But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion，a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family. Although they are not human beings(人类), their behavior sometimes is better than human beings, for they are always loyal to their owners. There are always many stories about brave and smart pets. We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets. If they are not taken good care of, they will become very dirty and easily get ill. So pets are helpful to us but keeping pets is not an easy job.51.

Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.There are many benefits〔好处〕of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient〔有效率〕after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more alert〔灵活〕. It may even cheer you up.But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap.

I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!〞even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight〔聚光灯〕was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump〔隆起局部〕in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory〔象牙色的〕keys.Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically〔自动地〕.My eyes burned holes into〔were fixed on〕the pages in front of me.There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning〞feat〔技艺〕, I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.44.

If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation 〔情况〕. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage before China,〞said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application〔申请〕to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.“I don’t like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea’s move,〞said Jin Yutong, a Senior One student. “We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors〔祖先〕.〞With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue〔争论〕about which country the festival belongs. “Everyone can say that it came from China,〞said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage togethe r, they will all benefit.〞48.

Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded〔下结论〕that the right decision is to move to Chicago.〞Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving: “It’s surprising, but exciting!〞she sai d. Peter simply said, “We can’t go —I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!〞When the morning of the move arrived, Peter was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy’s house, but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t se en Peter.

江苏省南通市启东中学高一英语七选五专题试卷
江苏省南通市启东中学高一英语七选五专题试卷With the rapid development of technology, people’s pace of life has sped up. But not everyone enjoys the fast pace of life. Often, the more tightly people schedule their tasks, the more likely they are to lose their original direction and fail to see the real meaning of life. ____1____First of all, the fast pace of life makes a person feel too tired to stay sharp. Once they have just completed a task, another task is waiting and this wears them out.____2____By contrast, a slow pace of life allows people to have leisure (休闲的)time to relax and prepare for the next task.____3____ To keep up with the competition, one has to meet deadlines and race against time. In this way,he will be in low spirits. But living a slow life allows people to find the beauty of life. So we should advocate a healthy slow pace of life.However, some people think that living a fast life improves work efficiency.They think that keeping a slow pace is just an excuse for lazy people not to work,and encourages procrastination (拖延). ____4____ What slow life advocates is to slow down the pace of life, so that people can have time to think and relax rather than procrastinate. What’s more, we will better understand the meaning of life and face challenges positively.____5____Read a book and drink a cup of tea on a leisurely afternoon, for example. So please give yourself a little more time to stop and smell the roses fro m no w on. Let’s be positive about life, love life, and embrace life!A．So procrastination can’t be a voided.B．After all, there is a limit to humans’ ability.C．From m y point of vie w, this statement is one-sided.D．Next, the fast pace of life brings great pressure to people.E．Finally, the slow pace of life offers people more free time.F．Imagine how pleasant it would be to enjoy a nice slow life.G．In my opinion, we should calm down and slow our life downLanguage is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. ___6___ Here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___7___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___8___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also means that there is something for everyone! Eve n if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___9___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share thatemotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song. ___10___ A．Different culture makes different music.B．Both language and music play a huge role in our lives.C．You can guess where someone is from by listening to their language.D．By reading pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time.E．In contrast, you have probably also listened to sad music when you were feeling down. F．Of course, you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. G．We have all used music to express our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics.Some people succeed, while others do not.___11___ The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.___12___. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal.___13___ . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余）.___14___. They are more than just optimistic--- they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way.To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. ___15___ . While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities.Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do.If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!A．Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.B．You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.C．Having proper motivation is not optional--- it is another key to success.D．This is because some people own certain qualities that others do not have.E．Their stories will encourage and inspire you as you climb the ladder of success. F．Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and you will see yourself begin to grow. G．Another quality that helps people succeed is the ability to do and think about things in new and different ways.Why do more and more people show interest in cultural heritage (遗产) these days?____16____ Maybe it’s because technology has made it easier to learn about our ancestors. Here’s a list of several ways to connect you with your cultural heritage.If you aren’t sure where your ancestors are fr om, a DNA test can be a good way. Companies like Family Tree DNA will sell you a testing box that teaches you what to do. ____17____ There have been concerns about the safety—your DNA information sold to companies without asking you. If a DNA test isn’t yo ur cup of tea, you can try several other ways.One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about your family tree is sitting down with an olderrelative to chat about it. Talk in person with a grandparent, great-grandparent, or any other family member who’s be en around long enough to tell you about the past. ____18________19____ So one way to bridge the gap between your family’s past and present is to cook a traditional meal. If your ancestors are from Italy, you can learn how to host an Italian dinner party. Invite some relatives to share your common heritage over a meal.Learning a language is a unique way to connect with your ancestors and culture. ____20____ Once you’ve known the language of your ancestors, you may want to get in touch with your heritage by picking up the basics of that language.A．Food is part of your cultural heritage.B．This is a great way to learn about your ancestors.C．You generally get your test results within a few weeks.D．It can also let you meet new people and have more experiences.E．Food can help you feel like you’re truly experiencing that culture.F．People are eager to learn as much about our ancestors as possible.G．Perhaps they want to have a sense of belonging in our globalized world.Understanding cultural body language in other countries is key to managing efficient communication, especially when we have not yet mastered a foreign language. ___21___ I hope these will help you socialize when you try to communicate with foreigners in spite of the language barrier (障碍).Head movementsIn some parts of India, people tilt (倾斜) their heads from side to side to confirm something and show that they are actively listening. In western countries, people nod to show agreement.___22___Eye contactIn western culture, visual contact when you speak to someone is considered a positive aspect of body language. Strong visual contact is common in Spain and the Arabic culture among people of the same sex. Not looking back when someone is looking at you is considered impolite, showing insecurity or disinterest.___23___ In Caribbean communities, children and teenagers are taught not to look at adults in the eyes when they are being corrected.Greetings and goodbyesShaking hands is a normal and formal way to greet or say goodbye in western countries.___24___ In Romania, for example, only men usually do it. And they shake hands every time they meet, not just the first! In England, however, it’s unusual to shake hands with someone you are introduced to in an informal setting. Kissing cheeks is something done in many countries, especially in Europe, though the number of kisses, the occasion for doing so, and which cheek they start off on vary.___25___ When you communicate with foreigners, one secure way is to understand. respect and follow the culture.A．Body language varies from country to country.B．But it’s done in different contexts in different countries.C．However, in Greece, nodding actually means the opposite meaning.D．Here are a selection of gestures (姿势) and their meanings in different cultures.E．Some cultures, such as Japanese culture, consider long-time visual contact awkward. F．Here are five communication skills that you should keep in mind when in a foreign country. G．However, in different countries, people may have different explanations about hands shaking. Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don't they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn't that hard. Follow the steps below. ____26____!Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best, listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. ____27____, which will enable you to get a great job in the future. School sets you up on the right track!Be nice to your parents and teachers. ____28____. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they make you slightly angry sometimes. Keep in mind that they do the things they do because they care about you and want you to succeed in life. You don't get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you're an adult, you don't get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.____29____! Friends are there to support you and lift your spirits. Be with people who make you happy, and stay away from the ones who don’t. Create a group of supportive, loving friends that can help you succeed in life and live your dreams. Find a few really good friends that will stick with you once you leave high school.Get active! Join a sports team at school or out of school. Go for a run around your neighborhood. Take your dog on a nice, long walk, go swimming, do sit-ups-anything! Just exercise! ____30____. Studies show that people who get active in their child/teen years will be more active whenthey're adults, so start getting active now.A．Have good friends to help you outB．Successful teenage years will comeC．It helps you feel better, mentally and physically.D．This could be your job for the rest of your life!E．Doing so will help you get into a better collegeF．When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.G．Remember, they're there to help you be the best that you can beToday it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthroug h，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure togive that “Go away!” signal.____34____ It’s probably part of t he growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved. Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly. I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.A．Our instruments are changing quickly.B．I also have wires hanging from my ears.C．In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.D．I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.E．After all，I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.F．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”. G．Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions. Until two weeks ago, sixth graders could be found playing football. Recess(课间休息)was a time to play, learn, and exercise. Then, football was banned for being “too dangerous”. Now you'll find us lying on the grass and wishing for something to fill our time with.Football is a good source of exercise. The TIME for Kids article, “Fighting Fat in Kids,”talks about different ways to fight obesity(肥胖).____36____We need football so we don't grow up to be unhealthy and get diseases like diabetes or heart disease.___37___With big teams it doesn't leave anyone out like other games Just picture it: Every child in sixth grade can be invited to play together! Whether you are a great player or a beginner, there is always a place for you on the team!Some people think football is only for boys.____38____Out of 25 kids, including boys and girls, all will say they want to play football. Even my mom and sister love to play. This shows that football is a valuable part of recess and should not be banned.Football helps us learn important things.____39____Sometimes during the game both teams argue because they think they should get the point. This gives kids a chance to work out their problems on their own and make a solution.Please allow football again at recess.____40____We will get more exercise, we will build community, and we will learn important skills. These are lessons we need, and as long as we are careful, we can be safe.

To create the protein, the company uses renewable energy to split water cells into hydrogen and oxygen. ____42____ This is fed to microbes(微生物), which in turn create an eatable food, according to science website Futurism. This process makes alternative protein 100 times more climate- friendly than other sources of protein, the company said.____43____What about wearing a pair of shoes made of carbon emissions? On Running, a Swiss sports shoe brand, is trying to make foam(泡沫) for its shoed from captured carbon. In November, it announced it was teaming up with US-based company LanzaTech to make ethanol(乙醇) out of waste CO2, which would otherwise be burned, releasing CO2. On Running hopes to produce its first pair of shoes made wholly from carbon sometime next yeat. ____44____Turning CO2 into perfumeWhat is the smell of a perfume made from CO2? New York-based startup Air Company is selling perfume made from CO2. Perfume has an alcohol base. When mixed with a bit of water and fragrance(芳香) oil, it becomes perfume. Ethanol is widely used in perfume production because it has a neutral smell. This means you only smell the oil. ____45____ And with the addition of water and fragrance oil, you get perfume made mainly from air.A．Running on foamB．Stepping on carbonC．This kind of fragrance oil is made from CO2 by Air Company.D．Then it mixes the hydrogen with CO2 and adds other nutrients.E．They are expected to not cost much more than a regular pair of shoes.F．To solve the problem, capturing and reusing CO2 is an option for tech companies.G．What Air Company is able to do is transform CO2 into a very pure form of ethanol.If being late were an Olympic sport, some people would win medals. Being late can send a stressful ripple (连锁反应) through an entire day. ____46____.____47____It’s very important to be on time. Being on time shows respect for the person you’re meeting with. Punctuality also can be a reflection of how well you are respecting your own time and your own well-being. You can always let time pass, but you can’t get it back once it’s already gone. Know that departure time doesn’t equal arrival time____48____. So pack your bag, find your good shoes and get your travel mug ready all before you need to leave. Another tip is to work backward from when you need to be somewhere to give yourself time. There’s a lot of steps that people just don’t consider. So if y ou need to buy a metrocard or print something, leave time for that stuff.Get comfortable with being earlyArriving somewhere early may make some people super-anxious, uneasy and extremely uncomfortable. ____49____. For example, you can try to tell yourself that you will in fact find something to do with your hands, or think of it as a moment to catch your breath and give yourself a second to get settled.Be honest about your latenessEveryone is late sometimes. ____50____.

Conservationists (自然环境保护者) said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades, warning that they were now sliding towards extinction.The koala, a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易危)”on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus$50 million to protect and recover koala habitats.Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status (地位) but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF-Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.”Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinct by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).”Australia’s koalas had been living on a “knife edge” even before the “Black Summer” bushfires of 2019-2020 because of land-clearing, drought, disease, car strikes and dog attacks, said Josey Sharrad, wildlife campaign manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon (象征),” Sharrad said, “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the influences of climate change.”4．What is the problem mentioned in Para 1?A．Koala populations have increased quickly.B．Koalas enjoy too much popularity in Australia.C．Koalas get crushed by other animals.D．Koalas are at risk of extinction.5．Why did environmentalists welcome the koala’s new status?A．This would stop koalas from extinction.B．They could blame the government’s failure.C．This could lead to stronger action to protect koalas.D．They may have time to recover koala habitats.6．How does the author prove his idea?A．By making a comparison.B．By analyzing figures.C．By doing a survey.D．By quoting environmentalists’ words. 7．What’s the purpose of this text?A．To call on people to protect Koala.B．To show the causes of Koalas’ disappearance.C．To show Koalas’ important statue.D．To present environmentalists’ words.What is a family? Why does it matter? What does it teach us that we can’t learn on our own? These questions seem especially relevant in the holiday season when it is often our tradition to gather as families and celebrate together.My mother was one of twelve children. As they grew up, married and had children of their own, most of them lived near enough to gather for holidays at my grandparents’ home in a small town in the mountain s of North Carolina.I don’t recall getting many gifts from them. I remember the sense of belonging, of being part of something that assured me I was loved and not alone. I delighted in the laughing, playing and fighting with my crazy cousins. I watched my granddad and uncles sit on the porch (门廊), rain or shine, smoking and joking, arguing about politics and trying to solve the problems of the world. I listened to grandmother, mother and aunts stir pots on the stove and talk about their lives, hopes, dreams and disappointments, and gossip about any sister who failed to show up. The food was always plentiful and delicious - country ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, biscuits and my grandmother’s banana pudding. But for me, the food was never the highlight. The highlight was simply being together. A family.However, they’re all gone now. My parents and grandparents, my aunts and uncles have left this world for the next. My cousins are scattered (分散) here and there. And yet the memories linger, along with the love that we shared. I treasure those memories and the things they taught me. They told me that families aren’t perfect, but they prepare us to find our way in an imperfect world. They made me realize that all families are crazy in their own peculiar (独特的) ways.My husband and I are growing a new family while keeping close to the surviving members of the families. It’s a beautiful blend (混合) of kindness, traditions, nurturing (养育) and friendships, which grows year after year.I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean “family” to you now.8．What can we know from the passage?A．The author received many gifts from her relatives.B．The author thought the food was the best part of the holiday.C．The author’s large family usually gathered at her grandparents’ home for holidays.D．The author’s cousins didn’t like to get together.9．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ______.A．describe her crazy and imperfect familyB．show how she misses her dead relativesC．explain the importance of family in her lifeD．introduce some family traditions to readers10．What does the underlined word “linger” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Disappear slowly.B．Stay for a long time.C．Make a lot of noise.D．Cause a lot of trouble.11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The author will start a new family tradition.B．The author will move to a new place.C．The author will try to keep in touch with her relatives.D．The author doesn’t like her new family.In some places, people collect honey from wild bees. This is common in many parts of theworld, especially South Asia. Honey hunting is a local tradition in southern India but it is not an undemanding job. The bees in southern India can grow up to the size of the smallest adult human finger. And these giant honeybees build their hives (蜂窝) on the sides of mountains!It takes many years for a honey hunter to learn to collect honey from these hives. From a young age the honey hunter learns everything about bees. He practices climbing hundreds of meters above the ground. Before the honey season, the honey hunter prepares for many days.When the day of the honey hunt season arrives, the honey hunter goes to the edge of the mountain early in the morning. He climbs down with a rope and lights some dry branches on fire. The smoke makes the bees leave the hive. With the bees flying around the honey hunter, he uses a long sharp stick to gently get pieces of the wax (蜜蜡) filled with honey. He then takes them back to the village in a box made of bamboo.Usually the hunter takes some honey and leaves some of the hive on the mountainside. He does not take the part of the hive with the baby bees in it since he does not want to destroy the home of the bees. When the honey hunter returns, the village celebrates!“They have been hunting honey in this way for more than 2,000 years. Honey was and still is an important part of their diet, cooking and medicine,” Simone Gie from the organization Slow Food International, said.12．According to the passage, honey hunting ________.A．has a short history B．needs careful preparationC．makes some villages rich D．is often done by a young man13．Which of the following is NOT needed during honey hunting?A．Bamboo.

Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.There are many benefits (好处) of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient (有效率) after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more alert (灵活). It may even cheer you up.But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of the day, about eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. Next, a 20-minute nap is best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a deep sleep, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You won’t have to keep looking at the clock so that you don’t oversleep.Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have forty winks.36. What is a good rule for taking a nap?A. Use an alarm clock.B. Nap eight hours after waking up.C. Sleep for about half an hour.D. All of the above37. According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of napping?A. It makes you strongerB. It makes you feel happierC. It gives you more self-confidenceD. It improves your memory38. Which may happen if an alarm clock is not used?A. You may relax more.B. You may feel too nervous to relax.C. You may forget an important meeting.D. You may not reduce your napping time.39. In the last paragraph, “have forty winks” can be replaced by “________”.A. do eye-protection exercisesB. close your eyes for forty timesC. have a short sleep during the daytimeD. pretend to have a quick nap after lunch(B)Do you think animals can predict (预报) the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years, they have observed animals. They think animals’ behavior (行为) can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane is coming. Or, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence (证据). Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation (调查) of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake. He noticed some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的；侵略的) behavior in dogs, such as biting and barking loudly, jumped (猛增) 60 percent!People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. The animal behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A. What animals do during earthquakesB. Many earthquakes of JapanC. Effect (影响) of natural events on animals’ actionsD. Folklore and other stories about animals41. How do dogs begin to behave just before an earthquake?A. They lie down in grass.B. They stay together in large groups.C. They leave their homes.D. They hurt people.42. What other animals behave strangely before an earthquake?A. PigsB. BirdsC. CowsD. All of the above43. What did Kiyoshi Shimamura look at during his investigation?A. Animal clinics treating dogsB. The number of patients with bitesC. The number of earthquakes a yearD. Places dogs go during earthquakes(C)My first performance (表演) in front of an audience was coming up soon.I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practised this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地).My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished.I had mastered the impossible.44. The author was nervous before the performance because _______.A. her mother and father weren’t presentB. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stageC. she hadn’t mastered the entire pieceD. she had never performed in public before45. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. put into disorderB. forget aboutC. stop halfwayD. do well in46. The author _________.A. didn’t make any mistake in the performanceB. felt better at the beginning of the performanceC. paid all attention to nothing but her performanceD. lost her concentration (注意力) sometimes during the performance47. What did the author feel about her performance?A. She thought it was comfortable and successful.B. She thought it was very difficult but successful.C. She thought she had never made a mistake during the performance.D. She thought she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.(D)For Chinese, it’s time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But in South Korea, wrestling and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name — the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th of the lunar calendar.One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has beenreported that South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情况). “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage before China,”said Zhou Heping, deputy cultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.“I don’t like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea’s move,” said Jin Yutong, a Senior One student. “We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先).”It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340－278BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country’s future. When people heard about Qu’s death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet’s body.Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival belongs. “Everyone can say that it came from China,” said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit.”48. Which of the following country is NOT mentioned about the Dragon Boat Festivalspreading?A. JapanB. VietnamC. South KoreaD. the United States49. From the passage, we can see Chinese people’s attitude (态度) toward the Dragon BoatFestival is that ______________.A. they do not like itB. they want to protect it because it is their cultural heritageC. it is a shame to protect itD. they won’t agree South Korea takes it as its own festival50. Racing boats to celebrate the festival comes from the story that ___________.A. people searched for Qu Y uan’s body by boatB. people searched for Qu Yuan’s boatC. Qu Yuan enjoyed boatingD. Qu Yuan liked building boats51. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs?A. The festival is celebrated in the same way all over the world.B. It matters a lot whose cultural heritage the festival is.C. It is good for the Chinese people to protect the cultural heritage.D. South Korea does not recognize that the festival is from China.(E)One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. William called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision.” Mr. William announced. “You see, your mother has bee n offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded (下结论) that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving: “It’s surprising, but exciting!”she said. Peter simply said, “We can’t go —I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”Mr. and Mrs. William hoped that by the time they moved in August, Peter would grow more accustomed (习惯) to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings (物品).When the morning of the move arrived, Peter was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy’s house, but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter. Mrs. William became increasingly worried, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly (不负责任).What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic (阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection.52. The conflict (分歧) in this story was caused by ________.A. Peter and Amy’s different tempers (脾气)B. a quarrel (争吵) between Tommy and PeterC. Peter’s disagreement with his parents about their moveD. Mr. and Mrs. William’s words of Peter’s irresponsibility53. Peter and Amy were both _________ after hearing the move.A. surprisedB. angry and worriedC. anxious for more detailsD. worried about packing54. The reason for Peter’s going home was that _______.A. he did not want to be left behindB. he realized his family was essential (重要的) with himC. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parentsD. He wished to be a more responsible person55. What would more probably happen next?A. Peter would bring his records over to the Tommy’s house.B. Mr. and Mrs. William would call the police.C. Peter would join his family for house moving.D. Mr. and Mrs. William would start searching for Peter.IV. 词汇运用（共10题，每题0.5分，共5分）根据句意或首字母提示，在下列各句横线上填上所缺的单词。

For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person’s body becomes dependenton the substance. A try to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal（脱瘾过程）.American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes（替代物）. Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person’s blood. This helps satisfy some people’s desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with heart problems.Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.Bad effects of smokingMany kinds of disease and a number of other medical (91) ▲ are connected with smoking.Difficulty in stopping smokingThe (92) ▲ for this is that smokers are (93) ▲ on nicotine, a poisonous substance in tobacco, and people (94) ▲ to stop smoking have emotional problems and are unable to think sharply.(95) ▲ to stop smokingLooking for substitutes for smokingSnuffCausing gum disease, teeth problems and throat problemsthat (96) ▲cancer.

Well, that’s normal. Your body naturally slows down then. What should you do about it? Don’t reach for a coffee! Instead, take a nap.There are many benefits (好处) of a daily nap. First of all, you are more efficient (有效率) after napping. You remember things better and make fewer mistakes. Also, you can learn things more easily after taking a nap. A 20-minute nap can reduce information overload. It can also reduce stress. Finally, a nap may increase your self-confidence and make you more alert (灵活). It may even cheer you up.But, there are some simple rules you should follow about taking a nap. First, take a nap in the middle of the day, about eight hours after you wake up. Otherwise, you may disturb your sleep-wake pattern. Next, a 20-minute nap is best. If you sleep longer, you may fall into a deep sleep. After waking from a deep sleep, you will feel worse. Also, you should set an alarm clock. That way, you can fully relax during your nap. You won’t have to keep looking at the c lock so that you don’t oversleep.Now, the next time you feel sleepy after lunch, don’t get stressed. Put your head down, close your eyes, and have forty winks.36. What is a good rule for taking a nap?A. Use an alarm clock.B. Nap eight hours after waking up.C. Sleep for about half an hour.D. All of the above37. According to the passage, what is NOT a benefit of napping?A. It makes you strongerB. It makes you feel happierC. It gives you more self-confidenceD. It improves your memory38. Which may happen if an alarm clock is not used?A. You may relax more.B. You may feel too nervous to relax.C. You may forget an important meeting.D. You may not reduce your napping time.39. In the last paragraph, “have forty winks” can be replaced by “________”.A. do eye-protection exercisesB. close your eyes for forty timesC. have a short sleep during the daytimeD. pretend to have a quick nap after lunch(B)Do you think animals can predict (预报) the weather or other natural events? Farmers living in the countryside think so. For hundreds of years, they have observed animals. They think animals’ behavior (行为) can be connected to future weather conditions or events. For example, if swans fly into the wind, a hurricane is coming. Or, if cows lie down, a rainstorm is coming. There are many traditional stories connecting animals and natural events. Many people think that these stories are just folklore, traditional stories and beliefs without scientific evidence (证据). Scientists, however, are beginning to take another look at some of these ideas.Kiyoshi Shimamura is a Japanese earthquake researcher. He noticed an increase in dog bites a short time before earthquakes hit. Then, he did an investigation (调查) of twelve public health centers in Kobe, Japan. These health centers treated people after the 1995 earthquake. He noticed some interesting information about the month before the big earthquake. Treatment for animal bites had increased. In fact, aggressive (冒犯的；侵略的) behavior in dogs, such as biting andbarking loudly, jumped (猛增) 60 percent!People noticed other changes in animal behavior before the earthquake as well. For example, fish began swimming together in large groups, only in the middle of the water and not near the edges. Also, birds flew away from their nests for many days, leaving their eggs unprotected. The animal behavior suggests that animals may be able to predict natural events better than people.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A. What animals do during earthquakesB. Many earthquakes of JapanC. Effect (影响) of natural events on animals’ actionsD. Folklore and other stories about animals41. How do dogs begin to behave just before an earthquake?A. They lie down in grass.B. They stay together in large groups.C. They leave their homes.D. They hurt people.42. What other animals behave strangely before an earthquake?A. PigsB. BirdsC. CowsD. All of the above43. What did Kiyoshi Shimamura look at during his investigation?A. Animal clinics treating dogsB. The number of patients with bitesC. The number of earthquakes a yearD. Places dogs go during earthquakes(C)My first performance (表演) in front of an audience was coming up soon.I tried as hard as I could to remain calm, but my heart was racing. I stared down at my sweat-covered, shaking hands.I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were real people. They were not just my mum and dad, who would say, “Good job!” even if I messed up the entire piece.What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes?As it turned out, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight (聚光灯) was waiting for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.Slowly I walked to the mud-brown piano in the center of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played. I swallowed the golf-ball-sized lump (隆起部分) in my throat and sat down. Slowly, I opened the music. Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory (象牙色的) keys.As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more unsure of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my years of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practised this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if requested.Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically (自动地).My eyes burned holes into (were fixed on) the pages in front of me.There was no way that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music.When I came to the end of the page, a warning went off inside my head: DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!Needless to say, I obeyed myself with all my heart and mind. And, proud of my “page-turning” feat (技艺), I finished the rest of the piece without making a single mistake.After the final note died away, a celebration went into action inside my head. I had finished. I had mastered the impossible.44. The author was nervous before the performance because _______.A. her mother and father weren’t presentB. the strong spotlight was shining onto the stageC. she hadn’t mastered the entire pieceD. she had never performed in public before45. The underlined phrase “mess up” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A. put into disorderB. forget aboutC. stop halfwayD. do well in46. The author _________.A. didn’t make any mistake in the performanceB. felt better at the beginning of the performanceC. paid all attention to nothing but her performanceD. lost her concentration (注意力) sometimes during the performance47. What did the author feel about her performance?A. She thought it was comfortable and successful.B. She thought it was very difficult but successful.C. She thought she had never made a mistake during the performance.D. She thought she played through the piece carefully but light-heartedly.(D)For Chinese, it’s time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi. But in South Korea, wrestling and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name —the Dragon Boat Festival. It falls on May 5th of the lunar calendar.One festival, two cultures. Does one nation have the right to call it its own? It has been reported that South Korea will ask the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration its cultural heritage (文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Boat Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation (情况). “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage before China,” said Zhou Heping, deputy c ultural minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application (申请) to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.“I don’t like some of the food eaten at the festival, but I am shocked by South Korea’s move,” said Jin Yutong, a Senior One student. “We should protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors (祖先).”It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340－278BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country’s future. When people heard about Qu’s death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to fright away fish and threw Zongzi into water. These were supposed to stop the fish from touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to have come from the search for the poet’s body.Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed together with, and become part of the local culture.With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue (争论) about which country the festival belongs. “Everyone can say that it came from China,” said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if the whole nation can protect the culture heritage together, they will all benefit.”48. Which of the following country is NOT mentioned about the Dragon Boat Festival spreading?A. JapanB. VietnamC. South KoreaD. the United States49. From the passage, we can see Chinese people’s attitude (态度) toward the Dragon BoatFestival is that ______________.A. they do not like itB. they want to protect it because it is their cultural heritageC. it is a shame to protect itD. they won’t agree South Korea takes it as its own festival50. Racing boats to celebrate the festival comes from the story that ___________.A. pe ople searched for Qu Yuan’s body by boatB. people searched for Qu Y uan’s boatC. Qu Yuan enjoyed boatingD. Qu Yuan liked building boats51. What can we infer (推断) from the last two paragraphs?A. The festival is celebrated in the same way all over the world.B. It matters a lot whose cultural heritage the festival is.C. It is good for the Chinese people to protect the cultural heritage.D. South Korea does not recognize that the festival is from China.(E)On e evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. William called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision.” Mr. William announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago. Unluckily, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded (下结论) that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving: “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Peter simply said, “We can’t go —I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”Mr. and Mrs. William hoped that by the time they moved in August, Peter would grow more accustomed (习惯) to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings (物品).When the morning of the move arrived, Peter was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy’s house, but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter. Mrs. William became increasingly worried, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly (不负责任).What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic (阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection.52. The conflict (分歧) in this story was caused by ________.A. Peter and Amy’s different tempers (脾气)B. a quarrel (争吵) between Tommy and PeterC. Peter’s disagreement with his parents about their moveD. Mr. and Mrs. William’s words of Peter’s irresponsibility53.
