Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. Thenever-received gift was the most valuable in her eyes.Her mother’s story being recalled (回忆), Amy got an idea.It was Joyce’s 60th birthday. A package was sent to her, with a card that read:Dear Joyce,I forget to send you the package (包裹) that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it.Love, Angel of JoyJoyce opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll.

As a little girl, she was a dull student, unable to catch and remember what her teacher taught her. At the age of 10, she suddenly changed. Besides her rising interest in her subjects, she felt she had a long way to go.Maria began topping her class, and her parents felt that she should become a teacher. But she made up her mind to become an engineer. At the age of 14, she attended a technical school for boys. After a year shetook up biology and decided to study medicine. Although her father was strongly against it, she went ahead with medicine.Maria became the first Italian woman to receive a medical degree after she graduated from the University of Rome in 1896. After getting her degree, she joined the university’s psychiatric clinic(精神病诊所). As a part of her duty, she had to visit the city’s special shelters, where disabled children were housed with the mad. She watched the children shouting, waving their hands, with a hope to reach out or to touch something. Maria felt they needed a normal and friendlier environment and a communication with the world. She worked out ways in which she could help the disabled children. Later, Dr. Bacelli opened an experimental state school for disabled children with Dr. Maria Montessori as its head. Maria spent long hours, almost 12 hours of the day with children, watching them and finding out how she could really help them. After two years of hard work, her students took the normal state school examinations. And, it turned out that her children were not hopeless cases. In fact, many did almost as well as other normalchildren.59. Which of the following is NOT talked about in thefirst paragraph?A. Why Maria suddenly changed.B. HowMaria changed.C.

Maria finally followed her parents’ advice andbecame a teacherB. only if you never change your mind will yourdream come trueC. Maria’s parents were angry with her for nottaking their adviceD. Maria Montessori was one of the greatest educators of her timeDIt seems that no one can live a happy life without friendship. While a great number of people expect others to be their friends, they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out thatyou haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.63. Some friendships don’t last long because ________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersC. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship backD. they don’t know friendship is something important64. According to the passage, honesty is ________.A. something impossibleB. more important than anything elseC. as important as moneyD. the base of friendship65. Which of the following isn’t talked about in the passage?A. You should tell your friends the truth.B. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.C. Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.D. Sharing your mind with your friends is valuable.66. In the third paragraph, the underlined word “they” means ________.A. generosity and friendshipB. your ideas and feelingsC. generosity and sharingD. your clothes67. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB. A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeedC. Three Important Points in LifeD. How to Be FriendsEPersonalized(个性化的) gifts for your family and your friends make them feel very happy and important. So what makes these gifts different from any other gifts?One of the simplest ways to personalize any gift is by giving it a personal touch like cutti ng the receiver’s name on it. The art of personalizing may cost a little extra money but by doing it, it is sure to make the receiver know that this gift has been given much thought, thus making it more special. There are many of these types on the market – let us have a look at where this service is offered.All gift shops provide personalized gifts. These gifts are usually designed according to occasions(场合) like Valentine’s Day, weddings, birthdays, etc. These events are made more special through the giving of personalized gifts.Besides, gift websites also offer personalized gifts service through the Internet. This is a really perfect way of choosing a favorite gift. One can look through many gifts on different sites and choose a proper one. All of these can be done even without leaving the comfort of your home. It is also a good way to choose a gift as it helps you to save money. You can compare prices from different online stores, and then of course how can you forget about discounts (折扣) and sales? Another extra good point is that you don’t have to worry about shipping, for most of these sites already offer this service. However, you need to be very careful in choosing the right online store for buying these gifts. This is because of the fact that the Internet has been marred (破坏) by many cheats and not all of these sites have reliable services and quality.The fact about personalized gifts is that they aresuitable for all occasions. These gifts show off your creativity and your loved ones will forever remember the way you go all out to make their occasions special. 68.When you choose personalized gifts on the Internet, you can have the following benefits EXCEPT that _______.A. you don’t need to save moneyB. there are many gifts for you to choose fromC. most online stores offer the service of shippingD. you can choose your favorite gift at home69. The writer most probably agrees that _______.A. the simplest way to personalize a gift is to engrave the giver’s name on itB. it is easier to get personalized gifts in gift shops than on the InternetC. personalized gifts show the creativity and care of the giverD. all personalized gifts are designed for Valentine’s Day, weddings and birthdays70.Which of the following best shows the structure of the whole text?

高中英语真题：2015届高三上学期期中考试试卷试题.doc一、阅读理解(共5题)1.When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him.Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said th ere weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his ideaaccepted.Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide range s.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child.21. When Paul was a boy, _______.A. he had decided never to leave his hometownB. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterC. he hit a young visitor because of his comments on the wastelandD. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area22. Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because _______.A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himselfB. he was interested in planting trees since he was youngC. he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help himD. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing23. W hat does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably mean?A. It was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.B. His normal work and life would be greatly affected.C. No one would like to join him in the efforts.D. He had to keep everything he did secret.24. The company hired Paul to plant trees and grass because_______.A. they realized the importance of environmental protectionB. what Paul was doing moved themC. Paul persuaded them to help himD. they had legal pressure2.Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum (课程).The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test，it is not the fault of drama and music classes—they are failing because the “academic” classes are not sufficient (充足的).It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete,well-rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art—there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge—certainly not a good preparation for the real world.25. Music and drama are not included in the high school curriculum mainly because ________.A. the school committee pays no attention to themB. the school is afraid of losing financial supportC. the students are not interested in both of themD. the state standardized test is more important26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test.B. Quite a few students are discouraged from learning music and art in today’s school system.C. Students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.D. The school committee completely influences students’attitude towards the arts.27. We can learn that music and art can ________.A. motivate students in creativity and expressionB. make students round-shaped people in futureC. provide students with analytical thinkingD. prevent students graduation from high school28. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Who killed music and drama?B. Can curriculum go without music?C. Why is music so important?D. How to prepare for the real world?3. For more than 40 years, scientists have sought to learn how wellhuman beings can adapt to long periods in space. The International Space Station continues to provide valuable knowledge about spaceflight. But an earlier space station, Skylab, helped make the current space project possible.Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sang aboard the International Space Station on May 12, 2013. His music video has become extremely popular. The astronaut played his own version of David Bowie’s so ng Space Oddity. He performed while floating weightlessly, with images of planet earth and space appearing in the window behind him.Chris Hadfield recently returned home after nearly five months on the space station. For him, the long flight produced a hit video on YouTube and no major physical problems. But 40 years ago, scientists did not know how humans would react to long-term spaceflight. To find out, NASA, the American space agency, launched Skylab in May, 1973. Over nearly a year, three teams of astronauts visited Skylab for stays of between 28 to 84 days. They learned how people react to extended periods in space.Gerald Carr commanded Skylab 4. He spoke at a NASA event marking the 40th anniversary of Skylab’s launch. He s aid that the loss of the body’s muscle mass was a main concern. Astronauts on Skylab used exercise equipment to stay strong. The astronauts spent their workdays carrying out experiments, including biomedical (生物医学的) research.Marshall Porterfie ld is the director of NASA’s Space Life and Physical Sciences Division. He says the Skylab astronauts’ understanding of their own ability to deal with long-term spaceflight continues to help current astronauts. NASA says the next step for life away from Earth is a year-longspace station mission, set for 2015.29. Why was Chris Hadfield’s song so special?A. It was performed in space.B. It was created by an astronaut.C. It was a very familiar song.D. It was first sung by a famous singer.30. Which of the following best describes the physical condition of Chris Hadfield after his return?A. Worse.B. Better.C. Normal.D. Weaker.31. For what purpose did NASA launch Skylab?A. To research on whether human beings could stay in space.B. To gather up information on setting up a space station.C. To study the changes in the body when staying long in space.D. To find out the possibility of doing experiments in space.32. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Skylab is still in use to explore the space.B. The research results on Skylab are still valuable.C. Skylab is more advanced than the International Space Station.D. The Skylab astronauts made great contributions to biomedical research.4.Suppose you are thinking about attending college in the United States, but perhaps you might not be ready for a university with a four-year program. About 88,000 international students have found solution. They are attending U.S. community colleges. Such colleges are sometimes called junior colleges. They offer two years of education above the secondary or high school level.Community college students can choose from subjects like medical assistance, computer science or law. At the end of their study program, they receive a document of completion, called a certificate. Some students work toward an associate degree in traditional academic subjects like science or history. After getting it, the students can move on to a four-year college or university. They may have only two years of study left before they receive abachelor’s degree.Many educational experts agree that saving money is the major reason to consider a community college. The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) says that a public two-year college costs 3,000 dollar a year on average. That is true if the student lives in the same state as the school. A student at a four-year public college may pay 8,500 dollars a year for classes and user fees. That does not include books and other materials.Some international students may need more preparation in English before entering a community college in the United States. For example, Istrif Montgomery came to the U.S. from Kosovo in 2006. First, he worked to improve his English at Montgomery College for a year. Then for the next two years, he attended classes in basic subjects in a community college.The international students at two-year colleges need to find a place to live. Most community colleges do not provide student housing on their grounds. But Mr Montgomery had a home nearby. He was able to ride the bicycle, and he was able to walk if he wanted. In fact, most community college students live within five to ten miles off the college.33. What’s the biggest advantage of a community college?A. The classes are free of charge.B. The students can save much time.C. The students can save a lot of money.D. It is convenient for students to live in the college.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr Montgomery usually goes to school on foot.B. Most students in community colleges don’t live far away.C. 8,500 dollars covers all the cost of a four-year public college.D. International students often attend a community college directly.35. What’s the main purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study abroad.B. To tell the international students how to save money.C. To tell us it’s a good choice to study in public colleges.D. To give some information about community colleges.5.36 The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its army, to build public facilities and to buy goods from abroad, and only the people of the country can supply the money.37 That is, a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else, he must pay tax if his income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, tobacco, wine, etc. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. 38People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. 39 And we cannot have an army without paying for it.40 We have no real cause to complain when we are asked to pay taxes for the good of ourselves and for our fellow citizens.A. Why must we pay taxes?C. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.D. Taxes, however, should be cancelled.E. One of the most important taxes is income tax.F. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.G. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies.二、完型填空(共1题)1.Starbucks is the biggest coffee shop network in the world with more than 15,000 shops in 44 countries.

AShe may have lacked a home, but now this teen has top honors.A 17-year-old student who spent much of high school living around homeless shelters — and sometimes sleeping in her car —today graduated and spoke on behalf of her class at Charles Drew High School in Clayton County, Ga., just outside of Atlanta.Chelsea Fearce held a 4.466 GPA and scored 1900 on her SATs despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homele ss. My family slept on cushions on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore,” she told WSBTV.Fearce, one of five children, grow up in a family that sometimes had an apartment to live in, but at othe r times had to live in homeless shelters or even out of their car, if they had one. “You‟re worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry about being a little hungry sometimes and go hungry sometimes. You just have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can.”To our surprise, Fearce overcame the difficulties and even tested high enough to be admitted into college half way through her high school career. She starts college next year at SpelmanCollege as a junior where she is planning to study biology, pre-med (医学预科). “Don‟t give up. Do what you have to do right now so that you can have the future that you want,” Fearce said.21. How did Fearce go on with her study without access to lights?A. By the car light.B. By her cellphone.C. By lights out of shelters.D. By moonlight.22. When Fearce starts college at Spelman College, she will _____..A. have graduated earlier from high school than normalB. be a 17-year-old student from a poor familyC. have a home without sleeping in her car or sheltersD. have raised enough money to go to college23. What lesson can we learn from Fearce‟s experience?A. Knowledge can change your fate.B. Don‟t give up, and tomorrow will be better.C. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.D. He that will not work shall not eat.BCan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king Michael Jackson? Perhaps yes. Scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.The gene es in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of Europeans. The other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of Africans, researchers at Pennsylvania State University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). The number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays(紫外线) of the sun, which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin colour, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatments for skin cancer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skin colour without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Michael Jackson.24. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People can‟t change their skin colour without any pain.B. The new discovery helped find ways to change skin colour safely.C. Pop king Michael Jackson often changed his skin colour as he liked.D. Scientists have found out that people‟s skin colour is determined by th e gene.25. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. nowadays changing the skin colour with the chemical treatment has bad effectB. Europeans and Africans have the same genesC. the new discovery could help to find medical treatments for skin cancerD. there are two kinds of skin genes26. Scientists have done an experiment on a dark-striped zebra fish in order to ________.A. find the different genes of humansB. prove the humans‟ skin colour is determined by the pigment geneC. find out the reason why the Africans‟ skin colour is darkD. find out the ways of changing people‟s skin colour27. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Michael Jackson died of skin damage caused by chemical treatment.B. American blacks produce more vitamin D with their skin than others.C. The gene determining skin colour exists widely in whites, blacks and Asians.D. The melanosomes in the skin of blacks usually cause skin cancer more often.CDrinking alcohol is a socially acceptable behavior in many parts of the world. Some medical experts say light drinking may even be good for your health, especially for the heart. But they say such health benefits should be pared to the many health risks connected with alcohol use.Some research suggests that having one to two drinks of alcohol a day may offer some health benefits. Several large studies have shown that this type of moderate(适量的) drinking may lower the risk of heart disease and other diseases.A study last year suggested that drinking small amounts of red wine may help lower the risk of breast cancer in women. Researchers at Medical Center in California studied 36 women. Each woman drank a glass of red or white wine every day for almost a month. Researchers collected blood samples from the women two times a month to measure their hormone(激素) levels. The next month the women who drank red wine were told to drink white wine instead. The white wine drinkers were told to drink red wine. The researchers found that the women who drank red wine had lower levels of the female hormone than the white wine drinkers. They said red grapes have chemicals that may help to lower the risk of breast cancer.However, recent studies suggested that even small amounts of alcohol may generally increase the risk of breast cancer in women. They found that women who drink four small glasses of wine a week increase their risk of breast cancer by 15 percent.Many studies have examined the harmful effects of alcohol use on the body. Alicia Ann Kowalchuk serves as medical director, sayin g “Healthy use for adults --- that's men under age 65 --- is no more than 4 drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks in a week. And for women of all ages, it's no more than 7 drinks in a week and no more than 2 drinks in a day.” She says too much alcohol use has been linked to liver diseases, and many other cancers.28. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By following an example.B. By listing facts.C. By collecting information worldwide.D. By paring tested objects.29. Which of the following is the most beneficial to women with breast cancer?A. A glass of white wine per day.B. A glass of red wine per day.C. Small amounts of alcohol per day.D. Four small glasses of wine per day.30. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?31. What is the best title of this passage?A. Drinking alcohol is popular in many parts of the worldB. Alcohol drinking can be both good and bad for youC. Drinking alcohol a day may give your health some benefits.D.
