Apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to the court and a class of 14-15 year-olds with their teacher.9:05 Court starts. First case: Henry P.，47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.9:50 Mrs F., 72, shoplifting (店内偷窃). Apparently Mrs F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat (At this the school children burst out laughing and even the judges have difficulty keeping a straight face). The chicken was so cold that she fell unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs F, in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old - age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.10:30 Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather “borrowed” a motorcycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out.D.’s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up fourchildren, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.11:00 Mrs A., 45, a doctor’s wife, president of a local ladies’ club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.21. What did Henry P. do when he was caught?A. He damaged the pub.B. He attacked the police.C. He bothered other customers.D. He quarreled with his boss.22. How would the author feel about Mrs F.’s life?A. Active.B. Amusing.C. Pitiful.D. Ridiculous.23. Who had the unclear motivation for his/her crime?A. Henry P.B. Mrs F.C. PeterD. Mrs A.3.（8分）BThe full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, themoon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small. There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you intobelieving an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.24. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?A. It looks different.B. It becomes large.C. Its color disappears.D. Its shape changes.25. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?A. It turns orange.B. It comes nearer.C. It goes farther.D. It gets through dust.26. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?A. They are low on earth.B. They are large objects.C. They can affect our judgment.D. They can attract our attention.27. What can we infer from the text?A. The size of the moon often changes.B. We do not see the moon as it really is.C. The moon is beginning to shrink much.D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.4.（8分）CThe sun was slipping down through the trees and it was time to go home. Time was running out. His mother would look at him and she would know. She always knew. A hot tear ran down his cheek. She trusted him. This was the first year she had left him alone for three hours between school and the time she got home from work. She had to work to buy his clothes and to pay for their food and for a place to live. He remembered the nice way she said, “You are a little man now, Joy.” It made him sad when his mother’s words came back to him. She trusted him. Remembering this, he felt as if someone had stuck a sharp stick into his side. Her trust in him was all he could think about now. It drove everything else from his mind. “She trusted me.” He kept saying to himself. “She trusted me.” This was most important. Next to this, the pipe and its magic power meant nothing.Joy looked at the long shadows coming toward him. He now knew what he had to do. And he was in a hurry to get it done. When he took the pipe, he left the store with slow unsure steps.Now his feet were quick, decisive, taking him straight back to the store like an arrow. He was out of breath when he reached the store.Mr. Dow was just inside the door. The big man smiled. Joy wished he had not. Somehow, a bad friendly smile made it more difficult for Joy to do what he wanted to do. Joy was lost for a moment. His feet felt heavy. Suddenly, blindly, he held out the pipe. His voice struggled to come out from deep inside of the painful chest.“Mr. Dow,” he said at last, “I didn’t mean to take it.”“Thanks, Joy.” Mr. Dow said as he gently took the pipe from the boy’s hand. “How about staying around and helping me close up the shop?”Joy felt Mr. Dow’s big hand on his shoulder. And Joy felt his shoulders had become a little broader and stronger.28. What kind of a life did Joy and his mother live?A. A poor life.B. A new life.C. A happy life.D.A modem life.29. Why did Joy feel like being hurt by something sharp?A. He felt sorry for his mother.B. He couldn’t help thefamily.C. He had run away from school.D. He disappointed his mother’s expectations.30. What do we know about Mr. Dow’s smile to Joy?A. It’s broad.B. It’s warm.C. It’s false.D. It’s secret.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. An Interesting PipeB. A Powerful SmileC. Unconditional LoveD. Magic Trust5.（8分）DAmericans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?A. It’s valueless.B. It’s limited.C. It reflects today.D. It helps start a talk.33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. To calculate the value of the past.B. To plan a schedule for future events.C. To figure out the importance of time.D. To meet deadlines and appointments.34. When will Americans chain two events together?A. When common evidence is found.B. When the two events happen one by one.C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime.D. When one event happens long after another.35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?A. See time further.B. Make a long-range plan.C. Remember the past time.D. Keep their commitments.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）In the villages of Mexico, as in some other parts of the world, shopping is a kind of game.

AThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for a ll the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then an old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the Kunlun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.”At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.1.Which of the following words can not describe the baby ______.A.toothlessB. hairlessC. unusualD. small2.The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because ______.A. they needed a lot of different plantsB. they need a lot of different mineralsC. this would give the baby time to grow upD. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time3.______ the king wouldn’t have given them expensive presents.A. If doctors had not brought back a beautiful girlB. If the daughter were still a monster twelve years laterC. If the doctors had not been able to prepare the magic medicineD. If the doctors hadn’t found the mineralsBHave you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation---in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I thought it was annoying.Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.4. According to the passage, the purpose of the author’s train ride was ______.A. to do businessB. to see her childrenC. to visit places of interestD. to see her old friends5. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3?A. Disappointed.B. Satisfied.C. Worried.D. Pleased.6. Which of the following is TRUE about the old lady sitting next to the author?A.She is too old to drive now.B.She does not like to take trains.C.Although she is old, she has a good memory.D.Her daughters live far away from her home.7. In the author’s opinion, on the train Amtrak ______.A.the services are quite goodB. the food is terribly expensiveC. all the passengers are politeD. all the passengers are AmericanCForgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probablydon’t think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredible Hulk(绿巨人) get angry, they change colors and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. That’s why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Fo rgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your physical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression. They also have fewer headaches, lower blood pressure, and fewer problems on sleeping.So it doesn’t matter if your anger is caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath o r thought can help. Or just ask yourself if it’s worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else.Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say it’s OK. Instead, it’s a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past.8. The author of the passage tries to make his viewpoint clear ______.A. by raising his own examplesB. by mentioning some studiesC. based on his own experienceD. by mentioning some typical patients9. The example of the cartoon book characters is taken in the passage to ______.A. show how to control one’s temperB. introduce a famous expertC. let the reader know the different colors of cartoon facesD. show that anger and hatred can result in physical and mental harm10. People who are able to forgive may suffer less .A. stressB. depressionC. sleeping troubleD. all the above11. The best title for this passage is probably _______.A. ForgivenessB. Forgiveness Is Good for HealthC. A Secret to Keeping HealthD. Anger Is Bad for HealthDWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French wouldhave stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.12．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.B．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.C．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.D．They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.13．According to Mireille Guiliano, it is important .A．rarely to go to the gym .B．to know when to stop eatingC．to suggest how to avoid foodD．to go shopping at supermarkets more frequently14．The text is mainly developed(详细阐述) .A．by contrast(对比) B．by spaceC．by process D．by classification(分类)15．Where does this text probably come from?A．TV interview. B．A food advertisement.C．A book review. D．A health report.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.The U.S. dropped four spots from 2021 and landed in the 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place —followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.“The to p five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries—Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the fi rst report" in 2021, ”co-editor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected."Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2021 list but thecountries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico —24th overall, but 10th in immigration).“The most stri king finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just undera week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”1. What is the most significant finding of the report?A. That immigrants are different from residents in the country.B. That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.C. That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.D. That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.B. People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes topolicy-making.C. The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.D. What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.3. What is the best title of the passage?A. World Happiness Day.B. Happiness — forever pursuit.C. The 2021 World Happiness Report.D. What's your happiness index?BIf you rent an apartment in Beijing, you also rent the landlord or landlady for at least a year. It's important you find a good match because you have to deal with them in the long term. For me, it was love at first sight with the elderly couple who owns my apartment.It was quite a tough trying to find the right apartment when I first arrived in Beijing. The apartments were either unsuitable or I find fault with the owners who looked indifferent at best and unfriendly at worst. But that all changed when the renting agent's car stopped in front of a hutong house in the heart of the capital.I saw an elderly couple, in their 70s perhaps, waving to me. They were warm and welcoming at first glance, and when I saw them attentively hanging up the curtains in what would become my bedroom, I was just sold on the place and the owners!Chinese people talk about yuanfen, meaning fate that brings people together. Before I met my current landlords, I thought the concept of yuanfen was overrated.A generous landlady who liked me and wanted me to move into her apartment had used the term in reference to me. But it was this lovely couple that changed my mind about the concept.We have become accustomed to visiting each other at home. The couple's apartment is lovingly decorated, boasting a recent wedding photo of themselvestaken in bridal wear. The landlord likes to smoke and sip tea, while the landlady takes great pride in her appearance.After three years, I dare say they treat me a bit like a “daughter”, despite having two grown sons, one of them close by. They give me gifts of tea or clothes, and I bring them souvenirs from my trips. A match made in heaven, indeed!4. How did the author feel about renting an apartment in Beijing?A. It was a piece of cake.B. There were lots of unfriendly owners.C. It was worth trying different apartments.D. It was not so easy to find a suitable apartment.5. What did the elderly couple do when they first met the author?A. They looked indifferent and find fault with the author.B. They gave a warm welcome and took good care of the house.C. They liked the author and wanted her to move into their apartment.D. They were nice and gave her gifts of tea or clothes.6. Which one is correct about the elderly couple?A. They are newly married.B. They are nice and easy to get along with.C. They love drinking tea.D. They live together with their two sons.CMarathon fever is sweeping this country. In recent years, China's ever-growing passion for marathons has been triggered by its economic development and health-conscious middle class. A large number of marathon runners are white-collar workers, civil servants and business people that are keen on leading a healthy lifestyle. Government support, social participation and strong marketing by the sports industry have gradually led to the rapid development of the marathon industry, which is currently valued at 70 billion yuan ($10.77 billion). Due to its large participation and nationwide media report, marathons are considered by local governments an important part of marketing their cities. Thus, many cities list unique routes across local scenic spots and historical attractions, not only to boost people's fitness, but also to promote local tourism.For many runners, marathons are a way of life." As we get older, the places and opportunities to meet new people decrease. I find that participating in marathons is a simple way to make friends," said Wu, who made many friends in the Xstop Running Community, a running club with 48,000 members established by Xtep, one of the leading distributors of sports merchandise in China."The sense of belonging and the mutual encouragement that exists within the running community are very attractive to many people. We easily befriend one another, since we have the same goal: to keep running and never stop," Wu said.Besides, a marathon can be a great way to explore new places. For a runner who also loves traveling, marathons are a solid choice. "Competing in an international marathon is a chance to experience a city or a country you've never visited before," said Meng, an e xperienced runner from north China's Tianjin Municipality, who often runs in London, New York and Melbourne.There's a unique perspective that people get running through the streets of a city, distinct ancient buildings or amazing natural settings, he explained, things that somehow just can't be seen by rushing in a car. In addition, duringa race, streets are often closed off so you don't have to battle traffic.7. Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word "triggered" in thefirstparagraph？A. motivatedB. solvedC. battledD. Increased8. Who is most likely to take part in the marathonsA. John，a company managerB. Jack，a middle-aged farmerC. Rose，a high school studentD. Maria，a retired teacher9. According to paragraph 3&4，which of the following statement is NOT true？A. A marathon can be a great way to explore new placesB. There is few traffic in the streets during a marathon race.C. You see common sights by running through the streets of a cityD.Many people are attracted to mutual encouragement of the running community.10. Why do local governments support the marathons？A. Because nationwide media coverage can make them famous.B. Because they realize the benefits for their citizens.C. Because local scenic spots and historical attractions can have unique routes.D. Because they want to make people healthier and boost tourism.第二节七选五。

and had developed the antibodies to fight the illness．The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do，and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister．I saw him hesitate for a moment．He took a deep breath and said，"Yes，I'll do it if it can save Lisa．"As the transfusion was going on，the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister．He looked at her and smiled all the time．When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister's face，his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid．He looked up at the doctor and asked，"Will I start to die

Save TimeWe all wish we had just a bit more time．Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day：you could finally stick to an exercise routine，or spring-clean the house，or write your novel，or learn the guitar and so on．（46）But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter．1．Get Out of Bed EarlierIf you normally get up at 7：30 a．m．，try getting up at 7：00 a．m．That half-hour might not sound like much，but it could be time that you use to exercise，to read that book you've been meaning to finish．（47）2．Do the Important Tasks FirstOnce you get to work，get the important ones done first（not the easy ones，or even the urgent ones）．You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big，important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones．（48）The urgent tasks will still get done，and you won't miss the important ones．3．Reduce InterruptionsIf colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat，or if the phone is constantly ringing，you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter．Constant interruptions don't just eat up time，they also break your concentration．When you've got a big task to focus on，let your calls go to voicemail．（49）Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation．4．（50）A few minutes chatting，browsing the web，and so

bit．And if you're facing a difficult task，try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it's easier to deal with．A．Stay Focused on Your WorkB．Take Breaks When NecessaryC．If you have an office door，close it．D．If you work like this，you'll usually save time．E．Would you want me to make your day longer？F．I can't magically make all your days 25 hours long．G．Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start．四、完形填空（30）36．（30分）I will never forget that day when I was involved in a serious car accident．I became lame （瘸的） in both legs in my childhood，so I can't（51）without the support

高二10月月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计3小题，总分25分）1.（7.5分）AYoung people and older people don’t always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, “You stop thinking only about yourself, You learn to think about the group.”1.

I begged him to stop. He said he beat me to get me ready for the tough world.That same year, I was the only kid in my neighborhood that wasn’t picked for Little League. Two weeks later, Dad started the Shedd Park Minor League, and every kid played. Dad coached us and made me a pitcher（棒球投手）.The power of my dad’s love guaranteed I walked and more. In high school, I became a football star.In 1997, a brain surgeon in San Jose told me I didn’t have cerebral palsy after all. He explained how and where the doctor’s forceps（镊子）at birth had damaged my brain.My dad never knew the whole truth since he passed away years ago. But all that c ounts is the bottom line. After all his madness, on this Father’s Day, like every Father’s Day, I’m no longer disabled.4. What caused the author’s disability?A. A failed operation.B. The doctor’s forceps.C. An accident in a game.D. Shrunken and twisted muscles.5. What do we learn from the passage?A. The author has a talent for boxing.B. The author became a baseball star with the help of his father.C. The author achieved a lot thanks to his father’s love.D. The author doesn’t think his father should be so strict with him.6. Paragraph 3 suggests that the author’s father____.A. couldn’t accept the truth that his son was disabledB. believed his son was a normal childC. blamed the doctors for his son’s disabilityD. wouldn’t give up hope easily7. The author wrote the passage to ____.A. give advice to the parents of disabled childrenB. encourage disabled childrenC. show the difficulty the disabled faceD. remember his father3.（7.5分）CAccording to a survey (调查) by CIF, there's room for improvement all over Britain.Cleaning our home, love or hate it, is one job you have to work on. But that is not to say everyone spends the same amount (量) of time or effort on making their places tidy. A new survey by CIF-experts on making cleaning jobs easier shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven (炉), where you live in the UK may show how much effort you put into the job.BATHROOM25% of men have never cleaned the toilet, but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in ten Welsh men said They never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You are not alone - a quarter of a million British people say the same. 20% of Scottish people regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.KITCHEN36% of people in the southeast say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the northeast spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes, especially the kitchen. In sharp contrast (强烈的对比) to that, 49% of Welsh people put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.BEDROOM18% believe cleamng starts here: the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns (a kind of clothes). 51% of women in the northwest may be staying in bed and giving their husbands a cuddle (拥抱) as a" thank you" for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.LIVINGROOM32% of women in the northeast tum up the CD player to help make the cleaning more fun. Almost six in ten women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.★SHIFT (除掉)' THE DIRT WITH CIF! *It's no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half and no one knows that better than CIF. For all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF s top tips:●Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head. Give it a quick squirt (喷) with CIF bathroom spray (喷剂) once a week.●Stainless steel (不锈钢) tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Orchid Oxy-Gel lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.●Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue (烧烤) completely clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evemngs. Perfect!8. The main purpose of this passage is to _______.A. tell us the results of a certain surveyB. advertise a certain cleaning productC. show us which is the hardest job at homeD. advise men to do more cleaning housework9. According to the survey, ______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.A. people in WalesB. people in the northwestC. people in the southeastD. people in the northeast10. CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.A. an organization doing research on houseworkB. some experts who give advice on doing houseworkC. a company providing advice and products on cleaningD. a TV show about providing cleaning products二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）How did you learn how to ride your bike？Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot．11 No one is born to know how to study．You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them．12 Do you have trouble paying attention in class？Are you sitting next to a loud person？Is it hard to see the board？Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention．Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes．13 ．Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make a homework night no fun! It also makes it hard to do your best．We're all guilty of putting things off sometimes．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Break it up! When there's a lot to study，it can help to break things into chunks（大块）．Let's say you have a test on 20 spelling words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once，try breaking them down into a five-word chunks and working on one or two different chunks each night．Ask for help．You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．14 You can check yourself by reading through your notes．Does it all make sense？If not，ask your teacher to go over it with you．Get a good night's sleep．So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan-but suddenly you can't remember anything，not even 2+2! Don't worry．Your brain needs time to digest（消化）all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep．15A．Plan ahead for tests and projects．B．Study regularly instead of just the night before．C．You can learn how to study in much the same way．D．You'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．E．If you're studying math or science，do some practice problems．F．Be sure to ask your teacher for help if you're confused about something．G．Good studying starts in class．三、完形填空（本题共计1小题，总分30分）5.（30分） I was a person who always felt desperate before.

ADouglas Florian teaches readers about bees in a new book of poems called UnBEElievables. In his latest book, each poem is paired with a colorful image that illustrates(图解) a different type of bee and its role in the group. Every page is full of fun and interesting facts about these social insects.TFK: When you brainstorm for a story, which comes first: the images or the poems?FLORIAN: Usually the poems come first. For a book of 21 poems, for example, I'll actually write about 50 poems first. Although I sometimes have images in my mind to go along with the words, I have to choose which ones I want to include in the book.TFK: Many of your books, including UnBEElievables, are about insects and animals. How did these become your favorite subjects?FLORIAN: There is so much humor in the animal world. People have a lot of knowledge about animals and ideas about animals that are fun to explore in writing. Animals are just so interesting. When I research, I find out so many new and amazing facts. The poem is often half written by the time I have done with my research. TFK: Why did you choose bees as the subject of your latest book?FLORIAN: I saw recently in the news that many bees are dying out. Scientists believe this to be caused by various diseases. I wanted to create awareness and learn more about bees after hearing this. So many of the fruits and vegetables we eat are dependent on pollination(授粉) by honeybees. If bees disappear, so will much of our food.TFK: Do you have a favorite bee?FLORIAN: One of my favorites is the poem and painting about the worker bees.I wanted the painting to be very playful and light. These bees have to work all day, and it's kind of like a factory. And even though these bees have to work very hard, they manage to smile.21. UnBEElievables is a book about .A、storiesB、imagesC、insectsD、fruits22. Why did Douglas Florian choose bees as the subject of his latest book?A、Because bees are easy to explore in writing.B、Because bees are going to die out.C、Because he has no idea about bees.D、Because he wants people to protect bees.23. Douglas Florian likes the worker bees best mainly because of their .A、hard workB、attitude towards workingC、dangerous situationD、great contributionBNonverbal （非语言的）CommunicationWhen you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查),only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for exampl e, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting (侮辱)and should not be used there.In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion” or “I'm the winner”. It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. For example friends touch each other on the arm. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”.24. It is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in anothercountry because .A、most people speak different languagesB、it's easy to learn how to express oneself through gesturesC、people always make gestures before saying anythingD、much of our communication is nonverbal on many occasions25. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, hismotion means .A、yesB、I've heard youC、that's all rightD、no26. When the Russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the WhiteHouse .A、he made a show of friendship to AmericaB、he was insulting AmericaC、he meant Russia was the winnerD、he in fact meant nothing at all27. The gesture of putting one's thumb up should not be used when you are travellingin .A、GreeceB、the United StatesC、ChinaD、Southeast AsiaCJane was running late. Jane, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitorson the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But asshe hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Jane felt weak and tired---maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Tom, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot closeto where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, shefell in!" Tom didn't hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet towardthe body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Tom reached Jane, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and dragher away from the edge. That was where Jane briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.Jane thought she'd been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirtto help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn't,and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Tom told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown-just ashe had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained.28. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?A、Because they would miss their train.B、Because she was afraid the train would kill him.C、Because she was sure Jane was hard to lift.D、Because he didn't see the train coming.29. How did Tom save Jane?A、By pulling her along the ground.B、By helping her rise to her feet.C、By lifting her to the platform.D、By dragging her away from the edge.30. When did Jane become conscious again?A、When the train was leaving.B、When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.C、After the police and fire officials came.D、After she was back on the platform.31. The passage is intended to _____.A、tell us about a subway rescueB、show us how to save people in the subwayC、warn us of the danger in the subwayD、report a traffic accidentDHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling’s brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no matter what.And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(评论家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(负面的) to say about the performances ofthe film’s stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附带产品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.32. According to the author, we know Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part2________.A、is not as good as the first several Harry Potter moviesB、was poorly received by most of the movie critics in the USC、was expected to be very successful in making moneyD、is not as good as movie-goers expected33. What is implied about the performances of the film's stars?A、The performances are disappointing.B、The stars did much better before.C、The stars haven't made a breakthrough.D、The stars have done a very good job.34. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A、Lifestyle.B、Education.C、Entertainment.D、Kids.35. What would be the best title for this passage?A、The Harry Potter movies come to an end at last.B、The Last Harry Potter movie makes movie-goers sad.C、The Last Harry Potter movie comes in 3D and IMAX.D、The Last Harry Potter movie sets new box-office records第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully. Immediately, I was grateful that I had donethat_______It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle's Registration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.24．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A．He was lucky to learn the lesson.B．It was a good idea to do shopping that day.C．He was right to pick up the paper.D．It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.25．What information did the writer get from the paper?A．The woman's license plate number.B．The woman's phone number.C．The woman's name.D．The woman's address.26．How did the woman lose the receipt?A．She forgot where she had put it.B．A strong wind blew it away.C．It fell onto the floor.D．She left it in the parking lot.27．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Lesson I Will Never Forget B．Never Lose Heart or Give upC．Little Things Still Mean a Lot D．Think Carefully Before You Act3.（8分）People like different kinds of vacations. Some go camping. They swim, fish, cook over a fire and sleep outside. Others like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing to places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahal or the Louvre.Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourists”. They want to have an adventure—a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel companies and environmental groups are planning special adventures. Sometimes these trips are difficult and full of the world. Some volunteers spend two weeks and study the environment. Others work with animals. Others learn about people of the past.Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volunteers is leaving from Murmansk, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He’s worried about chemicals from factories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the environment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good trip for you. Volunteers need ski sixteen kilometers every day.Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four weeks in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphins can follow orders such as “Bring me the large ball”. Theyalso understand opposites. How much more can they understand? It will be exciting to learn about these intelligent animals. Another study trip goes to Washington State and follows orcas. We call orcas “Killer Whale” , but they’ re really dolphins—the largest kind of dolphin. These beautiful animals travel together in family groups. They move through the ocean with their mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. Ocean pollution is chasing their lives. Earthwatch is studying how this happens.Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for your adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there, on Santorini. This explosion was more terrible than Krakatoa or Mount Saint Helens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses, kitchens, and paintings as interesting as those in Pompei. Today teams of volunteers are learning more about people from the past.Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel far, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earthwatch vacation is for you.28．The Tai Mahal may be ________.A．a shopping center B．a hotel C．a dancing ball D．a place of interest29．From the passage, on an adventure trip, people ________.A．may not spend much time on sightseeing B．won’ t meet some difficulties or hardships C．can’t enjoy themselves D．can’t learn something30．If you want to learn something about people of the past, you can ________A．join the team to Hawaii B．join the team to the Far NorthC．join the team to Washington D．join the team to Greece31．The word “intelligent” in paragraph 4 means ________.A．exciting B．beautiful C．large D．clever4.（8分）Ivrea is a town in the Piedmont province of northern Italy. It is known for its local carnival（狂欢节）organized in February.The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice ayear the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti, lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to draw attention of boys in the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of local tyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses. Different elements are judged like for example throwing ability, fair play or decoration of carriages.32．The word "ammunition" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________. A．decoration B．bullets C．advertisement D．presents33．In Battle of the Oranges, the teams walking beside carriages act as ________.A．the Carnival general B．the local feudal lordC．the rebellious people of Ivrea D．the guards of local tyrant(暴君) 34．Which of the following statements about Battle of the Oranges is NOT true?A．In the middle ages, people threw beans out of homes as a sign of rebellion.B．Girls throw oranges towards carriages in the parade to attract the attention of boys inside. C．Tons of oranges are used every year to hold the festival.D．People started to throw oranges because they are of low quality and not suitable to eat. 35．What is this passage mainly about?A．A traditional activity in an Italian carnivalB．The origin of Battle of the OrangeC．How people enjoy themselves in the Orange CarnivalD．The rules of activities in carnivals in Italy二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start —there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own n ameon a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.25. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was trying to find an admirable job.C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.26. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money27. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Disturbed.B. Ashamed.C. Confident.D. Uncertain.28. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never tou ch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t a bsorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDHaving a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn, but you’ll need some help and needto work extra hard. If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, remember that you are not slow or stupid.Learning disabilities can be genetic. That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, But kids today have an advantage over their parents. Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works, and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing. Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia. Other kids may have language disorders, meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.It can be confusing, though. What qualifies as “trouble" enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability? Reading, doing math, and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first. But when those troubles don’t fade away and it’s really difficult to make any progress, it’s possible that the kid has a learning disability.Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting. You might feel different from everyone else. But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common. And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you’re facing, you’re on the right track. N ow, you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work, you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning. It may take a lot of efforts every day. That can be a challenge, but you can do it soon, y ou’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school.33. Children are likely to have a learning disability .A. if their parents have the same problemB. if they are not interested in a subjectC. if they don’t get hel p in timeD. if they don’t work hard34. How can you know if you have a learning disability?A. Your teacher says you are a slow student.B. You can’t make progress after hard work.C. You have trouble with some lessons at first.D. Your learning style is different from others.35. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To find out the reasons for the learning disability.B. To get parents to know more about their children.C. To help people know and handle learning disability.D. To ask teachers to help students with learning disability.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People whoexperience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.24. Human brains remember negative things more easily because negative things___.A can make people live much happier.B. are much more important than other thingsC. tend to affect human survival immediatelyD. are easy to remember25. According to this passage, people may find happiness in___.A. being famousB. setting life goalsC. chasing powerD. earning money26. In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us to ____.A. think more about our futureB. focus on everything in our lifeC. be positive in our life and workD. only enjoy the present moment27. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. What makes people happy.B. Why people remember negative things easily.C. Why people remember positive things easily.D. What makes people sad.CThe freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say“sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimmingpools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in theafternoon)filled the weekend,but the best part―particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables―was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m.to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,the tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的)promise,I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry,hard,andtasteless.But I homed in,withuncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm's stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal―and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where―luckily for me―I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it28.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.29.What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmers’ market.30.What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.31.What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.DThere’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recentdevelopment has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another rest aurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性）The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread fro m the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.32. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.B. It saves time and effort in cooking.C. It improves the cooking conditions.D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.33. What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A. It solves food shortages easily.B. It quickens the transportation of food.C. It needs no space for the storage of food.D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.34. According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food _____________.A. is more available to consumersB. can meet individual nutritional needsC. is more tasty than food in supermarketsD. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials35. What could be the best title of the passage?A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB. A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC. The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

What makes people sad.CThe freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say“sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon)filled the weekend,but the best part―particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables―was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m.to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,the tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的)promise,I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm's stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal―and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where―luckily for me―I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.28.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.

They are juicy.31.What was the author going to do that evening?A. Go to a farm.B. Check into a hotel.C. Eat in a restaurant.D. Buy fresh vegetables.DThere’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性）The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food pri nting could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.32. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.B. It saves time and effort in cooking.C. It improves the cooking conditions.D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.33. What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A. It solves food shortages easily.B. It quickens the transportation of food.C. It needs no space for the storage of food.D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.34. According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food _____________.A. is more available to consumersB. can meet individual nutritional needsC. is more tasty than food in supermarketsD. can keep all the nutrition in rawmaterials35. What could be the best title of the passage?A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB. A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC. The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
