We both wanted to get to sleep, but before we could, I had to put a cannuta(针管）in her arm.Before becoming a doctor I'd only a vague idea what a cannula was, coming from an hour spent with a plastic arm while at medical school. Once I became a doctor, however, I couldn't seem to get away from them.For those of you who are lucky enough to have never come into contact with one, they're tmy Mtle rubes that are put into a vein(静脉）so that fluid or medicines can go directly into the blood. That's the theory. Unfortunately, the problem is that for them to work, you have to get them into the vein in the first place This tends to be trickier than you'd imagine- and it's a job that tends to fall on the junior doctors.Mrs GiJifeather's veins were particularly elusive that evening. I'd been jabbing the needle in for least 20 minutes.“Isn't there someone else who could do this?” she asked, for th e fourth time. “Someone who k nows what they're doing, perhaps,- she said under her breath, just loud enough for me to hear.Finally, I got it in. Mrs. Gillfeather and I both breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to leave the ward, the nurse called me over, "Max, there’s another cannula to d0 on bed 16. ”25.

By learning from parents,D.By practicing with a plastic ami.28. What is the best title of the passage?A.Practice was in vain.B.An unfortunate doctor.C.All my efforts paid off.D.A medical accident.COn 20th July 1969, millions of people saw Neil Armstrong take his first steps in space on television. Armstrong got out of the spacecraft Apollo 11，touched the ground of the moon and said, “That’s one small step for man，one giant leap for mankind.”A conspiracy(阴谋）theory has existed since the night of his lunar landing. Armstrong's achievements were considered amazing，but people wondered if it really happened. Many people believe that the scene on the moon wasn’t real. Rumours spread throughout coffee shops, street comers, and newspapers, but it soon died down.But theories resurfaced in 2001. Suspicion began when an American television network aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon7 The show argued that NASA did not have the money for such a voyage, and that the whole scene was probably filmed in a movie studio. Many critics say that there were no stars in the background during the lunar landing，so it must have been a fake. They also point out that the American flag that was posted was waving. How could that be if there is no wind on the moon?NASA(NationaI Aeronautics and Space Administration) has denied these rumours many times. They explained that now photographers can capture the brightness of the astronauts with the dimness of the stars behind them. Also, they said that the flag was waving because the astronauts were pulling it back and forth trying to get it deeper into the rock. NASA also points out that the television program fails to mention that Armstrong and his team brought back 800 pounds of rock from the moon.Neil Armstrong is seen as a national icon in the US and his lunar landing isone of the most historic events in the country's history. But either way, this conspiracy theory still exists today,29. What didn't the TV program Did We Land on the Moon? mention?A.moneyB. starsC.the flagD.rocks30. How did NASA react to the rumo?A. siunvcd great angerB.It had to accept the rumor.C. It turned a deaf ear to the rumor.D.

Tim Famum is the founder of a group called 'Parents Against Underage Smartphones His propesal would ban sales of smartphones to children under the age of 13. It would also ban sales to anyone who wishes to buy such a device for anyone younger than 13.The measure would also require sellers of smartphones to provide proof to the state government that they have asked buyers if the phone is for anypne under 13.The measure now needs about 300,000 signatures in toappear on Colorado's statewide ballot (投票权）next year. If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, Colorado's would become the first state to have such a ban.Tim Farnum said he decided to push for the measure after watchinghis own children struggle with the mental effects of always having a smartphone around .They would get the phone and lock themselves in the room and change who they were,”he told The Coloradoan newspaper.State Senator John Kefalas, a Democrat, said he understands the reasoning behind the proposed l aw. However, he told The Coloradoan that a child’s smartphone usagei s a "family matter and not something the government should decide. “Ultimately, this comes down to parenting,” he sai d,“making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk.”Last year，the AAP (the American Academy of Pediatrics) released guidelines for media use by children. The group advised parents to limit time spent watching videos to no more than one hour a day of high-quality programming until age 6. After that, it said, parents should set reasonable time limits for their children and make sure electronic devices do not take time away from sleep or exercise.32.

After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur‟s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.

Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价)your child's work at home. Don't always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn't done.

Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence on this environmental hazard.David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物降解的) products came from concern at the country’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four of the world’s worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem,Evoware decided to deal with that first.After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike commonly used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s easy for the company to find the material.Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups, which can break down 30 days after they’re thrown away.While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.24. What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.B. Means to contribute to the country’s economy.C. How to deal with single-use packaging.D. What nutritious materials for people to use.25. Why did Evoware choose seaweed?A. It didn’t require much space and was easy to get.B. It could be found everywhere in his country.C. It was most commonly used for packaging.D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.26. What can we infer from Christian’s words?A. Their seaweed products have won government support.B. Their new products have received worldwide popularity.C. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.D. Sometimes it’s hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.27. What does the underlined word “hard-sell” (in Para. 5) refer to?A. Something lasting long.B. Something hard to accept.C. Something easy to get.D. Something commonly seenCEven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen，complaining，“Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewi ng. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes，”she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again！”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars，swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and “I saw her. we’ll see about that look”The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm，” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced，and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.On night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing, and I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom，” I said，weeping，“none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said，“Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.28．From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ________．A．the skill to throw and catch thingsB．the speed of one’s hand movementC．the strength and skill to hang and swayD．the bodily skill to rotate round a bar29．What does the sentence “I saw her‘we’ll see about that look” imply?A．Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.B．The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C．Mom was determined to prove herself better than the teacher.D．What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.30．When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because________．A．they felt sorry for what they had done beforeB．they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurtC．they wanted to see what the author would do on the barsD．they were astonished to find the author’s progress31. In the last paragraph, what “I” knew from mom’s tear?A. She felt sorry about my experience.B. She felt sad about me and she underwent a lot for family.C. She is a weak woman.D. What “I” said made mom angry.DApple announced its new iPhones last week, but competitors’ mobile phones can do many of the same things for less money.The new iPhone 8 and X have wireless charging, edge-to-edge glass screen and double cameras. But all of these features are alread y available in smart phones from China’s Huawei and Oppo, and Korea’s Samsung. While Apple asks buyers to pay $1,000 for its high-end model, some Asian phone makers can offer similar features for less.At one time, Chinese manufacturers copied features and designs from others to produce low-cost phones.

But they now export 40 percent of their smart phones. That is almost double the number from just three years ago, according to the HongKong investment company CLSA.Huawei is currently the world’s third largest phone maker behind Samsung and Apple. According to research company Canalys, the Chinese company is getting closer to second-place Apple and mightovertake it later this year. Huawei plans to show its top-of-the-line Mate 10 phone on Oct. 16.

2020 学年高二英语上学期期中测试试题六新人教版
2020学年高二英语上学期期中测试试题六阅读理解（一）From the earliest times，man has been interested in art．People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures．Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris，France．The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries．The Louvre has not always been a museum．The first building was a fort（炮台）．In 1190，it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower．It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in ．Over the years，the number of buildings around the castle grew．By 1350，the castle was no longer needed as a fort．The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens．During times of peace，new treasures were brought in．During days of war，many treasures were stolen，and the buildings were damaged．When Francis I became king of France in 1515，he brought in artists from many countries．One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy．Da Vinci's"Mona Lisa"is the best known painting in the muse um today．In 1793，the Louvre became a public museum，just as it is now．It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy．1．On the whole，this passage is mainly about____．A．an art museum called the LouvreB．an Italian artist named Leonardo da VinciC．a king of France named Francis ID．the best known painting in Louvre2．Why is it good for great art to be kept in public museums？A．It helps people remember who the King of France is．B．It keeps people out of the palaces．C．It gives everyone a chance to enjoy good art．D．It helps people to know who is the greatest artist．3．From the passage we know that _____．A．it is not possible for treasures to be stolenB．old forts always make the best museumsC．great art should be shared with all the peopleD．king Francis I of France brought in artists from an old fort4．In the third paragraph the word"moat"probably means_____．A．a high tower built in former times where soldiers watched out for enemies B．a long and deep ditch（沟） dug round a castle and was usually filled with water C．a cart pulled by horses on which soldiers foughtD．a long and high wall around castle（二）Good health is the most valuable thing in the world. When you’ve got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation (刺激). Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of c offee.The danger is when these innocent pleasures run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent (频繁的) drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.All right, I know wha t you’re thinking. You’re probably saying, “It’s easy to say, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pleasures that I can’t do without them.” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that, you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.5. The underlined word “innocent”(in Paragraph 2) means ________.A. not having done something wrongB. exciting or cheeringC. not having much experienceD. not expected to cause harm6. This passage is mainly about ________.A. terrible diseases and so onB. enjoying pleasures after a busy dayC. the difficulty of controlling ourselvesD. the danger of too much drinking, smoking and eating7. “I can’t help myself” means ____________.A. I can’t do it myselfB. I must ask someone to helpC. I can’t control myselfD. Do help me, please.（三）All over the world people enjoy sports, Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.Many people like to watch others play games. They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when "their" player or team wins. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for(参加) them. Football, for example, has spread(展开)around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train(培养,训练) a person’s character(性格,品格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(胜不骄，败不馁).8.

Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones.Sports 1: Basketball.We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park .To cover the cost of hiring a bus ,each student will have to pay ＄10 each time. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.Sports 2: GymWe will be using St.Pet er’s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing their park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has lot of trees with plenty of shade.

It can be concluded thatA. each sport will take only on hourB. students will be charged for the four sportsC. all the sports will take place at Kowloon PeakD. teachers will accompany students on each sport20. The purpose of the memo is toA. attract students’interest in the programmeB. require the parents to select a sport for their childC.help the staff explain the programme to the parentsD.remind teachers and lifeguards to be present on time（六）A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?”When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.21. When the author came to America at first ______.A. he usually did some work with a little payment.B. he used to beg for some money on the street.C. he lived a comfortable life as a network engineer.D. he was respected by others all the time.22. According to the passage, what did the author regret?A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman.B. The way he treated the blind woman.C. That he came to WashingtonD.C. for a visit.D. That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.23. The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______.A. to encourage his son to make a living by himselfB. his son to become a busboy in the futureC. his son to work harder at schoolD. to remind his son to depend on himself at school24. We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.A. He disliked being bothered by beggars.B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars.C. He once suffered a lot.D. The blind woman didn’t beg for money at that time.25. What does the author want to tell us through this story?A. Don’t dream up ways to get what you want.B. Money is the root of all evils.C. An easy life makes a person forgetful.D. Be good to others all the time.（七）Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things we need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Lots of the money today is made of paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Some Africans once used elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt as money.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history, from the days of shell money until today.26. In the Philippines Islands ______ was once used as money.A. riceB. knifeC. clothD. wheat27. What was first used as money? ______.A. Elephants tusksB. ClothC. SaltD. Shells28. The first metal coins looked like ______.A. square-shaped with some designs on themB. square-shaped with a round hole in the centerC. round-shaped with a square hole in the middleD. round-shaped with a round hole in the middle29. The first paper money ______.A. was passed from west Asia to ChinaB. looked like a note used todayC. was first used in EuropeD. looked like a piece of fur30. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. paper money isn’t difficult to makeB. money must be suited to carryC. people need money to exchange goods with each otherD. people prefer metal coins to paper notes（八） In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little – noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.Before the appearance of television seats, the American dinner was a big event for the family. In many homes dinner time may be the only time when everyone got together.A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and Father frequently helped with setting while Mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members sh ared the day’s experiences and more than food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity（团结）was strengthened. In the cleaning –up stage, children or Father again gave their hands, so that their significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just twenty minutes long. The speed – up of this once – leisurely experiences is clearly connected to the overall pace of modern life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half –hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.60. According to the passage, the American family is now threatened by .A. povertyB. having few childrenC. poor living conditionsD. separation61. In the past, Americans tended to .A. spend more time eating their food at dinner tableB. eat more food than they have todayC. spend more time talking about their day’s experience at dinner tableD. talk so much that they forg ot to eat62. The shortening of the dinner time in America is related to .A. the TV programsB. the pace of modern lifeC. the wide use of household appliancesD. the popularity of fast food专题二七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）(一)The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the futureholds.1. CuriosityYour children need to be deeply curious. 37 Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?” and then try them out. Did those ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?2. CreativityTrue creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new from it. 38 There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.3. Personal skillsUnderstanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 39 “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”4. Self Expression40 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas ---- music, acting, drawing, building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.A.Encourage kids to cook with you.B.And we can’t forget science education.C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.D. We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories.E. Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill.F. So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?G. Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.(二) Evaluating Sources (来源) of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sourcesof healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 71 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whetherit was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 73 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; t his does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 73 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 74 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).75 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choice that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.(三) Why is setting goals important? ____51____ Instead of just letting life happento you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.____52____ It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on amap. She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. The other driver has no goal, or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?____53____ They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. ____54____ You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.55____ Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.A．Winners in life set goals and follow them through.B．Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are.D．It's difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map.E．By setting goals you are taking control of your life.F．Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. G．Because everybody should have a goal in his mind.(四) Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed time to time. 71 Some ways of dealing with stress ---- like screaming or hitting someone一don't solve (解决)，much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.Try taking these four steps. the next time you are stressed:(1) Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to “trusted adult, such as “parent or other relatives. 72 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.(2) Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself. 73(3) Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adultsand friends, it's time to get down to business. 74 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away,especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 75A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.C. Different people feel stress in different waysD. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.E. You need to figure out what the problem is.F. And don't forget about your friends.G. Then, find a way to calm down.(五) Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often :ability, money and time. 36_____. Money is a topic I’ll save for another day.So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spent in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule.1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungryand there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 37____2.Make your time worth it .When you do find time to cook a meal , make the mostof it and save yourself time later on .Are you making one loaf of bread ? 38 .It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something .So save yourself the effort for future meal .3.39 This may surprise you , but one of the best tools for making cookingworth your time is experimentation .It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.。

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Stress：Good or Bad?Stress used to be an almost unknown word, but now that we are used to talking about it, I have found that people are beginning to get stressed about being stressed.In recent years，stress（21）（regard） as a cause of a whole range of medical problems, from high blood pressure to mental illness. But like so many other things, it is only too much stress （22） does you harm. It is time you（23）________(consider) that if there were no stress in your life, you would achieve a little. If you are stuck at home with no stress, then your level of performance will be low. Up to a certain point, the more stress you are under, the（24）_______（good） your performance will be. Beyond a certain point, though, further stress will only lead to exhaustion, illness and finally a breakdown. You can tell when you are over the top and on the downward slope, by asking yourself （25） number of questions. Do you, for instance, feel that too much is being expected of you, and yet find（26） impossible to say no？Do you find yourself getting impatient or（27）（annoy）with people over unimportant things？…If the answer to all those questions is yes, you had better（28）（control）your stress, as you probably are under more stress than is good for you.To some extent, you can control the amount of stress in your life. Doctors have worked out a chart showing how much stress is involved（29）_______various events. Getting married is 50, pregnancy 40, moving house 20, Christmas 12, etc. If the total stress in your life is over 150, you are twice as likely（30）（get）ill.Section B (10分)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people___31___ value individualism——the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the____32___ that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work ____33____and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient ___34____ society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching __35____ are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these____36___ of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it ___37___students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an____38_____ learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values ___39____ ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven't ___40____as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.III． Reading ComprehensionSection A (15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible．Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to （41）our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy．For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they（42）. As a member of that group, you would likely （43） that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be （44） to really get behind yourself．Because you might fear that your （45） would not pay off．Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not （46） would probably stop your trying．And that would be a major （47）to invest your energy in your dream．On the other hand，belief isn't anything （48）．If you found a way to （49）_______ that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the possibility of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas and dreams is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market．And in both cases, （50） plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something．One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable（51） we sometimes think．There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our（52） in, such as passion, feeling, and sense．Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the（53） opinion held by ordinary people about what will work．In the same way，we can learn to trust our heart's desires and our sense to guide us,（54）____ any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we（55） the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper．41．A．simplify B．challenge C．eliminate D．maintain 42．A．possessed B．trusted C．objected D．missed43．A．reject B．preserve C．deny D．share44．A．willing B．sorry C．reluctant D．ready45．A．success B．knowledge C．profession D．investment46．A．devoted B．talented C．concerned D．interested 47．A．obstacle B．excuse C．chance D．principle 48．A．important B．fixed C．changeable D．stimulating 49．A．enhance B．reserve C．release D．follow50．A．energy B．hobby C．expense D．belief51．A．guide B．ability C．goal D．policy52．A．aim B．faith C．task D．dream 53．A．unacceptable B．strange C．unbelievable D．common54．A．questioning B．understanding C．interpreting D．believing55．A．stick to B．lead to C．free up D．leave outSection B（11×2=22分）Directions: Read the following three passages.

But it may also lead to problems.A recent study by scientists from the University of Kansas (KU) in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online.Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “how much does it help you?”The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.Generally, when people feel socially excluded, they seek out other ways to reduce the feeling of loneliness. Normal ways include increasing their number of social media friends or engaging in behaviorsto seek out interaction with other people, according to Jenny Olson, assistant professor of marketing at KU.But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.“As soon as we tell people we know that it looks like the [vacuum cleaner] is smiling, they seemed to realize it was a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.”Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.“If som eone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.”The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction.“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”63. Researchers from the University of Kansas found that________.A. human-like devices may help people interact with others.B. interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely.C. lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices.D. human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction in real life.64. During the experiments, participants__________.A. were allowed to talk with human-like devices.B. were shown devices with human features.C. played online games with both machines and real people.D. were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction.65. The underlined phrase “this effect” in Paragraph 7 refers to the fact that________.A. lonely people are more likely to seek out interaction with other people.B. lonely people are content to only interact with human-like machines.C. the feeling of loneliness deepens as people interact more with human-like devices.D. people who are socially excluded would get uninterested in socializing.66. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson?A. It shows people why human-like products make them feel lonely.B. It warns people to stop using human-like devices completely and focus on real social interaction.C. It may help the well-being of people who feel lonely and improve their current relationships.D. It points out the effects of human-like devices and could help companies improve their products. Section C （4×2=8分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. 67 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and TB (肺结核) combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world's most populous continent. 68 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat.69 They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over-use of farming land. All these factors affect food production. Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food. 70 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.第II 卷 (共40分)I.

Research papers B．News reports．C．Private e﹣malls． D．Daily conversations．10．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer？A．They're socially inactive．B．They're good at telling stories．C． They're careful with their wordsD．They're inconsiderate of others．11．Which tended to be the most e﹣mailed according to Dr。
