I described the entire philos ophical framework (哲学体系) of Western thought and laid the historical 27 for all the works we’ll study in class，”I complained．“How 28 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”It was a long term，and it 29 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 30 of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 31 questions and provide enough background so that students could ＿32 their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 33 information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!34 ，I also learnt a lot，and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a＿35 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture．16．A．certainty B．idea C．doubt D．experience17．A．impress B．put C．leave D．fix18．A．Attention B．Look out C．At ease D.

The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flyingaway, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.“For your wonderful kindness,” the good fairy said to the girl, “I will give you any wish you would like.” The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be happy.” The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her the secret of happiness. She would only smile and answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all gathered around her, believing that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure they seemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”36. Noticing the butterfly was caught by the thorn, the orphan girl _______.A. helped the butterfly escape from the thornB. felt sad, but she didn′t go up to help itC. fell down on it tooD. failed to help it release from the thorn37. The butterfly _________ after it was saved by the little girl.A. flew awayB. still diedC. changed into a fairyD. was more beautiful than before38. The only thing that the little girl wanted was_________.A. to be richB. to have her own parentsC. to have a lot of friendsD. to be happy39. The neighbors all gathered around the old happy woman when she was dying, because ______.A. they loved this woman deeply and they didn′t want her to dieB. the woman had lots of money to be shared after she diedC. they wanted to know the secret of her lifetime happinessD. they wanted to pray for her after her deathBMoney Matters for StudentsGETTING A GRANT（补助）Who pays?The Local Education Authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.Who can get this money?Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before going to college:A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money--￡155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ￡615 at 29 or more. If a student is handicapped (残疾的):LEAs will give up to ￡500 to help meet extra expenses—such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.Banking:Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡100 or so, and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest).40. A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in afew months will _________.A. get money if he is taking a first degree courseB. be unable to get money from any LEAC. get money from any LEA when he has finished his courseD. have to open a bank account before he gets any money41. Which of the following is TRUE?A. A student already attending a course of advanced education is sure to get a grant.B. A student aged 30 can get extra money—￡615 a year.C. A student usually must pay back charges when the account is in credit.D. Students are allowed to overdraw by ￡100 or so in any bank.42．Why is it likely that a bank will welcome new students as their customers?A. They know students receive money regularly.B. They charge students extra.C. They hope students will be rich in the future.D. They need student accounts in term-time.43. Where can you probably read this passage?A. A notice-board in a college.B. A dictionary.C. A newspaper.D. A banking office.CSometimes, the simplest ideas are the best. For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces. One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them ran from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first two paragraphs?A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.D. The Dutch engineer's system has been widely used.45. For what purpose are the diving pipes used?A. To absorb heat from the sun.B. To store heat for future use.C. To turn solar energy into heat energy.D. To carry heat down below the surface.46. From the last paragraph we can learn that _________.A. the system can do more than warming up the buildingB. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterC. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer47. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C. How the system cools the building in summer.D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.DThe $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”. But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing (引证) older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your friend who is slow to learn that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays against funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem (自尊). The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”Those with low self-esteem didn’t f eel better after the forced self-affirmation (自我肯定). In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think of positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy(心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation(静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic viewpoint. Call it the power of negative thinking.48. The first paragraph is written _________.A. to raise an argument about positive thinkingB. to introduce the power of positive thinkingC. to encourage people to have positive thoughtsD. to introduce the $11 billion self-help industry49. According to the study of the Canadian researchers, _________.A. positive thinking is not as powerful as negative thinkingB. encouraging positive thinking may actually discourage peopleC. h appy people can think positively while unhappy people can’tD. getting people to think positively can strengthen their confidence50. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. You are pointing out the mistakes he has made.B. You are reminding him that he is not intelligent.C. You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.D. You are showing he has great potential in spite of faults.51. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.A. negative feelings must be got rid ofB. the re’s no point in thinking positivelyC. it doesn’t make sense to think negativelyD. negative thinking is not always negativeEWhen I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns (草坪), and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month—or not at all.Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, and on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d seen me f rom a distance. I figured it was a thin retirement check, or maybe a work-related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Surely, I kept record of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and Mr. Ballou’s property didn’t take long to trim (修剪).Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light.“I owe you,” Mr. Ballou, “but…”I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Don’t worry about it.”“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment (首期付款).He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”“I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stacked at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal-- so I started to look through the piles of books.“You actually read all of these?”“This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”“Pick for me, then.”He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. Aftera moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound (精装本) book, fairly thick.“The Last of the Just,” I r ead. “By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?”“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was thrown into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, reading all through the night.To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter (接触、遇到) with world literature, and I was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain.I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words. So the next week when Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good.”“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”I nodded, and was presented with the paperback (平装本) edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples-- anthropology (人类学)).To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.52. The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _________.A. light-hearted and enjoyableB. dull but well writtenC. impossible to put downD. difficult to understand53. From what he said to the author, we can infer that Mr. Ballou _________.A. read all books twiceB. did not do much readingC. read more books than he keptD. preferred to read hardbound books54. The following year the author _________.A. started studying anthropology at collegeB. continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawnC. spent most of his time lazing away in a hammockD. had forgotten what he had read the summer before55. The autho r’s main point is that _________.A. summer jobs are really good for young peopleB. you should insist on being paid before you do a jobC. a good book can change the direction of your lifeD. a book is like a garden carried in the pocketIV. 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）1.

2015效实中学高二英语下学期期末考试题

2015效实中学高二英语下学期期末考试题Barcodes (条形码) arent given much thought by the majorityof consumers, but these codes were fairly recently applied in a workingfashion in 1970.A small food store owner decided one day that keeping records of the inventory (存货) of his stock and the associated prices were an extremely laborious process, and so, in 1948, he contacted The Drexel Institute of Technology in a bid(投标) to work towards a solution. Bernard Silver rose to the challenge and set out to study the problem, and began working on a solution involving an automatic way of keeping track of items that had been sold. Silver and a group of students from the institute realized their answer in the form of ultraviolet light (紫外线), ink and a scanner.The system worked at first, but possessed some negatives. It was unbelievably costly to carry out ona large scale and the system was also unstable. If the invention was to become commonplace (寻常的事) in grocery stores, these two problems had to be solved.The patent for the barcode system was filed(申请)by Silver and one of his students, Woodland. The patent was not granted immediately; in fact it took three years for the patent agency to admit their invention patent for the barcode, occurring on 7th October, 1952.Despite the patent being issued, the system was still not welcomed by the majority of store owners. It was not until 1966 that the system began moving its way into more and more grocery stores. This system was soon criticised, as there was no central mechanism for controlling uniformly (一致的)coded items. In 1970, Logicorn developed the Universal Grocery Products Identification code (UGPIC), soon shortened to Universal Identification Number (UPC). It was Marshs superstore, in Troy, which was the very first store to install this complex barcode reading system, and its popularity has soared (升温) ever since, and is obviously now commonplace in all types of stores worldwide.A. The function of ultraviolet light, ink and a scanner.B. The heavy work of store owners.C. Bernard Silvers education background.D. The rise of barcodes.44. Which of the following was NOT a disadvantage of Silvers system?A. It lacked a central mechanism.B. The system was not stable.C. It was a laborious process.D. It was expensive to be applied on a large scale.45. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide information about the development of barcodes.B. To praise scientists efforts in making peoples lives easier.C. To tell people that failure is the mother of success.D. To describe shop owners opinions of barcodes.编辑老师为大家整理了效实中学高二英语下学期期末考试题，希望对大家有所帮助。

His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth, receive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Irish vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry.41. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.B. It was shocked by Yeats's choice.C. It was a typically wealthy family.D. It had an artistic atmosphere.42. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life?A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater.B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.43. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines?A. EnvyB. SympathyC. EmptinessD. Admiration44. What is the passage mainly about?A. Yeats's literary achievementsB. Yeats's historical influenceC. Yeats's artistic ambitionD. Yeats's national honorBTo take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians (基督教徒) ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil. So when Colu brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell. What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the man were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the "introduction of this wonderful new fruit -- or is it a vegetable?" As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an "evil fruit".But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. "What are you afraid of?" he shouted. "I'll show you fools these things are good to eat!" Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.45. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because _______.A. it made Christians evilB. it was the apple of EdenC. it came from a forbidden landD. it was religiously unacceptable46. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato.C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries.D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.47. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?A. To make himself a hero.B. To remove people's fear of the tomato.C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato.D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory.48. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To challenge people's fixed concept of the tomato.B. To give an explanation to people's dislike of the tomato.C. To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato.D. To introduce the establishment of the first tomato-canning factory.CWhen you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (阐明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance.A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.49. The purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _______.A. avoid inappropriate mannersB. learn tolerance towards othersC. p ay attention to others’ needs and feelingsD. judge others favorably in any case50. The underlined wor d “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaningto __________.A. discouragingB. disappointingC. disgustingD. disturbing51. According to the passage, the following statements are all true except ______.A. You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.B. We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.C. Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.D. The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.52. It can be implied from the text that __________.A. the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensiveB. we will need to learn tolerance to co-exist with othersC. we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect o n our ownD. the writer didn’t care about other people’s view of himDWhen I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns（草坪）, and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or struck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month—or not at all.Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money apart, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d see n me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-related injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou’s property comprised didn’t take long to trim (修剪).Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light.“I owe you,” Mr Ballou said, “but…”I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “No problem. Don’t worry about it.”“The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.“Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep, or find something you like. What do you read?”“I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal--- so I started to look through the piles of books.“You actually read all of these?”“This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”“Pick for me, then.”He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.“The Last of the Just,” I read. “By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?”“You tell me,” he said. “Next week.”I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night.To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was amazed by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week. When Mr. Ballou asked, “Well?” I only replied, “It was good?”“Keep it, then,” he said. “Shall I suggest another?”I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa(a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples—anthropology (人类学) ).To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.53. Before his encounter with Mr. Ballou, the author used to read _____________.A. anything and everythingB. only what was given to himC. only serious novelsD. nothing in the summer54. The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _____________.A. light-hearted and enjoyableB. dull but well writtenC. impossible to put downD. difficult to understand55. From what he said to the author we can guess that Mr. Ballou _______________.A. read all books twiceB. did not do much readingC. read more books than he keptD. preferred to read hardbound books56. The following year the author _______________.A. started studying anthropology at collegeB. continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawnC. spent most of his time lazing away in a hammockD. had forgotten what he had read the summer before57. The author’s main point is that _____________.A. summer jobs are really good for young peopleB. you should insist on being paid before you do a jobC. a good book can change the direction of your lifeD. books are human beings’ best friends任务型阅读：第二节：Peter，Helen，Catherine，Elizabeth和Levin想根据各自在环保方面的兴趣(61—65)进行案例研究。

第I 卷〔选择题〕一、阅读理解ATrist an da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records . It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral 〔葡萄牙海军上将〕of the same name in 1506 and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second-and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island-is Easter Island which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor-Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America. The mountainous 64-square-nile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly, by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to buildmore than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moat , for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory 〔智利领土〕. They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.1．It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha ________. A. was named after its discoverer B. got its name from Holland settlers C. was named by the British governmentD. got its name from the Guinness Book of Records2．Which of the following is most famous for moat ? A. Easter Island. B. Pitcairn Island. C. St. Helena. D. Tristan da Cunha.3．Which country does Easter Island belong to? A. Britain. B. Chile. C. Holland. D. Portugal.BChildren have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to wo rry then if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, thechoosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in it self.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is fond that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.4．What is true about children when they play games? A. They don’t need rules. B. They want to pick a better team. C. They can test their personal abilities. D. They can stop playing any time they like.5．To become a leader in a game the child has to ________. A. play well此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号B. wait for his turnC. be confident in himselfD. be popular among his playmates6．The writer believes that ________.A. children play games without reasonsB. children’s games can do them a lot of goodC. children should invite grown-ups to play with themD. children should make better rules for their gamesCBeing considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.Different from popular belief, nost good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat then like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity〔慷慨〕that’s never forgotten.Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism〔批评〕, which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees, “Catch people doing something right!〞 he says. Then tell everyone about it.Take in formed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thought less exercise,〞 says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.〞Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. but if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail-and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,〞 says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself-You will be followed by everyone.7．The underlined word “cultivated〞 (paragraph 1) roughly means ________.A. comparedB. developedC. examinedD. encouraged8．The part “Always give credit〞 tells us that a leader should ________.A. praise everyoneB. give helpful criticismC. regard others as real heroesD. praise people for their good performances9．To be a good leader, you should _________.A. not be afraid of any risksB. think twice before taking risksC. try to avoid any possible failuresD. know what a thoughtless exercise is10．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a LeaderB. Not Many Can Be LeadersC. Leadership Is Very ImportantD. Leadership Is of Ski1ls and Techniques二、七选五How to Be a Pleasant PersonEach of us would love to be appreciated for the positive emotions that are exhibited around our surroundings. 11．The following steps will help you to be a pleasant person.Be modest. Understand that we all are humans. You might be rich or poor, black or white, short or tall etc. But above all we are all humans, which means we are all emotional beings. So treat others the way you would like to be treated.12．By offering a seat to an elderly person or throwing the football back to the young child, the inner self-satisfaction you get is priceless. Once you do so, you will feel good about yourself.Don’t reg ret. We all are reasonable beings and it is very human to do unreasonable things at times. However, it does not mean that we should regret what we did in the past. Every experience is a lesson which teaches you what to do and what not to do in future. 13．Forgive and forget. Always living in the past will only make one painful on the inside, which will reflect on the outside. 14．By doing so, your heart becomes light.Be grateful. Thank God and the Universe for yourself, your parents, your friends, your clothes, jobs, food, home etc. And every small thing makes a difference. 15．It will make you appreciate life.A. Be inspired.B. Be helpful.C. Little do we know that it is not a hard task at all.D. So be proud that you have learnt a lesson on your own.E. To have a pleasant emotion around you, it is better to let go.F. If possible, express your gratefulness for something every day.G. Throw flowers at others if you wish flowers to be thrown at you.三、完形填空In our modern world, when something wears out, we throw it away and buy a new one.

First of all, it is now easier to ________ an object than to spend time and money to repair it. ________ modern manufacturing and technology, companies are able to produce products quickly and inexpensively.

Economists say that the cost of living is the money that a family must pay 39．the necessities of life. For many years now, the cost of living has increased 40．(great), so the value of the dollar has decreased.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps 41．(increase), but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. As workers earn money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more goods. If there is a demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go 42．.
