Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever think why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker(锁柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some of my mother’s sleep ingpills and I was going home to kill myself. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”59.

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some helpful life changing events like marriage.When you take the Holmes Rahe you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress -- it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran titles like “Stress causes illness.”If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many -- like the death of loved one--are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we're all vulnerable and not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.51. The result of Holmes-Rahe's medical research tells us ____ .A the way you handle major events may cause stressB what should be done to avoid stressC what kind of event would cause stressD how to cope with sudden changes in life52.The score of the Holmes Rahe test shows ____ .A. how you can deal with life changing eventsB. how helpful events can change your lifeC. how stressful a major event can beD. how much pressure you are under53. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to ____ .A. popular avoidance of stressful jobsB. great fear over the mental disorderC. a careful research into stress related illnessesD. widespread worry about its harmful effects54. Why is “such simplistic advice ”(Line 2, Para.3) impossible to follow?A. No one can stay on the same job for long.B. More effective ways have been found to get rid of stressful events.C. People have to get married some day.D. You could be missing chances as well.55. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ____.A. nervous when faced with difficultiesB. physically and mentally tiredC. more able to deal with difficultiesD. cold toward what happens to them参考答案:略。

高二下学期英语期末考试试题(附答案)
高二下学期英语期末考试试题(附答案)一、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)(共4题;共30分)1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案,并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context. (15%)Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person's life because a good maniage can mean the difference between a happy and an unhappy life. In many cultures, youngmen and women choose their own marriage 40 . In some cultures, on the other hand, parentsarrange their children's marriages. 41 arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage to having parents arrange a marriage is 42 security. Of course, money doesn't 43 bring happiness, but a lack of money certainly causes 44 in any relationship. A second advantage of an ananged maniage is that parents may make a better 45 than their children. They are not only 46 but also wiser. Also, parents have been married, therefore, they know betterwhat qualities are desirable in a spouse. 47, parents may be better judges of character than young people, who often let uence their judgment. In49 , arranged marriages may be happy because parents choose with their heads, not with their50.On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One51 disadvantage is that parents may make a poor choice and the young couple may never be52together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or woman may already have fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force him or her to marry their choice, the result will be 53 unhappy people.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for 54 is necessarily going to be happy. Both kinds of marriages take work, patience and perhaps a little bit of luck. 40. A. couple B. parents C. partners D. date 41. A. So B. Such C. Some D. Other 42. A. financial B. happiness C. time D. future 43. A. quickly B. necessarily C. highly D. slowly 44. A. danger B. stress C. burden D . joy45. A. living B. collection C. choice D. family 46. A. junior B. senior C. advanced D. older 47. A. Furthermore B. Therefore C. However D. Anyhow48. A. mind B. emotion C. themselves D. others 49. A. a word B. words C. surprise D. time 50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the infoimatlon given in the passage you have just read.(8%)AThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher-— Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too. It was his mother's perfiime (香水).Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy's mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in tlie class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, 'Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D5 (医学博士).The story doesn't end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.,, Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong.

But early horses weren't tame (驯服的)enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed tlie wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication.As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep strong animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals5 genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.Modern-day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication. The Stetland horse is one of the smallest breeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井)with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. people bred these heavy tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heave loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horses were important tools in the advancement of modem agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people totravel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new form of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.()59. Before domestication horses were.A.caught for sports.B.hunted for foodC.made to pull ploughsed to carry people()60. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to showA.it is smaller than the Clydesdale horse.B.horse used to have gentle personalities.C.some horses have better shaped than others.D.horses were ofless variety before domestication()61.Horses contributed to the spread of culture by.A.carrying heavy loads.B.changing farming methods.C.serving as a means of transportD.advancing agriculture in different areas.()62. Thepassageis mainly about.A.why human domesticated horses.B.how humans and horses needed each other.C.why horses came in different shapes and sizes.D.how human societies and horses influenced each other.Section CDirections : Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.(8%)Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married:Bob because he wanted Annie and she(though she was fond of Bob in her own way) because she could at last lead a life away from her family.When Mrs. Thompson suggested that they many and live with her in Dover Street until they could get a house of their own, Annie hesitated. Her ideal of marriage had been something which brought her a husband and an orderly, well-fiimished home all at once. But she soon saw the advantages of this arrangement.She would, first of all, escape from her present life into a house which was quiet and efficiently run, not like her own; and she would be able to go on working so that she and Bob could save up all the money more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class girl: good-natured and ready to be bent for her whenever it was necessaiy.Things went well until her mother-in-law r s death, when Annie had to give up her job and was at home all day. Her fether-in-law became just a silent figure in the house and although Bob became used to him? Annie began to find the old man's constant presence in the house a source of growing annoyance.“He gets on my nerves, Bob, "she said one niglit when they were alone. "Just sitting there all day and me having to clean up around him. And he hardly says a w ord from getting up in a morning to going to bed. ”“Well, I suppose he has a right to do as he likes, "Bob said mildly. "It's his house, not ours. We're the lodgers, if anybody. " But to Annie, now looking after the house as if it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)63.Annie was eager to get married because .64.What Annie had hoped for from married life was to have a husband and65.What kind of man was Bob?66.Why did Annie find her father-in-law annoying?第II卷I.Translation( 18%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance(依赖)on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants. The company is planning to improve the flavor of its meat as time goes on. In the near future, mankind is looking at the possibility of completely animal-free meats of all kinds.1. How does the smart needle work?A. By sending out light.B. By calculating time.C. By performing operations.D. By changing cancerous tissue.2. What are the burgers produced by Beyond Meat made of?A. Beef.B. Flour.C. Plants.D. Animal meat.3. What do the four things have in common?A. All of them are already on the market.B. All of them are inventions on the way.C. All of them attracted a lot of attention.D. All of them rely heavily on the Internet.BDear Dale,I want to be closer to my mom, but whenever I try to share things with her, she doesn’t understand. Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise(同样地), try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6. Why does Dale advise Skyline to ask her mom about her childhood?A. To encourage her mom to talk to her.B. To give her mom time to think of the past.C. To help her know more about her mom.D. To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria(疟疾)medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations(变异)in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl(e 潜水器). He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia-China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng-China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica(虚构的)Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C. A character in a literary work.D. The story made up by Pygmalion.13. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA. worship ofB. affection forC. marriage toD. sympathy for14. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?A. To improve the kids’ IQ.B. To pick out gifted students.C. To expand teachers’ influence.D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.15. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

To illustrate a famous monster film.B. To introduce a new way to volunteer.C. To tell more information of the monster.D. To offer readers a series of volunteer tasks.9.What's the advantage of micro-volunteering?______A. It's available only online.B. Volunteers need receive training.C. It's flexible and time-wise.D. It needs long-term commitments.10.What can people expect of micro-volunteering in the future?______A. It could take the place of traditional volunteering.B. It might have a great influence on the world at once.C. It can make people have more ongoing commitments.D. It may offer more chances for people to make a difference.11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?______A. Barriers to promoting good causesB. A wonderful complement to volunteeringC. Reflections on traditional ways of volunteeringD. An answer to the mystery of the Loch Ness MonsterDHow far back does your family tree go A hundred years?A thousand years?What about 6 to 7 million years?An ancient skull (颅骨) found in Africa suggests that the human family might be that old.Discovered in 2001 in the desert of Chad,the skull was nicknamed Toumai by scientists.Toumai is a rare find.The skull is nearlycomplete and it even includes a few teeth.The Toumai skull is estimated to be between 6 and 7 million yearsold.Scientists are debating whether the skull is linked to humans.The finding is not without controversy.Some scientists think that Toumai is the oldest known hominid (人科),or primitive human ancestor,ever found.Others say Toumai is an ape.Most hominids that scientists are aware of lived millions of years after Toumai.The most famous one is called Lucy.She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago.While Lucy's face looked like the face of a chimpanzee,Toumai's skull has both human and ape-like features.Because Toumai's skull looks different from other hominid skulls,some scientists think Toumai represents a whole new species.Scientists were surprised to find a human-like face on a skull as old as Toumai's.They thought hominids turned into humans step by step over time.Scientists marked those changes on a timeline starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and ending with modern humans.Toumai's human-like face and chimp-sized brain suggest that the development of hominids was not so simple.There may not be a direct line leading from Toumai to Lucy tous.Instead,the timeline might be like a tree with lots of branches.Different species in different places could have evolved human-like features at different times.Scientists aren't sure where exactly Toumai belongs on our family tree.Toumai could be like a great-great grandfather---or just a distant cousin.Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who wandered Earth millions of years ago.12.What can be inferred about the skull found in Africa?______A. It is connected with humans.B. It was named after a scientist.C. It may be the oldest chimpanzee.D. It is almost complete and unusual.13.What does the underlined word "controversy" in paragraph 3 mean?______A. Promotion.B. Cooperation.C. Argument.D. Prospect.14.How could hominids evolve into humans according to scientists?______A. They evolved in various ways.B. They developed like a tree with branches.C. They followed a direct line from Lucy to us.D. They had similar features in different places.15.What is the main idea of the text?______A. Toumai is probably the primitive human ancestor.B. A skull has an ape-like face and a human-like brain.C. How does Toumai skull fit into the human family treeD. How did a species evolve human-like features over time二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。

Communicate with artists.BOne of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律). Generally, English people are polite and always want to please others. On the other hand, they don’t like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.We often hear of the English "reserve"(矜持). On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sitting together, often there won’t be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. That wouldn’t be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too.The English value privacy (隐私) very much. An Englishman’s house usually has a small garden with a fence all around toseparate it from the neighbors’. An Englishman’s house is his castle.Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people —the Scottish dress. Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume —the kilt. This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men.The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.24 When the English are in a dangerous situation they usually_______.A. laugh at other peopleB. behave very bravelyC. hide their emotionsD. run away immediately25. In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York to ________.A. explain that Americans are reserveB. show the bad manners of AmericansC. show that English people are not very politeD. show the reserve of the English26. What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraphA. It’s long and just like a skirt.B. It’s worn by both men and women.C. It’s made of a special type of cloth in Scotland.D. It’s a traditional costume all over Great Britain.27. What can we learn about the English from the passageA. They are not very confident.B. A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe.C. They usually don’t respect others’privacy.D. They prefer a house with a garden to a flat.CDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy’s a winner, right Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn't’say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of heropponents says, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.28. We may infer that the author believes people should ________.A. buy lottery tickets if possible.B. be careful about what they are told.C. make use of half-truths.D. not trust the Yucky Company.29. How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceiveA. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.30. Which of the following is true according to the passageA. Using half-truths is against the law.B. Technically, half-truths are in fact lies.C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.31. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passageA. He’s really a big loser!B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C. Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.D. It’s against the law to make false statements.DIf you think a high-factor sunscreen (防晒霜) keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week’s Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas (黒瘤) and delays their occurrence, it can’t prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas--- the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection ---not sunscreen--- seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also don't use sunscreen properly ---applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying--- recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on (抹上) sunscreen and slap on a hat.32. What does the research in Nature say about a high-factorsunscreenA. It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.B. It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.C. It is ineffective with long-term exposure.D. It is ineffective for people with fair skin.33. What do we learn from the 2011 Australian study of 1,621 peopleA. Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.B. High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.C. Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.34. What does the author say about the second Australian studyA. It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.B. It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.C. It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.D. It confirms the results of the first Australian study.35. What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma ratesA. Using both covering up and sunscreen.B. Staying in the shade whenever possible.C. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.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。
