He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （纸板盒） . Then he related an incident and I began to remembervaguely(模糊地 ) the incident he was describing.GXRw1kFW5sI was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weeklygrocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where theincident took place. UTREx49Xj9There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked(堆放 ) three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went towork. 8PQN3NDYyPThe manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, Iwas on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it lookedas though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested myinnocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident,mLPVzx7ZNwapparently the manager did not.56. How old was the author when he wrote this article? AHP35hB02dA. About 8B. About 18.C. About 23.D.

Our children speak Hebrew, Arabic. I can speak abit of Hebrew and a little Arabic. The gap between us, therefore, is not a matter of age, sports heroes, ormusical tastes. It is simply my lack of ability to master languages that they picked up in no time. To our kids,3YIxKpScDMI will forever be the foreigner, the greenhorn.I remember one of my most amusing mistakes that I made one bright and early school-day morning. Aschool friend had slept over, and everyone was eating breakfast, I cheerfully asked the boy what I could givegUHFg9mdSshim for his lunch.“ What about some fruit? ” I asked. uQHOMTQe79 ”“ How about some rocks with your lunch?“ Mommy!” The kids all shouted in horror. “ Mommmmmmy!IMGWiDkflPI had wanted to say “ anavim ” , which are grapes(葡萄) in Hebrew. Instead I said “ avanim-----plain,”ordinary rocks. WHF4OmOgAwTo this day, my children remind me again and again of the countless mistakes I made. At a schoolmeeting, I told the father of one of their friends that I ’ d sat on top of his wife the day before, when I m say that I ’ d sat next to her. Languages always provide opportunities for foreign speakers to please natives.aDFdk6hhPdI find my language mistakes entertaining at times, and they ’ ve never stopped me from trying to mak conversation. On a family outing the other day, we stopped to buy fresh pita from an Arab woman. I spoke tothe woman in a mixture of Arabic and Hebrew and then we stood with her, eating the warm freshly bakedozElQQLi4Tpita. After we finished, I called out, -“thankShookranyou,”” in Arabic---and we drove away.“ That was fun. ” said my-year16-old son， Ari.“ And she gave me extra pita for free! -year”-myold14daughter, Amalia, said. “ Why do you think shedid that? CvDtmAfjiA”said. ” I“ Because we were friendly and made an effort to talk to her,QrDCRkJkxhFor once, my kids did not even point out any of the errors I had made as I spoke to the woman.4nCKn3dlMX59. The kids shouted when their mother used the word “ avanim ” because ______.ijCSTNGm0EA. they always regarded their mother as a foreigner vfB1pxanfkB. she misused the word for a kind of fruit as the one for rocksJbA9VhEou1C. their mother only gave grapes to one childD. one of the kids got up late60. Why didn ’ t the kids point out their mother ’ s mistakesshespokewhilewith an Arab woman? X7Ahr18pJIb3zqXLCqXoA. Their mother ’ s conversation with the Arab woman brought a good result.B. They used to their mother ’ s language errors.C. They were moved by the Arab woman.D. They were pleased with the delicious meal.61.What would be the best title of this passage?A.How to Learn Foreign LanguagesB.How to Live AbroadC.Sometimes It ’s just WordsD.My Boring ChildrenCMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explainthat there ’ s a big difference between “ being a writer ” and “ writing ” . In most cases these indivi dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “ You ’ ve got to want to write, them, “ not want to be a writer pZyytu5rc5. ”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortunethere are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US CoastGuard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my roomin a New York apartment building. It didn ’ event matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.DVyGZezsrMAfter a year or so, however, I still hadn ’ t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to s a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. Iwasn’ t going tobe one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to thetest--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.RQxPvY3tFs62.The passage is meant to _______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience5MxX1IxuU9B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer jIw5xs0v9P63.What can be concluded from the passage?Ａ.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

(1)导学号 11094317 It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests. In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing. Here are some tips.__1. C__Your memory recall will be much better if you've had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.Read the test through first.Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions. __2. E__Focus on addressing each question individually.As you take the test, if you don't know an answer, don't worry about it. __3. A__Come back to it after you've answered other questions.Relax.__4. F__Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动)your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places.Finished already?Although most teachers will let you hand in the test paper early, it's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. __5. G__On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you're still writing, wind up whatever you're working on without panicking.A．Instead, skip over the question.B．Listen closely to any instructions.C．Get enough sleep the night before the test.D．But some can get serious test-taking terror.E．If something seems unclear before you start, don't panic, but ask.F．If you're so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break.G．You also can add details that you may not have thought you'd have time for.语篇解读：学生在考试时感到有些紧张是很正常的事情。

When gas burned it created soot (煤烟)—making everything dirty. The fixtures alone had to be cleaned almost every day. During the summer it made the air even hotter and more uncomfortable. It could also easily cause fires. Its major disadvantage was that it could not serve as a source of power. The appliances we take for granted today —fans, refrigerators, electric irons and computers —could not be powered by gas.For decades, inventors and businessmen had been trying to invent a better way —a light source powered by electricity. They had already worked out the basic outline. In 1878 Edison decided to throw most of his attention into perfecting the light bulb. The first material used for the filament broke too easily. Edison switched to a better material called platinum. In 1879 he discovered a better way, and it proved to be a breakthrough. Edison did experiments with the carbon filament because he thought it would be more abundant, and platinum was expensive. Heproduced a piece of carbon to use as the filament. It burned for 13.5 hours — a huge breakthrough. By changing the shape of the filament to a horseshoe it burned for over 100 hours. Edison and his colleagues had invented a practical light bulb and by doing so they opened up the way for the establishment of the electrical power system.36. Before the invention of the light bulb, the best source of lighting was .A. waterB. coalC. gasD. oil37. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Different uses of gas.B. Disadvantages of lighting.C. Advantages of gas.D. Old ways of lighting.38. We may infer from the second paragraph that .A. only Edison himself was trying to invent a better kind of lightingB. Edison and other inventors and businessmen invented the light bulb togetherC. Edison wasn’t the first one who wanted to invent a better kind of lightingD. Edison was not only an inventor but also a businessman39. Edison chose carbon filaments for his experiments because .A. platinum wasn’t a good material for the filamentB. there was more carbon than platinumC. carbon was more expensive than platinumD. platinum filaments broke more easily than carbon ones40. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?A. The horseshoeB. GasC. Electricity.D. The filament.四、阅读表达You will probably try harder to get more sleep once you see how much better you feel with even 30 minutes more sleep.Getting more sleep is sometimes merely a matter of scheduling. In the next couple of weeks, try to get rid of one or two things from your morning and evening routine. If morning is your downfall, shift some of your morning routines to the night before or put something off until your break at lunch. If late afternoon and night are your downfall, do the same.You don’t really need to watch the news. It’s depressing. If something important happens today, you will find out tomorrow at work. At least skip the weather. Right after dinner, go to a major search engine, and type in “national weather” and the name of your town. You will see a two-line weather report from the National Weather Service. This will save you several minutes of watching the weather on television.If reading helps you, take a boring book or magazine to bed with you. Paperbacks are not as heavy and are easier to read in bed.If you , maybe you can take turns with a neck and shoulder massage at night instead of television.Make sure you are ready for sleep when you go to bed. Electronic items such as televisions, computers, and video games wake us up. Avoid them for at least an hour before you plan to go to bed.41. What is the best title for the passage? (Please answer with 10 words.)42. Please fill in the blank in the fifth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete thesentence.(Please answer with 10 words.)43. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?Often, sleeping more depends on how you manage your time.44. Translate the underlined sentence in the first paragraph into Chinese.45. As a senior student, how can you make sure you get enough sleep?

What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?A. 12 people were lost until now.B. 25 people were rescued instantly.C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.38. The passage has been written to .A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilotC. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation HistoryD. call on people to protect themselvesBMassachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americansdressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.B. Learn how to grow cranberries.C. Taste various cranberry products.D. Visit an old history museum.41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .A. protect Native Americans, the WampanoagB. attract more tourists to stay in PlymouthC. show how the Wampanoag helped the PilgrimsD. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive42. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Interesting Journey to PlymouthB. The Life of the PilgrimsC. A Journey to Plymouth's PastD. Life in the 17th CenturyCThe general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribalorganizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.43. Why did the government want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.D. It thought all the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.44. Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that .A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native AmericansB. Native Americans were used to living on separate farmsC. the government did not quite understand Native American waysD. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized45. On the whole, the article tells us about .A. the good land that was given to Native AmericansB. the government's effort to help that didn't work outC. helping Native Americans on their reservationsD. breaking away from old customs of Native Americans46. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. The government wanted to break up family farms.B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.C. New customs are always better than old ones.D. Old customs usually influence modern life.DSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there'll be more problems with learningD. there'll be no problems with learning49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）A Brief History of SlaveryIt is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.五、作文（共1小题；共25分）56. 假设你是某旅行社的一名导游，请根据表格内容用英语向外宾介绍海南岛的基本情况。

2024_2025学年高中英语综合测试作业含解析新人教版选修8

综合测试第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分35分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AIt was a cold night in Washington, DC, and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me.He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat.I'd read the signs：“Don't give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept marching.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat！” But I kept on marching.The incident bothered me for the rest of the week.I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying.On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him.I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him.Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News.Out of the blue(突然地), I came up with an idea.Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day.Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean's?Before long my idea took_off.People would fax me or call when they took something in.Those who only grew flowers donated them.Food for the spirit.And relief for my conscience.As more and more people started working with the “Plant a Row” concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications.Row markers with the “Plant a Row” logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”．It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger.If every gardener in America —and we're seventy million strong－plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbours who don't have enough to eat.Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.( )1.Why did the author turn down the beggar's request?A．He was previously reminded not to do so.B．He was eager to march back to the hotel.C．He thought that it was beyond his duty.D．He was short of money at that moment.()2.Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase in Paragraph 6?A．We eventually took off at 11 o'clock and landed in Seattle safely.B．To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.C．On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.D．His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.( )3.What did the author do after the beggar's incident?A．He felt guilty but couldn't help him.B．He started a project to help the hungry.C．He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.D．He still supposed it was unwise to give money to beggars.( )4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Plant a Row for the HungryB．Lend a Hand to BeggarsC．Never Hesitate to Help OthersD．Plan a Gardening Project【语篇解读】作者曾经有一次没有给乞丐钱，回去以后心里始终担心，在工作的时候突然想到通过一项安排可以帮助饥饿的人。
