2021年高二英语下学期第一周周考试题
2021年高二英语下学期第一周周考试题第一部分：阅读理解AWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will e mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will bee distant memory.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on---in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic conditional human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.1. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _______.A. diseases and agingB. accidents and warC. accidents and agingD. heart diseases and war2. In the author's opinion, today's most important advance in technology lies in _____.A. medicineB. the internetC. brain cellsD. human organs3. Humans may live longer in the future because ______.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine4. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. human have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells.BThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.5. We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five6. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother________.A. would expect to work until she diedB. was usually expected to take up paid employmentC. would be healthy enough to take up paid employmentD. was unlikely to find a job even if she is now likely7. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ________.A. marry so that they can get a jobB. leave school as soon as they canC. give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD. continue working until they are going to have a baby8. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school 七选五All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.9 They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when their player or team wins10 . Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! _11___ Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. _12___. Water—skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often bee good friends. ___13____. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace. （胜不骄,败不馁）A. And think of people in cold countries.B. Sports help to train a person’s character （性格）.C. Not a few people like sports in the word.D. Many people like to watch others play games.E. People aren’t inventing new sports or games.F. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere take part in them.G. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product-Cancandy.As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.24. How did Moore react to her dad's warning?A. She argued with him.B. She tried to find a way out.C. She paid no attention.D. She chose to consult dentists.25. What is special about CanCandy?A. It is beneficial to dental health.B. It is free of sweeteners.C. It is sweeter than other candies.D. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.26. What does Moore expect from her business?A. To earn more money.B. To help others find smiles.C. To make herself stand out.D. To beat other candy companies.27. What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.C. Positive thinking and action result in success.D. Success means getting personal desires satisfiedCSquirrels aren’t natural city dwellers(居民). In 1986 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor〞.Around that time, the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to “create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,〞 says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Benson, who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years.First, they were introduced to Philadelphia, then to New Haven, Boston, and New York City. Park visitors were encouraged to feed them, and security guards ensured their safety. In the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America(an organization teaching boys practical skills)said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathy, says Benson.By the early 20th century, though, America began to regret the friendliness it had shown squirrels. Cities had once been filled with animals—from horses pulling goods to dairy cows. By the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside. Pets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom.Before long, people’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore off, and they started to see them as annoyances. By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures. Today, it is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree. And, unfortunately, with more and more buildings being constructed in the city, fewerinhabitable(适宜栖息的)areas are left for the little tree-dwelling animals.What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us,〞says Benson. “It’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunch. It’s good for the soul.〞28. What’s the purpose of introducing squirrels to Philadelphia?A. To entertain park visitors.B. To keep the natural balance.C. To encourage kids to protect animals.D. To make the urban life more peaceful.29. What was the Boy Scouts leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels?A. Disagreeable.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Uncaring.30. What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s?A. They might have inhabited more homes.B. They might have begun to go out of favor.C. They might have been introduced to more cities.D. They might have been moved to the countryside.31. What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph?A. Squirrels living in cities are annoying.B. Feeding squirrels should be discouraged.C. Squirrels should be allowed to live in cities.D. It is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets.DMore primary care doctors in a community (社区〕appear to lead to improved life expectancy for people living there，though a lack of such physicians across U.S. could be a cause of concern for overall population health in years to come.For the study, researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering 2021 to 2015 in the U. S.，along with life expectancy and specific causes of death. They found that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51. 5-day increase in life expectancy, while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100, 000 population increased life expectancy by 19. 2 days. An increase in primary care physicians also was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.Along with those findings, though, the study said many communities did not have primary care physicians in 2021，with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban areas. Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of primary care, however, payment difference between primary care and technical specialties continue to dispirit the U. S. primary care physician workforce.“Higher pay and lifestyle preferences lead most students to choose non-primary care fields, even when their hearts say primary care,〞the study said. “We must turn this trend around with practical changes in physician payment policy； no amount of superb primary care training or creative practice reform will prevent further declines in primary care physician, which will lead to worsening health for theUnited States. 〞The study’s researchers conclude that future research should focus on the “quality and cover of primary care，types of primary care physician training and service offerings, and effective access rather than just supply〞.32.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Provide some data for the readers,B. Offer some tips on life expectancy.C. Add some background information,D. Stress the importance of primary care,33.Which of the following best explains “prominent 〞 underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Adequate.B. Considerate.C. Obvious.D. Reasonable.34. What discourages young people from taking up the primary care?A. Primary care is badly paid.B. They have to work in rural areas,C. They need to face fierce competition.D. Primary care lacks superb training35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Primary care can lengthen life.B. Primary care needs improving.C. Primary care physicians are decreasing.D.

第二局部阅读理解〔一共两节，满分是60分〕第一节〔一共15小题;每一小题3分，满分是45分〕阅读以下短文，从每一小题所给的四个选项〔A 、B 、C 和 D 〕中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。
AAlgae(水藻) are very simple plants. They grow in fresh water or salty water. Seaweed is algae that grow in salty water. Seaweed is red or brown in color. The Japanese people use these plants from the sea in many ways. From it, they make a food called Kombu. Kombu is seaweed that has been dried, cooked and pressed together. Then it is dried again and cut into long pieces. The Japanese eat a lot of Kombu and like it very much.Japanese farmers often use seaweed as fertilizer. It makes their plants grow better. Many farmers also find seaweed makes a fine food for their animals.From seaweed the Japanese also get iodine(碘), which they sell to other countries. Iodine is used in many ways all over the world. It is used in making medicine. It is added to the salt we use at the table. Scientists even use one form of iodine to “ seed clouds〞 when they want rain to fall.21. Kombu is a kind of ____ according to the text.A. plantB. medicineC. foodD. fertilizer22. In the last sentence of the text, “seed clouds〞 means ____.A. clouds spreading like seedsB. the seeds like cloudsC. to make rain fall with human powerD. dropping seeds by clouds23. The main idea of the story is that ____.A. The Japanese eat seaweed when they want rain to fall.B. Kombu is made into medicine for farmers.C. The Japanese use seaweed in many ways.D. The Japanese eat a lot of Kombu.BOnce there was a poor farmer and his farm belonged to(属于) a rich man. One day he brought a basket of apples to the rich man’s house. On the doorsteps, he met two monkeys dressed like children. They jumped onto the basket to eat the apples and threw some on the ground. The farmer politely took off his hat and asked the monkeys to get off. They obeyed(服从) and the farmer went into the house. He asked to see the rich man. A servant took him to the room where the rich man was sitting."I have brought you the basket of apples you asked for," he said."But why have you brought a half-empty basket?" the rich man asked."I met your children outside, and they stole(偷) some of the apples."24. Why did the farmer bring apples to the rich man? BecauseA. he was poorB. he liked the rich manC. his farm belonged to the rich manD. the rich man’s children liked apples25. What did the monkeys do when the farmer was on the doorsteps?A. They jumped and jumped.B. They played.C. They ran away.D. They ate some of the apples.26. The monkeys left the basket becauseA. they had thrown apples on the groundB. the farmer had politely asked them to get offC. they were afraid of the hatD. the farmer was angry with them27. How did the rich man feel when he saw the basket? He feltA. pleasedB. unhappyC. excitedD. movedCIf we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, ofcourse，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history〞．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．28.Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A．“Remembered history〞，compared with written history，is less reliableB．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C．A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D．Where there are no written records．there is no history．29.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________. A．there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireA.the people there did not know how to write30.“Remembered history〞refers to__________．A．history based on a person's imaginationB . stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC . songs and dances about the most important eventsD .both B and C31.“Remembered history〞is regarded as valuable only when ____________.A.it is written downB.no written account is availableC.it proves to be timeD．people are interested in itDFor any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest dramatist(剧作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations． Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand． There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not，of course，recommended to beginners ) even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare's day．32.English people _____________A．have never discussed who is the world's greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world's greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world's greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world's greatest poet and dramatist33.Every Englishman knows __________A．more or less about ShakespeareB．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare's writingsD．only the name of the greatest English writer34. Which of the following is true?A．We use all the words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings．B．Shakespeare's writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English．C．It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they useD All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare35.What does the word “proverb〞 mean?A．Familiar sayingsB．Shakespeare's plays．C．Complaints．D．Actors and actresses．第二节〔一共5小题；每一小题3分，满分是15 分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations． Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the Englishlanguage．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand． There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not，of course，recommended to beginners ) even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare's day．32.English people _____________A．have never discussed who is the world's greatest dramatistB．never discuss any issue concerning the world's greatest dramatistC．are sure who is the world's greatest dramatistD．do not care who is the world's greatest poet and dramatist33.Every Englishman knows __________A．more or less about ShakespeareB．Shakespeare，but only slightlyC．all Shakespeare's writingsD．only the name of the greatest English writer34.

AFour Amazing Kid-Friendly HotelsTravelling with children is the most popular vacation trend for 2021.

By the time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, whofinally agreed to sell Moore's product-Cancandy.As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.24. How did Moore react to her dad's warning?A. She argued with him.B. She tried to find a way out.C. She paid no attention.D. She chose to consult dentists.25. What is special about CanCandy?A. It is beneficial to dental health.B. It is free of sweeteners.C. It is sweeter than other candies.D. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.26. What does Moore expect from her business?A. To earn more money.B. To help others find smiles.C. To make herself stand out.D. To beat other candy companies.27. What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.C. Positive thinking and action result in success.D. Success means getting personal desires satisfiedCSquirrels aren’t natural city dwellers(居民). In 1986 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised pas sers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor〞.Around that time, the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to “create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,〞 says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Benson, who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years.First, they were introduced to Philadelphia, then to New Haven, Boston, and New York City. Park visitors were encouraged to feed them, and security guards ensured their safety. In the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America(an organization teaching boys practical skills)said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathy, says Benson.By the early 20th century, though, America began to regret the friendliness it had shown squirrels. Cities had once been filled with animals—from horses pulling goods to dairy cows. By the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside. Pets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom.Before long, people’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore off, and they started to see them as annoyances. By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures. Today,it is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree. And, unfortunately, with more and more buildings being constructed in the city, fewer inhabitable(适宜栖息的)areas are left for the little tree-dwelling animals.What would be lost if th e last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us,〞says Benson. “It’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunch. It’s good for the soul.〞28. What’s the purpose of introducing squirrels to Philadelphia?A. To entertain park visitors.B. To keep the natural balance.C. To encourage kids to protect animals.D. To make the urban life more peaceful.29. What was the Boy Scouts leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels?A. Disagreeable.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Uncaring.30. What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s?A. They might have inhabited more homes.B. They might have begun to go out of favor.C. They might have been introduced to more cities.D. They might have been moved to the countryside.31. What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph?A. Squirrels living in cities are annoying.B. Feeding squirrels should be discouraged.C. Squirrels should be allowed to live in cities.D. It is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets.DMore primary care doctors in a community (社区〕appear to lead to improved life expectancy for people living there，though a lack of such physicians across U.S. could be a cause of concern for overall population health in years to come.For the study, researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering 2021 to 2015 in the U. S.，along with life expectancy and specific causes of death. They found that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51. 5-day increase in life expectancy, while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100, 000 population increased life expectancy by 19. 2 days. An increase in primary care physicians also was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.Along with those findings, though, the study said many communities did not have primary care physicians in 2021，with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban areas. Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of primary care, however, payment difference between primary care and technical specialties continue to dispirit the U. S. primary care physician workforce.“Higher pay and lifestyle preferences lead most students to choose non-primary care fields, even when their hearts say primary care,〞 the st udy said. “We must turn this trend around with practical changes in physician payment policy； no amountof superb primary care training or creative practice reform will prevent further declines in primary care physician, which will lead to worsening health for the United States. 〞The study’s researchers conclude that future research should focus on the “quality and cover of primary care，types of primary care physician training and service offerings, and effective access rather than just supply〞.32.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Provide some data for the readers,B. Offer some tips on life expectancy.C. Add some background information,D. Stress the importance of primary care,33.Which of the following best explains “prominent 〞 underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Adequate.B. Considerate.C. Obvious.D. Reasonable.34. What discourages young people from taking up the primary care?A. Primary care is badly paid.B. They have to work in rural areas,C. They need to face fierce competition.D. Primary care lacks superb training35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Primary care can lengthen life.B. Primary care needs improving.C. Primary care physicians are decreasing.D. Higher pay attracts more primary care physicians第二节(一共5小题;每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

AHonesty, my mum used to tell me, is the best policy．Of course, this didn’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents．But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to be honest with my patients．After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought．I had just started working in geriatrics（老年病科）．Mr．McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen．I took amedical history from his daughter, who accompanied him in the ambulance．She’d been caring for him for years．I stood, looking at him as she gave a detailed history．“Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it’s funny that you should mention that, but yes．” she said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．“Why? What are you worried about?” she asked. I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was fair that I told her the truth．“Well, we need to prove that it’s not cancer．” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr．McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer．” My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward （病房）, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr．McMahon, she turned to me．“Why on earth did you do that?” she asked in disbelief．I looked at her and bit my lip．“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．” I said, hanging my head．“And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant．“You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed．Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people．”As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer．But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor，it’s important to be mindful of this．In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse．21．The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author _____．A．misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship B．was anxious to receive Christmas giftsC．regarded honesty as the best policy D．had an unhealthy eating habit22．The author’s consultant was angry with him because _____．A． he told the daughter what he suspected．B．he delayed running the necessary tests．C．he failed to confirm the patient’s disease．D．he forgot what the consultant had advised．23．The author hung his head（the underlined part in Para．4）because he was feeling _____．A．guilty B．hurt C．disappointed D．helpless24．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?A．Learning from parents is necessary．B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous．C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution．D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy．BHowling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf pack．As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other．There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover．One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together．It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together．Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together ．But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H．Harrington, a professor who studies wolf behaviour．Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next moment, quarreling among each other．It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times．So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? ——Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other．Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times．When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering．Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior．When one wolf starts to howl,it is very likely that others will follow．This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence．25．What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and human’s singing in chorus?A．The act of calling each other．B．The sense of accomplishment．C．The act of hunting for something．D．The sense of belonging to a group．26．Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?A．Wolves separate from each other after howling．B．Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds．C．Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together．D．Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus．27．Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to______．A．show their ranks B．find their companionsC．report the missing ones D．express their loneliness 28．“Howling… is a contagious behaviour”（in the last paragraph）means_______．A．howling is a signal for hunting B．howling is a way of communicationC．howling often occurs in the morning D．howling spreads from one to anotherCIn today’s throw away society, dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council（市议会）.Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of（处理）about 250,000 million tons of waste a year．Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner---largely through encouraging recycling---its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it．The European Union（EU）has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of．The five councils（Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian．Midlethian and Borders）face fines around ￡18million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill．With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant（垃圾焚烧厂）to burn half of the waste produced in their districts．But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025．After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello．Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2019, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion．But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas．That still leaves the council with a problem．By 2017, only50%of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill．Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up．Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out．29．The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ______．A．recycling B．restoring C．burying D．burning 30．The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to______．A．reduce the cost of burying waste B．meet the EU requirements C．speed up waste recycling D．replace landfill sites 31．The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because______．A．it came from a private company B．the council was not interested in itC．it was not supported by EU D．the local people were against itDFeeling blue about world ? “Cheer up．” Says science writer Matt Ridley．”The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature．”Ridley calls himself a rational（理性的） optimist—rational, because he’s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good．And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book．The Rational Optimist．He views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years．He backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of research．Here’s how he explains his views．1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone．Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better ears, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us．This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be．2）Brilliant advancesOne reason why we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper．Take one example．In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work．In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for．In 1950 it was eight seconds．Today it’s half second．3）Let’s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating（减轻）climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare asclimate change itself．A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel（化石燃料）electricity is forbidden by well - meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change．If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet（止血带）around our necks．32．What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?A．Weakness of human nature． B．Concern about climate change．C．Importance of practical thinking． D．Optimism about human progress．33．How does Ridley look at shopping?A．It encourages the creation of things． B．It results in shortage of goods．C．It demands more fossil fuels． D．It causes a poverty problem．34．The candle and lamp example is used to show that ______．A．oil lamps give off more light than candles.B．shortening working time brings about a happier life．C．advanced technology helps to produce better candles．D．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods．35．What does the last sentence of the passage imply（暗示）?A．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost．B．Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous．C．People’s health is closely related to climate change．D．Careless medical treatment may cause great pain．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。
