A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."(1)What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.(2)Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.(3)Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.(4)What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw(木瓜)? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato(冰淇淋)and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.(1)What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.(2)What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.(3)Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.(5)What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五(本题共计 1 小题,共计5分)7. (5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。

When he got dressed, he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing(熨), so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter(表). He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi.

People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, a nd no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise--he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.【1】There are _____ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage.A.3B.4C.6D.7【2】When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”.A.I give him the cold shoulderB.I think he is a cold-blooded manC.I think he is a cold fishD.I’m likely to get cold feetA.she is a cold-blooded killerB.she gets cold feetC.she is a cold fishD.she is out in the cold【4】We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.A.cold-blooded B.cold shoulderC.cold feet D.cold-hearted【5】The topic of this passage is about _________.A.the relationship between cold and our bodyB.some expressions about friendshipC.some expressions connected with coldD.how cold weather comes into being四、其他Do you blank out or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.But, don’t be afraid. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step to wards overcoming it.Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline (肾上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel hot and tired. With great anger they often shout or complain for no reason.If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety. When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you’re doing and make yo ur mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to “STOP!” This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.Important of all, talk to yourself using positive languages. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: “I've studied hard and I know the material, so I'm ready to do the best I can.”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities. Last but not least, start test preparation early-three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills-for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control. 【1】What is probably the best title of the passage? ( No more than 10 words )________________________________【2】Who will more easily suffer from test anxiety according to the passage? ( No more than 10 words)【3】What does the underlined word “hot” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? (No more than 3 words)________________________________【4】What makes you feel that you are in control of the test in the last paragraph? (No more than 7 words)________________________________【5】Do you think that a touch of anxiety can have a positive effect? And why? (No more than 20 words)假定你是李华,你的一位美国朋友Jane在北京学习中文两年,即将回国。

But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt orhungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.【1】Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A.they watch TV too often B.they have done too much homeworkC.they have to fulfill too many duties D.teachers are too strict with them【2】By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.A.when everything can be taught at schoolB.when every child can be educatedC.when children are permitted to receive educationD.when children are allowed to do what they wish to【3】The main idea of the passage is that _______.A.parents should leave their children aloneB.kids should have more activities at schoolC.it's time to be more strict with our kidsD.parents should always set a good example to their kids3.Bicy cles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured(had)three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles."I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine."You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride.B.You can improve your bicycle for science research.C.Many inventions are connected with the bicycle.D.Bicycles are the best way to go about【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students.B.Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research.C.Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem.D.Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’【3】The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______. A.make address written B.give up C.work at D.speak at【4】Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT ________.A.making knives sharp B.mixing any kind of drinksC.producing electricity D.operating a machine with its own electricity【5】It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.A.distant areas in the rainforest without electricity.B.the use of his own family to make life easier.C.the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforestsD.enough exercise by pedaling it4.I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been ab le to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.【1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.A.after Mother died B.before she became a writerC.when she was a child D.when mother gave it to her【2】The passage shows that _______.A.Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneB.Mother cared much about her daughter in wordsC.Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.D.Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter【3】The world “gulf ” in the passage means _______.A.deep understanding between the old and the young.B.different ideas between the mother and the daughter.C.free talks between mother and daughter.D.part of the sea going far in land.【4】What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?A.She had never received the letter.B.For years, she often talked about the letter.C.She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D.She read the letter again and again till she died.【5】What’s the best title of the passage?A.My letter to Mother B.Mother and ChildrenC.My Mother’s Desk D.Talks between Mother and me.四、单词拼写1.单词拼写.(根据首字母或汉语提示,每空填写一词)(10分)【1】There is no (可能) that the crisis will be over in a short time.【2】It is u to treat girls and boys differently.【3】His first speech as president made a strong i on his audience.【4】In front of the village lives a foreign j (记者).【5】I bought this house for it’s .(方便)【6】She lives in a pleasant neighborhood and enjoys her s (环境).【7】When I saw the new freshmen, my own first day at high school (闪现) into my mind. 【8】He’s (连续不断)disturbing me.【9】A medical team c of fifteen doctors has been sent to the front.【10】The old man who happened to see the accident gave a brief (描述)of what happened.2.完成下列句子,每空一词(18分)【1】Our classroom should be ________ (打扫) after class every day.【2】 (担心着)the time available, she made a list of the sitesshe wanted to visit.【3】Playing games on the Internet (占用) most of his time .【4】 (暴露) the wind and rain, the car looks quite old.【5】We can’t (专注地) studies with the cars’ noises going on.【6】除了几个单词外,我对法语一无所知。
高二一月月考(英语)试题含答案
高二一月月考(英语)(考试总分:120 分)一、阅读理解(本题共计3小题,总分25分)1.(7.5分)As a marathon runner and regular gym fan, physical fitness was my life. All that changed in May 1997 when I survived a near-deadly car accident. After several weeks in unconsciousness, I woke up with a raspy(沙哑的) voice and no balance. I had to relearn how to sit, stand, walk and move about. Seven years of physical treatment later, I began walking on my own, though slowly and haltingly(跛). I keep a walker around for when I need to move quickly.During all these years of recovery, I remained a gym fan. As I watched the personal trainers working with their customers, I knew I was as fit as they were. So I decided this would be my new purpose. I started studying for the personal training certification exam immediately. Once I did, my health club immediately hired me.However, if you don’t obtain customers, you don’t work. Who was going to choose me with a health club full of able-bodied trainers? A medical consultant suggested I teach group exercise classes in senior homes. Over time, I’ve been able to add more classes, such as balance exercises. Balance work is so important for older people. And for me too! Now the exercises I teach are helping me as much as they do my class. The years as a physical treatment patient have given me lots of cues to use as I teach my classes.A personal trainer —on a walker? It’s not something you see every day. While my students aren’t athletes or body builders, working with seniors gives me an audience that appreciates what I have overcome through regular exercise. I’m able to encourage them beyond what they thought they could do. No longer do my disabilities embarrass me or make me feel ashamed. They have led me to a new purpose in life: inspiring and encouraging thoseI serve.21. What new career would the author take up?A. A gym athlete.B. A marathon runner.C. A physical fitness instructor.D. A physical treatment consultant.22. What inspired the author to work again?A. His audience.B. Others’advice.C. His disabilities.D. The love for gym.23. Why did the author serve the old people?A. He was also a senior with disabilities.B. He couldn’t obtain young customers.C. He had much experience in the senior health.D. He was not as professional as the other personal trainers.2.(10分)As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.24. The passage begins with two questions to _________.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author’s attitudeC. describe how to use the InternetD. explain how to store information25. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to understand the information.D. The second group did not understand the information.26. In transactive memory, people _________.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the information27. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.3.(7.5分)From July to October every year, about a quarter of the world’s blue whales feed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. But the whales currently face a major threat in their favorite feeding area. Ships carrying cargo (货物)sail in the same area at the same time. All too often, the whales’ paths and the ships’ travel lines overlap (重叠), and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study, these ship strikes have become a serious threat to the overall population of the world’s blue whales. Only about 10,000 of the creatures still exist worldwide. Blue whales are the largest known animals ever to live on Earth. Even so, if hit by a container ship, a blue whale will likely die from its injuries.In 2007 alone, large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says that because there are so few whales already, losing three to five from the California whale population every year is a significant loss. “The estimated population of blue whalesin this part of the Pacific is 2,500”, says Sean Hastings, a NOAA analyst. “So every whale counts toward this species moving off the endangered-species list.”Now, marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giant container ships. One very simple program is already under way in the Santa Barbara Channel, a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby Channel Islands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container ships passing through the area to voluntarily slow down. Sailing slower will allow the ships crew (船员)more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the world’s largest shipping lines are set to participate in the new program. For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or below the reduced speed of 12 knots (海里/小时), the company that owns the ship will be paid $2,500.28. From Paragraph 1, we can know that_____.A. people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB. large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC. the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD. there is fewer fish in blue whales favorite feeding area29. According to Sean Hastings, it’s inferred that .A. the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B. the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C. most of the world’s blue whales live in the Pacific Ocean.D. blue whales are often disturbed by other endangered creatures.30. What are the last three paragraphs mainly about?A. The basic responsibility of a sailor.B. Measures to protect the blue whales.C. The world’s largest shipping lines.D. Ways to slow down the speed of the ships.二、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)4.(10分)How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. 31. _______ Yes, evenstudents of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here are some tips for you:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. 32._______ It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have enough time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.3. 33._______ Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.4. Study regularly. 34._______ Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about.

Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide more than grades. 35. _______A. Be volunteer to raise questions.B. Make good use of your time in class.C. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class.D. Those who make the best of their time study with more ease.E.

APeople tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become moreopen, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don’t know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than yo u wanted to.”1. The subject discussed in this passage is _______.A. how people do research studiesB. how people open up when emailingC. how to communicate at workD. how to discuss and solve a problem2. The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.A. they didn’t talk about very personal thingsB. they couldn’t see each otherC. the cameras on the computers were turned onD. they had to discuss a question3. In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.A. focus on oneself when emailingB. talk more freely in emails than usualC. consider how one uses email at workD. discuss any subject that one wants toBA new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Healthand Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily,it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋)may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons,they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.5. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of self.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.D. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.7. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. ConfusedB. DisapprovingC. DisinterestedD. ScaredCDevon, 17, is used to paying her own cell phone and car expenses. But lately it's been harder. The family she baby-sits for hasn’t been calling as much as usual and she couldn't find a job over the summer. Devon's dad said it's a sign of the tough economy. He told her he's feeling the pinch too and that he had to use her college fund to pay the loan(货款).This kind of money troubles isn't strange to common families these days. In fact, it's hard to avoid news about the economy on the screen of the TV or the computers recently. It can seem a bit worry and some families are hit really hard.For most people, the big problem is that things cost more ata time when they have less money to spend. But higher prices aren't the only problem. Many people are having a tough time making payments on some types of home loans.Therefore, some families are cutting back on what they spend. For example, eating out less, staying home instead of going on vacation, moving to a less expensive house and so on.However, as discouraging as things may seem now, the good news is that the economy always gets back on track after a while. Jobs may be hard to find, but the slow economy can open up new opportunities. The couple Devon babysat for might cut back on evening's out, but they could be interested in hiring her for after-school care. Perhaps it's time to sell her old toys and baby gear (设备)in the basement(地下室) or help others sell these items online if she is good at it. She could charge them a fee to sell their old stuff(东西).8. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph refer to?A. Getting hurt.B. Receiving less calls.C. Out of work.D. Short of money9. According to the passage, what constantly appears on the screen nowadays?A. News on the tough economy.B. Devon's family troubles.C. Advertisements for babysitters.D. Information on yard sales.10. What do people do to overcome the tough economy?A. To strike for high pay.B. To open a new store to sell toys.C. To cut down their expense.D. To move to other places for vocations.11.The passage is mainly about________A Devon’s own family money troublesB. family troubles made by tough economyC. ways of solving the slow economyD. the increasing prices and expensesDThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long asI’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion(反抗) is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”12. According to the author, teenage rebellion______A. may be a false beliefB. is common nowadaysC. existed only in the 1960sD. resulted from changes in families.13. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to __________.A. share family responsibilityB. cause trouble in their familiesC. go boating with their familyD. make family decisions14. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ____________.A. go to clubs more often with their childrenB. are much stricter with their childrenC. care le ss about their children’s lifeD. give their children more freedom15. What is the passage mainly about?A. Negotiation in family.B. Education in family.C. Harmony in family.D. Teenage trouble in family.EThe Farmers’ Fresh MarketThis morning,I went to the Farmers Market in Burlington ,Vermont. I didn’t know what the Farmers Market is or how to get there. 16First ,I had to decide how to go there,and I chose both to walk and to take a bus. When I went,I would walk and when I came back,I would take a bus. 17Walking to the market in this city,I was surprised because every house was beautiful,and they were all arranged in good order. In Korea’s cities,most houses are not like that,and many apartments are like boxes which often screen off beautiful views like hills and mountains. Also,every road is not straight and narrow. 1819 It was a very small market,but a very interesting one. I don’t know why farmers go there to sell vegetables or why people go there to buy them because there are many more products in large supermarkets. 20Also ,all the things sold there were very novel. In addition to fresh food,there was homemade food and many other things such as woolen blankets,quilts ,and wooden products.I wanted to buy some of them,but I didn’t need t hem,so I just looked at them. It was a very exciting experience.A. I visited a flower stand at the market.B. Anyway,I was able to find the Farmers’ Market.C. So, to me, this American town was very impressive.D. I decided to go early because the market is held in the morning.E. I knew that it would take a long time to walk,but I wanted to see an American town.F. I was attracted by the comfortable houses where they lived and the cars that they drove.G. I think the reason is that the ones sold in the Fa rmers’ Market are fresher and cheaper.II. 完型填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,共30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的`四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have.

Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人:审题人:(全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟)第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

I was 13 years old, sobbing in the car the whole way home as my school uniform stuck to my wet skin.The previous hour in the hydrotherapy(水疗)pool haunted me and I remembered how my weak neck gave way and my head slipped under the water, flooding my ears and nose.Physiotherapists circled around me, comforting me that I was OK. But my body didn't feel like it was mine. I had lost control. My swimming days were over.I was born with spinal muscular atrophy (脊髓性肌萎缩症), a genetic disease. It causes severe weakness in my limbs and, since I was a toddler (学步的儿童), I've used an electric wheelchair. My disability means I've never been able to stand or walk,but in the water, I was weightless and could move more freely.Swimming had once meant a lot to me, but after spinal surgery to try to combat the illness it became increasingly difficult. Visiting the hydrotherapy pool was alast-ditch attempt to return to the water. When the moment arrived, it was stressful.My tears weren't just because of the loss - they were an acceptance, too. I made the decision: I was never going back in the water again.For the first time as a young adult, I had to advocate for myself. Like other people with disabilities, I often feel societal pressure to push myself. Recognizing that swimming was unsafe and uncomfortable was a tough lesson about accepting the limitations of my body.I had to find other ways to connect with the water and my loss. Swimming is now impossible, but I still take joy from seeing my family and friends in thewater.Swimming was the first big physical loss in my life, and I know there will be others as I age, Everyday tasks I can complete now, such as cleaning my teeth or feeding myself, may become too difficult as the years pass. I've learned it's OK to miss what my body could do before and find ways to adapt and enjoy what I can do.24.How did the author feel on the way home from the hydrotherapy pool?A.ExcitedB.AshamedC.UpsetD. Relieved.25.What role did swimming serve for the author?A. A method to stay fit.B. A source of freedom.C. A proof of her ability.D. A way to connect with others.26.What does the underlined phrase “advocate for myself”in paragraph 5 imply?A.The author complained about his misfortune.B. The author forgave himself for his limitations.C. The author defended himself for his giving up.D. The author praised himself for his last attempt.27.What did the author intend to do in the end?A. Accept support from others.B. Learn new skills to push her limits.C.Avoid staying near the water.D. Seek joy within her capabilities.C篇Solar panels-also known as “photovoltaic" panels are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on waler. Bec ause these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaics".The idea isn't as unusual as it might seem. After all, any solar panel has to be waterproof, since it will be out in the rain. There are already several large floatovoltaic farms in Asia. On land, so panels are held up by special frames (框架).On the water, floatovotaics are placed on a floating platform attached to the boto of a lake or reservoir (水库). Floating solar panels cost about 25% more than those placed on land.The researchers behind the new study looked at 14.5555 reservoirs worldwide.They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large-more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year and 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world.Floatovoltaics can also help save water by limiting evaporation(热发)from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaics a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they're not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy.Floatovoltaics aren't perfect, Covering too much of a reservoir with panels could affect the plants and animals in the water. The scientists say it will be important to study how floating panels will affect water in each reservoir. Focusing first on man-made reservoirs will avoid some of those problems.28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To list solar panels' unusual functions.B. To show disadvantages of solar panels on land.C. To introduce the work ability of floating solar panels.D. To make a comparison between different solar panels.29.How did researchers carry out the new study?A. By looking at reservoirs worldwide.B. By making computer-aided estimates.C. By building floatovoltaic farms in the US.D. By processing data given by specialists.30.What do we know about floating solar panels?A. They are perfect except for the high cost.B. They function well in extreme hot weather.C. They will eventually replace photovoltaic panels.D. They may cause potential harm to water ecosystem.31. What is the suitable title for the text?A. Floating Solar Panels-Making Energy, Saving WaterB. Floating Solar Panels-A New Way to Cool the PlanetC. Floating Solar Panels: Our Final ChoiceD. Floating Solar Panels Take Us Back to WaterD篇When drones(元人机)first became widely available around 15 years ago, it wasn’t uncommon to find tech people painting dramatic pictures of how they were soon going to change the world. However, if you look up into the largely empty sky,you can see that hasn’t happened yet.Sure, drones eful for taking aerial (空中的) photos, but we're a long way away from aerial superhighways, packed with autonomous drones carrying parcels at speeds that are near-impossible on the ground.In 2016, Amazon announced it had completed its first ever aerial delivery. In a video, we saw an Amazon"Prime Air" drone pick up a parcel and fly it across the countryside landing in the buyer's garden, dropping the parcel, and then returning to its home base. But Amazon still hasn't completed its second drone delivery. In fact, it has reportedly downsized the drone program.So, will drone delivery ever be a thing? There are some indications of a possible drone delivery future not in Britain, but in Africa, Because also since 2016, rural hospitals in Rwanda have been receiving regular shipments of medical supplies by drone thanks to a company called Zipline. It surely has saved lives, thanks to the speed at which blood can be delivered in a country with a poorly developed road network. So could we ever expect such a system here?Unfortunately,there's a big difference between rural Africa and thickly populated Britain. British homes don't have large gardens where to land and nobody wants loud large drones constantly landing around the neighborhood. Another reality is that British cities may still have security and safety concerns about routinely having drones carrying stuff over our heads.That's why 1 wonder if the real drone future could be crawling(爬) along the ground. For a few years,“autonomous delivery robots”with wheels have been walking on the pavements. So perhaps we're not so far away from a drone delivery future, but the reality might be a little bit more down to earth.32.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Drones are widely used in daily life.B. Drones have made delivery efficient.C. Drones are designed to take aerial photos.D. Drones haven't changed the world as expected.33.Why does the author mention Zipline's drone delivery?A. To explain the process of drone delivery.B. To stress the benefits brought by drone delivery.C. To discuss the possibility of a drone delivery future.D. To show ts advantages over Amazon's drone delivery.34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The security and safety concerns about drones.B. The ways that British people react to drone delivery.C. The differences between African countries and Britain.D.The reasons why drone delivery isn't suitable for Britain.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Pie in the SkyB. Drone Application at RiskC. Robots on the RoadD. Aerial Delivery in Progress第二节七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,”she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and foundsome papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.25. The passage shows that ______.A. mother cared much about her daughter in wordsB. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterD. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words26. The underlined word “gulf”in the fourth paragraph means ______.A. different ideas between the mother and the daughterB. deep understanding between the old and the youngC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land27. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She read the letter again and again till she died.D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.28. What’s the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC. Talks between Mother and MeD. My mother’s DeskCCar crashes are the top killer of American teenagers.Most of the crashes result from distracted driving not paying attention to the road.Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree.He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in 2008.Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent, involved drivers aged fifteen to twenty.Ryan's father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Montgomery County, Maryland.He said, "It was an inexperienced, immature driver who felt that he was invincible(不可战胜的), driving at night with a carload of kids.He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some upsetting experiences and tragedy for the rest of the community."Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company said "The number one cause of distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone.Talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving.If you're texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't.Reaching for a cell phone when it's going off, you're nine times more likely to get into an accident than normally driving," The insurance industry recently held a safety event near Washington for teen drivers.At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children.He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road.Then, as part of the test, he started texting. He hit several cones and at least one doll.Debbie Pickford from the Allstate Insurance Company said, "Teens are especially at risk from distracted driving—and not just because they lack experience on the roads.What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they are twenty-five years old. You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”29.According to the passage, _____is the most likely to lead to a traffic accident while you are driving.A.texting on the mobile phone B.reaching for a cell phone.C.talking on the mobile phone D.bringing along a cell phone 30.A safety event held by insurance industry was meant to _ _.A.attract more teenagers to take part in itB.draw enough attention to teenagers' distracted drivingC.make more teenagers practice avoiding large barriersD.encourage more teenagers to pay for insurance protection31.The passage is probably followed by a concluding paragraph about ____. A.much higher risk B.teen brain developmentC.experience on the roads D.measures to be taken32. Of all the following, which is the best title for the passage?A. Car Crashes —the Top Killer.B. Distracted Driving —Let's Avoid!C. Drunken Driving —Dangerous Enough!D. Tips on Driving While CallingDAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very probably be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact witheach other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.33. The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him____________.A. at birthB. through educationC. neither at birth nor through educationD. both at birth and through education34. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_____________________.A. become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life.35. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the importance of their positionsC. the role of environment on intelligenceD. the part that birth plays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。

The headmaster was looking at his students' papers.4.(8分)CSan Francisco has decided that its city government workers can’t use computer programs that recognize faces. It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯),but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.(8分)DMany people think of the brain as a mystery(神秘).They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb(愚笨的)—and stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink(萎缩)and you get weaker.That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells(神经细胞).Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow.Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy.The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.32.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is.B.A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle.C.Both muscles and the brain are important to humans.D.Intelligence exists in both humans and animals.33.By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat .A.exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB.exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC.everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD.everyone should learn as many new things as possible34.Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need .A.to be well taken care of B.a good communication between personsC.help from scientists D.our learning new things35.What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Strong B.Lovely C.Smart D.Active三、阅读七选五(本题共计1小题,总分10分)6.(10分)How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that. As certain as the sun will rise, our inboxes will be full by mid-morning.Honestly, we’ve done it to ourselves. We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result, we have made ourselves pay attention to every one of them. This is terrible, 37 Every time an e-mail interrupts you, it costs time, money, and brainpower.Here are some of my best tips to manage emails:38 You can’t get into work if you check emails every ten minutes. Instead, you should set certain times to check your inbox, like the top of every hour or every 90 minutes. Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.Scan your inbox. 39 At the same time, leave out everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.40 Instead of creating an email, try speaking with the person you want to communicate with. Often, a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email.e a phone.B.Set a schedule.C.Talk to the person.D.Email is our friend and the enemy.E.Because email can interrupt our work and life.F.Looking through the emails quickly can save your time.G.Email is becoming more and more important in our lives四、完形填空(本题共计1小题,总分30分)7.(30分)I’ve read lots of stories about family memories.In those 41, I’ve found voice of sadness and longing.It’s true that so much in our daily lives makes us 42 all the time.We find ourselves with less and less time to spend with our 43and friends.I’ve had the same 44 myself.I used to have 45times with my grandfather when we lived together.When I was very young, I often enjoyed spending time in his 46, watching the flowers and watering the fruit trees.But as I grew up, I 47 became “selfish”.Once, when I was 6, we went shopping together.As we took the wrong bus and ended up getting 48 , unable to find our way back, I couldn’t stay 49and shouted rudely in his face.I was so stubborn that I wouldn’t say sorry 50 returning home, thinking I had done nothing wrong.Now I 51 how ridiculous I was at the time!

Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a high chance of stopping attending school. in the early grades especially, experts sayyoungsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than alone so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work together, to disagree, to coorperate, to take turns and decrease tensi ons. These skills can’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills.”At certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by a home clock but by the outside world. Just as the 1-year-old struggle to walk, 6-year-old are struggling to meet adult expectations. Young kids don’t know how to tell effort and ability apart, says Tynett e Hills, coordinator(协调员)of early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey. If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to finish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods of comparison such as p osting grades, can be serious.
