters of her musical idols on the wall and sing popular music into a hairbrush that she pretended was a microphone.One by one the siblings moved away from home and then Susan’s father died. This left her alone with an aging mother and a cat. The siblings accused her mother of not expecting more out of Susan. She had seen many professionals and remembered hearing the word ―borderline‖ but didn’t know what it meant. She tried volunteer work. Her best state of mind, however, was found when she was singing and so she would regularly join others in karaoke or pubs where she could show her skills and receive appreciation from the crowd.When Susan announced at Christmas that she was planning to compete in the Britain’s Got Talent contest, her siblings tried to discourage her. It was a wonder that she was even able to do the audition considering the troubles she faced just physically getting to the right place.―The Woman I Was Born to Be‖ is a beautiful story written in the simple but humorous voice of the author, Susan Boyle. She tells her story from birth to the present in an interesting and educational manner. The writing is supplemented by photos from her albums.I love this book! In fact, I read the whole thing in one day!There is something in the stories that not only teaches the reader but also inspires us to reach for our dreams — no matter how impossible they may seem to be!26. This passage should be ______.A. a news reportB. a biographyC. a book reviewD. an introduction27. When Susan was young, ______.A. her mother died of an illnessB. her siblings liked her very muchC. she was fond of musicD. she was envied at school28. According to the passage, which was NOT true?A. Susan’s mother expected too much out of her.B. Susan tried doing a lot of volunteer work.C. Susan’s siblings tried to stop her from competing in the Britain’s Got Talent contest.D. Susan’s performances were well received by the customers in pubs.29. The book ―The Woman I Was Born to Be‖ ______.A. is always a best-sellerB. is written in a serious voiceC. is full of sad storiesD. contains some photos of Susan30. What does the author think of Susan Boyle?A. Pitiful and selfless.B. Shy and passive.C. Great and generous.D. Determined and inspiring.BFollowing some of the tips for green living helps save our planet. All of these involve just a few changes to our daily habits.Just walk and limit the use of your car. One of the poster images of pollution is our vehicles. It burns fuel. It is not as efficient as we hope it could be, and we use it every single day. To lessen the effects of the air pollution caused by our vehicles, we should limit their use. If we can walk to our destination then just let us go. Not only do we lessen our carbon dioxide emissions, but we also get a good exercise out of it.Use a laptop instead of a computer desktop. Laptops are more energy efficient compared to their bigger counterparts. A laptop is generally 50 percent more efficient in using electricity. Aside from that there are other benefits of a laptop. It is portable so you can work anywhere you like and that you get powerful features without the large size of desktop units.Turn off the faucet while you are brushing your teeth. It is always a better idea to use a glass when we are brushing our teeth and not to just let the faucet keep on running. Therefore,there is less water to waste while we are cleaning our pearly whites. Simply turn off the faucet when you are not using it.Make good use of natural light. We have a great and natural lamp —the sun, and we should learn how to take full advantage of it during daytime. So instead of turning on our lights or lampseven if it is still not evening, we should pull up the drapes and let the natural light come in from the windows.These are just some of the best tips for green living, but of course there are still many of these tips if you just search for them.

The journey is a matt er of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn’t in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune, for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my o wn two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced –and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty.Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well-known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all.It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don’t dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.36. What is the national sickness?A. Walking too muchB. Traveling too muchC. Driving cars too muchD.

To encourage people to return to walkingDLondon’s newest skyscraper(摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. Th e sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensiveprivate apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.41.
