A（河南省林州市第一中学2017-2018学年高二12月月考）I set out to change the lives of those who need help by joining my school’s newly formed Free The Children Club. Th rough the determination offriends, the group has grown bigger and stronger each year. Over the past two years my friend, Alex Auclair,and I have become the leaders of the club.Already, after only two years of fundraising, we have accumulated over three thousand dollars andalmost two thousand food items through various fundraising efforts. For example, each year a 24-hourfamine (饥饿) is planned resulting in absolutely no consumption (消耗) of food. By taking part in these activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of someone living in poverty.No money raised goes to waste. At the end of each school year, the group takes a vote to determinewhere our funds will be spent and donated. Last year, we bought enough desks, chairs, supplies and textbooksfor every student in a Kenyan school. This year, we plan to spend our earning helping out families in Sierra Leone.Poverty is a worldwide issue affecting the lives of people in not only developing countries, but alsofirst-world countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan. Living in poverty can result in hunger, many forms of disease, lack of education, and for millions, death. It does not have to be this way. You too can form a club like the Free The Children Club or you can participate in events outside of school. Get your friends, family, even your community involved in fundraising. Do what you can to change the world. 21. An annual 24-hour famine is held to ________ A. help understand poor people better. B. draw people’s attention to the club. C. call on people not to waste food. D. save food for hungry people. 22. How to spend the raised money is based on the opinion of ________. A. the donators B. the fundraisers C. the club leaders D. the majority of the club members 23. Why does the author write the text? A. To introduce the Free The Children Club. B. To encourage people to change the world. C. To present the serious outcomes of poverty. D. To show how to help poor people live better. B （河北省邢台市2017-2018学年高二第四次月考）I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)last summer. The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student. When I began to discover what other people’s l ives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label(标识), she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence, which encouraged her to 此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build herself-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.24. According to the text, Marie is a woman who ___________.A. has three sonsB. has good memoryC. has difficulty in writingD. has difficulty in walking around25. After getting help from the author, Marie felt ____________.A. shyB. proudC. confidentD. peaceful26. What did the author get through the program?A. Some beautiful presents.B. A sense of achievement.C. More confidence and knowledge.D. More ways to help others.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Woman Who Lacked Self-confidenceB. The Literacy Volunteer Changed Our LivesC. A Challenge during My V olunteering WorkD. The V olunteering Work Benefited Both of UsC（安徽省池州市东至二中2017-2018学年高二12月月考试题）Venom(毒液）from a local scorpion(蝎子）in Cuba is being used by Cuban scientists as an effective weapon to fight cancer. The venom, with stopping pain, anti-inflammatory (炎症）and anti-cancer properties, is the active ingredient in the medicine “Vidatox 30 CH which can be used to treat liver, brain, lung and other cancers. The treatment has been successfully used for more than four years in humans after being first tested in biological models. Labiofam, a Cuban laboratory, has breeding(繁殖)centers for both the Red Scorpion and Blue Scorpion. Each month, some 30,000 scorpions in Las Minas town, 270 km east of Havana are made to give the venom. After two years, the scorpions are released back into their natural habitat.Denyer Sanchez, a biologist from Labiofam, explained that the conditions are adjusted for reproduction, proved by the high number of breeding female scorpions. He said when the offspring(后代）becomes able to live in the environment, we release them because they do not have the necessary size yet to remove their venom, said Sanchez. Sanchez also said that there is still much to research on the exploitation process of scorpions, such as female death rate or the ability to survive of the released scorpions.Cuban research on the sc orpion’s venom began at the end of 1980s in Guantanamo province, the island’s eastern tip, where a group of biologists and doctors became interested in the stories told by the peasants about the venom's benefits. However，the first discovery was made by Cuban biologist Misael Bordier. In 2001, Bordier visited Mexico’s National Autonomous University (UNAM) and presented the research progress in a professional journal. Bordier died in 2005, one year before Cuba's Industrial Property Office gave Labiofam the rights to exploit the patent related to the venom.28. How are the scorpions dealt with after their venom has been taken for two years?A. Their bodies are used to make medicines.B. They are bred in the laboratory for research.C. They are raised to give birth to the offspring.D. They are set free into their natural habitat.29. What can we infer from the passage about the research on scorpions?A. The UN provided fund for the research team.B. There is still much to study in detail.C. The achievements will benefit animals.D. Many scientists doubt about the result of the research.30. What can we learn about Bordier in the last paragraph?A. He was given the rights to exploit the patent.B. He began his research at the beginning of the twenty-first century.C. He put forward the research progress in a professional journal.D. He was a peasant who told the stories about the venom’s benefits.31. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The various uses of scorpions in Cuba.2B. Cuban biologists’ research on strange diseases.C. Suitable conditions for Cuban scorpions to breed.D. Cuban scorpion venom’s effect on fighting cancer.D（河南省南阳一中2017-2018学年高二第三次月考）Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps not in the way that you think.According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, the best strategy isn’t offering money; it’s giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7,000 steps every day over 13 weeks.To motivate the people who took part to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups.People in the first group received $1,40(9 yuan) each day as long as they finished 7,000 steps, the second group was only able to collect the $1.40 if they had reached 7,000 steps the day before, and the third group was given $42 at the beginning of each month and $1.40 was taken away every time someone failed to meet the goal.The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.“People are more motivated by losses than gains, and they like immediate gratification.” study author Dr Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the US, told CNN. “They want to be rewarded today, not next year or far into the future.”Our brains tend to avoid wanting to lose things more than they try to get the benefits from gaining them, Patel explained. “It makes people think like the money is theirs to lose from day one.”In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, Patel said.“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed.” he added.The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentive （激励）, but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in the future, according to the study.“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant with the Aonplc corporation, told Th e Wall Street Journal. “It’s really important to change up the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”32. Acording to Dr Mitesh Patel, the third group did better than the other two groups mostly because______.A. they were satisfied with being paid immediatelyB. they did not want the money they had gained to be taken awayC. they were able to get more money than the other two groupsD. they were given money at first while the others were not33. By mentioning other similar programs, Dr Mitesh Patel intended to______.A. prove that their program has been more successfulB. show that motivation mattered more in other programsC. stress that they didn’t expert the resultD. make a further comparison between these programs34. What can we infer from S tephanie Pronk’s words?A. Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit.B. Incentives and ways in which they are given are key to fitness programs.C. People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives.D. There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more.35. We can learn from the study that for incentives to work______.A. more benefits than losses should be obvious for participantsB. direct profits should be given rather than long-term onesC. designers need to consider how people think about incentivesD. designers need to work out the right from of motivation第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

He lay on a hard little bed and tried hard to start breathing.Oliver had his first fight without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival. _______.However, Oliver finally drew his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow(枕头) and said, “Let me see the child, and die.”The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then looked wildly around the room, fell back—and died. “Poor dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably be in danger,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”“ She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. She’d walked some distance, Her shoes were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar (乞丐). But when the woman dressed him later in hard cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was—an orphan (孤儿) in a workhouse, ready for a life of sadness, hunger, and neglect (忽略).Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.1．According to the passage, a workhouse was where ________.A．workers helped each other B．many women died unexpectedlyC．the poor and homeless lived D．people were only interested in money2．Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?A．Being afraid of the two, he started to cry.B．Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world.C．In fact, the world was privileged to have him in it.D．After all, death was a common event in the workhouse.3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.B．The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.C．Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.D．Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.B14、Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said: Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel? The doctors in Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks, so toys are needed to keep these sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.After Mrs. Weeks read the story, she said, “This story gave me an idea.”“You want us to bring some money for the toys.”“We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital, ”said the boys and girls one after another.“Well, your ideas would be nice, ” Mrs. Weeks said, “but mine is different.”“We could make some toys, ” shouted one of them.Mrs. Weeks smiled. “Do you think you could make toys?” she asked.“Yes, yes, ” the whole class answered.“Great!

She is only nine years old. I picked her up from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly.I found a short line with just one person ahead(在……前面) of me. It was an elderly woman, and she was paying for her things with only change(零钱). It took a long time. After a whole day at work, I began to lose patience.But then I watched the young clerk(职员). He helped her count her change, ever so tenderly(体贴地) taking it from her shaking hands. I listened to him repeatedly say to her, “Yes, madam.” When she asked the clerk if she had enough money to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get one for her. Never once did this clerk get annoyed(生气的) or roll(滚动) his eyes. He was patient and kind.As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was, too. I realized that my daughter was learning an important lesson from a complete stranger.After the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience. I thanked him, too.I found the manager and told him about the clerk’s ki ndness and patience.Then we left the supermarket with a full cart(手推车), but also with a heart full of thankfulness for such an important lesson.

The government announced it would now allow all couples to have two children. The one-child policy was a population control measure that was introduced in 1979. Policy makers hoped to control the country’s population to avoid high rates of poverty(贫穷).The new two-child policy should give a huge economic(经济) push for China and prevent China from becoming an ageing society. China’s labor(劳动力) force peaked at 940 million in 2012. This fell to 930 million in 2014 and is expected to fall by 29 million by 2020. Predictions are that there will be an average of 2.5 million extra newborns per year. This will provide more workers and an extra $11.8 billion in annual GDP. The new policy will affect around 100 million people.1．When did the one-child policy begin in China?A．1979 B．2012 C．2015 D．20172．Which of the following is NOT true about the two-child policy?A．It can increase more new babies.B．It’s a huge economic push in China.C．It makes China became an ageing society.D．It will affect many people.3．What’s meaning of the underlined word “peaked”?A．山峰B．达到顶峰C．压力增大D．化解危机E17、Christmas Singing Competition 2016Entry Form （参赛表）Singing Bring your own CD, Prepare 2 songs 13-19 year olds onlyPrizes Entry Date Fee1st, 2nd and 3rd Before November 30, 2016 NoneCompetition RulesRelatives of judges（评委）and organizers are not allowed to take part in the competition.All singers must be between 13 and 19 years of ageSingers aged 17 or younger need the permission of a parent to take part (See Parent Permission below)All singers must arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the competition.

When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs.In China, it’s impolite to talk when eating dinner. And you’re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect (尊重) lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favorite subject of conversation with the British.In Spain (西班牙), it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 pm.In Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), men kiss one another on the cheek (脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket (口袋) as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it.Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.1．How many countries are mentioned in this passage?A．Four. B．Five. C．Six.

But John ran off so suddenly that the kite flew out ofher hand and it fell flat as before. “Try again,” I said.They did, and with more care, but a side wind came suddenly. As Lucy let go of the kite, it was blown against some bushes and the tail was caught. Meanwhile, I went to the kite’s assistance and set the tail free from the bushes. I told them to find a more open area and then try again.We found an open area. I threw the kite up as John ran off. It rose up and promised a high flight. But John was so pleased that he stopped short to look upward. The string became loose. The kite shook and came down to the ground. “I won’t try anymore. The kite won’t fly. ” said he angrily. I replied, “A few disappointments are not supposed to discourage us. And now try again.”And he tried and succeeded, for the kite was carried upward on the breeze as lightly as a feather.

While you’re sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. Although we all know the importance of getting a good night’s sleep, not all of us know the best way of getting it. A sleep expert, Phil Atherton, gave some top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good night’s sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So you’d better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help reduce damage from too much sugar floating around.It’s also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much artificial light within one hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set internal “body clock”. Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that it’s time to sleep.Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relaxed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime stress.Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good night’s sleep. Sleep is a personalized activity, and we all adopt different sleeping positions. Finding the mattress that suits you will reduce back pains that can result from a poor sleeping position. The bed should be four to six inches longer than its tallest user, allowing for space to move around.The recent research is pretty clear that a good night’s sleep is a major part of good health. Since the start of the 21st century, studies have linked a lack of sleep to many illness, such as diabetes and obesity. Taking action now will lead to long-term benefits for you and those around you.45．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A．When to start a sound sleep.B．How to get a good night’s sleep.C．What to do with sleep problems.D．Why to form a good habit of sleeping.46．According to the author, before going to sleep, you’d better ________.A．do something relaxingB．check your blood sugarC．reduce your pain in the backD．record your biological clock47．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Not eating food.B．Eating too much.C．Not sleeping well.D．Having a good sleep.As you probably know, clothing has been around since the time of Adam and Eve—and it’s become a lot more complicated than those early fig leaf designs. On the other hand, electronics have been with us for only a few hundred years—beginning with Franklin running round with his portable lightning rod. With gadgets（小电子产品）more popular than ever these days, digital fashion, a combination of clothing and electronics, is simply inevitable.First let me mention a line of jackets launched in the fall of 2013 by Royal Philips’ Electronics and Levis Strauss Corporation. Philip’s original press release called it “mixing fashion and technology in the creation of work wear for the digital age”. I love that kind of talk. Each design is said to contain a simple body area network using wires placed into various parts of the jacket. What it really does is allow one to use a Philips’ GSM mobile phone and MP3 player in the jacket—all controlled by a unified remote.A company named Vivo Metrics has designed a different type of electronic garment. It’s called Lifeshirt, and it’s an ambulatory monitoring system stuffed into a flexible, washable T-shirt. Vivo Metrics has built a system that allows doctors to monitor more than 40 physiological signs（heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, etc.）over extended periods of time. With that a man who suffers from sleep apnea （呼吸暂停）can send the medical data to his doctor on a regular basis. But this product is not available to customers, as it’s intended for clinical and medical research.I believe these products are only the tip of the iceberg. More of them will find their way to our future life, making a difference by combining computer technologies with clothing design.48．Why are Adam, Eve and Franklin mentioned in the first paragraph?A．They can tell the origin of digital fashion.B．They can show a long history of clothing and electronics.C．They can prove that clothing came before electronics.D．They can lead in the subject of the whole passage.49．The underlined word “inevitable” probably means ________.A．reasonable B．unbelievable C．unavoidable D．impossible 50．What is TRUE about Vivo Metric’s Lifeshirt?A．It has saved thousands of people’s lives.B．It works similarly as the digital jacket does.C．It has not really benefited the patients yet.D．It has collected a great deal of data for doctors.51．The writer seems to believe that digital fashion will ________ in the future.A．add up to nothingB．end up as a failureC．lift up our lifeD．set up a new business四、阅读回答问题How many times have you boarded a flight and noticed one or two passengers who are acting a bit strangely? They could be suffering from fear of flying. If you have a fear of flying, or find yourself sitting next to a fearful flyer, here is some advice you may like to share with that person.Don’t try to hide your fear. Tell the flight attendant when you board, and the passengers around you when you sit down. Other people can often help to relax and stop worrying.Ask for a seat at the very front of the plane. You can feel the plane’s movement much more at the back of the plane. Take the shortest flight you can and preferably in the biggest plane possible.Keep busy. Watch the film even if it’s bad or you have seen it already. Read a book or do a crossword puzzle.There are various classes for those who are afraid to fly. In some cases the final test is in an actual airplane flight. The courses used to be quite expensive, but now with cheaper fares, these classes are less expensive as well.Listen to peaceful and relaxing music.Finally, remember that walking across the road is more dangerous than flying! 52．Why is it useful to tell people that you are afraid of flying?____________________________53．What kind of music should fearful fliers listen to?____________________________54．Which is more helpful, reading a book or drinking coffee on the plane?____________________________55．What’s the passage mainly about?____________________________五、电子邮件56．假如你是李华，你们学校准备举行北京文化节。

Channel 8C. Channel 5D. Channel 6BMany new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves putting off required reading; jumping from one subject to another and rarely being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start to study efficiently is to plan your time and organize your work.Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour working week; a reasonable figure; leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities.You now have to decide how to occupy the remaining 25 hours of private study. Naturally the decision you make will change from week to week according to what assignments任务have to be done. Many people find it helpful to plan each week a seven day timetable showing the occasions on which they will be working privately and the particular subjects that they will be studying on each occasion. By checking such a plan at times during the week; you can see what still to do.Where to study There are a number of places where you can study: college library; public library; home; empty classroom; on bus or train and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages. The college library is least busy in the evenings; on Wednesday afternoons; and all day Friday and Saturday.When you are deciding where to study; keep the following suggestions in mind:a. Try to study always in the same place. After a while the familiar surroundings will help you to get into the right state of mind as soon as you sit down.b. Find somewhere with as few distractions干扰as possible.c. Make sure that your study place has a good light and is warmbut not to warm.52. Many new students find it hard ______.A. to finish all the assignmentsB. to put off their meetingC. to jump from subject to subjectD. to make certain what they are going to do53. The passage encourages students to work for about ______ hours a week.A. 15B. 40C. 25D. 7054. A student’s organization of his work will need to change according to ______.A. how many hours he is awakeB. the assignments given by his teachersC. how many lectures he missesD. his health condition55. A student is recommended to make a weekly plan and to check it from time to time in order to see ______.A. whether he has calculated it properlyB. what day of the week it isC. what work still needs doingD. how well he has organized his time56. Which of the following places is not mentioned as a place where you can studyA. At the bus—stopB. On the trainC. At homeD. At the libraryCWe all know that when leaves fall to the ground they die and become food for worms. When worms pass the leaves; their waste can help to make the soil rich; from which the plants use to get their nutrition. The plants grow and provide food for animals. When the animals eat their plants; their waste goes back into the soil. It’s perfect circle.But at the Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang; Northern Thailand; they are using elephant waste for something more —to make 100% natural; beautiful colorful paper products 100 years ago over 100;000 elephants in Thailand worked on farms; building sites and even in the army. However; only 6;000 remain there today because of advances and technology that have made elephants’ old work less necessary. Elephants are doing new jobs now; including entertaining tourists by painting and playing football; and now by helping in the paper making industry. And their keepers; called Mahouts; can earn a living for their families and help their elephants by using elephants waste; also called “dung” to make beautiful; natural; paper products without any bad smell.Every day an adult elephant eats about 200kg of plants like bamboo; grass and watermelon seeds. His body system breaks the plants in 50kg of fibers; which can produce 115 sheets of fibrous paper.The first step to make this special natural paper is to collect the fiber rich “dung” from the elephant. The next step is to wash it and boil it for five hours tokill bacteria. The water they use in this progress is reused to water plants at the Centre; which; in turn; feed the elephants. After it’s boiled; they cut fibers up. During the cutting progress; they add in the desired color of paper. For the fourth step; they take the mixture and make balls of 300g. Each ball is then spread lightly over bamboo frames to dry into one large sheet of paper. After a few hours in the sun; the sheets are dry enough to remove. The result is a wonderful; 100% natural; recycled paper. People around the world are getting interested in buying this special elephant paper for their holiday cards; writing paper and much more; because it’s beautiful; natural and helps so many.57. Why are there fewer elephants in Thailand today than beforeA. Because they don’t have enough food.B. Because they were killed in the war.C. Because the technology develops very fast.D. Because the Mahouts don’t want to keep them.58. What is the famous product mentioned in the passageA. Elephant paperB. DungC. Fibers.D. Bamboo frames59. What are the exact words to describe the whole progress of the productA. Common; interesting; and inexpensive.B. Unusual; amazing; and perfect.C. Impossible; special; but necessary.D. Natural; wonderful and common.60. What is the passage mainly aboutA. The steps to make paper.B. The number of elephants in Thailand.C. The paper-making industry in Thailand.D. A new type of paper — elephant paper.DIt is natural for young people; at times; to blame their parents for most the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained that theirparents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with problems; that they talk too much about certain problems; and that they have to no sense of humor; at last in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often look down upon their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt; when young.For example; young people like doing things without careful consideration; it is one of their ways of showing that they can accept a challenge. Older people worry more easily: most of them plan things ahead; at least in the back of their minds; and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.So my advice to you is this: when you want to borrow the family car or get your mother to mend something for you; you will have better success if you can possibly ask in advance.Young people often annoy their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles; in entertainers and music. This is not the main reason. They feel cut off from the adult world. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then; if it turns out that their music and entertainers; or vocabulary; clothes and hairstyles annoy their parents; this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better; at least in a small way; and they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you don’t obey because you do not want your parents to accept what you do. If they did accept; it looks as if you are tricking your own age group. But in that case; you are supposing that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood; when you were compl etely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life; co-operation can be part of the plan. You can impress others; especially parents; with your sense of responsibility; so that they will give you the right to do what you want to do.61. According to the passage; all the following complaints are true EXCEPT that ______.A. parents have no sense of humor at allB. parents are always behind the timesC. parents talk too much about certain problemsD. parents don’t believe their children can deal with crises62. What does the author suggest to young people to win support from their parentsA. Ignoring them.B. Controlling themC. Entertaining themD. Cooperating with them.63. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. young people are not allowed to join adult society because they have their own culture.B. it is impossible for young people to get along well with older people.C. older people tend to forget how they felt when they were young.D. older people often lead the way in fashion.64．The underline word “underdog”in the 5th paragraph refers to a person who ______.A. keeps dogs as petsB. seems less likely to succeedC. likes to cheat his own age groupD. looks down upon others around himEThe sun shone in through the dining room windows; lighting up the hardwood floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours. The phone of the “Nightline” rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper; Co nnie to get it. She had been taking down the callers’ names in Morrie’s small black appointment book. It was clear I was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the “Nightline” appearance had made him something of a bigfigure _ but I was impressed with; perhaps even a bit envious of; all the friends that Morrie seemed to have.“You know; Mitch; now that I’m dying. I’ve become much more interesting to people. I’m on the last great journey here — and people want me to tell them what to pack.”The phone rang again.“Morrie; can you talk” Connie asked.“I’m visiting with my old friend now;” he announced. “Let them call back.”I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly. I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years e arlier. Had it not been for “Nightline;” Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again.What happened to meThe eighties happened. Te nineties happened. Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened. I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck; and I never even realized I was doing it. Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years; as if I’d simply been on a long vacation.“Have you found someone to share your heart with” he asked.“Are you trying to be as human as you can be”I felt ashamed; wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such question. What happened to me I once promised myself I would never work for money; that I would join the Peace Corps; and that I would live in beautiful; inspirational places.Instead; I had been in Detroit for ten years; at the same workplace; using the same bank; visiting the same barber. I was thirty-seven; more mature than in college; tied to computers and moderns and cell phones. I was no longer young; not did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth. I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life.My days were full; yet I remained; much of the time; unsatisfied.What happened to me65. When did the author graduate from Morrie’s collegeA. In the eighties.B. In the nineties.C. When he was sixteen.D. When he was twenty–one.66. What do we know about the “Nightline”A. The author started it by himself.B. It helped Morrie earn a fame.C. The author helped Morrie start it.D. It was only operated at night.67. What can we infer from the passageA. Both the author and Morrie liked travelling.B. Morrie liked helping people pack things for their journeys.C. The author envied Morrie’s friends the help they got from him.D. The author earned a lot of money at the cost of his dreams.68. Where does the story happenA. In Morrie’s houseB. In the author’s office.C. In Connie’s houseD. In a hospital.七、阅读短文还原句子共10分;每小题2分..阅读短文;从下列所给的5个句子中;选四句还原到原文中;使得短文意思通顺、结构完整..A.The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams very much because hewas too different.B.They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sickpeople.C.When he left hospital; Adams decided to become a doctor; so he went to amedical school in Virginia; in America.D.Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s; and in 1988; UniversalPictures made a film about his life.E.Adams believed that people in hospital need more than just medicine.F.His idea was welcomed by millions of people.When he was a teenager; Hunter Adams was very unhappy; and he spent many years in the 1960s and 1970s in a special hospital for people with mental health problems.69. ______ But when he was there; he did things in different ways.

（共8分，每小题0.5分）When I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii.
